Chapter 220 A Unique Favoritism

Bai Nuo was chatting enthusiastically with the little system, but his eyes never left the scope for even a moment.

The people in the old cowshed all went to bed early, and it was already pitch black down there. However, the scope on Bai Nuo's sniper rifle had thermal imaging and night vision capabilities, so he could spot anyone who approached immediately.

The night was calm and peaceful, with no disturbance even in the mountains. However, two wild boars did wander over, only to be sent into the space by the little system to serve as sparring partners for Fugui'er.

Bai Nuo had never served in the military and didn't know how those snipers who were lying in wait went to the toilet, but she didn't compromise her own habits, after all, her cheat codes were powerful, extensive, and numerous.

Without Bai Nuo even needing to provide equipment, the little system automatically spent points from the system store to buy a system-specific telescope. It's small, with a custom-designed, compact form factor, clear and convenient, and allows you to see far.

After buying the telescope, the little system even wanted its host to go back into its space and get a good night's sleep.

However, Bai Nuo didn't do it. She went back to her space to use the restroom and came out again. After all, her little system couldn't use a sniper rifle; the recoil would send the little system flying.

As dawn broke, the little system flew out of the space, holding a thermal lunchbox containing rice balls the size of fish balls, each mixed with seaweed flakes, which looked delicious.

"Host, ah~"

The little system took a small fork, picked up a small rice ball, and fed it to Bai Nuo's mouth. "This was specially made by 925. He said it would be easier for the host to eat this way. He also found a portable sports water bottle with a straw in the storage room. I'll go in and get it after you finish eating."

A smile flashed across Bai Nuo's eyes; she felt she was definitely the happiest among the lurking snipers.

Without lifting a finger, he ate breakfast while lying down. The old cowshed door in the scope was slowly pushed open, and a man around fifty years old walked out.

Bai Nuo frowned slightly as she looked at the person who came out. This person... looks familiar!

There were six people in the old cowshed. Bai Nuo had only met four of them who regularly went to the feeding team to clean the pigsty and chicken coop. The other two had been assigned to other places, and Bai Nuo had not met them yet.

One of them was the one who had just come out of the cowshed. He was wearing a tattered long gown and looked to be only about fifty years old, but his hair was completely white. However, he seemed to be in good spirits, and his eyes and brows showed a resolute and righteous air.

"I think I've seen this person before when I was little!" Bai Nuo thought carefully for a moment, then suddenly his eyes widened: "Holy crap, I remember who he is!"

Bai Nuo finally figured out why her great-uncle chose to stay here.

"Host, who is this?" The little system held up a small telescope and looked curiously at the old man doing stretching exercises at the entrance of the cowshed.

Even though the old man had been sent down here, there was no sign of sorrow or resentment on his face. On the contrary, he was in good spirits, and he even managed to make his tattered jacket look like a Zhongshan suit.

He looked like he used to be an official in a government department!

Bai Nuo pursed her lips: "According to the family line, I should call him my maternal great-uncle. He is my maternal grandfather's distant cousin. His mother is from a branch of the Bai family. However, he has a very good relationship with my maternal great-uncle. The two grew up together. His wife is also from the Wei family. She grew up in the Wei family and was a female manager under my maternal grandmother."

Bai Nuo carefully recalled that her memories of the past ten years or so were very chaotic, and she had to think about many things slowly.

There's nothing I can do. My brain has been damaged for over a decade. Although everything I've seen and heard before is automatically remembered by my brain, it's as if a folder called "memory" has been created in my brain. When I'm not conscious, everything I see and hear is automatically stored in this folder. Things I remember when I'm conscious can be easily recalled later, but the memories in the "memory folder" can only be retrieved when I feel they are familiar and actively search for them.

She felt that her brain was so strangely broken that it might be related to her own system, since only machine programs would have this kind of storage method, but it was probably not something that could be shared by the smaller system.

Bai Nuo racked her brains for a long time before finally letting out a sigh of relief: "I remember now. I remember that this great-uncle used to live in the government compound next to our house. He was a neighbor of the Yu family. He was very busy with work and rarely came to my house, but his wife always went to see my grandmother. Later... it seems that my grandmother sent his wife and grandson away. It seems that they sent them to Hong Kong. Not long after that, I was also sent away."

The little system tilted its head and blinked in confusion. It drove the clone program to circle around the cowshed and finally said in bewilderment, "Host, there are five other people in the cowshed: an elderly couple around sixty years old, a middle-aged man around forty years old, and a young man and woman in their twenties. None of them look like your great-uncle. Where are his children? Did they also sever ties with him?"

The small system has been sending out clones to investigate nearby brigades in order to find a reliable traditional Chinese medicine doctor to treat Yu Xuling's muteness.

As a result, they didn't find the old Chinese medicine doctor, but they heard a lot of gossip, such as being reported by students, being reported by their children, and then severing ties.

So, I asked that question subconsciously.

Bai Nuo shook his head: "No, he had two sons and a daughter. His eldest son and youngest daughter both died on the battlefield, and his second son is still missing."

The little system was even more confused: "Since your grandmother sensed that something was going to happen and sent his wife and grandson away, why didn't he go with them? Why is he suffering here?"

Bai Nuo gently shook her head: "I don't understand either. I admire their spirit and will to dedicate everything to the country and the people. Even if they are framed and abandoned by their so-called beliefs, they still wait for the light to come without resentment or hatred."

But I can't understand their noble ideas and actions. I only want to protect my own people. Whoever harms my family, I will fight them to the death.

The reason she's lying here is to wait for the person hiding in the mountains to walk into her trap, and also to help Fang Meng so that he can do what he needs to do in peace.

Fang Meng's kindness to her was clear in her heart, she could see it clearly. It was kindness that had never changed since childhood, it was complete and unique favoritism, and it was kindness without principle.

Bai Nuo likes this unique goodness, so she will hold onto Fang Meng's goodness tightly, not letting him run away, and not letting anyone take him away. At the same time, she will also be good to Fang Meng.

She wouldn't ask Fang Meng what he was planning to do, nor would she care about his identity. All she needed to do was stand behind Fang Meng, protecting his rear so he could charge forward fearlessly.

An old man at the entrance of the old cowshed stretched his limbs, turned around and picked up a wooden bucket by the door. At this moment, a young man of about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old came out from inside and quickly bent down to take the wooden bucket from the old man's hand.

"Teacher, let me do it, let me do it, you rest!"
