However, explaining it to the little packrat was another matter.

“They, they were buried under the soil and rocks to protect the people here.”

The packrat panicked when she heard that. Her hands and feet moved excitedly. “Ah! Then hurry up and save them! Save them!”

Yun Ran was dumbfounded.

“Sweetcake, you heard from Mother that they’ve been buried here for a long time, so… so even if we want to save them now, it might be too late.”

Yun Ran wanted the packrat to understand what she was saying as much as possible, but she also wanted the packrat to accept this without being hurt.

It was a little difficult.

In the end, she explained everything to the little packrat, but the little packrat also cried.

She was crying very hard.

Yun Ran, MO Beiyuan, and Bai Wan took turns hugging and coaxing her.

The little packrat was too tired from crying. In the end, she fell asleep in her father’s arms.

On Yun Ran’s side, she began to discuss with Bai Wan and the soldiers of the Bai family army how to find the corpses of those people back then.

They also brought along a few young soldiers who had survived the battlefield back then. Back then, they were young, only 15 or 16 years old. They were arranged by the general to sit at the back and were lucky to survive.

Yun Ran and Bai Wan wanted to rely on their memories and accounts to find the corpses of those people back then. This was because no one knew this place better than these people who had experienced it before.

A few soldiers from back then sat by the fire and began to tell everyone what had happened here.

“Actually, the earthquake and the storm did not happen during the battle between the two armies. Instead, it was a rumor spread maliciously by Wu e an.”

“The dead soldiers died at the hands of the Wu’an Army. Back then, there was a deep enmity between the general in charge of the Wu’an Army and General Bai Xiao. After the Wu’an side won, they threatened to bring back the corpses of our general and a few junior generals, cut off their heads, and hang them on the city wall of Wu’an.”

“But at this moment, a heavy rain suddenly fell from the sky, right on the heels of which was a sandstorm that made people unable to open their eyes. Then, there was a huge earthquake that shook the entire valley.”

These were the truths of the past.

However, after the Bai family was slandered for treason, the rumors in the five countries were that the Bai family’s Bai Xiao and his sons had done evil deeds. The heavens could not stand it anymore, so they took action to punish them and make them die without intact corpses.

They said that this was the Bai family’s retribution!

“But if it’s really retribution, why not before the war between the two countries? Why not after Wu’ an wins?”

“Moreover, our Great General did not commit treason at all. How can there be retribution?”

The few middle-aged men’s eyes turned red as they talked about what happened back then.

Yun Ran naturally did not believe in retribution.

However, the storm, the wind, and the earthquake were indeed strange.

She had asked the 12 Divisions to check this place. Other than the earthquake 20 years ago, there was no record of the second earthquake here in the past hundreds of years. The commoners had never seen such a huge storm or such a strong wind.

Three natural phenomena appeared at the same time. It was hard not to think too much about it.

“I’ve confirmed the location. Let’s start digging tomorrow! ”

They had already made preparations when they came. In addition to manpower, they had also mobilized many flying demon beasts.

As long as they persevered, they would be able to dig out the bones buried underground.

As time passed, bones were dug out from the ground one after another.

Each of the skeletons was carefully marked with a tablet. The items that they carried with them were properly preserved for General Bai t s soldiers to bring back. When they returned to the East Continent, their families would identify them..
