As she walked further in, Lu Qiqi soon saw rows of white candles neatly arranged on candlesticks.
Feng Yu'er stood beside the ever-burning lamp, picked up the candlestick used to light the candles, and then lit each white candle one by one.
Lighting dozens of candles is not something that happens in an instant.
Lu Qiqi stood nearby, silently watching.
In fact, when she saw dozens of unlit white candles, she had some guesses in her mind.
If this place is not a Buddhist temple, then it is a shrine for commemorating the dead.
Thinking this, Lu Qiqi then remembered that the Feng family's current school was formerly the Feng family ancestral hall.
In retrospect, the actual ancestral hall for worship was located beneath this storeroom.
As expected, just as Lu Qiqi had guessed, when she walked behind Feng Yuer, she saw rows of memorial tablets in front of her.
There are hundreds, not just any hundreds!
The names written on these memorial tablets are not from the Feng family.
Rather, it is the soldiers who died on the battlefield!
Feng Yu'er put down the burning stick, lit an incense stick, and then turned to look at Lu Qiqi and said, "This is the ancestral hall of the Feng family army."
After saying that, she turned around and looked at the candle she had lit and the memorial tablet in front of her, saying, "When the border town was about to fall, the elders of the Feng family cleaned up this place so that the souls of the heroes could have a place to be worshipped."
So that's how it is!
It seems that General Feng probably knew he couldn't defend the border, so he specially ordered the ancestral hall to be moved here in an emergency.
Facing the memorial tablets before her, Lu Qiqi thought of them as meritorious officials who had protected their country.
Thinking of this, she picked up the incense sticks on the side, lit them, and then offered a stick of incense.
Feng Yu'er said, "A year ago, the Feng family army suffered a major defeat at the border city, leaving very few soldiers alive."
Those who survive now are all wounded soldiers, and their blood relatives and loved ones.
Wu Guangping's betrayal of General Feng caused countless people to lose their homes, become homeless, and live in daily grief.
Fortunately, Wu Guangping is now dead and sentenced by the emperor to the extermination of his entire family. None of his relatives who were implicated escaped.
This can also be considered a consolation to General Feng and the heroic souls of all the soldiers of Feng's army.
Soon, Lu Qiqi discovered that on the altar where the three-colored fruits were placed, there was also a bloodstained dagger.
Lu Qiqi recognized the dagger; it was the one she had handed to Feng Yu'er in the dark prison.
Although Feng Yu'er failed to kill her enemy that day, every time she stabbed Wu Guangping, it was to avenge the Feng family army.
At this moment, placing this dagger stained with Wu Guangping's blood on the altar was the last thing Feng Yu'er could do for the Feng family army.
Feng Yu'er's expression was resolute. She picked up a stack of booklets from the altar and handed them to Lu Qiqi, saying, "The Feng family army has always kept a roster. This is a booklet that was recently sent by an elder in the Feng family army."
After Feng Yu'er explained, Lu Qiqi finally understood the whole story.
It turns out that the old men of Feng's army knew about Wu Guangping's treason after the battle of the border town.
Fearing exposure, Wu Guangping ruthlessly slaughtered the few remaining veterans of the Feng family.
To evade capture, the old general went into hiding and begged in the border town for a year.
Only after witnessing Wu Guangping being cut in half at the waist did he dare to visit the Feng residence and hand over the last roster to Feng Yu'er.
Lu Qiqi had not yet received the roster and still did not understand why Feng Yuer had brought her here.
But when she received the roster, she felt as if the book weighed a ton, making her hesitate to open it.
Feng Yu'er said, "I have had this roster copied. You can take it back as a keepsake."
Upon hearing this, Lu Qiqi dared not open the roster.
She was a little scared.
I'm afraid of seeing a name I don't want to see in the roster.
An indescribable feeling lingered in her mind.
She was able to transmigrate here because the original owner died. Although she had little affection for the original owner's father.
However, as time passed, many scenes from the original owner's memories were deeply etched into her mind.
She could clearly recall every moment the original owner spent with Lu Dashan.
In my memory, Lu Dashan's skin was a bit dark from farming, but whenever he smiled, a dimple would appear at the corner of his mouth.
The two sisters, Lu Qiqi and Lu Yao, are good-looking, and half of their good genes come from their biological father, Lu Dashan.
Lu Dashan and Chen were very loving and cared for the sisters very much.
It can be said that when Lu Dashan was at home, no matter how much trouble the Lu family elders caused, the three women lived a fairly good life in the Lu family.
Even after Lu Yao was born, Lu Dashan separated from the old couple and the eldest son's family.
Close the door and live your own little life.
Chen has a scar on her face and doesn't like to go out much except when she goes to the embroidery workshop wearing a veil.
Therefore, the two Lu sisters liked to pester Lu Dashan to take them into the woods to pick wild fruits and catch rabbits for them to play with.
When the government was conscripting soldiers, Lu Dashan was arrested, and Chen was drowned by her fourth brother, Lu Dachuan, which led to the destruction of the two sisters' family.
The thought of Lu Yao, who was far away in Luzhou Prefecture, made Lu Qiqi even less courageous to open the roster.
Although she occupies Lu Qiqi's body, she is ultimately just a wisp of soul from another world, not Lu Yao's biological sister.
If Lu Dashan were gone now...
That little girl, as innocent as a white rabbit, truly has no immediate family in this world.
Thinking of this, Lu Qiqi felt a pang of heartache.
She didn't know how she followed Feng Yu'er out of the heroes' graveyard of the Feng family army.
By the time she realized what was happening, she was already standing in a room.
Feng Yu'er explained, "This is my father's room."
She then stepped forward and pushed open the door. The moment the wooden door opened, a beam of light shone into the room.
When she turned around, she found that Lu Qiqi's expression was unpleasant.
The two walked out of the Feng residence.
Feng Yu'er held Lu Qiqi's hand, feeling a chill, and said worriedly, "How about we get a carriage and have Zhou Yi take you back to the military camp?"
Lu Qiqi knew Feng Yuer's intention and understood that she was worried about her.
Therefore, she forced a smile and said, "I'm fine."
Then, she glanced down at the roster and said, "Even if his name is on this roster, he is still a hero who protects the country."
If Lu Dashan really dies, she will build a cenotaph for him and let Chen Shi be buried with him.
At that time, a servant from the Feng family led a horse to the front gate.
Lu Qiqi patted Feng Yuer's hand to reassure her before quickly walking to the horse.
He mounted his horse and rode off towards the military camp.
