Chapter 827 ·Desolate

Shang Junzhuo pretended to be strong and said, "I'm fine, you don't have to worry. Life and death are going on and on, I've been thinking about it for a long time, you don't have to persuade me."

"That's good." Geng Wenjia said, "The deceased has passed away, and the living must be stronger. You are still young and your future life is still growing. Instead of being sad at this time, it's better to consider how you will live your future life and what are your plans."

Shang Junzhuo said, "I know, thank you for coming here to help me. As for what you plan, I'm afraid I'll have to think about it slowly. It happened suddenly, and I haven't recovered from my shock."

Geng Wenjia said, "It's rare that everyone has a similar temper. If something happens like this, I naturally have to come over and take a look, otherwise how can I feel at ease?"

Seeing that it was getting late, Bai Xiuzhi urged Meng Fansheng to take Geng Wenjia back.

Meng Fansheng glanced at him, "Aren't you going back with us?"

He regretted it as soon as he said it.

Judging from Bai Xiuzhi's attitude, how could he go back?

Meng Fansheng thought of the day when he didn't return all night. He was particularly worried, but after Bai Xiuzhi came back, he found that his face was full of redness and seemed to be in a very good mood.

Meng Fansheng's eyes fell on Bai Xiuzhi and Shang Junzhuo. He smiled slightly and whispered, "I'll leave first. You two should pay attention to your health, so don't be too harsh." He said to Bai Xiuzhi again, "Don't worry, if sir asks, I will explain it for you."

Shirasuji patted his shoulder, "Thank you."

Meng Fansheng knocked off his hand, "What's our relationship? Why be so polite?"

Geng Wenjia comforted Shang Junzhuo a few more words, and then followed Meng Fansheng out of the school gate in silence.

Without outsiders present, there was silence everywhere.

Shang Junzhuo looked at the empty school, and the laughter of the past seemed to disappear in an instant. Thinking that the person who was still talking happily in the morning turned into a cold corpse lying in the coffin at night, Shang Junzhuo only felt that the change was too fast and it caught people off guard and could not accept it.

She had been in front of outsiders for so long, and she was finally extremely tired at this moment and sat softly on the ground. Bai Xiuzhi hurriedly stepped forward and helped her up, "The ground is cold, I'll help you sit inside."

Shang Junzhuo nodded numbly, his mind was confused and he couldn't find the direction at all.

She didn't even know what was going on, she just felt that everything in front of her was a nightmare, and as long as she woke up, it would be over. Her father would wake up again, and they could still quarrel and make a fuss, and then love and care for each other sincerely...

At that time, she will definitely make more rice wine so that her father can drink enough at one time.

Thinking of this, Shang Junzhuo finally cried out.

If she had known this, she would have been better with her father. She would not argue with him, listen to him seriously. Leave more time to accompany him. Looking back now, the father and daughter still have too little time together. When they are too few memories, every picture is precious, which makes people reluctant and sad.

Shang Junzhuo burst into tears.

Bai Xiuzhi comforted with heartache, "Stop crying, be careful to make your eyes cry. If Principal Shang sees you like this, he will definitely be uneasy."

Shang Junzhuo leaned against his arms and cried weakly, "Xiaozhi, I feel that I am good and bad, and I am not worthy of being someone else's daughter. I have always been against him all day long and have never sat down and talked like other fathers and daughters. I always don't let him drink. Now I feel really regretful. There are too few facts I have done for him."

Bai Xiuzhi said, "Don't say that. If you hadn't been with you over the years, I wouldn't know what situation would be in the elementary school to be in a downturn? Thanks to your busy management, Principal Shang can calm down and teach. Why do you need to use other father-daughter relationships to demand yourself?"

Shang Junzhuo said, "But I have no father now! I lost my mother in my early years and have always depended on each other for my life. I didn't expect that I would send my father away now. From now on, I will become an orphan, and I will be the only one left in the world!"

"No, why are you alone?" Bai Xiuzhi hugged him tightly, "Isn't I still there? I can let you rely on, don't you think about it, do you know?"

Shang Junzhuo cried, "How could it be so sudden? He was still fine in the morning..."

Bai Xiuzhi knew that she was competing with him and had to figure it out himself. He simply stopped talking and patted Shang Junzhuo's back gently, giving her a hint of warmth.

Shang Junzhuo cried for a while, and seemed a little tired, leaning on Bai Xiuzhi's shoulder to get in a daze.

The quiet night became more and more desolate, with only the two white lanterns in front of the spirit shed swaying in the wind.

The clearly extinct flames reflected on the faces of the two people. Shang Junzhuo looked ahead blankly, his eyes dull, as if he had lost hope.

Bai Xiugong is thoughtful.

Judging from the situation in front of him, he probably couldn't go back to Hangzhou during the Mid-Autumn Festival. He was really worried about leaving Jun Zhuo alone in Nanjing.

The two of them snuggled up to each other and sat to the destiny. The three foreigners in the church prepared food to visit them. The curly foreigners looked sad and comforted Shang Junzhuo with their hands and feet.

After three days of spiritual cessation, Principal Shang was buried in a hurry.

The cemetery is located on the mountain where Shang Junzhuo often goes, and her mother is buried here. Now her parents are buried together. Shang Junzhuo looked at the weeds on the new grave and felt mixed feelings.

After returning to school and packing up Principal Shang's belongings, she left this sad place without looking back.

The foreigners in the church came forward to find the Ministry of Education. In a few days, another young man came to serve as a gentleman and took over the job of Principal Shang. The elementary school still had a loud voice, but the teaching people changed their appearance.

Shang Junzhuo stayed at home and refused to leave.

Bai Xiuzhi could only visit her every day, for fear that something would happen to her.

Shang Junzhuo lost a lot of weight and was not energetic. He leaned against the bed and didn't eat anything. He had to vomit even if he drank two more sips of water. Bai Xiuzhi was going to find the doctor, but she didn't agree to anything. On the first seventh day of Principal Shang, Bai Xiuzhi accompanied her to reunite the grave for Principal Shang. The two of them did not rush back, but walked a short circle around the mountain road.

Shang Junzhuo was extremely familiar with this place and said to Bai Xiuzhi, "When my mother died, I was still young. At that time, I didn't understand what death was. Later, I realized that death also left forever. I often came to see my mother, and I always felt that she was still there, just sleeping on the ground. She could hear whatever I said. As I grew older, I became sensible, and I didn't come much."

Bai Xiuzhi whispered, "Your mother will definitely be very pleased to see that her daughter has grown into an adult who can take care of her."

Shang Junzhuo sighed faintly, "Before my mother passed away, she grabbed my hand and told me to take good care of my father. I promised it well at that time, but in the end I broke my promise. I don't know if my mother would blame me?"

Bai Xiuzhi said, "It is human nature to be old, sick and die, who can compete with it? She will definitely understand you and will not blame you or anything."

Looking at Principal Shang's new grave, Bai Xiuzhi thought of his father.

For so many years, he has not had the opportunity to go to his father's grave to add a stick of incense to add a handful of soil. His father has a spirit in heaven. Will he be angry with him?

When Bai Xiuzhi returned to school, Bai Xiuzhi sent a letter to his home. The letter did not mention Principal Shang's affairs, but only said that he had other important things and could not go back on the Mid-Autumn Festival. He solemnly apologized to the elders in the family, expressed his guilt to Bai Rongxuan, and promised to go home for reunion during the Chinese New Year.

When the letter was delivered to Bai Rongxuan, there were only a few days left before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Tang Songzhou and Tang Xuehua had already returned from Suzhou.
