Chapter 932: Miscarriage 5
The old Master Gu could be said to be a significant figure in the capital, and although his funeral wasn’t grand on a massive scale, the number of people who came to accompany him on his last journey in this world was almost too many to count.
On the day of old Master Gu’s burial, He Zhilan still mustered her strength to go. Watching Master Gu’s coffin gradually being covered by the yellow earth, with what seemed like countless genuine cries around her ears, her heart was already aching to numbness.
The weather, which was already gloomy, suddenly began to drizzle. In such a season, rain was truly rare.
He Teng quickly took off his military coat, draped it tightly over He Zhilan, and covered her thoroughly. His hands also shielded her head, protecting her in his embrace, using all his capability to shield her from the baptism of the rain.
The two stood far away from Master Gu’s gravesite, hiding under a tree, secretly watching everything that was happening over there. They seemed like outsiders to this funeral, yet the sense of reluctance harbored by He Zhilan, an outsider, was no less than that of the insiders.
"Zhilan, let’s go back, the rain is getting heavier." Seeing that Master Gu’s coffin was completely buried, He Teng gently asked the He Zhilan in his arms, who was only quietly shedding tears with no sign of movement, his heartache beyond words.
He Zhilan gently nodded her head, her whole body weakly leaning on He Teng, allowing him to pick her up and step by step, leave this piece of heaven and earth.
At this moment, the most sorrowful farewell was nothing more than the separation by life and death.
She was here, while the person she wanted to bid farewell had gone to a faraway world, no longer able to see or hear her talk.
