Before going to the provincial capital, her grandfather accompanied her back to her school.
She successfully received her graduation certificate. The principal looked at her with some regret and sighed deeply, "Bai Yajing, your grades have always been excellent, although the current situation..."
Sigh! Your teacher still hopes you won't fall behind in your studies and will wait for the resumption of the college entrance examination. The country won't stay in this state of chaos forever. If we want to develop, talent is indispensable.
You must have faith in our motherland…
After saying that, he waved his hand and said no more.
He was only able to say all this today because he truly appreciated her talent. Otherwise, given the current frenzied situation of frequent accusations, he certainly wouldn't have spoken up.
Bai Yajing felt a warmth in her heart. The old principal had always contributed to education and stuck to his post no matter how difficult it was. He was a very respectable teacher.
She listened to his heartfelt words today.
"Thank you, Principal. I'll remember that and I definitely won't fall behind in my studies!"
However, Principal, you should also be careful; the situation is chaotic right now…”
She could only touch on the subject briefly; in fact, she hoped the former principal would temporarily avoid the limelight, resign from his job, and stay home to hide.
However, the old headmaster would not agree...
He's been worrying too much lately, and in a short time, his hair has turned completely white, he looks much older, and he seems rather listless. She's really worried about him.
The old headmaster's eyes welled up with tears, and he nodded repeatedly, "Good child, you are a good child..."
Go back quickly, and don't come to the city unless absolutely necessary.
She nodded and left her village's phone number.
"Call me if you need anything."
Thinking about the vandalism she had witnessed on campus and the few students in her class who were not paying attention in class, she felt that leaving her contact information would be useful in the future.
"Okay. Go back now."
The old headmaster didn't dare keep her any longer and urged her to leave quickly.
This morning, my grandparents got up early and went to the kitchen to prepare food for Bai Yajing on her way.
When she got up, breakfast was already on the table: a steamed egg and a pot of sweet potato porridge.
Grandma placed the food boxes she was carrying on the table.
"You can put it in the jade pendant and take it out to eat when you're away from people."
"Also, just pack a few light clothes in your bag to make it look like you're carrying anything else, it'll be too much trouble. Keep your money and tickets safe, there are pickpockets on the train!"
That day, when Nannan told them about the jade pendant, the two old people were so frightened that they immediately closed the doors and windows and repeatedly told them not to tell anyone else and to take things away from people.
In one day, she figured it out: whatever she put into the jade pendant, except for that patch of barren black soil, remained exactly the same whether she put it in or took it out.
The black soil is very fertile and can be used for planting.
Bai Yazhu nodded obediently and put the food box inside.
After saying that, Grandpa brought over a basin of hot water, and Grandma took out a small bottle of medicine, opened the stopper, dripped a few drops, and mixed the water and medicine together with her hand.
"Your face is fair and pretty, so you'll easily attract attention on the train. Those human traffickers especially like to target pretty, single young women like you."
Furthermore, since your grandfather is having problems, you'd better keep a low profile and avoid attracting attention.
"Grandma's special medicine, wash your hands and face with it, and the discoloration will gradually fade within a month. By then, you'll probably be back soon."
Bai Yajing watched as the water in the basin instantly turned a muddy yellow color, and her lips twitched involuntarily.
Her beautiful face is about to run away from home...
