Bai Shiqing could no longer personally announce Shen Heng's death to Bai Jiaojiao.
Bai Jiaojiao understood everything just by looking at Bai Shiqing's expression.
“He will definitely come back. How could he just die like that?”
Bai Jiaojiao sat up, feeling a little dizzy, with everything in front of her dark.
"Little sister, slow down."
There are too many accidents at sea.
Even a slightly strong wind can be terrifying; there are precedents of people being thrown into the sea from the deck.
"I'm going to wait for him; he'll definitely come back!"
Bai Jiaojiao climbed up from the kang (a heated brick bed), but Bai Shiqing quickly pressed her down, saying, "Bai Jiaojiao, what foolish thing are you doing?"
"Sister, don't stop me. I'm going to find him. I'll go to the dock and wait for him to come back."
In everyone's eyes, Bai Jiaojiao's emotions were already abnormally agitated.
Everyone locked her in the room, with Bai Shiqing keeping her company: "Little sister, no one wanted this outcome, but you have no choice but to accept it. You have a long life ahead of you."
Bai Jiaojiao is only twenty years old this year, younger than some of the unmarried girls in the village.
Although it's her second marriage, with Bai Jiaojiao's looks, she can find a decent man again.
Bai Shiqing made these plans for Bai Jiaojiao, hoping that Bai Jiaojiao could get over it as soon as possible.
But for Bai Jiaojiao, the most important thing about her rebirth is to stay with Shen Heng forever.
If Shen Heng is gone, how should she face the rest of her life?
"Sister, if he's gone, I won't live either."
"What are you saying? Did you only marry Shen Heng? Don't you have a father or sisters? What do you mean by 'not wanting to live'? Did you die so easily back then?"
Bai Shiqing was furious and spoke in a harsher tone, but seeing Bai Jiaojiao's absent-minded look, she felt like she had punched a cotton ball.
Oh well, this period will pass.
Bai Shiqing knew that Bai Jiaojiao would have a very difficult time in the coming days, but she would get through it eventually.
Bai Shiqing and Bai Jiaojiao slept together, watching her.
Bai Jiaojiao was fine throughout the day, except for being a little dazed.
Bai Shihai and Bai Zhiman were still discussing how to handle Shen Heng's funeral arrangements. The Shen family would definitely not care about him, and it was uncertain whether he could even be buried in their ancestral grave.
News of Shen Heng's death at sea spread throughout the village, and everyone said, "Who would have thought that Bai Jiaojiao was the one who cursed Shen Heng to death? Tell me, how strange is that!"
"Maybe Shen Heng's parents are looking for him at sea. What kind of fish is so strong that it can pull a person into the sea?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Li Shiqing happened to hear what these people were saying and quickly stopped them.
"Village chief, are we wrong? Our village's boats haven't had an accident in ages. Will our village still be able to go out to sea in the spring?"
If something happens on the ship, the higher-ups will always investigate.
If the trip to sea is delayed, it will be a significant loss for the village.
"This is none of your business. The brigade leader will handle it. You can go back to what you were doing."
Li Shiqing was also annoyed all day. He went to ask Zhou Fukun about the specifics of the day, but Zhou Fukun just beat around the bush.
The other crew members stammered and spoke incoherently; he had no idea how to write the report.
The Shen family elders haven't said whether they want to arrange Shen Heng's funeral. Bai Shiqing said the Bai family wants to help Shen Heng, but they don't want to have any contact with the Shen family, so they want him to act as a middleman.
Li Shiqing was overwhelmed with problems. Why did he encounter such a thorny issue so soon after becoming the village chief?
Bai Shiqing slept soundly that night. When Bai Jiaojiao called out "Second Sister," she didn't respond.
After Bai Jiaojiao came to Shili Village, she lived with Bai Shiqing for quite a few days. She knew that Bai Shiqing usually didn't shake her at night, and even thunder wouldn't wake her up.
She quietly removed the latch from inside the window. The window wasn't sealed yet, so Bai Jiaojiao slipped out through the window frame.
The snow on the road had been swept to the side of the road by everyone. Bai Jiaojiao looked up at the bright moon and exhaled a puff of water vapor.
She arrived at the dock, where no one was guarding it and no one knew she had entered.
Bai Jiaojiao climbed onto the highest rock by the pier. Under the moonlight, the sea was pitch black.
A cold wind howled, and the surging sea made a terrifying sound.
Bai Jiaojiao didn't know where to focus her gaze. Looking at the sea in front of her, thinking that Shen Heng was right here, Bai Jiaojiao's tears fell incessantly.
If she died now, would she have a chance to start over?
Even if she didn't, she didn't want to continue.
The thoughts she should have severed in her past life were already well worth the six months she managed to steal.
Or perhaps after she jumps, she discovers that everything that happened here was just a dream, and she is now lying in a hospital bed, struggling to survive?
Bai Jiaojiao felt utterly dejected. Just as she was about to jump off the rocks, she saw something washed ashore on the slightly pale beach illuminated by the moonlight.
like......
Bai Jiaojiao quickly turned around, but in her haste, she lost her footing and fell directly off the rocks.
Fortunately, she was wearing many layers in winter, and Bai Jiaojiao felt the rocks rubbing against her pants, but there was no pain.
She climbed off the rocks and hurried toward the beach.
It's a person, a shadowy figure...
The closer Bai Jiaojiao got, the faster her heart beat.
"Brother Heng? Brother Heng!"
Bai Jiaojiao was certain that the gray thermal underwear the man was wearing was the one she had bought. The path on the beach was difficult to walk on, and Bai Jiaojiao ran over, her steps uneven. When she saw Shen Heng's face clearly, she was trembling all over.
She crouched down and discovered that Shen Heng was still breathing. Overjoyed, Bai Jiaojiao burst into tears and dragged him toward the shore.
Shen Heng was so big that Bai Jiaojiao somehow found the strength to pull him out of the sea and lay him flat on the beach.
"Brother Heng, can you hear me, Brother Heng?"
Bai Jiaojiao took off her cotton-padded coat and covered Shen Heng with it. In such cold weather, he was only wearing an autumn shirt.
Shen Heng was soaked until his whole body turned white, and he looked even paler and weaker than when he was dead.
Bai Jiaojiao wanted to drag Shen Heng back to the village, but she really didn't have the strength.
In her despair, her hand, which was placed beside Shen Heng, was squeezed.
"Heng-ge? Heng-ge, you're awake?"
Bai Jiaojiao looked at Shen Heng's face, but saw no sign that he would open his eyes.
Bai Jiaojiao bit her lip, quickly weighing the options in her mind.
She ran towards the exit of the dock and called the door of the house closest to the dock.
"Brother and sister-in-law, please help me! Shen Heng has been washed ashore by the waves. Please help me carry him home!"
The family was already quite annoyed at being woken up late at night.
But when she heard Bai Jiaojiao's voice, she came out as well.
As the saying goes, the dead should be respected, and Bai Jiaojiao, this widow, is also pitiful.
"Wait a minute, let me take our door panel off."
These days, people can't afford pipes, so they even store corpses on door panels at home.
People are still superstitious and don't want to directly touch a corpse.
"Heng is breathing, brother, can you help me? We'll help him back!"
"Is he still breathing?"
