The Blind Maiden
24. Goodbye, General Su

"What do you mean for the last time ?" Su Qionglin asked as she cried and hugged her Father's hand.

"You're all the sons of Father's daughters that I love most especially Qionglin, even though you weren't born the same as your sisters but you had a strong determination, she said, you don't lose to others and I love you very much. " Su Bei said affectionately.

"Dad..." Call Qionglin while crying profusely.

"Yun, sorry for giving this responsibility to me at this young age. You have just turned 18 it is time to find a life partner, you must inherit the Su Residence and take care of your mother and sister in the future. " She said Su Bei while holding back a cough.

In fact, even the usually firm Su Yun could not hold back anymore and began to cry loudly like the child his mother had left behind.

"Dad. " Su Yun said tremblingly.

"In front of my father and my brother, as well as heaven and earth. I, Su Yun swore that I would guard the Su Residence at all costs, even if I had to sacrifice myself. " Su Yun swore and kowtowed three times.

"It's nice to hear that, tell Lian that I love her too. She was a cheerful girl and caused the quiet Su Residence to come alive. " Su Bei said before finally closing his eyes and his breathing stopped.

Su Qionglin cried as she did and hugged her Father's body tightly, as if she did not want to let go.

"Don't go, Dad ! Don't go ! I really can't live without you, Dad !" Su Qionglin cried out miserably.

His voice ran out his eyes were swollen, but the tears did not stop even when Su Bei's body had frozen and hardened.

Su Yun hugged his sister and calmed her down even though he himself held back tears with all his might.

"Don't leave me.... " Su Qionglin muttered, he cried without a sound.

Su Yun himself could not bear to see his sister's condition like this, like losing his own soul.

"Qionglin, I'm calm there. You have to let go. " Su Yun's mouth raised Su Qionglin's body and hugged her.

Su Qionglin hugged Su Yun and cried as if on Su Yun's shoulder, she was really sad. The only savior in his life has left.

"Dad, why are you so brave and leave us so quickly ? Is it because you hate me ?" Asked Su Qionglin.

"No, of course not. I love you so much, you heard the words yourself. " Said Su Yun.

"Let's stand up and let all the other colleagues in to pay their respects to Father before Dad is taken to the Capital. " Continue Su Yun.

Su Qionglin understood that he had to step aside and he stood to a corner then pulled his handkerchief and covered his face so that no one would see.

People slowly entered the grounds, the first one was Vice General Fang. On his old face was a deep sadness, he had already fought with Su Bei for 20 years, from young to old, they were already together.

Mocking each other, insulting each other, both have often done it. They even know each other's disgrace.

Even the dashing Vice General Fang was unable to hold back his cries in front of the stiff body of his best friend.

"You, you fucking bastard promised me that we'd take a lot of other land expansions but are you going to stop here ? You are really bad for leaving me alone. " Secretary General Fang said sadly.

"Rest in peace, we'll see you later. " Continue Vice General Fang and leave from there.

"Miss, you must be strong. " Said Zhuang Qingyi.

"Thank you to both of you, if without you then I wouldn't be able to see my father even one last time. As a form of my gratitude then I will give this to you. " Su Qionglin said gratefully and prepared to prostrate in front of the two.

Zhuang Zhiqi and Zhuang Qingyi directly restrained Su Qionglin's shoulders to duck.

"I've said before if I can help then I will definitely help Miss Su, Miss Su need not come up like this for us. "Chap Zhuang Zhiqi.

"I really don't know how to repay your kindness. " Su Qionglin said sadly.

"Importantly, at this time Miss focus first on self-recovery and we will return to the Capital. General Su will surely be remembered as a martyr who sacrificed in battle, the whole world will surely cry for him. " Said Zhuang Qingyi.

There were so many soldiers crying to see a kind and silly General like Su Bei die in battle.

Su Bei was carried in a horse carriage and Su Qionglin was already like an undead whose entire face was swollen and pale from crying nonstop.

At this moment, even if he wanted to cry, it could no longer. Su Qionglin sat inside the horse carriage together with Su Yun and looked at their Father inside this open chest.

The journey felt slow and tiring, he had even exhausted all his strength to do something else.

"Sister, I might not be able to keep up with Dad's arson, I might not be strong. " Su Qionglin said.

"You must be strong, we will see Father one last time before delivering him to the best place for him. " Said Su Yun.

"Sister, I don't have anyone else... What about my life ?" Su Qionglin asked lamenting his fate.

"You still have me and Lian, don't be sad. " Answer Su Yun patiently.

Su Qionglin nodded and tried to convince himself with the statement.

How wicked is the fate of this world that cut off the relationship between Father and Son in one go ? But, this is a war, everything can end easily.

The crying is not just their family, there are many mothers or wives who have lost their husbands or sons.

There were also many children who lost their Father, all of them sad and none of them happy.

In the end, war does not bring happiness, because there is always sobs that accompany it.

It took 7 hours to reach the Su Residence and there was already Madam Su and Su Lian waiting with sobs on her face.

Everyone already knew that General Su had fallen in battle this time around, Su Qionglin descended along with Su Yun who was instantly approached by Su Lian.

"Where's Dad ?" Su Lian asked hysterically.

"Inside. " Su Qionglin replied and hugged Su Lian tightly.

Su Lian cried loudly but Su Qionglin felt that her tears were already dry, leaving only a deep pain.
