Nan Zhi’s fingers trembled as they curled together into a despondent fist. She felt like someone was. .h.i.tting her heart ruthlessly with a hammer.
She only felt and overwhelming pain and hatred!
Who would do this? Why?!
In the last four years, nothing had ever happened to her grandparents’ graves while she had been abroad. To think they were now splashed with red paint, not too long after she returned.
It must be someone who was against her!
“I came over to take a look in the afternoon as usual. I didn’t expect to see the two tombstones splashed with red paint. I don’t know who came to destroy them either, they were already gone when I arrived. Whoever it is, they are so vicious! How can someone be so terrible!” Auntie He was visibly upset as she wiped away her tears by her side.
Nan Zhi sniffled, forcing back her tears that were threatening to fall. She got a bucket of water before she kneeled on the ground and bit by bit, cleaned away the red paint with a damp cloth.
As she wiped the tombstones, she mumbled softly, “Grandfather, grandmother, I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’m so sorry…”
Those people were too evil. It was fine if they used any means against her. Why did they come and disturb the elderly who had already pa.s.sed on? Why did they need to disturb their peace? The thought of it made Nan Zhi’s heart ache in sorrow.
Auntie He wanted to kneel down and wipe the tombstones with Nan Zhi, however, Nan Zhi only shook her head as she rejected her help.
“Auntie He, I want to stay here alone.”
Auntie He stared at Nan Zhi, who looked thin yet strong, her heart aching for the poor girl. She nodded in understanding before she left with teary eyes.
The pictures on the tombstones had become blurry after they were splashed with red paint. She could not get the pictures to how they were originally, no matter how hard she tried. Nan Zhi’s lips trembled. “It’s Zhizhi’s fault. I can’t even protect grandfather and grandmother’s resting place properly. I’m sorry. I’m really sorry…”
…
After nearly two hours, she finally finished cleaning every spot of the tombstone and graves. However, she had still disturbed the two deceased elderly, no matter how clean she managed to reinstate their tombstones. The damage was already done and could never be reversed.
She was the one who had wronged them.
The sky slowly darkened. Nan Zhi’s eyes hurt as a gust of wind blew into her face.
