Chapter 259: Su Wu's Wish
Chapter 259: Su Wu's Wish
Eighty-year-old Su Wu returned to Wugong Mountain, changed into the brocade python robe he wore when he went to Chang'an, wrapped a new cloth towel on his head and wore a new cotton hat, put on cotton clothes and cotton pants made of new cloth and new cotton, and put on new cotton shoes on his feet, which was warm and neat.
The air in the countryside is still good and clean. He wants to live a peaceful life in his lifetime.
For many days, he used crutches and under the care of Shan Lin to visit the homes of the village, and looked around the surrounding land.
Despite a light snowfall two days ago, the snow quickly melted the next day.
Today the weather is sunny and the sun is shining. Warm after breakfast.
Su Wu looked at the sky, it seemed that the weather would be good in the next few days. He went into the house and said to his wife, who was packing the acupuncture bag, "Meizi, I want to take a bath!"
Mei Ga couldn't help but be a little angry when she heard this: "On this cold day, you don't want to die!"
"Let's make a fire in the house!" Su Wu said non-negotiably.
This old man, when he comes back this time, he has to do whatever he wants. As soon as she came back, she asked for a new cotton shirt and cotton pants to replace the cotton clothes that Chang'an wore back, so she invited a tailor and worked at home for five or six days to make him new cotton clothes, cotton pants, shirts and trousers......
No, when you dress warmly, you will take Shan Lin from house to house...... You can't let him rest for a while.
Mei Ga had no choice but to let Shan Lin make a charcoal fire and bring it into the room, and wait for the house to be as warm as spring and summer. Shan Lin mixed a bucket of hot water in the house and asked Hai'er to help him bathe Lao Tzu.
According to his request, Mei Ga took out another new shirt and pants, a new cotton shirt and cotton pants, and put a new robe on his coat and changed it for him. The son dried his head and let him rest on the kang for a while.
Half a day ago, Su Wu got up and didn't let people follow, saying that he was walking outside the door. Mei Ga saw that his body was fine, so he didn't let anyone follow, and let him go out on crutches.
Su Wu came to the tomb of the Su family on the side of the post road in the west of the village.
Since Mei Ga and his second son Su Haier secretly returned to Han, he was cautious, fearing that the royal families of both sides would learn about this and endanger the safety of the country and his wife and children, so he quietly settled in his father
Su Jian cemetery Wugong Mountain here.
Since there is a family here, when the four o'clock and eight festivals, the father Su Jian cemetery was built on the earth, the cemetery has expanded a lot in recent years, the tombstone is eye-catching, and the ancestral hall of sacrifice has been built in front, and it has gradually become bold here.
He stood in front of his father's tombstone on crutches, and his heart was full of worship, and the past was vivid.
In the autumn and winter of more than 50 years ago, Ren Daijun's father died of illness, and at the age of 25, he and his father's fifteen-year-old follower Su Li carried the coffin back to Chang'an. According to the customs of the Han Dynasty at that time, the corpse coffins of the post stations along the way could not be stopped, and the villages along the way were not allowed.
They had no choice but to trek back with a baggage cavalry of twenty men along the way, without unloading their saddles and horses. More than 3,000 miles in two months. When the sun set that day, when we traveled more than 200 miles away from Chang'an, the axle of the carriage pulling the coffin broke, and the horses were exhausted and unable to move forward.
According to the customs of the Guanzhong people at that time, if the coffin was parked there and could not move forward, it had to be disposed of on the spot. At that time, Su Wu faced this situation, and immediately made a decision, and called the villagers under the slope of the north plateau with money, and let his father's coffin face south on the spot, and stepped on the north hill into the soil for safety.
Later, the imperial court divided his father Su Jian as the Marquis of Wugong, and the hill behind his father's tomb was called Wugong Mountain by everyone.
In the past, when Emperor Wu was in the past, his brother and younger brother died in other places with Emperor Wu's foreign patrol, and they were buried there, and they didn't know the specific place for many years......
Su Wu thought of this, he looked at the terrain of his father's tomb, which was very good. My father pedals to the north facing the sun, and his head is facing the south of Fushou Mountain.
My father was buried here, blessed with the fact that he lived in the Baikal Sea in the extremely cold land for almost 20 years, and finally returned safely despite all the hardships.
Now his children and grandchildren are full of peace. He said to his father, "Daddy, you can rest in peace under the Nine Springs." ”
Su Wu went out until it was almost noon, and he didn't come back. Mei Ga hurriedly went out to look for it, and in the sun, she stood on the high hill not far west of her home, looking around...... When he saw the man standing in front of his father's grave, he hurriedly ran over.
"Brother Su." Mei Ga came over to support him, and said angrily, "You don't come to make me worry if you don't say anything!"
"I'm coming to see the old father. He pointed to the stone bench next to him and said, "Go, sit there and rest." ”
"Let's go home and rest!"
"Sit here quietly!" Su Wu said, "I still want to accompany my old father." ”
"What's wrong with you now?" said Mei Ga, who helped her to sit on the stone bench and sat beside him.
"I'll discuss something with you. He was serious.
Seeing the seriousness on his face, she felt that the matter was serious, and she became serious: "Say it." ”
"I don't have much time to live, and when I die, I'll bury me next to my father. ”
"You're in good shape, how do you say this!" Mei Ga felt uneasy.
"In a hundred years, there will always be death. I should have died when I was forty years old, and now I have lived to be eighty years old, and I have returned my wishes, my family has been fulfilled, my heart has been fulfilled, and I should go!"
Su Wu looked at the white clouds in the sky, and the sun passing through the clouds smiled contentedly: "Hehehehe......
Mei Ga listened to the man's happy laughter: "Look at you happily." Brother Su, take good care of your body this winter, and in the spring of next year, let's go to the clouds to have a look. ”
Ever since her brother returned to Han, she always wanted to find time to go there. As a result, I was busy with this and that all day long. With the current body bones, you must go to see it in the spring.
After a long time, he couldn't hear the man's answer, Mei Ga grabbed his arm and shook it, as if it wasn't right, why was this arm a little inflexible?
She got up and took a closer look, Su Wu closed his eyes and sat upright with a smile on his face.
Mei Ga's hand reached under his nose, and he stopped breathing.
He sat down on the stone bench and stopped breathing.
Mei Ga looked at the man who had lived with her for nearly forty years, and tears rushed down her eyes, and now she finally understood his thoughts.
Brother Su is a very thoughtful person. He knew that the official and the royal family, so the royal feud and the suffering of the family were closely related.
He secretly learned that his life was near, and he insisted on returning here with her a while ago. Before he died, he hid far away from Chang'an and died here quietly, so as not to bury the disaster of human favor for Su Guoer, who was an official......
After Su Wu died, Mei Ga arranged for Su Haier and Shan Lin to accompany her, went to Beipanshan to pick up Su Beier and them back, and arranged for someone to send a letter to Chang'an to ask Su Guoer to arrange the affairs of Chang'an's family and come back.
She didn't want to alarm the court, so she called back her children and grandchildren to see off Brother Su.
Something:
Su Wu's last wish was quietly carried out in the Northland.
Under the command of Wu Dehan and the support of several relatives and friends of Li Yuxing and his return to Han, the young men of Jiankun in Hara and Lin gradually moved towards the Great Han Dynasty County and the Yunzhong border......
In Jiankundi, Liu Yongyi and Wu Sheng, the older generation, spent their years of savings to protect the lives of their younger generations and live a stable life, and taught the generations not to
Forget that you are a Han and work for the unification of the Han Dynasty.
