Chen Caozhi stayed awake all night, his friends Gu Kaizhi and Xu Miao sat with him outside the bedroom, Zong Zhi and Run'er refused to sleep, stood in front of their grandmother's bed in a daze, looking at their half-asleep grandmother, these two children were so frightened that their hands and feet were cold, and they vaguely remembered the vague impression of their father Chen Qingzhi when he died.

Chen Caozhi asked Xiaochan and Qingzhi to take Zongzhi and Run'er upstairs to rest, but Zongzhi and Run'er broke away and refused to go, guarding their grandmother, hoping that their grandmother would get better soon.

Chen Caozhi covered his nephew and niece's little hands in his palms and warmed them, and said, "There is an ugly uncle here, don't worry too much, you two should get up early tomorrow as usual, don't sleep lazy, be obedient." ”

Uncle Ugly's hand was warm and powerful, the two children looked at Uncle Ugly's eyes, Uncle Ugly's eyes were calm and gentle, the little brother and sister looked at each other again, nodded together, and obediently followed Xiaochan and Qingzhi upstairs.

When the senior year was uglier, he came to Germany and said, "Xiao Langjun, the ox cart is ready, let's go out." ”

Qian Tang didn't have any doctors, and the Qin doctor who led the Shaofu Supervisor was just a witch doctor, and his medical skills were not much better than Chen Caozhi's, Chen Caozhi had no other way, but according to what the fourth uncle said, he went to ask Du Zigong to write green words and apply Fu water for his mother to see if he could alleviate his mother's condition, but the manpower medicine stone could not be done, and praying to the ghosts and gods was the only choice, after all, Du Zigong was famous, and many intractable diseases were cured by him, and the mystical Taoist was unpredictable.

Gu Kaizhi said: "Zizhong, you protect Chen's mother, I will invite Du Zigong on your behalf, I met Du Zigong in Jiankang in the spring of this year." ”

Chen Caozhi said: "Then there is Lao Changkang." ”

Gu Kaizhi took two departments, drove to Qiantang County from Laide, and arrived at Du Zigong's mansion just in time.

Du Gong had just gotten up, and when he heard that Gu Kaizhi of Jinling asked to see him, he hurriedly washed up and went out to greet Kai, and when he saw Du Zigong, he was deeply moved, and said that he came on behalf of Chen Caozhi to invite Du Shi to pray for Chen's mother Li to pray for the disaster, and asked Du Shi to leave for Chenjiawu immediately.

Du Zigong said, "Please wait a minute." When I go to worship the three officials, the emperor will go with you. ”

Gu Zhi sat in the hall and waited. It took half an hour to see Du Zigong come out. He brought seven or eight followers. There are three ox carts. Follow Gu Kaizhi to Chenjiawu. It was nearly noon when we arrived at Chenjiawu.

Chen Caozhi saw Du Zigong coming. I am sincerely grateful to the people of the Chen clan in Jiawu for hearing that Du Zigong is here. Come and see you. He was more respectful and pious than when Ge Hong came here. It can be seen that Du Zigong has influence in Qiantang and even Jiangzuo.

Chen's mother Li saw Du Dao coming and wanted to sit up. Xiaochan hurriedly helped her from behind and cushioned her with a soft pillow.

Du Zigong asked: "Does the Chen family in the West Building still have a Crane Ming Hall?" ”

Chen's mother Li said: "Yu Du Dao." The Crane Hall is on the third floor. The old woman recites "Lao Tzu's Five Thousand Texts" every day. Eighteen years without a break" said this. Gasped twice. He also said: "Today, I am seriously ill and have not yet gone to worship in front of the Sanguan Emperor. ”

Du Zigong said: "Today, I will visit the shrine on my behalf, but the Chen Men Li family should first repent of the gains and losses in his life, and he must not conceal the sample Tao to write green words to play the heavenly court, and ask the emperor of heaven to bless, the emperor of the earth to release his sins, and the emperor of the water official to eliminate disasters and solve misfortunes."

Chen Caozhi doesn't believe in these, but he believes that he can't disobey his mother's wishes, his mother is kind all her life, and there should be nothing to repent.

Du Zigong ordered everyone else to retreat to the corridor, and even Xiaochan, who was supporting the old housewife on the bed, had to go out, and only Du Zigong and Chen's mother Li were left in the room.

Du Zigong knelt down dangerously and asked slowly: "Chenmen Li family, what gains and losses and debts are in your heart, tell me one by one." ”

Chen's mother Li thought for a while, shook her head and said, "The old woman has nothing bad in her life. ”

Du Zigong said: "Think again." ”

Chen's mother, Li, thought for a while and said: "Because the young son is weak and sick, the old woman promised him a longevity lamp in Lingyin Temple eleven years ago. ”

Du Zigong was silent for a while, then nodded: "Please relax, I will make a case for you, and the emperor will forgive your sins." Get up and go out, let Chen Caozhi accompany him to the Heming Hall, and write a piece of music in the Heming Hall with a cinnabar pen and green rattan paper, and then Yu Bu fought the sword, opened his mouth and spit fire, and burned the chapter held on the sword pill into ashes, even if it was up to heaven to listen.

Gu Kaizhi, Liu Shangzhi and others who were standing on the side were amazed, and they admired Du Dao's mystical Taoism, but Chen Caozhi was not surprised and respected.

After the seal was congratulated, Du Zigong knelt in front of the statue of the Emperor of the Water Official and prayed silently for a long time, and then wrote a talisman on a small piece of yellow paper, took half a bowl of water, burned the talisman, paper ash and Yu Qingshui, and ordered Xiaoduan to go to Chen's mother Li to serve, and once again retreated from everyone, leaving only Chen Caozhi, and said: "Chen Caozhi, your mother's time has come, and you have repented, but it is just to calm your heart, and you should prepare early." ”

……

Gu Kaizhi and Xu Miao agreed to postpone their return to their hometowns, accompany Chen Caozhi in Chenjiawu for a few more days, and then set off when Chen's mother is better.

Isn't the so-called friend a friend who firmly accompanies a friend when he is in trouble and needs help?

Chen Caozhi slept and ate, and stayed in front of his mother's bed day and night, serving his mother's daily life, hoping that his mother would get better and go downstairs for a walk outside the fort.

Chen's mother, Li, was in a clear mind, but she was very weak, and she was out of breath after walking a few steps, so she had to stay in bed.

On the seventh night of the first day of October, Chen Caozhi still knelt in front of his mother's bed and sat with him, and Chen's mother Li said: "Ugly, you go outside to sleep for a while, your mother's body is fine." ”

Chen Caozhi said: "I took a nap during the day, and now I am not sleepy." ”

Chen's mother Li said: "Go to sleep, otherwise my mother doesn't like it, don't worry about your mother's health and you fall ill." ”

Xiaochan said: "Xiao Langjun go to sleep, I'm here to accompany the old housewife." ”

Chen Caozhi went to lie on the low couch outside and stayed up for a few nights in a row, and he was indeed very tired, and he fell asleep after a while.

Chen's mother Li in the middle said: "Xiaochan, are the six ugly asleep?" ”

Xiaochan tiptoed to the outer room, the lamp on the small case was still bright and red, and the Xiaolangjun on the low couch was lying on his side, frowning slightly in his sleep, and his fair and handsome face was slightly haggard

Xiaochan gently tucked the corners of the quilt for Cao Zhi, looked at Chen Caozhi twice, walked into the inner room, and said softly: "Xiao Langjun slept soundly, and there was a slight snoring." ”

Chen's mother Li was happy and said: "Let's sleep well, the six ugly haven't slept a good night's sleep these days, and you have worked hard, people always have to drag others down when they get old." ”

Xiaochan hurriedly said: "Don't say that, what a drag, we are all willing to serve your old man, and I hope that the old housewife will get better as soon as possible." ”

Chen's mother Li asked again: "Zong Zhi and Rundu are sleeping well?" ”

Xiao replied: "Xiao waited for Zongzhi and Run'er to fall asleep before coming down, and Qingzhi took care of his mother. ”

Chen's mother Li's "um" sound, closed her eyes and recuperated, heard the cold wind outside the house, and opened her eyes again and said: "Xiaochan, put this lamb fur on, don't freeze." ”

Xiaochan said: "This old master's lamb Qiu." ”

Chen's mother Li said: "Put it on, it's cold and heavy at night, and the old woman really wants someone to guard it, but I don't know when I went." ”

Xiaochan didn't understand at first, and asked, "Where is the old housewife going?" As soon as the words came out, he understood that he was covered in cold hair, and his tongue was not good, and he called: "Old master"

Chen's mother, Li, smiled and said: "Xiaochan, you all know the accumulation of cangs, as well as the books and field books are all managed by you, you know better than the six ugly Chen's family background in the West Building, before the six ugly marry a wife, you have to help the six ugly take care of this family." ”

"The old master is explaining what will happen to you!" Although Xiaochan was wearing a lamb's fur, she also felt cold and didn't know how to answer.

At this moment, Chen's mother Li on the four-screen big bed suddenly trembled, Xiaochan quickly got up to look, and asked urgently: "Do you want to call Xiaolangjun to get up?" ”

Chen's mother Li shook her head, her body trembled for a while, and then slowly calmed down, breathed a sigh of relief, and said intermittently: "It's so dangerous, almost, I just fell asleep before I got through the six ugly, don't wake him up." ”

Xiaochan's eyes flowed silently on her cheeks, and she lowered her head and wiped secretly, not daring to let the old housewife see it.

Chen's mother Li said: "The old woman still has a future, and she hasn't explained it, so she has to survive this night." ”

Chen Caozhi, who was sleeping outside, woke up suddenly, turned over and got out of the bed, walked in and asked, "Mother, are you okay?" ”

Chen's mother Li said: "It's okay, why did the ugly child wake up!" ”

Chen Caozhi said: "My son has slept enough, and my son has slept soundly, so it will be enough for a while." Said to Xiaodao: "Sister Xiaochan go to sleep for a while, just sleep on the low couch outside, it's still warm." ”

If it was before, Xiaochan would be very happy and would be very happy to feel the warmth of Xiaolangjun, but now she doesn't think about it and says, "I slept before, and now I'm not sleepy at all." ”

The two of them sat side by side on the eaves of the four-screen bed, waiting until dawn.

This day is the eighth day of the first month of October, the day of the ugly, Chen's mother Li asked Yinggu to help her wash her face and comb her hair, and then ordered Xiao to tell Laifu to invite the patriarch Chen Xian and the fourth uncle Chen Man, as well as the heir of Chen Mo in the East Building, Zhou, this is the head of the family on the east, south and north floors, and Chen's mother Li wants to make a last word.

Chen Caozhi was speechless and burst into tears, listening to his mother explain to two uncles and a mother that once she died, she should not be buried thickly, and all the gold and jade things would not be sent

Chen Xian said: "The seventh brother-in-law is admittedly accessible, and the first dynasty and this dynasty both advocate the style of thin burial, but the seventh brother-in-law is still in good spirits, and there is no need to make a last word early, so that she can recuperate. ”

Chen Man and Zhou both comforted Chen's mother, Li Shi, not to think too much, a good life will take care of the body, and it will get better.

In the afternoon of this day, the sun is warm, October Xiaoyangchun, Chen's mother Li said that she wanted to bask in the sun, Chen Caozhi moved a leaning bed to the terrace on the third floor, and put on a mattress, this kind of leaning bed is similar to a chair, with a backrest and no armrests, Chen Caozhi picked up his mother and went up to the third floor, let his mother sit on the bed, Xiaochan and Yinggu supported one left and one right.

Chen's mother Li squinted her eyes and looked at the warm sun in the west, and smiled kindly: "The weather is so good. ”

Gu Kaizhi, Xu Miao, and Liu Shangzhi all came to the terrace to talk to Chen's mother Li, Chen's mother Li was in a happy mood, and said to Chen Caozhi: "Ugly, play a tune to your mother, you have forgotten to play the tune these days." ”

After his mother was seriously ill in the winter, Chen Caozhi was worried about his mother's illness, and he forgot to play the recorder for his mother every night, so he hurriedly smiled: "As long as the mother likes to listen, the son can play it at any time, and it is good to play a song for his mother every morning and evening in the future?" ”

Chen's mother Li said: "Okay, my mother likes to listen to those two tunes the most, Zongzhi and Run'er, call them to listen together." ”

Zongzhi and Run'er came, snuggling up to their grandmother.

Chen Caozhi took the Keting flute and played "Remembering the Old Man" and "Qinglian Song" for his mother under the warm winter sun.

Chen's mother Li listened with a smile, her heart was calm and peaceful, and she slowly closed her eyes.
