Chapter Twenty-Five: The Second Master

The drizzle is like silk, and the wisps of sorrow fall endlessly.

When he rushed to the second uncle's Dongyuan residence, Runzhi's mind appeared with the second uncle's voice and smile, and he remembered a large apple that the second uncle handed him when he first saw him.

"Runzhi, where are you, come and save me, come and save me! Where are you? Come on... ”

It seemed that from somewhere there were several cries for help from the second master, which was a very urgent sound, like a drowning person desperately calling for help, and then sinking into the water again.

Runzhi quickly stopped and carefully observed the surroundings.

The willow leaves fluttered softly in the breeze, and some of the finely shredded pieces of paper on the ground were rolled up from the wind and then scattered again in the air.

"Second Master, I'm here, your most distressed disciple! Runzhi is coming soon, you must hold on! ”

Runzhi seemed to be talking to the second master on the phone in his heart.

"Runzhi, if I can't do it, you have to take care of yourself, and for the rest of your life, it's up to you!"

"No, Second Master, you must hold on, you will definitely be fine, you will definitely be fine!"

"No, child, people will always die, it's just a matter of time, I'm not here, you have to remember to take care of yourself! Eat and sleep on time every day, oh, by the way, you have to find me a beautiful daughter-in-law to start a family, but the second uncle can't help you! ”

"No, I don't want you to die, Second Master, no matter what, you have to give me a life!"

"Child, the second uncle is very uncomfortable now, people will always leave, forgive the second uncle for not being able to continue to take care of you!"

Runzhi was also surprised, and the voice of the second master suddenly appeared in his heart.

"Child, you... You, you, can you call me a ······ in person? ”

This voice suddenly appeared in Runzhi's mind, like a lightning bolt suddenly appeared in the sky, but Runzhi didn't hear the second half of the sentence again.

The second master likes seclusion, likes to be accompanied by mountains and rivers, and since he is old, he likes to plant trees for fun. In this way, the garden in the East Garden has been transformed into a small forest by the second master.

In the more than a year that Runzhi has left Qingtianguan, the second master has lost a wonderful close person, so he planted dozens of trees every day more than usual.

"Second Master!"

When Runzhi appeared in front of the second uncle's residence, the second uncle he loved the most in his heart had already been carried out.

Covered with white cloth, the white silk that was treasured in the room of the second master and was once used to learn and practice calligraphy for Runzhi.

This silk, the second master has always been reluctant to use it, never thought that when it was fully used, it would be used to cover his own corpse.

The second wife cried very violently in the crowd, crying harder than anyone else, it was the kind of heart-rending kind, that kind of pain was like appealing to the world, and she would rather die by herself than her husband leave!

People patted the second mother's shoulder, or repeatedly persuaded the second mother's mother to mourn and change, "People have driven the crane west, crying is useless, and it will even damage the body!" Mourning and change, there has been a death since ancient times! ”

The second master has always been a very kind woman, and she has never done anything lacking in virtue, that is, she usually slaughters chickens, ducks, pigs and dogs, and she also likes to win far away, she never thought that such an unfortunate thing would happen to the kindest second master, Runzhi couldn't help but think about it.

Runzhi rushed forward, "I want to check to see if the second master is dead, I believe that the second master who has always been benevolent will not die like this!" ”

The disciple carrying the coffin saw that it was his senior brother who had returned, and it seemed that all of a sudden they all had a backbone, and all of them stopped temporarily.

"Uncle Master, you'll be fine!" , Runzhi touched the second uncle's hand, and immediately retracted like an electric shock.

At this time, the second master's hands were completely cold, his face was as pale as if covered with a layer of frost, and his whole body was terrifyingly stiff, this body was so familiar and so unfamiliar.

For the first time, Runzhi was so close to death.

Although when he was by Tian Wenjing's side, he always helped Tian Wenjing in the military to give advice and suggestions, often a seemingly small carving insect skill can kill hundreds of thousands of enemies, which is also one of the reasons why Runzhi is so trusted by Tian Wenjing.

But if you are really a person who is close to death, you still have a kind of fear in your heart.

Runzhi knew very well that his second uncle, Chen Dai, liked to exercise and was in good health, and such an unexpected death was incredible.

Without hesitation, Runzhi gently lifted the skin of the second uncle's abdomen, and found no obvious traces of the fight.

At this moment, Runzhi's heart is empty, it is the feeling of watching his relatives leave him, but he can't do anything.

Runzhi didn't want to say anything for a moment, there was a buzzing sound in his head, and the memories of the good times when the second master and uncle got along with him flashed in his head like a movie.

Runzhi couldn't hold back any longer, and he didn't need to hide anything anymore, he walked straight to the corner of the wall on the side, and finally hugged his head and cried!

The disciples saw Runzhi crying so sadly, and they were infected by Runzhi, and they also cried without scruples.

"My master, why did you leave us behind?"

"My father, Xian'er doesn't want you to die, Xian'er wants you to live, my father!"

Everyone cried together,

Runzhi buried his head in his arms, sat on a nearby uneven marble, and cried!

From birth to now, this is the first time that Yunchi has cried so loudly!

A big boy cried so sadly that the other relatives of the second uncle comforted Runzhi in turn.

"By the way, I believe that my father will become a star in the sky after his death, and whenever the weather is good, he will come out to greet us, but he is in the sky, and we can no longer hear what he says!"

"Yes, the second master will protect us in heaven at all times!"

Xian'er seemed to be comforting Runzhi, and Runzhi naturally accepted this kindness.

Runzhi controlled his emotions, he gently walked to the second master's side and gently patted his wife's shoulder.

"Second Master, by the way, if the Second Master is alive, he will definitely not want to see you so sad!"

Runzhi's words played a role, and the second mother's crying voice began to become a little quieter.

"Who's in charge here?"

A group of local farmers who had been invited to dig the grave for the second master, and a group of monks who claimed to have been invited by the second master's mother to do things for the second master, arrived in turn.

"I'm in charge! I'm in charge of it all! Seeing that most of the relatives of the second master and uncle were women and underage children, considering that in this kind of funeral, a man still needs to preside over it, so he hurriedly stepped forward to agree.

"Fifty taels of funeral silver"

"Sixty taels of deeds"

The person who came offered to Runzhi made an offer, and Runzhi took out two pieces of gold from his pocket and stuffed them into the heads of the two teams respectively.

"No need to look for it!" Runzhi said lightly.

Immediately, the two groups looked at each other, and then hurriedly lay on the ground and kowtowed to thank each other.

The second uncle's own daughter, Xian'er, stared at Runzhi with an infinite admiration at the moment, with a trace of crystal tears hanging from the corner of her eye, looking so charming and cute, dexterous and moving, which made people feel excited.

Runzhi devoted himself to all the funeral matters of the second uncle, and according to the tradition of the Mohist school, he buried the second uncle who loved him the most in the most concise and efficient manner.
