At this moment, the ginseng soup was ready. When the young man reminded him, Su Ziji hurriedly brought it over. When the young man carefully brought the bowl of ginseng soup over, Su Ziji took a spoonful of it with his own hands.
, carefully handed it to Shao Sisen’s mouth.
Shao Sisen had difficulty even sitting up, and his hands were even weaker. It was impossible for him to drink the ginseng soup by himself.
Shao Sisen's eyes were a little red, and he said weakly: "I... I can do it myself."
The wild Taoist suddenly said: "I have experience in giving medicine to patients, so let me do it."
With that said, he took the medicine bowl from Su Ziji and fed it to Shao Sisen.
During the time on the ship, Shao Sisen had already guessed that Lu Fengyun was Su Ziji's friend, no, it should be said that he was a retainer. Under such circumstances, he could no longer refuse.
He smiled bitterly and drank all the ginseng soup.
After finishing all the drinks, Shao Sisen looked much better visible to the naked eye.
He was silent for a long time, and then sighed with melancholy: "I didn't expect that I would end up like this. I had a lot to say just now, but I couldn't say it. I can only say that I failed my parents and my engaged Miss Gu..."<
/p>
"Please help me prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone. I, ahem, I want to write a letter of termination of the contract. I am already like this. I must not drag her down. She is a good woman..."
"Ahem, please help me and record some words for me. I'm afraid... I'm afraid I won't be able to tell my family some of the words... I'm asking you... I'm asking you to write this down to my family when the time comes.
Leave it to them..."
"Don't worry, speak slowly, we all remember it!" Jian Qu actually brought these things with him when he came in, and he just needed them at this time, and at the same time he did not forget to comfort them.
This series of actions was very skillful. Su Ziji took a look at it and thought that when Jian Qu was in the army, he often came into contact with dying soldiers and recorded their last words. He was indeed very good at it.
Looking at Shao Sisen again, Su Ziji promised: "Don't worry, whether it's the termination letter or what you want to say to your family, we will record it and we will not let you down."
"I believe in you, Su Xiandi, you, you are a person who will do whatever you sincerely promise, I believe in you..."
"Please tell my father, the child is unfilial. Not only did he fail to bring back glory during this trip to the southwest, but he also died on the way home. I want them to... ahem, I want them to be white-haired and black-haired. It's me.
If you are not filial, if there is an afterlife, I will definitely be their son again and fulfill my filial piety in front of them."
"Please tell my mother that I... ahem, my marriage to Miss Gu is invalid. It's me, ahem, I can't help her. I ask my mother to break off the engagement and not to drag down Miss Gu..." "Please tell my brother, my brother, after I leave, they will be the only ones left. The burden of being filial to their parents can only be carried by them. They must take care of themselves and meet me underground again a hundred years later..."<
/p>
"Now, please, please help me write a letter of termination of the contract. Gu, Miss Gu is the daughter of Bachelor Gu, her maiden name is Huiyao... Just say, I can't help her, I am not a match for her, I wish her,
Ahem, I hope she can find a good match again... a long life, a long life together..."
"Okay, I'll write it right now." Jian Qu saw him coughing again and felt a little worried, so he hurriedly said.
With her identity as a woman and her maiden name, the contract termination letter was written very easily. Su Ziji didn't even need to write. It was overkill to write this with Jian Qu's talent.
Moreover, as a staff member, Jian Qu is obviously very good at recording conversations. After writing the contract termination, although the content of the record has been modified and the writing is not small, the core is almost word for word.
I showed it to Shao Sisen, and Shao Sisen's heart slowly relaxed.
As soon as his heart was relieved, the wild Taoist could clearly see that the deathly aura on Shao Sisen's face was getting stronger.
Asking someone to take the paper away, Shao Sisen gasped again and said slowly: "I am about to die before I want to understand one thing. Su Xiandi, you, ahem, do you hate Lord Shangshu?"
"These days, even I am occasionally helped to visit Lord Shangshu, but you have never been there once. Ahem... Do you really...really hate Lord Shangshu?"
"But Lord Shangshu has no choice. If you go and pay a visit, the relationship will be harmonious again. One more friend is better than one more enemy..."
"After all, Lord Shangshu is an important minister of the country."
This is really a person who is about to die, and his words are particularly good. But after he finished speaking, Su Ziji was silent.
Shao Sisen knew that Su Ziji must have his own ideas and would not listen to his advice.
He smiled bitterly: "Forget it, let's not mention this anymore. Su Xiandi, you... ahem, can you write a poem? Along with the letter, it can be considered, ahem, that you and I get to know each other and remember each other.
”
"It's not appropriate to write a poem about a beauty. If it makes Miss Gu moved and refuses to terminate the contract on impulse, which will make her miserable for the rest of her life, just write a farewell poem." Su Ziji sighed.
I picked up my pen and added a poem to the letter.
"Following you for a thousand days will eventually leave you, leaving you with clear dreams. The red sun is shining day and night, the gurgling water is flowing. The world is intoxicating, and you are chatting with me."
Seeing that Shao Sisen looked groggy, Su Ziji asked him to press his fingerprints and make a signature, and then read the poem aloud.
By the time he finished reading, the room was completely silent, and Shao Sisen was half leaning on the soft pillow, his hands already hanging down, with a faint smile on his face.
We went there directly.
"There is no breath anymore." Jian Qu gently stretched out his hand to test and sighed.
"After sealing this book, we will send it directly to Shao Mansion when we return to the capital." Su Ziji said to the wild Taoist.
At this moment, he was in a very bad mood, unwilling to stay in this cabin full of medicinal smell, and hurried out.
After a while, the wild Taoist also followed.
It was February now, although it was still cold, but it was already the beginning of spring. Su Ziji stood on the bow of the boat, looking at the sea without saying a word. The Taoist was behind him. After a long time, he asked: "Master, are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Su Ziji turned around, nodded thoughtfully, and said, "It's not actually uncomfortable, it's just a pity."
"Brother Shao and I had misunderstandings and estrangement before, but we gradually became harmonious. I originally thought we would have one more friend and one more confidant, but we gradually became close to each other. But I didn't expect this opportunity."
"We have not yet made a heart-to-heart friendship. It is rare that he persuaded me to reconcile before he died. This is for my own good. Although I don't accept it, it's not that I don't understand people's hearts."
"I'm just sorry that in less than ten days' journey, I can reach the capital to see my family, but he can't hold on anymore."
"Moreover, if you die in the southwest, you can still be buried, but at sea, I am not sure how the imperial envoy will dispose of the body."
According to the rules of sailing at sea, if someone dies of illness during the voyage, the body cannot be carried on for fear of fouling the ship and spreading the disease.
But just throwing it into the sea is not appropriate, and it is not in line with my feelings.
The wild Taoist advised: "These are not young masters. You can make the decision. Thinking too much about them will only increase your troubles."
"You're right." Su Ziji nodded, pondering hard. At this time, the doctor who left had already brought a few soldiers over and was carrying a wooden board.
