It was getting late now, but Luo Kedi was still nowhere to be seen.
Han Qin said: "Uncle Luo drank so much last night, and I think he is still resting now. He took care of me a lot along the way, and he always couldn't eat or sleep well. I finally had some leisure today, so I thought about letting him I slept a little longer and didn’t call him.”
Zhang Ren estimated the time and found it was close to noon, so he said, "It's almost noon. Even if Master Luo still wants to sleep, he still has to eat. I'd better go up and call him. I'll make some water for him by the way." Serve me a pot of sobering tea."
Han Qin smiled sweetly from the side: "Zhang Ren, go ahead and wake up Uncle Luo. I'll make some sobering tea and serve it to him right away."
Zhang Ren nodded and agreed. He walked upstairs and came to Luo Kedi's house. He had closed the door yesterday. He pushed the door in and saw that Luo Kedi was still lying on the bed, and the corners of his mouth were still there. Upturned, looking quite happy.
"Is this a sweet dream?" Zhang Ren murmured softly, walked to the bed, and called out: "Master Luo, it's getting late, you should get up and eat something."
There was no change in Luo Kedi on the bed.
Zhang Ren couldn't help but raise his voice a bit, "Master Luo, it's time to get up and eat."
Luo Kedi still didn't respond.
Zhang Ren had a bad premonition for no reason. He observed carefully and found that Luo Kedi's chest did not rise at all.
He felt Luo Kedi's pulse again and probed Luo Kedi's breathing, but there was none.
The legend of the Ming Cult back then died silently in his dream.
Luo Ke was once a tough opponent, but he ended up living a life he didn't like. Every day he spent in Jinling City was extremely painful, and his years of drinking had made his body overwhelmed.
Luo Kedi has already felt the changes in his body these days. With his strong internal strength, he took Han Qin to Dongchang.
His heart relaxed and it was time to leave.
What Luo Kedi said to Zhang Ren yesterday were his last words.
He had no children in his life, but he loved Han Qin as his biological daughter, even more than that. When Han Qin came to Zhang Ren's side, what else could he not let go of?
Now sleeping forever in a beautiful dream seems to be a good result for Luo Kedi. At least he has not been tortured by the illness, nor has he lost his dignity because of the illness.
Zhang Ren just stood at the bedside, not knowing what to do.
"Zhang Ren, I've made the sobering tea, why haven't you called Uncle Luo yet?"
Han Qin entered the room with sobering tea and kept saying this.
Zhang Ren turned around, silently shook his head towards Han Qin, and said, "Master Luo, I can't wake up."
Han Qin didn't react for a moment. She tilted her head and asked, "What did you say?"
Zhang Ren naturally knew about the father-daughter relationship between Luo Kedi and Han Qin. Even if Han Qin couldn't accept it, Han Qin still had to tell Han Qin the news of Master Luo's death.
Zhang Ren took a deep breath, shook his head again, and said, "I said Master Luo can't wake up. He has passed away."
Han Qin smiled and said, "Zhang Ren, it's noon, are you kidding me?"
Zhang Ren had a solemn look on his face, "Life and death are important matters. I won't make fun of such things."
Han Qin's smile was fixed on her face. She blinked unnaturally, her expression looking extremely unnatural, "Zhang Ren, can you say it again?"
She hoped that what Zhang Ren said just now was all false, just a joke, or maybe there was something wrong with her ears.
But Zhang Ren will definitely disappoint her this time.
Zhang Ren shook his head slightly and said again: "Master Luo is gone and passed away."
For Han Qin, this news was like a bolt from the blue.
She lost her parents when she was a child, but her childhood was still happy. This was mainly due to Zhu Yuanzhang's love for her and Luo Ke's silent protection of her.
Although she likes to bully those noble children, there is nothing in her heart.
How malicious.
To sum up, it is youth and ignorance coupled with the pampering of Zhu Yuanzhang and Luo Kedi that made him like this.
As the noble children she bullied died one by one, Han Qin really began to fear life and death, and her originally flamboyant temperament also calmed down a lot.
Later, Zhu Yuanzhang passed away, and Han Qin was even more sad for a long time.
Her life seemed to have been planned by Zhu Yuanzhang, and she was the most noble head of Le'an County in the Ming Dynasty, and her dignity was far higher than that of the other princes.
As long as Han Qin holds the title of Le'an County Lord, her life will be worry-free.
Now that her favorite Luo Kedi has left, and the two people who helped her plan her life are no longer there, how will she face the rest of her life?
She was really confused and didn't know how to proceed.
And once Luo Kedi is gone, she really has no family members anymore.
Her hands could no longer hold the teapot steady. The hot tea slipped and the teapot turned into pieces.
The hot tea burned her hand, but how could she care about the pain in her fingers at this moment?
She staggered to Luo Kedi's bedside, threw herself into Luo Kedi's arms and started crying loudly.
Zhu Yunwen's room was next door. When he heard the noise, he came over and scratched his head and asked, "What happened? Brother Ren, did you bully sister Qin'er?"
Zhang Ren shook his head slightly and said, "Master Luo is no longer here."
After all, Zhu Yunwen was a person who had experienced strong winds and waves. He had faced life and death himself, so he took these very lightly.
He looked at Han Qin who was crying bitterly. He didn't know how to coax a girl. This was normal. After all, he was once an emperor, so why did he need to coax a woman? It was the woman who should coax him.
Since he was not good at it, Zhu Yunwen gave up his plan to comfort Han Qin.
He just nodded slightly towards Zhang Ren and said, "Choose a good place to bury him."
Zhang Ren pointed in the direction of the backyard of the Full Moon Inn and said, "The Man with Thousand Faces is buried in the backyard, and Master Luo should be buried there as well."
Zhu Yunwen nodded, agreeing with Zhang Ren's choice, "It's okay, I can be a companion this way, so I won't be too lonely. I will ask all the guests to go out. The dead are the most important. These days Our Full Moon Inn will no longer do business."
Zhu Yunwen stepped forward and stretched out his hand directly towards Zhang Ren.
Zhang Ren was puzzled and asked quickly: "What is this for?"
Zhu Yunwen replied: "We are open for business, but now we have to invite all the customers out. It is inevitable that we have to give them some compensation. But I don't have the money. Besides, you are the owner of this inn, so the money should be paid." It's up to you to come out."
This was so reasonable that Zhang Ren could not refute it at all. Luo Kedi was his master, and it was his responsibility to pay for the money due to emotion and reason.
And when it comes to this kind of thing, Zhang Ren is not a petty person. Anyway, all the money he has comes from the Zhang family pit, so he doesn't feel bad about spending it.
Zhang Ren directly stuffed all the banknotes he had into Zhu Yunwen's hands.
Zhu Yunwen went out quickly.
Han Qin was also sad and sad. She felt uncomfortable in her heart. She wanted to find someone to rely on. She turned around and threw herself into Zhang Ren's arms. Her nose and tears were all smeared on Zhang Ren's clothes.
How could Zhang Ren care about this now? He hesitated for a moment, then gently patted Han Qin's back a few times with both hands, and said: "Master Luo left with a smile. He didn't have any pain, but if you are too sad now, his spirit in heaven will definitely not You will be happy."
Han Qin looked at Luo Kedi with tears in his eyes, and sure enough he saw the corners of his mouth turning up.
But Han Qin still couldn't suppress the sadness in her heart, and said softly: "But, Uncle Luo is gone, and I don't have any relatives left."
Zhang Ren shook his head, "It's not me, but also Yunwen. We are all your relatives."
After listening to Zhang Ren's words, Han Qin seemed to have found support and cried in Zhang Ren's arms again.
Zhu Yunwen quickly invited all the customers out, but most of the customers were unhappy, but for the sake of their banknotes,
They all cursed and left.
Zhu Yunwen ordered a good coffin from a coffin shop. He paid for it at noon and it was delivered in the afternoon.
As a disciple, Zhang Ren put Luo Kedi's body into a coffin.
They didn't ask for help and did everything themselves, because Zhang Ren knew that Luo Kedi didn't like things that were too complicated.
Death is like a light going out. It is hard to say whether there is a soul in this world, but for things like funerals, what matters is the heart, not how much money is spent.
Luo Kedi's body lay dormant in the Full Moon Inn for three days.
Early on the fourth day, Zhang Ren buried Luo Kedi's official officer next to the Thousand-faced Man.
As the shovelfuls of soil covered it, Han Qin cried even more heartbreakingly.
Zhang Ren finally prepared a tombstone for Luo Kedi, but considering that Luo Kedi was a Jinyiwei and was a high-ranking official in the Mingjiao before, he probably made quite a few enemies.
When Luo Kedi was alive, those enemies would be afraid of his force and would be like a turtle. But now that Luo Kedi is gone, there is no guarantee that these enemies will not dig him out and whip his body.
In order to allow Luo Kedi to live a quieter life after his death, Zhang Ren thought about it and did not leave Luo Kedi's name on Luo Kedi's tombstone.
Only the four characters "Master's Tomb" were written on it, and "Zhang Renjingli" was written in the lower corner.
The funeral had reached this stage, and it was almost over, but at this moment, a man wearing a bamboo hat broke into the backyard of the Full Moon Inn.
Although Luo Kedi was buried, Zhang Ren had no plans to open the inn as soon as possible. He hoped that Han Qin could wait for a few days.
Zhang Ren was naturally very unhappy when someone came in directly, but running an inn was considered a service industry, so Zhang Ren could only frown and said patiently: "I'm sorry for this distinguished guest, our Full Moon Inn is not doing business today. "
Unexpectedly, the visitor actually pulled off his bamboo hat and asked in a charming voice: "What? Fifth senior brother, don't you even want to do my business?"
With Zhang Ren calling him Fifth Senior Brother, and having such a nice voice, who else could it be besides Tong Yi?
