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 just do it myself."
The wild Taoist suddenly said: "I have experience in giving medicine to patients, let me do it."
With that said, he took the medicine bowl from Su Ziji's hand 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 all the drinks were finished, Shao Sisen looked much better, visible to the naked eye.
He was silent for a long time, and then sighed sadly: "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..."
"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!" In fact, Jian Qu already brought these things with him when he came in. It was just in time to use them, and he did not forget to comfort them at the same time.
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 contract 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 lost his life on the way home. I want them... 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, I... ahem, my marriage with Miss Gu is invalid. It's me, ahem, I can't bear to do it to her. Please let my mother break off the engagement and don't drag down Miss Gu..."
"Please tell my brother, my brother, that when 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 reunite with me underground a hundred years later..."
"Now, please, please help me write a letter of termination. Gu, Miss Gu is the daughter of Bachelor Gu, her maiden name is Huiyao... I just said that I can't help her and I am not a match for her. I wish her, Ahem, I hope she can find a good match again...the white head, the white head will never be separated..."
"Okay, I'll write it now." Jian Qu saw him coughing again and felt a little worried as he hurriedly said.
With the woman's identity and maiden name, the contract termination letter was written very easily, and Su Ziji didn't even need to write. Jian Qu's talent in writing this was overkill.
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.
After showing it to Shao Sisen, 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 at a glance.
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 have occasionally been 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..."
"Master Shangshu is an important minister of the country after all."
This is really a person who is about to die, and his words are particularly good. But after he finished speaking while gasping for breath, Su Ziji fell 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 it anymore. Su Xiandi, you... ahem, can you write a poem? Along with the letter, it can be regarded as, ahem, 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 suffer 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 behind you a clear dream with you. The red sun is shining day and night, the gurgling water is flowing. I am intoxicated by the mortal world, and I am chatting with you."
Seeing that Shao Sisen looked groggy, Su Ziji asked him to press his fingerprints and make a mark, 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.
He went directly like that.
"There is no breath left." Jian Qu stretched out his hand gently to test it and sighed.
"Seal this book and send it directly to Shao Mansion when you return to the capital." Su Ziji said to the wild Taoist.
At this moment, he was in a 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 spring had already begun. Su Ziji stood on the bow of the boat, looking at the sea without saying a word. The wild Taoist was behind him. After a long time, he asked: "Master, are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Su Ziji turned around, nodded thoughtfully, and said, "Actually, it's not 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 we didn't have this opportunity."
"We have not yet made friends. 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, we can reach the capital to see his 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 journey, 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: "You are not the master, you can make the decision. Thinking about it 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.
