After hearing this, King Wen said: "My fellow villagers are leading the way. Let's enter the village together." They entered the village together. King Wen built a medical clinic at the head of the village to treat the people in the village. There were many people coming to see the doctor, and there was a long queue from inside the hall to outside. King Wen looked at the old man standing in front of him and said, "Old Chong, please sit down first." Then the old man sat down and faced King Wen. King Wen asked: "Old Chong, where are you feeling uncomfortable?" The old man said, "My stomach is bloated and my urine is yellow."

You can all go back, so there is no need to see each other off." These officials all knelt in front of King Wen and looked up and said: "Your Majesty. "King Wen helped up a state official, looked at the officials behind him and said: "You all get up." He held the state official's hands tightly, patted them twice gently, and said: "The people of Zhangshui, please It's up to you, the people are the most important, the king is second." The state official looked at King Wen and just nodded silently. King Wen took a few steps back, kowtowed to them, and got into the carriage behind him. Shang Fu sat in front and drove King Wen. King Wen stuck his head out and looked back, at the local officials following the carriage, and said, "You don't have to see each other off. Let's all go back."

King Wen walked up and asked: "Old Chong, are you in good health?" The old man just grinned, showing a few incomplete teeth and wrinkles on his face, and said: "I followed the king's instructions and ate a lot. It is light. I can still go to the fields to do farm work. My stomach is not bloated anymore. I eat well and sleep well." King Wen nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, just pay attention to your diet." Then he turned to Shang Fu behind him and said: " Shang Fu, you drive ahead." All these people moved out of the way. Shang Fu drove out and waited ten miles outside the city. King Wen walked among these people, talking and laughing, and they all left the city together. King Wen turned to look at these people and said to the old man walking aside: "Old Chong, if you have any difficulties in the future, you can always come to Handan to see me. I will wait for you in Handan." The old man nodded and said: "Okay." He stood next to King Wen again. In front of him, he said: "Your Majesty, you must take care of your health!"

Cao Shuang knelt in front of the solitary tomb and burned some paper money to pay homage. It was obvious that this was the tomb of Cao Bin, the magistrate of Shexian County. Cao Shuang knelt down in front of the tombstone very calmly, and said after a long time: "Father, the disaster year has passed, and the lives of us people have returned to normal. You can rest in peace now." King Wen drove out of the forest, stopped, and looked from a distance go. King Wen stuck his head out and said, "Shang Fu, why did you stop again?" Shang Fu looked into the distance and said, "Sir, look, it's Cao Shuang." Cao Binqu, the magistrate of Shexian County, died in prison. , King Wen felt guilty. Then he stepped forward, followed by Shang Fu, and said, "Sir." King Wen looked back at Shang Fu, who was following behind, and nodded. King Wen stood behind Cao Shuang, and Cao Shuang knelt in front of his father's tombstone. He did not say a word, but mourned in silence. King Wen gently patted it on the shoulder and said: "It was my misjudgment that caused your father to die in prison." Cao Shuang did not respond to it, silently looking at his father's tombstone, then stood up and bowed salute. Then he knelt down and said to King Wen, "Your Majesty." King Wen helped Cao Shuang up and said, "Cao Shuang, please stay with me from now on." Cao Shuang was still stunned. Shang Fu stood aside and said: "Cao Shuang, sir, you have already agreed to accept you as his disciple, why don't you become his disciple soon?" Cao Shuang then knelt down and worshiped King Wen as his disciple, and said: "Sir, sir, please accept my disciple's worship. "King Wen helped Cao Shuang up and said: "Cao Shuang, you get up." He walked up to look at the tomb of his father, Cao Bin, bowed deeply, stepped back and got into the carriage behind him with King Wen, and Shang Fu drove away, running towards Jinyang.

King Wen looked at Ziwen's tomb in front of him, his eyes were unusually solemn, and he slowly walked up and stood beside Ziwen. In front of the tomb, he said: "Ziwen! You often come to my husband's dreams and blame my husband for not coming to see you." Unknowingly, tears burst out of his eyes. Ziwen's death will be an indelible pain in King Wen's heart. This pain is very painful. In this way, King Wen kept looking at Ziwen's tomb, trembling even as he spoke, and tears fell uncontrollably. In his later years, King Wen often dreamed of Ziwen, and often woke up crying in his dreams. Cao Shuang stood behind Shang Fu and asked: "Senior Brother Shang Fu, who is it?"
