After burying Shu Cheng, Zouping and He Yan walked down the mountain.
Walk and chat.
He Yan envied the relationship between Shu Cheng and Zouping. The two met when they were young and have been together in the world for more than forty years.
He Yan met the two of them not long ago. He Yan was taken in by the two because of his injury. After getting in touch, he was attracted by their temperaments and they became friends forever.
The three of them lived in seclusion in the mountains. During the day, they had nothing to do but farm, feed the livestock, and then travel together.
Drinking and chatting in the evening, admiring the moon and stars, the days are spent leisurely and leisurely.
Half a year later, Shu Cheng suddenly became weak and unable to see a doctor, so he knew that his end was approaching.
He Yan was very sad when he found out and said he would go on a tour to invite the best doctors to treat Shu Cheng.
Shu Cheng comforted him that everyone is destined to die, and there will be separation after gathering and separation.
Shu Cheng and Zouping still live as usual, but Shu Cheng is more active.
Shu Cheng always teased He Yan. Looking at Shu Cheng like this, He Yan still felt sad but no longer showed it on his face.
Because Shu Cheng was getting weaker and weaker, so the three of them mostly chatted at home.
At first, they talked about what Shu Cheng and Zouping had experienced over the years, but later they also started talking about Shu Cheng's death.
Shu Cheng kept saying that it would be simple and just be buried on the mountain where they always go.
He kept telling them not to be too sad, and if they really couldn't let go, just pretend that he was going on a long trip.
Zouping acted calmly, but He Yan's eyes turned red after hearing this.
Shu Cheng will also discuss with them the style of the coffin and how to write the tombstone.
Zouping would take notes carefully after listening and then make some suggestions. He Yan would just stay silent and sit aside to listen. After listening, he would run to the town to buy things.
After a while, Shu Cheng's health got better again. He Yan felt that Shu Cheng was getting better and was very happy.
But not long after, Shu Cheng left.
The weather was very good on the day we left for Shucheng.
It had been raining heavily for several days, but it suddenly cleared up that day.
The weather is fine and people are in good spirits.
After dinner, the three of them went for a walk by the nearby river. While walking, Shu Cheng talked a lot.
After returning home, the three of them had a few drinks. Shu Cheng said to the two of them: "It's rare to meet a close friend in life, but I'm lucky enough to meet you in this life. That's enough." After having a drink, Shu Cheng said he was tired and went to rest. Soon
Then he passed away.
When Zouping and He Yan found out, He Yan burst into tears while Zouping calmly took care of the funeral arrangements.
The two of them remained silent until they finished burying Shu Cheng and walked down the mountain.
He Yan asked Zouping, "Why are you always so calm?" Zouping replied, "Everyone will die, but death is not the end." He Yan felt that it was a bit profound, but he did not pursue the question and changed the topic.
"You have been friends for many years, have you ever quarreled or fought?" Zouping replied, "When you were young, you did. Don't look at Shu Cheng's mild temper now. When he was young, he was also a firecracker, and he would explode at the first moment." He Yan finished listening.
After thinking about it for a while, he felt that it was quite different from the Shu Cheng he had seen. He had always felt that Shu Cheng had a good temper and was very gentle, and he could see the light of Buddha in Shu Cheng.
He Yan asked again, "How did you become close friends?" Zouping thought for a while and replied, "When we met, we were young and frivolous, and we had a fight over trivial matters. We didn't know each other until we got into each other. After that, we always drank together.
, we gradually became familiar with each other. The biggest similarity between the two of us was that we were both rootless duckweeds. We didn't want to go together for the first time, so we separated after that.
We met again a year later, and after we talked, we still hit it off, so we decided to travel together together." After hearing this, He Yan asked, "Wouldn't it be annoying for you to be together for more than 40 years?" "It was annoying at first, because both of you are the same.
When you are used to being around other people, it will be annoying if you suddenly have to worry and compromise when two people are together, but gradually you get used to it, and the most valuable thing is that every time you say something, he immediately understands it, and when he looks at me later, I feel like it.
We all know what he means. And we have similar interests, we both love traveling and tasting delicious food." Zouping answered seriously.
He Yan was very envious after hearing this. It is said that a close friend is hard to find and a close friend is rare in life.
After going down the mountain, He Yan asked Zouping, "What are you going to do in the future?" "Just stay here and spend the rest of your life." After Zouping finished speaking, he glanced at the mountain.
"I want to go out to relax. I may not be able to accept it in a short period of time. I will come back to see you after a while." He Yan was still sad. He was afraid of going back and triggering the scene.
"Okay, have a safe journey." Zouping looked at He Yan and said.
After the two said goodbye, they walked in different directions.
