Reborn with you

Chen Yishui walked out of the office in a hurry, with a rare anxious look on his face. While putting on his overcoat to keep out the cold, he told his assistants: "Fred, I will return to England tomorrow, and the business here is on hold, please. Postpone what I didn't finish."

"Yes, boss." Fred followed behind and closed the office door.

Chen Yishui frowned, the winter wind seemed to have no effect on him, because his mind was completely disturbed by what he heard just now: Ye Shilan is seriously ill!

Since immigrating to the UK, even if he didn't go back in person, he would send people back to China every six months to see the situation of Shan Qiang's family and his family, as well as Ye Shilan and the others.Because he was worried that the old people were getting older, he would ask people to bring some supplements back home every time.Over the past few years, the family and the master are all safe and sound, and he and Ah Qiang are gradually relieved. But this morning, they received the news from there that Ye Shilan was ill, and It looks serious.

Upon hearing the news, Chen Yishui immediately panicked. For him, the old man was both a mentor and a father. During his most important childhood and youth, he was the person who accompanied him the longest except Ah Qiang.Such a person's status in his heart can be imagined, if it is about him and Shan Qiang, the family member he is least willing to hurt is Ye Shilan.Now that something might happen to Ye Shilan, Chen Yishui unconsciously looks for Shan Qiang around him, but the empty surrounding reminds him that he is in America, not England where he is.He stayed in the office for a while, and suddenly thought that he and Shan Qiang should go back to China as soon as possible to see Ye Shilan.

"Ah Qiang, master is sick." Chen Yishui called Shan Qiang as soon as he got home. He could imagine that Shan Qiang's mood at this time must be shocked and flustered.

Shan Qiang over there was also as Chen Yishui expected, and he paused for a long time before replying, his voice was a little trembling and at a loss: "Yishui, could it be that the news has been misinformed, are you sure? ... you also It's not that I don't know that the master's body has always been relatively strong."

"Ah Qiang, it's the news from the people who went back, and Lao Gen can't make a mistake." Chen Yishui couldn't bear it, but Shan Qiang would know sooner or later, and Shan Qiang was not delicate and needed his protection all the time. On the contrary, sometimes he is stronger than him at critical moments.

Shan Qiang was silent. Lao Gen is the person who has been with the second uncle the longest. This person is loyal and stable. For such an important matter, there are [-] out of [-] people who can't go wrong.

"Well, I'll pack up the things at home, and we'll go back together as soon as you come back."

"Well." Sure enough, Shan Qiang's thoughts coincided with his, "Don't worry, Master will be fine. You see, Mr. Yin is older than Master, isn't he fine?"

"It's true." Everyone knew that such words were just a comfort, but it was a glimmer of hope, and neither of them wanted to give up.

Chen Yishui went to hire a doctor at a high price that day, followed him back to England the next day, rested for a night, and hurriedly embarked on the road back to China on the third day.

Even though the few people used the fastest way to hurry, it took about ten days to reach Ye's house.There were children crying in the house, but they had no time to take this into consideration at the moment, a faint smell of medicine could be smelled at the door, and Shan Qiang's eye sockets felt hot.Uncle Wu, who was sweeping the floor in the yard, found several people standing at the door. His eyes were a little blurred, and it took him a lot of effort to recognize that among those people were the two children he had watched grow up.

"Eldest senior brother, second senior brother, you are back." The old voice couldn't hide his excitement, and Uncle Wu stepped forward a few steps, looking happily at the two children who were almost unrecognizable.

Shan Qiang stepped forward and held Uncle Wu's hand, tears finally fell down, his throat seemed to be choked by something, and it was very difficult for him to speak: "Uncle Wu, master, is he alright?"

As soon as Ye Shilan was mentioned, the joy on Uncle Wu's face faded, he hurriedly grabbed Shan Qiang's hand, and said, "Quick, go and see your master, he has been talking about you many times, and finally let him read it back." gone."

"Well, we're back," Shan Qiang looked at Chen Yishui with tears in his eyes, and said, "Yishui, hurry up."

Chen Yishui held back the soreness in his heart, nodded to Shan Qiang, and then said to the doctor beside him: "Doctor, that sick old man is our teacher and is very important to us, please do your best to heal him, thank you. "

The doctor pushed his eyes on the bridge of his nose, and replied sternly: "It is a doctor's duty to do his best to treat patients, so don't worry."

"Okay, please come with me." Chen Yishui didn't say anything more, and led the doctor to Ye Shilan's bedroom in his memory. in time.

As soon as Chen Yishui entered the room, he saw Ye Shilan's skinny hand holding Shan Qiang's hand tightly, talking intermittently, and by the window stood their little junior sister An An, and the new disciple that the master had accepted three years ago, Ye Yun.An An's eyes were red, and when she saw Chen Yishui coming in, she just nodded and turned her gaze back to Ye Shilan and Shan Qiang.

"Master, the elder brother is here." Chen Yishui heard An An lower her head and say to Ye Shilan on the bed.

Chen Yishui hurried forward, and saw that Ye Shilan's energetic face had been tormented by the disease, and her meticulous snow-white beard had lost its original luster, but Chen Yishui was slightly comforted by her neat appearance. , anyway, there are people to help take care of.

"Master, I'm sorry, Xingzhi came back late."

Ye Shilan looked at him quietly, her eyes were full of joy and kindness, without any trace of reproach, which caused Chen Yishui another pain in his heart.

"Master, I brought back a doctor for you, can I let him show you?" Chen Yishui said cautiously, Ye Shilan hated to see foreigners, he was afraid that Ye Shilan would refuse for this reason.

Ye Shilan opened his mouth, he wanted to say that he didn't need to bother, he knew his body, but he could clearly see the expectation and hope in the eyes of the first apprentice and the second apprentice, he couldn't bear to let their expectations fail, and finally gently nodded.

Chen Yishui breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly asked the doctor to come over. They stepped aside and waited for the result of the doctor's diagnosis.In the end, Shan Qiang accompanied Ye Shilan, while Chen Yishui and the doctor went outside to discuss the results.

"How is it? Doctor, can it be cured?"

The doctor frowned, and replied: "Mr. Chen, your teacher was just infected with common influenza at first, but it took too long, and your teacher is getting older, all of which have increased the difficulty of treatment. It's not ideal."

As a person who lived in the 21st century, Chen Yishui knew that the doctor's analysis was correct. In this era, even a common flu would kill if it dragged on for too long, not to mention that Ye Shilan was nearly eighty years old.

"Mr. Chen, I can only promise to do my best."

"Thank you doctor."

Because the medicine brought by the doctor was limited, Chen Yishui had no choice but to accompany the doctor to the nearest hospital to get the medicine. After returning, he quickly gave it to Ye Shilan according to the doctor's instructions.Ye Shilan also cooperatively swallowed the big and small pills with a bitter face, and finally said with a smile: "I'm satisfied now."

Chen Yishui held the water and said silently: "Master, you must get better."

However, the facts always failed to develop according to people's expectations. Between good and bad, Ye Shilan passed away in the early morning after Shan Qiang and the others came back more than 40 days.Before his death, he left his last words. After stopping Shan Qiang and the others, he insisted: "Anzhi, you, you don't need to say any more. I know my... body, I'm afraid, I'm afraid it won't last long Yes. An An, you... child, you are also a hard-working person, so I will leave this house to you. Anyway, I also have a home; do it, An Zhi, you are the most proud students in my life, teachers... teachers I have always been proud of you. All my collections are left to you. I hope you can take good care of these treasures for me. As for the money, give it to the family servants or the hard-working people. And, Yuner He is a good boy... He also lost his parents, and his talent is not as good as yours, so I don't ask for those, you, you can take care of him for the teacher." After seeing Shan Qiang and the others nodding with tears in their eyes, Ye Shilan smiled in satisfaction, Then he said to Ye Yun with great effort: "Yun'er, you will follow your senior brother and second senior brother from now on, okay?" The boy who has only turned nine years old this year has already burst into tears. The old man who got down was about to leave him.Ye Shilan nodded in satisfaction, and fell asleep the next moment.

Ye Shilan's funeral was handled by Ye Shilan's four disciples. During this period, An An fainted several times because of too much grief. Shan Qiang and Chen Yishui felt even more sad, but they still had things to do, so they could only endure the pain I want to deal with the funeral for Ye Shilan. Occasionally, when I see a familiar painting and think of Ye Shilan's voice and smile, I will shed tears unconsciously. After crying bitterly, I wipe the tears with my hands and continue to clean up; The master’s favorite inkstone that was secretly hidden, once made the master jump his feet in anger, and he finally forgot where he hid it. Recalling these, there was a faint smile on his face, and he stood there in a daze until he was woken up.

On the day of the funeral, many people came, some were Ye Shilan's former friends who Shan Qiang and the others had posted according to the address they remembered, some were literati who came to admire Ye Shilan after hearing the news, and some were local neighbors and folks. What made the two of them laugh and cry the most was that there were people who came to buy paintings because they knew they were back. These people actually lived well in this world.

On that day, literati and Baiding common people gathered together, just to mourn the old man who was respected both in character and in the painting and calligraphy circles.Mr. Yin is also much older. He walked to the mourning hall on crutches. When he saw his old friend for the last time, he sighed and said, "He was one step ahead of me." Mr. Yin and Ye Shilan had been friends for decades. Knowing that there will be such a day, the pain in my heart will not be reduced by it.

When everything was over, the four of them were quite haggard. They stayed in the quiet study room, listening to each other's memories about Ye Shilan. Ye Yun spent most of his time listening to the three senior brothers and sisters. , Seeing that they all had faint smiles, when they talked about the memories of the past, they were either smiling or full of gratitude. He understood that the sadness was buried in the deepest part of his heart.

Stimulated by Ye Shilan's death, Shan Qiang and Chen Yishui both wanted to stay with their family for a while longer. Shan's mother was very distressed when she saw the haggard Shan Qiang, and she could use all the supplements Chen Yishui sent, but I don't mention the marriage anymore, maybe I know something after thinking about it.The former child Shan Hui is now the father of a one-year-old girl. He is a little strange to get along with Shan Qiang, the eldest brother who has not seen him for a long time, but he always remembers that the elder brother is kind to him, and the blood relationship between relatives is severed. No, in less than ten days, I also got to know Shan Qiang.Because the second uncle happened to be at home, most of the business was entrusted to the second uncle. Shan Qiang and Chen Yishui didn't have to worry about business matters, and lived safely at home for half a year.The warm family affection soothed their grief over the loss of their mentor, and the expressions of the two slowly recovered.

"An An, what are your plans for the future?" They also knew about An An's situation. Her husband thought he was an ordinary newspaper employee, but he turned out to be an underground member who opposed the Qing government, and was betrayed in the end. Her husband and Both her father-in-law and her mother-in-law died under the guns of the Qing soldiers. Only she and her two twins escaped the catastrophe because they went back to Sichuan to see Ye Shilan. It can be said that in China, except for her two children, she has no relatives. Qiang and Chen Yishui really hope that An An can go to England with them.

An An smiled bleakly: "Just take the two children and live in Ye Zhai. Besides here, where else can I go?"

"You can also go to England with us. An'an, your second senior brother and I can always take care of you and your children." Chen Yishui said solemnly, and Shan Qiang nodded aside.

Tears flashed in An An's eyes. The once lively and pretty little girl had grown into a woman after experiencing life's ups and downs.

"Well, I'll follow you."

Shan Qiang smiled, rubbed Ye Yun's head beside her and said, "Yun'er, let's go together, you will like that family."

Ye Yun looked at the second senior brother's clear brown pupils, and his beautiful eyes looked at him gently. At this moment, he firmly believed that because of this person, his future life would be very good. "Well, let's go together."

Chen Yishui arranged for some people to guard and maintain Ye's house, among them were many old people who voluntarily stayed here. They had stayed here for decades and were reluctant to leave.As Ye Shilan hoped, Chen Yishui used more than half of Ye Shilan's money as the wages of these old people, and distributed the rest to the poor folks.

In the end, they lived at home for more than a month, and the group returned to the UK with the help of their family members. An An and the others started their new life in this completely strange country.
