"what?"

Xie Shuangchen was lying on the bed playing games, and when he received a call from Xie Huan and heard such news, his brain didn't react, and his movements of getting up were as slow as usual.

"Dad is gone!" Xie Huan cried.

"Ah?!" He stood up abruptly, his voice suddenly raised high, his brain was hot, all the blood was flowing upwards, and even his throat tightened in an instant, "What?!"

The voice was too loud, Ye Ling came over and asked, "What's the matter? What happened?"

I saw Xie Shuangchen froze in place, and could hear a woman crying on the phone.Immediately afterwards, Xie Shuangchen hung up the phone, still in a daze.Although Ye Ling didn't know what was going on, he instinctively felt that something must have happened, and stepped forward to touch Xie Shuangchen.

"Speak." He urged.

"Eldest sister said, the master is gone." Xie Shuangchen was very calm when he said this, as if he was asking himself a little uncertainly.But the moment the ending sound fell, tears fell from his eyes, and he didn't even notice it.

"What..." The news was too shocking, and it came too suddenly, Ye Ling couldn't believe it.

Xie Shuangchen was in a daze, unable to speak, and pretended to dress calmly, but the wrong buttons betrayed his panic.He went out with the car keys, but was snatched by Ye Ling: "How do you drive like this? Take a taxi and go."

Ye Ling took Xie Shuangchen out with the good things, but Xie Shuangchen was out of his mind and let Ye Ling manipulate him.Ye Ling held Xie Shuangchen's hand, as if he could feel the rapid heartbeat from his palm.

"Don't be afraid." Ye Ling caressed Xie Shuangchen's back lightly. He was also in a state of confusion and didn't know what to say to comfort Xie Shuangchen.It has been a year since he was brought to know Xie Fangbi by Xie Shuangchen, and he stayed with Xie Fangbi for a while.He admired this senior cross talker very much. Although he failed to become a teacher, it is very rare to be lucky enough to learn from Xie Fangbi.

However, the world is unpredictable. The old man who joked a few days ago that he would check their homework suddenly left them today.Thinking of this, Ye Ling's grief became even stronger, and her eyes turned red.

Is this really true?or fake?

He didn't even have words to comfort himself, so what could he use to comfort others?

Ye Ling saw Xie Shuangchen leaning against the car window, covering his face with one hand, looking very calm, only his breathing trembled.

The car couldn't go inside, so they got down at the entrance of the alley.

Neither of them spoke, they walked forward in silence until they reached the gate, Xie Shuangchen went in and saw Xie Huan, and couldn't help crying "Wow", without knowing what to say.

Xie Huan came to Xie Fangbi's house that morning, knocked on the door for a long time, and no one was there, so he entered by himself according to the password.As a result, he was dumbfounded as soon as he entered, Xie Fangbi collapsed on the edge of the small flower bed in the courtyard.Xie Huan hurriedly called the ambulance, and the doctor rushed to see that it was an acute myocardial infarction, which was discovered too late and he was gone.

Maybe this kind of scene happened too often, the doctor calmly persuaded Xie Huanjie to change his mind.Xie Huan stood there stiffly, not knowing what to do.

In the next few hours, she herself didn't know how she arranged the following things in an orderly manner, and then notified one by one.

When she called Xie Shuangchen, she felt the great grief like a flood, and cried aloud.

Relatives and friends who received the news came one after another, and there were also many media, but Xie Huan refused to receive him at all, and only the official media issued the obituary.

The small courtyard, which had always been peaceful, suddenly became chaotic.

Except for Xie Shuangchen, Xie Fangbi's apprentices were not in Beijing, only relatives rushed over first, and Xie Huan told them about the situation at that time with red eyes.They were all female relatives, and they couldn't help crying in grief after hearing it.

Xie Fangbi's lawyer also rushed over. He waited for Xie Huan to finish speaking and went up to him. He first comforted Xie Huan, and then asked Xie Huan in a low voice: "Sister Huan, the old man made a will long ago, and entrusted Me, after a hundred years, the funeral should not be a big deal, everything should be kept simple, and there should be no disturbance..."

"Understood." Xie Huan rubbed his eyes, "Let's talk about this first, and the rest of the will will be discussed after everyone comes back."

The lawyer nods.

"Fifth, where's fifth?" Xie Huan searched for Xie Shuangchen all over the room, and finally found him on the sofa in the corner.

Xie Shuangchen was half leaning on the back of the sofa, with his eyes pressed against his arms, and Ye Ling was by his side, his eyes were red and swollen, and he was silent.Xie Huan came over, saw Xie Shuangchen like this, and sighed.

Ye Ling lip-synced and said, "I've been crying all the time."

"I know you are sad." Xie Huan said wearily, "There are so many people at home, get up and find something to do, or you should be crying."

Ye Ling touched Xie Shuangchen, and Xie Shuangchen just sat up, almost collapsed and out of shape.

Painful emotions are so powerful, stronger than any optimism and cheerfulness, and can destroy a person in an instant.

Seeing Xie Shuangchen like this, Xie Huan couldn't bear to feel distressed, sniffed, and said, "Go and receive the guests, and I'll tell the media."

"Yes." Xie Shuangchen agreed with a hoarse voice, and it was Ye Ling who supported him so that he could stand up.

Since the obituary was issued, the flow of people has not stopped.Li Shuangping came back at dinner time. He was nearly fifty, and he cried all the way back. After entering the main hall, he knelt down in front of Xie Fangbi's portrait.Xie Shuangchen went to pull him, but he was sobbing, and he didn't say a complete sentence to Xie Shuangchen for a long time.

Xie Shuangchen also cried and explained to Li Shuangping how Master passed away, and told Li Shuangping to take care of his health.

Zheng Shuangqi only came back from other places in the middle of the night, and he did the same thing again, but he was a little calmer.

Only Yang Shuanglin was not present. He was abroad and rushed to the airport immediately after receiving the news. However, the journey was far away, and he might not be able to make it to the day.

That night, Xie Huan and his senior brothers kept watch together. The family members of the senior brothers had arranged to rest, and they were the only ones in the mourning hall.

The traditional master-student relationship is like that of father and son. When the master dies, the apprentice should also wear sackcloth and mourning for the master just like the children in the family.It's just that there are no feudal red tapes nowadays, only some basic details are maintained, and Xie Fangbi asked not to make arrangements and not to disturb the neighbors, so they kept everything simple.Set up a simple mourning hall at home for relatives and friends to come to express their condolences. Three days later, Babaoshan holds a farewell ceremony for the remains.

These three days were actually a buffer period for them to slowly accept the fact that Xie Fangbi had left.

The candles on the altar could not be extinguished, so Xie Huan sat on the edge and watched, so that even if someone rushed over in the middle of the night, it would be easy to receive.The three brothers also stayed. Li Shuangping said: "I am the oldest here. Although I am not born to Master, Master treats me better than his own. Huanhuan, fifth son, let me watch at night. You have been busy for so long during the day. Take a break."

Xie Huan said: "In principle, we all have to be here, but the two elder brothers are not too young, so it's better for us juniors to be here."

"Brother, you two go to the next room and sleep for a while, there are still a lot of things to do tomorrow." Xie Shuangchen said, "I watched at night, I am young, and I will be fine if I sleep a few nights less."

They fought back and forth, and only Zheng Shuangqi said straightforwardly, "Old Five, I'll leave this place to you, and I'll go to sleep."

Xie Shuangchen said "Yes", and then drove Li Shuangping away with Xie Huan, leaving the two of them and Ye Ling in the mourning hall.

"Ms. Ye, you should go to sleep too." Xie Shuangchen spoke weakly, not as lively as usual.

"No need." Ye Ling said simply, "I'll just stay here."

Xie Shuangchen said, "You don't have to..."

Ye Ling said: "I also respectfully call the old man 'teacher', the old man told me to live, why don't I need this?"

"Forget it, just stay here." After Xie Huan spoke, Xie Shuangchen stopped arguing with Ye Ling.

The three of them just stayed so quietly. Even though it was late spring and early summer, with the doors and windows open, they still felt a little chilly.Xie Shuangchen went to find a thin blanket for Xie Huan to wrap around. Xie Huan hugged her and suddenly asked, "Old Five, how long has it been since the old man and I have spoken?"

"As far as I can remember, it's been quite a few years." Xie Shuangchen recalled, "The past two years have intensified, and I won't come back."

Xie Huan smiled wryly: "If I don't come back, I still have something to miss. If I come back once, I don't expect to see each other again. Hey... maybe God doesn't want our relationship to slow down."

Xie Shuangchen obediently listened to Xie Huan's speech, while Ye Ling quietly watched the siblings, each of them had a world and a story in their eyes.

Ye Ling didn't know what kind of estrangement there was between Xie Huan and Xie Fangbi, but since she thought of coming here to have a look, she must have a relaxed attitude.

When a daughter who hadn't returned home for a long time opened the door, there was no warm welcome from her father, no disgust or scolding, nothing, just the appearance of falling quietly on the ground.

Ye Ling may not be able to have obvious empathy for other emotions, but he also has parents. Even if the relationship is stalemate now, it is just a little bit of ups and downs in life.

As soon as he thought of this, he didn't dare to think about it anymore.

"Hey." Xie Huan sighed softly, "I'm serious. The last sentence he said seemed to be 'why should my freedom be interfered with? Why should I be your daughter? I hate you'. Come on, hate now Can’t wait anymore, people are gone.”

Xie Shuangchen said: "Master doesn't say anything, but he has always cared about you in his heart. For so many years, even if you call me to say that he is not good, he wants to hear it. You two are like fathers and like daughters, Temperament is exactly the same."

"I don't want to mention it." Xie Huan's eyes were a little wet, and he interrupted Xie Shuangchen quickly, took a breath, and said to Ye Ling, "Xiaoye, do you want to eat tomorrow morning? Sister, do you want to make something?"

"No need, sister." Ye Ling replied.

Xie Huan asked him: "You are talking about cross talk in Beijing, is your family not in a hurry?"

"It's useless to be anxious." Ye Ling knew that Xie Huan just wanted to chat with him, to talk to him, to ease his emotions, and it's not a good thing to always fall into sadness.He looked at Xie Shuangchen. Although Xie Shuangchen was young, he was so shocked that he became wilted, and his beautiful eyes were red and swollen.He didn't know how many times he cried today, Ye Ling was afraid that he would cry until he became dehydrated.

Xie Shuangchen lost his master, his father, the people who relied on him the most in the first half of his life, the people who were the best to him.

The man did not shed tears, but he did not go to the sad place.

"I had a big fight with the old man before I left home. You can see that he likes cross talk so much, but he didn't allow me to enter the industry." Xie Huan said directly, "He always said that women can't do it like this, and it's easy to be annoying. I If you don’t believe me, he will block it everywhere. The two sides can’t settle down, and the trouble has come to this day.”

Ye Ling thought that Xie Huan was going to say something regretful, but Xie Huan continued to say: "But my only regret is that I failed to stick to my own path, and insisted on fighting the old man instead. I got nothing in the end."

Ye Ling opened his mouth, but at that moment he didn't know what to say. He vaguely knew that the estrangement between Xie's father and daughter was also caused by cross talk.Seeing Xie Huan's current appearance, Ye Ling suddenly thought that he had never contacted his family since he impulsively left home during the Chinese New Year. There was a ripple in his heart, but soon he calmed down.

become more determined.

The farewell ceremony for Xie Fangbi's body was held in Babaoshan three days later. Everything was very simple in accordance with the old man's last wish.

As early as the day the obituary was issued, there were many discussions on the Internet.The departure of the master is the end of an era. When we say goodbye to him, why not say goodbye to the same memory and time?

Xie Shuangchen felt that his emotions had stabilized after three days of suffering. He couldn't even drink his saliva on the first day, but now he can still chat with people.But when he went inside and saw Xie Fangbi sleeping peacefully in the crystal coffin, he suddenly couldn't control himself anymore.

The process of the ceremony was very fast, the family members stood on one side, and Ye Ling stood in the crowd behind.There are many leading seniors and celebrities from all walks of life in front of him. The old man was humble during his lifetime, had outstanding achievements in art, and loved to support the younger generation and help others.A long life is reduced to the last few words, Mr. Qiangu.

Ye Ling crossed the crowd and glanced at Xie Shuangchen who had been crying.

When everything was over, the family members were unwilling to leave, and Yang Shuanglin threw himself on the coffin in a broken state, shouting "I want Master".

This is almost a gaffe, but what about a gaffe under such an occasion and emotional urging?

Standing beside Xie Shuangchen, Ye Ling handed him a tissue, choked up and said, "Go and have a look, I won't see you again."

Xie Shuangchen turned his back and cried, "I dare not."

"Then take a look from afar."

It's not advisable to stay inside for a long time, Ye Ling pulled Xie Shuangchen out, Xie Shuangchen didn't turn back until the door, in fact, it was already too real.He quickly turned his head around, fearing that if he stayed for too long, he would become unable to accept this reality again.

From now on, no one kicked open his door early in the morning to check his homework; Bird, wait for him to come back for dinner.

nothing left.

Death is like a lamp going out, and silence is like this.

After leaving the gate of life and death, Xie Fangbi walked away lightly, but he didn't know that everything behind him was caused by him, and the dark tide was surging.
