Capítulo 1200: Chapter 467: Mo Shuang (Part 2)
In no time, they arrived at the Inner Courtyard’s hall.
Here, white silk has already been hung up, and an offering table was set up.
Madam had changed into a plain white dress, leaning by the coffin, whispering quietly with Elder Du.
Only upon hearing the footsteps approaching did they cease speaking.
Seeing Su Mo and Wei Ziyi arrive, Madam stood up, gathered her dress respectfully, and softly said:
“Sir, please forgive me, as it has been long since we last met.
“There is so much I wish to say; I don’t wish to part for a moment.
“So, I can only ask you to come here and talk; please forgive any discourtesy.”
Su Mo sighed, took three sticks of incense from the table, lit them, bowed, and inserted them before speaking:
“Such a deep and meaningful relationship, how could I take offense?”
“Thank you, Sir.”
Elder Du’s wife faintly smiled, though her eyes were filled with sadness:
“He used to lament about his age.
“Saying that he was much older than me, and would inevitably leave first.
“Then leaving me alone in this world, fearing I would end my own life.
“This thought always brought him sorrow.
“I comforted him, saying that if that day truly comes, I would still live well.
“Telling him to wait for me below…
“Whether it’s a year, a decade, or even two or three decades, it’s only after I see him again that I can cross the Naihe Bridge.
“Reincarnate together in the next life, never having to worry about this again.
“I just never expected… he would leave so soon.
“Now making him wait a long time at the Naihe Bridge for me.”
Hearing this, Su Mo couldn’t help but feel complex emotions in his heart.
Hearing her words, it was certain she wouldn’t take her own life.
Yet the sorrow contained within, no matter how understated or lightly described, was still overwhelming and suffocating.
Glancing at Wei Ziyi beside him, he found her eyes already red.
As if fearing Elder Du’s wife would notice her sadness, she quickly lowered her head, not daring to let her see.
Su Mo lightly exhaled, forcing himself to say:
“Please rest assured, Madam, although I haven’t known Elder Du for long.
“Yet I understand his character quite well.
“I imagine if it were him, even in front of the Naihe Bridge, he wouldn’t make himself suffer, surely finding joy in it.
“Several decades are just a flick of the fingers.
“Only one thing might annoy him…”
“What is it?”
Elder Du’s wife paused upon hearing this.
“He didn’t have a chicken leg to eat.”
Thinking of the last chicken leg Elder Du never got to eat, Su Mo didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, leaving only a faint sadness.
Upon hearing this, Elder Du’s wife couldn’t help but smile:
“Indeed, he was addicted to chicken legs, perhaps in his past life he was a worm devoured by a chicken.
“That’s why he’s so obsessed with chicken legs, it’s his revenge in this life.”
Saying this, she shook her head:
“Speaking of him, there are many tangents that would make you laugh.
“Now, inviting you here is actually for another matter.”
“Please, Madam, go ahead.”
But Elder Du’s wife didn’t speak immediately, instead picking up a Brocade Box from the table.
The box was nearly two feet long, and when opened, inside lay a Mo Jade Flute.
Su Mo was slightly surprised: “What is this?”
“Please take it out and inspect it closely.”
Su Mo nodded, taking the Mo Jade Flute out.
This jade flute was over a foot long.
The whole body was black as ink, yet translucent, warm to the touch, with excellent quality.
He turned it slightly in his hand and shook his head with a smile:
“Unfortunately, I am not skilled in this.”
Elder Du’s wife smiled: “This flute is named ‘Mo Shuang,’ it appears to be jade, but actually it is not.
“Its texture is extraordinarily tough, resistant to weapons.
“In my youth, I excelled at Qin, Qi, Shu, Hua, naturally delving into music theory too.
“And I adored this piece.
“Years ago, when he was injured saving me, bedridden, I would play it for him to relieve his boredom.
“So… when I left Nanhai Alliance back then, I did not take a single needle or thread, unwilling to part with only this.
“Now, thinking about it, I don’t know how to repay you for bringing his body back from afar.
“So, I gift you this item, hoping you would not disdain it.”
Upon hearing this, Su Mo paused, immediately waving his hand:
“This would never do… since it holds memories of the two of you, how could I take away what you cherish?
“Moreover, Elder Du and I had agreed beforehand; I delivered the Fansheng Pill to Madam for him, and he already paid the escort fee, how can I take this as well?”
The Fansheng Pill saved my life, also resolving the poison those people gave me.”
Elder Du’s wife gently shook her head: “But, in comparison, I’d rather not have that Fansheng Pill, so I could bring him back.
“He didn’t instruct this, yet you still did it.
“Such a great favor must be repaid.
“Moreover… although I don’t know what mystical property Mo Shuang holds.
“Yet Zhang Fang and Yu Tong, even Xiao He said I took a crucial item from Nanhai Alliance.
“Thinking it over, apart from this item, there isn’t anything else.
“Since it’s of great importance, it must be precious.
“Therefore, I hope you’ll accept it.
“To express a small piece of my heart.”
With that, she smiled again:
“As for memories…
“He and I already have plenty of memories.
“The entire Yusheng Island, filled with endless memories, is already enough.”
