Ling Xi’s eyes turned slightly red, her nose felt sore, and tears blurred her eyes.
Master Xuanzhen… had indeed passed away.
“Mom, what are you looking at?”
Although Ling Xi subconsciously wanted to hide the letter behind her, she still took it out slowly. There were some things he had to learn to face.
“Xiao Nuo, this is a letter written by your master.”
“Master’s letter?” Xiao Nuo took it, but couldn’t understand some of the words on it, “Ling Xi, Xiao Nuo…Mom, what are these words?”
Ling Xi turned her face away slightly, wiped her tears with her hands, and turned back, “Xiao Nuo, let Mommy tell you, people living in this world will always experience some beautiful and dark things…” Ling Xi suddenly stopped, she really didn’t know how to explain “death” to a child who was not even five years old.
“Mom, Xiao Nuo understands, right? Just like we experience day and night every day?”
“Yeah, that’s right.” Ling Xi suddenly broke down in tears. She couldn’t control her emotions and covered her face with her hands and cried out loud.
“Mom, what’s wrong?”
Ling Xi did not answer Xiao Nuo, as if Xiao Nuo’s voice was a catalyst that could evoke the deepest memories in people’s hearts.
She finally raised her face and said, “Xiao Nuo, Master Xuanzhen…, is no longer alive.”
Ling Xi looked into Xiao Nuo’s eyes, but Xiao Nuo did not react and still looked at her with eyes wide open.
“Does Xiao Nuo know what ‘death’ is?”
Xiao Nuo nodded slightly and then slowly lowered his head, “Xiao Nuo knows, it means that we will never see the person again, just like the fish and shrimps that we eat.”
After hearing Xiao Nuo’s words, Ling Xi suddenly stopped crying, but the tears on her face were not yet dry…
When they walked out of the thatched hut, they saw a human figure completely covered in snow sitting on a stone pier.
“Master, Master.”
Xiao Nuo ran forward, knelt on the stone pier covered with ice and snow, stretched out his little hands, and brushed away the snow on the master’s head and face, “Master? Master?”
Seeing that the master didn’t respond, Xiao Nuo turned around and looked at his mother, “Mom, is the master asleep?”
Ling Xi’s face was painfully frozen by the cold snowy day, and her heart was even more so. “Xiao Nuo, do you remember what mom just said about ‘death’? Everyone will experience ‘birth, aging, illness and death’.”
Tears gradually formed in Xiao Nuo’s eyes, “Mom.”
Ling Xi knew she should tell him in another way, “When a person’s merits are complete, he should go to another world instead of disappearing forever.”
The tears in Xiao Nuo’s eyes did not fall out.
“Mom, what is the other world like? Will Master be hungry and cold?”
Ling Xi shook her head gently. “Only Xiao Nuo’s master knows what the other world is like… Xiao Nuo, kowtow to the master with your mother.”
Ling Xi and Xiao Nuo knelt directly on the snow, kowtowed three times to Master Xuanzhen, and then put their hands together.
“Master Xuanzhen, have a safe journey, Amitabha…”
“Xiao Nuo hopes that Master is doing well in the other world. Don’t let yourself get cold or hungry, and don’t be reluctant to eat or wear clothes. Without Xiao Nuo by your side, you must feel very lonely. Master can take in another little disciple in that world. Xiao Nuo promises that he won’t feel bad. Master… Xiao Nuo misses you…”
Ling Xi listened to Xiao Nuo’s words, and a drop of warm tears fell on the snow…
