Wan Dan heard of his friend's death, and went to express his condolence with a heavy heart.

Many people came and went, and it was crowded in the friend's house, the celebrated knight-errant, Chen Zun, was also among the condolence procession, as he had presented numerous presents, he could not help assuming an air of benefactor.

When it was Wan Dan's turn to pay contribute to his dead friend, he produced a pi of thin silk from his bag slowly, and put it on the table in front of the catafalque. He said in a low voice, "Though the cloth costs little, I wove it personally, every thread of it indicates how I miss you!" On hearing this, Chen Zun could not help flushing, and then he left at once under the pretext of urgent businesses.

王丹得知朋友去世的消息后，满怀悲伤地前去吊唁。

朋友家中人来客往，十分拥挤，著名的侠客陈遵也在吊唁的队伍中。由于赠送的东西格外多，陈遵的脸上止不住流露出有恩于人的神色。

轮到王丹拜祭的时候，只见他缓缓从包中拿出一匹细绢，放在灵堂前的几案上，沉声说道：“这匹布虽然值不了几个钱，但这是王丹亲手织成的，一经一纬，都包含着我对您的思念！”陈遵听得这话，不禁满脸通红，赶紧托辞离开了灵堂。
