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，滿懷悲傷地前去吊唁。

朋友家中人來客往，十分擁擠，著名的俠客陳遵也在吊唁的隊伍中。由于贈送的東西格外多，陳遵的臉上止不住流露出有恩于人的神色。

輪到王丹拜祭的時候，只見他緩緩從包中拿出一匹細絹，放在靈堂前的幾案上，沉聲說道：“這匹布雖然值不了幾個錢，但這是王丹親手織成的，一經一緯，都包含著我對您的思念!”陳遵聽得這話，不禁滿臉通紅，趕緊托辭離開了靈堂。
