遂至吴，依大家皋伯通，居庑下，为人赁舂。 He reached Wu, lodged with magnate Gao Botong under the eaves, and earned his keep grinding grain.

伯通察而异之，曰：“彼佣能使其妻敬之如此，非凡人也。” Gao Botong marveled: "A laborer whose wife honors him so is no common man."

及卒，伯通等为求葬地于吴要离冢傍。 At his death Gao and friends buried him beside Yaoli the martyr in Wu.
