Early the next morning, just as Xiao Yan thought, Old Jack did not come to pick him up.

Xiao Yan decided not to wait any longer, and on the way home with Tang San, there was a little girl jumping around.

"How far is it?" Xiao Wu asked casually, looking east and west.

In fact, the road to Holy Soul Village is not very far, but with Xiao Wu, a curious rabbit playing with butterflies and catching dragonflies, even with Xiao Yan standing in the way, two soul masters still walked at the speed of three people. hour.

"We're almost there. Have you seen that mountain over there? Our Holy Soul Village is at the foot of the mountain." Tang San pointed to the mountain not far away, and at the same time looked at Xiao Yan with some concern.

Xiao Yan shook his head, indicating that he was fine.

Along the way, Xiao Yan was restless, and even the nervous Xiao Wu noticed that something was not right with him.

"Xiao Yan, are you okay? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Xiao Wu looked at him with round eyes.

Xiao Yan forced a smile, rubbed Xiao Wu's head, and said, "Sister Xiao Wu can also care about people?"

"What? I see you're fine with nothing, and you're still in the mood to tease me." Xiao Wu slapped Xiao Yan's hand away angrily, turned around and walked forward.

Xiao Yan sighed and moved faster.

Grandpa, I'm back.

Soon, the three of them had entered the Holy Soul Village, Tang San's home was at the head of the village, he raised his finger to the dilapidated sign on the roof, Tang San smiled at Xiao Wu and said, "Look, that's my home."

Strange, why didn't grandpa wait for me outside the village?It shouldn't be.

"Xiao San, please take Xiao Wu to your home first. I'll go see grandpa first." Xiao Yan sounded a little anxious, and before Tang San could reply to him, he had already run towards the village.

Looking at Xiao Yan's back worriedly, Tang San certainly knew what Xiao Yan was anxious about.If old Jack didn't go to the academy for half a year, it was because of travel expenses or inconvenience of his legs and feet.But now it is impossible for Old Jack to come and greet Xiao Yan. It is very likely that something happened to him.

"Mistress, what's wrong with Xiao Yan?" Xiao Wu also felt a little strange. She seemed to have never seen Xiao Yan so anxious before.

"It's very possible that something happened to A Yan's grandfather. We may have to go see him later."

Tang San entered the blacksmith shop in a hurry, wanting to rush over to see Xiao Yan earlier, but he didn't expect an accident, because - Tang Hao was missing.

There were few people on the road and it was lunch time.But the closer he got to home, the more uneasy he felt in Xiao Yan's heart, and in the end he even used Three Thousand Thunderbolts.

Arriving in front of a familiar house, the door was not closed.This made Xiao Yan feel a little strange. Old Jack was not a careless person.Xiao Yan stretched out his hand and gently opened the door.

"Grandpa?" There was a slight temptation in his tone.

But what answered Xiao Yan was not the familiar gentle voice, but the voice of the doctor in the village.

"It's Xiaoyan." Dr. Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, you're back. Go and see your grandpa, his body..."

Before Dr. Zhang could continue, Xiao Yan dodged and pushed open the door. Old Jack's pale face was exposed outside the quilt, his eyes tightly closed.

He gently brushed Old Jack's hair with his hand, and used his soul power to sense Old Jack's physical condition.Xiao Yan's brows wrinkled tighter and tighter

"Doctor Zhang, what happened to my grandfather? Why was he so seriously injured?" Xiao Yan's voice was trembling, as if he was suppressing something.

"Hey, come out with me." Doctor Zhang sighed.

Xiao Yan went to the living room with him and moved a stool for Dr. Zhang to sit down.

"Your grandfather's hand and foot meridians have been severed." Perhaps out of pity for Xiao Yan, Dr. Zhang's tone was much softer.

"Who did it?" Xiao Yan's expression was relatively calm, but his tightly clenched fists exposed his heart.

"Your grandpa didn't let me tell you, but I think you always have the right to know. I can tell you, but I hope you won't be impulsive." Doctor Zhang watched Xiao Yan unclench his fist before continuing.

"Just about five months ago, news came from the army that your two brothers were killed in battle."

"Impossible! In recent years, there has been no war between Tiandou and Xingluo!" Xiao Yan's tone was a little excited after interrupting Dr. Zhang's words.

Moreover, my two brothers have the same kind and generous temperament as old Jack, and they will never offend others. There must be other reasons for this.

Doctor Zhang took a deep look at Xiao Yan and said, "Yes, you can imagine it. How could your grandfather not think of it? There was obviously no war, but there was news of the death of your two brothers, and there was not even a body. How could old Jack feel at ease? I originally wanted to persuade him, but he was very stubborn. He quietly followed the soldiers who came to spread the news in the night to the military camp. He was there for a week, and he was sent back by your brother's comrades. When he came back, his hands and feet were All the meridians are broken, and he is dying. I spent almost all the medicinal materials I collected in the past few years to give him a breath and keep him alive until now, because he said he wanted to wait for you to come back."

"It must be painful." Xiao Yan's voice was trembling.

He knew Douluo's Lu's medical level. He had no painkillers and the meridians in his hands and feet were severed. Even if his life was hanging on him, he would be in so much pain.

"Xiao Yan, let me be honest with you. This kind of injury can only be caused by a soul master. I know you can also practice. But you are still too young. I don't want you to blindly seek revenge." Speaking of Doctor Zhang His expression was also a bit complicated, "And your grandfather has probably reached his limit by now, so take good care of him."

"Doctor Zhang, I know, but I won't take revenge until I feel my strength. But does my grandfather really have no other option?" Xiao Yan's eyes revealed persistence and pleading.

He had long regarded this verbose but kind-hearted old man as his relative, but he wanted to watch him die.

"No, Old Jack is just an ordinary person. Even a healing soul master may not be able to cure him well, let alone a little doctor like me." Doctor Zhang shook his head, and after saying that, he picked up the medicine box and walked out of the room. .

Dr. Zhang was a little helpless. He was a doctor, and there was nothing more helpless than being unable to save a patient.Old Jack was a good man, but this man who had done good things all his life was not easy in the end.

Xiao Yan remained silent, with a trace of blood left on the corner of his mouth.It turned out that his clenched teeth made the tip of his tongue bleed, but he had no reaction.After a long time, he turned around and walked into the room, sitting next to Old Jack.

"Grandpa, you must be very tired after persisting for so long. I'm back. I listened to the teacher well at school. But it's not good to be too obedient. I should have come back to see you when you didn't come on time for the first time. ." He wiped the cold sweat from Old Jack's temples with a handkerchief from the basin nearby, "You and your two brothers are so kind, why did you have such a result?"

"Forget it, let me tell you something to make you happy. My soul power is already at level fifteen, just a little slower than the mistress. I shouldn't disappoint you."

"I should work harder. But it seems it's too late to try hard now. If you stop scolding me, maybe I will try harder if you scold me again."

"..."

Xiao Yan stopped talking, and the room suddenly became quiet, and only the weak breathing of Old Jack could be heard.Xiao Yan just looked at Old Jack's face quietly.

It wasn't until evening that someone opened the door and walked in.

"Ayan, would you like to eat something?"

Xiao Yan then looked at the people who came, and it turned out to be Tang San and Xiao Wu, with an apologetic smile on his face: "It's you. Xiao Wu, I'm sorry. My grandpa's health is not very good now. I really can't entertain you. , if there is no place for mistress to sleep, just go to my room. I may have to guard grandpa recently. "

Xiao Wu nodded and said: "It doesn't matter, you don't have to worry about me, just spend more time with Grandpa Jack."

Xiao Wu had a good impression of Old Jack. When he came to school to see Xiao Yan, he also gave her a share of food.

Tang San handed the porridge in his hand to Xiao Yan, "Ayan, you'd better eat some. Grandpa Jack will be sad if he wakes up and sees you like this."

Xiao Yan looked at Tang San and smiled, his smile a little bleak: "Xiao San, you said that grandpa loves me so much, he won't let me live alone, how can he be so relieved?"

Tang San didn't know what to say, maybe thinking of Tang Hao who left him, his expression became a little gloomy, and he put the porridge on the table aside.After bringing out the already cold water, Xiao Wu silently went to help.

Tang San felt sorry for Xiao Yan, but he was also helpless.Even if he had a way to treat Old Jack, he didn't know where to find those precious herbs.

Xiao Yan was still sitting there. He didn't touch the porridge on the table. He just sat there without even bending.

This night seemed to go too fast. Xiao Yan had countless Zhang Danfang flashing through his mind, but he gave up on them all for no other reason than because he was not strong enough.His lack of strength seemed a bit ridiculous to him who was once a Dou Emperor.For the first time, he hated his original self so much. If he had started cultivating his soul power earlier and looked for medicinal materials with similar effects earlier, would old Jack have gotten better?It's a pity that if there was no if, he should have understood this truth in his previous life.

It's starting to get dark.

At this time, Old Jack opened his eyes.Xiao Yan rubbed his eyes, fearing that what happened in front of him was his hallucination.

"Xiao Yan is back?" Old Jack's hoarse voice made Xiao Yan wake up instantly.

"Grandpa, I'm here. Yes, I'm back." Xiao Yanyu's excitement was revealed throughout the scene.

"That's great. I'll wait until you come back."

"It's my fault, I should have come earlier." Xiao Yan held Old Jack's hand, "What does grandpa want to eat? I'll make it for you!"

Old Jack wanted to smile, but this smile consumed all his energy. "When Xiaoyan grows up, I can rest assured."

"Grandpa, what are you talking about? I haven't eaten the food you cooked yet? How can you let me go?" Xiao Yan also wanted to laugh and make old Jack happy like before, because he didn't know what else he could do. Something.

"Xiao Yan, stop joking. I know that you are actually a very obedient child. But grandpa, you will always get old. You are still very young and very talented. You will definitely achieve great things in the future. Don't be like grandpa. In this village You will live there for a lifetime. But your grandpa may not be able to see it in the future."

"You're talking nonsense!" Xiao Yan's nose became a little sore, "Grandpa, tell me, who made you become like this? Dr. Zhang told me."

"This Doctor Zhang! He is a soul master at the level of a soul king. What right do we poor people have to offend him? You are not allowed to seek revenge against him! Do you hear that? Cough cough!" The excited tone made Old Jack cough. He got up, his whole face wrinkled up because of the pain.

Xiao Yan was so frightened that he quickly hugged Old Jack's body and gently stroked Old Jack's back. It took a while before he recovered.

"You kid, you didn't eat last night."

Old Jack's eyes had slowly closed. Xiao Yan felt that something was leaving him, but he had no ability to stop it.

Xiao Yan still stroked his back gently.But even in Xiao Yan's arms, Old Jack's body temperature was still slowly dissipating.

Old Jack's voice echoed in Xiao Yan's ears for a long time. It was not until Xiao Yan could no longer feel Old Jack's temperature that Xiao Yan slowly helped him lie down.

Xiao Yan looked at the bowl of porridge on the table. In the hot summer, one night was enough to make it go rancid.But Xiao Yan didn't care so much. He picked up the bowl of porridge on the table and drank it slowly. "I'll drink it obediently."

But there was no other voice in the room that could answer him.

"I won't be responsible for picking it up."
