Chapter 31
But after a while, the door was suddenly knocked open, and Zhao Xue fell in carrying a strange old man on his back.

The old man was bleeding from all his orifices and his breath was weak. Zhao Xue got up from the ground with a pale face and dragged the old man inside. Tao Ziqiang got out of bed and went to help, closing the door in time before the sound of the oriole's cry could be heard.

Yi'er jumped out of bed with her short legs fluttering and rushed towards the old man: "Grandpa Zhou, Grandpa Zhou!"

Zhao Xue stopped him and said softly: "Good boy, Grandpa Zhou is not feeling well now. Don't touch him, okay?"

Yi'er nodded obediently and looked at the old man eagerly.

Tao Zi leaned against the door, and Zhao Xue looked at her: "Sister, I have to go out again. Grandpa Zhou and Yi'er will be taken care of by senior sister."

She looked at the weak appearance of the third junior brother and frowned: "No, you look like you can't hold on any longer."

Zhao Xue shook his head firmly and said, "If I don't go find Master, Grandpa Zhou won't survive."

Tao Zi's frown deepened. She walked over to the old man and did a rough inspection. Most of his meridians were broken, his heart was beating too fast, and his breathing was intermittent. Unless the master had a way to defy heaven, he would definitely die.

Seeing this junior brother preparing to go out, she sighed and tried to dissuade him: "Third junior brother, you should also be able to tell that it's too late."

Zhao Xue's eyes suddenly turned red and he said stubbornly: "How will you know if you don't try?"

"Look at your current state, can you still get out? Once you get out, you will die on the road."

"What do you know? That's my grandpa who watched me grow up!" He lost his usual gentle expression, turned around and opened the door regardless.

"Little Xue."

Grandpa Zhou's vague voice sounded, and he stopped stiffly, but put his hand on the door, expecting to open the door at any time.

The old man raised his hand and said with his last bit of strength: "Stop, do you want me to die in peace?"

Zhao Xue turned around, with tears in his eyes: "Grandpa Zhou, if there is still a chance, please hold on a little longer."

He waved his hand very slightly: "I can't hold it anymore, my time has come, so let's do it."

Zhao Xue gritted his teeth and refused to listen. He turned around and opened the door and ran out.

Grandpa Zhou looked at his actions, and the hand that had been reluctantly left in the air fell down.

Tao Zi closed her eyes and shouted angrily: "Zhao Xue, come back here, this old man has left!"

He looked over in disbelief, and heard a faint cry of an oriole.

Her throat felt sweet, she vomited out a mouthful of blood, and she fainted.

Zhao Xue seemed to have woken up from a dream and hurriedly closed the door. His trembling voice said: "Senior Sister."

She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and said coldly: "I didn't lie to you, come and see for yourself."

He stared blankly at the old man on the ground, but did not dare to come over. He called Grandpa Zhou again and again, but there was no response. In the end, he collapsed and leaned against the door and cried.

Tao Zi picked up Yi'er and sat back on the bed. Looking at this junior brother's embarrassed appearance, the irritability in his heart gradually dissipated.

He's just a teenager, how can he weigh the pros and cons in this kind of thing? It's normal to act recklessly without regard for the consequences.

She exhaled slowly, put Yi'er on the bed, and walked over to fulfill her eldest sister's responsibilities.

"Xiao Xue, you have tried your best. Some things cannot be stopped." An extremely gentle voice sounded in Zhao Xue's ears. His crying continued, and Tao Zi kept comforting him, even though he was very unwell. .

I don't know how long it took, but Zhao Xue finally recovered. She said softly: "Go over there. The old man has been worried about you and hasn't even closed his eyes."

Die without regret, really do not die with peace in mind.

He knelt down in front of Grandpa Zhou and helped him close his eyes: "Grandpa Zhou, I'm not going out. You can go in peace."

Tao Zi watched quietly from the side until he stood up.

Zhao Xue looked at her and realized that her face was extremely pale. Remembering that she had just vomited blood, his expression changed and he said in a hoarse voice: "Sister, please sit down and rest quickly."

Tao Zi looked at him with worry: "Are you relieved?"

"Sister, I'm sorry, I just..."

He didn't say everything, but she knew what he wanted to say, and it was nothing more than making her vomit blood or ignoring her.However, she was angry with Asahi Kamen for the former, but she didn't care for the latter - even though she was his senior sister, strictly speaking, they were just strangers who had known each other for a short time. If he ignored someone like her, If you lose the old man who watched you grow up, then he will most likely be the next white-eyed wolf.

Tao Zi helped him sit down with concern and said, "It's nothing serious for me, but it's you. Don't be too sad."

Seeing the gentle and considerate look of the senior sister, Zhao Xue felt even more ashamed. Although the senior sister was so considerate, he had just yelled at her.

He should have said some more words of apology, but when he saw the old man lying on the ground, sadness hit his heart again. He choked with sobs and said, "Senior Sister, I want to carry Grandpa Zhou up."

"Should be."

Tao Zi followed Shan Ruliu and carried Yi'er to the chair.If Zhao Xue looked back at her, he would find that the senior sister he thought was gentle and considerate was now extremely calm, with her head lowered as if she was thinking about something.

After a while, Yi'er opened her eyes and smiled gently: "Is Yi'er awake?"

Yi'er held her hand and called her sister in a small voice. Then she looked at her grandfather on the bed and called out uneasily: "Grandpa Zhou."

Although this child is young, he is already sensible.

Tao Zi patted his back and said, "Grandpa Zhou, like my father and mother, has gone to a far away place. Brother Zhao misses Grandpa Zhou now, so don't go there."

Yi'er asked nervously and expectantly: "Can Yi'er see them again in the future?"

"Of course you can, but it will take a long time."

After Zhao Xue settled Grandpa Zhou, she tried to ask: "Junior brother, what on earth is going on?"

He whispered: "That's Xu Jiamen domesticating new mecha weapons."

Tao Zi frowned and seemed a little confused. He further explained: "In the past, Xujiamen's mechas were made of materials such as iron and copper. But in recent years, they have made more use of mechas." The weapon has elements of spiritual beasts added to it. Those spiritual beasts are difficult to tame, so they often attack, and those attacks can be transmitted very far with the blessing of the mecha."

"What about this cry?"

He was silent for a moment, with a look of disgust on his face, and said: "As far as my junior brother knows, this is the Warbler-throated mecha. The parts above the throat of the Lieying Warbler are removed, and special methods are used to maintain their vitality and are installed into the mecha. ."

Her face darkened little by little. Sure enough, it was the same trick again. This Xujiamen was really stubborn and disgusting.
