Ning Fan, wearing a plain shirt and cloth shoes, stands tall and tall, with a big thick braid hanging casually on his right shoulder, as clear as the elegant moon and as light as mist.

Those pair of eyes that are extremely clear, like pearls that are not stained by dust and smoke, make people feel ashamed and dare not look into them.

Concubine Ju couldn't help but feel frightened when she saw her appearing so suddenly without even noticing her. Her whole body tensed up instantly, like a beast that sensed danger, with a cold and sharp light shining in her eyes.

Sun Zhongmou was also the first to see this legendary figure from the Yan family. His eyes suddenly lit up and he chuckled softly: "This is the legendary Ning Fan who is as ethereal as an immortal in Yanjing City. Sure enough, it is better to meet him than to be famous. Sun Zhongmou

…”

"go out."

Ning Fan looked at him calmly, just like looking at a tree or a stone, or these two words, neither salty nor bland. The disregard in his eyes and the indifference in his tone made Sun Zhongmou a little more confident and arrogant.

It was too much to bear, especially those eyes as clear as water, which had the miraculous effect of "pointing directly to people's hearts" in Buddhism. It made him feel like he had done something bad and was caught on the spot. It was really hard to resist, and he avoided it for the first time in his life.

A person's gaze.

"Little aunt..."

Yan Xu wanted to argue a few words, but Ning Fan just glanced at him. He immediately turned his head to the side like a deflated ball, but could no longer say the next words.

"Zhong Mou, Master, please go to the front hall and take your seats first. The banquet is about to begin. Please forgive me for not taking good care of you."

Behind Ning Fan, Yan Hongqiang, whose face was full of sorrow and determination, also flashed out, and his eyes were cast directly on the old man's skinny body lying on the hospital bed. The iron-clad man couldn't help but sway slightly, and what he said in his mouth was very simple, but

But there is no doubt about it.

"Uncle Four!"

Yan Xu's expression changed, and he hurriedly stepped forward and said that he was not afraid of all the elders in the family, but he was most afraid of his fourth uncle, the army commander who was unsmiling and cold-faced.

"Xiao Xu, please invite your father, third uncle, and sixth aunt to come over. Let your eldest brother Yan Xun stand in front of you." Yan Hongqiang said, without squinting, with red eyes, and walked straight to his father's bed.

, tremblingly held Mr. Yan’s right hand.

"Uncle Yan, birth, old age, illness and death are all human nature. What's more, Grandpa Yan's body has not yet reached the point where it is truly exhausted..."

"So we have to use the 'Five Dragon Absolute Needles' to completely exhaust his old man's health and longevity?!"

Yan Hongqiang turned back suddenly, interrupted Sun Zhongmou angrily, took a deep breath, pointed to the door, "Zhongmou, thank you for your kindness, but if there is no other way, please go and sit in the front hall first.

Not sending it."

Others don't know what the "Five Dragon Absolute Needles" is about, but he, Yan Hongqiang, happens to know that an old leader of his army is a believer in Xianshou Town. He is seriously ill. He should be treated well and recover according to normal medical treatment.

It is not a problem to live for another three to five years, but it is just that I have difficulty moving and need someone to take care of me. The result is to use the "Five Dragons Absolute Needle" from Xianshou Town.

, the person was alive and kicking like a normal person again, but within two months, he died immediately after a fall. Because the essence was advanced in advance, not even a minute was left for his family, because he did not explain the funeral arrangements.

Now there is a lot of turmoil in the family, and a huge military family has fallen apart in an instant.

Sun Zhongmou was choked and his expression changed slightly, and he quickly exchanged a look with Concubine Ju. Concubine Ju shook her head helplessly.

Among the seven health-preserving methods that she is good at in Xianshou Town are "preservation of essence", "feeding" and "feeding from the sky", but these three are usually not able to treat serious diseases. They all require a process of persistence. It is said that

The acupuncture method that is really effective is the "Five Dragon Absolute Acupuncture" set. In fact, if there is any other method, there is still one, that is, "Double Cultivation and Essence"**, which forcibly transfers the essence of her body through hard cultivation.

Give the old man some.

But this method doesn't work at all. If she dares to say that she will take off her clothes and have sex with the old man, he will be alive and kicking. It is estimated that Yan Hongqiang will dare to lead troops to surround her in Xianshou Town tomorrow!

"Fourth Uncle Yan, I would like to express my condolences. My nephew will take his leave now."

Although Sun Zhongmou was extremely unhappy and unwilling to give up, the etiquette was still in place. After finishing speaking, he nodded with Yan Xu and Ning Fan respectively, and then left with Concubine Ju.

…

In the backyard, the easternmost small courtyard, the atmosphere was heavy at this time. Yan Xingbang, the deputy director of the Central Propaganda Department, had a sullen face and rushed through the gate of the small courtyard at almost a trot speed until he reached the main room next door.

Four or five meters away, he slowed down.

The playboy Yan Kai stood at the door with a rare expression of solemnity. When he saw his father coming, he hurriedly greeted him.

"How is your grandpa now?" Yan Zhibang asked eagerly as he walked.

If Yan Xu hadn't told him, he really wouldn't have known that the old man was in this situation. Just now, he was wondering why an old friend's visit could lead to a conversation like this. There were so many old subordinates in the front hall waiting to greet him and wish him a birthday.

It stands to reason that you should come out and show your face. It is really against the rules to keep talking in there.

"The situation is not very optimistic. Earlier, several old doctors from the Health Bureau came to see me." Yan Kai replied, with a trace of sadness in his eyes.

Yan Xingbang said nothing and went straight into the house. Inside, Yan Rong was crying and questioning his second brother Yan Xingguo:

"Second brother, my father is like this, why didn't he send him to the hospital? Also, why did you hide such a big thing from the rest of us? If it weren't for Chu Hai, Dad's personal guard, who couldn't hold back and secretly went to the front to tell the four

Brother, we are still in the dark."

"Sixth Aunt, Grandpa didn't let me tell you, and he didn't want to go to the hospital. He said that life lasts for a long time, and he has lived to be ninety years old. He is very satisfied. He doesn't want to go anywhere now.

I just want to stay at home." Yan Rong argued in a low voice when she saw her father frowning and smoking muffledly.

"Let me ask your father! No matter how big or small, what are you doing when adults are talking..." Yan Rong said angrily while wiping her tears.

"That's enough, Yan Rong. The second brother can't help it, that's what father wants." Yan Hong shouted forcefully.

"What does father mean? Could it be that he secretly invited that witchcraft demon from Xianshou Town without telling us, and used magic to overdraft his father's life? Is that what father meant?" Yan Rong has been loved by her father since she was a child, and suddenly she saw her father like this.

My heart was filled with grief, and I was already a little incoherent and hysterical.

"Shut up! Yan Rong! Why don't you understand second brother's heart? Second brother is doing this for our Yan family. Listen to the voice in the front hall. In this situation, if the old man can't stand up, we will become the laughing stock of Yanjing today.

Do you believe that I will be removed from the Six Families tomorrow?" Yan Xingbang was so angry that he shed tears as he spoke.

"Everyone, please stop arguing. In fact, according to the opinions of the elderly people at the Health Bureau, there is no need to go to the hospital for treatment. They said that Dad is already old and has too many old health problems. Dad is a man

He is also stubborn and refuses to cooperate with Western medical treatment. Once he gets sick, there is no cure, so, so..."

Yan Xingguo, secretary of the provincial party committee of a heavily industrialized province in the north and the second generation leader of the Yan family, put out his cigarette butt and said seriously. At this time, no one could imagine the heavy burden and pressure he now carries.

When Yan Kai heard this, his eyes immediately turned red.

Although the grandfather has always been very serious in his impression, he lacks the kindness of ordinary people's elders, and is very strict with him. Usually Yan Kai is mostly in awe of him, and he doesn't dare to go home if nothing happens, but he really takes it seriously

When the grandfather was about to leave, Yan Kai realized that he was so deeply attached to and loved this old man.

The heating in the bedroom was turned on at full speed. The old general of the Republic, who was once all-powerful, was lying quietly on the bed with an oxygen tube in his nose and an intravenous drip in his hand.

The majesty and momentum he once had have gradually faded away with the passage of life. At this time, like all the old people on their deathbed, he was lying quietly on the bed, weak and old, waiting for death without any resistance.

advent.

In addition to the old man, the most important members of the Yan family have already arrived in the room. The front hall outside is noisy and lively. It is all due to the encouragement and support of Yan Xun and a few juniors. It is estimated that they will not be able to hold on for long. Inside the room, however,

Falling into deathly silence.

"Old man, why are you lying there pretending to be dead? My little brother Zhiyuan is no longer here today. He was shot for you. Is it possible that you have to leave today? I don't want to, hurry up and jump to my feet. I can still live my ninetieth birthday.

If you don’t pass, why should you die?”

At this moment, Song Qing, whose eyes were red, helped the old lady and walked in. The old lady had not arrived yet, but if she had the confidence, she would have arrived first.

When the family saw the wife arriving, the tears in their eyes couldn't help but fall down.

"Cry, why are you crying? Your father is not dead yet!"

The old lady pushed Song Qing away and walked with trembling steps to the bed where the old man was lying quietly. She saw that he had his eyes closed, his breathing was weak, his face was dry and dull, and the age spots on his skin were particularly dazzling. Even though she looked after him,

The feelings of life and death, at this moment, the muddy old tears couldn't stop flowing down.

Perhaps sensing the presence of his wife, the old man opened his eyes with difficulty, glanced at the old lady, and said in a weak voice: "You're here."

With great difficulty, he stretched out his hand and wiped away the tears on his wife's face. He moved his lips and wanted to laugh, but he didn't. He said weakly: "...It's very good. He's still as noisy as usual."

"Dad, I'm back." Yan Hongqiang was worried about the separation between life and death. The two old people were too excited and something was wrong with the old lady. She hurriedly stepped forward to hold her father's hand, but tears finally fell down.

"Hong Qiang...have you forgotten what I said? A man should bleed but not shed tears. You are a soldier of the Republic..." the old man said with difficulty.

"Fourth brother, it's rare that dad is awake now. Please ask him quickly if he has anything to explain? Is there any wish that you would like us to help fulfill?" Seeing that her father suddenly regained consciousness at this time, Yan Rong hurriedly followed her second brother Yan Xingguo.

A reminder whispered in my ear.

Yan Hongqiang also had this intention. He suppressed the sadness in his heart and put his ear to the old man's mouth. After listening to a few sentences, the old man closed his eyes again and mumbled something that no one could understand.

He kept talking for three or four minutes before falling asleep again.
