In late autumn, everything dies.

The wind blew through the old trees in the courtyard, causing the dead leaves to fly.

The maid in the courtyard wiped the invisible sweat on her forehead, stopped the broom in her hand, looked at the courtyard door, and smiled when she saw who was coming, "Xiao Lu, are you here to deliver medicine today?"

The little attendant who has been following the two ladies, Xiao Lu, is a high-ranking servant in the family. During this time, he often visited the master on behalf of the ladies, delivering medicine and taking care of them.

"Sister Xiaolan, thank you for your hard work. Are you able to sweep away all the fallen leaves?"

Xiao Lu was carrying the plate and was in no hurry to enter the room.

"The master has just finished cleaning here and is preparing to go to the lady's place. I don't know if he can finish the work before dark."

Xiao Lan sighed.

"There are no instructions from Miss. After delivering the medicine, I will help you clean up the rest. You can go to Miss's side first."

Xiao Lu said with a smile, his smile was very innocent, like a half-grown child.

When Xiao Lan heard this, her face showed an expression of surprise, "Really?"

"We are all servants and we have to help each other."

Xiao Lu smiled shyly.

"Thank you very much. I'll go to the lady first."

Xiaolan thanked her, swept the fallen leaves into the dustpan, and left the yard.

Xiao Lu calmed down after the other party left. Unexpectedly, at this time, Xiao Lan has not left yet. This is not the senior brother's person. Today's plan officially begins. If he messes up, he will be skinned.

He knocked on the door and saw no response, "Master, I'm in."

After saying that, he opened the door directly and went in.

After taking the medicine for two consecutive weeks, my body became stiffer and stiffer, and I spent more time sleeping every day. It was normal for me to have no reaction.

The medicine on his plate is today's killer, the last taste.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but admire his senior brother. Over the years, he has been taking hidden medicines to make his body deteriorate without being noticed. In the past few weeks, he has been using special medicines continuously. There is no problem if he takes them separately. He also replenishes his body.

function.

But if they are mixed together and combined with the last medicine in his hand today, it can make a person's body completely stiff and unable to move for at least several days, and it is difficult to even use spiritual power.

"Master, master, wake up, it's time to take medicine."

Xiaolu put the plate on the bedside table and gently pushed Dongfang's old master, trying to wake him up.

The head of the Dongfang family woke up leisurely and opened his eyes to see the person in front of him. He was a little disappointed, "It's Xiao Lu..."

"Elder brother is not out of seclusion today. Xiao Cui is ill. The young lady asked me to take care of the master."

Xiao Lu explained.

"Hel me up."

The old head of the family said slowly, it was a bit difficult for him to hold himself up now, and the spiritual power in his body seemed to be withering.

Xiao Lu carefully lifted the old master up, leaned against the head of the bed, picked up the medicine bowl, and prepared to start giving medicine.

"Where are Huaizhu and Qin Lan?"

Instead of taking medicine, the old family owner first asked about his daughter's whereabouts, which made Xiao Lu tremble in his heart.

But he suppressed his expression and said, "Miss Huaizhu just came back from outside. After dinner, she is taking a bath with Miss Qin Lan. She should have a rest directly afterwards."

"That's it..."

The old head of the family said calmly, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

He has been feeling worse than ever lately. He originally thought he could survive for a few more years after recovering from his illness, but judging from the situation, he may not have much time left.

He was so ill, but neither of his daughters came to see him, which was really heartbreaking.

But these days, Feng'er was told by himself to practice hard, and there were fewer and fewer of them.

People like to think too much when they are old, and they feel that their end is approaching, and they always feel inexplicably sad.

Alas, that's all, I told Feng'er not to come all the time.

"Master, medicine..."

Xiao Lu took a spoonful and asked anxiously.

"Oh, medicine..."

The old patriarch said slowly, making Xiao Lu tremble in his heart, thinking that he had exposed a flaw, or that his senior brother's plan had been exposed?

"Xiao Lu, hand it over."

The old master said slowly.

Seeing that the old master was preparing to take medicine, Xiao Lu gradually relaxed his mind, approached the old master, and began to carefully feed the medicine.

After drinking the medicine, the old master slowly exhaled and said, "Xiao Lu, go and call your senior brother over. Also, ask Huaizhu and Qin Lan to come to me after taking a bath."

He was afraid that he would die before winter, so while his mind was still clear and his body was still barely able to control himself, he was ready to explain his funeral arrangements.

Originally, he thought that when he recovered from his illness, he would tell Huaizhu about the marriage proposal from Wang Quan's family and give his daughter a surprise, but instead he watched his daughter marry into Wang Quan's family in a glorious manner.

If my health keeps up, I might be able to have a grandchild in a few years.

I didn't expect that my health was getting worse and worse. It would be better to make arrangements early.

"The little one will go right away."

Xiao Lu put away the plate, and the clothes on his back were already soaked. He finally completed the task given to him by his senior brother.

After taking this last medicine, within an hour, the old family master's body will become completely rigid and he will no longer be able to resist.

Senior brother observed the sky last night and said that tonight there will be a rare heavy rain in autumn. All the senior people in Shenhuo Manor are already in preparation, just waiting for it to happen.

He came to the courtyard and looked at the fallen leaves that were growing on the ground. Without even looking at them, he just left with the plate in hand.

sweep the floor?

From now on, I will be the chief steward of the Shenhuo Mountain Villa. How can it be my turn to do something like this?

boom

Thunder exploded in the sky, the clouds were thick, the sun had just set, and the heavy rain seemed to be coming.

He carefully looked around on the way, came to the courtyard where his senior brother was, and knocked on the door lightly.

"Enter."

Jin Renfeng was sitting on a finely crafted chair in the room, playing with two beads in her hands, feeling happy.

"How did things go?"

Jin Renfeng asked calmly without looking at Xiao Lu.

Xiao Luzhan replied tremblingly: "Back to senior brother, I have already given you the medicine."

"He's not suspicious, is he?"

Jin Renfeng's heart dropped, and the heat was somewhat uncontrollable.

"Probably...no."

Xiao Lu recalled the master's performance today. Apart from saying a few words, he didn't seem suspicious at all. The most important thing was that he took the medicine.

Jin Renfeng waved her sleeves, and the strong wind fanned Xiao Lu to the ground, "What do you mean should!? You should know what we are doing today!"

Xiao Lu Gun climbed up and said, "No, the old master didn't become suspicious. He took medicine and told his senior brothers and ladies to go find him."

Jin Renfeng took a deep breath and felt that he was too easily excited today, which was not good. He stretched out his hand to help Xiao Lu up, "You didn't inform junior sister, did you?"

Xiao Lu quickly shook his head, "Of course not."

Jin Renfeng nodded with satisfaction, "You're quite thoughtful."

"Senior brother, who are we next?"

Xiao Lu asked from the side.

Jin Renfeng sat back on the chair, raised her head, closed her eyes and rested, "Wait."

"yes."

Xiao Lu stood aside with his head lowered.

Thunder was thundering outside, rain was pouring down, and the sound of rain hitting the ground was endless, inducing people to fall asleep.

Jin Renfeng was very patient. He was waiting for the rain to fall harder and for the medicine to take full effect.

He has been waiting for so many years, and this is the time.

The rain was falling so hard that it seemed like the only sound between heaven and earth was the sound of thunder and rain.

When the time was almost up, Jin Renfeng opened her eyes and said with some laziness and emotion, "It's raining so hard today."

The two beads in his hand kept rotating, "It's good to be crazy, it's good to be crazy..."
