Volume Four, Volume 48, Chapter 3, Return to Heaven
There is a strong smell of medicine in the air, and in the strong smell of medicine, there is also a fishy smell. This fishy smell comes from the human body and is a sign of the weakening of human vitality and internal organs.
The smell that comes out through the breath after reaching the extreme.
After passing through the two layers of curtains, Zhang Tie smelled this smell. As soon as he smelled this smell, Zhang Tie's heart suddenly sank.
The old man's internal organs have begun to fail and become necrotic. At this time, even if there is an elixir, there is nothing he can do.
In the room, the old man's wife was sitting by the bed with a haggard face and red eyes, looking at the old man lying on the bed dully. A gray-haired doctor was also taking care of him here, checking the old man's pulse from time to time and paying close attention to him at all times.
The situation of the old man.
The eldest lady used to be very imposing at home, and she was also very refined. But this time, when he saw the eldest lady again, Zhang Tie found that the eldest lady seemed to have aged ten years all of a sudden. There were more white hairs on her head, and her face was also dull.
A lot more haggard.
Zhang Tie and Zhang Yang had already put aside the grievances between their elders in the family. Seeing this woman again at this time, Zhang Tie found that this woman was just an ordinary old woman, and he couldn't help but feel a little sympathy in his heart.
"Grandma..." Zhang Su stepped forward and called out.
Hearing Zhang Su's cry, the old lady waited for half a second, then slowly turned her eyes from the old man lying on the bed, and saw Zhang Su and Zhang Tie walking in.
Seeing Zhang Su, the old lady's tears suddenly fell down, and she said with a trembling mouth, "It's good if you come, it's good if you come. The old man just wants to wait to see you two for the last time..."
Zhang Tie just glanced at the bed and sighed in his heart.
The old man was lying on the bed. His originally round face had shriveled up. His eye sockets and cheeks had become completely sunken. His eyebrows and cheekbones were dazzlingly protruding. There were already many age spots on his gray skin.
There were several silver needles stuck in his head, and a piece of ginseng essence was hung with a red thread in his mouth. The whole person's breath was already vague.
Zhang Tie glanced with the Lotus Eye and found that the old man's internal organs had begun to decay, his brain fluid was empty, his whole body was exhausted, and he was really breathing his last breath.
Seeing the old man who had always been strong, who had worked hard for most of his life and built the Zhang family's industry from scratch, Zhang Tie sat on the bedside, gently held the old man's bony hand, and shed tears.
If he hadn't been worried about his own life and death, he might have been able to support himself for a few more years.
"Doctor, the last person the old man wants to see is here. Please let the old man wake up and say a few words to his two grandsons..." The old lady put away her grief and turned to the doctor in the room.
"Madam, the old man is holding his last breath with ginseng essence and silver needles. I will pull out the needle and let the old man wake up. The old man will regain his consciousness. He can last for half an hour at most. There is nothing I can do after that..." the doctor said carefully...
, what this means is that as long as he pulls out the silver needle, it will be the last moment.
"It's okay, I have made the decision on this matter. I know you have tried your best. Please let the old man wake up..." the eldest lady said with choked sobs.
"Okay!" the doctor said, and quickly pulled out a few silver needles on the old man's head. Then he took out the red thread holding the ginseng essence from the old man's mouth, and then used his thumb to insert it into the old man's penis.
He pressed hard on the position, and the old man's eyelids, which were originally closed, trembled, an inexplicable blush appeared on his face, and he slowly opened his eyes.
The old lady asked the people around her to take the doctor down.
"Master, wake up, Zhang Tie and Zhang Su are here..."
"grandfather……"
"grandfather……"
Zhang Tie and Zhang Su were both beside the bed and called softly.
The old man opened his eyes and saw clearly the faces of Zhang Tie and Zhang Su. His dim eyes gradually gained a glimmer of light. Seeing the old man trying to struggle, Zhang Tie and Zhang Su quickly supported the old man and used two
The old man was propped up with pillows and allowed to lean against the head of the bed.
"You go out first... You women have nothing to do here... I have a few words with my two grandsons..." The first thing the old man said when he woke up was to help the old lady who was beside the bed out.
The old lady did not dare to disobey, so she stood up and left the room with the help of the maid.
"Zhang Tie, Zhang Su, you... you are all back..." After watching the old lady leave, the old man spoke tremblingly, his voice was extremely weak, and with just a simple sentence, he started to gasp again.
.
"Grandpa, we are back..." Zhang Tie and Zhang Su both nodded.
"Zhang Su..." The old man panted for a while, then focused his eyes on Zhang Su's face.
"Grandpa, I'm here..." Zhang Su knelt down beside the bed when he heard the old man's call.
"You are the most promising person in the family here... From now on, you will... follow Zhang Tie... The last time Zhang Tie saw me... he said that you are the most promising person in the family... When you become a knight... burn some for me.
Paper money, tell me... let me know that someone in my family is out of control again..."
Tears streamed down Zhang Su's eyes. Hearing the old man's words, Zhang Su closed his lips tightly and nodded vigorously.
"Zhang Tie..."
"I'm here..." Zhang Tie quickly held the old man's hand vigorously.
"They... they said you are now... now a Phantom Knight..."
"Yes... He is already a Phantom Knight!" Zhang Tie nodded.
"Even the Superintendent...can't beat you!"
"Can't beat him!" Zhang Dian shed tears and nodded vigorously.
"I heard... I heard that several knights from the Demon Clan who were as powerful as the Governor... and a prince from the Demon Clan... were slaughtered by you on the edge of the Wei River... by killing chickens and dogs...
...You also saved many people..."
"Yes...I didn't embarrass our Zhang family!"
"That...that divine master...is it powerful?" A trace of fascination flashed in the old man's eyes.
"It's amazing. It can fly everywhere and no one can beat it!"
"That's good... that's good... I feel relieved to have you at home..." After the old man said this, he began to pant violently again, and his face turned red. Zhang Tie quickly helped the old man calm down, and the old man took a while to calm down.
Come here, "Two more things..."
"Grandpa, tell me, I'm listening!"
"I have also seen your children... Alexander and the others... they are your blood... they also bleed... the blood of the Zhang family... they have to have the surname Zhang, and to be included in the genealogy, they have to have Hua.
The name of the clan..."
"Grandpa, don't worry, I will give them Chinese names right now. They are all named Zhang, and they will all be listed in the family tree!"
"Lao Zhai... the people here in Lao Zhai... from now on... you will pay more attention to those who are not successful, just give them a bowl of rice to eat... when the world is in chaos... don't let them starve to death.
When you are... mature... you will also help you... guard the family business... After all, blood is thicker than water... I know that in this family, major events in the future... are up to you... you will support... let Zhang Su help
With you...I'm not afraid if the sky falls...I'm also at ease."
"Grandpa, don't worry, everyone here in the old house is from the Zhang family, I will keep an eye on it!" Zhang Tie nodded.
"Okay... okay... okay..." The old man nodded and said three words in a row, "Open the curtain... let them all come in... make it more lively..."
Zhang Su stood up, opened the heavy curtains in the room, and let people from outside come in.
Zhang Tie's parents, Zhang Yang, and all the uncles and aunts from the old house came in. Everyone knew that this was the last moment, so they all forced themselves to smile.
The old man was in good spirits and said a few words to everyone.
"My mouth is a bit bitter... Do you have iced bayberry soup..." After the old man talked for a few minutes, he became weak and wanted to drink something.
As soon as I heard that the old man wanted to drink iced bayberry soup, someone immediately ran out, and in the blink of an eye, the iced bayberry soup was served.
The iced bayberry soup had just been served when the old man suddenly pointed to the door of the room and said to Zhang Tie's father, "Ah, Zhang Ping, your mother is here to pick me up..."
Zhang Ping's mother is Zhang Tie's biological grandmother and the old man's fourth wife. She has been dead for many years and neither Zhang Tie nor Zhang Yang have seen her.
Hearing the old man's words, many people in the room felt the hairs on their bodies stand up. Everyone turned to look at the door of the room. The door was empty. When they turned around, they saw that Mr. Zhang Haitian had closed his eyes and was not breathing. The last one was brought
I haven’t even had a chance to take a sip of the iced bayberry soup...
