Shaw House.

Xiao Zhenshan sat alone in the hall, staring at the ground in a daze, motionless, like a statue.

In his hand, there was a white jade-like teacup, and at this time, the residual tea had cooled and the aroma had disappeared early.

The footsteps sounded, and the housekeeper came to report: "Master, the two sons of Daoyuan and Lei Luo are coming to visit." ”

Xiao Zhenshan came back to his senses, his spirit shook slightly, and he ordered: "Please let them in." ”

"Yes. The butler agreed, and turned to leave the hall.

Xiao Zhenshan got up from his chair and slowly walked to the door of the hall.

Moments later, the two arrived.

Seeing that the old man's body that used to be as tall as a pine has now become a little rickety, and the whole person seems to have aged for dozens of years in an instant, both of them can't help but sigh secretly.

After the two sides met, Dao Yuan asked first: "Old man, how is the little situation now?"

Xiao Zhenshan sighed: "It's not good!"

"What did the doctor say?"

"I don't know the cause, I can't do anything. Xiao Zhenshan's tone was filled with endless exhaustion: "In the past two months, I have invited all the famous doctors in the city, but the results are ...... Alas, let's not talk about this for now, you can come, it shows that there is a lot of affection with Xiaoxiao, so let's go and see him first!"

Under the personal guidance of Xiao Zhenshan, the two came to Xiao's small bedroom.

The room of the young master of the Xiao family is naturally not an ordinary place.

Needless to say, the interior is spacious and bright, and all the furniture applications are of the highest quality, antique, luxurious and elegant, which makes people shine at first sight.

It can be seen that this layout must have been designed and arranged, otherwise, with the little thing in Xiaoxiao's belly, there would never be such a taste.

It's just that at this moment, there is a faint sandalwood fragrance in the room, and there is a kind of medicinal fragrance that is like nothing, if it weren't for Dao Yuan's sensitivity to this, it would be really hard to notice.

When the two maidservants, who had been waiting beside them, saw the arrival of a guest, they bowed and withdrew.

Xiao Zhenshan walked to the table and sat down with heavy steps, and when his eyes swept over the bedside, he unconsciously showed a hint of regret.

At this time, Xiao Xiaoxiao looked very haggard, his eye sockets were deep, his cheeks were dry, and the whole person seemed to have shrunk a lot, which could definitely be described as a pinned bone and skinny.

Dao Yuan looked at it for a moment, stretched out his hand to probe his breath, and found that his breath was like a gossamer, intermittent, as if the next moment would be gone, and he couldn't help but secretly wonder. Then he put his pulse on his wrist and concentrated on it.

After a moment, he opened his eyes and frowned silently.

Lei Luo was anxious in his heart, and asked tentatively, "How?"

Dao Yuan didn't speak, just shook his head slowly.

Xiao Zhenshan saw it in the back, and a trace of expectation in his heart was gone, and his body that had been tense relaxed.

He heard that Xiao Xiaodao Yuan knew medical skills, and he seemed to be very clever - of course, in his heart, no matter how powerful Dao Yuan was, he would not surpass the famous doctors he invited.

The reason why they brought the two of them here without saying a few words is nothing more than to hope for a fluke, and when people are exhausted and have nothing to do, they will not give up even if there is a glimmer of hope.

You can see the current situation......

"Alas......!"

These days, sighing has almost become Xiao Zhenshan's most accustomed and unaware action, but I am afraid that the previous decades combined are not as much as in these two months.

When Lei Luo heard this, he comforted: "Don't be anxious, there will always be a solution to things." Besides, although the little man seems to be uninhibited, he is actually kind-hearted and warm-hearted, I think this is just a tempering of God for him, and he will never die because of this. ”

Xiao Zhenshan smiled bitterly: "It's a pity, there are many times when God will not bless good people. I, Xiao Zhenshan, asked myself about my life, and I was ashamed to look up, especially things like that to repair bridges and roads, and help the poor, I don't know how much I have done in this life, but it is coming...... Alas, it's all fate!"

When the two heard this, they couldn't help but glance at each other, and they both felt the despair implied in this sentence, and they couldn't help but wonder in their hearts.

Dao Yuan frowned slightly, and said: "You have always been in charge of the huge family with the strength of one person, and you have experienced many hardships and dangers, even if others don't say it, the younger generation can guess it, but why are you so disheartened and have no confidence now?"

Xiao Zhenshan motioned for the two to sit down, stunned for a long time, and then said, "This time is different from the past. At that time, the old man was in the prime of life, and it was the time when the edge was revealed, full of momentum, and complacent, so even in the face of many deceits and undercurrent turbulence, he was not cowardly. ”

"However, as I get older and older, I often feel that my mental strength is insufficient, and my follow-up is weak, and if I don't still have some cultivation, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on to it for a long time! Especially in the last ten years, this situation has become more and more serious......

"Perhaps, you are a little puzzled, I am the head of a family, and my cultivation is not weak, why is this happening! Alas! Actually, sometimes even I don't understand, maybe it's because of the pressure I've been under over the years!"

Xiao Zhenshan's eyes showed a hint of pain, as if he had a sullen breath in his heart, he didn't vomit or feel unhappy, and said to himself: "The soul of my wife who has been with me for many years has returned to heaven, which has made me sad. But I am the head of the family, no matter how sad I am, I must hold on, and as soon as I fall, this family will be scattered!"

"Actually, I also understand that sooner or later everyone will have such a day, and at my age, this kind of thing is actually taken lightly. If it's gone, it's gone, and for her, it's not necessarily a bad thing. ”

Later, the little mother died in childbirth, which made the family who should be happy become miserable and desolate. You haven't married yet, and you don't know how important a good woman is to a family! The death of their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has made the family bleak and even worse. ”

"And what makes me most sad is that my son is not angry, he is looking for fun all day long, and he doesn't return home at night, and he is a complete loser! Because of this, my Xiao family was once reduced to the laughing stock of the eight major families!"

"Perhaps, it's also my dad who failed too much to educate his son, so that in the end, that bastard got sick outside, and finally the medicine stone was hopeless, and his life was infected with Huangquan......"

Speaking of this, in Xiao Zhenshan's voice, there was not only deep self-blame, but also anger that hatred of iron and steel, and even extreme sadness and resentment.

Lei Luo grinned, and secretly said that with your old situation, you can continue to marry again, as long as you have that mind and physical strength, it is now to marry three or five women to fill the house, it is also a very easy thing to do - although this thing seems to be a little unpleasant to say.

In this way, it is better than guarding the little single seedling! If he really has three longs and two shorts this time, you won't have a place to cry!

But looking at Xiao Zhenshan's appearance, he thought about it, and finally couldn't help but say nothing.

Xiao Zhenshan naturally didn't know what he was thinking, paused for a moment, and continued: "The white-haired person sends the black-haired person, one after another, this kind of blow is not something that anyone can bear. Fortunately, the small birth brought me a glimmer of light. ”

"At that time, my only hope fell on Xiaoxiao, hoping that he would grow up well and inherit the family business, although I didn't expect him to glorify his ancestors, at least he would marry a wife and have children, and spread out his branches, so that I could rely on my old age and enjoy the blessings in my twilight years, so that when I died, I didn't even have a person to support the coffin. ”

"But now, one of his feet has stepped into the ghost gate, seeing that there is no way to return to the soul and time is short, even if I have tens of millions of family fortunes, I am also powerless and helpless!

Xiao Zhenshan's expression gradually became hideous due to the pain, and he tried his best to suppress the pain and anger, and said in a deep voice: "So, I want revenge!"
