Chapter 409

The little boy opened the door to let the little monk in, and then closed the door.

When Tangning entered, she saw that the room was not very big. One room was separated, with the bed on one side, the cooking area on the other, and a dilapidated wooden table in the middle.

On the other side of the bed was an old man lying on the bed. Because the light in the room was a little dim, Tangning couldn't see clearly. She could only smell the smell of medicine and dampness in the room.

"Cough, Xiao An, pour a glass of water for the guests." The old man on the bed coughed and seemed to want to get up, and the little boy hurriedly stepped forward to support him.

"fine."

The old man smiled at the little boy and leaned on the bed, only then did he see that it was a delicate little monk who came in, he couldn't help laughing: "I didn't expect it to be a little master, all these years, there has never been a Buddha. The disciples pass by us, ahem."

As the old man sat up, Tangning saw that he was just an ordinary mortal with no cultivation and was terminally ill. She smiled slightly, and folded her hands in a salute to him: "The little monk has seen the old benefactor, and the old benefactor is unwell, so you should lie down and rest!"

"It doesn't matter, as far as I know, my body has already reached this point, and I won't be able to live for long, cough, cough, cough." General out of breath.

The little boy didn't speak, just sat next to him and patted his back.

Tangning's eyes fell on the little boy again. The little boy was also very keen. Seeing her looking at him, he stared at her defensively. He had never let go of that kind of vigilance since she started in this room. .

She frowned and smiled at him, but the little boy ran to the cooking side with a stubborn face.

Seeing this, she looked at the old man and asked, "Old man, do you know who this child is?"

Listening to the little monk's words, the old man raised his heavy eyelids, glanced at him, and showed a smile: "The little master has good eyesight, and he can see that Xiao An is not the grandson of the old man."

Tangning didn't say anything, she just smiled gently. The little boy was only five or six years old, and the clothes on his body were changed from the old clothes of the old man, but even so, it could not hide his delicate facial features and the aura in his eyes.

She just wondered, how could such a child appear here? Still taking care of such an old man like a candle in the wind?

"Actually, the old man doesn't know where he came from. He only knows that he fell down in the vegetable field that day, and this child didn't know where he came from. He took water for the old man to drink, and also took something to shade the old man. Later, he did not know where he came from. When he left, he said he would stay to take care of him, he said it was a repayment, ahem, the old man didn’t know what kind of favor he was going to repay, and he didn’t say anything if he asked him.”

The old man spoke slowly in a weak voice, occasionally coughing twice, and his eyes fell on the little boy with kindness and gentleness.

"These days, the old man is too sick to get out of bed. He is the one who takes care of him. If it weren't for him, I'm afraid that the old man can't drink hot water even if he wants to, cough, cough, cough."

Hearing this, Tangning nodded, stepped forward to help him lie down, and said, "Old man, lie down first, I'll help, and I'll call you after the meal is ready."

"Cough cough, I'm going to trouble the little master." The old man said, and seemed to be tired, so he slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep.

After helping the old man cover the quilt, Tangning walked to the other side, looking at the vigilant little boy, she couldn't help laughing.
