Castle of Black Iron

Volume 48 Chapter 3

There is a strong smell of medicine in the air, and in that strong smell of medicine, there is also a smell of stench and corruption. This smell of stench and corruption comes from the human body, and it is the weakening of human vitality and internal organs to the extreme. The smell that comes out through the breath afterwards.

After passing through two layers of curtains, Zhang Tie smelled this smell, and Zhang Tie's heart sank suddenly as soon as he smelled this smell.

The function of the old man's viscera has begun to fail and necrosis. At this time, even if there is an elixir, it will be useless.

In the room, the old man's wife was sitting on the edge of the bed with a haggard face and red eyes. She looked at the old man lying on the bed dully. There was a gray-haired doctor who was also taking care of him here. With the old man's situation.

The eldest lady used to be very imposing at home, and she was also very delicate, but at this time, seeing her again, Zhang Tie found that the eldest lady seemed to be ten years older all of a sudden, with more white hair on her head, and bruises on her face. haggard a lot.

Zhang Tie and Zhang Yang had already let go of the grievances of the previous generations in the family. Seeing this woman again at this time, Zhang Tie found that this woman, that is, an ordinary old woman, couldn't help feeling a little sympathy in his heart.

"Grandma..." Zhang Su stepped forward and called out.

Hearing Zhang Su's cry, the old lady slowed down for half a second, then slowly turned her eyes from the old man lying on the bed, and saw Zhang Su and Zhang Tie who were walking in.

Seeing Zhang Su, the old lady burst into tears, and said with a trembling mouth, "It's good that you come, it's good that you come, the old man just wants 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, his eye sockets and cheeks had been completely sunken, his eyebrows and cheekbones protruded harshly, and many age spots had grown on his ashen skin. There are a few silver needles pierced in his head, and a piece of ginseng essence is hanging from his mouth with a red thread, and the breath of the whole person is already indistinct.

Zhang Tie glanced with the eyes of the lotus flower, 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 really had his last breath left.

Looking at the old man who has always been strong and worked hard for most of his life, starting from scratch to build up the Zhang family's property, Zhang Tie sat on the side of the bed, gently holding the old man's bony hand, and tears came down.

If it wasn't for his life and death being uncertain and the old man worrying too much, I'm afraid the old man could support him for a few more years.

"doctor,

The last person the old man wants to see is here, let the old man wake up and say a few words to his two grandsons..." The old lady put away her grief, turned her head and said to the doctor in the room.

"Ma'am, the old man is holding his last breath with ginseng essence and silver needles. I pull out the needle and let the old man wake up. The old man can last half an hour at most, and there is nothing I can do later..." The doctor said cautiously , What this means is that as long as he pulls out the silver needle, it will be the last moment.

"It's okay, I'm in charge of this matter, I know you've tried your best, let the old man wake up..." Da Furen said with a sob.

"Okay!" the doctor said, quickly pulled out a few silver needles on the old man's head, and then took out the red thread containing ginseng essence hanging from the old man's mouth, and then used his thumb to stick it in the middle of the old man's mouth. The old man who had his eyes closed trembled, and 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, you are awake, Zhang Tie and Zhang Su are here..."

"grandfather……"

"grandfather……"

Both Zhang Tie and Zhang Su were beside the bed, calling softly.

The old man opened his eyes and saw the faces of Zhang Tie and Zhang Su clearly. There was a gleam of brilliance in his dim eyes. Seeing that the old man was struggling to get up, Zhang Tie and Zhang Su hurriedly supported the old man and used two The pillows were used to let the old man lean on the head of the bed.

"You go out first... There is no business for your women here... I will have a word with my two grandsons..." The first thing the old man said when he woke up was to send the old lady who was by the bed out.

The old lady did not dare to disobey, so she had to stand up, and with the help of the maid, she left the room.

"Zhang Tie, Zhang Su, you...you are all back..." After watching the old lady leave, the old man opened his mouth tremblingly, his voice was extremely weak, just a simple sentence, and the whole person gasped again .

"Grandpa, we're back..." Both Zhang Tie and Zhang Su nodded.

"Zhang Su..." The old man gasped for a while, then put 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 in this family... From now on, you will... Follow Zhang Tie... Zhang Tie saw me last time... He said that you are the most promising knight 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..."

Zhang Su's tears flowed down, listening to the old man's words, Zhang Su tightly closed his lips and nodded vigorously.

"Zhang Tie..."

"I'm here..." Zhang Tie quickly squeezed the old man's hand.

"They... they said that you are... now a phantom knight..."

"Yes...it's already a Phantom Knight!" Zhang Tie nodded.

"Even the governor...can't beat you!"

"I can't beat it!" Zhang Dian nodded vigorously while weeping.

"I heard... I heard that several knights from the Demon Race... who were as powerful as the governor... and a prince from the Demon Race... beside the Wei River... were all slaughtered by you... ...you also saved a lot of people..."

"Yes... I didn't embarrass our Zhang family!"

"Is that... is that divine ruler... powerful?" A gleam of fascination flashed in the old man's eyes.

"It's amazing, it can fly everywhere, no one can beat it!"

"That's good...that's good...with you at home, I can rest assured..." The old man gasped violently again, his face turned red, and Zhang Tie quickly gave the old man the breath, and the old man took a long time to relax. Come here, "Two more things..."

"Grandpa, tell me, I'm listening!"

"I've seen your children too...Alexander and the others...They are your seed...and shed...the blood of the Zhang family...the surname must be Zhang, and if you want to go on the genealogy, you must have Hua clan name..."

"Grandpa, don't worry, I'll give them Chinese names, all of them are surnamed Zhang, and they're all on the genealogy!"

"The old house... the people in the old house... from now on... you should pay more attention to those who are not good enough, just give them a bowl of food... When the world is in chaos...don't let them starve to death If you are successful...you will also help you...keep the family business...after all, blood is thicker than water...I know, this family, the big things in the future...you decide...you support...let Zhang Su help Looking at you...you are not afraid if the sky falls...I am also relieved."

"Grandpa, don't worry, the people in the old house are all members of the Zhang family, I will watch!" Zhang Tie nodded.

"Okay...ok...ok..." The old man nodded and said yes three times in a row, "pull the curtain... let them all come in... make it lively..."

Zhang Su got up, opened the heavy curtains in the room, and let people from outside come in.

Zhang Tie's parents, Zhang Yang, and a group of uncles and aunts from the old house all came in. Everyone knew that this was the last moment, and they all forced smiles.

On the contrary, the old man came to the same spirit, and said a few words to everyone.

"It's a bit bitter in my mouth...do you have iced bayberry soup..." After talking for a few minutes, the old man became weak and wanted to drink something.

As soon as he heard that the old man wanted iced bayberry soup, someone ran out immediately, and in the blink of an eye, the iced bayberry soup was served.

Just as the iced bayberry soup was served, 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 was also Zhang Tie's own grandmother, and the old man's fourth wife had been dead for many years, neither Zhang Tie nor Zhang Yang had ever met.

Hearing the old man's words, many people in the room felt their hairs stand on end. Everyone turned their heads to look at the door, but the door was empty. When they turned their heads again, the old man Zhang Haitian had closed his eyes and was out of breath. I haven't even had time to take a sip of the iced bayberry soup...

Immediately, the room was filled with crying...
