Early the next morning, Zhang Yi'er called Ke Lan back to the back room as soon as they had packed up and hadn't eaten breakfast yet. "Xiao Ke, here is all our money!" Zhang Yi'er took out some banknotes, some silver taels and a few strings of copper coins. "Today I sold all the jewelry and valuables I brought out and exchanged them for bank notes! Now we divide these into two, and each person takes half." He said and pushed the half to Ke Lan.I saw that she wrapped the remaining half with a large denomination in cloth and stuffed it into her close-fitting clothes, stuffed the rest at her waist, and put some in her bag.Ke Lan followed the same pattern and put his half of the money away—in modern times, a card would do the job, and he only needed to carry a few hundred yuan in cash.After breakfast, the two of them bid farewell to shopkeeper Zhu and everyone in the shop, and were about to set off when they saw Xiao Wu rushing in in a panic. "Fortunately, fortunately!" He said repeatedly without caring about panting.Without a moment's pause, he stepped forward and pulled Ke Lan, turned around and left.Everyone was surprised, before they could react, Zhang Yier and Dr. Zhu chased them out.

Following Xiao Wu all the way to her grandmother's hospital bed, Ke Lan didn't understand what happened, she just gasped for breath, running all the way, but Ke Lan was exhausted.As soon as I got to the bed, I heard Xiao Wu's anxious voice: "Grandma, grandma, wake up, I brought Brother Lan here! Open your eyes and have a look!"

Hearing what she said, Ke Lan also quickly looked at Xiao Wu's grandma.I saw that the old man's face was much paler and older than before, and his lips had no blood at all.It doesn't matter if you look at it, Ke Lan felt cold, could it be...

"Master Lan..." But a weak voice came from the bloodless lips, and a gap slowly flashed through the eyes that had been closed before.

"Grandma..." Ke Lan just yelled, but his voice choked in his throat, and he was speechless.

"Come here..." Grandma Xiao Wu wanted to wave, but she had no strength at all. She knew she was dying, so she asked Xiao Wu to find Ke Lan early in the morning.Although she had only met two or three times, she could feel that Ke Lan was a trustworthy person.For the current plan, Xiao Wu can only be entrusted to him.It may not be a bad thing to let him take Xiao Wu away from home.

Ke Lan walked over obediently, holding that weak hand in his own.

"Mr. Lan... the old lady is dying... I wonder if you can agree..." Xiao Wu's grandmother was obviously weak and couldn't complete a sentence.

Ke Lan saw it, his nose was sore, and a layer of mist appeared in his eyes, and he replied with a slightly choked-up verse: "Grandma, don't say that. Although, we have only known each other for a short time. But in my heart, You are just like my dear grandma. If you want anything, just tell me!"

Hearing what Ke Lan said, the old man closed his eyes in relief, took a deep breath with all his strength and continued: "Okay, okay...old lady...you didn't miss it...after I'm gone...Xiao Wu will entrust you! "

"Grandma, don't worry, I will take good care of Xiao Wu. Just like my own brother, no, my own sister!"

"No... cough cough, cough cough..." Hearing what Ke Lan said, the old man knew that he didn't understand what he meant, but he coughed as soon as he got anxious.

"Grandma, don't worry, speak slowly." Ke Lan quickly supported the old man, stroked her back, and made her feel comfortable.

"Little Five..."

Hearing grandma's call, Xiao Wu hurried forward.

The old man tremblingly stretched out his hand to take Xiao Wu's hand on the side of the bed, slowly handed it over to Ke Lan's hand, and shook it weakly.

"Mr. Lan...I will...my only precious granddaughter...betrothed...to you!" After speaking, the old man only had the strength to breathe, but his eyes were fixed on Ke Lan, expecting him to nod his approval.

After listening to grandma's words, Ke Lan and Xiao Wu were stunned, not knowing what to do.Zhang Yi'er and Dr. Zhu who rushed over afterward happened to catch up with this crucial scene, and they were also stunned at the door of the bedroom, not knowing what to do!

"Master Blue..."

"Grandma, I..." Ke Lan wanted to refuse at first, but when he met Grandma Xiaowu's expectant and pleading eyes---that was the only and last hope of a dying old man in this world, "I promise!"

"Grandma..." Xiao Wu understands grandma's intentions. Although she has a lot to say in her heart, she chooses not to say anything at this moment. She will do whatever grandma wants her to do!

"Xiao Wu...in the future...you can't be so self-willed anymore...Grandma...don't ask for anything else...as long as...you...do well...a husband and a child...you are not in vain as a descendant of the Zhou family!" The old man was doing the last thing intermittently. Confession, "You...can... promise!"

"Grandma, I promise!" Xiao Wu said these words almost crying!

"Okay... then... old lady... I will die in peace..." As she spoke, she saw Grandma Xiaowu looking out of the window, with her arms stretched forward, murmuring some vague words in her mouth, listening carefully, it seemed to be: "Master ...Master...You...Come to pick me up...Wait...Wait..." Slowly, the voice died down, and the outstretched arms also drooped weakly.

"Grandma... grandma... grandma..." Xiao Wu threw himself on the old man and cried out in grief, as if he could call back the departed grandma.

The tears in Ke Lan's eyes rolled down her face, she didn't know how to comfort Xiao Wu, she just turned her head away from looking at the sad scene, but saw Yi'er and Doctor Zhu standing at the door of the bedroom at some point.
