Xiao Lan knew very well that without research, she would have no right to speak, so she sent people to the town to inquire. As a result, someone said that when Lanhua's family was having a fire, they saw a man who didn't look like a good person wandering around her house. The man was not too old, and judging by his clothes, he really looked like Sheng Yuan.

"Xiao Lan, do you think it was really Xiao Yuan who burned down Lanhua's house?" Zhang spoke to Xiao Lan in a low voice.

"It's very likely." Xiao Lan thought about it and replied.

Xiaoyuan had a motive for doing this. He was convinced that Lanhua had ruined his marriage. The matter was suppressed at the time by Mr. Sheng and Mrs. Cui, but recently Pang Xiu'e came to his house. These things, one after another, challenged his nerves, so it was not impossible for him to do such an extraordinary thing.

If this happened to Sheng Xuan and Sheng Hao, they would probably just accept their fate and let it go. But Sheng Yuan is different from his two uncles. Sheng Yuan is likely to choose arson to avenge Lanhua.

"If he really did the arson and stealing of silver, then he definitely didn't do it on impulse. He must have planned it in advance." Xiao Lan said to Zhang, "But Xiaoyin's family didn't catch anyone. People nearby said it looked like he was there, but that can't be used as evidence..."

When they arrived at the old house, there were a lot of people gathered in front of the gate. When they saw Sheng Xuan, Xiao Wen and others coming, they all shouted, "They are coming, they are coming," and dispersed to the side to make way for them.

At this time, there were quite a few people standing in the yard, and everyone made way for Sheng Xuan's family.

When Sheng Xuan saw the situation at home, he seemed to have a premonition of something. His face suddenly turned extremely pale. While calling "Dad", Sheng Xuan ran to the upper room in a few steps.

Xiaolan and Xiaowen lagged behind by a step and looked at Zhang inquiringly.

"Come into the house quickly and kowtow to your grandfather." Zhang said to the two children in a low voice.

Old Master Sheng was lying straight on the kang, and Cui was sitting cross-legged beside him, with red eyes. Sheng Nuo, Sheng Kai, and Sheng Hong were all standing at the edge of the kang, also with red eyes. Sheng Xuan was kneeling in front of the old man, calling him dad.

Xiaolan and Xiaowen then went in and called out "Grandpa" in unison. Standing closer, Xiaolan could clearly see Grandpa Sheng's face. At this moment, the old man's face was pale, his eyes were closed, and his cheeks were sunken due to aging and weight loss. At this moment, he opened his mouth slightly, not to speak, but to breathe.

But no matter how Sheng Xuan called the old man, he didn't respond at all.

"He didn't know anything just now. It's useless to call him." Cui cried. Cui meant that the old man had been unconscious since he got hit.

"Where is the doctor? Where is the doctor?" Sheng Xuan shouted.

Doctor Li stepped forward and repeated his conclusion.

At this time Xiao Lan turned her head and looked outside, and saw Xiao Ye squeezing in from outside the door. He met Xiao Lan's eyes, and then hurried to Xiao Lan's side.

"My father just went up the mountain. The old people in the village said that our grandfather is dying and we have to prepare for his funeral... We need to go up the mountain to look for a cemetery..." Xiao Ye said.

Xiao Lan nodded and thought, this is serious business, but, "...this matter should not be..." Then she glanced in the direction of Sheng Nuo.

Things like visiting cemeteries have always been what the eldest son should do.

"He didn't go. He said he didn't want to visit our grandfather, so he let my father go." Xiao Ye said.

Xiao Lan said meaningfully. How could Sheng Nuo leave Grandpa Sheng at this time? Although everyone said that the old man was dying, what if the old man woke up at this time? Even if he was only awake for a short while, the old man's last words were very precious. Sheng Nuo would naturally not leave the old man's side for a moment.

And Xiao Lan also felt that if the old man woke up at this time, the person he would most want to see should be Sheng Nuo. After all, Sheng Nuo, as the eldest son, had spent the longest time with him, and the old man had the deepest feelings for him.

After hearing what Doctor Li said, Sheng Xuan did not accept his fate. "Please take a look at the old man. As long as you can cure him, I don't care how much money you spend..."

At this time, it is impossible to reason with Sheng Xuan. Several people in the room, including Cui, Sheng Nuo, Sheng Kai, Sheng Hao and Sheng Hong, all vaguely knew that the old man might not be able to make it, but they couldn't help but have a little hope and luck in their hearts. They all hoped that the old man could wake up and get better.

Sheng Xuan held Doctor Li's hand and begged him to save the old man. This was not the first time Doctor Li had seen such a thing in his many years of practicing medicine. He had checked the old man's pulse several times just now. In addition, he had been treating the old man for such a long time, so he knew the old man's physical condition best. As soon as he saw the old man's face, he knew that the old man was dying. However, he glanced at Sheng Xuan and couldn't help sighing in his heart, but he still sat on the edge of the kang and continued to check the old man's pulse.

Doctor Li did this not only to give face to Sheng Xuan, but also to comfort the filial sons if asked by ordinary people. Doctor Li has been practicing medicine for many years and has a very good reputation. On the one hand, he does have some skills, and on the other hand, it has a lot to do with his proficiency in corpses and his integrity.

Doctor Li diagnosed the patient for a while, then stood up. Sheng Xuan hurried forward and asked, "Doctor Li, how is my father? What medicine does he need? Doctor Li, just write a prescription."

Doctor Li sighed, waved his hand and said, "All the prescriptions that can be prescribed have been prescribed..."

At this time, Xu was bringing in a bowl of steaming medicine. "Let's try again. If the old man can swallow this medicine, he still has some hope." Doctor Li said when he saw someone bringing the medicine.

Hearing Doctor Li say this, Sheng Xuan's face immediately lit up, and so did Cui, Sheng Nuo, and Sheng Kai. Everyone worked together to raise the old man's head a little higher, and then Cui picked up a spoon to scoop up the medicine and feed it to the old man.

But the result was not satisfactory. Although a spoonful of medicine was barely fed into the old man's mouth, the medicine almost immediately flowed out of his mouth. In this way, Cui still fed two spoonfuls in a row. In the end, her hands were shaking so much that she couldn't keep steady... The old man's current condition was like the old saying that he couldn't eat or drink anything.

This was the first time Xiao Lan saw Cui's hands shaking like this. This time, there was no fakeness, it was all real shaking. Seeing this, everyone in the room began to cry. Sheng Nuo even cried loudly. Only Cui, although her eyes were red, she didn't shed a single tear.

But at this point, Sheng Xuan still refused to give up. He personally brought the bowl of medicine and the spoon and fed the medicine to the old man himself. But the miracle did not happen. No matter how much medicine was fed in, it still flowed out. Sheng Xuan tried several times in a row, and finally had to give up helplessly. But at this time, Xiao Lan found that the quilt on the old man seemed to move. She thought it was her eyes that melted, so she asked Xiao Wen to see.

Xiaowen also saw it.

"My grandfather's hand seemed to move just now." Xiaowen said.

Sheng Xuan quickly climbed onto the kang and lifted the quilt. Old Master Sheng's hands were thick and the skin on them was rough, which was a characteristic of farmers who had worked hard all their lives. Everyone saw that the old man's fingers did move.
