Chapter 922 Is it late?

As an orphan, she lacked family affection since she was a child, and Grandpa Yin treated her as his own, so the girl Feng'er would naturally treat him as the closest person.

"Well, good." Lan Shengxue readily agreed.

Feng'er was about to salute, but she quickly stopped her.

Feng'er stood up happily, "Miss Lan, wait for me, I'll go to the kitchen to get a food box."

Every day, every meal, she would leave a little food from the kitchen for Grandpa Yin. Recently, the Xilan people began to discuss the sacrificial ceremony. At this time, she got sick again. She was thin and thin, and she was more difficult to work. Appears strenuous and awkward.

For fear of causing trouble to Grandpa Yin, she could only find someone else to replace her. In previous years, the guards of the clan could do the job, but this year, for some reason, the Xilan clan stepped up their defenses, and the guards were not allowed to leave their posts casually. And it seems that the Saintess has also limited the number of people going to the back mountain.

In the past few years, she has been running on both sides, and it is not surprising that the saint acquiesced that she could go to the back mountain without delaying her normal work, but now, with a shortage of manpower, she really does not want to be involved because of her own affairs. Grandpa Yin who has been in the back mountain.

After a while, Feng'er brought a simple food box, her face was a little red because of the fever, "Miss Lan, this is Grandpa Yin's food, here it is for you. There may be guards guarding the back mountain, I have already told them Yes, you can go in."

After finishing speaking, she shook her body and lay down on the table.

"How is it? Are you okay?"

Feng'er's face was pale, and she supported her body and shook her head, "I'm fine... Miss Lan, go quickly, otherwise it will get deeper later, the mountain road is not easy to walk, please be careful, girl, I..."

"Okay, don't talk about it, I understand, you go back to take care of your body first, that's the most important thing."

Feng'er was almost overwhelmed with gratitude to Lan Shengxue.

When she came to the back mountain, she carried the food box and walked slowly in the cool breeze. As Feng'er said, it was easy for her to enter the back mountain.

At the end of the night, it was a little lonely. In the woods, the sound of insects could be heard from time to time...

What she didn't understand was how could there be an old man living alone in the back mountain of the Xilan tribe. Isn't he from the Xilan tribe?

Walking up the mountainside, she saw a thatched hut, just behind the thatched hut, and a place similar to a temple.

Feng'er said that in the back mountain, there is a bookstore of the Xilan nationality, and no one cleans it all year round, so Grandpa Yin lives in the back mountain, and he also takes care of cleaning the bookstore during the day.

People don't seem to come here very often, it's full of dust, Lan Shengxue walked to the yard of the thatched house, looked at the surrounding fence, the lights in the house were turned off, as if someone had already fallen asleep.

Lan Shengxue stood in the yard, it was not a matter of going in or not going in, he hesitated for a while, was it too late?
"Cough cough...cough cough..." There was a low coughing sound from inside the room.

Lan Shengxue's expression moved slightly, and he took a step forward.

"The wind is coming..." The old man's voice was a little hoarse, and it sounded like he must be in poor health.

"She is sick today." Lan Shengxue walked to the door and opened it. There was no light in the room. She felt the darkness and put the food box on the small wooden table under the moonlight. "This is the wind... "

Her eyes suddenly sank, and she immediately turned her head to look back.

An old man who is not tall and thin is standing behind her.
