Grandpa Tao finally opened his eyes as if he heard his beloved granddaughter calling him. He wanted to reach out and touch his granddaughter’s head, but his hand was weak and could only move slightly.

“Xiao Rou, you’re back.” Grandpa Tao wanted to smile, but he was too tired, so he could only say one sentence to Tan Rou.

Tan Rou pursed her lips and wiped the tears off her face. “Grandpa, how are you feeling? Is it very uncomfortable?”

Grandpa Tao said slowly, “Old people are all like this. Don’t be sad.”

Tan Rou said, “Grandfather, don’t spout nonsense. You’re just tired. You’ll be fine.”

Grandpa Tao knew his body well. In the past year, he often felt a dull pain in his body, but he didn’t tell the children about it. The old couple secretly went to the hospital for a check-up.

The doctor told them that Grandpa Tao’s body was not sick. It was just that he was old and there was no way to treat him.

Grandma Tao had cried many times in private. She also wanted to find Xiao Rou to treat Grandpa Tao, but Grandpa Tao was not sick. Even Xiao Rou could not stop his life from passing away. Besides, Xiao Rou was very busy. They didn’t want to bother her with this kind of thing.

At this age, they did not want anything else. They only wanted their children to live happily.

“Grandpa, I will definitely cure you.” Tan Rou was very stubborn. Even though she knew that Grandpa Tao’s body was beyond saving, she still wanted him to live longer.

“Xiao Rou, don’t worry about me. Grandpa has lived enough,” Grandpa Tao advised her.

“Not enough.” Tan Rou shook her head and said, “You haven’t seen me get married yet. You haven’t seen my second brother get married either. Fourth Brother is still young. He even said that when he grows up, he wants to bring you guys around the world; you and Grandma both!

Grandpa Tao was very upset. “Your grandmother and I might not be able to fulfill our promise.”

“I will cure you.” Tan Rou wiped away her tears and made up her mind to let her grandfather live longer.

Tan Rou didn’t go back. She went through all of her ancient books. In ancient times, many people were looking for ways to live forever. Although no one could achieve immortality, there were still many excellent doctors who found ways to extend people’s lives.

After flipping through hundreds of ancient medical books, Tan Rou finally found a way to prolong one’s life. Acupuncture was first used, followed by tonics. This way, people with organ failure could live longer.

Tan Rou quickly learned how to use acupuncture, but it was indeed a difficult problem to make a tonic. She had never seen that kind of medicine before, so she had to make it herself. This time, it was different from the past. In the past, she had more time to prepare the medicine, but this time, she had to prepare the perfect medicine in a very short time.

Since it was a medicine that could extend a person’s lifespan, the formula was naturally not simple. Every medicinal ingredient in the formula was very difficult to find. Tan Rou spent a week finding nine of the medicinal ingredients. She was still missing the last medicinal ingredient and could not find it no matter what. She suspected that the ancient people had made up this medicinal ingredient to deceive people.

Zhuang Liu’s heart ached for Tan Rou, but he could not persuade her. After all, he was Tan Ron’s biological grandfather.

“Air Liu, am I being too stubborn?” Tan Rou huddled in Zhuang Liu’s arms, feeling very sad.

“If you can face death calmly, why can’t I?”

Tan Rou was talking about Zhuang Liu’s grandfather. When Zhuang Liu’s grandfather passed away, he did not show such sadness.

“I’m also very sad, but I know that I can’t let others see my weakness.” Zhuang Liu comforted her, “At that time, my father’s body had not fully recovered. The Zhuang family also had many things waiting for me to deal with, so I had to quickly get out of the pain and face the hardships of reality.”

“I don’t want Grandpa to leave me.” Tan Rou’s tears came out again. “The time we spent together was too short.”

“I know.” Zhuang Liu wiped away her tears. “We’re just missing a medicinal herb. Let’s go look for it together. We’ll be able to find it.”

“What if there is no such medicinal herb?” Tan Rou was in low spirits.

“We will find it.” Zhuang Liu held Tan Rou’s hand. “Rourou, be strong. Our Rourou has always been very powerful, right?”
