Upon seeing the young man, her eyes immediately lit up, and she asked in a weak voice, "What... is your name?"

"My name is Junran."

Junran was surprised that the old man would ask such a question. After a moment of hesitation, she gave her name. After all, it was just a name, and there was nothing to hide.

"I...I..."

Seeing that Junran was conscious, the old man immediately gripped his wrist tightly. Although he was clearly seriously injured, the old man's strength was immense, like a pair of pliers.

"Grandpa, don't worry, it's very safe here."

Junran thought the old man was afraid he would leave, so he gently comforted him, "Tell me where the medicine is so I can treat your wounds."

"Thump..."

At this moment, the old man finally calmed down a bit, and with a flick of his hand, a bottle fell to the ground.

Is this it?

Junran quickly picked it up, only to find that there was only one black pill inside.

Although he found it strange that only one life-saving pill was prepared, he didn't have time to think about it anymore and quickly gave it to the old man.

However, the old man did not immediately swallow the pill he had just received. Instead, he stared at it for a moment.

But in the end, he sighed, opened his mouth, and swallowed it.

"Cough cough cough..."

After taking the medicine, the old man was quiet for a moment, then suddenly began to cough violently.

"Grandpa, you..."

Upon seeing this, Junran was about to step forward to check the situation, but was unexpectedly pushed away by the old man.

"Pfft..."

At the same time, he spat out a mouthful of black blood.

"this…"

Upon seeing this, Junran was stunned. How come the situation seemed to have worsened after taking the medicine?

He had been living alone here for almost a year and still didn't know where he was. He had finally met a human and had a lot to ask him. He couldn't just die like this.

Of course, even if he didn't ask about anything, he still didn't want anyone to die in front of him.

"Thank you, young man..."

Just as Junran was getting anxious, the old man had recovered and a faint color returned to his face. He smiled at him.

Are you alright?

Upon seeing this, Junran was overjoyed and quickly went forward to help him up.

"I...I'm going to die soon..."

Then, the old man shook his head with a wry smile, "This medicine can only temporarily restore my strength."

Upon hearing this, Junran immediately understood that the old man's current state was merely a final burst of energy before death; in fact, if it weren't for that medicine, the old man would have already died.

"Grandpa, is there really no other way?"

Junran was also very sad; he truly hoped the old man could come back to life.

"Child, thank you so much, you're a good person!"

Looking at the clear sadness in Junran's eyes, the old man seemed to have made up his mind. He handed him the storage ring and said seriously, "This is all my savings. Now I'm giving it all to you, as long as you do one thing for me."

"Old lady, there's no need for that. I'll do whatever I can to help." Upon hearing this, Junran instinctively tried to decline.

"Just accept it. The old man is dead, and no one here can take it."

The old man insisted on placing the storage ring into Junran's hand, "I just hope... cough cough cough..."

The old man had just taken out the jade pendant from his bosom when he coughed up another mouthful of blood. This time, his breath rapidly weakened, and he couldn't even sit up, collapsing to the side.

"Old man!"

Seeing this, Junran quickly stepped forward to support the person, "What's wrong with you...?"
