Ou Peng looked at the backs of the two of them, and couldn't help shaking his head, saying, "These two living treasures are really not easy to do." ”

Hu Lao daxiao said, "Let them go." ”

After saying that, everyone followed the two of them out of the hall.

Walking into the council hall again, it was still the time of the lamp, Ou Peng and the others were surprised, the record of this classic book is really correct, one day and one night, but this is not that time, a day of kung fu, the martial arts of several people are very different, this opportunity is unfathomable.

After everyone sat down, Zhang Chengyue stepped forward to salute and briefly reported the situation in the gang to Ou Peng during this time, Ou Peng listened, nodded in satisfaction, and then Zhang Chengyue stood aside.

Ou Peng didn't ask much, but then told everyone that he would retreat and practice in the next ten days, and the affairs of the gang would be temporarily handed over to Zhang Chengyue to take care of, so he let everyone disperse.

When the rest of the gang was gone, the Ethereal Five Tigers began to discuss things again.

Ou Peng said to all the senior brothers: "Brothers, we have finished taking the pills in this secret place, and after returning today, it is best to retreat and rest for ten days, and exercise more to stabilize the realm." After ten days, we will discuss the ethereal development plan together, what do you think?"

Everyone had no objection, got up and left the chamber, and went home without mentioning it.

There is no difference between the ethereal pie in the night and the usual, but after dinner, a maid walked out of a certain inner house, walked out of the ethereal villa unhurriedly, came to a grocery store outside the Zhuangzi, bought some rouge gouache, and then came back, and the owner of the grocery store after a meal, he set off from the back door of the store, drove a carriage to Pingyang City to buy goods, and soon arrived at a large grocery store in Pingyang City, he entered some groceries, and hurried back to the Ethereal Villa.

After a while, the bookkeeper in the grocery store in Pingyang City finished settling the accounts, and went home from the store, when he passed by a dark alley, he felt anxious, so he flashed and walked in, but after he entered, he did not relieve himself, but hurried to a dark corner, where there was a small door, he knocked a few times rhythmically, and the door "squeaked" It was opened, and the people inside probed to see who let him into the yard, and after a while, Mr. Bookkeeper came out of the yard, relieved himself in the alley, and walked out lazily, and then went home, just when he walked out of the alley, from a small house in the courtyard, two carrier pigeons flew out, one after the other, and flew to the outside of Pingyang City.

Pingyang City at night, although noisy, but like the ethereal villa at night, there is no difference from usual, it seems that nothing has changed because of the flight of pigeons, everything is so normal, but in this seemingly calm night, who knows what unusual things are hidden?

Dawn soon came, the sun pierced the night like a sword, and everyone began to get up and start their busy day.

Zhang Xiaohua also opened her eyes, and in the same way, the flickering in her eyes was fleeting, and no one noticed it.

The first sound Zhang Xiaohua heard after waking up was her grandmother's cough. Zhang Xiaohua didn't have to think about it to know that this was the eighth day in a row, and Zhang Xiaohua faintly felt that grandma's cough was not a simple cough, he could feel the viscous liquid in his grandmother's throat and eyes and body, that is, the kind of liquid that blocked his breath and blocked his life, and his grandmother's life seemed to gradually dissolve in this viscosity, and gradually passed, Zhang Xiaohua could even feel grandma's emaciation, this emaciation was not physical emaciation, it was a kind of spiritual emaciation. Zhang Xiaohua was very scared, he didn't dare to tell his mother, because his grandmother didn't have anything else wrong with her body except for coughing, and she ate a lot of things every day.

However, Zhang Xiaohua couldn't believe it.

Grandma coughed violently again, her waist bent down, very painful, Zhang Xiaohua hurriedly got up, beat her grandmother's back, poured a little water from the teapot on the table, tested the water temperature, and sent it to her grandmother's mouth. Grandma drank the water, then she breathed a sigh of relief, and said kindly: "Xiaohua, why did you wake up so early? Don't sleep for a while, is grandma arguing about you?"

Zhang Xiaohua said: "No, grandma, I don't know what's going on, recently I wake up at dawn and can't sleep anymore." ”

Grandma said: "Alas, Xiaohua has grown up, she is sensible, and grandma doesn't want to disturb you to sleep, I endured it for a long time last night, and at dawn this day, I really can't help it, so I cough, and tomorrow grandma will go to the yard." I won't be noisy with you. ”

Zhang Xiaohua said: "Grandma, really, I didn't lie, I slept very well at night during this period of time, I didn't hear you cough at all, I really couldn't sleep when I woke up in the morning, you must not go to the yard, it's too cold outside." ”

Grandma smiled and didn't speak.

Zhang Xiaohua got up and walked out of the house, the sky outside, the rising sun hung there, it didn't look dazzling, it was as cute as a duck egg yolk, Zhang Xiaohua opened her mouth naughtily, and took a bite at the rising sun, but she didn't think that she really felt that there was something hot flowing down her throat into her body.

Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but be shocked, extremely doubtful of her feelings, shook her head, and went to wash her face.

In the yard as always, the mother and Liu Qian got up early, the mother was busy with the poultry fed at home, and Liu Qian was busy with the family's breakfast. Zhang Xiaohua looked at these happily, it seemed that Liu Qian was not Sister Liu, but sister-in-law. He has already made a small decision in his heart, his doubts may not be able to be told to his mother, but he can tell this future sister-in-law, she has read so many books and knows so many things, maybe she can solve her doubts.

The peasant family's breakfast was very simple, and it was eaten in a hurry. However, what is different from before recently is that after breakfast, Zhang Xiaohua is going to go to the well on the slope to fetch water and come back. Since the last night when everyone had insomnia, they seem to be obsessed with this thing, and they have to drink it every day, and they feel that this well water is sweeter than the river water they usually eat, so they also use well water for meals at home. However, Zhang Cai was thinking about the long flow of water, so he asked Zhang Xiaohua to pick up water twice a day in the morning and evening, and asked his son not to tell anyone else in the village first.

Zhang Xiaohua was about to fetch water after breakfast.

Before going out, he said to Liu Qian: "Sister Liu, do you want to go around the mountains with me today?"

Guo Sufei listened to it and said happily: "Yes, Liu Qian, you go out for a walk, I've been tired of you for the past few days." ”

The rest of the Zhang family also applauded, Liu Qian thought about it, put down the dishes and chopsticks that were being cleaned up, and said, "The troublesome aunt has cleaned up, I'll go out for a walk." ”

Then Liu Qian followed Zhang Xiaohua and came to the river.

Zhang Xiaohua didn't go any further when she walked to the river, Liu Qian chased after him and asked him, "Xiaohua, do you have something to tell me?"

Zhang Xiaohua smiled reluctantly and said, "Sister Liu, you are so smart, you know that I have something to do with you when you guess." ”

Liu Qian said: "You little ghost, if you have something to say, my sister will give you a reference." ”

Zhang Xiaohua was silent for a while, looked at the flowing river and said, "Sister Liu, you say, can people in this world never die?"

Liu Qian frowned and said: "I can't answer you well, some books say that there are no immortal people in the world, and the grave says the end of anyone, while some books say that ordinary people will die, and some people will not die?"

Zhang Xiaohua said strangely: "Who are they?"

Liu Qian said: "According to some wild historical records, some cultivators can live forever without eating the fireworks in the world. However, this is only written in a book, no one has ever seen it, and who knows whether it is true or false, but death can be seen everywhere, without exception. ”

Zhang Xiaohua asked again: "How can a person who is dying be saved?"

Liu Qian frowned and said: "If you are sick and dying, of course you should find a good doctor and cure the disease, if you are poisoned to death, the important thing is to detoxify, you will not die, if you are old and will die, then yes, you can give him 'longevity pills', I read a very shabby book when I was a child, which said that there is a miracle medicine in the world, called 'longevity pills', people can live for twenty years if they eat it." However, this is mostly fake, and I have never heard of anyone taking this pill. ”

When Zhang Xiaohua heard this, she looked at the rushing stream and muttered, "Where can I find the Life Extension Pill?"

When Liu Qian heard this, she was very strange and said, "Xiaohua, why did you suddenly ask so many strange questions today?

Zhang Xiaohua raised her head, her mouth was flat, as if she was about to cry, her voice was a little hoarse, and said, "Sister Liu, I feel that my grandmother is leaving me, she is about to die." ”

Liu Qian's heart jumped, and she hurriedly stepped forward, hugged Xiaohua's head and said: "Xiaohua, good child, don't cry, don't think so much, grandma is just an ordinary cough, this is a very easy problem for the elderly in winter, didn't the doctor say it? ”

Zhang Xiaohua's tears were about to flow out, he said: "But Lao Chen is a veterinarian, he doesn't know how to treat people." ”

Liu Qian hurriedly comforted Zhang Xiaohua and said, "Then wait a few days, let's take grandma to the town to find a famous doctor to see a doctor, okay? Grandma must be fine." ”

Zhang Xiaohua shook her head, then cried, and said while crying: "Sister Liu, don't lie to me, I'm not too young, I can farm myself." I knew my grandmother was not going to get better, and I could feel that there was something sticky in my grandmother's body that prevented her from breathing, so she coughed. Moreover, I can also feel that there is something in my grandmother's body that runs outside every day, and my grandmother is getting thinner and thinner. ”

Liu Qian listened, she was also sad, and she couldn't comfort Zhang Xiaohua quietly, she was really a sensible good child, only strong family affection, love from blood could feel the passage of life, Liu Qian hugged Zhang Xiaohua's head, and tears couldn't help but flow.
