Chapter 30

Ou Peng looked at the backs of the two people and could not help but shake his head, saying, "These two living treasures are really hard to deal with."

Old Hu laughed and said, "Let them be."

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

When they stepped into the meeting hall again, it was still the time when the lamps were lit. Ou Peng and the others were surprised. The records in the ancient books were indeed correct, one day and one night. However, this time was different from the past. In just one day's effort, the difference in their martial arts was like heaven and earth. The word 'opportunity' was unfathomable.

When everyone was seated, Zhang Chengyue went forward to salute and briefly reported the situation in the sect during this period to Ou Peng. Ou Peng listened and nodded with satisfaction. Then, Zhang Chengyue stood at the side.

Ou Peng did not ask much. He just told everyone that in the next ten days, he would be in seclusion to practice martial arts. The affairs of the sect would be temporarily handed over to Zhang Chengyue to handle. Then, he let everyone disperse.

When everyone else in the sect had left, the Five Misty Tigers began to discuss matters again.

Ou Peng said to his senior and junior brothers, "Brothers, we have finished taking the elixirs in this secret site. After we go back today, it is best to go into seclusion and rest for ten days.

After ten days, we will discuss the development plan of the Misty Tigers together. What do you think? "

Everyone had no objections. They got up and left the meeting hall. They went home and did not mention it.

At night, the Misty School was no different from usual. However, after dinner, a maidservant walked out of one of the inner residences. She walked out of the Misty Heights unhurriedly and went to a grocery store outside the manor. She bought some rouge and face powder and then came back. After a meal, the owner of the grocery store set off from the back door of the store. He drove a horse carriage to Ping Yang City to stock up. Not long after, he arrived at a large grocery store in Ping Yang City. After he bought some groceries, he hurried back to the Misty Heights.

After a while, the accountant of the grocery store in Ping Yang City finished settling the accounts and went home. When he passed by a dark alley, he felt the urge to go to the toilet and went in. However, after he went in, he did not urinate. Instead, he hurried to a dark corner. There was a small door there. He knocked on it rhythmically and the door opened with a creak. The person inside looked out to see who it was and let him into the courtyard. Not long after, the accountant came out from the courtyard and went to the alley to relieve himself. He walked out lazily and then went home. Just as he walked out of the alley, two carrier pigeons flew out from a small house in the courtyard. They flew out of Ping Yang City one after another.

Although Ping Yang City was noisy at night, it was the same as the Misty Heights at night. It was as if nothing had changed because of the carrier pigeons. Everything was so normal. However, who knew what unusual things were hidden in this seemingly peaceful night?

Dawn came quickly. The sunlight pierced through the night like a sharp sword. Everyone started to get up and start their busy day.

Zhang Xiaohua also opened his eyes. Similarly, there was a flash in his eyes and no one noticed it.

The first sound Zhang Xiaohua heard when he woke up was his grandmother's cough.

Zhang Xiaohua did not need to think to know that this was already the eighth day in a row. Moreover, Zhang Xiaohua could faintly feel that his grandmother's cough was not a simple one. He could feel the viscous liquid in his grandmother's throat and body. It was the kind of liquid that blocked her breath and life. His grandmother's life seemed to be gradually dissolving and passing away in this viscous liquid. Zhang Xiaohua could even feel his grandmother's thinness. This thinness was not the thinness of her body, but the thinness of her spirit.

Zhang Xiaohua was very scared. He did not dare to tell his mother that other than his grandmother's cough, there was nothing wrong with her body. She ate a lot of food every day. The village vet, Old Chen, also said that it was just the cold weather and her body was cold. His grandmother was old and could not adapt to it. She would be fine when spring came.

However, Zhang Xiaohua did not dare to believe it.

His grandmother coughed violently again. Her back was bent and she was in great pain. Zhang Xiaohua hurriedly got up and massaged his grandmother's back. He then poured some water from the teapot on the table, tested the temperature of the water, and brought it to his grandmother's mouth.

His grandmother drank the water and then heaved a sigh of relief. She said kindly, "Xiaohua, why are you awake so early?

Why don't you sleep a little longer? Did I wake you up? "

Zhang Xiaohua said, "No, Grandma. I don't know what's going on. Recently, I've been waking up at dawn and can't sleep anymore."

His grandmother said, "Ai, Xiaohua has grown up and is sensible. I don't want to wake you up. Last night, I endured it for a long time. At dawn, I really couldn't stand it anymore and started coughing. Tomorrow, I will go to the courtyard.

I won't wake you up. "

Zhang Xiaohua said, "Grandma, it's true. I'm not lying. I've been sleeping very well at night recently. I didn't hear you cough at all. When I woke up in the morning, I really couldn't sleep. You must not go to the courtyard. It's too cold outside."

His grandmother smiled and did not say anything.

Zhang Xiaohua got up and went out of the room. The sky outside was filled with the rising sun. It did not look dazzling and was as cute as a duck's egg yolk. Zhang Xiaohua mischievously opened his mouth and took a bite of the rising sun. Unexpectedly, he really felt something warm flowing down his throat and into his body.

Zhang Xiaohua could not help but be shocked. He was extremely suspicious of his own feelings. He shook his head and went to wash his face.

The courtyard was as usual. His mother and Liu Qian had woken up early. His mother was busy feeding the poultry at home while Liu Qian was busy preparing breakfast for the family.

Zhang Xiaohua looked at these happily. It seemed that Liu Qian was not Sister Liu, but sister-in-law.

He had already made a small decision in his heart. He might not be able to tell his mother about his doubts, but he could tell his future sister-in-law. She had read so many books and knew so many things. Perhaps she could solve his doubts.

The farmers' breakfast was very simple and it was finished in a hurry.

However, the difference was that after breakfast, Zhang Xiaohua would go to the well on the slope to fetch water back.

Since the last time they drank tea and had insomnia, everyone seemed to be infatuated with this thing. They drank it every day. Moreover, they felt that the well water was sweeter than the river water they usually ate. Therefore, they also used the well water for their meals.

However, Zhang Cai planned to let Zhang Xiaohua fetch the water twice a day in the morning and in the evening. He also told his son not to tell anyone else in the village.

Zhang Xiaohua finished breakfast and went to fetch water.

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

Guo Sufei heard and said happily, "Yes, Liu Qian. You should go out for a walk. These few days have been tiring for you."

The other people in the Zhang family also agreed. Liu Qian thought for a moment and put down the bowl and chopsticks that she was cleaning and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Auntie to clean up. I'll go out for a walk."

Then Liu Qian followed behind Zhang Xiaohua and went to the river.

Zhang Xiaohua walked to the river and did not go forward. Liu Qian caught up and asked him, "Xiaohua, do you have something to tell me?"

Zhang Xiaohua forced a smile and said, "Sister Liu, you're so smart. You guessed that I have something to tell you."

Liu Qian said, "You little brat, if you have something to say, sister will help you."

Zhang Xiaohua was silent for a moment. He looked at the flowing river and said, "Sister Liu, do you think that people in this world can never die?"

Liu Qian frowned and said, "I can't answer you. Some books say that there is no immortal in the world. The grave is the end of everyone. But some books say that ordinary people will die, and some people will not die."

Zhang Xiaohua asked curiously, "Who are those people?"

Liu Qian said, "According to some unofficial records, some cultivators do not eat the smoke and fire of the mortal world and can live forever.

However, this is only written in the books and no one has seen it. Who knows if it is true or false. On the contrary, death can be seen everywhere without exception. "

Zhang Xiaohua asked again, "Then how can a dying person be saved?"

Liu Qian frowned and said, "If he is dying of illness, of course he has to find a good doctor to cure the illness. If he is poisoned to death, the most important thing is to detoxify the poison so that he won't die. If he is old and about to die, then … Right, you can give him the 'Life Prolonging Pill'. When I was young, I read a very old book. It said that there is a strange medicine in the world called the 'Life Prolonging Pill'.

However, this is most likely fake. I have never heard of anyone taking this pill. "

When Zhang Xiaohua heard this, he looked at the flowing river and muttered, "Where can I find the Life Prolonging Pill?"

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

You still want to find the Life Prolonging Pill? "

Zhang Xiaohua raised his head. His mouth was flat as if he was about to cry. His voice was a little hoarse as he said, "Sister Liu, I feel that grandma is about to leave me. She is about to die."

Liu Qian's heart skipped a beat. She quickly walked forward and hugged Xiaohua's head and said, "Xiaohua, good child. Don't cry and don't think so much. Grandma is just coughing. This is a very common problem for the elderly in winter. Didn't the doctor say that?

When spring comes and the weather warms up, grandma will be better. "

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

Liu Qian quickly comforted Zhang Xiaohua and said, "Then in a few days, let's take grandma to town to find a famous doctor, okay?

Grandma will be fine. "

Zhang Xiaohua shook his head and continued to cry. As he cried, he said, "Sister Liu, don't lie to me. I'm not young anymore. I can even farm by myself.

I know that grandma won't be able to get better. I can feel that there is something sticky in grandma's body that makes her unable to breathe properly. That's why she coughs.

Moreover, I can also feel that there is something in grandma's body that is running out every day. Grandma is getting thinner and thinner. "

When Liu Qian heard this, she was also sad. She could no longer calm down and comfort Zhang Xiaohua. He was really a sensible child. Only a strong family relationship and a love that originated from blood could feel the passing of life. Liu Qian hugged Zhang Xiaohua's head and tears couldn't help but flow down.
