Chapter 279 The Water of Life
The old village owner, who is highly respected in the village, is absolutely loved by every villager, and it can be seen from the low situation in the blue sky.

In the courtyard of the old village master, an old woman with red eyes and a dull expression was sitting in the hall. The news that her wife didn't have much time made her lose her soul.She made up her mind to go with him after arranging her husband's funeral. What's the point of living without him?

Heavy steps were pattering in the corridor, and after a while, Shen Lang, who was also with red eyes, came in, bent his knees and fell down in front of the old woman with a plop, and then said: "Master, do you want to give Master a copy in advance?" Is his old man preparing for his funeral?"

"Good boy, let you handle these matters. Your master is a person who likes to be quiet, so you must find him a quiet place." After blinking her wet eyes twice, the old woman nodded and said.

"Master, don't worry, I will definitely handle Master's funeral in a smooth manner."

"Ah."

"One more thing, the villagers in the village all want to see Master and his old man for the last time, do you want to make arrangements for them?" Shen Lang said painfully, sniffling his nose twice.

"Let him leave quietly. He likes to be quiet. It's not good for too many people to disturb him." The old woman shook her head, and didn't agree to let the villagers come to see the old village master, so as not to cry and cry endlessly.

"Okay, I'm going to take care of the funeral for Master." Shen Lang agreed, then got up and left the hall.

"bang bang bang~"

There was a hasty knock on the door, and Cheng Cheng, who was sitting on the bed with a serious face, came back to his senses. He felt very guilty about the matter of the old village owner. Although he knew that he was not the old village owner who killed him, but he If he didn't heal the poison, there might still be a glimmer of life, but he was deprived of this glimmer of life.

Sitting on the bed, she stood up, stepped forward and opened the door, only to see Nangong Yuling standing outside the door with a cold face, she couldn't help asking: "Yu Ling, what's the matter? I want to calm down for a while now."

"What are you doing hiding in the house? Do you want to be a turtle?" Suddenly, Nangong Yuling pushed him and made him stagger back two steps, asking in a cold voice.

How could Cheng Sheng expect her to make a sudden move?Caught off guard and almost fell, he frowned and said, "It's okay, don't bother me."

"Didn't you say that you can cure the old village owner? How is it now? Everyone is dying, but you are hiding here and being a turtle." Nangong Yuling felt a big stone in her heart, seeing the villagers in the village , One by one lost her soul, she became more and more irritable, she was used to watching with cold eyes, she changed a lot after arriving in Qingyun Village, at least she cared about the people in this village very much.Unable to find a place to vent, he came directly to Cheng Cheng as a punching bag.

"Is it necessary for you to talk about it after being saved? I'm not a god, so I can't bring the dead back to life." Cheng Cheng was also angry. At this time, he was in a terrible mood, and he was not in the mood to argue with her fearlessly here, so he couldn't help but roar.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and seeing the night gradually shrouded, the life of the old village owner was about to come to an end.Every second passed, it felt like a needle was stuck in Cheng Cheng's heart. He was no more painful than Nangong Yuling about the old village master, and he felt guilty.

"Chengcheng, I beg you, as long as you cure the old village master, I promise to be your woman, and only your woman." Nangong Yuling's eyes turned red when she took the initiative to throw herself into Cheng Cheng's arms However, when Cheng Cheng was asked to kill Nangong Zhanpeng in the Phoenix City Palace, she did not agree to him willingly, but used him to borrow a knife to kill someone.Now, in order to make the old village master better, and to make the villagers in the whole village happy, she completely let go of her guard and accept Cheng Sheng, as long as he can save the old village master.

Cheng Cheng was in a dilemma. Conquering Nangong Yuling had always been a knot in his heart. Only by bringing her into the harem could he embrace the beauty and at the same time make Liu Sishi no longer wrinkle her eyebrows all day long, so she Cheng Sheng was very tempted by the conditions.

But the old village master's illness is really hopeless, otherwise he would have healed the old village master without her asking. He also has a kind feeling for the people in Qingyun village, and he also regards them as relatives. Would you like to see such a scene?
"Without the water of life, I really can't do anything. The old village master's health is so bad that he doesn't even dare to cure the poison." With his arms around her back, holding Nangong Yuling tightly, Cheng Cheng closed his eyes Said with regret.

Despair has enveloped the entire Qingyun Village. At the moment when the master of the old village is dying, Cheng Cheng and Nangong Yuling, who were hugging each other, heard a hasty knock on the door, and then they separated. After clearing up their emotions, Cheng Cheng walked forward opened the door.

As soon as the door was opened, a figure rushed in, almost crashing into Cheng Cheng's arms, looking anxious.After seeing the person who broke into the house recklessly, he couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Catherine, where did you go?"

At this moment, Catherine was panting heavily, her forehead was covered with fine sweat, and she looked exhausted.After disappearing in Qingyunzhai for several days, he finally rushed back, took out an exquisite crystal bottle and handed it to Cheng Cheng, and then he regained his ability to speak: "Here, here you are, hurry up"

Cheng Cheng took the crystal bottle, it wasn't big, it was only about the size of a small jade bottle for pills, the neck of the bottle was very short, the whole was in a spherical shape, and the workmanship was very delicate and lovely.He couldn't help but asked in doubt: "What is this thing? You haven't said where you have been these days? You didn't even say hello, don't you know how worrying it is?" Lin disappeared for a few days for no reason, and Cheng Cheng always had a lump in his heart, because he had never seen her disappear so quietly.

Seeing that Cheng Cheng was so worried about herself, Catherine pursed her lips and smiled, and then said in a panic: "This is the water of life, please take it to the old village master, hurry up."

"What? Water of life! Your brain is not burned out, are you?" Cheng Cheng picked up the crystal bottle and looked at it. Although the bottle is not big, if it contains water of life, there are at least fifty drops of water in it. What is this? concept?He reached out and touched her forehead, except for wiping off a little fragrant sweat, there was no sign of fever?

"Oh, what are you doing?" Slapping away the hand touching her forehead, Catherine eagerly snatched the crystal bottle from his hand, pulled out the cork, and immediately a strong breath of life enveloped the entire room In it, it is full of aura of heaven and earth.

Cheng Cheng was dumbfounded all of a sudden, staring at Catherine blankly, even Nangong Yuling parted her red lips lightly, and then covered her small mouth with her slender fingers, obviously very surprised.

"Should I believe it this time? I'll explain it to you later. Take it to save Laozhai." Putting the cork back on, Catherine handed him the crystal bottle in her hand.

Swallowing his saliva hard, Cheng Cheng was still a little dazed as if he was in a dream, he pinched himself and felt the pain to deny the possibility of dreaming.I don't know how she got so much eau-de-vie, even Sister Zixiang found it difficult to get a few drops of eau-de-vie, but she brought so much with so little effort, it's incredible.

There are too many question marks in my mind, and countless doubts to ask Catherine. Although I have lived together for so long, all the information about this tomboy is blank, like a blank sheet of paper. Only now do I realize that I really don’t understand she is gone.

But now that the old village master was in danger, Cheng Cheng didn't have the heart to ask her any more. He took the water of life, and exchanged glances with Nangong Yuling, seeing the light of surprise in each other's eyes.Afterwards, the three of them rushed out of the room together and ran towards the old village owner's house.

"Shen Lang, the water of life is brought, hurry up and prepare a basin of clean water, the old village master may be saved!" When he ran into the house, he saw Shen Lang and some disciples were arranging funeral arrangements, Cheng Cheng pulled him and shouted, Then he ran towards the old village master's wing.Right now, he was competing with the god of death for time, and every minute and every second was very important to him, and it was also very important to the old village owner, so he ran to the old village owner's wing without too much explanation.

Shen Lang was still out of his wits at first, with grief brewing in his chest, he was dragged by Cheng Cheng and shouted such a sentence, and stood there in a daze for nearly ten seconds.After the brain regained the ability to turn, the thing in his hand fell to the ground with a bang, and his heart beat twice fiercely, and then ecstasy appeared on his face.

In the past two days, because of the matter of the old village lord, Shen Lang's mood has also been ups and downs, and his heart is almost unbearable.Then he called a younger brother over and told him to fetch a basin of clean water to the master's room, so he rushed over to the master's room.

The old village owner lying on the bed was already dying, only half of his breath was left to hang. After hearing Cheng Cheng's words, he seemed to be insisting, he didn't want to leave his wife and leave alone, otherwise the situation wouldn't be like this optimistic.

"Quickly, help him sit up." Cheng Cheng said to the two people beside him. Catherine and Nangong Yuling understood, and hurried forward to carefully help the old village owner up, fearing that a little more force would half-shackle him The tone was dropped.

Cheng Cheng uncorked the crystal bottle, and the strong breath of life enveloped the whole room. At this moment, Shen Lang broke in and felt the strong breath of life. He was pleasantly surprised. He didn't expect the water of life to arrive. Arrived very promptly.
