Chapter 1463 Male Village Leader

Cross the bamboo bridge and walk into Nanzhai.

The houses, streets, and layout of the men's village are exactly the same as those of the women's village. The similarity between the two villages is like looking into a mirror.

The only difference is that in the women's village, the women are busy working on the streets, but in the men's village, the streets are empty.

It wasn't until we entered the village that a man ran out of a bamboo hut by the road.

"Didn't I tell you that we can't treat your injury? Why are you back again?" The man looked about twenty, his skin was a little tanned by the sun, he had a pair of big, round eyes, and the black eyelids were very large, giving people a A kind of honest feeling.

"A Gang," Yuchen said, "We have something to ask of the village master. Could you please lead the way?"

When he heard that we were going to see the village leader, the man named A Gang seemed to have just realized that Yuchen and the others had gone down the mountain and came back as four people.

Seeing the extra little Siqin and I, Ah Gang looked us both up and down, and finally his eyes fell on the wooden box in my hand.

"Are you from Nüzhai?" A Gang stared at the wooden box and asked me, "Did Nüzhai give you this wooden box?"

My heart suddenly lifted.

The two villages had a grudge against each other. They knew that I came from Nüzhai and saw that I was holding something from Nüzhai. Next step, he should drive me out of the male village, right?

This time I was able to enter the men's village because the men's village was unprepared. If you are kicked out, it will probably be difficult to get back in again.

I analyzed it in my mind and decided to open this wooden box now!

Opening the wooden box and releasing the Gu worms was equivalent to breaking up with the male village, and it also meant that I had completed the Holy Girl's instructions. Of the two villages, the male village and the female village, I have to make good friends with one of them, and I cannot offend both. Otherwise my hand is really hopeless.

After I came out of the women's village, I probably wouldn't have a chance to make friends with the men's village, so I might as well offend him to the end!

I made up my mind, and just when I was about to throw the wooden box to the ground, Yuchen's hand on my wrist suddenly exerted a slight force, stopping me from throwing the wooden box.

I was startled and turned my head to look at him.

Yuchen didn't look at me. His expression remained unchanged, and his black eyes had an unfathomable cold light. He said to A Gang, "This wooden box was brought to the leader of the village by the female villager who asked my wife."

What good intentions can the female village have?

With how much the men's village hates the women's village, hearing Yuchen say this makes it even more impossible for him to take us to see the village leader.

I was prepared to be kicked out of the men's village by A Gang, but what I didn't expect was that the next second, the serious look on A Gang's face disappeared and was replaced by a simple and restrained smile.

"It turns out to be the village master's guest, please come with me."

After saying that, A Gang led us forward.

There were questions in my head, and I looked at Yuchen in confusion.

Yuchen looked down at me and said a few words silently when he had time, "I'll tell you when I get down the mountain."

Ah Gang led us to a two-story bamboo house. He stood by the bamboo ladder and shouted to the top, "Grandfather, the saint has sent something to someone."

"Let them come up." An old voice came.

Hearing this, A Gang made a gesture of invitation to us.

He stood by the bamboo ladder without moving. The four of us crossed A Gang and walked up the bamboo ladder to the second floor.

When we climbed to the second floor, the door to the second floor opened and there was an old man in his seventies or eighties standing inside.

The old man is very thin, with a stooped figure. His skin, which is as dull as old tree bark, is full of wrinkles and has age spots. He was dressed in gray linen and had a white turban on his head.

After opening the door for us, the old man turned around, walked slowly to the bamboo chair, and sat on the bamboo chair holding the bamboo pole next to him.

He just walked a few steps to open the door, but it seemed that he had exhausted all his strength. The old man opened his mouth and gasped for air. After a while, he coughed violently again, as if he was choking on the air. He coughed and his whole body trembled.

I couldn't help but worry, fearing that he would be unable to breathe and cough himself to death.

The leader of the village is an old man, which surprised me. Looking at it now, the old man's health is still not good, and he feels that he has run out of energy. His appearance makes me even more puzzled.

According to the situation at the Nv Village, they were disciples of the King of Medicine. The King of Medicine taught them to cultivate immortality. With the help of spiritual power and medicine, although they had not yet become immortals, they already had the ability to live forever.

This old man is the leader of the male village. There is no reason why he cannot live forever.

"She," the old man finally stopped coughing, gasped, and asked me with difficulty, "what did she give you?"

I handed the wooden box to the old man and said, "Master, this is what the saint gave me."

The old man stretched out his hand to take the wooden box tremblingly, and asked at the same time, "What medicine does she want to exchange this for?"

I glanced at Yuchen.

Yuchen nodded gently to me, and then I answered, "The saint said that Aconitum was needed to treat my hands, and she asked me to ask for the medicine."

"Ha..." With a wry smile, the old man took the wooden box over, as if he had found some treasure. He put the wooden box on his legs, and gently rubbed the wooden box with his old hands, "She must have heard that I need straw. Wu Xuansheng, that’s why I asked you to beg Caotouwu. After so many years, she is still obsessed with taking my life.”

After saying that, the old man turned his head and looked at me. His eyes were cloudy, and there was no trace of the spirit of a Taoist.

"Besides this wooden box, did she bring me anything else?"

Speaking of this, the old man's eyes shone with hope.

I looked at the old man and shook my head, "No."

After hearing my answer, the light in the old man's eyes slowly dimmed, "She wanted my life, but she didn't say a word to me. Even if she said a word, she wanted me to die?"

I don't know what the old man is thinking, but looking at him, his pain doesn't seem to be fake.

"Grandpa, village master," Xiao Siqin suddenly spoke, her clear voice echoing in the bamboo house, "Are you the scumbag who betrayed the female monk back then? You killed the female monk's child and forced the female monk to death. Saint Isn't it right that you want to avenge the female monk and the child? The posture you are putting on now makes it seem as if the saint is sorry for you. It's obviously you who did something wrong, isn't it?"

"Xiao Siqing." I scolded, "Don't be rude."

"Don't discipline your children," the old man looked at Xiao Siqin, with a loving light in his eyes, "She is right, I am the one who did the wrong thing, I deserve to be retaliated, and she deserves no matter how she treats me. .”

After saying that, the old man reached to the table beside him, opened the drawer, and took out a golden box.

The box is about the size of an adult's hand, and the shell is made of pure gold.

When I saw the box, I was shocked and felt very unbelievable at any time.

Did he give us the Grass Toucan so easily?

Isn't he using the grass-headed acorn to prolong his life? He doesn't want to live anymore?

When I was confused, the old man opened the box.

The box has two layers, the outer layer is made of pure gold, and the inner layer is made of thousand-year-old ice.

A black herb that looked like a dead branch lay in the ice.

The old man handed the box to me and said, "This is Caotuou Wu, take it. Take it to the saint and ask her to help you cure it."
