Chapter 12 Protecting Pu'er with His Life

Dongfang Yixian continued to move forward, didn't go far, suddenly felt a cold behind him, hurriedly dodged, his left shoulder was still hit by a stone, he turned around, and saw the girl riding on the back of a wild boar, squinting at his eyes, one hand on his waist, staring at him, and said, "Hey, did you see me?"

Dongfang Yixian looked at her carefully, and at this time the girl already had clothes on her body, patches and patches, and the shabby ones didn't know what the fabric looked like before, but it was still complete. It's just that she's barefoot and doesn't wear shoes.

The boar is very rich, with more than a dozen snake meats hanging on it, and the snake skin is spread on the back of the wild boar, as if it is a cushion designed by a girl, and the wild boar's bristles are very hard, which is a good method. Seven or eight hares and pheasants. It can be seen that she hunts abundantly.

"I've hunted here a lot and I've never met anyone. The girl was a little shy and said, "I saw that you saw me, and I was afraid that I would be scratched by the branches, so I was reluctant to wear it." The girl picked up a pheasant from the boar's back and threw it to Dongfang Yixian and said, "This pheasant is for you, don't tell anyone about it." ”

"Hmm" Dongfang Yixian caught the pheasant, a little at a loss, it turned out that it was a poor girl hunting, afraid of scratching her clothes, she still thought that people were savages?

"You are really good at hunting" Dongfang Yixian took out an ingots from his arms and threw it to the girl: "Thank you for the pheasant, the silver will buy you clothes." ”

The girl reached out to catch the ingots and said with a smile: "The pheasant is not worth much, give you two more hares" She swished over, patted the boar's buttocks, and said, "Little Black, let's go." "The wild boar was really obedient, and swooped out, extremely fast, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Dongfang Yixian was stunned, and said loudly: "Girl, what's your name?"

The girl's silver-bell-like laughter came from the deep grass in the dense forest: "You don't come to this hillside in the future, this is my territory." ”

"What a wonderful person. A smile appeared on Dongfang Yixian's lips and rode away.

As soon as Dongfang Yixian arrived at the tea garden, he went straight to the third uncle in charge and asked him to go to Shengge to get drunk to deal with the aftermath.

As soon as the third uncle heard the reason, he hurriedly prepared a carriage and set off, and when he arrived at the intersection of the tea garden, he met Dongfang Yichen again, and the third uncle stopped to greet him and stepped forward to salute.

Dongfang Yichen exchanged a few words with the third uncle, took out the silver money bag entrusted by Miss Wanyu from his arms, and handed the silver on his body to the third uncle, asking him to bring it to Miss Wanyu's family.

The third uncle repeatedly stated that Young Master Dongfang Yixian had already arranged it and gave a lot of silver. Dongfang Yichen waved his hand and sent the third uncle to run errands, the third uncle had to collect the money, and drove to the tavern to collect the girl's body, and said in his heart, with so much money, there are more than dozens of maids who are bouncing around, I really don't know what happened to the two young masters?

Dongfang Yixian and Dongfang Yichen arrived at the front and rear feet, sat down in the front hall, and Bai Chu, the head of the tea garden, immediately presented new tea and account books.

Dongfang Yichen looked at Bai Chu, only to see that he had a moth brow, and his skin was like congealed fat. Dressed in a white robe, with flowing black hair and a silver belt on her forehead, she looks like a beauty walking down from a painting.

His voice was crisp and weak, and there was no sign of a man, Dongfang Yichen said in his heart, if it wasn't for the eldest brother who greeted him in advance, if he didn't take off his pants, I wouldn't believe it, he was a man.

Dongfang Yixian saw Dongfang Yichen staring at Bai Chu, and introduced: "Bai Chu, this is the second young master, Dongfang Yichen's son. ”

Bai Chu hurriedly bowed and saluted: "I have heard the chivalrous name of Dongfang Yichen Gongzi for a long time, he is a young hero, and he admires him very much, villain Bai Chu, meet the second young master." He curts.

Dongfang Yichen hurriedly helped Bai Chu up, and said: "Dongfang Yichen admires Mr. Bai Chu's tea ceremony very much, Mr. Don't bother Yichen, you and I are of the same age, if you don't dislike it, it's good to be a brother." ”

Dongfang Yixian said: "I think it's very good, Bai Chu, go and make you Brother Yichen a pot of Pu'er tea that is not a rat feces flavor." ”

Bai Chu said with a smile: "The villain has trespassed, so I will serve Brother Yichen to drink tea." As he spoke, he took out a purple pottery tea pot from the tea cabinet, took out a spoonful of tea leaves with a teaspoon covered with silver and jade, and only heard Bai Chu say: "This is the Pu'er tea that the villain brought back from his hometown in Yunnan. ”

"Bai Chu, my father has never mentioned this to me, you can tell me about it quickly. Dongfang Yixian said: "Last time my father brought home a small can, I drank it a few times, I thought it was very good, and then I went to ask for it, and my father said that the delicacy can only be tasted carefully, if it is filled with donkeys, the tea leaves of Jiufeng Tea Garden will be made with you, and I am reluctant to give it to me." ”

Bai Chu cleaned the tea set, warmed the cup and ironed the kettle, swirled with both hands, and the movements were gentle and graceful. He smiled lightly and said, "The eldest young master doesn't know that the origin of these pots of tea is very tortuous. ”

Bai Chu lit the tea stove, scooped out a scoop of spring water from a celadon low vat, poured it into the copper kettle, and said: "After the Oriental Lord of Yunnan tasted the tea merchant's century-old Pu'er, he greatly appreciated it, and admired it, I saw this, I dare not hide it, the villain's family has been a tea slave for generations, and the production of Pu'er has a history of three hundred years, and each generation of tea makers will store some tea leaves in the ancestors. ”

Dongfang Yichen said: "Just for a few cans of tea, the owner of the tea garden will kill people? ”

Bai Chu said: "The life of a tea slave, in the eyes of the lord of the manor, is not as good as an ant. Parents don't dare to take out the private tea, if they take it out, our family will be hanged, the rules in the manor, the tea slave is the private property of the owner of the manor, and he has no right to have anything, including his own life. If you don't show it, the charges are false, and only the two of them will die. ”

Bai Chu stared at the copper kettle, which was steaming, his eyes were blurred, as if there was a layer of tears, and he said slowly: "After my parents died, my sister and I were sold, and our family was also confiscated. The Oriental lord rescued me, and after knowing my situation, he inquired about my sister's whereabouts, and learned that my sister was sold to a brothel, and went to redeem herself, but unfortunately only brought back a corpse, although my sister was born in a slave's house, her temperament was strong, and she was humiliated, and she jumped off the building and committed suicide that day.

I was deeply favored by the Oriental Lord, and I couldn't repay it, so I took a personal companion of the Oriental Lord, took advantage of the dark moon and high wind, sneaked back to the tea garden, groped into my own home, and took out a few cans of tea. ”

"Huh?" Dongfang Yichen exclaimed, "Does the tea plantation owner know that you will go back?"

Bai Chu bowed his head and said: "Yes, he has already calculated, my parents refused to say, just to protect us, after he sold us, he sent people to garrison in the courtyard, waiting for us to throw ourselves into the net." ”

"What can I do then?" Dongfang Yixian also said anxiously: "This tea garden owner is too vicious and cunning. ”

Bai Chu took down the boiled spring water, poured it into the teapot, and washed the tea leaves first, the tea leaves were black and shiny, and faintly exuded a burst of fragrance, which made people feel shocked.
