Chapter 312: It's Time to Let Go
A cup of tea, a residual lamp.
In this ancient village, in a dark and secluded room, facing an old man who was already over 100 years old, Lu Yu suddenly felt very peaceful and comfortable in his heart.
Although there is a huge gap in age between the two, they have become bosom friends who talk about everything because of their same love for tea.
Uncle has lived in the village for a long time, and rarely chats with people about tea, but after seeing Lu Yu today, he poured out the words that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time.
And Lu Yu also became a pious student at this time, listening carefully, and deeply imprinting the old man's words in his heart.
For Lu Yu, every word of Uncle A's words is very important.
Because Uncle witnessed the smoke years in China, and told a lot of unknown stories about the past of tea in those years.
In the smoke years of China, there is also the shadow of tea.
Even if Xia tea is not taken seriously in this world, there are still countless tea lovers in Huaxia.
Even if human life was not as good as pigs and dogs in those years, there were still countless people who worked hard for Huaxia tea, even at the cost of their lives.
When Xinyang shook the Thunder Mountain, Lu Yu was moved by the matter of paying the monks for protecting the tea.
But he didn't expect that in Uncle A's heartfelt complaint, there were countless "paid monks" in those dark years!
……
Uncle Ah spoke wonderfully, because he personally experienced those blood-stained years.
Lu Yu listened very carefully, as if he was in the middle of the scene.
If they were given enough time, the old and the young would have stayed awake all night with the dead lights.
But apparently they don't have that much time now, because it wasn't long before Uncle Da's voice was already ringing outside.
"Uncle, did you see ...... Lu Yu: Why are you here?!"
Uncle Da looked at Lu Yu who was sitting opposite Uncle Ah with some astonishment, he originally wanted to come to serve tea to Uncle Ah and send the prey for this hunt, and at the same time wanted to look for Lu Yu who had never appeared in the square by the way.
didn't expect Lu Yu to be here with Uncle A, and it seemed that the two of them got along very well.
Seeing Uncle Da coming, Lu Yu stood up with a smile and greeted: "Uncle Da, you are here." ”
Uncle Ah also raised his head with a smile and said, "Ada, come and sit." ”
Uncle Da frowned and glanced at Lu Yu, and then said with some displeasure: "Uncle, he is ......"
Uncle Ah smiled: "I know, he is a tea man." But what about the tea people? Ada, it's been hundreds of years since that incident, so will our village never come into contact with the tea people?"
"But Uncle ......"
Uncle Ah smiled and waved his hand, "Okay, I'm old, I shouldn't care about things in the village." But you have to believe me, I can feel that this young man named Lu Yu was sent by the gods to help us in the village!"
"God?" Uncle Da looked at Uncle Ah in some surprise.
In the ancient villages of such ethnic minorities, the elderly often have high prestige, and many people believe that the older they live, the closer they are to the gods, and even the more they can hear the will of the gods.
It's just that Uncle Ah is an old man who has experienced life and death, and has also seen the world. Although he also believed in the gods, he never thought that the gods would really give him a decree to educate future generations.
Now it is also the first time that Uncle Da has heard about the will of the gods from Uncle A's mouth, and he can't help but look a little confused.
Uncle nodded firmly, "There are some things I have never told you, even your father or grandfather don't know. But now I can tell you with certainty that Lu Yu is the one sent by the gods to prosper our stockade!"
When Uncle Da heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Lu Yu suspiciously.
Lu Yu also smiled slightly, he knew that no matter how much he said, he was afraid that it would not be as effective as Uncle A's words.
Uncle Ah continued: "Ada, I have seen too many things in my life...... Looking back now, it seems like it was only yesterday when I took your grandfather up the mountain to hunt. The village we live in now was also rebuilt by me with my own hands, piece by piece of wood. ”
Uncle Da said: "Uncle, what are you talking about?"
Uncle Ah shook his head and sighed, "Don't you understand? Our village has been going through many generations after that catastrophe, right? Why hasn't the number of people in our village increased much?"
Uncle Da silently said: "It's not because we are poor and have no money to treat our illnesses when we are sick, very few children in the village can live to adulthood, and they lose more ...... when hunting in the mountains."
Uncle Ah knocked on the table, his bark-like face trembled slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Is it just because of poverty? You should understand that the real reason is not this, but because we have always rejected the world outside the mountains and are unwilling to communicate with the outside world. ”
Uncle Da fell silent.
Although Uncle Ah is old, he is not confused, he sees it very thoroughly.
The people in the village are simple and enthusiastic, which is their nature, but they are reluctant to come into contact with the outside world from the bottom of their hearts. For many years, the government wanted to help the people in the village live a modern life, to help them develop the mountains and forests, connect the villages to electric lines and telephones, and improve their medical conditions.
But almost all of this was rejected by the people in the stockade, who were cautious and guarded against everything.
Everything is because of those "ancestral teachings".
Uncle Ah sighed and said, "Zu Xun is not wrong, but now the times have changed. Our country is no longer the era of war and strife, and human life is not as good as pigs and dogs, if we continue like this, our stockade will disappear sooner or later!"
Uncle Da frowned, of course this middle-aged man knew that what Uncle Ah said was right, but he had been nurtured by "ancestral training" since he was a child, and he still couldn't get over this hurdle in his heart.
Uncle Gong: "It's time to let go!"
Uncle Da hesitated for a moment, but finally mustered up the courage to say, "Uncle, I also know what you said, but why Lu Yu?"
Uncle Ah smiled: "Because I heard the will of the gods, I remember that in the past, you and my father often asked me if I could hear the will of the gods, but I really didn't hear it at that time, and I didn't want to lie to you." But now I really hear it!"
As he spoke, he turned his face to the direction where Lu Yu was, and said very solemnly: "The god told me that Lu Yu is the noble man he sent to revitalize our village, he can not only make our village develop and grow, but also make all the people in the village live a rich life! He will let our children and grandchildren grow up healthily, will make us no longer suffer from lack of medical care, and our village will change because of him!"
While speaking, Uncle A's face also showed excitement.
This centenarian has experienced too many vicissitudes, but now he sees great hope in his eyes, which have long been blind!
Lu Yu was deeply moved, and looked at Uncle Da eagerly in a blink of an eye.
Uncle Da took a deep breath, and finally nodded and said, "Okay...... I believe in Uncle, but ...... The premise is that Lu Yu must make everyone else in the village trust him!"
