Chapter 063: Secret
Early the next morning, Wen Xu got up and was still washing, and Shi Shangzhen arrived at the gate of the courtyard fully armed and slapped the door. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Wen Xu opened the door and took a look, and was directly happy, only to see that the current Shi Shangzhen was wearing a jacket on his upper body, a canvas hat on his head, and high-top field boots on his feet, and his feet were also waterproof, and the trousers were tightly tied into the boots.
"You're dressed?"
"What's wrong? It's in the mountains over there, and I've heard that the road near the old forest is not easy to walk, and there are snakes or something," Shi Shangzhen said.
Wen Xu looked at Shi Shangzhen and said, "You will be lucky when you encounter a snake, you will have a good meal at noon today! It is not easy to see a snake worthy of you wearing this kind of treatment!"
Snakes also have to eat, mainly voles and some small things, now in this gourd basin of Wenjia Village, in addition to the big pigweed is the big pigweed, plus the crops are barren, where are there any voles, even if there are a few house mice or something, it is enough for the cats in the village to stuff their teeth, how can it be the turn of the snake.
Wen Xu remembered that when he was a child, there were snakes or something at home, but now there is no food in the village, and there are fewer rats and snakes have moved, not to mention any wild snakes.
"In a way, the ecology has not fully recovered, in the past, voles and snakes could be seen from time to time, but now you have to try your luck if you want to see them, and you can be happy for a long time when you see a pheasant or rabbit, which is not comparable to when I was a child," Wen Xu said.
Shi Shangzhen said: "Don't be verbose, you hurry up and brush your teeth, the old director will be here soon!"
Wen Xu didn't close the door, turned around and went into the pressurized water well in the yard, and began to brush his teeth.
After a while, Wen Shigui arrived at Wen Xu's courtyard, in addition to Wen Shigui, there are also Wen Shijie and Wen Shiqing, the junior has Wen Guangjun, his age is considered to be the eldest among the younger generation, Wen Xu's nephew is in his early sixties, let's put it this way, the entire Wen family village is now counted, almost all of them are in Wen Xu's small courtyard.
"Brothers, why is it such a big formation, isn't it just to look at a tea tree?" I don't know if it's true or not," Wen Xu said.
"What Uncle Nine said I think is suspenseful, although I say that there are few old graves, but it is impossible not to be impressed" Wen Shijie has always been the accountant of the village, and it can be said that he knows what is valuable in the village, and now I heard that there are more than a dozen old tea trees, which is a must-see.
"Where's Ninth Grandpa?" asked Wen Xu.
"The old man lost his temper at home today, saying that he shouldn't be sweeping the grave today and not going, I went to coax Shiqing for a long time, I didn't get a good word, and I was scolded for almost a quarter of an hour in front of the younger generations of the family, and my second brother and I had to run away," Wen Shiqing said.
Wen Shijie said with a smile: "Isn't training you grandson, training others must be at least great-grandsons! Why do you still want to be with the third master?"
"your eggs!" Wen Shiqing scolded with a smile. The third master is Wen Shiqing's father, and Wen Shijie joked that Wen Shiqing and his old son are the same generation, so Wen Shiqing scolded back with a smile.
Wen Xu can imagine the scene of the two being tamed, this old man's current 'Yiba' in Wenjia Village is only the highest grandchildren, he scolds people and no one can fight back, whether the beating is justified or not, then you can only run.
"Director Shi's dress is like going into the city," Wen Shiqing noticed that Shi Shang was really dressed and said.
Wen Xu is so happy that he can't make a sound!
"Okay, everyone is here, let's go?" Wen Shigui glanced at the people in the small courtyard.
As soon as Wen Shigui said this, the middle school in the small courtyard walked out, Wen Xu called the pillars and went out of the yard to find that there was a yellow dog of Wen Shigui's family at the door of the courtyard, a gray four-eyed earth dog of Wen Shiqing's family, the so-called four-eyed dog is the kind of earth dog with brown spots on the eyebrows, which looks like it has four eyes.
The three dogs got together, the pillars were silent, and the other two dogs followed suit. Except for the voices of a few people, and one or two hares were startled, which caused three dogs to chase after them, no other animals were encountered.
Shi Shangzhen saw a lot of things along the way, such as sporadically fallen fruit trees, peaches, plums, etc., anyway, they were all things that were made before, and the fruits could not be sold, and the villagers were too lazy to cut them.
"I think this ditch is quite good, why is it not maintained and let it be so deserted," Shi Shangzhen looked at the filling ditch next to him and said with a little pity.
Wen Shigui stretched out his hand and pointed to a mountain not far away and said: "In the past, there was a small lake formed by a small spring gushing on the mountain over there, and it was sprayed from the genealogy, and the small lake was not big, and it was still sprayed in eight years, but in ninety years, the water gradually decreased, and it was not sprayed in ninety-three or ninety-four years." In the past, when the spray was sprayed, the mountains were all terraced rice fields, and they were all wheat fields and corn fields, and although the yield was small, it was still possible for the whole village to have a full stomach, but as soon as the small lake did not come out of the water, all these fields were also gone!"
Shi Shangzhen listened, he looked like a village cadre, frowned and asked, "Have you found experts to survey and map and study why the mountain spring doesn't spray?"
"I did, and the city's water conservancy experts said that the groundwater level around the area had dropped and the water could not come up," Mr. Wen said.
Shi Shangzhen could only sigh when he said this.
The closer and closer to the old grave, the denser the weeds are, and the more shrubs, mainly based on Xanthus, this thing is often thrown into the girl's hair when Wen Xu is small, and it is simple when it is lost, but it is very troublesome to take it out. Seeing these things, Wen Xu's childlike heart rose, and she wanted to pull one into Shi Shangzhen's hair, but seeing her short hair, her interest suddenly decreased by more than half.
When I arrived at the old tomb, I didn't need to look for it at all, at first glance, I saw a group of tea trees standing in the southeast corner of the old tomb, although the tree grew quite tall, but Wen Shigui knew at a glance that this was a genuine tea tree, and it was connected together, and there was a very craggy trunk with a sense of age, all of which showed that these teas were things of the age, and looking at the village scars left by cutting the tree pole and urging new branches several times on the root, it would take two or three hundred years to grow such a thick trunk.
The four old men were completely dumbfounded when they looked at each other, and each of them had a strange expression on their faces, thinking that they were amnesia, and they didn't remember that there were these tea trees near the old grave at all.
The conflict between himself and reality is too obvious, these tea trees are definitely not everyone's fantasy, whether it is touching or sniffing, Wen Shigui can be sure that what he sees now is a genuine tea tree, and it is not the kind of arbor-type wild tea tree, this kind of cutting and urging new branches shows that this is completely a tea tree in the tea garden, and now what he sees is an abandoned antique-level old tea garden!
"Looks like I'm getting old, and I'm having trouble remembering!" thought to the old men.
The facts are in front of you, everyone now thinks that it must be their own memory deviation, no one thought that someone would plant tea trees for themselves, who would have thought that there was such a good thing, now the eyes see the 'facts' began to correct the memories in the minds of a few old people, everyone unanimously felt that their memory was wrong, these tea trees were originally there, but they came to the old tomb here too little, so I don't remember, or how would the ninth grandfather remember?
"It's true that there are these tea trees here in the old tomb, but I never knew that they were tea trees," Wen Shiqing opened his mouth and patted the stem of the tea tree and said.
Hearing Wen Shiqing's look of conviction, the rest can't say that this tree was conjured, even if it is conjured, it has to be said that it was left by the ancestors, this thing was left by the ancestors, that is, it belongs to the Wen family village, and it is said that it is the public family who doesn't know what it is.
Wen Shijie also nodded and said, "I have a memory, it turns out that this is the tea tree!"
Hearing Wen Shijie say this, Shi Shangzhen turned his gaze to Wen Shigui again, and said in his heart: As the old village chief, you also know tea, if you can't recognize one or two plants, it's just that, a full eighteen hundred-year-old tea trees, and they are obviously artificially planted into a character type, you say you recognize the tea trees? What can almost a blind person see, you can't see?
Seeing Shi Shangzhen's gaze looking at him, what else could Wen Shigui say?!
"I really don't come here here!" Wen Shigui was a little ashamed on his face.
This is the ancestral tomb, is it a glorious thing to come to the ancestral tomb less? You have come to the ancestral tomb less, and in ancient times, maybe the officials would not let you do it!
"Are you sure it's a tea tree?" Shi Shangzhen asked again.
Wen Shigui nodded affirmatively and said: "Tea trees, and these should be small tea gardens, Grandpa Jiu said that the ancestors planted them, and our children and grandchildren are ashamed!"
Shi Shangzhen heard that this was an old tea tree, so he took out his mobile phone and carefully began to take a photo of the old tea tree, Shi Shangzhen started, Wen Shigui and a few people joined in, and several people each took a group photo on the edge of the three clusters of old tea trees, and even picked some young leaves to take back.
Wen Xu pretended to be very ignorant and leaned next to everyone and reached out to pick the leaves: "I'll also pick some and go back to soak in water to drink!"
"This tea can only be brewed after frying, don't move around, you kid! We are going to send it to the experts to see what the quality of this tea is" Wen Shigui immediately pushed Wen Xu away.
"Don't talk about you, before the results are out, no one can move these tea trees!" Wen Shijie even stretched out his hand to stop between Wen Xu and the tea tree, dealing with money all his life, Wen Shijie knew that if the quality of these old tea trees was okay, it would be eighteen cash trees in the village.
Even if the quality is average, the name of the hundred-year-old tea plantation, the price of tea is not comparable to ordinary dozens of yuan a pound of coarse tea.
Shi Shangzhen said: "It's just that these tea trees don't know, and if you know, you have to find someone to watch them!"
"That's not necessary, just say it to the people of our village, for the time being, people from other villages can't come in, we have to keep this news ourselves," Wen Shigui said.
Where is Wen Xu's true talent, he stepped aside. But when he heard what Wen Shigui said about keeping secrets, he couldn't help laughing.
"Second brother, is there anyone in the village who doesn't know about this now?"
As soon as Wen Xu said this, several old faces immediately turned red! There is news that there are tea trees planted by ancestors near the old tomb, and now almost even the nursing dolls in the village know about it, and the original author of the rumor is Wen Shigui in front of him, and then there are the remaining few, one with one and no one running.
"Then you have to reiterate it when you go back, don't tell outsiders," Wen Shigui repeated with a red face.
