Chapter 124: I Thought It Was a Temptation
Thank you for the six recommended votes of Little Black Plum Meat, Xin Mida~
The group was led forward by the old woman.
On the right, there is an old willow tree, and a large stone round table can be seen in the gap between the fluttering willow branches, and there are many stone benches around it.
It was also the first time they had seen such a large stone table, which could seat many people.
Everyone wondered why they had such a large stone table, and they didn't seem to see anyone else except these four women.
Everyone's hearts began to be alert, and they felt that this qiē was strange.
The old woman led them to the right, through the willows, to the stone table.
Yang Erwa looked at these willow trees and thought of the four old willow trees in the stone gate, and many things came to her mind again, and more doubts came to mind.
The old woman made a gesture of invitation and said, "Everyone, rest first, the tea will be there soon."
They sat down in turn, and the ghost sat opposite the ancient saying.
A round table, which just accommodated a few of them, happened to have four stone benches left, and the luggage was placed next to them.
As he spoke, he saw a woman come up with a tray with rows of teacups on it, but there was no teapot to be seen.
Although this woman was old, she was still charming, and everyone speculated that she should be a well-educated lady from a large family.
All four women were the same, and they looked similar, and they were supposed to be born of one mother.
In the midst of the confusion of the people, the woman kept smiling and walking with small steps, bent down, saluted, and put the teacup in front of them in turn. She was silent, and when the teacup was finished, she saluted everyone again, and finally to the old woman, and finally turned and went down.
The old woman made a gesture of invitation and said, "There is no good tea to entertain people from outside the world in the barren mountains here, and please Haihan."
After speaking, he smiled again, raised the teacup with both hands, and said, "There is no tea in this teacup, but weeds in the field." Take its young shoots. Dry it, take it again when you drink it, and wash it with this rootless water. Soak. After taking boiling water and boiling it, it will show its taste.
This water has a bitter taste and is sweet and clear after drinking. It has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, brightening the eyes and refreshing the mind, and please taste it carefully for people outside the world. ”
After the old woman finished speaking, she raised her glass again, brought the teacup to her lips and took a sip, and then made a gesture of invitation, and finally put the teacup on the stone table, and the teacup did not even make a sound when it touched the stone table.
Gu Yan also brought the teacup to his lips, just as the woman had already looked at the kitchen, Gu Yan hurriedly shook his head at them, and they all understood. I just brought the teacup to my lips and didn't drink it.
The woman turned her head again, and just fell her gaze on the golden bell, glanced at it, and then fell on Gu Yan, who hurriedly raised the tea to her lips, took a sip, and found that it was sweet, and thought that the old woman was testing them.
Gu Yan immediately raised his head and put the teacup on the stone table, stood up, and saluted. Said: "Granny Xie is good tea, and the sugar tastes really good."
They all reacted to what the ancient saying meant, but Yang Erwa and Yang Xiaomei didn't understand, Yang Erwa wanted to ask. Yang Xiaomei just looked at Yang Erwa in confusion.
The ghost child grabbed Yang Erwa's sleeve, shook his head, lowered his head and said, "The old saying says that tea is sweet, and the old woman is testing us."
Yang Erwa looked at the ghost ghost suspiciously, the ghost raised his eyes and nodded slightly, and then did not speak.
Yang Erwa quietly told Yang Xiaomei what the ghost had just said to him. Yang Xiaomei didn't speak, just looked at them.
"What?"
The old woman was puzzled, apparently not knowing the meaning of the ancient saying.
Gu Yan smiled and said, "We said that this tea is delicious, and what I just said is that our words there are praising your tea for being delicious."
The old woman who had been smiling all the time pulled her lips when she heard the ancient saying, but she was still smiling, and said, "No wonder the old lady can't understand what a few people from outside the world say." See laugh, see laugh. ”
Gu Yan was depressed in his heart, the etiquette of the ancients was really troublesome, and why did this old woman test them, Gu Yan was even more puzzled in his heart.
Hearing the hint of the ancient saying, the ghost man deliberately looked around, and found that there was nothing abnormal, and he was even more puzzled.
"The folk customs are different, how can you laugh?"
Gu Yan politely replied, from the beginning he suspected that they pretended to be deliberately played by the ancients, but he carefully observed the woman's words and deeds, smiled and smiled, there was no flaw at all, no actor who played ancient costumes would act so flawlessly.
"Crossing?"
The old saying is biased, and it's not like it, crossing is a thing in those novels, how could they encounter it? Gu Yan looked at the teacup on the stone table and pretended to ask casually: "Mother-in-law, tea, how can there be no teapot?"
The old woman glanced at the kitchen and replied, "The tea is boiling in the pot, and the wood is burning." If the fire is extinguished, the tea will be bitter like poison, and it will be no different from ordinary water. ”
Gu Yan nodded as if he understood, still confused in his heart, but he still had no clue.
Everyone was silent, looking at Gu Yan them.
This atmosphere is very strange.
After a while, Li Yixin stood up, saluted, and said, "Mother-in-law said that she wanted the little woman to guess the cat's thoughts, and asked her mother-in-law to lead the way." You are so good at entertaining tea, the little girl must do her best. ”
Li Yixin smiled slightly, the bad premonition in her heart became stronger and stronger, she really wanted to escape from here, where did the demon go, why hasn't she come back yet?
If you want to leave, you must help the old lady solve her cat's thoughts, just like if you want to leave Yang Xiaomei, their village must help the patriarch catch the ghost.
"So, very good, then there will be labor, please come with the old lady."
When the old woman had finished saluting, she made another gesture of invitation, and then led the way.
Li Yixin followed, and Gu Yan and they also followed. The ghost man is still at the back.
Here is a square yard surrounded by four houses, only this yard is a bit long.
The yard was wide, there was nothing but willow trees and stone tables and benches, and there were not even weeds on the ground.
The old woman said that the cat they had kept for many years was in the corner of the window lattice of the house on the left, a little far away from them, and that no one was paying attention to it, so they would not have known.
The old woman walked with everyone for a while and then stopped, and they also stopped, and the old woman turned around and said to Li Yixin: "The cat is afraid of people, so you don't have to go over, just go alone."
Li Yixin nodded, then saluted, looked at Gu Yan, Gu Yan nodded silently without speaking.
She knew what the old saying meant, smiled softly, and walked in the direction the old woman pointed.
Gu Yan looked at her back, and the old woman also looked at Li Yixin's back, Gu Yan took the opportunity to turn his head and nodded at the ghost, who understood and quietly went to the back, and slipped away when the old woman was not paying attention. (To be continued.) )
