The two of them walked forward for miles, and in front of them a white-haired old man was bending over to weed in the fields of reclaimed plains. Lin Jue looked at the crops in the field, but he didn't know it. The crop had some leaves, green with yellow, yellow with withered, but I don't know what kind of crop it was.

When the farmer noticed that someone was coming to the field, he hurriedly straightened up and looked, and when he saw two men in armor, his face turned a little pale with fright, and he thought that he had done something.

"Hello, uncle." Lin Jue waved his hand in greeting.

The old man hurriedly came to the field, knelt down and kowtowed, and said, "Two masters, you are accommodating, this taro can't be accepted." It's grown too slowly, and it's not yet in shape. How many days can I forgive the food owed to the cottage? ”

Lin Jue smiled dumbly, Gao Muqing smiled and stepped forward to help the old man and said, "Uncle, we are not here to collect food, we are not from your cottage, we just walk around." ”

"Oh, I see, I was scared to death, and I thought it was sent by the cottage to collect food. It's good if it's not, it's good if it's not. Ay! I can't wait for a season this season, but how can it be good. The old man stood up and said.

Lin Jue pointed to the crops in the field and said, "Uncle, you just said that taro is planted in this field?" ”

"yes, it's white taro." The old man said.

Lin Jue smiled: "Uncle, don't you joke, fool me that I don't know taro?" My hometown is in the south, and the taro we have there is more than one person tall, and the leaves are fat and big like lotus leaves. Your crop is not a foot high, and its leaves are thin and small, how can it be taro? ”

The old man glared and said, "This little brother, can the old man still lie to you?" This is taro. ”

Lin Jue saw that he said solemnly, and then took a closer look at the crop, and found that it was really taro. The peach-shaped leaves and green leaf stalks, except for the short and yellow thin, are exactly the same as the taro seen in Hangzhou.

"It's strange, what kind of taro is this, how can it be so short." Lin Jue said strangely.

"Short? It's nice to be alive. It seems that you really are not from our stockade, so it's no wonder you don't know. It's not easy to grow crops in the fields of our valley. It's amazing to be able to plant and live. The land here is very tight when trees and grass grow, but unfortunately the crops just can't be planted. Those who have sown alive will not reap well. My land is pretty good, but if you go and see the land in front of me, it's worse than mine. The old man said with foaming at the mouth.

Lin Jue frowned and said, "Why is that?" How so? ”

The old man said, "Why? The mud doesn't make it. Look at the mud. The old man stretched out his hand and pulled out a lump of wet mud from the ground, brought it to Lin Jue and said, "You see, this mud looks very fertile, but there are some yellow things in this mud, and it smells very pungent." This thing still hurts people, and my two feet, you see, are all rotten. ”

The old man threw away the mud and pulled up his trousers. Lin Jue and Gao Muqing looked fixedly, only to see that the skin and flesh of the old man's feet and calves were collapsed, the skin fell off in some places, and the old skin of white flowers in some places. It's like it's corroded.

Gao Muqing turned his head and didn't dare to look more, but Lin Jue seemed to be thoughtful, and after a while, he squatted down and sniffed the mud with his hands.

Gao Muqing hurriedly said: "Don't touch it, didn't you hear my husband say that this mud can make people's skin and flesh rot?" ”

Lin Jue turned a deaf ear and sniffed it carefully, there was indeed a pungent smell, and there were some yellow fine particles mixed in the mud. Lin Jue threw away the mud, wiped his hands on the turf and said, "I understand." ”

"Understand what?" Gao Muqing asked.

Lin Jue smiled mysteriously and said, "Walk with me again, I think the crops in this valley should be like this." ”

Gao Muqing was very puzzled, and could only follow Lin Jue forward. In the distance ahead, there is a large field with paddy fields and vegetable ridges. But without exception, the crops here are malnourished, much different from the crops outside.

"What the hell are you going to do? God mysterious. Gao Muqing couldn't help but sneer.

Lin Jue smiled and said: "Mu Qing, this Taoyuan Dazhai is really a golden jade outside." I wondered before, how can this Taoyuan Dazhai exist for a hundred years, how can it be on such a scale? It stands to reason that this large valley can support more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, but there are only more than 3,000 soldiers and horses in this cottage, and the people here are all yellow and thin, as if they can't eat enough. I now know the real reason. ”

Gao Muqing was puzzled: "What is the reason for that?" ”

Lin Jue smiled: "The reason is the soil here, and the yellow thing in the soil just now is sulfur." It was originally a volcanic crater, and when the volcano erupted, the soil was still acidic many years later. And it is difficult for crops to survive in such soils. Like the crops we saw just in time, taro. Barley, wheat, etc., are very adaptable crops, and these crops are grown here. And even so, it is short and thin, and the harvest is not good. Therefore, this cottage can't support more soldiers and horses. ”

“……”

Gao Muqing was confused, what sulfur, what soil had turned sour, what volcanic eruption, she didn't understand what Lin Jue was saying at all. In the end, I only understood one sentence, that is, the land here is not suitable for growing crops.

Lin Jue noticed Gao Muqing's confusion, but he didn't care about it, he knew that this kind of thing was difficult to explain to Gao Muqing, if the little county lord was here, she would be much easier to understand. There was a time when Lin Jue and the little county lord talked about many things beyond this era, but the little county lord not only did not treat Lin Jue as an alternative, but was quite interested in getting to the bottom of it. It was also from that time that Lin Jue realized that he really had feelings for the little county lord, and that was the first time Lin Jue had this feeling after the intimate contact in the forest hut.

"Mu Qing, do you know what this thing means?" Lin Jue asked with a smile.

What does that mean? You seem to be having a good time. Gao Muqing asked puzzled.

"This means that I have a good condition to talk to the Muslim League, and I can guarantee that the Muslim League will not embarrass us again. Because I'm going to make a condition that will be hard for him to refuse. Lin Jue said with a smile.

Gao Muqing was even more puzzled, and looked at Lin Jue in a daze.

Lin Jue whispered a few words in Gao Muqing's ear, and Gao Muqing's eyes widened and said, "Really? Can you really do it? Can you come up with a solution? ”

Lin Jue laughed and said, "I can't lie to you?" Let's go and ask to see Mu Zhenshan and talk to him about the deal. ”

……

In the brightly lit hall, Mu Zhenshan sat on a chair and drank tea. The figure in front of the hall flickered, and a middle-aged man walked in quickly, came to Mu Zhenshan and bowed down and said, "Daddy, the tall village master and Fang Junshi of Luoyan Valley are here." ”

Mu Zhenshan put down the teacup and said in a deep voice: "Let them in." ”

"Yes." Mu Buping turned around and went out, and Mu Zhenshan added behind him: "Let them not bring weapons, especially firearms." Absolutely not to bring in. ”

Mu Buping turned his head and agreed, and continued to walk out. Mu Zhenshan sat up straight and said to himself, "I don't want to be the second Zuo Zongdao. ”

Not long after, there was a sound of footsteps outside the hall, and Gao Muqing and Lin Jue appeared at the door one after the other, the two of them were dressed in black cloaks, as if they suddenly emerged from the darkness.

Mu Zhenshan stood up and gave up his hand. Gao Muqing and Lin Jue also walked a few steps quickly and stepped forward to salute.

"I've seen the Lord of the Mu League, it's really rude to come so late to ask to see the Lord of the Mu League." Gao Muqing said.

Mu Zhenshan smiled and said, "If you say anything, please sit down." In fact, the old man estimated that you were coming, but he didn't expect the old man to guess correctly. ”

Lin Jue smiled: "Oh? Did the Lord of the Muslim League guess that we were coming? ”

Mu Zhenshan said: "Of course, you should come." During the day, you annoyed a lot of cottage owners, and it was the old man who suspended the discussion, so as not to intensify the matter. When you calm down, you will naturally realize that you have gone too far. Tomorrow morning will make the final decision on whether you can become a member of Funiu Mountain, so you must be in a hurry to come to the old man tonight to find out the news. I don't know if the old man guessed right. ”

Mu Zhenshan wiped the beard on his chin and said quite smugly.

Lin Jue shook his head secretly in his heart, this Mu Zhenshan was very confident in himself, and thought that the two of them were going to come to him tonight to confess. As everyone knows, I don't have this kind of thinking at all. However, Lin Jue didn't intend to demolish him and embarrass him. So he laughed and was noncommittal.

The three of them sat down, and Mu Buping also sat aside. Someone brought tea.

"Gao Dazhai Master, Master Fang, you taste this tea. This is my own tea from Taoyuan Dazhai. I have spring all year round, and new sprouts emerge every season. This stubble was just picked after the new year, at least two months before the new tea from outside came to market. If anyone in the world can taste new tea first, it is the old man. Guo Chong, the emperor in Bianliang City, is afraid that he doesn't have the old man's blessings. Taste, taste, you are also considered to be blessed. Mu Zhenshan said with a smile.

Gao Muqing and Lin Jue both picked up the teacup and took a sip, and sure enough, the fragrance was full of fragrance, and they were full of relish.

"How?" Mu Zhenshan asked with a smile.

"It's very good, it's comparable to the famous tea outside, and even surpasses it." Lin Jue picked his fingers and praised.

Mu Zhenshan patted his thigh and said, "Look, you still have vision, after all, you came in from outside the mountain." These people in the mountains don't understand the quality of tea, and they can't tell the good from the bad. Giving them to drink is equivalent to a cow chewing peonies, which is pure waste. ”

Lin Jue smiled slightly and said, "This valley is suitable for growing tea." The terrain is high and the temperature is warm. Wet, it's a good place to make good tea. My family and I went out for a walk in the evening, and saw a large tea garden on the hillside near the surrounding area, so we knew that there was good tea here. ”

Mu Zhenshan smiled: "Oh? You've gone out for a walk, haven't you? That's a heart. My Taoyuan Dazhai has also entered the two-position magic eye. ”

Gao Muqing smiled and said: "Taoyuan Dazhai is simply a paradise in the world. It's cold outside, but the flowers here are full of flowers, and the four seasons are like spring. It's like a paradise. ”

Mu Zhenshan laughed and nodded: "Awards, awards." stained with the light of the predecessors, and found this place of existence. Although it is not a place on earth, it is also a place that is difficult to find in the world. ”

Mu Buping on the side also nodded proudly and smiled.

Lin Jue suddenly said: "It's a pity, everything in Guizhai is good, but there is one." Tea can't be eaten. The master of the Mu League has planted so many tea trees, can't the whole village chew tea leaves and eat them as meals every day? ”

Mu Zhenshan was stunned and looked at Lin Jue in a daze.
