After picking the herbs with Sun Simiao, Gu Qing came to the place where the story was told again, and the children playing with mud had been waiting here for a long time, and came to them and said, "We won't tell stories today." ”

The children stared blankly.

Swish! Shaking the fan hard, Gu Qing said: "Your father and mother can make money, in fact, you can also make money." ”

"How do children make money?" It was the little fat man who spoke with an unruly face.

Gu Qing fanned himself hard, "Right now, I can let you earn money, your fathers and mothers in the family are long, and their children can earn money!" ”

After some ghostly confusion and confusion, Gu Qing finally used the temptation of one person and one penny to let these children help him pick tea leaves.

"We did the work for you, you shouldn't give you money."

Where did this little fat man come from so many words, thinking so in his heart, Gu Qing's face was still smiling, "There are so many of you looking at me, can I still run away?" It's still the old rule that one person pays a penny. ”

The little fat man waved his fist, "If you dare to run......"

"Let your dad beat me, right?" Gu Qing said as he walked.

A strange scenery appeared three miles outside Tongguan, where an eleven or twelve-year-old child carried a large bamboo basket on his back and led a group of seven or eight-year-old children across the field to the hill.

The tea trees on the mountain are three or three, no more, no less.

Putting down the big bamboo basket, Gu Qing pointed to the tea tree and said, "Listen, it's the leaves of this kind of tree, don't pick the wrong one!" ”

"Why don't you just pick leaves?" The little fat man said that he was going to pick it, and the children started to act in twos and threes.

Gu Qing shouted, "Don't be lazy, whoever is lazy will not be paid." ”

Hearing this, the children's enthusiasm for work is higher, will it be too embarrassing to call the children? It is useless to be condemned by his conscience several times, Gu Qing lies on the stone and enjoys the spring breeze, letting the children experience life, and letting them know the bitterness of their parents earning money, well! It's really much more comfortable to think about it like this, and there is an inexplicable sense of accomplishment.

The peasants working in the fields looked at this scenery and became more and more surprised.

A group of children were covered in grass and mud, and the bamboo basket in front of them was also full

"Pay your wages!" The little fat man wiped his sweat, and he didn't know that there was mud on his hands, and his face was confused.

Taking out the money bag, Gu Qing shouted: "All of them are lined up, and they will come to receive the money one by one." ”

"You're an article."

"You're an article."

"You're also a penny."

……

"You're another article, hey......" Gu Qing hurriedly stopped his hand, this little fat hand was so familiar, he looked up and saw the little fat man, "Didn't you just get paid?" Don't be insatiable, little doll, hurry home. ”

The children finally dispersed in a hurry after receiving the money, Gu Qing looked at the tea leaves full of bamboo Lou, and his eyes lit up, "It's all money, it shouldn't be a good place in Tongguan in the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an is the imperial capital, and there are many rich people in Chang'an." ”

Gu Qing saw the cool guy with the bamboo basket on his back again, the other party was still cool, and he was throwing a fishing line and preparing to fish.

Gu Qing approached his hook and said, "How can this kind of hook catch fish." ”

He grinned, still threw the fishing line into the river, and looked at the horizontal knife Gu Qing became interested, "You used to be a soldier." ”

Yang Sheng nodded.

"Do you know kung fu?" Gu Qing then asked.

“……”

"You're not going to be a killer." Gu Qing then asked, "Who are you going to kill recently?" ”

Yang Sheng took a deep breath and ignored the guy beside him.

Cuckoo...... As Gu Qing spoke, Yang Sheng's stomach screamed, Gu Qing thought about no wonder fishing, it turned out that he couldn't eat, and seeing that his clothes were patched, he didn't live well, took out a dry steamed bun from his arms, handed it to him and said, "Give it to you." ”

The cracked steamed bun was placed in front of him, and Yang Sheng still had a cool expression, "Why should I eat your things." ”

"Don't eat it." Gu Qing took back the steamed bun and took a bite in front of him, chewing it with a chirp.

Yang Sheng: "......"

"Kidding you." Saying that, Gu Qing took out another steamed bun and threw it to him, "I'm in a good mood today, I'll share one with you." ”

Yang Sheng hesitated for a few breaths, and finally took the steamed bun and devoured it.

"Life is not easy, isn't it?" Gu Qing sat beside him and said.

After eating the steamed buns, Yang Sheng let out a sigh of relief, "I went to war at the age of sixteen, and when I came back from fighting for more than ten years, I only had the strength and this knife." ”

The river was very calm, Gu Qing: "What is it like to be a soldier in a war." ”

"Human life is not life." Yang Sheng looked at the motionless fishing line, "It's terrible, a lot of people have died, many people have died under the city and become human ladders, so that the people behind can attack the city wall, this Tang Dynasty is paved with the flesh and blood of soldiers......"

He said quietly, "Once it was a snowy day, it was freezing cold, we were intercepting the reinforcements of Emperor Sui, and we squatted in the snow for more than ten days, and my brother and I leaned together......

"We were chatting and he said he was going to sleep for a while." Yang Sheng's eyes were red and said: "When I wanted to wake him up, I found that he couldn't wake up, he was frozen to death, at that time he smiled and told me that her daughter-in-law was pregnant before he joined the army, and her daughter-in-law waited for him to come home and name the child......"

"After the war, I went back to find her daughter-in-law, when I saw her holding the child with a happy face, after the war her husband should go home, I didn't dare to say that her husband died, I told her that her husband would come back a few days later, I left all the money given by the army to her, do you know that feeling?"

"I know......" Gu Qing said and stood up, "It's not too early, I should go back." ”

After walking a few steps and looking back at Yang Sheng's down-and-out back, he felt some sympathy for him, and went all the way back to the broken temple Gu Qing found a broken iron pot that could still be used, then set up the pot to make a fire, and began to fry the tea leaves, recalling that he was uncomfortable without a cup of tea after dinner.

"Set horses and drop men, mighty ......" Gu Qing sang while stir-frying.

Sun Simiao looked at the apprentice who fried this unknown leaf with a surprised face, and the more he fried, the more energetic he became, he couldn't help but gasp, and whispered while pulling his beard: "How can this heartless madness be cured......"

After frying the tea leaves, Gu Qing hurriedly brewed a cup and handed it to Sun Simiao, "Master, please drink tea." ”

"Why don't you drink it yourself?" Sun Simiao looked at the tea and was disgusted.

"Hehe......" Gu Qing smiled: "How do I know, what kind of thing I fried is, what if I drink it and kill people." ”

Sun Simiao's face gradually turned rosy......

"Don't drink and pull down." Gu Qing picked up the teacup and poured it into his mouth, reminiscing about it...... The taste of memory tea should not be so bitter, the craftsmanship is really not good, but in general, there is still some taste of tea, and it is really tea to refresh your mind.
