Chapter 4 Calling the God of Tea with Devotion

Nong Kaijia always does not forget the tea matter, and it is difficult to give up the tea god complex!

At this time, Nong Wangnian saw that his father Nong Kaijia's condition was getting worse day by day, and he was occasionally unconscious, and he was very anxious. At this moment, he was in front of the hospital bed, seeing his father's painful appearance, and he was powerless to do anything, and his heart was very uncomfortable. I don't know what to do for a while.

He can only comfort his father, or scrub his body himself, hoping that some small actions of his can awaken his father and have a miracle of life.

Those past events surfaced one by one, one by one, very clearly, and in his mind like a movie, he suddenly remembered his father's good coming!

In his early years, Nong Kaijia made tea and sold tea for a living, but it was a small business, and it was difficult to make a difference in the era of war and chaos, so he barely maintained his family's livelihood and just made a living.

Nanyi County is located on both sides of the water, since ancient times it is a land and water wharf, and the mountain goods and daily necessities in the Jingshan area are distributed and traded here. Merchants from the south to the north gather here, restaurants and restaurants, especially tea shops, some face the street, some are by the river, the most famous is "Shengshun Tea Shop".

Speaking of this tea shop, everyone in the county knows it, and no one knows it. There is a bully surnamed Wang on this street, who has practiced martial arts since he was a child, eats wine like a funnel, drinks tea with a bowl, and gathers a group of ruffians to bully the market and do all kinds of evil.

On that day, Nong Kaijia came to the riverside wharf with a load of tea, he was tall, with a round waist and a straight back, a pair of big feet, and he walked with a tiger, quite the majesty of a strong man in the mountains.

When he saw a large gathering of merchants on the shore, he rested his burden and began to sell tea. Before it opened, two ruffians came from the side, one with a crooked mouth and a mouth tilted to the right; A slanted eye, a little to the left. They had come to collect protection money from the boatmen and raftmen, and when they saw that someone was selling tea without permission, they stepped forward to provoke them.

The crooked mouth was originally looking at Nong Kaijia, but the mouth didn't obey, tilted to the other side, and said angrily: "Hey, this place belongs to my family, why do you dare to sell tea here without even saying hello?" ”

Nong Kaijia looked up and saw two ruffians surrounding him, knowing that they had bad intentions.

He thought to himself, when he was away from home, more things were better than less, so he said: "Big brother, I'm really sorry, I didn't know this place was your home, I'll leave immediately." ”

As he spoke, he picked up the tea and wanted to leave.

Crooked mouth pressed his flat shoulder, and said viciously: "You have already sold tea in this place, you can't leave." ”

Nong Kaijia asked rhetorically: "Then what do you want?" ”

Squinted his eyes and said with a fierce expression: "Hurry up and pay the venue rental fee." ”

Nong Kaijia felt aggrieved and replied: "But I haven't opened it yet!" ”

Squinting his eyes in a non-negotiable tone, he said domineeringly: "It's not open, so you have to pay it." ”

So, the two ruffians rolled up their sleeves, looked like a bully, squinted their eyes and said: "If you don't pay it, I will strip you naked, make you ugly, and give you coolness." ”

Nong Kaijia said: "Big brother, how much do you need?" ”

"Ten taels of silver." The two ruffian lions opened their mouths.

God, ten taels of silver, this can buy several acres of fertile land!

How can an ordinary family who sells tea get it. This is obviously blackmail.

However, Nong Kaijia was not in a hurry at all, and said with a smile: "Big brother, you are really long-eyed, I just have ten taels of silver in my tea table, you can get it yourself." ”

This is called a real person not showing his face, but I didn't expect that this tea seller really has ten taels of silver.

Crooked mouth happily put his hand into the tea shoulder, pounded it a few times, and howled like a pig: "Ouch, my mother is ......"

Squinting at it, my soul was scared out.

They didn't expect that there was a mystery hidden in this tea burden.

It turned out that the fingers with crooked mouths were bitten by a big snake.

In fact, Nong Kaijia put a big snake in advance in the place where he put his wallet, the purpose was to prevent thieves, this big snake has been hungry for several days, and when the crooked hand entered, it happened to be regarded as a good meal by the big snake.

The two ruffians fled in the wilderness.

After watching the excitement on the sidelines and laughing for a while, some well-wishers persuaded Nong Kaijia to run quickly, otherwise, he would have to suffer a lot. But Nong Kaijia looked indifferent, and said repeatedly, "Don't get in the way, don't get in the way." "Continue to sell your own tea.

Seeing the excitement, they were afraid of causing trouble, and they all slipped away one by one.

Afterwards, Nong Kaijia finished selling tea and happily returned home.

That night, Nong Kaijia told his family about it, and after the family heard it, they smiled and leaned back.

His father trembled and said, "You're really good, and you're bold enough." ”

Nong Kaijia said happily, "These people are bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, the more you are afraid, the more they will bully you, it is better to be happy." ”

Nong Kaijia's wife said disapprerovingly, "You can bear it." ”

After Nong Kaijia heard this, he just laughed and didn't say anything.

That night, under the reflection of an oil lamp, Nong Kaijia should have returned to the light, he exerted his last bit of strength, stretched out a thin hand, pinched his son Nong Wangnian's hand, and never forgot one thing:

"There is always a white mist gathering on my ancient tea tree, that is a cloud of fairy energy, you must remember to call the god of tea, otherwise, I will not be blind!"

"Please rest assured, father, the child must remember to call the god of tea!"

After speaking, Nong Kaijia remained unconscious.

Lang Zhong, who was invited, felt the pulse and prescribed medicine, but he was also very helpless, so he shook his head and said: The old man is terminally ill, I'm afraid time is running out, you should prepare for the future.

Hearing this, the family's hearts were panicked, it was not a taste, and it was difficult to sleep and eat. Soon, Nong Kaijia died.

The old and young of the peasant family cried and grieved. In the end, due to meager financial resources, he hastily completed the funeral and buried him in his ancestral grave.

At this time, Nong Kaijia was exhausted and indulged for a while before he gradually came to his senses.

After his father's death, he pondered that this tea god seemed to come and go without a trace, erratic, and elusive.

He often went up the mountain to look at the old tea tree in his house, and indeed as his father said, it often emitted white gas, especially after the fog or rain, it was extremely dense and lingered around the old tea tree.

That night, after dinner, the father and son were drinking tea in the hall, and Nong Jingtang also wanted to understand, so he asked, "Father, what is the tea god that grandpa said?" ”

Nong Wangnian sank in his heart, and said slowly, "Probably there is something really going on." ”

Nong Jingtang became interested and said, "Father, will the God of Tea be a master?" ”

It's not that Nong Wangnian hasn't thought about it, in this wilderness, where can he meet a master at a time? He replied, "Perhaps, this tea god is a certain master hidden in the mountains, but we didn't have the chance to meet." ”

Nong Jingtang also thinks so, "Father, I think this master is the tea god that my grandfather often talked about. ”

Nong Wangnian said: "I hope we are destined to meet each other and get the guidance of a master." ”

After all, Nong Jingtang is a young man, and his thoughts are a little different, so he said expectantly, "Father, in my opinion, our family has done so many good things, and one day, we will meet them." ”

Nong Wangnian took a sip of tea and said, "I hope so." ”

He thought to himself, does this hard-seeking tea god really need the help of nobles?

Maybe the time has not come, maybe the opportunity has not been revealed, maybe in time, he will be able to capture the seemingly impossible illusory light and shadow.

This call to the god of tea is not only pressed in Nong Wangnian's heart, but Nong Jingtang also has a sense of heaviness.
