Chapter 10: The Trail of Green

After the Wuding Pass, the road became wider again, the four of them rode forward and stayed at a post station for one night along the way, the scenery was hardly changed, a small river was surrounded by high mountains, and in some places there were several flat dams, and the wheat in the dam had begun to be harvested, and a few boys followed the adults with bare butts to pick up the ears of wheat.

I don't know if it's the bad luck of the eldest grandson, or if he didn't look at the yellow calendar when he went out, but he walked six or seven hundred miles and spent three months, not to mention, and he encountered some accidents.

Previous accidents were man-made disasters, but this time they are natural disasters.

The heavy rain three days ago had rained all night in Hanzhong Province, but it had been raining here for a whole day. The mudslide caused by the torrential rain not only destroyed the road into Shu, but also blocked the river, and the water was quite strong shortly after the rain.

A group of four people was trapped on this Golden Bull Road, of course, it was not only the four of them who were blocked, more than a dozen families in a small village here were full of accommodation, and the four of them did not even have a place to live, so they had to use the method of sleeping in the past.

But after all, this is the only way to enter Shu, although the population is not very mobile at this time, but there are still 100 people, this small village is not even enough firewood and grass to consume, and there are also people who send their followers to go up the mountain to chop firewood.

There was no other way, so Changsun Tang had to ask Zhang Zhong to pay for some firewood and grass, and if not, he would find a way to let the people in the village go up the mountain to cut some.

Since they arrived at this place, Changsun Tang didn't want to stay and chat, and together with Wu Jiangdong, both of them planned to go up the mountain to have a look.

Turning a corner, a green shadow rushed to the face, and collided with each other in a hurry, a little girl with a pink carving first glanced back, and when she saw the eldest grandson, she began to complain: "How did you do it!" It hurts someone. ”

The eldest grandson looked at it, the little girl flashed with a pair of bright big eyes, snow-white skin, and some mud on the green Luo Qun, about six or seven years old, and couldn't help but have a thought: This is a disaster-level beauty when she grows up.

"Oh, okay, I won't bother you! Later, you can help me get rid of the two people in the back, and I'll forgive you. Without waiting for the eldest grandson to answer, the little girl hid in the bushes on the side of the road, but a touch of green skirt was left outside.

After a while, two panting women dressed as maids ran down the mountain, shouting as they ran: "Little lady, run slowly, this mountain is dangerous." ”

The two of them were also stunned when they saw the eldest grandson, and one of them stepped forward and asked, "Childe, have you ever seen a little lady in a green dress, he has just gone down from here." ”

Without waiting for the eldest grandson to answer, another woman who kept looking found the exposed green dress, and went straight forward to pull the little girl out of the bushes.

Another woman stepped forward to pick off the leaves hanging on the little girl's body, and the maid who was dragging the little girl didn't let go and grabbed the little girl tightly.

The little girl was angry when she couldn't get rid of the struggle, and said: "Oh, you guys are so annoying, you have been following since Wenshui came out, and I have been following, I can't go out alone to find a playmate, really, when I see my mother, you look good." ”

In a blink of an eye, he saw the three people who were still watching the excitement, as if he understood something, and rushed towards Changsun Tang, so frightened that the maid hurriedly chased after him, and came to Changsun Tang, the little girl yelled at Changsun Tang: "Hmph, you bad guy, don't tell them if you say it, this time it's said in a blink of an eye, are they giving you any benefits, you are waiting for me to make you look good." ”

didn't wait for the eldest grandson to reply, the little girl went straight down the mountain, a maid originally planned to come up to make amends, but she had to give up when she saw the little girl walking fast.

The eldest grandson touched his nose - I don't know when he developed this problem of touching his nose first regardless of whether he is depressed or not, he is a little helpless, I didn't recruit anyone and didn't provoke anyone, this is a lesson, the key is that the person who taught him is a little old, he is no longer a child of four or five years old, and he is probably seven or eight years old.

When the eldest grandson was still thinking about his back, Wu Jiangdong interjected: "What? Which one do you like? Is it still that little one, then you have to be prepared to wait a few more years, it's too small! ”

After a few days of contact, Wu Jiangdong basically figured out the temperament of the eldest grandson, there is no arrogance, and it is okay to make some jokes appropriately, but this kind of joke is the first time.

The eldest grandson really didn't care, but some of the habits developed in later generations could not be changed, and he didn't have a big sense of hierarchy for his subordinates, and he couldn't be equal, but he was not a part of the evil ruling class, and this kind of hierarchical joke was nothing.

The two continued to ascend the mountain, where the slope was not steep, but more like a hill, with a gentle slope and a rain that washed the slope into a ravine. The valley has long been reclaimed as terraced fields, and some of the fields are filled with water, reflecting the sun, and in one of the terraced fields, a farmer shouts a rhythmic trumpet, and throws the water-stained whip in the field, but refuses to hit the back of the oxen ploughing the fields. The cattle here are buffaloes, covered in sparse fur with gray-brown hides, and flick their tails from time to time to drive away those pesky mosquitoes.

Not far away, a dark pine forest rustles in the wind, and in the distance, a dog is chasing a fly, and the sun has already disappeared into the mountains, and it is time to return.

The voices of several women were heard, mixed with laughter and swearing. It didn't take long for him to appear in front of the eyes of the eldest grandson and Wu Jiangdong, dressed as a typical peasant woman, but one of them carried a basket woven with bamboo strips in her hand, laughing as she walked.

When passing by Changsun Tang and Wu Jiangdong, several people couldn't help but speed up their steps, but Changsun Tang found the object in their basket - tea.

Maybe the bad luck will turn around to a certain extent, and that's the case for the current eldest grandson.

In the past few years since I came to the Tang Dynasty, I have been accustomed to a lot of things, and I have also changed some problems, smoking has been forcibly stopped, the degree of wine is relatively low, and the turbid wine industry has also made the eldest grandson stay away, only this tea makes the eldest grandson unforgettable.

At this time, the tea is basically fermented black tea, and it is beaten into noodles, and the drinking method is like this: the tea leaves, flour and animal oil, spices, green onions, ginger and garlic are boiled, the taste is a little heavy, and the eldest grandson can accept it, but this is not drinking, but eating. At this time, Datang is basically two meals a day, in the afternoon, come to this kind of tea that is similar to the oil tea sold at the morning stall in the later generations, which can be refreshing and full, which is very pleasant, but this can no longer be regarded as a drink after all.

This time I went up the mountain, but I gained some gains, not only saw the hope of making green tea, but also a touch of greenery in my heart, why again?
