Chapter 38: Before the Storm

Second Uncle Tong was determined to tell the matter, licked his thirsty tongue, and said with determination, "Last night, when I was squatting in the latrine, there was a sound of horses' hooves outside, I thought it was Chunsheng who came back, so I lifted my pants and wanted to ask him again, but before I got to the door, I heard someone in the carriage say, 'You spill this thing on the tea seedlings tomorrow night, and hurry away at night, don't blame our host for not protecting you.' That's all I know. ”

After speaking, he still didn't forget a sentence, "The owner, you save Chunsheng, he must have been bewitched." "But in fact, Second Uncle Tong understands it tightly in his heart, and the sentence that Chunsheng replied to 'also let their Ma family taste the taste of being ruined and being under the fence.' What does it mean, this is also the reason why Second Uncle Tong has never wanted to talk about it.

"You're such a stuffy gourd! You know that your nephew has the intention to murder my tea garden, but he didn't come yesterday, and when we came to the door, you knew that something was wrong, I know that you are protecting your shortcomings, but you look at this fellow villager next to you, a mouthful of Uncle Tong's, what did you make them do this year when something happened to the tea mountain? When I got old, I still couldn't figure it out, and it was in vain that I trusted you so much. ”

Second Uncle Tong looked at Wu Qing, a little embarrassed, he could come here with a cheeky face to beg for someone, it was indeed not only for the face of the eldest brother, but also for the Ma family in the early years, how to make the owner weigh and consider.

It's just that harming tea seedlings is a taboo for tea pickers, and this time the tea farmers were found out, which was enough to make Chunsheng unable to gain a foothold in the entire Baidi City, and the harm to tea seedlings was only afraid that it would go to the government. It is best to pull down this old face and ask for a solution, and if it can't be solved, I hope that the owner can look at the Buddha face without looking at the monk's face, and let Chunsheng go, even if the owner is scolding fiercely now, but after all, he is soft-hearted.

"Well, I know you never take my word for it, you were like that in the early years. I also know that you didn't come to tell me, because you wanted to persuade your nephew again, after so many years, you would have already done it if you wanted to harm my tea garden. Uncle Lin, change this old immortal into clean clothes, don't be stunned, change your clothes and eat. "Ma Bin feels that he is old and has no energy to get angry and scold people anymore, so it's just a matter of forcing out the words in the stuffy gourd's heart.

"Thank you, owner! We old immortals will not do anything to harm the owner's tea garden until we die! As he spoke, he kowtowed again, and the proprietor's mouth softened, so he was a little relieved.

After the meal, Mingxin still hasn't come back, which makes Pinyuan a little worried, but this thing in the morning did do a lot of mistakes, but the third brother said that he had made a great contribution, and he picked up the second uncle Tong by mistake, and he was able to strangle tonight's disaster in the cradle, and it was not in vain.

Seeing that the misty drizzle at noon gradually became heavier, Pinyuan couldn't sit still even more, pacing back and forth in the main hall, the third brother followed Uncle Tong to squat in Chunsheng, and Pinyuan also wanted to go, but when he thought of the woman's hysterical eyes holding the knife to his neck, he couldn't step out. Maybe it's God's favor, Pinyuan has rarely quarreled loudly with people since he was a child, let alone dealing with this kind of almost crazy person, and Pinyuan, who has always been talkative, is the most difficult to deal with in this kind of scene.

"Don't turn around, it's such a big person, and it's still so unbearable."

You were so angry at noon, and said that I couldn't hold my breath, in other words, Pin Yuan said this earlier, but now is not a good time to pull teeth out of the tiger's mouth, so you can only suppress your thoughts in your heart.

"Father, I don't have to worry about Mingxin, I want to go and see where he is." In the end, he said this, Mingxin has followed him since he was a child, and this time the matter is so complicated, I am afraid that he will also encounter the same thing as himself.

"Go, sooner or later you will be brothers." With a wave of his hand, Ma Bin wanted to settle down again.

Pin Yuan was shocked and asked, "Mingxin, did he agree?" ”

"Go ahead."

Don't say it, just forget it, see Mingxin can ask, Pinyuan immediately out of the main hall, to the gatehouse when there is no carriage available, ask the forest housekeeper, said that there is a carriage for the ladies in the tea workshop, Pinyuan took the hat and went around to the tea workshop.

Push the door in, a group of tea farmers are sheltering from the rain here, three or five piles are not lively, listen carefully to every place is talking about the same thing, today there is a tea farmer in the future, and which tea farmer is coming again, all year round to only these rare things can be chewed, see the sales far away and have to get up and do it.

"Who of you said the disappeared man is here again?" Pin Yuan suddenly asked.

Everyone retreated a little, and finally a bold person came out and replied respectfully, "Young owner, the third child of the Chen family in our group today is the one who came yesterday and came again." ”

"And where is he now?"

Another ingenious person squeezed over and said, "Go back to the east house, his house is west of Pure Land Village, close to the tea mountain, and he will go back directly when it rains." After speaking, he arched his hand again, and buried his head in respect.

Pinyuan waved his hand to show that he was clear, and then went to the backyard, found the bookkeeper and asked, "Why do some people outside say that people who didn't come to work on the first day are here today?" When Ming Xin came to say at that time, there was no such thing. ”

The head of the bookkeeper hurriedly came out and said, "At that time, the owner asked Young Master Mingxin to ask how many people did not go to work, so I reported the people who did not sign in here yesterday and today, and I didn't care if he came today, he did not go to work after all." ”

"That's it, you give me a headache, lend me the carriage, and since these families are back, you can not go to the house." Pinyuan was in a hurry to find Mingxin, and the third brother also said that these tea farmers would come back sooner or later, and there was really no need to worry about this little thing.

"The young owner wants to use it to get it, so you don't need to tell us."

Pin Yuan was a little embarrassed when he heard this, and said straightly, "Father said that you are all invited gentlemen, you should be respectful, after I find Mingxin, I will let people drive the carriage back, and I will not let you gentlemen miss the time to return to the city." "Then he flew away, it was like he was in a hurry.

But where to find Mingxin is also a headache, most of the tea farmers are scattered and live, the twenty-one people, the third brother said, most of them are around the Pure Land Village, and there are people coming back from the villages west of the Pure Land Village just mentioned, so they will go there to try their luck, and if they can't go to the Pure Land Village again.

After getting into the carriage, Pinyuan said to the coachman, "Let's go to the village west of Pure Land Village first." The coachman was embarrassed, and Nuo Nuo said, "Dongguang Village that the young owner said? Or Shouguang Village? ”

Pinyuan is a little helpless, it seems that there are two villages to the west, so he randomly chose a Dongguang village. The whip was raised, and the sturdy horses flew on the road, and although the mountain path was bumpy, fortunately it was not as slippery as the bluestone road.

When Pinyuan was in reverie, he was almost thrown out by the carriage, and he couldn't get along with the carriage this year! When the curtain was opened, the coachman was still driving like that, and when he saw the young owner come out to look, he said, "The mountain road is usually like this, and I hope that the young owner is sitting firm." ”

"It doesn't matter, as long as you don't throw me off a cliff, your driving is trustworthy." When people are unlucky, they always say what they say, and they say that there is a cliff, and the road is cut off in front of them. With an emergency stop, both of them almost ran out, but fortunately, they didn't get thrown out of the air.

With a helpless expression, the coachman looked at Pinyuan and said more softly, "The young owner is really sorry, this carriage can't go to Dongguang Village." When he was about to go back to Shouguang Village, he heard the sound of a carriage coming from behind.

Pinyuan asked the coachman to stop the car, and when the car got closer, he found that this was the carriage that Mingxin was sitting in.
