Officer Li didn't say anything, but just stepped into the middle as he took a step. And just as Officer Lee was about to step into the flower garden, he suddenly saw a strange phenomenon.

The garden is surrounded by almost withered grass, and there is no green grass growing. And look at the surrounding yards, there are even green grassy places. Officer Li was a little skeptical that the medicinal herbs in this flower garden were really poisonous. But he didn't dare to say much.

Here he saw a very large and red begonia flower. The begonia flower looked so beautiful that it seemed to attract him, and then he turned to the old man and asked:

"How long have you been growing this begonia here? It's probably been a few years. ”

The herb picker looked at the very gorgeous begonia flower in the flower bed and said, "It's been a lot of years, maybe 40 years." ”

Officer Li didn't pay attention at first, but suddenly remembered it in his mind. The 40 years that the herb picker said just now touched Officer Li's nerves again, and he continued to turn to the herb picker's side and sat down on the stool next to him.

Officer Li watched as the herb picker continued to skillfully weave the basket, interrupting his rhythm, and then he asked in a softer voice:

"This begonia flower can grow for 40 years, and it is still in such an environment. It must be not easy for you to raise him to grow up. Officer Li asked deliberately.

The herb picker seemed to say casually: "What is not easy, it's just that someone once gave me a flower many years ago." It's just that the people are gone, and the flowers are still there. It's just a souvenir. ”

Officer Li looked at the herb picker in front of him with a little disbelief, he knew what to get out of his mouth, it seemed that it was very difficult. But no matter how much, it was important that he was able to find this information from this flower garden.

Over the years, most of the people in the area where the Fan family is located have been mainly engaged in business. And the medicinal herb business is also thriving.

Although the Fanjia family has not developed much over the years, they are still very rich in resources here. After that, Officer Li continued to talk to the old man.

And after the old man finished his work, he took out some of the tea leaves he had made from the house.

These tea leaves are not precious teas, but are picked from the mountains. Later, Officer Li saw him bring out a piece of tea and clean up the surrounding area, and the two of them sat there drinking tea together.

This old man is methodically pouring tea, and it seems that his tea skills are also very good. An ordinary wooden cup was used next to him, and Officer Li picked up the cup and saw a word engraved on the cup: Wen.

Officer Li was wondering, did this old man engrave it himself? And what does this word mean? Later, he found an opportunity to ask the herb picker:

"Why do you have a blessing engraved on it? Although many years have passed, it can be seen. This cup must have been around for many years. ”

The uncle sat there, watching him with the cup in his hand. Said with a faint smile:

"This cup is the same one my wife used to have when she was there. After so many years, although the person has passed away, the cup is still kept. And over the years, very few outsiders have come to me. I don't often take out this cup and use it. You didn't have any other cup when you came today, so I took it out. ”

As soon as Officer Li heard what the old man said, he suddenly felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. The old man was pouring tea into her cup. He took the cup with trembling hands a little, and after holding the cup in front of him, he stared at the Wen character on the bamboo cup for a long time.

The old man looked at the officer staring at the cup in a daze, put down the tea in his hand, and said with a quiet smile: "It's okay to drink." ”

Officer Li wasn't actually a little surprised, why did he take out this cup for him to use? And he was surprised why for a stranger who met for the first time, he would take out this precious cup for his own use. Is it really because there is no other cup?

Officer Li, who was a little suspicious by nature, did not believe his statement, and then the old uncle was about to turn to the house and continue to add tea. Officer Li deliberately picked up the bamboo cup and looked at it closely.

He saw that there seemed to be patterns on it, and there were a few small figures carved on it, but these figures looked a little scary. But after so many years, the above things are not very clear.

After that, the wife continued to add tea and then came out and sat next to Officer Li. He looked at it, as if he was going to say something to Officer Lee:

"For so many years, there are very few people in this mountain. And I've been here for a long time, so naturally I have feelings. Are you here to ask me any questions? Maybe I think there is something I can know and will answer you. ”

Officer Li looked at the old man's attitude and changed. He felt a little excited in his heart, and then asked:

"Do you know the Fan family here, I heard that the Fan family here is a big family here, and this place where the two of us are now is also under the management of their Fan family."

When Officer Li said this, the look in the old man's eyes seemed to change a little. He looked at the rolling mountains in front of him, and there seemed to be a kind of fireworks in his eyes.

The old man suddenly said:

"Fanjia, hmph, he is indeed a big family here. And it's probably a hundred years old. What are you asking me about him? The herb picker said a little tabooly, and then picked up the tea in his hand.

Officer Li was a little uncalm when he saw the old man's expression, he was sure that this old man definitely knew something. And maybe what he wants to know is exactly what he wants to know. So he seized the opportunity and took advantage of the situation to ask another question:

"That's right, it's the Fanjia, I heard that the influence of the Fanjia in the southwest is still okay here. Have you ever heard that a large number of people disappeared here before? Or maybe all of a sudden, the figure disappeared. Officer Li deliberately looked at the old man and asked.

The herb picker's expression was a little uncalm, and the movement of holding the cup in his hand became tighter. After a while, his expression eased, and then he picked up the teacup and said, "I don't know too much." ”

Officer Li knew that the herb picker was obviously perfunctory. But I couldn't help it, so I asked him more questions. Now we can only wait for the time, and maybe only the day when this person wants to talk to him.
