Chapter 2: The Way to Save the Mother
Until she was seven years old, Xu's father was ready to send her to study outside the mountain, before that, he had been taught by him personally, Xu's father was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but Xu Qiaoyou did not seem to inherit his father's talent, nor did he inherit his father's indifferent character, she is like a wild child, she likes to run crazy all over the mountains all day long, climb trees when there is nothing to do, and catch small animals...... But she has a special knack for remembering.
At that time, Xu Qiaoyou naturally refused to leave her father, going outside meant that she had to live alone, because her father would not leave her mother to go out of the mountain, and the fear of leaving home overcame her curiosity about the outside world, just when she was crying and refusing to go out, the mysterious uncle appeared.
It was a mysterious uncle who wore a cyan robe all the year round, Xu Qiaoyou had seen him twice, and each time it was when his mother's situation was not very good, he suddenly appeared and disappeared every time, just like magic. Xu Qiaoyou once chased him and said that he wanted to learn magic from him, but he was pushed back into the house by the uncle with a gentle wave of his hand.
She sneaked up on the door and eavesdropped on their conversation......
"I've found a way to wake up Madame." The man in Tsing Yi said.
"Senior, I sincerely thank you on behalf of Humble Jing." Father Xu bowed deeply.
"It's a very costly approach."
"I'm willing to give anything, and I'm willing to exchange my life for a life."
"Your daughter, before the age of sixteen, must go from the spatial rift to another dimensional space to find a tea called Tianji, so that Mrs. can heal without worry, that place is rich in tea, happy tea, and tea ceremony, so that Ai will learn more will be of great benefit." After the man in Tsing Yi finished speaking, he disappeared, just like when he came, silently......
Xu Qiaoyou still can't forget his father's expression at that time, the light of hope in his eyes was annihilated little by little, and he sat on the ground weakly, and his father, who would not change color until the sky collapsed, sat on the ground for a long time with dull eyes.
Although she can't understand her father's discouragement, she can understand what the mysterious uncle said just now, she can save her mother, and her mother can wake up! Great joy filled her heart, and God knows how much she longed to be spoiled in her mother's arms like those children she saw in the temple, to listen to her mother sing, and her mother combed her hair and braided her with her warm hands. Although her father also loves her very much, she can never replace her mother, and her mother is just a beauty lying quietly on the ice bed for her.
"Dad, can I save Mommy?" Little Xu Qiaoyou ran in excitedly and asked.
"You're not going to go." Father Xu gently stroked his daughter's hair.
"Why? Don't you want your mom to wake up? I want my mom to wake up. Xu Qiaoyou didn't understand, so he was very angry.
Why not? He wanted to think more than anyone else, but as a father, he couldn't, couldn't, put his young daughter in danger, her life had just begun, and no one had the right to deprive her of the right to choose her lifestyle. What's more, this is his and her only daughter, he paid a huge price in order to give birth to Xu Qiaoyou, how could he bear to let his daughter go into danger?
"We can find another way, there must be another way."
"Nope! I want to save my mother! I'm going to go find that tea and come back to save my mother! ”
Because of the special family environment and education, the young Xu Qiaoyou is more mature than ordinary children of the same age, she is seven years old, and her mother has been lying on that cold bed for seven years, she will be cold, right? Since her mother gave her life, why didn't she do it if she could save her mother? So she had to wake up her mother.
So the father and daughter broke out into an unprecedented quarrel, and after calming down, Xu's father finally compromised, and then Xu Qiao happily said goodbye to his parents and embarked on the road to study.
Although Xu's father does not go out of the mountain, he still has a lot of money, which is said to have been earned by his mother before, which is enough to bear her full-time school life. In addition to working hard to specialize in the knowledge of tea, the lively and cheerful Xu Qiaoyou also likes to sing and run, according to her words, in case of trouble over there in the future, she can't beat at least she has to run, and she also won the runner-up in the city's youth group leader run.
Time flies quickly, eight years have passed, in these eight years, Xu Qiaoyou has not been home once, not that she is unwilling to go back, but she feels that time is far from enough, she must learn all the tea knowledge to ensure that nothing goes wrong......
Now that she has returned from her studies, she has grown into a big girl, her personality is much calmer, and she is also full of curiosity about that unknown world, what do people over there look like? Could it be completely different? Will the food be different?
"Dad, are you also from another world?" Xu Qiaoyou finally asked, since she knew that there was another world, she had always suspected that her father was so abnormal, either he was a reborn ancient man or he was from another world.
Father Xu couldn't help but laugh, he really deserved to be his daughter, so smart: "Yes, I don't belong here." ”
"Is that mom looking for you or mom you're looking for? So how did you get here? And where is the best way to live? "Xu Qiaoyou really has too much curiosity.
"It was your mother who broke into my otherwise peaceful life with a brutal gesture." Father Xu's deep eyes looked at the gloomy sky, and said softly: "In fact, life is the same after getting used to it, here is your mother, there is you, then for me is the place of belonging." ”
Xu Qiaoyou didn't continue to ask, for fear of causing her father's sad past, and when she came back to wake up her mother, were you still afraid that they wouldn't invite her?
The days passed quickly, and the thirtieth of the Chinese New Year's Eve arrived.
Next to the ice bed in the ice cellar, Father Xu and Xu Qiaoyou, as in previous years, put a table full of dishes, talking to their parents while happily eating delicious meals.
"Mom, when I come back in a while, let's go out on a trip."
"Let's go eat a lot of good food and have a lot of fun."
The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner ended lively under Xu Qiao's chatter.
Then in the next few days, Xu Qiaoyou ran to the temple on the top of the mountain every day to play like he did when he was a child, and walked the road that he used to go back and forth every day when he was a child.
On the third day of the junior high school, in the ice cellar, Xu Qiaoyou was boiling water, with a bowl, a teaspoon, a tea lotus, a tea cup, and about three grams of tea leaves, after the water boiled, pour the boiling water into the bowl for rinsing, after discarding the water, the tea leaves were poured into the bowl and flushed into the boiling water, covered and brewed for two to three minutes, after the brewing was over, the tea soup was poured into the tea cup from the bowl, and presented to Father Jiang with both hands, and his face couldn't hide his smugness: "Dad, you see my set of smooth tea-making skills, Isn't that Tianji tea handy? ”
"Well, the tiger father has no dog girl."
"Huh? Are you praising me or yourself? ”
"Try it, this tea is called Water Golden Turtle, which helps to delay aging, and my daughter specially prepared it for you."
Ahem, I almost didn't choke to death by my daughter's words.
"I won't be old until your mom wakes up." Father Xu looked affectionately at his beautiful wife lying on the ice bed.
Well, so, please be sure to wait until I get back......
