Chapter 7: Wandering the Rivers and Lakes

Xu Qiaoyou looked at the little girl who had already sat up apologetically: "I'm sorry to wake you up, you can continue to sleep for a while." ”

The little girl's eyes were confused and sad, and her voice sounded like she was about to cry: "Are you leaving?" "Didn't you promise to take her to eat something delicious yesterday?

"No, no, I'm going to buy breakfast, and then I'll buy you two clothes, you see that what you're wearing doesn't fit, it's too big, I came to see you sleep so soundly, I can't bear to wake you up, I think I'll call you again when I buy it." Xu Qiaoyou waved her hand again and again, the little girl should have misunderstood that she was going to leave her here alone.

Looking at the little girl's look of still not quite believing, Xu Qiaoyou pointed to the burden at the end of the bed: "Look, my luggage is still here, I'll go buy something and come back, you just lie down for a while, just wait for me to come back." ”

To put it mildly, the little girl believed her, she breathed a long sigh of relief, told the little girl to bolt the door, and then went to the street with peace of mind. Fortunately, when I was wandering around yesterday, I probably remembered which street had a ready-to-wear store, so I didn't take many wrongful roads, bought two sets of clothes, two pairs of shoes, and bought a few meat buns on the way back.

After returning to the room, Xu Qiaoyou obviously felt that the little girl's mood was much better, and she would smile with her shallowly, and the two of them were eating buns together, she felt that it was time to ask some questions.

"My name is Xu Qiaoyou, you can call me Qiao You, or you can call me Sister Youyou, so, can you tell me what your name is and how old you are this year?"

"Girl."

Uh, girl? Is this the name? Pick such a random name?

"Okay, girl, what about your parents?"

"My mom and dad got sick and died many years ago."

"I'm sorry ......"

"Sister Youyou, why do you say I'm sorry? You didn't let them get sick and die. ”

"Do you have any other relatives?"

The girl's action of eating the bun obviously paused, and then Mu Mu said, "No." ”

Xu Qiaoyou knew that she must have something unspeakable, such a young child, if she was not desperate, how could she choose to wander? Besides, there are so many injuries on the body, new wounds and old wounds...... Since she didn't want to say, there was no need to continue asking.

"How old are you, girl?"

"Thirteen years old."

Xu Qiaoyou was stunned, the child who looked like he was only eight or nine years old was actually thirteen years old? Only two years younger than her, the way she is now is the result of chronic malnutrition. Although she feels so sorry for this child, she is not from this world after all, and she will leave here soon, she can't give the girl any promises, so why don't you give her some money? The money has also been used up for a day, what will she want to make a living in the future?

"That girl, can you tell Sister Youyou, where is this? It's which dynasty or something, tell my sister if you know, my sister just came out of the mountains, and I basically don't know anything. ”

Subsequently, Xu Qiaoyou learned from the girl's mouth that this other world is the imperial system, which is similar to ancient times, there are three dynasties on this continent, the Yue Dynasty in the east, the Jing Dynasty in the north, and the Qian Dynasty in the south......

"Oh, that girl, do you know Tianji Tea?"

"Yes, everyone in the world knows." The girl glanced at Xu Qiaoyou, I guess you don't know if you came out of the mountains.

Xu Qiaoyou rubbed his hands and said excitedly, "Huh? You know? Great, which dynasty is this Tianji tea in? Or is it everywhere? ”

"It's not in any dynasty, it's on the mountain of dust."

Out of the Dust Mountain? In the mountains? Isn't that better, I originally heard the shopkeeper of the good guest house say that the tea here is very expensive, and I thought that the Tianji tea that can cure all diseases is not to be offered by the emperor? If that's the case, do you have to sacrifice your hue and enter the palace to be a queen's favorite concubine or something, now it's okay, it's actually on the mountain, so you can go back if you go up the mountain and pick it up? It's really lucky......

"That girl, where is that mountain out of the dust? Not far from that? Are there any maps for sale? ”

The girl looked at Xu Qiaoyou's excited expression and asked softly, "Sister Youyou, are you going to Dust Mountain?" Picking heavenly machine tea? ”

"That's right, I'm here to pick that Tianji tea, and I'll go home when I pick it." Xu Qiaoyou began to pack her luggage, she couldn't wait a little, she couldn't wait to have a means of transportation like an airplane now, and she could fly over at once.

"It's far away from the dust mountain, and the Tianji tea is the Holy Lord's, you can't pick it, you have to win the first place in the competition to get it."

"Ah...... Yes? What the? What Holy Lord? What contest? ”

Didn't you say that the tea leaves were in the mountains? Can't you just pick it up on the mountain?

Alas, the girl sighed softly, this sister really looked like she didn't know anything, and she thought about going to pick Tianji tea directly!

"Sister Youyou, Tianji tea is wanted by everyone in the world, I heard that the storyteller said that it can not only bring the dead back to life and cure all diseases, but also comprehend the heavenly machine and be able to soar into immortals, but Tianji tea only matures once in ten years, and there are only two leaves at a time, and the Holy Lord will take out a leaf as the first prize in the decennial tea party competition."

Burst...... Xu Qiaoyou, who was drinking water, squirted out a mouthful of water. Decade???

"Then, how long is it until the Tianji tea matures?" Xu Qiaoyou's voice trembled slightly, hoping that Uncle Mysterious would be more reliable and not let her wait too long......

"Well, seven years to go."

The girl's words directly sent Xu Qiaoyou into hell, and she kept smashing the table with her head, seven years, seven years...... She still doesn't know how many years here are equivalent to the original world, how can she afford to spend these seven years?

The girl silently looked at Xu Qiaoyou, who was smashing her head, wouldn't she hurt?

After a while, I guess I felt that my head hurt, Xu Qiaoyou was lying on the table like a soulless puppet, what should I do? It's not that she can't afford to wait for seven years, but she's worried that her parents can't afford to wait, that spatial crack is unreliable, why not pass her on to a few years later? Seven years is too long.

And when you get it, you may not be able to get it, doesn't it mean that you have to participate in any competition, and you have to win the first place? What kind of rule breaking? Two leaves mature in ten years...... Wait, two slices?!

Xu Qiaoyou straightened up suddenly, grabbed the girl's hand excitedly, and startled the girl: "Girl, you said that there are two pieces every ten years, one is the reward of the competition, so is the other piece in the hands of the Holy Lord?" ”

"Hmm."

Great, I don't know how many sessions they have held, since this Tianji tea tree is his, then after so many decades, there should be a lot of inventory in the hands of that holy lord, right? Wouldn't it save you the seven-year wait to go directly to him?

Xu Qiao said to the girl with a straight face: "Girl, do you want to follow your sister to the rivers and lakes?" ”

"What are rivers and lakes?" The girl asked stunned.

"Out of the dust mountain is our rivers and lakes!"
