Chapter 16: The First Tea Hunt
His eyes are bright and his eyebrows are gathering wind and clouds, this is his first impression of Xu Qiaoyou, although his body is slightly thin, he has a tall skeleton and great potential, and he is a good man when he exercises.
"Daddy." The young man had a happy smile on his face, clean and pure, and he limped towards them, it turned out to be Uncle He's son, but unfortunately, this handsome young man had a disability in his leg.
Originally, Xu Qiaoyou thought it was a little lame, but now it seems to be much more serious than that, as if his leg has been injured, and he is a little lame.
When the young man approached, Uncle He took his hand and said to Xu Qiaoyou: "This is a dog, named Holly." And these two girls are tenants of our house, and my father is now taking the girls to the registry office to register, and you go back first to help your mother cook rice. ”
"Hello two girls, just tell me to do anything in the future." He Dongqing is more like a reader.
"You're welcome, everyone takes care of each other." Xu Qiaoyou said with a smile, the pine basket next to her didn't speak, she lowered her head and saluted, she didn't talk much, Xu Qiaoyou didn't feel strange, so she ignored the pine basket's slightly red face.
Uncle He's home is actually on the edge of the city, less than ten minutes away from the city gate, which is quite convenient and quiet, Xu Qiaoyou is very satisfied. Entering the dusty mountain city, in addition to the scattered buildings, the clean streets are also eye-catching, and the sanitation is good, but I don't know if there are also special sanitation workers.
When he came to the registration office, Xu Qiaoyou was in a trance, this is a big three-story courtyard, just like the municipal government building, each department has a room, there are signs, push the door in, there are special staff inside, all navy blue robes, is this a work clothes? Xu Qiaoyoudong looked at the west, why is this model so familiar? Do they have to clock in and out of work? These are all things that people from the mountains of dust came up with? Or did the Holy Lord come up with it? So did he also travel from modern times? Or did he go to the modern era? If it weren't for the lack of computer folders on her desk, she would have thought she was back in the modern age.
Uncle He is an authentic aboriginal of Chuchen Mountain, and he is the guarantor, so the registration is a lot less troublesome, and it is handled quickly, and when he walks out of the office courtyard, Xu Qiaoyou has not come to his senses, this feeling is too strange. shook her head, no matter what, since there is a mysterious uncle, then if she sees a fairy or something one day, she will not be surprised......
Fortunately, in the next shopping process, Xu Qiaoyou didn't see a trace of anything similar to modern times, and felt a lot more relieved, but because there were too many things to buy, there was no carriage before going out, and the result was that the three of them were full of large and small burdens, and it took a lot of effort to finally return home, Aunt Li and He Dongqing took advantage of their absence to help with the cleaning, looking around, here, it will be the starting point of her journey.
In the evening, after having a hearty and lively dinner with Uncle He's family, Xu Qiaoyou and Songluo returned to their own room and slept on the newly laid quilt, warm, finally no longer have to drift, Xu Qiaoyou touched the jade pendant on his neck, and said secretly: "Mom and Dad, I have settled down, you have to be well, don't worry about me." ”
There was no dream all night, early the next morning, the genius was slightly bright, Aunt Li cooked breakfast, and came to call Xu Qiaoyou and them for breakfast......
After breakfast, Uncle He and his son began to give Xu Qiao a stove, He Dongqing looked like a scholar, but he was very skilled in his work.
"Xiao He is doing a good job, but he is really unseemly." Xu Qiaoyou praised.
Xiao He? Uncle He and He Dongqing raised their heads at the same time, who are they called?
Uh, doesn't seem like a good name? It can't be called that only by elders, right? Xu Qiaoyou smiled awkwardly: "What, will I call you Holly in the future?" You can call me Qiao You, or Youyou, you can do it. ”
He Dongqing's face was red, because of his disability, and because the family conditions were not very good, he was almost seventeen years old and had not been able to say kiss, let alone a girl talking to him like this, he nodded silently, and the pine basket on the side saw that his head was lower, and he was almost down to his chest, Xu Qiao looked at the two people who were inexplicably shy, what are you doing? Is this society so feudal?
Xu Qiaoyou took out a purple gold leaf from the house and gave it to Uncle He, paid the rent for three months in advance, and asked them to help buy pots and pans or something, she didn't have much money left, so she had to find a way to make money.
"Uncle He, Holly, I'm in trouble at home, I'm going to go to the Dust Mountain with Songluo, and I won't come back for lunch."
"Why do you want to go up the dust mountain? What to do? Uncle He stopped them.
"Go see if there's any tea tree, what's wrong? Can't go? ”
"You can go, but you can only go up halfway up the mountain, and you can't go up again, it's a forbidden place above. Girl, the mountain road out of the dust mountain is steep, be careful. ”
"Okay, thank you Uncle He for your concern." After Xu Qiaoyou said goodbye to them, he took the pine basket and walked towards the dust mountain with the kettle.
She is all planned, go to the dust mountain to pass through the city, buy some cooked food, and then buy some steamed buns or something, you can live a day, since there is Tianji tea on the dust mountain, then there will be tea trees in other places, first see if it meets the conditions for transplanting, if there are ready-made tea leaves that can be picked, it would be better.
After everything was ready, it didn't take long for Xu Qiaoyou to stand at the foot of Chuchen Mountain. Looking up, even if she is a person who has seen the world, she can't help but sigh, this mountain is really high, it is estimated that it is about the same as Mount Everest, and the holy lord monster has to go out of the mountain often, so up and down, tired to death.
found a path that was relatively easy to walk, and Xu Qiaoyou embarked on her first tea hunt. She didn't dare to hope that she would succeed once, this was a long-term war of resistance, and the first thing to solve now was not how to deal with the Holy Lord, but to get some tea to sell for money, otherwise her purse would be empty in a short time.
The farther and farther they went, the road became more and more difficult, strange, it stands to reason that they would not not even see the shadow of a tea tree...... Just when Xu Qiaoyou was puzzled, her eyes suddenly lit up, it was really God who appeared, and she really found it!
Xu Qiaoyou walked forward quickly, through the dense bushes, between a pile of rocks, there was a small piece of tea trees swaying in the wind, she squatted down, carefully distinguishing these tea trees, although the pine basket couldn't understand, but also quietly squatted next to her, watching together.
"The girl knows this tea?" A deep male voice came from behind Xu Qiaoyou.
"Of course I do." Xu Qiaoyou blurted out, and only after finishing did he realize that something was wrong, the man's voice?
Isn't it just her and Songluo here? Where did the man's voice come from? Xu Qiaoyou had goosebumps all over his body, glanced at each other with Songluo, and then slowly turned around......
