In the distance, a simple tea shed stood. A cloth flag hangs on a big tree, black "tea" on a white background, four crooked logs under the tree are on top of a haystack, and under the shed are two wooden tables and a stove, on which is steaming, and a coarse cloth aunt leans on a chair next to her and naps.

Xi Ning drove to the front, this is a fork in the road, and he saw that the tea shed was backed by a big tree and happened to be in the vacant space of the fork. She parked the car in a manger not far away and asked Ethan to get out of the car and go to the tea shed.

"Yo! Guest, what do you want to drink? The teahouse owner greeted with a high spirit.

"Boss, you have chosen a good place here! It's good to enjoy the shade with your back against the tree! Xi Ning smiled and pointed to the stout tree.

"The guest officer is right, this way through the fork in the road, go into the shed and take a sip. Don't leave in a hurry, don't stay in a hurry, there will be a way to go. The old woman built this tea shed according to the tree, and chose this fork in the road, and you are the only one who can understand the deep meaning! ”

Seeing Xi Ning and the two sitting still, the teahouse owner wiped the table neatly. When he looked closely, Xi Ning looked at this boss in his forties, his face was black and red, and his smile was honest.

The boss laughed, and saw that there was such a big tree below, so he said it casually. But the boss, your words are very reasonable, and passers-by can't take such a sip without entering the shed. What's the good tea for the boss? ”

"The green brocade in the south of the Yangtze River, the peach red in spring, the snow in the dew of the Tianshan Mountains, the cold jade red as far as Mobei, the tongue crown and green tea of the Qingsai. Which sip does the guest officer drink? ”

"Listen to the spring rosé is good, take a bite." Xi Ning really doesn't understand this, he knows Biluochun and Tieguanyin, and the name of the tea here is really the first time I've heard of it.

Ethan smiled and watched Xi Ning choose tea. I didn't expect Xi Ning to choose such a boudoir tea. This spring pink is the favorite tea of men before they get married. The entrance is smooth, astringent and sweet.

"What a blessing for the guest officer! It's hard to find such a handsome Fulang! The boss has noticed Ethan for a long time, but when he smiles, he is even more captivating, full of fairy spirit.

"Haha! That's what the boss said. Xi Ning stopped Ethan's waist and glanced at the boss.

The teahouse owner was very knowledgeable and hurriedly turned around and left.

"Boss, after crossing this road, is it Yanguan Village?" Xi Ning pointed to another road outside the official road and said, holding a large bowl of tea in his hand. Drink with relish, it seems that this spring pink is very good for her mouth.

"Yes! Walk 100 meters to get there. ”

"Can I talk to my boss about it?" Yan Zhu, the eldest daughter of the old Yan family. ”

Ethan took a sip of tea, and when he heard Yan Zhu in Xi Ning Hall, he knew that she really cared about that girl, but he didn't understand what she wanted.

"Yan Zhu! She is a well-known filial daughter and talented woman. When she was very young, she knew how to make money to support her family, and her mother left her sick father and ran away, leaving behind four children and one sick seedling. Her Yan Zhu's sister-in-law Yan Hong is also a well-known figure and a child king. Bad things are done, but they never hurt the villagers. At the age of seven, he took the children of the village to rob a caravan. It is said that there was a time when I actually caught a lot of good things. Anyway, it's not easy, but it's not easy. The hard-working child is in charge early! ”

The boss shook his head and talked about it, as if he was sorry and admired. Xi Ning didn't understand the meaning of the boss's words, but he understood that there was no simple one in the old Yan family.

A pot of tea was at the bottom, and only then did I see the shadow and Yan Zhu coming from afar.

"Boss, another empty bowl."

This place is a bitter cold place, the temperature is low, and drinking hot tea can also drive away the cold.

The shadow stepped forward and saluted Xi Ning and said, "Master, the things you explained have been done. ”

"Come, take a sip of tea!" Xi Ning handed him the tea bowl, his eyes fixed on the girl behind him, and stood outside the tea shed looking at this side.

"Thank you for the tea!" The shadow took the tea bowl very respectfully, lifted the towel slightly, and drank the tea in a big gulp.

Ethan raised his eyes and looked at the boss's suspicious expression, as if he was guessing Xi Ning's identity. He turned his eyes and looked at the shadow again, his face displeased.

"Yan Zhu." Xi Ning called the girl over and said again: "If the noble person in your mouth is me, then your future will be handed over to me?" ”

Xi Ning slowly drank tea under the curious gaze of everyone and said.

"Yes!" Yan Zhu's shabby clothes, dirty hands and feet, and sweaty face give people a sense of presence that cannot be ignored. The teahouse owner nodded secretly, appreciating Yan Zhu's performance.

The owner of the teahouse who has been wandering the rivers and lakes for many years can see that Xi Ning and others have an extraordinary identity, and there are not many people who have never been far away from Yan Zhu and can raise this courage in a small village. And this girl still supports the family in the small village, and now that her father has died, these children are afraid that they will fly high.

"You go back to the village now, pack up your things, bring your sister and brother here, and I'll take you away." Xi Ning looked at the calm girl in front of her, she didn't understand how the child looked at her, whether she believed that she didn't know it, so she followed her away from the place she was familiar with.

"Noble, please stay with Yan Zhu for half an hour." After speaking, he turned around and ran, and the speed was amazing.

Ethan saw that Xi Ning intended to help these children, so he didn't say much and sat quietly drinking tea. The shadow has come to the manger to feed a few horses.

"The guest officer has good eyesight, do you plan to take these children home, in fact, as long as you cultivate them a little, they will all be tigers and leopards among people." The teahouse owner sat by the stove and said to Xi Ning.

"I don't know if it's a tiger and leopard among people, but they will never be worse than they are now in the future, that's for sure."

After a few moments of chatting back and forth, I bought a few more cars of tea to drink on the road, and then there was a long silence. Ethan returned to the carriage and took a cloak to put on Xi Ning, and the shadow was inspecting the carriage.

At this time, four children came in the distance, and Yan Zhu took the lead, carrying a simple burden behind him.

When he looked closer, Ethan felt that Xi Ning did have good eyesight, one of the girls, her eyebrows and eyes were resolute and leaking, her eyes were sharp, and she was a good seedling for martial arts. Over the years, Ethan, who has been selected and cultivated in various places, has seen people very well, and he has secretly cultivated them in shadow and lore, and most of the people in the secret guard are orphans, and a few of them have been abandoned because their families are poor and cannot afford to raise them.

Xi Ning also noticed this girl, and looked at Xi Ning with a confrontational and hateful attitude. There was also a girl of about eleven or twelve, relatively quiet, holding the hand of the shy little boy in her hands.

Yan Zhu turned around and said loudly to the sisters and brothers behind him: "This noble man is the one who paid to bury his father, and in the future, we will repay this kindness by making cattle and horses." ”

The girl with offended eyebrows glared at Yan Zhu fiercely, and looked at Xi Ning very unwillingly, and finally lowered her head, as if she had accepted her fate. This girl put down the arrogance in her bones in front of her benefactor, she can hate and be ruthless, she can accept and let go, it's not simple. )
