Chapter 97: Strange Old Man
Because he expected to stay here for a while, Haifu had already rented a house in a village at the foot of Dongting Mountain before he came.
By the time we arrived at our destination, it was nearly dusk.
Qin Tian looked out of the car window, but saw that this was a small village, and most of the people who lived here were farmers who lived by farming. Looking all the way, there are dozens of families, now is the time to go home after work, the road is full of hoes, feet full of mud men, when approaching the door of the house, there are Jing Hai cloth skirt 'women' smiled forward to greet each other, hand in hand to go home. There are also some children sitting at the 'door' with their rice bowls to eat, surrounded by some 'chickens' and ducks, gurgling and quacking.
There are warm and peaceful pictures everywhere, and you can't help but laugh when you look at them.
After a while, the carriage stopped in front of a small courtyard.
The yard was fenced with mud. After entering, it is a small front yard, there is a well in the yard, there is a locust tree next to it, the locust 'flower' of the tree is full of trees, and when the wind blows, the fine 'flower' petals fall to the ground like snow flakes. As soon as the sunset is illuminated by the twilight sun, it shows a faint pink 'color', which is a very beautiful scenery.
Behind the courtyard is a white-walled and blue-tiled house. Haifu brought the carriage in, and said to Qin Tian and Zhuang Xinyan who were standing in the courtyard: "This place is a little simple, but it is already the best and cleanest place I can find." ”
Qin Tian ran inside to take a look around, and said with a smile: "I think it's not bad, although the sparrow is small, it has all the organs." ”
Zhuang Xinyan looked left and right, his pale face was 'colored', and he couldn't tell whether he was satisfied or dissatisfied, but it was not okay to be dissatisfied.
After Qin Tian and Haifu settled everything, Qin Tian went to the kitchen to take a look again, and saw that there was all kinds of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, as well as dried rice, 'meat' and vegetables, so he began to make a fire to cook. In the past, she often had to cook at her uncle's house, and cooking was not difficult for her. Soon two dishes and one soup were made.
I don't know if Qin Tian's cooking is particularly in line with Zhuang Xinyan's appetite, or if Zhuang Xinyan himself is hungry, he actually ate two more bowls of rice. Haifu asked him in the small notebook: "Young master, is the food cooked by Qin Tian particularly delicious?" ”
Qin Tian looked at him expectantly, people who cook generally want to hear the affirmation of others. But Zhuang Nobuhiko raised his head and glanced at her, shook his head, looking very dissatisfied, and then stroked his full stomach into the room.
Qin Tian looked at the bowl facing the sky at the bottom of the table and was speechless, it's not delicious, you still eat so much?
Because the three of them were tired from the journey, after eating, everyone washed and slept.
There are three rooms here. In the middle is the hall house, and on both sides are the bedrooms, Qin Tian and Zhuang Xinyan sleep in the east room, and Haifu sleeps in the west room. Haifu prepared a sleeping couch for Qin Tian, although the furniture was relatively simple, but the covers were prepared by Haifu, so it was quite comfortable.
The two went back to the room and fell into bed, fell asleep at once, and did not say anything all night.
The next day, Qin Tian got up to 'serve' Zhuang Xinyan, although the atmosphere was always a little unnatural when he dressed him, but after thinking about it, he could redeem himself and get rid of the identity of the little girl, and he was immediately relieved, and his movements were neat. She doesn't care if she will run into him or not, as long as it is convenient for her, she has made up her mind, if he dares to throw his face, she will let Haifu serve him! But fortunately, no matter how many times she touched him, he didn't make a sound, but his body was always a little stiff.
After breakfast, Qin Tian and Haifu accompanied Zhuang Xinyan up the mountain to see the tea trees.
After asking people, I learned that tea trees grow in fruit groves halfway up the mountainside. The three of them followed the farmers of the orchard up the hill together.
This mountain doesn't look high, but I didn't expect it to be very difficult to climb, the peasants are used to climbing, and they jumped up with a few strokes of their 'legs', and soon left Qin Tian and them behind. Qin Tian and Haifu are okay, one is a small maid and the other is a maid, they usually don't exercise and work, but they suffer Zhuang Xinyan, a pampered young master. He couldn't walk halfway up, his two 'legs' were sore and limp, and he couldn't help but stop, straightened his waist and gasped.
After Haifu and Qin Tian found out in front, they turned back one after another, and Qin Tian wrote in his notebook, "Are you tired, do you want to take a break?" Then he handed him water.
Zhuang Xinyan took the water and drank two sips, and wanted to signal for a break first, but he could see Haifu saying to Qin Tian: "Are you tired?" ”
Qin Tian shook his head and smiled: "I'm not tired, and I'm not a young master." ( )”
When Zhuang Xinyan saw this, his face was a little feverish, could he still be looked down upon by such a little girl?
He handed the kettle in his hand to Qin Tianhou, gritted his teeth, and continued to walk forward.
"Young master, aren't you resting?" Qin Tian caught up with him.
Zhuang Xinyan ignored her and continued to walk forward, he mustered up his strength, and his steps became faster and faster.
"I didn't expect the young master to be 'very' powerful!" Qin Tian followed behind Zhuang Xinyan and said to Haifu beside him. Haifu knew that Zhuang Xinyan was 'provoked' by Qin Tian, and he didn't make a sound, just hiding and laughing alone.
Qin Tian didn't know what he was laughing at, so he asked him a few words, but he didn't say anything, so he had to follow him.
At this rate, it doesn't take long to reach your destination.
A large orchard is opened up in the middle of the mountainside, tea trees and peach, plum, apricot, plum, persimmon, orange, ginkgo fruit, pomegranate and other fruit trees are 'intertwined' planting, rows of verdant 'desire' tea canopy, like a green 'color' screen, a piece of fruit trees with thick shade like an umbrella, covered with frost and snow, covering the autumn sun. Tea trees, fruit tree branches are connected, the roots and veins are connected, the tea absorbs the fruity aroma, and the "flower" tea flavor cultivates the natural quality of the "frightening fragrance" tea "flower" fragrant and fruity flavor.
After the three of them rested for a while, Qin Tian accompanied Zhuang Xinyan to ask the tea farmers, only to know that now is the time to harvest the "tea before the rain", many farmers are there to harvest tea, Zhuang Xinyan is not idle, through Qin Tian and the tea farmers 'exchange', to understand the bits and pieces of this tea, and their methods of making tea. Watch them pick tea. At first, Zhuang Xinyan was still cramped because of contact with strangers, but because of his outstanding appearance, coupled with his generous shots, and the simple customs of the people here, no one laughed at his disability, all with a friendly smile, and slowly, he let go. ( )
He looked at the tea leaves carefully, bought a lot of fresh tea leaves from the farmers, and wanted to wait for the farmers to pick them and take them down the mountain together, but suddenly, the sky was 'overcast'.
Haifu looked at the sky, and said to Qin Tian: "Qin Tian, you take the young master back first, it seems that it is about to rain, if it rains, the mountain road will be very slippery!" ”
Qin Tian thought about it, so he said to Zhuang Xinyan, Zhuang Xinyan was also tired at this time, so he didn't object.
Haifu stayed here and waited for the tea, and Qin Tian and Zhuang Xinyan went down the mountain along the same road.
Going down the mountain is far easier than going up the mountain, but Zhuang Xinyan was already a little struggling at this time because he used too much force when he came up the mountain before, but he was afraid that Qin Tian would look down on him, so he still held on.
Halfway through, Qin Tian suddenly stopped, she listened carefully, and vaguely seemed to hear something: "Is there anyone?" Is anyone here? ”
Seeing her expression, Zhuang Xinyan frowned, as if asking, "What's the matter?" ”
Qin Tian hurriedly wrote in a small notebook: "It seems that someone is asking for help," and then turned around and ran towards the place where the voice came from.
Zhuang Xinyan hurriedly followed behind her.
Entering a small forest next to the mountain road, Qin Tian saw an old man dressed as a farmer lying on the ground with his 'legs' in his hands, his face full of pain.
"Uncle, what's wrong with you?" Qin Tian hurriedly walked over to take a look.
The old man saw people coming, as if relieved, "I came up the mountain, saw that there is a kind of grass 'medicine' here, I wanted to pick it back, but I didn't expect to accidentally fall, the 'leg' fell and injured, people are old and useless, I want to go up and down the mountain when I am young, it can be said that it is a healthy walk like flying!" The old man shook his head, infinitely embarrassed.
"Can the old man still stand up?" Qin Tian asked him.
"If I can stand up, I won't have to sit here for a full hour, the bones of my 'legs' seem to be wounded."
Qin Tian stood up and looked left and right, there was no one else nearby except her and Zhuang Xinyan, and he couldn't afford to carry the old man, Zhuang Xinyan?
Qin Tian glanced at him and shook his head secretly, or forget it, he is a big young master, where has he done such a thing?
Thinking of this, Qin Tian turned to the old man and said, "Uncle, you wait a minute, I'll call someone to come and carry you down." "Now I can only go up the mountain to call people.
She told Zhuang Xinyan about this in a small notebook, and asked him to take care of the old man, and turned around and went up the mountain by herself.
There was a muffled 'spring' thunder, and it began to rain in the sky.
When she came back with Haifu and others, she saw that Zhuang Xinyan had already taken off his robe and held it up to cover herself and her uncle. Most of his robes were covered by the old man's body, and most of his body was exposed to the rain, and the rain ran down the corners of his clothes on the top of his head and drenched him all over his face, and he kept blinking his eyes, but he did not move a single point.
Looking at this scene, Qin Tian was suddenly a little moved in his heart, in fact, Zhuang Xinyan was a little stranger, but his heart was not bad.
She smiled and walked over.
The old man raised his head when he heard the movement, and saw that Qin Tianhou was stunned: "Little girl, you are ......"
Qin Tian lowered his head and glanced at the mud stains all over his body, and smiled indifferently: "I was in a hurry on the road, and I fell, so it won't get in the way." ”
The old man looked at her, then at Zhuang Xinyan beside him, and then at Haifu and the farmers who were discussing how to 'get' him, smiled and said, "Thank you so much." ”
There are many people who are easy to do, and after a while, everyone carried the old man and quickly sent the old man down the mountain. When he arrived at his house, Qin Tian learned that the place where the old man lived was very close to them.
Several people carried the old man into the courtyard, and at this time, a man dressed as a servant in his forties greeted him, and when he saw the old man being carried by everyone, his face turned white with fright, "Master, what's wrong with you?" Where's the injury? What happened? Sentence after sentence, obviously panicked.
The old man stretched out his hand to signal him not to panic, although after such a toss, the old man's mood was quite calm: "What are you panicking, I'm not dead." ”
"Master, don't say such unlucky words to scare the old slave!" The servant was so anxious that he was about to weep.
Qin Tian looked at it from the side and felt very strange, this old man was obviously dressed as a farmer, but some people called him master. If he is really an old man, but he lives in such a humble place, and he has to work in the mountains, what kind of person is this?
