Chapter 44: The Fragrance of Hot Spring Tea

After a long time, Cui'er adapted to the brilliant sunshine, opened her eyes slightly, and instantly jumped into her eyes with a natural picturesque beauty, and couldn't help but open her eyes wide in surprise.

The sunlight leaked from the cracks of several towering ancient trees, the wisps of light, shining on the green grass, bright and tender, the grass bloomed unknown wild flowers, red, yellow and white, swaying with the breeze, the unknown birds in the forest were singing tactfully, and the murmuring sound of flowing water could be heard not far away, the artistic conception was quiet, refreshing and pleasant.

"It's a great place!" Cui'er liked it all at once, looked around with bright eyes, stepped on the soft grass under her feet, and slowly walked towards the depths of this valley with Lian Qingshan.

"Yes, I also love this place very much, I have been willing to tell Qinghe about this place since I was a child, but I didn't expect him to come in yet." Even Qingshan's face was shining with joy when he saw Cui'er, and he knew in his heart that he was right to bring her, and he walked slowly while telling Cui'er interesting stories about her childhood.

Suddenly, a small squirrel with a big palm jumped out from the top of the tree, with golden hair, arched soft and fluffy tail, it held an unknown fruit in its hand, its small mouth trembled slightly, squatting on the ground and staring at a few people with big round eyes.

"Ha......" Xiaohu saw the squirrel, and slapped it happily, quacking and happy, even the big girl, who is usually shy, also giggled, obviously liking the little squirrel on the ground.

The little squirrel, as if startled by the laughter of the two children, accidentally dropped the fruit in his hand on the ground, and without saying a word turned and fled. When it escaped halfway, seeing that Cui'er and the others had no intention of chasing it, they hesitantly touched it back, stretched out their claws to take away the fruit on the ground, and then jumped away without looking back.

The big girl looked at the direction of the little squirrel's escape with disappointment, obviously liking this little thing.

"It's a squirrel, right? Aren't they all gray, why are they so bright? Cui'er thought back to the little thing that had escaped just now, and the few black patterns on its back made Cui'er think that this thing should be a squirrel.

"Well, I guess, I've seen such golden squirrels in this forest when I was a child, it's not unusual." Lian Qingshan looked at Cui'er and asked with some hesitation, "You like that fur, I'll be good in the future, and I'll hunt some for you?" ”

"No, no, no...... The squirrel is alive and well, why kill it, I think this little thing is cute, if only I could take it home and raise it. Cui'er hurriedly shook her head and said, remembering the cute appearance of the little squirrel with a big slap just now, she couldn't wait to hold it in her hand and rub it well.

"Good!" Lian Qingshan nodded, although he didn't say anything, he took Cui'er's words to heart, thinking that when his leg was better, he would have to catch a cute squirrel and go back to Cui'er to raise and play.

"Can you raise it?" When the big girl heard Cui'er's words, she raised her head in surprise, looking at Cui'er as if she was joking, and her happy eyes narrowed into a slit.

"That's the pool I'm talking about!" Lian Qingshan pointed ahead and said to Cui'er.

"Let's go, let's take a look!" Cui'er looked in the direction pointed by Lian Qingshan, and saw a thick mist, and after taking a few steps forward, she saw a pool about the size of a room.

The pond was surrounded by an earthy yellow stone wall, and the gurgling water flowed down the stone wall, accumulating in the pool, and then slowly overflowing from the pool, flowing to an unknown place.

"Ah, it's a hot spring!" Cui'er rushed to the edge of the pool in three or two steps in surprise, her eyes widened excitedly, looking at the crystal clear pool, the depth of the place is about one meter deep, and the shallow place is about one foot, and her heart suddenly itched, if only she could soak in the hot spring.

"Ahh......h

"Xiaohu, this is not our washbasin, you can't pounce!" Cui'er looked at Xiaohu's anxious appearance, and couldn't cry or laugh, because the weather was warm, Cui'er was afraid that Xiaohu would get prickly heat, and when she was fine, she boiled a pot of hot water to bathe the big girl and Xiaohu, and the little guy fell in love with bathing, and wanted to rush in when he saw the water basin.

"Cui'er, this water is not hot, you try." Lian Qingshan didn't know when he walked to Cui'er's side, stretched out his hand to test the temperature of the water, and said to Cui'er while teasing the water.

Cui'er had already had this intention, and stretched out her hand to test the water temperature, but it was hot but not hot, it was the temperature suitable for bathing, "This water temperature is just right!" As Cui'er spoke, she helped Lian Qingshan to sit down, and she also sat on a raised stone not far away, put Xiaohu on her lap, and beckoned the big girl to come over, and the family sat by the water, stretching out their hands to fiddle with the hot spring water, while talking.

"When I was young, I was very naughty, and once I hurt the kid next door, my father beat me up in a fit of anger, and I ran ......away," Lian Qingshan told about his childhood embarrassment, making Cui'er laugh.

"Huh...... You were such a leather kid when you were a child, you really can't see it! Cui'er laughed softly, looking at Lian Qingshan's honest and honest face, she really couldn't imagine that he had run away from home when he was a child.

"Let's not learn from Daddy, Daddy is a naughty child!" Cui'er teased the little tiger in her arms, and the big girl covered her mouth and grinned, obviously understanding what Cui'er said.

"Ahem......" Lian Qingshan was a little embarrassed, coughed, and pretended to look at the mountain flowers in the distance.

Suddenly a breeze blew, and Cui'er smelled a fragrance, which was shallow and faint, with a slight bitterness of grass and trees, but it shocked Cui'er's heart, this is the fragrance of tea!

Cui'er only felt that there was an eager emotion in her chest, rushing to emerge, this familiar aroma seemed to bring her back to her childhood, so kind, so familiar, that Cui'er was excited and almost wanted to cry.

But Cui'er's reason told herself that in the modern decades, although she had drunk countless good teas, she knew little about tea making, and she had never been exposed to fresh tea...... It should be the physical instinct that belongs to the original owner!

With the ripples in my heart, there is still a large amount of information, all kinds of tea fragrance, tea taste, tea shape, rushed into Cui'er's mind, and the memory of Cui'er's previous life fused together, when Cui'er's brain was still confused, the heart had vaguely recognized that the source of this aroma should be a tea tree, and it is a very good quality tea tree.

Cui'er was dizzy, and a thought suddenly flashed in her mind, if this aroma is really a tea tree, and her original owner is a person who has seen tea-making, can she try to pick tea and fry tea as her own livelihood?
