The weather was still hot, the sun was still scorching, and under the big green aspen with oil, a roof was pulled with a few pieces of dark blue cloth, and under the roof were a few shabby wooden tables and a few small benches.

Border plug small country, eat tea shop.

This kind of shop is very common, and most of them are for people who are in a hurry to get a resting place.

A penny for a pot of tea, most of the tea is old tea with withered leaves, put it in hot water until it rolls, and it will be sweet and refreshing after cooling.

Although it is not as good as the Longjing, oolong, and Xinyang tea that the nobles drink, it also relieves the tiredness of the passers-by.

Under the torn blue cloth, a fifteen or sixty-year-old man lazily propped himself on the table with one hand, raised his head and lowered his head with his eyes closed, and suddenly with a pop, he slammed his head on the wooden table.

"his grandma's big sun."

The old man narrowed his small cloudy eyes, and rubbed his forehead, which was as bitter as the bark of an old tree trunk, the pain became more and more intense, and the old man scolded a few more words, and then stood up and grew long.

But I was shocked to find that the sleeve on the old man's right was empty and flicked around with his movements.

And the dark blue garment of the wide, shabby pudding, like the roof, looked very funny.

If a farmer's child passes by an elder who brings food to his own fields, there are always a few little naughty people who point at him and shout:

"Old man Sun, why are you walking around in your bunk again?"

Every time like this, Old Man Sun would pretend to have a gloomy face, pick up the big wooden spoon beside him to stir tea and soup, and stomp a few feet on the ground fiercely, looking like chasing those bear children, but he couldn't move a few steps.

Every time, he glared at them and shouted: "Broken children, bully me such an old man as a liar, don't let me catch you, throw you into the tea field if you are caught, and take care of my old tea tree guys!" ”

Before the children could finish hearing this, they had already run away without a trace, and Old Man Sun knew that they couldn't hear it, but he always finished speaking, and then laughed by himself for a while, and then sat in front of his shop in a daze.

Old man Sun was very tanned and dark, his eyes were cloudy, although his face was full of wrinkles, but between his eyebrows, there was a faint indescribable delicate air. He was tall and thin, and his back was slightly saddled, and he greeted people when he saw them, and he didn't care whether others ignored him or not.

He has no relatives, no children, he is lonely and does not know where he came from, this small shop has been open for most of his life, and some parents of farmers in the field said that he saw this old man here when he was a child, doing a living as a wind servant.

Someone asked him how long he had been here, and he only vaguely said that it was too long for him to know.

Old man Sun looked at the boiling tea, touched the hot sweat on his face, and slapped the spoon, trying not to let the tea stick to the bottom of the pot.

There was gradually the sound of horses' hooves moving behind him, and Old Man Sun knew that a guest was coming.

"A bowl of tea."

The voice came from a man, who set the horse aside, and he obediently graze.

I saw that the man was wearing a straw hat, the brim of the hat was the kind of wide random weaving, just to cover the man's face, he sat on the stool with long legs, put the sword in his hand on the table in front of him, after the old man Sun greeted, he looked in his direction, the man's neck was slender and white, and the side face under the invisible was also faintly handsome.

"Hehe, Childe, you're ready to go! Look at how many days you've been here, you're in such a hurry. ”

He was still silent and did not answer, he passed by here the other day, this is what he looked like, it seemed that he was going back after finishing his errands.

Old man Sun didn't feel embarrassed, and still smiled:

"Childe, do you see this tea, is it clear?"

Old man Sun held the teapot in his left hand and poured him a bowl of tea, but the boy only took a sip and still didn't reply to him. The thin lips pursed slightly, and then nodded slightly, that is, satisfied.

Old man Sun was very pleased with his response, and he got a big living person here, and he didn't care whether he listened or not, so he opened the conversation:

"Look at which rich son you are, look at your dark purple gilt silk dress, I have never seen a few people wear it in my life, every time I pass by people here, you are the most pleasing to the eye."

He praised naturally, and he was also sincere.

Usually he is also idle and bored, this kind of hot ghost weather, there are few people on the road, and sometimes he can't earn a few dollars a day, but he lives happily and freely.

"Childe, what are you going to do to pinch it, what fun pinch is there in the country? I've been here for most of my life, but I haven't been anywhere else! Alas...... Sometimes I really want to go back to another place, you see that I am dying of misery every day here......"

"Why don't the old people go to the country to have a look?"

He spoke slowly, his long fingers attaching his straw hat to it, ready to take it off.

Old man Sun knew what he meant, it was nothing more than that this place could be walked to within half a day of the founding country, why did he say that he had never entered it for most of his life.

He smiled and said:

"I still have a few acres of tea trees, old man! Tea trees have to be taken care of. They are very expensive, so they don't care if you have time or not, when you give them a branch and fertilizer. Keep an eye on the time! More and less will not work, alas...... If I raise them, it is equivalent to raising myself, how can I make a living if I don't raise them! ”

The man buttoned his straw hat on the table, and then met the pair of cloudy eyes, and said in a clear voice:

"The old man is so attentive to this tea tree, and the tea made here is also attentive. I've been through so many tea shops like yours, and I've counted your delicious and refreshing tastes. That's good.

But...... The old man's right arm...... Is it convenient to raise this precious tea tree? ”

Hearing him suddenly ask about his right arm, he subconsciously pressed his empty sleeve, and he didn't think much about it, and the people who passed by here to drink tea didn't ask one or two anyway.

His face was wrinkled with a smile, and he was slightly startled at the handsome face, and he forgot for a moment how he was going to answer. then blurted out:

"Ah, this son is really handsome! But a lot of girls are arguing and following you! When I was young, I also knew a few handsome sons and brothers like you, and there were also a group of girls on the street vying to see them. Alas...... I suddenly missed them a little. But it depends on what you're wearing. Like serving in the north, where does Childe come from? Can you say that? ”

Although Old Man Sun has some foul words in his mouth, he knows how to measure people very well, and he is very "rough" and polite.

He remembered for a moment, and when he heard the boy say something, he trembled in shock.

"Qi country, Yecheng, that place in the north, where hibiscus is fragrant."
