Chapter 19 The Four Old Men Who Are Difficult
While Old Man Sun was in the back room, feeding the injured with ambergris juice, the four old men were not idle.
"This little old man's tea is good. Among the four elders, the third oldest one, took a sip of the tea juice in the cup, fiddled with the tea pot on the low cabinet in the corner, opened the lid, and reached in with his slender fingers to take out a small pinch of tea.
Put it in the palm of your hand, look at the shape, observe the color, get close and smell the aroma, and say in your mouth: "It's not ordinary, it's really not ordinary! This is ancient tea! No wonder it tastes so mellow." This tea must have been harvested from a thousand-year-old tea tree, hmm...... The age of the tree may be more than 1,000 years, or even 10,000 years...... The tea trees in this vicinity are mostly hundred-year-old and thousand-year-old tea trees, which can be described as rare. There are a few scattered plants on the North Mountain, I have drunk them, and the taste is definitely not so mellow. Strange, where did he get this tea?"
Hearing him say this, the old man next to him, who was closest to him and was the fourth in age, seemed to be interested, stepped forward to draw the gourd in the same way, learned the action he had just made to recognize and smell the tea, and then nodded thoughtfully, "Sure enough, it's good tea!"
"What's so strange about this? I heard that this little old man didn't stop when he was young, he went from south to north, running around, I don't know how many troubles he caused, and he may not have experienced any adventures! What is it to collect some ancient tea leaves? It's hard to guarantee that he doesn't have some strange things hidden in his house, which you have never seen or heard of......" The old man, who was the second in the second year, looked disdainful, and actually said "Huh" again, tightened his brows, and asked: "Did any of you see where the toad ran just now? Why did it disappear in a blink of an eye? ...... Little Girl...... Come out quickly!"
"Why is Brother Huang so anxious to find it?" asked the fourth brother.
"What do you know? I haven't seen the little old man enter the house for so long, and he hasn't come out yet? I wonder if there is probably not much left in that bowl of medicinal juice! For the sake of now, I have to catch the toad first, whether it still has medicinal power in its body, it is always good to keep it for backup, and it will not end up empty-handed. ”
"Oh... It makes sense!" The fourth thought that he, Brother Huang, was far-sighted! The idea of "testing the medicine with chickens" before was also the first thing he thought of, although he was later replaced by a toad by Old Man Sun, but the method is still the same method, and the principle is the same.
"Oh, does he have any other good things hidden in his house? Alas, Brother Hao, don't stand stupidly, help out......" The third child is obviously not very interested in finding the toad. Regardless of whether there is still medicinal power in the body of this thing, just a little toad, after peeling the skin and removing the bones, there is only so much left, how can the four people be divided?
He shook his head.
It's better to dig out something useful!
"Anyway, this pot of tea in my hand, I asked Old Man Sun for a decision!" he thought to himself.
"Oh...... Oh......" Brother Hao was referring to the fourth child, who was trying to help the second child find the toad. At this time, I heard the third child calling, and I hurriedly answered the call and turned to the third child......
The three old men were busy looking for what they were looking for. Only the eldest old man, still calm, with his eyes slightly closed, holding a tea cup in his hand, sat upright at the table. When I looked closer, there was no soup in the teacup, and the person was already asleep......
"What? Are you saying that ambergris is ineffective against the person inside?" The second of the four elders stared at Old Man Sun incredulously with wide eyes.
He had spent most of the day looking for his toad inside and outside the house and all over the world!
Unexpectedly, as soon as Old Man Sun came out, he told them the news.
After getting Old Man Sun's affirmative answer, he felt like he had been beaten on the top of his head, and he almost fainted on the spot!
"How is that possible?...... Isn't that toad alive well?"
"I didn't say it wouldn't work, I just said it was temporary. At least, so far. "Old man Sun, a little helpless.
But so much time has passed, is this hope still great?
Everyone recalled that after the toad was given medicine, it only took more than half a cup of tea to take effect! Looking at the current situation, there was little hope.
"How much did you feed him? Could it be that the dose is not enough?"
"What? Feed them all! Feed them all! Nothing left?"
"Didn't you-you say okay, leave a few drops for the four of us......"
"Words are not believed, broken promises and fat, villain behavior is also-"
"That's it! Brother Huang is right!"
"You won't see this elixir, be greedy, and drink it all for yourself, right?"
"Nothing, we don't believe it! Open your mouth and let us see the real ......."
"You...... It's clean to swallow! There is no trace between the teeth!"
The three old men surrounded Old Man Sun, and you said a word to me, with a posture of refusing to give up.
The boss, who was in a dream fugue, woke up in a shouting voice, and when he saw this battle, he first shook his head, and after hearing a rough idea, he said, "Shut up." "It's not loud, but it's enough to overwhelm the scene.
His gaze swept over the people present one by one, and finally locked on the innocent and aggrieved face of Old Man Sun, and slowly spit out six words at him: "The three of them, right!"
