Chapter 114: Looking for Someone but Not Finding Anyone
"Sit down"
The white-bearded old man walked to the coffee table, picked up the still steaming teapot, and slowly poured the tea into two teacups, and in an instant, the room was filled with the enticing aroma of tea.
After pouring the tea, the old man handed one of the cups to Su Shangqiu, Su Shangqiu took the teacup, put it to his mouth and took a sip, the fragrance of tea circulated in his mouth, and the aftertaste was intoxicating.
"Good tea!"
Su Shangqiu exclaimed, after speaking, he licked his lips and took another sip, the sweet taste melted in his mouth, and it seemed that the heat hidden in his body was also removed.
When the old man heard Su Shangqiu's admiration, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he said proudly: "That's it, this is our unique camellia here, and it's not easy to drink it." ”
Su Shangqiu took another sip of tea and finally got down to business.
"Uncle, haven't you really seen my friend?"
The old man also took a sip of tea, grunted his lips, and then asked, "What does that friend look like?" ”
Su Shangqiu immediately took out his mobile phone, called up the photo he and his colleagues had taken with Su Tuo, and then pointed to one of the thinner people and said, "Uncle, look, this is my missing friend." ”
The old man narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Su Shangqiu's mobile phone screen, then shook his head and said, "I haven't seen this young man, how did he disappear?" ”
Su Shangqiu told him what happened before, the old man didn't seem surprised, after listening to it, he just thought quietly, and couldn't say why, Su Shangqiu had to give up asking about Xiaolu.
"Uncle, I have one more question for you."
"Young man, if you have any questions, just ask, if the old man knows something, he will definitely tell you." The old man was very enthusiastic, as if he hadn't spoken to anyone for a long time, but suddenly found someone willing to talk to him.
"Okay, then I'll ask, why haven't I seen a single villager in this village for so long just now, your village is so big, and I've only seen you alone until now, what's going on?" Su Shangqiu asked puzzled.
After the old man heard Su Shangqiu's question, he laughed, he stroked his beard, and replied: "They, they are not as idle as you city people, you see that the tea leaves used in your hands are the miles they planted, and they are all picking tea leaves on the mountain at this time." ”
After hearing this, Su Shangqiu suddenly realized: "It turns out that this is the case, no wonder I haven't seen anyone." ”
"But they're coming back soon, do you want to wait, I'll ask them to pack you some fresh tea leaves for you to take home and taste slowly."
Su Shangqiu hurriedly declined: "Uncle, no need, it's really a waste to give me such a good tea, I still have to go to my colleagues." ”
After Su Shangqiu stood up, he continued: "Next time, I'll bother you when I have time." ”
The old man looked at Su Shangqiu's eager appearance and didn't hold back, stood up and said: "Then you better hurry up and find your colleague, don't worry so much, your friend is not a child anymore, maybe he didn't answer your call because he forgot to bring his mobile phone or because of some urgency." ”
"Maybe, but I still have to look for it, otherwise I'm so upset, I'll leave first."
"Okay, young man, you can come back when you have time." The old man said kindly, but when Su Shangqiu was not paying attention, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"The environment here is so good, I will definitely come when I have time, now I will go and get busy first."
After saying this, after the old man nodded, he walked out of the luxurious stilted building and walked out along the path.
Since the villagers here are all picking tea leaves on the mountain, there is no need for him to ask the villagers here for news, although there will be some old people at home, but it is estimated that he can't ask anything.
He walked back to the altar along the path, he went to the bottom of the big tree, took out his mobile phone, and wanted to call his colleagues, but he found that there was not even a single signal here, and there was no way, so he had to go out of the village, to the cut of the concrete road, and take out his mobile phone again to call his colleagues.
But strangely, he couldn't get through a single phone, he looked at his phone and found that the signal was full, and he couldn't help but feel confused.
He thought about it, suddenly patted his head, and said sarcastically: It's really stupid, since there is no signal in the village, what is the use of having a signal on his side, there is no signal on the other side.
Then he thought about whether Xiaolu couldn't receive their calls because there was no signal in the village, but he thought about it for a while and felt that it was wrong, because Xiaolu's mobile phone had already been connected, and since it was connected, there must be a signal on the other side.
Is it really like what the uncle said, Xiaolu forgot to bring his mobile phone?
Or is there something really urgent and you get out of here?
Didn't answer his call because he was muted or wasn't available?
Su Shangqiu called Xiaolu again, but there were still busy tones on the phone.
The sun was about to set at this time, and the light could no longer make people feel a trace of heat.
Su Shangqiu looked at the time on his phone and found that it was already six o'clock in the afternoon.
He put away his phone, smelled the smell of sweat on his body, frowned slightly, waited for a while, and when he found that his colleague hadn't come out yet, he also knew that he couldn't wait here any longer.
He now has two choices, one is to go back to the village and find a family to spend the night, and the other is to go back to the Changshan Xianyuan Hotel.
After thinking about it, he decided to go back to Changshan Xianyuan Hotel first, because he didn't want to disturb the people in the village anymore, he always felt that there would always be some trouble in this way, and it was very likely that Xiaolu would return to the hotel, and he might be able to see him when he went back?
As for the words of his colleagues, as the old man in the village said, they are not children anymore, and they will always find a place to live, but there is always a trace of uneasiness in his heart.
The place where this village is located is already very remote, and there are cars coming here during the day, but at this point in time, let alone cars, the sound of cars cannot be heard.
Su Shangqiu looked at the long road, reluctantly got up and walked towards the loop.
After an hour of walking, he finally returned to the Xianyuan Hotel, he booked a room, and immediately took a warm shower after returning to the room, after taking a bath, he took a hair dryer to dry his hair, and immediately jumped on the bed and lay down on the bed.
After a day of walking, he really couldn't stand it, he was tired, and the feeling of soreness was too uncomfortable, at this time he was lying on the bed, plus taking a bath, it was really refreshing, and the happiest feeling in the world was really nothing more than this.
At the moment, he didn't want to think about anything, he didn't want to do anything, he just lay quietly, and after a while, he really couldn't bear the invasion of sleepiness, and fell into a deep sleep.
