Chapter 4 Tea Picking
Otherwise, how can you say that there is an old family and a treasure. Only the old village chief is so well-informed, and sober-minded people can think of this joint, he said this, the villagers will naturally not object, after all, it is now a peaceful and prosperous era, life can go on, it is better to worship this thing, if there is a crisis one day, there are many choices.
"Please also ask Mr. Lu for forgiveness, they are all short-sighted, this demon was killed by Mr. Lu, and it should be dealt with by Mr. Lu. After the excitement was over, the village chief also realized that this thing was logically Mr. Lu's similar thing, and it was something that they could call the shots on their own.
Lu Yu smiled and waved his hand and said: "What use do I want this corpse to do, let's give it to you, it's the accommodation fee for my temporary stay here, if you feel embarrassed, just take out the good tea you have at home." ”
Lu Yu's words made the villagers ecstatic, if Lu Yu left the toad corpse, although they would regret it, they would definitely not be unwilling, you must know that now Lu Yu is in Liuhewan and the old village chief is a level of existence, as long as he says a word, it is to stop all the work in his hands, and he will complete it for Mr.
At this time, hearing that the gentleman agreed, everyone was elated and shouted for the village chief to hold a banquet.
"These kids are really, and you're not welcome at all. The village chief shook his head and scolded.
"Don't treat me as an outsider!" Lu Yu said indifferently, this thing is a rare encirclement for the people of Liuhewan, and it is useless for Lu Yu, looking at the cheerful crowd with a smile, stretching out his hand to invite the village chief to drink a pot of tea with himself.
The tea trees in Liuhewan are green tea, and the best tea is Mingqian tea. Every year at this time, the village holds a grand ancestor worship event, placing cattle and sheep to pray for safety.
At the end of the festival, there will be young men with ropes around their waists, climbing on the cliffs and picking spring tea, which is the biggest income of the year for the villagers.
This year is no exception, the old village chief gave an order, and the young people who had already prepared quickly climbed along the cliff, they are all good climbers, and they have trained this ability since childhood.
After a while, the young men had climbed the cliff, cautiously approaching a few tea trees, which was the lifeblood of the whole village, and slowly picked the buds of the tea trees and put them into the back basket on their backs, which slowly relieved them.
At this time, Lu Yu suddenly took out a small branch, and there were a few young shoots hanging on it, and with a slight wave, he saw that there was a colorful glow flying out of the tea tree on the cliff, and fell on the shoot in Lu Yu's hand.
Everyone looked at this magical scene in surprise, not knowing what Mr. Lu's purpose was in doing this, but they believed that Mr. Lu would not harm him.
"Oh my God!" a burst of exclamation drew everyone's attention, and they saw that the buds that had been harvested were actually growing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and after a while, they returned to the state they were in before they were picked.
The young people were ecstatic to see this, and immediately picked it, only to be pleasantly surprised to find that the tea grew again, and it did not stop growing until three times later, even so, their income this time was also very amazing, everyone weighed the weight of the basket on their backs, and their hearts were full of joy.
"It must be Mr. Lu who used the immortal method, don't hurry up to thank Mr. The old village chief was the first to come out of his surprised state and hurriedly instructed the people around him.
At this time, everyone realized that Lu Yu had long since disappeared.
"Sir is there. One of the children shouted. Everyone followed the direction he pointed out and found that Lu Yu had already ridden away on the big black donkey, leaving only a back for everyone.
"Sir, go slowly!" everyone shouted loudly, hoping to keep Mr., but they saw Mr. turn around and wave, and the big black donkey instantly turned into a black shadow and disappeared from everyone's sight.
The villagers of Liuhewan instantly lost the joy of the previous harvest, and the backs of Lu Yu who went here one by one were stunned.
"Mr. is an immortal, how can he stay in the world for a long time, we can live with Mr. for so long is already a blessing to invite heaven, if you are greedy will be punished by God, it is better to go back and live well, so as not to waste Mr. A hard work. The words of the village chief recalled everyone's minds, and everyone continued the unfinished work, but without the elation of the front.
The old village chief also sighed slightly, leaned on his crutches, and swayed back to the ancestral hall, although he had just comforted the villagers with righteous words, but in fact, he was also very uncomfortable in his heart, although Lu Yu did not live for a long time, but he was peaceful and knowledgeable, and the village chief did not have that sense of distance when talking to him, so it could be regarded as a year-old friend, of course, he didn't know that this Mr. Lu was actually much older than him.
Walking into the ancestral hall and looking at the empty hall, the old village chief was in a trance, and it seemed that he could still see the gentleman who was as gentle as jade sitting on the desk, making a pot of hot tea, and smiling and inviting himself to taste.
After settling down, the old village chief knew that he would never see this gentleman again in his life, and at this moment he suddenly found that there was something on the desk.
When I walked in, I saw that there were two agate stones that Lu Yu often played with, and at this time there was a light of Yinyin, and a book was pressed underneath.
Calling the pillar, who was already familiar with poetry and books, the old village chief looked at him attentively, hoping to know what the gentleman had left.
"Village chief, please forgive me for saying goodbye, gathering and scattering, each with its own time, don't worry. I left the agate stone, which bears my mark to protect the village from disaster, and the book records the way of planting tea cuttings and the method of roasting tea to make tea, which is a gift I gave to the villagers and children. ”
A few words, but it seemed to ring in his ears, the village chief couldn't help but wet his eyes, he looked at the agate stone and the book and knew that this was a gift from the gentleman to them.
With this book, the villagers of Liuhewan will no longer risk their lives to pick tea leaves on the cliffs, and the agate stone is a treasure that can avoid disasters, the village chief has never heard of such a treasure, and he is very grateful to Lu Yu in his heart, but it is a pity that this gentleman has quietly left, so they can't find anyone to be grateful.
Later, Liuhewan became a well-known tea town, relying on the unique method of planting tea and making tea, the villagers lived a happy life, and the ancestral hall enshrined the agate stone and toad left by Lu Yu.
One day, there were dignitaries and nobles who heard about this treasure, came to take it, but never thought that before they got close to the ancestral hall, they were hit by the flying agate stone, and no one dared to invade this village since then.
