Liuhewan is a small village in Yongzhou in the Western Han Dynasty, the village is not large, but there are 50 families, located in the mountains.

As the saying goes: rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the water to eat the water. For the villagers of Liuhewan, their biggest income is the tea trees on the cliffs in the village, and the tea leaves on the tea trees are deeply loved by dignitaries.

The houses in the village are scattered, the sound of chickens and dogs is heard, and the smoke of cooking is rising, which is the villagers preparing breakfast.

The half-grown boys were the most naughty, and despite the obstacles of their families, they picked up breakfast and ran wildly because he was going to be late for school.

Originally, there was no school in a small village like Liuhewan, but this luck came to stop it, some time ago, there was a gentleman riding a black donkey in the green shirt came to the village, hoping to borrow a period of time, the village chief saw that this gentleman was extraordinary, and he was a scholar at a glance, so he was hospitable, and by the way, he hoped that this gentleman could teach the children in the village.

In this era, knowledge has always been monopolized in the hands of the family, the children of the poor family want to read and read is a difficult thing to climb to the sky, the old village chief also went north and south when he was young, so he knows the importance of reading and literacy, but unfortunately there is no literate person in this village, and the gentleman outside does not look down on this small village, and now there is a borrowed gentleman, how can he let go.

Originally, the village chief was ready to be rejected, but this gentleman seemed to be very talkative, and readily agreed to the village chief's request and opened a lecture hall in the ancestral hall of the village.

Reading and literacy is a great thing for farmers who have been digging in the soil for generations, and they are willing to support the sale of iron, but this gentleman also said that he taught his children not to collect money, and the only thing is to drink tea, so the villagers have taken out their treasured tea leaves to give to Mr., and from time to time sent some local products, which is regarded as paying tuition.

However, the opening of the school made these half-grown children suffer, and under the coercion of their parents, they had to bid farewell to their precious freedom, put on the new clothes prepared at home, and go to the ancestral hall early every day to study.

But just for a short time, they liked the class, the teacher gave a very interesting class, they never knew that the outside world was like that, there were princes and generals, there were rivers and lakes, and there were more gods and ghosts.

In the ancestral hall of Liuhewan, Mr. Tsing Yi is sitting opposite an old man, and between them is a table made of Huanghuali, which is full of simplicity.

There was a set of tea sets on the table, and I saw Mr. Tsing Yi cleaning his hands, rewarding utensils, washing pots, brewing, and sealing pots. No matter how many times the old man watched it, he felt pleasing to the eye, and he only felt that his heart was calm.

"Every time I watch my husband make tea, there is always a strange feeling, such a natural harmony. The old man stroked his beard and praised with a smile.

"The village chief praised it, please taste it. Mr. Tsing Yi served a cup of tea to the old man, and saw the green tea leaves rising and falling in the cup, full of interest and unique flavor.

"It's not an old man's praise, Mr. This way of drinking tea is still old and has never seen it, but it feels like a breeze blowing on the face, washing the soul, I don't know if Mr. has any plans to pass on this method to the world?"

"It's just a matter of picking up people's teeth, and Lu also plans to write a book to record in detail the details of tea trees everywhere, the production methods and the various existing ways of drinking tea. Mr. said with a smile, this gentleman is Lu Yu.

"Don't forget to praise our tea trees in Liuhewan at that time!" said the old man with a smile.

Just as the two were drinking tea and chatting, they suddenly heard a noise outside, and it turned out that the children in class were making water for their husband during the break.

The children think that ordinary water is not worthy of a character like their husband, and only the clear spring in the mountains can be worthy of their husband's appearance. The simple children, who did not know how to thank the teacher who had helped them preach and solve their doubts, expressed their gratitude in this way.

Lu Yu did not stop the children's behavior, he knew that only if he accepted it calmly, the children's hearts would be happy, and besides, using the water of this mountain spring to make tea would have a different taste.

"The children are back, can the journey be safe?" asked the old man with a smile, after all, the road was a long way, although the children were in groups, the old man still asked very seriously.

"Grandpa the village chief, the journey is safe, I haven't even seen a snake, otherwise I can add a meal to Mr. tonight. "The children who grew up in the mountains are not small, and they are still thinking about catching a snake and giving food to their husband.

"Brother Zhuzi, you forgot about the bride. A child with a snot on his nose said.

These words attracted the attention of Lu Yu and the others, and the village chief took the lead in asking, "Where is the bride?"

"I met him on the way to get water, dressed in a flower dress, standing at the entrance of the village, and he looked beautiful. The child named Pillar was the oldest, recalled.

Children in the countryside refer to good-looking young women as brides, because they have the impression that only the bride is the most beautiful.

"What did this bride say?" Lu Yu asked.

She asked, "Is the gentleman at home today?" ”

"Whose daughter-in-law is this, so shameless, she actually dares to beat the idea of the husband, and when the old man finds out, he has to break her legs. "The old village chief is already angry.

"Don't worry, village chief, what happened later, what did you say?"

"Let's tell you the truth, let's just say that my husband is at home, and then when we get water, we won't see her. ”

Lu Yu frowned slightly, and soon returned to his original state, and said with a smile: "Some small things, don't take it to heart to the village chief, the children don't hurry up to come to class." ”

The children who had just played were sitting in the ancestral hall one by one, listening carefully to Lu Yu's lecture, the village chief nodded with satisfaction when he saw this, and slowly walked out of the ancestral hall with his hands behind his back.

However, to his surprise, after visiting all the residents of the entire village, there was no such young woman in a flowered dress, which made the old village chief a little uneasy.

Tell Lu Yu about this, but only to see Lu Yu play with the two agate beads in his hand lightly, which his students picked up from the mountains, and saw that it was very good-looking and dedicated it to his own husband like a treasure, Lu Yu liked it very much, and played with it in his hands all the time.

"Don't panic the village chief, as the saying goes: Zi Bu is strange and confused, how can there be demons in a peaceful and prosperous world, although rest assured. For some reason, after listening to Lu Yu's words, his uneasy heart instantly settled down, and he had to repeatedly tell Lu Yu to be careful.
