Chapter 210: The Death of the Clansmen
When I entered the town, five or six old men and wives came out of their respective houses and greeted the old woman with Yi Yi Sirao.
"Hello Granny Xia, who are these people?"
"Whoever passes by, comes home...... Drink water and rest your feet"
"Oh...... If necessary, let Kiko ...... Come and get it."
"Okay, thanks first"
During the greetings, the group arrived at the courtyard of Granny Xia's house, and a middle-aged woman walked out of the house quickly, followed by a teenager about the same age as Momo.
"Mother, you're back"
"Qiu'er, serve tea to the guests, oh, forget it, let's pour water"
"Yes, please be seated."
Granny Xia also greeted, "Come, sit, sit down, Xizi, you go to the son, pick some apricots to eat"
"Okay, Grandma"
Momo finally saw that a boy about the same age as himself, with a long tiger head and tiger brain, but a pair of eyes containing a shining essence, suddenly came to the spirit, and took the initiative to greet the boy named Xizi, "Go! I'll go with you."
Xizi Yilin, I didn't expect Momo, who was dressed extraordinarily, to be so easy to get along with, and nodded with a high chest, "Okay...... Ah, go".
Seeing that the two teenagers were very close to each other, they jumped away together, and the big yellow dog followed with his tail wagging his tail, and Granny Xia's smiling face was wrinkled.
"This time...... My grandson...... It's time to be happy, alas! Five families, only one of them, suffocated."
Daughter-in-law Qiu'er brought water and beckoned, "Distinguished guests, please drink water, mother-in-law, this is your tea."
Seeing Mu Xiu's surprised eyes, Granny Xia opened her mouth to explain, "Everyone, this tea ...... It's very bitter, I'm afraid that you won't get used to it, so I'll give it to you...... Prepare the water".
Yiyi was curious, "I'll taste it, what kind of bitter method?"
Granny Xia smiled and asked her daughter-in-law Qiu'er to pour a cup, Yiyi picked up the cup, tasted it, and immediately spit it out, with a bitter look on her face.
"Wow, so bitter, so astringent, is this tea?"
Granny Xia sighed, "Alas, it used to be good tea, but it was all ruined and became the taste it is now."
Mu Xiu learned about some tea and hurriedly interjected, "Old sister, these six realms are the most famous tea...... It should be Yunya tea, this Yunya tea...... It comes from this Yunlong Mountain, the same climate, this tea...... How can there be such a difference?".
Granny Xia looked at the green tea soup in the tea bowl, her face was distressed, and she was sad and sad.
"Alas, a few people don't know, our Longyun tea in Yunlong Town was also ...... in the past Although the well-known good tea is not as good as the Yunya tea that is directly supplied to the emperor, there is also the old tea tree of Yunya...... Nine times out of ten, most of the gods of the court like it. Yunlong tea fed ...... But there are not only thousands of clansmen, but there are four or five streets full of merchants waiting to buy tea...... There were more than 2,000 people."
Yiyi frowned, "Mother-in-law, why is that ...... Will it become what it is now?".
"Alas, the catastrophe of the extermination of the Xiyue clan, the tea trees that let us settle down have not been spared, and the Hux clan has deliberately destroyed our tea garden here."
Yi Yi was puzzled, "Why? Don't they drink tea? Not to mention that they can feed a lot of people?"
Granny Xia's eyes were full of grief and indignation, "Of course they like it, because Yunlong tea is a good tea, many court gods like it, and the lord of the Huxu clan is afraid that the gods will think about it and think about it...... Take back this land from them, so they destroyed the tea plantation and broke everyone's thoughts of Yunlong tea, only in this way can the Xiyue clan feel down-to-earth."
After listening to it, he was filled with anger, "This lord of the country is really not a thing, cut me off ......."
Seeing that Yiyi was about to get out of control, Mu Xiu hurriedly interjected, "Old sister, I see that those tea trees, although they don't grow well, they are not dead, the same tree, the quality of tea ...... How did it change?".
"Oh, that's right, don't look at these tea trees, they are all descendants of the old tea tree in Yunya, and they use its branches...... Together with the wild tea tree, cultivated from generation to generation, the Jiuyang true fire ignited by the Hux, the root of the part of the old tea tree that is not heat-resistant, although the tea tree survived tenaciously, but the buds that emerged, only bitter tea remained."
Mu Xiu was disappointed, "Oh, so that's it."
Yiyi interjected, "Mother-in-law, if you connect the old tea tree of Yunya and the bitter tea tree, you can grow good Yunlong tea, and the bitter tea trees are all there, and then find the branches of the old tea tree of Yunya, and then pick them up, isn't it?"
Looking at the sincere simplicity on her face, Granny Xia smiled, "Childe, how can it be like yours...... There is only one old tea tree in Yunya, and the annual tea ...... It is only seven or eight catties, it is the emperor's special tea, which is strictly protected and popular...... Who dares to fight the idea of the old tea tree in Yunya? Even if you have a heart, you can't get in, how can you get the branches?".
Yiyi thought for a while, and then asked, "No, that is...... How did you get it?".
Qiu'er interjected, "The old tea tree in Yunya has to be repaired once every ten years, and my father-in-law used to prune it, so he could take the pruned branches back and connect them to some bitter tea trees, and after nearly 20,000 years, it took nearly 20,000 years to have the current scale of the tea garden."
Yiyi asked again: "If there is a branch of the old tea tree in Yunya, will anyone still pick it up?"
Qiu'er leaned her head and said in a depressed mood: "Yes, my husband will, but he ......."
"What's wrong with him?"
Granny Xia saw that her daughter-in-law Qiu'er's eyes were red, she lowered her head and didn't say anything, sighed, and replied: "Alas! Don't hide it, my son, leave us old and young, the day before yesterday, he ran away from home."
Qiu'er shouted with mixed emotions, "Mother, don't be like that."
Seeing Granny Xia wiping away her tears with her sleeve, Mu Xiu interjected, "Old sister, you ...... No, we might ...... Can you help?".
Granny Xia stabilized her mood for a while, and then spoke, "Alas! It's all my old immortal...... Dragged down the children, our family was in court...... It's a good place to live, but I can't bear to be an old ghost...... I slept alone in the tea garden, and I wanted to come back to accompany him, but my son and daughter-in-law were not at ease, so they came with him."
"Mother!"
"Qiu'er, don't interject"
"We came back to know, it's really difficult, the tea garden is ruined, and there is no livelihood to make a living, it's sitting and eating the mountain, my son listens, the Xiyue clan has rebuilt the capital in Yongding City, and there is a shortage of manpower, so they are clamoring to be a soldier, there are old and low, to do the dangerous thing of licking the blood with the knife, I don't agree, if he dies, we will be a mother...... Yesterday, before dawn, my son ran away."
Qiu'er retorted with red eyes, "Mother, Ah Ming and we have all discussed, it's not a sneak run, the Xiyue clan hires people on the front line, and they don't go, when will they be able to get back the lost land? When will they be able to live again...... The good old days? Again, go there...... And there is an income".
Granny Xia glared at her daughter-in-law Qiu'er, "You just defend him, if he loses his life, what will you do?"
"No, Ah Ming, Fu Da has a great life", Qiu'er finished, tears flowed out, and she turned her head and walked back to the house quickly
Yiyi's tears rushed out, her own people all had this realization, she had to do something for them, she stood up and walked out of the courtyard, not wanting people to see her tears.
Still seeing Yiyi crying, Granny Xia felt very strange, turned her head and asked Mu Xiu, "Big sister, your son...... What's wrong?".
Mu Xiu hurriedly sloppy eyes, "Oh, my son...... I have been sensitive from the beginning, and I can't listen to it...... Misfortune".
Granny Xia looked at the back of her eyes inexplicably, and replied, "Oh, Childe, what a bodhisattva's heart, there will definitely be a good reward."
Mu Xiu smiled awkwardly, "Borrow the old sister's auspicious words, old sister, there is something to ask for, we are here with you, can we spend the night here?"
Heavy plough sat alone on a stone in the courtyard, drinking the wine he had brought with him. Qiu'er's sentence of front-line employment, so that the heavy plough is like an arrow, a good man is fighting bloodily on the front line, his own strength, but accompanying the princess everywhere Mother-in-law, he is extremely depressed, with a black line on his face.
Granny Xia hurriedly answered, "It's not troublesome, it's not troublesome, at first glance, I feel that I have lost my temper with my eldest sister, and it's rare for someone to come, we can't ask for it." At night, talk to your wife, don't be awkward all the time, you see, if he is sick, it is not you who suffers?
Glancing at the heavy plough that was feeling sad, Mu Xiu smiled wryly, and promised, "Okay, it's up to the old sister."
