Chapter 26 Chapter 25 The oldest tea tree king

The people in the village fell into a coma, and we argued loudly and brazenly, forgetting about Xiao Hei who was in a daze.The purpose of our coming to Manlong Village has been kept secret, and we have never mentioned to anyone that we came to find the pumpkin head tribute tea, so this is the first time we talked about it in front of the people in Manlong Village.What we didn't expect was that an unintentional mistake made the whereabouts of the pumpkin head tribute tea come to the surface, and the person who knew the whereabouts of this kind of tea was actually the inconspicuous Xiao Hei.

We searched for a few days, but had no clue, so we were surprised and asked repeatedly: "Is this true? Are you right? Do you really know the whereabouts of the tea with the head of the pumpkin? Is it the group that attacked the Qing Palace? It was robbed by the bandits. that batch?" Xiao Hei was dumbfounded by our question, and he who was swearing at first became uncertain: "I don't know if it is true, I just heard my father say..." "Your dad said it? Does he know where the pumpkin head tribute tea is? Is it at your house?" Liao's second son was very excited.

Zhao Shuai had seen the big scene, even though he was excited, he could still hold his breath: "Old man Liao, look at your greedy look, you are not afraid to frighten Xiao Hei, and he will not tell us...isn't it, Blackie?" I said to Xiao Hei unhurriedly: "Don't be afraid, we're just asking, if you can find it, just ask for a price. Or tell me what you want." Xiao Hei's eyes lit up, it was obvious that my words had touched his heart, if he asked for a million and eight hundred thousand, where would I find him.We held our breath for fear that Xiaohei would ask for a lot of money, but the pumpkin head tribute tea is indeed worth that price. If it is really preserved properly, several million yuan is indispensable.Xiao Hei thought seriously, as if he was judging the price, which made me very nervous. I didn't expect that a pure boy in the mountains would be defeated by the temptation of money.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Hei's answer surprised us all, probably no one would have thought that Xiao Hei would make such a request.I thought that Xiao Hei wanted gold, silver and jewels, but I didn't expect that this little devil didn't love money and beauty, and threatened that we should match him and Li Xiuzhu.I lamented that young people are awesome, and I want a woman at the age of 15. I think that when I was 15 years old, I only knew how to read comic books, and I didn’t even go to peep at girls taking a shower.Xiao Hei shyly said that he liked Li Xiuzhu very much, and he has always liked Li Xiuzhu since he was a child.Now Li Xiuzhu is back, he has grown up, and we are Li Xiuzhu's friends, so he wants to ask us for help.

I admired Xiao Hei, and said with emotion: "This job is not ordinary, Li Xiu...Your elder sister Li has seen too many men, I guess her vision is a little... a little high, it depends on how she does it." Thinking about it, you can't force things about your feelings, your father..." I spoke so fast that I almost slipped my tongue, almost saying that Xiao Hei's father and his mother were married after dating for a month.These two people haven't gotten to know each other at all, and they will die and go crazy after a year of marriage, and their children will also be affected.However, I don't know if Xiao Hei is clear about this matter, so I dare not speak out in front of Xiao Hei.I'm afraid that Li Xiuzhu won't marry Xiao Hei. After all, Li Xiuzhu has met so many rich people in Beijing, and no one can meet the conditions she offers.

"That's not necessarily true. Li Xiuzhu has hated men outside for a long time. Maybe she likes this kind of simple guy." Zhao Shuai was sure about this, completely ignoring my doubts, and he continued, "Don't worry, Bao From me, I have already seen that your sister Li also likes you." "Really?" Xiao Hei asked expectantly. Liao Lao Er couldn't wait any longer, and answered for us: "Of course, tell me quickly, where is the pumpkin head tea?" Hearing our guarantee, Xiao Hei was elated, and the tension just now disappeared, and he said cheerfully: "The pumpkin head tea is in our village, and you have already been to that place."

I looked at Xiao Hei unexpectedly, he said that the pumpkin head tea is in Manlong Village, and we have been to the place where the tea is stored, but we didn't notice it at all.Xiao Hei didn't give a shit, he told us that the pumpkin head tribute tea is at Li Xiuzhu's house!Even if we have a hundred heads, we can't imagine that the precious pumpkin tea is actually in Li's house. It's really hard to find it!However, Li Xiuzhu has been away for many years, and there are only Li's father and Li's mother at home. Where did they get the national treasure tea? After hearing this, Xiao Hei patiently explained that because he had a special affection for Li Xiuzhu since he was a child, Xiao Hei has been helping to take care of the Li family after Li Xiuzhu left the village.The two of the Li family were always very kind to Xiao Hei, and it was precisely because they were so kind to Xiao Hei that they had seen a ball of golden yellow tea leaves that looked like human heads with Xiao Hei.The people in the village are all tea growers, so they naturally have some knowledge about tea, so Xiao Hei soon knew that those were the pumpkin head tea that attacked the Qing palace.

As for how those tea leaves were opened, Xiao Hei didn't know, the Li family only took out them three times, and brewed them for Xiao Hei to taste.The Li family was always unprepared against Xiao Hei, so Xiao Hei saw with his own eyes that the Li family always took out the gourd head tribute tea from a black wooden box, and that box was still in the Li family. "My ancestors, I'm finally going to find them." I shouted in my heart, but I was curious whether the pumpkin head tea from Li's family was from the same batch as the ones my grandfather discovered. Zhao Shuai and Liao Lao Er pushed Xiao Hei out of the house, and I hurriedly followed, fearing that the two people in front would swallow the pumpkin head tea for themselves.In the dark night, the four of us were walking through the ancient stockade, but we didn't expect to see the road full of tea leaves on the way.These tea leaves were transported to the city for sale by Lao Wang, who was playing a prank and poured the tea leaves on the road, if Lao Wang found out, I don't know how distressed he would be.It's a pity that we only want to find pumpkin head tea now, so we don't bother to pay attention to the pile of tea leaves on the road and go straight to Li's house.

The lights in Li's house are dimmer than other houses. I felt this way the first night I came to Li's house. I don't know if it's because Li's father smoked too much and dirty the light bulbs.The gate of Li's house is unlocked, and we went in to see it before. Li Xiuzhu is now sleeping on the bed, her charming appearance makes people itch.However, just as we entered Li's house, we saw a dark shadow walking around the house.When Heiying found someone entering, he immediately carried Li Xiuzhu on his back and fled to the back door, and disappeared in a short while.

None of us chased after it, and we all went to find the black wooden box tacitly, but the weather was not good, the black wooden box had been opened, and the inside was empty, and the pumpkin head tea had disappeared! "Damn it, that person must have stolen it just now. It's nothing more than robbery. How dare you grab tea from me!?" Zhao Shuai was furious. "Hurry up, he's carrying a person on his back, so he won't be able to escape far!" Liao Er Er commanded, but his legs and feet were not flexible, and instead he staggered behind alone. When we came out of the back door of Li's house, we saw a forest of different heights in front of us. When the night wind blew, the forest seemed to be dancing.Standing at the back door of Li’s house, the scene of the first night here came back to my mind—a young man pointed at Li’s house and cursed that the people inside were not relatives, Li’s mother died in the pit, and Li’s father had a seizure.Not allowing me to think too much, Xiao Hei said that in the forest behind Li’s house, there is a forest in the forest—a wild ancient tea forest. In the ancient tea forest, there is the oldest tea tree king in the world, which has lived for 3,500 years. .

Before I came to Menghai, I heard people say that the cultivated tea tree king had a history of more than 800 years and lived on Nannuo Mountain in Menghai.The wild tea tree king is in Fengqing County, Yunnan. The tea tree is said to have lived for 3,200 years.Therefore, I question Xiao Hei, don't blow the cannon, your eldest brother and I are educated people. Liao Lao Er came to Xiao Hei's rescue. He said that was the official statement. Sometimes the biggest, oldest, most beautiful, and longest places in a certain place have political significance, because those places are easy to develop into tourist attractions.If a place like Manlong Village is to be developed into a tourist attraction, it will cost too much manpower and material resources, and it may not be able to recover the cost for decades, so even if there is the oldest tea tree king, people will Put your name elsewhere.As I write this, I suddenly think of Zhou Huhu and Cao Cao's tomb. In fact, these are things that the common people don't understand, and many things cannot be explained by common sense. Zhao Shuai agreed with Liao Laoer's opinion. He said that when someone proves that the tea tree king in Manlong Village is the oldest, he can excuse that he hadn't found it at that time, and now he doesn't need to pay attention to the tea tree king in the forest.But I don't feel regretful. Because it has not been developed by outsiders, the oldest tea tree king in the world can grow quietly in the fresh forest without being disturbed by others.Of course, we are not standing outside the forest chatting foolishly. When it comes to this, we have already entered the forest in the forest, and we can vaguely see the oldest tea tree king. Liao Lao Er had an inexplicable devotion to tea. When he saw the oldest tea tree king, he wanted to pay homage to him, regardless of the fact that the pumpkin head tea had been taken away.Heiying carried Li Xiuzhu into the ancient tea forest, and I picked up Liao Er Er who was about to kneel down and chased into the forest. When I looked up, Zhao Shuai and Xiao Hei had already run more than ten meters away.Xiao Hei saw his sweetheart being snatched away, his heart was filled with jealousy, and he rushed to the front, like a leopard. "Ouch, Xiaolu, you run first, if you run any further, I will lose my old life." Second Liao waved his hands away and insisted on stopping. Seeing that the distance between us and Zhao Shuai and Xiao Hei was gradually widening, I was afraid that they would be in danger, but the second brother Liao really couldn't run anymore, so I asked the second brother Liao to rest where he was and wait for his strength to recover before catching up.Liao Lao Er readily agreed, I told him to be careful, and then turned around to chase after him.Unexpectedly, when I turned my head, I saw a person. I was so scared that I almost peed my pants. It took a long time to find out that this person was Mu Qingxiang. "I said, can you walk more quietly, don't always be scary, okay?" I gasped. When Liao Laoer saw Mu Qingxiang, he panicked. He hid behind me, not daring to look directly at Mu Qingxiang.Mu Qingxiang's eyes were fearless, she kept looking at me, she said calmly, "Don't go there, there is danger there." "What danger can there be?" I didn't think so, "There are so many of us, are we still afraid of the villain who snatched Li Xiuzhu?" "I've already told you, it's up to you whether you go or not." Mu Qingxiang replied indifferently, she turned around and was about to leave, before she left, she said: "Remember, never go back to Manlong Village. " I wanted to ask Mu Qingxiang what kind of disaster happened in Manlong Village and why I couldn't go back.However, before I had time to ask Mu Qingxiang, I felt a flickering red light behind me.Looking back, my mother, the oldest tea tree king was on fire, and the fire was fierce, and the flames rushed to the main tree trunk in an instant.The tea tree king was fine just now, how could a fire be ignited all of a sudden, what happened in the ancient tea forest? !
