Chapter 136 Chapter Nineteen

What Lin Tu wanted to say was exactly what I didn't want to hear.From the very beginning, Lin Tu told me in the hospital that the things to be said involved a wide range of aspects, even including the issue of my surname.I had expected that the Lu family also had a disgraceful past. After all, every family has an unknown past, and those pasts have a lot of helplessness, which is difficult to measure morally. Not only Lin Tu and I are present here, but also Mu Qingxiang and Li Xiaobei. This is another reason why I don't want to hear about it.After Mu Qingxiang found out, would she have other opinions about me? Li Xiaobei is still a stranger to me. If he listened to it, he might spread it everywhere and ruin my reputation.Even though I didn't want to, Lin Tu said it happily as if to retaliate, and all the coercion I had just now was gone.

As I expected, Lin Tu opened his mouth and said: "The Lu family used to be named Lu instead of Lu. It wasn't Zugelu, but Ear Lu, Lu Yu's Lu! Do you know why your Lu family changed your name? Since ancient times, Chinese family names are passed down from generation to generation, because you did something shameful, so you were forced to change your surname, and then ran away!" I only know that my grandfather was a teacher, and my grandfather also told us that our ancestors were all teachers.Because of the war, my grandfather closed the private school in Tianmen City, Hubei, and went to Yunnan alone.Although these are words passed down from the previous generation and may not be true, I still choose to believe in my grandfather.After all, Lin Tu is an old man, who knows what he said is true, maybe he is just kidding me.

Immediately, I felt a little embarrassed. Fortunately, no one was entangled in this problem.After taking a sip of hot tea, I quickly changed the topic: "You took the third scripture from the desert, what exactly is it, can you show me?" Lin Tu said, "Didn't you already see it?" I asked confusedly, "When did you show me?" Lin Tu winked at me and asked me to look at Mu Qingxiang. After more than ten seconds, I realized that the leather map was the third scripture.If Lin Tu's handle hadn't fallen into the hands of others, I'm afraid he wouldn't show it so generously. No wonder he would go to the Lu family for clues.I frowned and thought, maybe Lin Tu mistook me for the letter writer, or else he wouldn't bother to talk to me.

At this time, Mu Qingxiang raised her head, handed me the leather map, and finally spoke: "Lu Jianxin, take a look at this map." I took it suspiciously. The map was drawn very simply, just like ancient maps, very difficult to understand.Mu Qingxiang studied it for a long time but didn't understand it, so I didn't bother with it, just glanced at it casually and gave it back to Mu Qingxiang.Li Xiaobei saw that we were almost finished talking, so he used the excuse of going to have a urinate, and ran out of the black pavilion before we could speak.Looking at Li Xiaobei's figure, I thought to myself that Mu Qingxiang is really an elm-headed person, and it's not good to look for someone, but someone who doesn't know anything about tea.

Mu Qingxiang saw what I was thinking, so she said: "I have known Li Xiaobei for eight years, don't make things difficult for him, he is a good man." "He's a good guy and I'm a bad guy?" I snorted. I thought that Mu Qingxiang would say nice things to me, but she answered very simply: "Yeah." I still don't understand the flamboyance of men, Li Xiaobei is a good person, Mu Qingxiang is usually so smart, how can she become so stupid now.Who told me that I have known Mu Qingxiang for less than two years, she thought I was a bad person, if I were a bad person, I would have sold her out long ago.I was thinking angrily, how could I know that Mu Qingxiang went on to tell Li Xiaobei that Li Xiaobei had been married for more than a year, and his wife was also six months pregnant.

I was taken aback, and quickly said: "Since you know, you still dare to sit with him. Are you afraid that his wife will come to your door?" As soon as I said this, my head got bigger. Mu Qingxiang was originally unreasonable in the world, and it would be a waste of effort to reason with her.Sure enough, without even thinking about it, Mu Qingxiang blurted out: "We are just friends, what other people think is their business." "My wife will trouble you, maybe she will call you a vixen." I said nervously. "No way!" Li Xiaobei stood behind me and came back at some point. He sat back on the stone bench and said to me with a smile, "Qingxiang met my wife, it was my wife who let me out, don't think about it .”

I was at a loss for words, and Lin Tu interjected at this moment: "I looked at that map for a long time but didn't understand it, but its edges showed signs of being cut. I'm sure someone took half of the map one step ahead of me." Mu Qingxiang nodded in agreement with Lin Tu, the map had been cut in half, so no matter how hard she looked at it, she couldn't understand it.I remember that it was mentioned in the gold sheet scriptures in the ancient city of Yuequan that the third scripture is related to the origin of the tea king.After the tea kings of all dynasties have seen it, they cannot take it out of the ancient city and must put it back in place.Could it be that one of these tea kings had dirty hands and feet, cut off half of it after seeing it, and left half so that the next tea king could not understand?

Lin Tu admitted that he didn't know who did it. From the perspective of cutting, it doesn't seem like it was done in recent years, it should have happened a long time ago.Mu Qingxiang woke up once in the ancient city. I don't know what year and month it was, but since Xiao Nongyun was able to capture Mu Qingxiang, it is very likely that someone took half of the map at that time.I murmured in my heart, this person can get the third copy of scriptures, why not take all of them, but keep half of them.If we encounter it in the future, we have to be careful, that person is definitely not a kind person.

Leather maps were drawn thousands of years ago, and the changes in the landscape may not be of much help to us now.The only thing that can be identified is that there is a mountain drawn on the map, and "Mengshan" is written next to it.There are five places in the world called Mount Meng, there is a county in Guangxi called Mount Meng, there is a mountain in Hubei called Mount Meng in ancient times, and three Mount Meng are located in Shanxi, Sichuan, and Shandong.Mu Qingxiang believes that the Mengshan Mountain on the leather map refers to the Mengshan Mountain in Sichuan, because the origin of tea is in Sichuan, and the tea ancestors also left their footprints in Sichuan Mengshan Mountain.

That night, Lin Tu didn't ask us to stay, and I didn't dare to stay at Lin's house, so I left with Mu Qingxiang and Li Xiaobei after Lin Tu left.Lin Tu had read and written down the map a long time ago, so he generously gave it to Mu Qingxiang.After Liao's second son returned to the hotel, he kept exclaiming when he heard what happened just now.I took the opportunity to ask Liao's second son if he had heard about the past of the Lu family and if he had done anything disgraceful.But Liao's second child knows less than I do. I asked him, and he asked me back. We stayed in Wuyi Mountain for another night, and our group headed north to Qingdao, and Li Xiaobei also followed along.I later learned that Li Xiaobei's family lives in Yongzhou, Hunan Province, and his family is engaged in the wine business. This trip was entirely his wife's idea.Li Xiaobei's wife had always remembered that Li Xiaobei's wife had always remembered that Mu Qingxiang had helped them when the liquor business of the Li family was hit hard, so Li Xiaobei was allowed to go out with peace of mind.

Mu Qingxiang recalled that in order to prevent wild beasts from approaching the mansion in the deep mountain, her aunt once designed obstacles for several miles around.Mu Qingxiang calculated that she would soon go to find that mansion in the deep mountains, without helpers by her side, she might not be able to get close to that mansion.That's why Mu Qingxiang asked Li Xiaobei for help, but it was obvious that she didn't trust me.With me here, I don't need to ask for any help. I am one against a hundred.But thinking about it carefully, Mu Qingxiang acted in a low-key manner, if it wasn't for the danger in the mountains, she wouldn't have been able to ask for help in person, she would have gone there by herself. It's a pity that we only have half a map, and my foot was injured again, so I can't move freely without recuperating for more than a month.Mu Qingxiang told me to recover from my injuries, she will not go to Mengshan for the time being, because there will be a north-south competition in a month, and she will help me win the first place.Li Xiaobei followed curiously, firstly to help, and secondly to open his eyes, and wanted to see what was going on with Ming Zhan so that he could go back and brag to his wife later. A few of us were sitting on the train, each having our own concerns, when Jiangxi old cousin Tang Dahai suddenly hummed a tea song in a low voice After the Qingming Festival passed the edge of the rain, I took up my burden and went to Fujian. Thinking of Fujian without going back, I climbed upstairs in the middle of the night. Three bundles of straw make a bed, and two fir logs make pillows. Thinking of Chong'an is really pitiful, half a bowl of pickled vegetables and half a bowl of salt. The tea goes down the mountain and leaves Jiangxi, and eating a bowl of green tea is better than chicken. It's really pitiful to pick tea, I don't have two nights of sleep for three nights. Eat cold food under the tea tree, and calculate wages next to the lamp. There are nine dragons on Wuyi Mountain, and ten Baotou are poor. Rely on hands when young and poor, and carry bamboo tubes when old and poor. Tang Dahai stuttered, but he didn't expect to sing fluently, which surprised me.That tea song was handed down in Jiangxi during the Qing Dynasty, and was sung by laborers who went to Wuyi Mountain to pick tea every year. I felt sad when I heard it.I think back then, how much my grandfather suffered so much to get the current scenery, but unfortunately, I didn't enjoy the good times for a few days, and I went west.When the train entered Nanchang Station, Tang Dahai got off the train, but he kept turning his head and smiling at us. Back in Qingdao, while I was recovering from my injuries, I was forced by Mu Qingxiang to practice tea.Li Xiaobei lived with us for a month, and I gradually felt that he was nice. At first, I really thought too much.It is said that people who work in the wine industry are forthright and loyal, and it is only now that I really realize it.Just when I stepped up my training for a month and my foot injury was almost healed, Liao Er Er brought us an amazing news. That day, I was applying medicine to my feet alone, when Liao's second child broke in and shouted, "Something happened! They are all dead!" "Who's dead?" I was taken aback. "All those who participated in the North-South Tea War, they are all dead!" Liao Er said excitedly. "Really or not? What's going on, how did they die?" I asked like this, but I thought in my heart, now that everyone is dead, then I have won without a fight. Elder Liao said with a sullen face: "Those people are all dying, at least that's what they say to the outside world. But I think it has something to do with what Mu Qingxiang said. Those people must have been hurt by tea without knowing it. .” I asked in horror, "Are you sure about this?" "Nonsense, I'm not sure I dare to tell you?" Liao Lao Er breathed out and said, "I don't want to die, I don't dare to drink tea now, Xiaolu, have you drunk recently?" I didn't have the time to talk about this, so I immediately put on my shoes to find Mu Qingxiang, and asked her what to do next.Now I win without a fight, free up a lot of time, my foot injury is almost healed, and I can go to Mengshan anytime.On the way, I felt sad in my heart. None of those tea people had suffered a lot. It would be great if I could save them sooner.These tea people died at the same time, Yang Chishan's conspiracy must have succeeded, if you don't act quickly, I'm afraid there will be more tea people who will go to the west without knowing it. Mu Qingxiang was not surprised by the news, it seemed reasonable, and she couldn't tell if she was sad.After our discussion, we have nothing to do in winter anyway, so we might as well take a trip to Mount Meng.Li Xiaobei can only stay outside for two months, and now one month has passed, so he also supports going to Mengshan immediately.Liao's second child is dying, so he is not suitable for crossing mountains and rivers. Moreover, Mu Qingxiang said with certainty that this trip will be the most dangerous one. After three days of preparation, we are about to leave for Mengshan Mountain in Sichuan, but I have been thinking about what Lin Tu said to me, so I really want to go back to my hometown in Tianmen to have a look.Mu Qingxiang and Li Xiaobei have no objection to this, maybe they want to go more than I do.Before I was about to leave, I went to the street alone to buy clothes and prepared two sets of jackets to avoid freezing in the mountains.On the way back, I ran into an old woman who was a fortune teller. She chased me and insisted on telling me a fortune, and said that she saw something wrong with my appearance. I was feeling bored, so I thought about it, let's see if the old woman is capable.The old woman pretended to be a ghost for a while, and finally her face changed drastically, and she said to me in a mournful voice: "Young man, are you going to go away in a few days? Don't go, you won't be able to come back, you will Those who die, those who go with them will also die!"
