Chapter 25 Under the Tea Mountain
In late March, the weather in Linglong Lake is still cold in the morning and evening, and it is only hotter at noon on a sunny day.
It was only in the past two days that mountain people entered the tea garden and tried to pick it.
There are still a few days left to pick tea with a real large amount of labor.
Moreover, at this time, various poisonous insects in the forest have not yet begun to make a fortune, so Du Yi dared to take them to the foot of Mawangye Mountain under the Linfeng Mountain Road.
In order to enter the mountain this time, Li Yongqiang prepared a shovel and sickle from his third uncle.
Seeing the two men and three women opening their respective mountaineering bags, taking out their rain boots and one-piece protective suits, Du Yi began to sigh.
“It’s so expensive!”
On the contrary, Zhou Qian and the other three were not prepared. Obviously, when they came before, Zhou Qian did not think about going to Mount Mawangye.
"Crazy~"
Li Ergou, who went home to get the bamboo basket, carried two bamboo baskets, a sickle, and a short sword inserted by Du Yi on his kitchen door panel.
Run back.
He shouted with lingering fear on his face: "Brother Yi, you slept in the kitchen last night and the door was changed outside. The big snake is really in your room? You were so brave last night, and you are not afraid that it will swallow you!"
"Big Snake?"
"Big Snake!"
I was worried about this all the way, and from time to time I thought of Du Miaomiao, the big python by the water, Zhao Yichen was so scared that he screamed.
"What nonsense is there? How can you see it with your own eyes?"
Since Du Yi decided to live in Tou Qu, he had to give Zhou Qian the reason to force him to move to Erqu.
He quickly gave Li Ergou a "familiar" look and asked him to shut up.
"Oh, I haven't seen you."
Li Ergou was quite dissatisfied.
Because no one comes to this song at all, where does the old Taoist come from?
And according to the shape of the road and the crawling grass, this is the python path crushed by a big python.
However, Li Ergou didn't understand the look of Du Yi playing naughty with him back then, and he made him lie.
But I still cooperated and changed the topic.
"Brother Yi, there are so many bird feathers in front of your door, starlings, magpies, pheasants, kingfishers——"
"Ahem,"
Du Yi gave Li Ergou another "familiar" look.
“Oh~”
Can't this be said?
Li Ergou was still trembling with fear at this time. He was almost scared to death when he was climbing over the wall to get a bamboo basket and sickle.
It was only because it was Du Yi's explanation that he endured his fear and completed it.
At this time, you have to find something in your mouth and say it out loud to overcome the horror in his heart.
He opened his mouth and continued, "Brother Yi, you have diarrhea? It smells so smelly. I can smell it even when I enter my yard."
Suddenly, Du Yi's face turned red.
"Puchi~"
When Du Miaomiao and Zhao Yichen heard the fool say that he didn't see the big snake, he immediately recovered his blood.
As for many feathers.
There are many birds in the mountains and feathers are left everywhere. This is not a normal thing.
The point is to "so smelly".
It’s really fat pigs have a lot of feces and urine, and they are extremely unhygienic!
"Brother Yi, give it."
Li Ergou handed the dagger to Du Yi.
Xia Zi and Xu Dongqing all looked at the dagger.
——
“Wow~”
A group of eleven people advanced on the mountain road.
This mountain road leading to ancient tea at the foot of Mawangye Mountain was the witch Li who drank tea all year round before, and the tea ceremony was always repaired and sorted by Li Ergou.
Only four years ago, the witch Li Jiahe and Li Ergou moved to Erqu.
Only then is it truly abandoned.
And most of the journey was on the naked rocks and gravel.
So it's not difficult to walk.
Along the way, except for some birds being alarmed, the pine trees rushing up to the big trees, and wild bees buzzing to hunt and collect honey, but no snake was seen.
After walking back and forth for more than half an hour, I finally arrived at the foot of Mawang Mountain.
A large area of sparse bushes spread along the foot of the mountain, spreading among the rugged rocks.
Tea trees, chestnut trees, birch trees, river willow trees, honeysuckle trees,—
Wild grass, vines.
Between the cracks of rocks, they struggled and stubbornly.
Many wooden trunks are connected to various rocks.
"There are many snakes here, bamboo leaves and green in the five-step red chain snake, scorpion, centipede, wild bee, and marten, and they bite even if they are shocked; - Be careful."
Li Ergou thought it was very common to remind him that Du Miaomiao, Zhao Yichen, Lu Tao, and Li Yongqiang were very scared.
Fortunately, the mask covered their white faces.
"Let's pick some on the side and be careful. For so much wild tea, pull two pieces of soil and bring them to the town before processing."
When Li Yongqiang heard that this place was so dangerous, he didn't want to stay for a moment.
"These wild teas are all seedlings, and those plants should be almost a hundred years old. In this difficult situation, I don't know if the content of its catechins and various substances will be abnormal to the tea leaves of Siqu."
Xia Zi's eyes turned to the cliff of Mawangye Mountain.
You can see more than a dozen old tea trees growing on the cliffs.
Frowning and looking at Du Yi: "Is there a shortcut?"
"You can only hang up the mountaineering rope. There are all rocks under it, and you will hang it if you fall down."
In fact, the reason why Li Yongqiang's third uncle did not mention these with Li Yongqiang and did not prepare them for climbing tools was obviously because he was afraid that if their students and children were violent and would encounter danger in climbing the mountain.
"Then just pull up a few tea trees, and then cut off one old tea."
Lu Tao gave up.
Du Yi and Zhou Qian both frowned.
Just about to speak against it.
Xia Zi said directly and refused: "It is okay to pull out two tea trees for ten years. No matter how big it is, don't move their trunks. Cut some small branches."
"Okay, okay, just do what you say; but these wild teas are really not good to drink, and the wild varieties are too bad. I drank them twice when I was a child, and they are incomparable to Siqu’s tea. In fact, they are just wild trees and have no value."
"Sheep~"
Li Yongqiang was talking when he saw Xia Zi suddenly unzipping her protective suit.
He asked in surprise: "Xia Zi?"
Xia Zi quickly took off her rain boots and protective suit, changed into her hiking boots, and put on her hiking gloves.
Then she wrapped her trouser legs and cuffs tightly with thick canvas strips.
He smiled and said, "I can't do it if it's too tall, but I have to pick these three trees below."
"No, it's too dangerous!"
Li Yongqiang was a little anxious, and this was another way to show love.
“I’m the team leader,”
"That's not OK!"
Li Yongqiang said it firmly.
Xia Zi glanced at Li Yongqiang gently, her eyes becoming sharp and cold.
Just like the scalpel she used to dissect lake fish in the early morning.
Seeing this made Liu Yongqiang feel terrified and he didn't dare to speak more, but he couldn't help saying: "Be careful and be careful."
"hehe."
Zhao Yichen next to him chuckled.
"man!"
Jiang Daier's voice was filled with disdain.
"Li Yongqiang, if you really care about Xia Zi, you can go up."
Du Miaomiao had long been disgusted with Li Yongqiang's bad money. She always pretended to be in front of Lu Tao, and couldn't help but stimulate Li Yongqiang.
Li Yongqiang's face turned red and white, but he was embarrassed but he didn't have the courage to speak up and climb the mountain.
"You go to Mawangyan and wait, it's safe; Gouzi, take them there."
In fact, Du Yi wanted to stammer Zhou Qian.
However, if Zhou Qian was asked to lead the way, he would be afraid of encountering snakes and insects, so he would let Li Ergou, who had a strong survivability in the mountains, lead him.
"I pick tea, and the tea I pick myself will taste fragrant when I drink it."
Zhou Qian was unwilling to leave.
"This broken tea, Qianqian, you like to drink tea. I will send you dozens of kilograms tomorrow, which is guaranteed to be better than this."
Han Yue on the other side is also mean.
While speaking,
Under the leadership of Li Ergou, Li Yongqiang and the other two walked towards a huge rock to the west.
Xia Zi, wearing a sportswear, was like a beautiful elf, jumping on the rocks and heading straight to the foot of the mountain.
Du Yi and Zhou Qian pick tea on the edge of the rocky belt.
Xu Dongqing stood bored on a big stone, looking at the lake and mountains in the north from afar.
Han Yue stood alone, thought for a while, then licked her face and said, "Qianqian, let's pick tea together, I picked it absolutely delicious."
Du Yi looked at Han Yue, the second-generation young man, indifferently.
Scolding in my heart,
Chapter completed!
