Chapter 840 Finding an Old Tea Farmer
Han Bing said that the Han family is very powerful. Although Han Batian seldom walks outside now, everyone outside has to give Han Batian face. In addition, Han Batian also has some friends in S City.
"Are you so confident?"
"Of course, but under the prerequisite conditions, you can only grow tea. It's hard for a smart woman to cook without rice. You can't let me open my mouth, just talk there."
Xiao Yi heard that Han Bing was so confident, and now he had confidence in his heart. Since he knew that this matter was indeed very profitable, he would try to open up the tea market.
Driving all the way to the southwest, what I saw at first were high-rise buildings, followed by patches of hungry plains, where the rice planted inside was growing ears of rice.
An ear of rice can still stand up straight now, but when the rice inside is full, it will be bent over. People who grow rice like to see this kind of scene most.
Driving through this plain, hills and symbolic red soil appeared in front of him. This is the best soil for growing tea. As soon as he arrived at the foot of the hill, Xiao Yi saw that there were trees planted on the hill. tea tree.
The women carried a bamboo basket on their backs, and with a pair of dexterous hands, picked the leaves of the tea tree that could be picked from the tea tree and put them into the bamboo basket.
When the tea leaves inside are almost full, they agree to pour them in one place, and then continue to pick tea leaves. The tea farmers have passed on this business from generation to generation.
After entering the hill, there are still ten minutes away from the tea garden of the old tea farmer. On the hill in front, there is a layer of cloud and mist, like a fairyland on earth, covering this emerald green hill.
After driving forward for more than ten minutes, there was a turning intersection on the road ahead. Han Bing asked Xiao Yi to make a turn from here, turning into the foot of a hill.
It has just rained here recently, the road is a bit muddy, and the wheels are a little slippery. Fortunately, the situation is not too serious. After Xiao Yi drove for more than a hundred meters, a house appeared in front of him.
"It's here."
Han Bing pointed to the house in front and said that Han Batian had been to this place once. According to what his father said, Han Bing and Xiao Yi found the place where the old tea farmer lived.
"It's a bit too dangerous to live in this kind of place, right?"
Xiao Yi raised his head and looked, there were hills on both sides, and in the middle, several houses were built with stone chips and bricks, a log was planted in the ground, and a wire was strung on it.
In this kind of place, electricity is the most difficult. During the rainy season, the rain washes away the hills and knocks down the wires, and this area will fall into a state of power outage.
It took a long time for the wires to be repaired. People are already used to this kind of life, and there is nothing wrong with it.
What made Xiao Yi a little worried was that these houses were built in the middle of the hill. Once there was a heavy rain, if the rainwater gathered from both sides of the hill, how could the houses withstand it.
"Let's go over and see if the old tea grower is there."
Han Bing said that when Xiao Yi and Han Bing continued to walk forward, they found a car parked in front, which was a BMW with a local license plate.
People who can afford this kind of car are naturally not easy, Xiao Yi saw some messy footprints on the ground, so he said at this moment.
"It seems that no one is interested in tea gardens, someone is ahead of us."
"Xiao Yi, how can you be sure that this is to see the tea garden? Maybe someone the old tea farmer knows."
After Xiao Yi saw the footprints on the ground, he was sure that the people in the car were also heading for the tea garden.
"If it's a friend of the old tea farmer, it won't happen that he doesn't show up now, and the old tea farmer is no longer there. Now he must be in the tea garden."
Xiao Yi said that no one in the room noticed that he and Han Bing made such a big noise after they arrived, which only means that there was no one in the room.
"Okay, then let's go and have a look as well, we just don't know where this tea garden is."
Han Bing said that the huge hill is full of emerald green colors, and there are other people's tea gardens. It is not easy to find that old tea farmer.
"Let's go up first. Since it is tea, it is impossible to grow it in this kind of place."
Xiao Yi said, looking at the footprints left on the ground, he knew that these people were heading in the direction of Zhengnan. As for where they went, he still doesn't know.
So Han Bing and Xiao Yi walked in this direction first to see if they could meet the old tea farmer. After walking for a few minutes, Xiao Yi pricked up his ears and heard something else.
At this moment, Xiao Yi stopped and listened carefully again. What he heard was correct, there was indeed movement.
"Xiao Yi...what's wrong?"
"Someone was crying, like a little girl."
Xiao Yi said, Han Bing frowned, thinking that Xiao Yi must have heard wrong, how could there be a little girl crying here.
"You may have heard it wrong, how could there be a little girl here, don't scare me."
"Don't worry, my ears will never make mistakes. Go ahead and have a look."
Xiao Yi believed in his hearing very much, and he had never made any mistakes. Now he heard a little girl crying again, and Xiao Yi listened to it twice to confirm.
So Han Bing had no choice but to continue walking forward with Xiao Yi. Slowly, Han Bing also heard this kind of crying. In this kind of place, he thought it might be haunted.
However, Han Bing was also a person from the military area, and he never believed in such ghosts, so she and Xiao Yi continued to walk forward for a few minutes.
In front of Han Bing and Xiao Yi, a girl with two braids was sitting on a rock and crying. Xiao Yi knew what he heard, so he stepped forward to see what happened. Condition.
"Kid, what are you doing here?"
Xiao Yi walked by and asked, this little girl was about seven or eight years old, and she was crying with snot and tears at the moment, and she was crying very sadly.
Xiao Yi noticed at this moment that the little girl was only wearing one shoe, the other shoe was gone somewhere, and one little foot was covered with red mud.
The clothes were obviously worn for a long time, and there were cuts on them. I don't know what happened before. At this time, Han Bing walked over from the side.
Han Bing was confused before and forgot one thing, that is, the old tea farmer is now living with his granddaughter, and the two of them live together. Not willing to buy a pair of shoes.
The granddaughter of the old tea farmer has been weak and sick since she was a child. She often goes to the hospital. The money from selling tea is basically used for her granddaughter's medical treatment. When looking at the little girl at this moment, Han Bing felt deeply moved.
