C75 Three Old Tea Trees

When everything was settled, He Linqing, led by Lu Chuankui, began to inspect the wild black tea within the mountain.

After circling the village, He Lin Qing discovered a phenomenon. Although most of those who stayed behind were middle-aged and old, they were all in good spirits when they saw them. There was no lack of white-haired old man among them.

He Linqing was surprised. "Uncle Lu, everyone in your village seems to have a long lifespan!"

Lu Chuankui chuckled. "Little He, you're right about that. Don't look at how poor we are in this remote area. There are indeed a lot of people who live a long life." Aren't you surprised? There was a lack of food and clothes in the mountain trenches, but he didn't know what was going on. Instead, his lifespan was rather long … "Hehe."

He Linqing continued to ask, "How long is the average life span of a person in your village?"

"Oh?" I don't know. No one has ever carefully calculated this. Anyway, it's very common to be over 90 years old. A lifespan of over 100 years isn't a rare occurrence. "You're just like that stubborn old man in our backyard. I'm afraid you'll be 110 this year. He can't even remember which year he was born …"

Listening to Lu Chuquan's rambling, He Linjing understood the gist of it. He thought to himself, "The people here have such longevity, could it be related to drinking black tea for a long time?" This really needs to be investigated in detail. "

He then changed the subject and continued to ask, "Uncle Lu, is there any history of growing black tea in our village?"

"What history is this? It's all wild." Oh right, don't mention it. There are three old tea trees in the back mountain. I'm afraid it will take more than 500 years. "According to the elders, the wild tea trees that filled the mountains and plains are the descendants of these three old tea trees. I wonder if those words are true …"

When people get older, they talk a lot. Especially an old man who had been deprived of his family and companion all year round. It was as if Lu ChuanKui had just opened his mouth as he chattered on and on.

When He Lin Qing heard that there were three old tea trees on the mountain, her interest was piqued. He immediately wanted to go over and take a look.

Lu Chuqui said, "It's too late today. Let's go tomorrow." Three old tea trees grew halfway up the cliff. Without a rope, it was impossible to go down. I'll find some people to go with you tomorrow. "

Hearing Lu Chuqui's explanation, He Lin Qing could only give up on the idea of going over immediately.

Early the next morning, after eating breakfast, He Linqing packed up her climbing equipment and urged Lu Qui to set off as soon as possible.

"Little He, there's no need to rush. The cliff over there was too steep for ordinary people to climb down. The only person who could leave the village now was a youth from the front yard — the monkey. "I called for him early in the morning. We'll go together later and get him to help you pick some black tea from the old tree."

Hearing Lu Chuqui's introduction, He Lin Qing became even more interested in the three old tea trees.

In the time it took to take a pack of cigarettes, a tall and thin young man led two young students to Lu Chuankui's house. Each of them had ropes draped over his shoulders. Looking at the thin, tall youth's appearance, He Linqing knew that he must be the "monkey" that Lu Chuankui had spoken of. Not to mention, he had a thin, tall build and long arms and legs. He was truly a monkey. "This looks quite worthy of his nickname.

As soon as the monkey entered, he mumbled, "Lu Po, three broken tea trees, what's there to look at? You just have to ask me to go. Who would dare to go down the back mountain? You even fell and killed people a few years ago, it's not like you don't know. "

Uncle Lu glared at the monkey and said: "Monkey, I don't even know what you're capable of. If others don't dare to go, how could you, Monkey, dare to? What are you blabbering about? My old man can't order you around, can he? "

Hearing this, Monkey scratched his head unnaturally and laughed. "I'm not refusing to go either. When have I ever dared to disobey your words!"

As He Lin Qing listened to their conversation, she felt that it was funny. There was really something out of place. The seemingly rebellious monkey was actually listening to Lu Chuankui's words. This also showed that Lu Chuankui had some authority in the village.

Without further ado, the group of five, with their equipment, headed towards the back of the mountain behind the village.

The mountain climate was humid and volatile. A red sun gradually rose, dispersing the dense fog in the mountain region. The morning dew had soaked her pants, but He Linqing did not care about that. She was completely immersed in the wild pleasures of the mountains.

The back of the mountain was not far from the Lu Family Village, and it took them about half an hour to reach their destination.

"This is the mountain behind the Lu Family Village …" Lu Chuankui took one foot on a rock by the side of the road, smoking two dry cigarettes as he spoke. The pipe never left his hand.

He Linqing examined the topography of the mountain behind her. It was indeed extremely steep. The cliffs were three thousand feet high and shrouded by clouds and mist, making it seem like a paradise on earth.

"Where are the three old tea trees, Uncle Lu? Why didn't I see it? " He Lin Qing asked doubtfully.

Lu ChuanKui pointed at the towering cliff. "Look, there are three old tea trees in the middle of the cliff."

When He Lin Qing heard this, he started to look down the cliff. "Little He, be careful. It's dangerous." In the time it took for a spark to fly off of a piece of flint, the sound of falling rocks could be heard.

So dangerous!

With just a glance, He Lin Qing felt dizzy and frightened.

At this time, Monkey walked over and advised, "Director He, it's really too dangerous. Why don't we just forget about it? Other than the three old tea trees below, there was nothing else. They were all bare stones. "There's really nothing to see."

"The more dangerous it is, the more it can rouse the fighting spirit of Young Master He." He had already come, how could he forget about it? I'm going down to see for myself. " After saying this, He Lin Qing opened her backpack and began to prepare.

"This …" Hearing these words, Lu Chuquan was at a loss for words. What? Little He, you want to go down there yourself? No, it's too dangerous. If I knew that you were going down personally, I wouldn't have brought you here. "

He Lin Qing laughed. "We're already here. How can I be willing if I don't go down and take a look?" Uncle Lu, don't worry, I have a strong body! "

"No, no matter what you say, you absolutely can't." Lu Qui still shook his head. "I think we should let the monkey go. I promise I'll bring you some tea leaves, okay?"

Monkey also came up to dissuade him, "Director He, it's really too dangerous. This is not something you rich kids can imagine. Or should I just listen to Uncle Lu? "

He Lin Qing did not stop what she was doing. She was carefully preparing for it. After selecting a large tree on the cliff, He Lin Qing did not hesitate to attach the cuckoo's climbing rope onto it. Then, he put on his protective glasses. He slid straight down the cliff.

Seeing that he was unable to stop He Linqing, Lu Chuqui quickly instructed Monkey. Quick, quick, follow them down. You must take good care of Little He's safety. "

Hearing this, Monkey did not dare to delay any further. He quickly tied the rope and followed He Lin Qing down.

Lu Chuqui was still very worried, so he instructed the other two youngsters, "Let's be more alert up there. If anything turns out to be wrong, we should quickly tighten the rope."

"Sigh!" Why are you so stubborn? With so much money, why would you take such a risk? " Lu Xun Kui sighed repeatedly.
