Meet the Gentleman

Chapter 560 Who is disappearing...

March.

Although it was the time when the mountain flowers were in full bloom, it was also rainy and foggy, and the sky and the earth were shrouded in mist.

At this time, the Wushan Territory was like a thick fog, and the drizzle that was floating like smoke and fog was falling continuously, making it impossible to see the scenery several feet away.

At the foot of the lush green mountains.

Many Wu people, wearing brown straw raincoats, bent over and planted rice in the terraced fields.

On the mountain, there are patches of tender green tea trees. At this time, there are also many young witches wearing straw raincoats picking tea in the misty drizzle...

Although "The Classic of Tea" says: Do not pick tea on that day if it rains!
However, the tea season is short, and the Mingqian tea season only lasts a few days, so it is impossible not to pick any tea. This is also to prevent the tea buds from growing too big or getting old, so some Wu people will still pick them in the rain.

"An umbrella with flowers on both sides, saying that my wife is at that house."

"Tell my wife that's where it is, pack your food in a towel and go find her."

"You can't find the hand towel rice, so take your sweetheart instead."

At this time, a song with a clear and melodious voice came from the foggy tea mountain. When the song sounded, the dull world seemed to become lively all of a sudden, and many girls' laughter like silver bells came from the tea mountain.

"Who's singing in the front?"

On another foggy tea mountain, a clear female singing voice came: "Who is singing for fun up ahead? How many years and months have they been singing? Who is singing without leaving the room?"

"The former three masters made songs for singing, and the former Bao master made songs for playing. They made songs for three years and six months, and on the eighth day they made songs and did not leave the room."

The male voice responded.

Bursts of laughter could be heard from all around from time to time.

After a while, many men and women joined in the duet, and the cheerful folk songs echoed between heaven and earth, adding some color to the gloomy weather.

"Why don't you sing anymore, brother?"

The tea mountain was wet everywhere, with thick fog and drizzling rain. No one could be seen more than three meters away. A fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, wearing a straw hat and a raincoat, was picking tea leaves quickly while listening to folk songs. But as she listened, she realized that her brother had stopped singing.

"Brother?"

The girl had fair skin and was wearing a green top with a cross collar and a green pleated skirt. Although she turned her head to look, her hands did not stop.

She didn't think much about it and continued picking the young tea leaves.

Although the girl was in the rain and fog, her fingers were as sharp as peeled onion roots, her mouth was as red as red, and her steps were delicate and graceful, unparalleled in the world.

She is a rare beauty in the village, her name is Ajiu.

"Brother, I'll go back and spread the tea first." Not long after, Ajiu's backpack was full. Without waiting for his brother's response, he walked down the mountain carefully, ready to go home and spread the tea leaves to dry.

Tea picked on rainy days is called Yu Shui Qing, and the green leaves need to be spread out in time.

Although it is possible to artificially dehydrate the tea, the color and aroma of the tea produced by "Yu Shui Qing" will be affected to some extent...

But there is no way around it.

In less than half an hour, Ajiu returned to the village and saw many large and small stilt wooden buildings built against the mountain.

The structure is suspended in the air, combining the real and the imaginary, and is light and graceful.

Plop——

When Ajiu got home, she quickly put down her backpack, took off her raincoat, and went to spread tea. When she finished spreading the tea, she saw that the sky was terribly dark and it seemed to be late, so she did not go to pick tea anymore and went to prepare dinner for tonight.
A light drizzle suddenly started to fall slantingly and did not stop.

The fog didn't dissipate.

At some point, lights began to light up in the village and wisps of smoke rose up.

At this time, Ajiu had already cooked tonight's meal, but seeing that his brother had not come back for a long time, he came to the flying chair and leaned over to look around.

"Ajiu."

A small path not far away.

A young man wearing blue homespun clothes and a blue scarf, who was just coming back with a tea basket on his back, called out to Ajiu with a silly grin when he saw him leaning on the flying chair.

"Brother Xin, can you see my brother?"

Ajiu turned his head and said.

"Brother Abao, I didn't see him." The young man didn't dare to look at Ajiu, so he looked towards the tea mountain and said, "It's so late, Brother Abao hasn't come back yet?"

"Brother hasn't come back yet." After saying this, Ajiu went back to the house and went downstairs. He put on a straw raincoat and a hat, walked out of the door and walked along the path to the tea mountain.

"Where are you going, Ajiu?"

"Looking for my brother."

"Oh, be careful, the road is slippery when it rains..."

At this moment, Ajiu's figure gradually disappeared in the mist.

Not long after, Ajiu returned to the path leading to the tea mountain and saw that almost all the villagers who were planting rice on the terraced fields had returned home.

Only a few people were left working on the last seedlings.

"Brother-"

Ajiu shouted as he walked.

But there was no response from the tea mountain, which made Ajiu a little angry. He wondered where his brother had gone again.

"Uncle Shun? Can you see my brother?"

Ajiu walked up the muddy path and saw a path between tea trees in front of him. A middle-aged man wearing a straw raincoat walked down and he hurriedly asked.

"Ajiu."

After the middle-aged man in the straw raincoat came down and responded, he smiled and said, "When did you have a brother?"

"Uncle Shun, what are you talking about? I asked you if you have seen my brother." Jiu wrinkled his nose and shouted again: "Brother, go home for dinner."

"Aku?"

The middle-aged man in the straw raincoat looked at Ajiu in confusion, and it seemed that he was not joking, so he said: "When did you have a brother? What is your brother's name? How come Uncle Shun has never heard of him?"

"I've always had a brother."

Jiu frowned in displeasure, ignored Uncle Shun, and continued walking toward the tea mountain, shouting, "Brother——"

"Ajiu, it's getting dark and foggy. What are you looking for, brother? Go back quickly."

The middle-aged man in straw raincoat reminded.

But Ajiu ignored him, which made the middle-aged man in straw raincoat frown and think for a while. He looked at Ajiu and continued to go down the mountain. He came to the terraced fields below and saw people planting rice, so he shouted, "It's getting dark, let's go home."

"Quickly."

The Wumin who were planting rice responded.

"By the way, Ajiu said he was going to find his brother. When did Ajiu have a brother?"

The middle-aged man in straw raincoat said.

"What did you say? How come Jiu doesn't have a brother?"

The Wumin who was planting rice straightened up and said.

"is it?"

The middle-aged man in straw raincoat was stunned for a moment and said, "How come I don't know? What's her brother's name? Is he lost?"

"What? Isn't her brother just..."

Wu Min, who was planting rice, was stunned for a moment. He suddenly forgot Brother Ajiu's name, and the image of Brother Ajiu gradually faded from his mind. He then asked the people around him, "Yes, what is Brother Ajiu's name?"

"Does Ajiu have a brother?"

"Yes, I have."

"what is it call?"

"Eh, I can't remember for the moment... Oh, it seems not, Ajiu seems to be alone." A witch was a little confused and said, "Strange, why do I feel that Ajiu has a brother, it feels like I have seen him before..."

At this time, the existence of Ajiu Axiong gradually disappeared from their minds.

And on the tea mountain.

The girl Ajiu is still looking for her brother, but she has not found him yet, and more and more people are saying that she has no brother...
