Chapter 8 Wild Tea

Author: Xia Mobifei

Several old men in the village gathered in the ancestral hall again.

Originally, women were not allowed to enter the ancestral hall.

But today is an exception.

After all, the matter to be discussed concerns the entire village, and they have the right to know.

Zhao Qing sat by the threshold of the ancestral hall and listened.

As for that fish.

The fish was pinched by her for a long time. It had been out of the water for too long and had difficulty breathing.

The fish opened its mouth again and again, and suddenly spit out a pearl to her.

The pearl is not big, but very round.

Seeing that the fish gave her a fish eye bead, Zhao Qing put the fish away with satisfaction. Now, she is still listening to the melon, and will send the fish back to the water later.

Although this fish eye is not big, it can repair rib injuries.

Her ribs were broken, but it didn't matter. This fish eye bead was enough to repair her body and make her completely healthy again.

That is to say, her body has been forged. If it were an ordinary person, she would be in bed at this moment and would not dare to run around.

Zhao Qing drew some water, cleaned the fish eye beads on his hands, and then stuffed them into his mouth.

As soon as the fish-eye beads entered her mouth, they quickly turned into water and rolled into her throat.

Feeling that the fish-eye beads in his body were repairing his ribs, Zhao Qing finally had the intention to listen to the conversation in the ancestral hall.

"How about this? How about we send the girl outside as an offering?"

She heard Zhao San suggest this.

This old man actually had his eye on her.

Did the melon fall on you?

"No, she is my savior, I will never allow you to do this."

This is Zhao Ling's voice.

Not bad, it’s quite a repayment of kindness.

"Besides, this is our village's business, not the outsiders' business."

Zhao Ling's voice became more and more angry.

"Third Uncle, you know in your heart whether He Bo exists or not. I have already said it before. It was the people in the town who were causing trouble. He Bo does not exist at all, but you just didn't listen."

"Zhao Ling, the price is too high, we can't afford the gamble."

An old man said earnestly, "How can we let go of a girl in the past three years, but there is no way, what if? If there is an accident, our three villages near Qinghu will be completely destroyed."

"Second uncle, there are fewer and fewer young girls in our village. After we send all these girls away, what will happen to the village? What will happen to the men in our village? Girls from outside dare not marry in."

"Zhao Ling is right, we can't give it away anymore."

Several older women also shouted.

"No big deal, no big deal, let's die together. I don't want to send my girl as a tribute."

"You are disrespectful to He Bo——"

Zhao San wanted to say more, but a stone suddenly flew over and hit him directly in the mouth.

His mouth became red and swollen instantly.

Zhao San: "?"

"Who? Who did it?"

Zhao Qing stood up and patted his clothes.

She strode into the ancestral hall.

"Hey, let me ask, where does this old man live now?"

"He lives in Tianfu Village now. Girl, why are you asking this?"

"As long as we find this person and ask him about the right and wrong, we will know." In Zhao Qing's opinion, all this is probably the fault of this old man.

"But, he——"

"It's okay, I'm here." Zhao Qing looked at Zhao Ling, "You saved me just now, you are my benefactor, and I naturally want to repay you."

What's more, she also needs to find a pure place to recuperate for a period of time.

Her body was poisoned.

Her spiritual power has collapsed and cannot be used normally. If she meets those who want to harm her now, she is probably no match for them.

She still needs to lurk for a while, wait until she refines the spirit-resolving elixir and regains her former strength, then she can go find those people to settle accounts.

"Girl, drink water."

Since there was a need to discuss matters concerning the whole village, some elderly women in the village took the initiative to boil tea and come over.

It's called tea, but it's just wild tea picked from the mountains.

Because it has not been fried, the taste of this tea is not very good, but it can refresh you.

Zhao Susu came over with a large bowl of water and handed it to Zhao Qing.

Zhao Qing took the water and smelled it first.

I didn't smell anything weird, so I drank it.

"Um--"

After taking a few sips, Zhao Qing raised his eyebrows, and his face became a little more confused.

"This tea?"

"I picked this from the back mountain. It's a crude tea."

Zhao Susu had a bit of embarrassment on her face.

In fact, their family could afford tea at the beginning, but after the flood, Tianlu Village was excluded by other villages. Therefore, the lives of the villagers in Tianlu Village went from bad to worse, and even their family became embarrassed.

She is fifteen years old this year.

Twelve years ago, she was three years old.

Although she was still young, she clearly remembered that their family had some spare money.

Her father is not only the village chief, but also the only carpenter in several nearby villages.

In the surrounding villages, any furniture or bamboo baskets they need will come to her father to make them.

But--

After the flood, no one from other villages came to visit him.

The people in the village would ask Dad for help, but Dad knew the situation of the people in the village best, so he was naturally embarrassed to accept the money, so he only asked them to prepare bamboo sticks and collect some things, just for the sake of it.

"This wild tea is good."

It is a rare spiritual creature.

Although the grade is not high.

But there are very few spiritual things in this world.

This family is lucky to have encountered this wild tea.

No wonder this family seems to have more energy than others.

Speaking of spiritual plants, Zhao Qing couldn't help but think of the spiritual plants she planted in her yard.

Without her spiritual liquid to water them, these spiritual plants would probably not do well.

Although she felt a little distressed, she would probably be even more embarrassed if Bai Saixue used her.

Fortunately, she saved a lot of seeds in her space.

I just don’t know if Bai Saixue understands——

"If the girl likes it, I will pack some for her. I don't have any others at home, but this wild tea is quite a lot."

When Zhao Qing said that the wild tea was good, a smile suddenly appeared on Zhao Susu's face.

She also thinks this wild tea is good, but almost all the guests who come to her home don't like the taste. It's rare to meet someone who has the same preferences as hers.

"Miss Susu, this wild tea can be sold for money."

Zhao Qing held Zhao Susu's hand as he wanted to refill her cup, "I'll give you a recipe later. You can fry this wild tea according to my recipe. One tael of tea can be sold for ten taels of silver, so it's not a problem."

"Twelve?"

Zhao Susu exclaimed, "How is that possible?"

This is just wild tea from the mountains.

"Why is it impossible? When buying and selling things, it naturally depends on how they are sold and who buys them. No matter how cheap something is, as long as it is sold properly, it can be sold at a good price. What's more, this is indeed a good thing."
