Chapter two hundred and eighty seventh return with a reward
"Huh... Mr. Hou, what's wrong with you? Why did you come here suddenly!" Xiaodong came to Xiao Han and asked, panting.
Xiao Han didn't make a sound, sitting quietly on the top of the mountain and looking down. From here, he could see the whole mountain more clearly.
The gentle breeze unique to spring blows by, and the fresh air is almost intoxicating.
My gaze slowly moved upward from the foot of the mountain.
At the foot of the mountain are mulberry trees arranged in an orderly manner, and on the mountainside they turn into clusters of tea trees.
Further up, it is right next to him. The place with the best sunshine and rain! Although it is now covered with weeds, Xiao Han knows that there are countless medicinal materials hidden underneath!
No wonder those rabbits are so fat, one weighs six or seven kilograms. It’s no wonder that they can avoid getting fat by eating these powerful and rare medicinal materials every day!
Looking at these hares that are not afraid of people at all, Xiao Han suddenly became angry: No! I want to catch them all and go back to make soup!
I once heard that someone ate pigs that drank milk every day, and chewed cows that listened to music every day! My friends are now eating rabbits that grew up by chewing ginseng every day! Let’s try who is the rich man!
I don’t know why Xiao Han, who was still studying the terrain just now, suddenly turned to eating...
Xiaodong watched Xiao Han sitting there silly and happy, and now he was not in a hurry. It seemed that he hadn't seen Mr. Hou daydreaming for a long time. He thought the problem was cured, but he didn't expect it happened again today. He turned back to alert
Old Wu made a gesture and sat down next to Xiao Han.
They have been together for too long, and he knows that once Mr. Hou becomes like this, he doesn't know how long it will take to return to normal! It is only right for him to take advantage of this time to rest. He was really too hasty to run just now!
The warm sun gradually moves westward.
I don't know how long it took, but Xiao Han, who had been feeling silly for a long time, finally let out a sigh of relief, his eyelashes moved, and his eyes slowly became brighter from being dull.
"Master Hou is awake?!"
Xiaodong, who was bored next to him and was about to take off his boots to cool off, was startled and quickly turned over, approaching Xiao Han and looking at him carefully.
"What are you looking at! You want to scare me to death!" As soon as he woke up, he saw a pair of beeping eyes rolling around in front of him. Xiao Han almost kicked Xiaodong out!
"Hey, Lord Marquis, you're awake!" Xiaodong didn't know that he was almost given a plane ticket just now, so he still came over and asked with a smile.
"Nonsense, I'm talking to you in my dream before I wake up!" He scolded Xiaodong angrily, and Xiao Han stood up slowly. Seeing that there were still some black spots in the mulberry forest at the foot of the mountain, they were still busy.
Suddenly asked Xiaodong: "Hey, how long have I been thinking about this matter?"
"Master Hou, I think it will take a stick of incense."
"One stick of incense time..."
Fortunately, not much time passed! He lowered his head and took another look at this treasure land, and Xiao Han strode down the mountain.
Yaoshan is relatively gentle, and I don’t know whether it was originally like this or someone deliberately built it like this. So going down the mountain is much easier than going up the mountain. It didn’t take long for Xiao Hanbian to reach the mountainside again.
Standing next to a tea tree, Xiao Han frowned and thought for a while, then sent Xiaodong down to call half of the auxiliary soldiers to prepare for picking tea leaves.
It is impossible to trace the history of drinking tea in China. The more convincing theory is that it began in the Shennong period.
If calculated this way, it would have taken more than three thousand years for tea to reach the Tang Dynasty.
But Xiao Han didn't expect that something that has been passed down for thousands of years can only be enjoyed by a few people!
The auxiliary soldiers who followed Xiaodong to Xiao Han's place had very few heard of it, let alone drank tea. Facing these leaves that were said to be quite precious, they didn't know what to do for a moment.
Looking at a lot of men looking at each other, Xiao Han felt helpless. He himself had only watched a few episodes of documentaries on TV, so it was not easy to know that the buds of the tea tree are treasures! As for whether the old leaves can be drunk, it is completely unknown.
have no idea.
But no matter what! It’s just something growing on a branch anyway, so it definitely won’t hurt anyone! Looking at this piece of tea tree, Xiao Han’s heart surged!
A few days ago, I was worried about the crowds of people in the city, but now I don’t have to. I drink a pot of tea every day to keep fit!
Pick a few smart-looking people to pick the young leaves? Leave the rest as you wish. Just leave half of the leaves on a tree! Pick up the rest and take them away!
Some people didn’t understand why they had to pick leaves from the tree at first. They were not mulberry leaves, and they couldn’t raise silkworms if they were picked back! Xiao Han didn’t bother to explain the magical effects of tea to them, he just told them that it was a medicinal material, and there were no questions at all.
Yes! Mr. Hou is a miracle doctor. Who dares not to believe that the miracle doctor said it was a medicinal material? Not to mention that Boss Lu looked at the person who asked the question in the first place fiercely, as if he wanted to eat him alive.
Today’s harvest was so great! Even when it was time to return to the city at the end, I didn’t even finish collecting the loot.
It's okay to say that tea leaves are such a big bag. If you are strong enough, you can put them on your shoulders and resist being carried away! But mulberries are troublesome. They can't be put in the bag and can only be placed flat on the bag. Otherwise, they will be able to put them on their own.
Make your own juice...
Of course, Xiao Han couldn't be bothered by this little thing. At the worst, he could just make a stretcher and carry him around, it was simple!
After proposing a solution, someone from the auxiliary soldiers immediately volunteered to cut bamboo. He just saw bamboo growing over there!
When a few bamboos with wild branches were dragged back, Xiao Han scratched his head and suddenly remembered that where there were bamboos...should there be bamboo shoots?
As a result, the departure time was delayed for more than an hour. In addition to mulberries and tea leaves, the auxiliary soldiers had to carry a lot of bamboo shoots...
It's getting dark.
At the west gate of Xiazhou City, there were people walking back and forth on the city tower. The wind blew the lanterns, and the uncertain light shone on Xiao Lizi's gloomy face, which made the eldest grandson Shunde feel uneasy.
"Hey, if I had known better, I shouldn't have let Xiao Hou go!" He sighed in his heart. Just as Changsun Shunde was about to persuade King Qin to go down and rest for a while, he suddenly saw a light coming from a distance.
"who?"
The sound of horse hooves was heard, and both Li Shimin and Changsun Shunde were startled. They hurriedly lay down on the arrow stack and looked down.
"Open the door! It's me, Liu Si!" A knight holding an angry wind lantern reined his horse in front of the city gate and shouted towards the tower.
"Liu Si?" A school lieutenant stood on the city wall and carefully identified the person coming. After confirming his identity, he nodded to the eldest son, Shunde.
"Open the door and let him in!" Changsun Shunde shouted at the city gate.
Following Changsun Shunde's order, the heavy city gate slowly opened a small crack.
The knight abandoned his horse and dismounted, holding the lantern and trotting into the city gate, then followed the stairs until he came to Changsun Shunde and Li Shimin. Then he handed the lantern to others and bowed his hands in salute: "I have met the General, Your Highness the King of Qin!
Scout Liu Si is here to return!"
"Excuse me, please tell me if you have found Xiao Hou!" Li Shimin grabbed Liu Si and asked first with a look of urgency on his face!
Liu Si was very uncomfortable being grabbed by Li Shimin, but he did not dare to struggle, so he could only hold his hands and say: "Go back to your highness, I have met Xiao Hou! Xiao Hou asked me to come back quickly and tell King Qin that you would send someone to pick him up.
he!"
"Pick him up." Li Shimin's heart tightened, and the strength in his hands became stronger: "Ah? Why did you send someone to pick him up? Did something unexpected happen to them?"
Liu Si felt that he was almost out of breath. He shook his head vigorously to loosen his neck and then said: "Xiao Hou is fine and is not in any danger! It's just that he has too many things and can't walk..."
"
"Too much stuff? I can't carry it anymore! They found an orchard?!"
Changsun Shunde and Li Shimin looked at each other in surprise. They didn't know how many things Xiao Han had brought back when he went out, so they simply gathered a battalion of soldiers and horses and went out of the city gate to greet him!
