Chapter 754 Mystery in the Rain
"Boom!"
Fang Yuan's thought arose, and a sudden thunder sounded, which made his face pale, his whole body tremble, and a layer of cold sweat appeared on his back.
At this moment, the wind and clouds in the sky suddenly changed, and the thick sea of clouds suddenly became dark, covered with dark clouds, and a faint slight electric snake jumped. Between the friction, a dull thunder sounded.
“Hu, Hu…”
The strong wind whistled, sweeping over the heavy moisture, and also made everyone understand that the storm was coming.
"What kind of weather is this? It's just change." Bao Longtu frowned and was also somewhat grateful: "Fortunately it was raining when we arrived, otherwise the trouble would be serious."
While speaking, heavy rain suddenly dripped down. In a blink of an eye, raindrops formed a piece of it, and squirted and squirted.
"No, everyone, hurry up and avoid it."
At the greeting of Boss Du, everyone hurriedly ran away with their heads and returned to their ancestral homes. The heavy rain also officially fell, thunder and lightning flashed, silver light burst out, wind and rain were swaying, and fog layer by layer...
As soon as it rained, the whole village was covered with a layer of hazy white fog, and I couldn't see anything clearly.
Bao Longtu wiped off the water droplets from his face and asked, "Boss Du, does it often rain in the mountains?"
"We're catching up if we don't go too often," explained Boss Du: "After all, it's the turn of spring and summer. It's cold and hot, not only is there a lot of fog, but also a lot of rain. Sometimes it takes several days to form a continuous plum rainy weather."
"No, how many days will it rain?" Bao Longtu said in surprise: "Isn't that very troublesome?"
"It's a trouble." Boss Du nodded and said, "If you don't prepare enough dry firewood, you probably have to wear sticky clothes every day. It's wet and cold, which is very uncomfortable. So when you have the conditions, most people in the village choose to move out and don't want to stay here."
"It's really troublesome." Bao Longtu looked up at the sky and frowned and said, "I hope this rain won't last too long, otherwise we will be trapped here and cannot go back."
The road is slippery on rainy days and the mountain roads are rugged and steep. Going back in the rain will definitely be seeking death.
"Looking at the rain, I may not be able to stop for a while." Boss Du checked and smiled bitterly: "Maybe we must be prepared to spend the night here."
"It's not so miserable." Bao Longtu shouted: "The rain is heavy. It should clear up soon."
"The city must be like this. The problem is that it is in the mountains." Boss Du explained: "There is too much fog around it, and it rises into the sky and accumulates into rain clouds. It will naturally last longer."
"Ah..." Bao Longtu sighed in distress. Faced with this natural phenomenon that cannot be transferred by personal will, he had no choice but to do anything. No matter how unhappy he was, he had no choice.
"Brother Bao, don't worry." Boss Du comforted him: "I have encountered similar situations before, so I made some preparations early."
"What preparation?" Bao Longtu was a little curious.
Boss Du smiled slightly and pointed at him: "Everyone comes with me."
The others naturally had no objection, so they followed Boss Du to the lobby next to the circular patio in the house. There was a side door next to the lobby. Boss Du opened the door casually. Everyone took the opportunity to see that there was a tea room inside.
The tea room was clean and tidy, with all the tables, chairs and tea tables. Boss Du walked in and took out the tea-burning utensils under the tea table. Then he asked someone to come back to take some rain and boil water and make tea directly with charcoal.
Seeing this situation, Bao Longtu was very hesitant: "Boss Du, can this rain be eaten?"
"Haha, brother Bao, don't worry." Boss Du laughed and said, "The rain in the mountains is not the industrial water that is polluted by the city. It can not only be eaten, but also very sweet."
"When I was young, there was no water pump installed in the deep pool at the mountain. When it rained, everyone was too lazy to carry water, so they just moved the tank out to collect the rain. This is a habit that everyone has developed over the past thousands of years. No one has any problems with eating..."
Boss Du swears to the point that when the rain boils, he pours a cup directly and savors himself. After a bite, he shows nostalgic expression: "It's still the taste of the past."
"It's just boiled water, what does it smell like."
Bao Longtu naturally doubted, and of course he did not show it on the surface. However, seeing Boss Du drink it directly, he naturally felt at ease. After all, even the big boss with a wealthy family dared to drink rainwater, so what was he afraid of?
At that moment, Bao Longtu also raised his glass and signaled: "Boss Du, give me a cup too."
"Brother Bao, you will know that I didn't lie to you after you taste it." Boss Du smiled. Not only did he pour a glass of water for Bao Longtu, he also made tea with the flow, and serving guests with tea is more in line with social habits.
Boiled water, Baolongtu waited for the water to cool down before raising his glass and taking a sip.
"Huh?" Bao Longtu frowned, and after savoring it for a moment, his brows stretched out, revealing a look of surprise: "The water is actually sweet, don't you put sugar?"
"Haha, Brother Bao, you have seen it too. There is no sugar here." Boss Du smiled and said, "It is because the rain water is sweet and tastes better than the pond water that the village has developed the habit of drinking rain water."
"That's strange, how can rain be sweet?" Bao Longtu said in surprise. After all, there is no pollution here. When the water vapor evaporates, it is equivalent to the distillation process, forming pure water, which should have no taste.
"I can't understand, either." Boss Du shook his head and said, "But I thought, maybe the grass and trees in the mountains are full of grass and fog are the essence of plants. When the clouds and fog turn into rain, they will naturally carry some sweet smell of plants and trees."
"It makes sense." Bao Longtu agreed deeply.
At this time, Boss Du also made tea and quickly gave it to everyone.
"Master Fang, you can also taste this wild mountain tea." Boss Du said enthusiastically: "There is an old tea tree on the mountain, which is said to have a history of hundreds of years. Every year, before and after rain, only one or two kilograms of fresh tender tea leaves are produced. I ask people to pick and stir-fry it into tea, which tastes good, so you must taste it."
"Oh." Fang Yuan nodded, but he looked unsteady.
"Master Fang..." Boss Du was very surprised and couldn't help but shout, but Bao Longtu stopped him.
"Don't pay attention to him." Bao Longtu was calm and said lightly: "He must have discovered something, but he couldn't figure it out and was thinking hard."
"Ah." Boss Du was stunned, and then he was surprised and interspersed: "Really?"
"It should be." Bao Longtu confirmed: "Whenever he wakes up in a daze and uncovers the mystery, I'm used to it. Don't bother him, so as not to stop him from inspiration."
Boss Du immediately shut up, his eyes full of unconcealed joy.
"It's okay, just don't touch him. He is now wandering around and can't hear what we are talking about." Bao Longtu said casually, then raised his glass to take a sip of tea, his eyes lit up: "This tea is really good..."
"Brother Bao likes it, I'll give it to you all." Boss Du said generously.
"How can you be so embarrassed?" Bao Longtu smiled with his eyebrows.
"I don't like to drink tea, so keeping it is a waste." Boss Du looked up and looked at the hazy rainwater outside through the skylight. He also sighed a little: "Maybe it was because I drank too much rain when I was young, and the sweet taste was unforgettable. I always feel a little less when I drink tea again."
"...Water is sweet in my hometown." Bao Longtu expressed his understanding.
Boss Du smiled, with a little bit of inexplicable thoughts in his eyes, and he said in a daze: "It's a coincidence that when Shenxian Xiao came here, it also rained..."
"Bang!"
Hearing this, Fang Yuan shook his hand and knocked the teacup in front of him, but he didn't care about cleaning up. His eyes were very clear and shining, and he shone with a burning light: "What did you say just now?"
"Uh?" Boss Du was stunned and subconsciously said, "I didn't say anything."
Bao Longtu was very alert and hurriedly said, "He just said that when Shenxian Xiao came here, it was raining. Is that the sentence?"
"Before or after the rain?" Fang Yuan asked, with a little forced attitude, his eyes were very bright, which made Boss Du feel bleed.
Fortunately, Boss Du's reaction was not slow, and he realized that this might be the key. He hurriedly calmed down and recalled it seriously: "...it should be...after the rain, yes, it was after it rain. I remember very clearly that it was a little rain on the road that year. We hid for more than an hour. When the rain stopped, we continued to set off to the village..."
"Swish!"
Before Boss Du finished speaking, Fang Yuan stood up and hurriedly ran out.
"What...what happened?" Bao Longtu blinked his eyes and followed him out. After Boss Du and others were stunned, they naturally had no intention of drinking tea and followed him one after another.
In an instant, a group of people rushed outside the lobby. At this time, it was raining heavily, and the sky was still dark, with dark clouds. From time to time, silver snakes floated lightning, thunder sounded, and the sky collapsed and the earth cracked.
However, at this time, Fang Yuan had no time to pay attention to the natural phenomena in the sky. Instead, he walked directly to the spacious patio and looked at it in detail. The heavy rain fell on his head, and it directly poured him into a chicken.
"What are you doing?" Bao Longtu frowned when he saw this and turned around and said, "Boss Du, do you have an umbrella?"
"No umbrella..." Boss Du shook his head, then turned around and ordered: "You guys, go get some things to help Master Fang block the rain."
Although there is no umbrella in the ancestral house, there are also some wooden boards, bamboo cages and other things. Several people picked up one thing and quickly blocked the square yuan, forming an airtight protective cover, which makes the rainwater even more infiltrated.
Fang Yuan was so amused that he cried and went out, waved his hand and said, "Don't block the way, I'm studying things."
"What to study?" Bao Longtu asked hurriedly.
"... Let's talk about it later." Fang Yuan said casually, and then began to observe with concentration.
It was raining heavily, falling from the sky, some poured onto the roof, and then flowed down the patio along the roof tiles. Some rain dripped directly onto the patio, eroding the floor...
The time is not long, and there is a pool of water in the patio. Fortunately, there is an culvert in the patio that can drain the water. Otherwise, the water would have already flowed over the steps and directly immersed in the lobby.
