Sign in and get rich in farming

She was a girl, about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a full moon face, willow-shaped eyebrows, and upturned eyes. She looked a little mean.

She was looking at Yu Hongdou and the others with a frown on her face. When her eyes met Tan Langxiu's, she froze for a moment. She lowered her head shyly, pursed her lips, and then raised her head again and said, "May I ask, but..."

Before he could finish his words, Tan Langxu turned around and protected An Hedi and Yu Hongdou as they walked into the teahouse.

The girl was stunned, a surge of heat rushed to her head, and she glared at Yu Sanlang who was the last one to walk.

Yu Sanlang didn't know about this lawsuit, but he had already heard the storyteller banging his head to wake up the table.

Yu Hongdou looked around. Even though she had traveled through time for many years, when she saw the famous scene she still wanted to compare it with her memory.

Most of the teahouses in her memory are from film and television dramas and crosstalk groups.

Obviously, the real version of the ancient teahouse is much more simple and spacious than the ones in movies and TV dramas.

The building is in the shape of a U, with two floors and a void in the middle. To the south is a high platform for performances, where storytelling and singing are common daily entertainments.

Yu Hongdou looked at the wall behind the platform and felt that it was not only smooth, but also slightly curved, which might be beneficial to the propagation of sound waves.

This was not surprising. What surprised her was that in front of the stage there was a row of things that looked like rice buckets and loudspeakers.

"That's a loudspeaker. It interacts with the ceiling and can make the sound louder." Before leaving in front of Yu Hongdou, Tan Yan turned around and saw where Yu Hongdou was looking, and explained in a low voice.

Yu Hongdou looked upwards in the direction where Tan Yanlin pointed, and sure enough, the ceiling was like an inverted square bucket.

There were many of them, including servants, noblemen, and even distinguished guests. The waiter did not need to ask and directly led them to the private room upstairs.

At this time, on the high platform in the lobby, the wake-up stick was banged on the table and the storyteller had already started his voice.

The story told by the storyteller is called "Mi Sheng's Encounter with the Hat Fairy". It tells the story of his ancestor named Mi Sheng who went out to set crab cages at night and saw a glowing monster in the shape of a "big hat" rising from the water.

Yu Hongdou didn't even bother to watch the waiter reading out the tea order. She leaned over the screen window on the second floor facing the first floor and listened attentively.

The storyteller said that his family had lived by a big lake for generations. The lake was rich in river crabs, and his family made a living by catching crabs.

One day when the moon was full, Mi Sheng remembered that he had forgotten to put out the crab cage, so he told his family and went to the lake to put it out.

He walked to the water's edge with the crab cage and was about to throw it into the water when he suddenly saw bubbles bubbling in the middle of the river, and then a dazzling light as bright as daylight rose from the water.

A huge monster like a hat emerged and floated on the water.

Mi Sheng was so scared that he threw away the crab cage in his hand and ran back. Unexpectedly, the glowing hat chased after him and a beam of light shot out from the hat, sucking Mi Sheng into it...

When the storyteller reached this point, he picked up the wake-up stick, slammed the table and said, "To know what happens next, please wait for the next chapter."

The audience who were drinking tea in the lobby below the stage cheered, and some began to throw copper coins and silver onto the stage.

Yu Hongdou looked at the storyteller standing on the stage and bowing, knowing that this was probably a reward. She turned around and glanced at the few people who were crowded by the window with her.

"Changhe, go and give a reward of two taels of silver." Yu Sanlang was not satisfied with what he heard, so he asked Changhe to give the reward money.

Tan Mengao was feeling anxious as he listened, so he also gave a reward of two taels of silver. Tan Mengao and Tan Yanlin also gave a reward of two taels of silver.

An Hedi didn't give it to him. He seemed to have heard this story before, or he was not interested in it. He was the only one in the room who sat at the table and sipped his tea seriously.

"Amber...Grandpa, don't you like to hear stories like this?" Yu Hongdou looked at An Hedi like this and felt a little curious.

"It's just a fabricated story." Emperor An He waved his hands, obviously disdaining the story.

"There are many similar stories. Xiaoyanzi, you should have read quite a few classics. Why are you still so fascinated by them?" An Hedi looked at Tan Yanlin. He was really curious about the seriousness on this child's face. Did he really listen to it or was he just pretending?

Yu Hongdou couldn't help but giggle when she heard the name "Little Swallow". She really couldn't connect the three cute names of Little Pony, Little Wolf and Little Swallow with the three handsome guys in front of her.

"My master once said that this world is huge and humans are like ants. What humans see and hear is just a drop in the ocean. Sometimes, many things may not be false."

After answering An Hedi's question, Tan Yanlin turned to look at Yu Hongdou.

"In fact, many historical books record some events that are difficult to trace. Some of them were deduced by later generations, such as the mystery of the thunderstorm in the family of Chen, the favorite concubine of Emperor Qing."

"Some things may never be found in a lifetime, such as the lost country of Xiangsai."

Yu Hongdou was stunned, and suddenly felt admiration for the boy in front of her who was five years older than her.

Is this the so-called chosen one? This sentence just hits the point.

In fact, Yu Hongdou had seen and heard similar stories to the one told by the storyteller many times, on the Internet and in Chinese class.

Her Chinese teacher was a very knowledgeable man and he would always give them some ancient allusions in every class.

He talked about the mystery of the Big Bang, the interesting story of Su Dongpo encountering a UFO in "Visiting Jinshan Temple", and the story of Shen Kuo seeing the "big pearl" in "Dream Pool Essays".

These stories fascinated the classmates, and even Yu Hongdou, a science student, still remembers the original texts of the two stories many years after graduation.

[At that time, the moon on the river gave birth to a soul... There seemed to be a torch burning in the middle of the river, and the flying flames illuminated the mountains and startled the birds...]

[During the Jiayou period, there was a very large pearl in Yangzhou... It moved as fast as flying, floating in the waves, and was as bright as the sun.]

Yu Hongdou was reciting silently in her heart, and suddenly she felt something was wrong.

"Stars fell from the sky, mountains collapsed, the ground sank, thick smoke looked like fire, and when I climbed up high and looked far away, I saw a red light rising into the sky that I couldn't look directly at..."

Aren’t these the clues left by Cao Yun, the magical ancestor of the Cao family, and the sentences translated by Xu Da?

Combining "Visiting Jinshan Temple" and "Dream Pool Essays" and associating it with the storyteller, Yu Hongdou had a bold guess.

Perhaps, the place where the ancestors that the Cao family and Xu Da wanted to find disappeared is in the water!

"Knock knock~Sir, the lady from the room opposite said that she accidentally spilled the teacup just now, which may have offended a young man. She wanted to apologize." The waiter knocked on the door and came in, bowed slightly, and stated his purpose.

"?" Yu Hongdou, who was still immersed in speculation, reacted after a while and looked up at Tan Langxiu.

Everyone in the room looked over, especially An Hedi, whose expression of watching a show was too obvious.

"Let her... pay twenty taels of silver and that's it." Tan Langxu paused after saying the first two words, and suddenly changed his words when he saw the pair of delicate velvet flowers on Yu Hongdou's head.

...Tsk, Tan Mengao rolled his eyes in Yu style. Don’t think he didn’t hear it. I clearly wanted to tell her to get out before!
