I didn't become a human today

Ji Ran passed through Shiyuan, led everyone to drive for ten days, and finally arrived at the junction of Lingnan and Shiyuan.

Merchants from all over the country passed on the main road, carrying stone carts to transport jadeite and jade out of Shiyuan.

This road is an official road, and almost no bandits dare to rob here.

Liang Xingye got off his horse and arrived outside the tea shop, where many businessmen were resting nearby.

"Guest officer, tie the horses there and come in for some tea." The owner of the tea shop greeted them with a simple and honest face at the door.

Liang Xingye didn't go in. He stayed outside to accompany Ji Ran. There were too many horses around him that looked the same as him. In addition, this time Ji Ran had grown a whole body of hair. The stables were all sorrel. There are many people on the road, and Ji Ran never speaks, because he is afraid of scaring others. If there is someone who is not good-looking, he will be in trouble if he leads the wrong horse.

Foya put the burden on the table, sweating profusely, "What tea? Have a pot!"

The owner of the tea shop quickly served a pot of tea for them and poured it into the teacup. It was orange in color and not bitter, but the taste was very bland.

"What kind of tea is this?" Foya asked.

The owner of the tea shop hurriedly came out and explained, "It's not really tea, it's just some tea foam, which can only be used to quench your thirst."

Foya put down the tea bowl, and with a heavy tap, some of the tea soup was found on Table Mountain, "Is this the boundary of Lingnan?"

"It's Lingnan."

Foya continued, "I've always heard that Lingnan has good mountains, water, and tea, especially the Kuding tea you have here. It's the best tea. Do you have it in your shop? I can't wait to try it."

The owner of the tea shop smiled all over his face, "Guest officer, Kuding tea can be said to be worth one or two thousand gold. Of course, there are no small tea shops like ours. If you want to drink Kuding tea..." He pointed, "Where are you going?" , there is a Wanli tea garden, and the Kuding tea there is the best quality in Lingnan!"

Foya put some broken silver, and couldn't wait to tell Liang Xingye the news he had just found out, "Will you go? Brother Xingye, I just brought enough money, how about we try the top-quality Kudingcha? Come here coming."

Foya touched the horse's mane, "What do you think?"

Ji Ran neighed in agreement.

The Wanli tea garden used to be the property of his old Ji family. The Ji family used to be the richest businessman in the north and south, and their status in Lingnan was the same as that of the Fu family in Shiyuan.The official road under their feet was originally opened up by the members of Lao Ji's family in the tea business when they traveled north and south.

But later, the Ji family fell for a period of time, and Wanli Tea Garden was sold.

Ji Ran grew up in this Wanli tea garden when he was a child, with bare buttocks and bare feet, crawling around among the tea trees, and has always had a different feeling for Wanli tea garden.

After leaving the official path, Ji Ran began to speak the human language with confidence.

"When I was young, my father was always doing business abroad. He didn't care about me, and he was always in a free-range state. The Wanli Tea Garden is where I grew up. I want to go back and have a look, even if it looks like it is now. But before that..."

He stopped where he was, feeling a little itchy in his buttocks, and swiped his horse's tail, "Before that, can you bring me a handful of alfalfa? If there is no alfalfa, carrot green corn will do. I want the tenderest one, and the carrot is the most tender." It’s the thickness of your fingers, and the sweet kind of corn is best, to help you carry your luggage all the way, so you must have a delicious meal.”

Liang Xingye smiled, and reached out to feel in the bag, "I knew you wanted to eat these, and I already bought them for you in advance."

As he said that, he took out finger-thick carrots from the bundle and fed them to the horse. Ji Ran made a crisp sound after eating, and the horse's mouth twitched, "Hey, my butt is a little itchy, scratch it for me, some on the top, yes yes , that's where..."

After Ji Ran was full, Foya helped him pack a lot of carrots at the market and put them all on the horse's back, "This time it's all your own food, you have to carry it willingly."

The climate in Lingnan is slightly colder than Shiyuan, and the temperature is lower than in early spring.

Especially when going up the mountain, all directions are hidden in the clouds.The air humidity here is very high, and the fog will not disperse until the sun rises.

The vegetation on the mountain road is very rich, and all kinds of wild flowers are covered with dew. The fragrance of the flowers is hidden in the clouds and mist, mixing into the mountains and rivers of Lingnan.

"The environment here is much better than the desert where I grew up!" Foya sighed.

"It's natural. Lingnan has always been famous for its mountains and rivers. The Wanli tea garden we are going to this time is the place where I played and grew up. No one is more familiar with that place than me. Let's hurry up and we will be there soon. I I can already smell the aroma of tea."

Everyone walked through the cloud-shrouded mountainside and reached the top of the mountain. Ji Ran snorted excitedly, kicked, tapped, and the ground kept moving, "Here we are."

Looking around, the endless mountains are full of tea trees.

Those tea trees have been pruned to the size of half a person's height, row after row, so neatly arranged, with the moisture of mist and rain, buds have grown on many tea trees, it is a good time to pick tea , but there are no tea pickers in the mountains, which is a bit strange.

"The most important thing about tea picking is timing. Right now, these buds are just the right size for picking. If it is too late, they will all get old and the taste will be different. But why can't we see half of the tea pickers here?"

Ji Ran took everyone to the depths of the tea garden, but found that the tea trees on the hills became more and more neglected as they went further. Some of them had not even been pruned, and they had grown to the height of a person in a disorderly manner.

Could it be that this Wanli tea garden has been abandoned like this?Ji Ran decided to ask someone to find out.

What a glorious existence Wanli tea garden was in the hands of old man Ji, but now it is unknown who is the owner of this tea garden, and it is so neglected in management.

They walked around several hills and finally found a house in the middle of the tea garden.

The door of the house was closed, and a mirror was hung on the door.

Holding the beads in his hands, Foya leaned forward and patted the door, and then said to Ji Ran: "Mirrors are cold things, and the mirrors hung on the door have the effect of warding off evil spirits. Could it be that this tea garden is haunted?"

He knocked on the door again, and finally there was movement inside the door.

"Who?"

"Buying tea."

The old wooden door creaked open, and an elderly man held a lantern and looked at them, "Come in."

There was a gust of cold wind, and the old man was leading the way.

Foya walked in the front, seeing that something was wrong, he retracted, "Brother Hoshino, have you noticed... that old man always walks against the wall?"
