    The boss said that if you want to walk at night, you have to walk at night, and there is no overtime pay for the night shift. At this moment, Bao Le just wants to shout "this is a different price", but it's a pity that she has no guts.

    When everyone got off the bus, it was completely dark.

    Guyu Township is a very common ancient town in Sichuan. It is said that it was first built in the Song Dynasty. Because it is located at the intersection of several surrounding cities, it was a famous commercial place in ancient times. After the reform and opening up, the economic development of various places has expanded successively.Did not fall down.Around the 1970s and 1980s, the ancient town had cement roads, but there have been no motor vehicles. The villagers mainly use motorcycles or electric bicycles as transportation.

    The bus only took them to the main road in front of Guyu Township, and it is said that they have to walk seven or eight miles to see the archway in front of the village.

    It seems that there is a road leading to darkness, but it will be very dark, and there is no street light on the side of the road. don't know if there are any ditches or pits, and everyone doesn't want to try it.

    Bao Le suddenly realized that Shen Yan had said before that he had found a guide for them.

    "There's a guide, you didn't tell me earlier." Jiang Ning covered her nose, and stood to the left in disgust. She just found a pile of cow dung on the right, which was still fresh.

    But Bao Le didn't remember the phone number very much. She only glanced at it briefly at that time, and memorized the general idea in her mind. There were two digits with vague consciousness, as if any number was correct.

    She fumbled for the phone and pressed it for a long time, but she still hadn't made the call.

    Shen Wangyan couldn't stand it anymore, took out the phone from her hand, and pressed a series of numbers.

    He even memorized it!

    Bao Le was in shock when the young master handed the phone back and asked calmly, "Can you speak Sichuan dialect?"

    Our heroine shook her head innocently, expressing that this is really not possible.

    Fortunately, the reliable Shen Sanhui, here we have to praise these excellent servants brought by the Shen family. They have worked hard all the way, from carrying equipment, carrying luggage, looking for transportation, to cooking, cooking, etc.Buying water, and occasionally hitting the shoulders, is almost omnipotent.No, the reliable Shen San also knows a foreign language, and started a translator part-time.

    "Young Master, Uncle Heibei will be there soon." Shen San hung up the phone, and handed over the phone like a dog.

    Bao Le hurriedly took back his mobile phone from him, where is this person going to send it, do you have any discernment, and when it was over, he gave Shen Wangyan a hard look.Shen Wangyan at the side just shook his head and smiled, not fussing like her.

    After everyone waited for a while, their guide "Uncle Heibei" arrived with his son in two open tricycles.There were nine of them, they could only be divided into two teams, Bao Le and the three most handsome members of the Shen family sat in the same car.

    Along the way, Bao Le saw a large number of green bushes on both sides of the road. It was not very clear in the dark, and only the headlights of the tricycle could occasionally illuminate a small bush on the side of the road.She took a deep breath, the air in the countryside was much better than that in the city, and there was a different smell vaguely mixed in, not to say it was a fragrance, but very unique.

    "Is this the tea garden?" Bao Le asked with a smile.

    Driving for them is Uncle Heibei's son Abu, who is about the same age as Bao Le, even younger, and will be resting at home during the summer vacation.Although his accent also has a strong Sichuan flavor of Mandarin, everyone can understand and communicate.

    Abu said: "Our village relies on tea for a living. Even though there are so many planted here, you think it's easy to plant. These tea trees are hard to take care of."

    "What kind of tea is this?"

    "Ours is called Batujianer, a kind of black tea, have you heard of it?"

    Bao Le shook his head.

    "I'll treat you to a pot some other day, and I'd like to take some with me."

    Abu didn't know if he knew him from here, or he saw a pretty girl, and he kept talking along the way.Jun Zhi and Shen Wangyan sat in a corner with their hands folded, their eyes closed, and they did not hear what was going on around them.Jiang Ning wanted to kick the young man down several times, but considering that he was considered a driver, she just thought about it and was not in a hurry to do it, but her smile became more and more bloody.

    Only Bao Le really seemed to be on vacation, and he didn't think Abu was noisy, chatting with him casually.

    The car drove over the narrow stone bridge, which was so narrow that it was just wide enough to accommodate their small tricycle without guardrails.It is also extremely thrilling for people to look to the side in the car, after all, there is a rushing stream under the bridge.

    Abu drove the tricycle smoothly, without Bao Le's panic at all.

    "The stream looks fast."

    "This is the characteristic of our village. There is a forest four or five miles east of here, and further into the forest there is a waterfall. The water flows down from the mountain and converges into a small stream in this area," Abu said."Hey, sit down, I'll tell you what you want to see, you look dangerous like this."

    Bao Le was a little embarrassed, she had just twisted a bit when she was caught.

    The little girl said: "I saw a strangely shaped stone over there, and I couldn't hold back for a moment."

    Abu understood: "Our village is called Guyu Township. The word 'Yu' means 'fishing'. It is named after this stone, which looks like a fisherman caught a fish from the stream."

    Bao Le said that he raised his posture.

    "Young man," Jiang Ning said suddenly, with a sinister smile, "Why, have you taken a fancy to our little technical girl?"

    Bao Le pinched her and said angrily, "What are you talking about!"

    But these words silenced the young man driving in front for a while, and the atmosphere went further and further in the direction of embarrassment. Only Jiang Ning was very satisfied with the tranquility that finally arrived.

    ...

    Guyu Township has a long strip shape as a whole. Affected by the surrounding mountains and forests, the living environment is very narrow and long, running north-south.The ground is made of bluestone slabs, which are uneven and smoothed by the years.The houses facing the street are all wooden structures, with gray tiles and siding walls, and wooden window cornices. They are usually upper houses and lower bunks.There are also some courtyard structures, where two or three floors form a courtyard, and the functions of houses in different directions are different.Because of the age, the old street concierge is already old and mottled, but it can't hide the prosperity of the year.

    The book also said that the emergence of Guyu Township was due to the construction of post stations on the Ancient Tea-Horse Road., Inns, restaurants, tea shops, bodyguard bureaus and other small businesses.

    Now there is only one hotel in Guyu Township, for travelers or leaders to come and stay, it is the "Happy Guest House" in front of Bao Le and the others.

    Bao Le has never stayed in a hotel with such a poor environment. There are only two floors, and there are only five rooms in total. There are three tables in the lobby. There are spider webs visible to the naked eye. It seems that no one has been here for a long time.Even to go to the toilet, have to go out and walk 500 meters west to the only public toilet in the village.

    But in such a poor environment, the usually pampered and precious young master Shen didn't even complain.

    Bao Le thought to himself that he should not be underestimated.

    There is another thing that Bao Le finds very strange. In her impression, Shen Wangyan has always been a frail and sickly unlucky person who coughs to death at every turn. According to her understanding, going to visit the tomb this time is not dangerous, but at least very dangerous.Physically exhausting.She was very worried about whether Young Master Shen would be able to withstand this torture with his physical fitness.However, thinking about it now, since he left the house, Young Master Shen's physical condition, including his mental state, has improved a lot. For example, he just waited for a car at the intersection for so long. In the past, he stood for so long and was blown by the wind.

    But now, until everyone was sitting at the table in the lobby waiting for dinner, Shen Wangyan only coughed lightly, with a calm expression on his face.

    Realizing that Bao Le was looking at him, Young Master Shen glanced back.

    As if being electrocuted, Bao Le quickly sat up straight.

    Young Master Shen didn't bother to talk to her, and focused on assigning tasks: "Tomorrow morning, Shen San will stay at the hotel and wait for the follow-up equipment to arrive. Jiang Ning, you stay and help him. Jun Zhi and we will go to the mountains first."

    "Us?" Bao Le blinked innocently, "Who are you with?"

    Young Master Shen showed a cruel expression.

    Bao Le burst into tears: "Okay, you don't need to say it, I understand."

    Who else, in Young Master Shen's heart, Bao Le and him are already grasshoppers on the same boat.

    Just as they were talking, the owner of the hotel served them food.I didn’t expect to eat anything good when I was away from home, but the food was unexpected—the boss prepared three dishes and one soup.Dried radish, and a dark one, I don't know what it is.

    "This is our specialty tea cake. It is made with the eight-cluster catechia grown at home. Come and try it." The boss looked enthusiastic.

    At the dinner table, Jiang Ning was not interested in the dinner. She fumbled in her pocket, raised the cigarette case in her hand, and then ran to the hotel door to smoke it.

    This table of Sichuan cuisine is probably all spicy. A young master like Shen Wangyan who grew up in the south of the Yangtze River must not be able to eat spicy food. Bao Le gloated and wanted to see him unable to move his chopsticks and end up eating plain rice in embarrassment.

    But she was disappointed, Young Master Shen not only eats spicy food, but also eats it with gusto.

    Shen Wangyan eats spicy food differently from others. He not only eats boiled fish, but also eats the bright red chili in the boiled fish. You heard me right, you can believe that he chews chili dry!Young Master Shen took a piece of chili and put it into his mouth, he chewed it like he usually eats plain rice, and then swallowed it with a movement of his Adam's apple.The whole movement is gentle and elegant, and Bao Le looks hot, as if his throat can catch fire.

    "What are you looking at me for?" Shen Wangyan glanced at Bao Le lightly.

    Bao Le, who had never seen the world, shook his head, closed his big mouth, and silently lowered his head to eat his own.

    The plate of tea cakes on the table looked dark, probably the only thing that looked like a dark dish, Bao Le wanted to eat it but dared not.After struggling for a long time, Jun Zhi calmly picked up a piece, put it in his mouth, chewed it twice, Bao Le saw that he vomited again.

    "Isn't it delicious?" Bao Le was nervous.

    "Too sweet."

    It turned out to be sweet, and now Bao Le was even more curious.After struggling twice, she decided to try it herself.

    How should put it, Bao Le has never eaten pastries like green tea Buddha cakes before. It is a dessert made of green tea, taro paste and sesame.The taste is a bit different.The tea cake is indeed very sweet as Junzhi said, as if to cover up the bitterness of the tea leaves. The taste is not sticky, but the texture of powder sand.

    To say that it is unpalatable, if you taste it for the first time, there is a high probability that you will be ruthlessly spit it out.But Bao Le reluctantly swallowed two mouthfuls, and the tea fragrance between her lips and teeth made her even a little addicted.

    The eight-cluster catechu tea in Guyu Township has a unique aroma. Of course, if you want to ask where it is special, Bao Le can't answer it for a while.

    Unlike the Bao Le who just ate, Shen Wangyan took a sip and thoughtfully poked at the remaining tea cake crumbs on the plate.

    ...

    On the first night in Guyu, Bao Le slept soundly, it seems that this long journey really made the little girl very tired.

    Although the daily routine of going to bed early and waking up early is not in line with her style, it is undeniable that it makes her look better.Stretching, the little girl leaned against the railing of the hotel patio and looked at the lobby below.

    It's rare to see Jun Zhi in the morning.

    Jun Zhi stopped wearing his previous hoodie when he came to Sichuan. It seems that this young man clearly distinguishes between his work and hobbies.But the short windbreaker on him is also very good-looking, paired with a pair of tight trousers and a pair of old-fashioned military boots, it has a bit of a mercenary flavor in the novel.

    He's sharpening his knife right now.

    I said before that his weapons are relatively small and easy to carry, such as the black metal blade in his hand, and the blade is so polished that it can even look in a mirror.The total length from the handle to the tip of the knife is slightly shorter than the distance from his wrist to his fingertips, so it is easy to hide it in the palm of his hand, and when you think he is not holding a weapon, it will light up to surprise you.

    He not only has this small knife, but if you have the courage to take off his black windbreaker, you can appreciate a row of weapons strung around his waist, including everything, even poisoned (or anesthetic)Hidden weapon silver needle.

    It was fun for Jun Zhi to sharpen the knife, and Bao Le watched it upstairs for a while.

    He sharpened the edge of the knife with a whetstone, then narrowed his eyes to check the results of his labor on a line level with the tip of the knife. If he passed the test, he would pour water on it again, and then wipe it with the cloth on the inside of his elbow.

    Woohoo, my brother has the same way of wiping the knife.

    But it might not work if someone else said it. After all, with such a sharp blade, she didn't have the confidence not to cut herself anyway.

    "Our Shen family's family flower looks good, look at his cold and ascetic beauty face." Jiang Ning appeared from behind Bao Le like a ghost.

    Bao Le only glanced at her, and found that the scenery downstairs was better, so he ignored her, but later Jiang Ning joined her.So two beauties with very different styles, with their shoulders hooked and their backs draped, nestled together behind the railing on the second floor, commenting on the young flesh|body downstairs.

    "His jawline and nose bridge are really invincible."

    "really."

    "Just don't smile much."

    "...You probably don't want to see him smile."

    "These long legs have nowhere to rest."

    "Kicking people is also ruthless."

    "I don't know how the abdominal muscles feel."

    "I know how to do this question, it's very tight, and I want to touch it even after touching it."

    "You know this as well?!"

    "It's not for nothing that we fought so many times."

    "..."

    "But his hair is so long, wouldn't it be inconvenient to fight? What if he falls on himself?"

    "Why do you think he hasn't dumped himself?"

    "..."

    The little girl suddenly took Jiang Ning's hand, with a look of eagerness for knowledge: "Why isn't his surname Shen but the flower of the Shen family?"

    Jiang Ning looked mysterious: "Let me tell you that this is the secret of the Shen family..."

    The little brother downstairs has always had good hearing, and he didn't bother to talk to them before. Hearing Jiang Ning's words, his eyes changed, and he glanced coldly in their direction.

    Jiang Ning was speechless: "Tsk tsk tsk, don't say it, don't say it."

    Bao Le gave her a blank look.

    "Does the Shen family have weeds?"

    "Of course." Jiang Ning whistled at Shen Wangyan who just got up and walked slowly to the table opposite Jun Zhi and sat down, "No, you ordered home grass."

    Shen Wangyan noticed two girls upstairs peeping, raised his head with a smile, and greeted them both.

    Jiang Ning patted her on the shoulder, smiling brightly: "Go, your boss told you to get ready to work."
