Strange talk live room

After walking a few steps into the dark woods, you can see bluestone slabs paved on the path, extending into the depths of the woods.

There is a large courtyard behind it, and the antique old building is half hidden and half visible under the cover of deep vegetation, like a mysterious old man.

"It's just ahead."

Sister Xu Zuoning led everyone out of the woods and came to a tall courtyard gate.

There is a small chandelier hanging above the door. The bulb is very ordinary, and the lampshade is woven from hay. The light shines through the hollow pattern, casting a broken shadow.

"This lamp is very unique." I praised.

"I did it myself. We don't have much money and can't afford decorative lights, so we have to think of a way on our own." After receiving the compliment, Xu Zuoning smiled at me shyly and proudly.

"Ingenuity and dexterity!" Her petite sister-in-law Su Ruoyi also expressed her sincere appreciation. "I am really envious of people with handicapped hands like me. Zuo Ning, can you teach me when you have time?"

"Thank you, let's talk about it when we have time." Xu Zuoning just responded lightly, as if he didn't like this sudden appearance of his sister-in-law.

Su Ruoyi's smile dimmed, feeling disappointed.

Cartoonist Xu You'an had a look of regret on his face. He hugged his wife and comforted her: "My sister doesn't often interact with people. She is slow to get along. It will be fine if she gets familiar with her."

"Oh." Su Ruoyi nodded softly.

Crunchy——

The door was opened, and the sound of the wooden shaft turning was long and lingering.

As if to notify the old house that the guests have arrived.

"Please come in."

We crossed the threshold and entered the courtyard.

It is a large area with many trees and flowers planted.

A faint fragrance came, mixed in the fresh air, and the subtle fragrance circulated, seeming to calm people's minds.

"What smells so good?" I turned my head curiously.

Unfortunately, there were no lights in the yard, and all we could see were dark masses of unknown green plants.

"camellia."

Xu Zuoning smiled and pointed his white finger to the left side of the courtyard.

"That area is full of tea trees that I transplanted from the mountains. Now is the season when the camellias are blooming."

"I have never seen a tea tree blooming. Can I go and enjoy it?" Like a real tourist, I am very interested in the local characteristics.

"Guest, don't be in a hurry. Let's go inside first and have a rest. After dinner, go for a walk in the yard. The scent of this camellia will become stronger as it gets late into the night."

"So amazing! I'm really looking forward to it!" I nodded repeatedly.

Su Ruoyi also opened her eyes curiously, stood on tiptoes and whispered in her husband's ear: "Is it true?"

"Yeah." Xu Youan nodded lightly.

"I want to see the camellias after dinner, so you stay with me." Su Ruoyi hugged her husband's arm tightly and looked at him with big eyes.

Xu You'an looked at her expectant eyes and hesitated to speak, but finally let out a soft hum.

Su Ruoyi burst out with a big happy smile. If there weren't others around, she might have kissed her husband on the face.

Xu Zuoning looked at her coldly, a chill flashing in his eyes.

The three-story old building was dimly lit.

At the top window, an old face was pressed against the window, expressionless as he watched a group of people enter the house.

Because of the humidity in the mountains, the house is raised about half a meter above ground, and gravel is laid underneath to prevent moisture.

Step up the small wooden stairs, open the door and reach the first floor.

The living room is very spacious. There are no modern sofas, only antique wooden chairs and tables.

"Guest, please take a seat."

Xu Zuoning opened the bamboo thermos bottle and made me a steaming cup of tea.

"This is tea grown at home. I picked and roasted it myself. You can try it. I will take my brother upstairs to visit my father first, and I will come down to make dinner soon."

"I'm not in a hurry, you guys get busy first."

I picked up the tea cup, opened the lid and smelled it.

The fragrance is fragrant.

Use the lid to skim off the tea leaves and take a small sip.

The fragrance of tea mixed with hot water flows into the body, like a trickle of warmth, which makes people feel comfortable physically and mentally.

It leaves a fragrance on the lips and teeth, with a long aftertaste, which calms the mind and calms the mind.

"Good tea!" I praised.

"Thank you for the compliment, guest! If I have time, I will make a pot of my unique tea." Xu Zuoning was very happy to receive the recognition, "But now, I have to take my brother up quickly. Dad has been waiting for a long time."

"Brother, let's go."

Then, she hurriedly carried Xu Youan and his wife upstairs.

I drank a few sips of tea, then stood up and walked around the house casually.

The furniture is all old stuff.

These old objects will not lose their luster because of their age. Instead, due to the precipitation of time, they will reveal a more profound and unique charm.

Although it looks simple and has no complicated pattern decoration, I can't say what's good about it, but it feels very comfortable and even high-end.

There is no rigidity cut by machine tools, and every line reveals the dexterity of the craftsmen who have repeatedly polished it.

I heard that it was not easy to make a piece of furniture at that time. Not only were the materials expensive, but you also had to invite a carpenter to your home, which would take as little as two to three months and as long as one or two years.

With such a big house and so many furniture, it must have been a wealthy family in the past.

The family had good taste.

There are no fancy decorations, clean old floors, simple white walls, pillars with natural wood grain on the surface, and old furniture with the charm of time, which make up this simple and elegant house.

Open the window and you'll have a great view of the courtyard.

There is a large wooden tea table by the window, with classical tea sets placed on it, and the shelves next to it are filled with various tea jars.

I walked over and took a look curiously. Many tea jars had red paper seals on them, with the sealing time written on them with a black brush.

But the name of the tea was not indicated.

A faint fragrance came.

I moved my eyes back to the tea table.

In the middle of the heavy table, there is a small white porcelain vase with a bouquet of flowers in it.

Between the oblong green leaves, there is a small white flower.

Each flower has five or six petals, as white as snow, surrounding a yellow stamen as big as the petals in the middle.

A flower is about two centimeters in size, very small and cute.

I moved closer.

The faint fragrance is emitted by these little flowers.

"Tea tree flower."

I stood by the window and looked toward the courtyard.

Large tracts of half-person-high tea trees stand in the shadows, and when the night wind blows, they bring out bursts of fragrance.

It should be a good place, but it's a pity

I was sighing.

Several tea trees suddenly rustled and swayed twice, as if there was something inside.

"What?"

I craned my neck and looked for a while, but unfortunately the light was too dark and I couldn't see it.

Moreover, those tea trees returned to calm after shaking for a few times.

"Mountain animals?"

Just getting ready to go out and take a look.

Creak, creak——

I heard footsteps coming up the old stairs.

Looking back.

Su Ruoyi was seen walking downstairs carrying her small luggage bag with a disappointed look on her face.

His eyes were slightly red, as if he had just suffered a great injustice.
