Chapter 1248 Sleeping Beauty

I squinted my eyes and looked at the flowers that looked like eyes.

The fragrance of flowers is more intense, and after smelling it for a long time, my head feels a little dizzy.

I felt uncomfortable, rubbed my nose, and prepared to step back.

But at this moment, I suddenly saw that the soil under the tea tree seemed to be moving.

"Is there something down there?"

I pressed the flashlight down.

The cold white light shines on the foot of the tea tree. The soil is covered with withered yellow leaves. The leaves are shaking slightly, as if something is about to come out of the soil.

My eyes widened.

rustle--

The fallen leaves suddenly dispersed, and a dark head emerged from the soil. Its neck twisted and turned around.

"Brother Xiaofeng!"

Suddenly, a cold voice appeared behind me.

I was startled and turned around to see Xu Zuoning with an expressionless face.

"Sister Aning, it's you. You didn't make any sound when you walked. It scared me." I patted my chest exaggeratedly.

"You were too close to Camellia and didn't notice my arrival. I've called you several times." Aning waved to me, "Come here quickly, don't get too close there."

"What's wrong?"

I looked back again, and the human head under the tea tree disappeared, and the thick fallen leaves were spread on the spot, with no trace of anything getting out.

"Come here first, and I'll tell you later." Aning waved vigorously, with some anxiety on his fair face.

"I smelled the fragrance of camellia, so I walked closer without realizing it. What happened?" I walked up to her and asked doubtfully.

"If you just look at the camellias, just keep a distance of one or two meters. Don't get too close, especially the tea trees inside. The tea trees are different from ordinary ones. The fragrance of the flowers has the effect of calming the mind and calming the mind, but after smelling it for a long time, You will feel dizzy and uncomfortable, or even fall into coma.”

Xu Zuoning explained.

"If it's so dangerous, why plant it?" I asked in surprise.

"Brother Xiaofeng, this flower also has many benefits. Just like the poppy flower, it is a good medicine to cure diseases if used well, but it is a poison that kills people if not used properly."

Xu Zuoning smiled.

"Take an appropriate amount of this camellia to make a calming tea. It has a miraculous effect on insomnia and ensures you can sleep until dawn."

"Really? I have trouble sleeping. I often stay up all night. Can you try this flower?"

"Not now, the flower is not mature yet."

"Flowers also have a maturity period?"

"Of course, just like tea leaves have a picking period, only when picked at the best time can the best effect be achieved." Xu Zuoning looked at me.

"Brother Xiaofeng, if you really want to, you can stay a few more days. There are still a day or two before you apply the last fertilizer. The flower will be mature."

I nodded immediately: "Then I must stay a few more days. Does such an interesting camellia have a name?"

"This is a species that is not available outside and has no scientific name. We call it Sleeping Beauty."

"What a name. Sister Aning, you are really good at naming."

"Brother Xiaofeng, you are laughing at me. I am a girl from the mountains who has not read a few books. What do I know?"

Xu Zuoning smiled shyly, and after taking me for a walk in the courtyard, he said it was cold in the mountains at night and told me to go back to the house and stay there.

"Hey, sister Aning, is there someone there?" I looked up and vaguely saw a woman's face in the window on the third floor.

"where?"

Xu Zuoning raised his head and saw the direction of my finger, his eyes suddenly changed.

"No, you are wrong, let's go back quickly!"

"I really saw it. She was a lady with long hair. Is she your mother?" I said deliberately.

"No, you really saw it wrong!"

Xu Zuoning's face suddenly turned ugly. He grabbed my clothes and pulled me into the house without any reason.

"Sister Aning, what's wrong? There was a face just now by the window on the third floor." When we got inside, I continued to ask.

Under the dim light, Xu Zuoning looked a little uneasy.

"No one lives in that room at all." She hesitated and said softly.

"Ah?" I was shocked, "Then what did I see?"

"You must have seen it wrong. If you smell the fragrance of Sleeping Beauty too much, you might see something that doesn't exist." Xu Zuoning walked to the tea table.

"Brother Xiaofeng, come over and drink some tea to wake up."

With that said, she started making tea.

"You said what I saw was an illusion?" I walked over and sat down, looking at Xu Zuoning's fair and delicate face.

She made tea skillfully, but her eyes were evasive, even a little panicked.

"I think so, no, it must be."

"Let's have tea, Brother Xiaofeng."

She pushed the tea cup in front of me. The tea juice inside was clear and translucent, exuding a light and comfortable fragrance.

She herself also held the tea cup and took a few sips.

"Drinking tea late at night, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep tonight."

I picked up the teacup and took a sip.

After drinking the hot tea, the dizzy feeling in my head did fade a little.

But the woman's face on the third floor was definitely not my hallucination, because I had already seen it before going downstairs.

Xu Zuoning is hiding.

"Sorry, I should make you some soothing tea." Xu Zuoning smiled sheepishly. After drinking the tea, his panicked expression gradually returned to calm.

"It doesn't matter, I'm used to it." I took another sip of tea and praised, "The tea here seems to be particularly delicious."

"Of course, not only are the tea leaves different from those outside, the most important thing is the water."

"Oh? What kind of water is it?"

"Spring water is the clearest and sweetest spring water, so I call this tea Qingquan tea."

Having said this, Xu Zuoning stood up as if he suddenly remembered something.

"Oh, I almost forgot! There are so many people at home, and there is not enough water in the water tank. I should go get some water."

"It's so late for a girl to fetch water. It's too unsafe. How about I go with you and help you."

"No need, Brother Xiaofeng. I'm used to it. The road is very familiar and I can walk with my eyes closed. I know you mean well, but you are not familiar with us. I'm afraid that you will not only have to carry water, but also take care of you." you."

Xu Zuoning declined my offer.

I thought about it and didn't insist.

"Then I won't cause you any trouble. Do you want to ask your brother to come with you? After all, he is the male of the family, and it is his responsibility to do these heavy tasks."

"He hasn't been back for ten years. I'm afraid he has forgotten how to walk. Besides, he has been traveling all day today, so let's give him a rest first. He will have plenty of time to work in the future."

Xu Zuoning went to the kitchen and skillfully picked out two empty barrels with a pole.

I send her out.

"You are such a good sister. You consider your brother so much. He must be very touched when he finds out."

"I hope so."

Xu Zuoning's back trembled, the flashlight was hung on the pole, and he slowly disappeared into the night with the bucket.

After she was gone, I immediately went back to the house and went upstairs.

The more they want to hide something, the more I want to dig it out for them.
