Fairy Gourd Farm

Chapter 302 Saving the Royal Tea Tree

In fact, Zhao Lei has already got the branches of the Longjing imperial tea tree. His purpose of coming to Lion Peak has been achieved, and now he can go back to cultivate tea tree seedlings with peace of mind.

However, Zhao Lei was benefited by the old grandson after all, and he was ashamed to leave him alone to save the tea tree, so he decided to stay and help.

Seeing Zhao Lei coming out with a hoe, Old Sun couldn't help asking him, "Are you still leaving?"

Zhao Lei said helplessly: "I can't just sit and watch you busy by yourself, wait until you finish the work here before leaving."

There was a flash of appreciation in the old grandson's eyes, but he still said expressionlessly: "Alright, let's put this tea tree upright and plant it on the soil first, I don't know if it will survive."

Zhao Lei smiled and said: "Don't worry, as long as I'm here, these tea trees will not die."

The old grandson was not as optimistic as Zhao Lei, he just started working without saying a word.

Of course Zhao Lei would not stand by and watch, and hurried forward to help.

Old Suntou is really good at how to take care of these ancient tea trees. Under his command, Zhao Lei worked hard and quickly straightened the crooked tea trees.

Seeing that Zhao Lei was earnestly cultivating the tea tree, Lao Suntou nodded in satisfaction, picked up a pair of buckets from the Tea Immortal Temple, and walked to the path across the road.

Zhao Lei had just finished his work, and when he saw this, he asked loudly, "Old Sun, where are you going?"

"Pick water to water the trees!" The old grandson replied briefly, and walked forward unhurriedly.

Zhao Lei also knew that behind the Fairy Tea Temple, there was a spring, which was the usual drinking water of Lao Suntou.But the spring water is very small, barely enough to meet the needs of Old Suntou and the teahouse. It is definitely not enough to water the trees. No wonder the stubborn old man has to carry water.

Zhao Lei grew up in the countryside, so of course he knows that carrying water through mountain roads is not an easy job.The old grandson is not young anymore, if he falls along the way, it will be a disaster.

So Zhao Lei quickly caught up with Old Sun, took the pole and bucket from him and said, "You still tell me where to carry water, I can go."

The old grandson asked Zhao Lei suspiciously: "You can do it?"

"My hometown is also in the countryside, so it doesn't matter." Zhao Lei patted his chest and said, "Just tell me where there is water!"

Old Sun pointed to the small road in front of him and said, "Go along the road, when you encounter a fork, take the left road, and you will see a small river."

"Okay, just wait." Zhao Lei smiled at Old Sun, and trotted away with a bucket in his hand.

Seeing Zhao Lei's back disappear into the path, Old Suntou nodded slightly, with a smile on his face.

Zhao Lei walked a certain distance along the path. Seeing that there was no one on either side, he ducked into the bushes by the side of the road.He didn't want to go to the river to fetch water at all, but planned to use the spring water in the gourd space to water these royal tea trees.

After all, these tea trees have a history of hundreds of years and have special historical value. Zhao Lei thinks that they should be saved if they can be saved.

Although Zhao Lei has not been selfless enough to sacrifice the precious celestial dew to save these tea trees, but it is still willing to get some spring water from the gourd space to irrigate.

After hiding in the bushes, Zhao Lei took the wooden bucket into the gourd space with a thought, quickly fetched two buckets of spring water out, and then trotted back along the path.

Old Suntou was checking the condition of the tea tree, and when he saw Zhao Lei returning with water, he couldn't help asking in surprise, "So fast?"

Zhao Lei smiled and said: "I am young and have good legs, of course I can run fast!"

The old grandson didn't talk nonsense, but just motioned Zhao Lei to water the newly straightened tea tree.

Zhao Lei poured water skillfully, smiled and said to Lao Sun: "There is little rain this spring, why don't I simply go to fetch more water and water every tea tree?"

The old grandson glanced at Zhao Lei unexpectedly, nodded silently, and agreed to his suggestion.

So Zhao Lei walked back and forth several times, and finally watered all eighteen Longjing imperial tea trees.Of course, what he used was not river water, but spring water secretly pumped from the gourd space. The spring water also contained abundant aura, which must be good for these ancient tea trees.

After pouring water, Zhao Lei told Lao Suntou to go down the mountain to buy some food, and then drove back to Longjing Village.

Zhao Lei didn't know until he arrived at Longjing Village that the news that the [-] Longjing imperial tea trees on the mountain were almost stolen and dug up last night had spread. Both the villagers and the businessmen who came to buy tea were discussing this issue.

As soon as Zhao Lei returned to the rented homestay, the owner immediately greeted him and said, "Mr. Zhao, you were at the Tea Immortal Temple last night. Tell me what's going on!"

"Actually, it's nothing. It's just a group of people who came to steal the royal tea tree, and I was caught by Lao Suntou and me." Zhao Lei wrote lightly: "Then we called the police, and the police came to arrest those people."

The tea farmer nodded repeatedly and said, "It's not as simple as you think. I heard that this case has alarmed the leaders of the city. Knowing that the Longjing mother tree was almost stolen, the leaders were furious. They have instructed the police to solve the case as soon as possible. The mastermind behind the scenes!"

Zhao Lei smiled and said, "You are very well informed, you even know this."

"I didn't say this. It was said by Director Liu of the town's police station." The tea farmer said seriously: "I heard that those people have already recruited, and a boss from another province ordered them to do so. The boss gave them 80 yuan. , to dig back all eighteen imperial tea trees!"

Speaking of this, the tea farmer said indignantly: "Some rich people are like this. They think that everything can be bought with money, and it is really shameless to do such a thing!"

Zhao Lei nodded and said, "That's true, but since those who stole tea trees have exposed their boss, that guy must not be able to please him."

The tea farmer nodded and said: "Of course, I heard that the special investigation team flew to other provinces overnight, and has already caught the boss, and is about to bring him back for interrogation!"

Speaking of this, the tea farmer said to Zhao Lei with admiration: "I remembered, Director Liu also said, thanks to a young man who helped Lao Suntou deal with those bad guys who stole tea trees, that young man should be you, right?"

Zhao Lei smiled modestly and said, "It just happened to happen to me, so I can't sit idly by, right?"

The tea farmer nodded repeatedly and said, "Thanks to you, the imperial tea tree was not poached, and you have done a great job. By the way, how about the tea tree?"

"No big problem, it should be fine." Zhao Lei said his opinion, and then went back to his room with the excuse that he didn't sleep in the middle of the night on the mountain and needed to rest.

Because Zhao Lei made great contributions in this incident, the tea farmer was also very polite to him, telling Zhao Lei to ask for anything, and then go about his own business.

Zhao Lei carefully locked the door, entered the gourd space with a thought, and began to deal with the picked branches of the royal tea tree.
