Tea Merchants of the Song Dynasty

It is not long since the Chinese New Year, and although the weather is getting warmer, it is still chilly.

Especially in the mountains, when the wind mixed with water mist blows, your face will turn red from the cold.

Fortunately, it was almost noon and not as cold as in the morning.

Jiang Yin gathered his cloak, looked up at the mountain guard and said, "Uncle Mo, are Second Mother and the others here?"

Guarding the mountain is an important job. If it were someone else with ulterior motives or someone irresponsible, they would have probably let Shen Gan go into the mountain.

Fortunately, Uncle Mo is an old man in the Jiang family. Since my mother took over the Jiang family, he has been here as a mountain keeper. For more than ten years, there has never been a problem.

Even though this area of ​​mountains is connected to other mountains, people can come here from other mountains. But under Uncle Mo's management, few people can get around, except for this accident this year.

This year's accident came suddenly, catching the Jiang family off guard.

This long-planned conspiracy also made Uncle Mo feel extremely guilty and remorseful. He moved directly to the mountain pass and guarded it personally.

After hearing her question, Uncle Mo, who was still stunned by her behavior just now, came to his senses.

He said with a complicated expression, "They are on the mountain. If you want to find them, just go up the mountain. Or wait here. They will come down for dinner later."

I originally thought that it would take some effort to persuade the young lady not to let others enter the tea mountain, but I didn't expect that I was worrying too much.

My dear girl, you are not as useless as they think.

Just for a moment, he actually saw the shadow of her mother in the young lady.

Jiang Yindang didn't notice the complexity in his eyes, and just nodded and said, "I'll go up the mountain. Uncle Mo, please guard the mountain pass. Without my personal consent, no outsiders may be allowed in."

She must try her best to eliminate all hidden dangers and not allow the situation to get any worse.

Uncle Mo paused for a moment and asked uncertainly, "Even the second master of the Zhang family and his son can't do it?"

"No!" Jiang Yin refused, "We must especially be on guard against them and the other three families."

They are all people who are eyeing her Jiang's tea mountain. It would be strange if anything good came of their coming.

Uncle Mo was a little surprised, but he still nodded and agreed: "Don't worry, young lady, unless you step over my dead body, no one can force their way in."

Jiang Yin paused after taking a step, then turned around and looked at Uncle Mo, saying seriously: "You don't have to lose your life, your safety is the most important. At this critical moment of life and death, Uncle Mo must prioritize saving your life."

As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood. Nothing is more important than life, and the loss can be exchanged with money.

Uncle Mo was slightly shocked, then smiled and said, "Don't worry, go quickly, young lady. The mountain road is not easy to walk on, so walk slowly on the road."

However, if someone really endangers the tea mountain, he thought that the Jiang family would put the tea mountain first.

Jiang Yin didn’t know what Uncle Mo was thinking, let alone what most of the Jiang family members were thinking.

If she knew, she would have to give these people a good talk.

If you have already lost your life, how can you stop the bad guys? The real thing is to save your life.

Although the Jiang clan members were somewhat dissatisfied with her and somewhat worried about her management of the Jiang clan, their hearts were generally good.

Of course, there are also people with evil intentions, but they are a minority after all, and she doesn't want the Jiang family to be exterminated again like in the previous life.

While thinking, Jiang Yin and Xiao Luo followed Wang Heng and soon set foot on the mountain road leading to the halfway point of the mountain.

Shangqing Peak is not steep, but rather gentle on the whole, so walking on the mountain road is not tiring.

However, after walking for a while, Jiang Yin didn’t see anyone else.

She looked strange and said, "When I came here with my parents in the past, the tea mountain was full of our Jiang family members. Why is there not a single one today? Have you noticed anything unusual?"

It's not normal, it's too abnormal. There's not a single person in sight in the whole mountain and field. It feels weird no matter how you look at it.

She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that something was wrong. Or maybe the tribesmen in the mountains got the news and deliberately avoided her.

Wang Heng looked around, then retracted his gaze, frowned slightly and said, "Madam, please wait here, I will be back soon."

After saying that, he used his lightness skills to quickly fly to the top of the tea mountain.

Xiao Luo held Jiang Yin's hand, looking around alertly, and comforted her: "Don't worry, my lady, maybe they are all at the top of the mountain, or they have already come down the mountain from another way."

It was already lunchtime, and there was more than one way to the top of the mountain. It was normal that I didn't run into anyone on this road.

Jiang Yin nodded and said absentmindedly: "I hope I'm worrying too much."

Ever since Lian Lu's assassination, she has become sensitive and suspicious.

She would feel there was something wrong if there was anything slightly wrong.

She pursed her lips and continued walking halfway up the mountain. She had been delayed for so long, she hoped the problem would not escalate.

Xiao Luo quickly pulled the person back and said, "Madam, Guard Heng asked us to wait here."

She was not good at fighting, and Wang Heng was not around. If she ran into a gangster later, what would she do? It would be better to listen to Wang Heng and wait for him to come back.

However, Jiang Yin shook his head and said indifferently: "This is our Jiang family's tea mountain. What do I, a member of the Jiang family, have to be afraid of?"

If there is any accident, it will be related to her as the head of the family.

She insisted on continuing to walk up the mountain. Xiao Luo couldn't persuade her, so she had to follow her step by step to the halfway point of the mountain.

The entire tea mountain is planted with tea trees from top to bottom, and it looks so vibrant.

Jiang Yin felt the fragrance of the tea trees and observed them as he walked, stopping from time to time to check and startling a few birds.

In this environment, she quickly forgot her previous worries.

However, before she reached halfway up the mountain, she suddenly stopped.

She turned her head and looked somewhere among the tea trees, then walked towards that place.

Xiao Luo followed her gaze and asked worriedly and vigilantly, "What's wrong, my lady?"

"Shh~" Jiang Yin raised his hand to stop Xiao Luo from saying the next thing, and walked towards the tea trees with his back hunched.

Xiao Luo also became nervous when she saw this. She pulled Jiang Yin's sleeve, not wanting her to go any further.

Jiang Yin shook his head gently, indicating that she was fine.

Seeing that it was hopeless to stop them, Xiao Luo simply switched places with Jiang Yin and walked in front to lead the charge.

Jiang Yin felt a little warm in his heart, so he simply followed Xiao Luo's wishes, but kept his eyes on the front at all times to avoid any emergencies.

She originally noticed some strange noises here, so she came over to take a look.

But now there was no movement at all, which made her wonder if she was too suspicious.

Just as I was thinking this, a few tea trees in front of me suddenly trembled, making sparse noises.

Not only did she notice the movement, but Xiao Luo also noticed it.

The two felt a chill down their spines and instantly froze, unable to move.

After the noise stopped for a while, the two looked at each other and continued to move forward cautiously.

However, as they approached, noises came from the tea trees again.
