C1162 Internal and External Inconsistencies
The old woman looked out from the inside. The man from her house had a straight face when he received this person. Why did his attitude suddenly change so much? He even asked her to bring out the best tea in the house.
He refused to move while leaning against the wall. At this moment, the people on the other side were getting impatient from waiting.
"Old woman, what are you doing? "First, let us welcome our guests with the matters in your hands."
After hearing her man say so, this old woman felt a little uneasy. After all, in front of outsiders, she knew very well that this should be giving her old man face, so she poured a pot of tea in front of the two of them.
"Alright, let's have a taste of this now, our new tea."
He poured a cup for Jiang Xiaobai from the teapot. After he said the cup of tea, the old man picked up the cup of tea and didn't continue to drink.
Seeing how hurt this old man was, Jiang Xiaobai was a bit confused. After all, people like them only bring out good tea when they receive important guests.
Such an opportunity was very rare. After the old man saw the tea, he clearly showed a hungry look. However, Jiang Xiaobai could see the reluctance in the old man's eyes.
"Uncle, if there's anything you need, you can come in and tell me."
"As long as I can help, I will not stand by and do nothing."
"Really?"
Hearing Jiang Xiaobai's words, the old man's eyes lit up. He did not expect Jiang Xiaobai to help him in this aspect.
"It can be said that these teas have a lot to do with this infectious disease. Originally, we had to collect all the tea leaves from the hundred acres of tea garden we produced this year, but now, only this small portion of the tea leaves have not been infected."
After this incident of infection, it could be said to be the most serious in our village. The old man's face was full of sadness.
Jiang Xiaobai could also feel this old man in his heart. Why would he show such an expression? After all, these tea leaves were like his own child's morality. When the child grew up, the child left his side.
"Uncle, can you take me to the teahouse to have a look if I'm infected?" Hearing Jiang Xiaobai's words, the uncle's heart tightened.
Seeing that the old man's expression changed instantly, Jiang Xiaobai knew that the request he made might be a bit inappropriate. It had become the most sensitive topic in the whole village, and the words he said now were obviously poking at other people's wounds.
"Uncle, it's alright. Just tell me the exact location of the tea garden." I can go and see it by myself. "
The old man's pupils dilated when he heard Jiang Xiaobai's words. He didn't expect Jiang Xiaobai to have such a thought.
Previously, he thought that even if Jiang Xiaobai had come under the orders of his highness, he could still just enjoy the show.
They were already used to people like Jiang Xiaobai. It was already very rare for Jiang Xiaobai to be able to do this, but he really couldn't bear to see such a young man die just like that.
"Brat, it's not that I don't want you to go there, but I feel that it's too dangerous. You don't need to use your life to joke around. If you were to really get infected by the virus, I wonder what would happen to you?"
After hearing his uncle's words, Jiang Xiaobai felt that he had been in this village for quite some time. In this village, other than a few other families that he could hear, the others were all quiet.
During the day, he knocked on the doors of the houses and found that there was no sound at all coming from the houses.
The old man let out a deep sigh as if he had something to say to Jiang Xiaobai.
"At first, I didn't want to tell you about this, but now that it has come to this, if I continue to tell you about it, I'm afraid you'll end up like them."
After saying that, the old man stopped talking. He waved his hand and brought Jiang Xiaobai to an extremely remote place.
Jiang Xiaobai had been in this village for quite some time, so he had a good understanding of the surrounding environment.
He knew it was a wilderness forest around the village, but the place the old man brought Jiang Xiaobai to was deep in the woods. Jiang Xiaobai didn't even notice it before.
"If you don't know the specific route of this forest, then anyone who leaves this forest will have their life cut off. This is also the main reason why I've been warning you not to enter this forest."
After what the old man said, Jiang Xiaobai still felt a little confused. He didn't know what the old man was going to do with him, and soon, the two of them arrived at their destination.
When the two of them arrived at their destination, the first thing that entered Jiang Xiaobai's eyes was a huge iron cage. In the middle of this steel cage, there was still a house that had such a design.
Jiang Xiaobai couldn't figure it out, but it seemed like there were traces of creatures destroying it.
The old man walked to the side of the cage and knocked on it with a wooden stick.
At this moment, Jiang Xiaobai heard that there seemed to be a house in the house. All of his attention was attracted to it, and what happened next astonished Jiang Xiaobai. There were a lot of people in the house.
This old geezer had a very ordinary expression as he handed out the rations to these people from the pouch that he had just brought.
Outside of this steel cage, these people could only go through it. Obtaining their food and looking at their current appearances, Jiang Xiaobai couldn't help but feel touched.
