Chapter 214: The King of Splendid Tea
Although Dahongpao is not a thousand-year-old tea tree like Jinxiu Tea King, the root system of a century-old tea tree is also extremely developed. Zhou Pan and Shi Liu worked carefully for several hours before they successfully transplanted it.
After watering the tea trees, Shi Liu was so tired that he didn't want to move at all: "Zhou Pan, go back first. I won't follow you around anymore."
Zhou Pan's mouth twitched. "Your physical strength is getting worse and worse. I remember you used to be able to cultivate an acre of land in one breath."
Shi Liu's limbs felt sore and weak, and he said weakly, "A hero never brags about his past achievements."
She said unkindly that when she first started her own business, she planted an acre of roses in one go to show off, and her old waist was almost broken from exhaustion. She went to a massage parlor for more than a month before she felt alive again. Of course, she couldn't tell Zhou Pan about such an embarrassing thing.
Zhou Pan shook his head helplessly: "Come here and lie down, I'll give you a massage, otherwise you will have muscle soreness tomorrow." Then he took out lavender essential oil and began to massage Pomegranate.
Shi Liu felt so comfortable from the massage that she asked happily, "When did you learn massage?"
Zhou Pan's hands kept moving: "When you ran to the massage parlor for a month, I thought about learning how to give you a massage in the future."
Pomegranate:"……"
She never expected that the thing she thought she had hidden well had actually been exposed long ago, which was embarrassing.
Zhou Pan looked at Shi Liu's red earrings, smiled and pursed his lips. Shi Liu's ears would turn red when she was shy. He had noticed this secret a long time ago, but he just didn't reveal it. He massaged Shi Liu with even force.
As the essential oil seeped into her, Shi Liu felt relaxed. Although she always thought the smell of lavender essential oil was average, it was really good as a massage oil.
Accompanied by the scent of lavender, Pomegranate slowly fell asleep.
Zhou Pan carefully covered Shi Liu with a silk quilt, then quietly left the space.
Soldier Wang Shi looked at Zhou Pan and said, "Captain Zhou, why did you go to Phoenix Mountain again? If the villagers knew, they would probably be unhappy." The last time one of them accidentally entered Phoenix Mountain, the villagers were scared to death, which really gave them a headache for a while.
Zhou Pan waved his hand and said, "Perhaps there's something wrong with the magnetic field of Phoenix Mountain, which is why everyone's spirits are abnormal for a while. Otherwise, how could I be fine? And Platoon Leader Wang was only confused for two days before he recovered. So don't take it too seriously."
Wang Shi felt relieved upon hearing this. He thought, if there really was a problem, Captain Zhou wouldn't be so stupid as to go there twice.
Then Wang Shi became curious again: "Captain Zhou, can you see anything wrong in Phoenix Mountain?"
Zhou Pan naturally couldn't speak directly, so he said vaguely, "Didn't everyone check it out at the beginning? There's nothing special about it. But maybe it's just my imagination, I always feel like there's a chilling wind blowing on Phoenix Mountain."
Wang Shi didn't think much of it, but instead said, "It's creepy to hear that Phoenix Mountain is covered with tombs, but we soldiers are used to it."
In fact, he was not the only one who felt creepy, everyone had this feeling. It was strange to say, after all, they were all veterans who had fought in the battlefield. Not to mention standing next to the tomb, some had even slept in the tomb. However, this was the first time that they collectively felt uncomfortable.
It was the platoon leader Wang who went crazy for two days. He had slept in a tomb before.
Of course, this is not because Platoon Leader Wang has any special hobby. He was just being chased too fiercely by the enemy. In order to escape, he hid in a desolate grave and finally fell asleep in a daze. Fortunately, Platoon Leader Wang did not have the habit of snoring, otherwise it is hard to say whether he could escape or not.
Zhou Pan followed Wang Shi into the village, wondering whether he should return to Hai City as soon as possible. After all, things here had been sorted out, and it was not a good idea to meet Shi Liu secretly all the time.
"Captain Zhou, Captain Zhou?"
"Oh, sorry, I was just thinking about something."
"It's okay. I was just asking when you plan to hand over your work."
"In the next two days, let's see when Platoon Leader Wang is free..."
Wang Shi smiled secretly. He heard that Captain Zhou's wife was now attending university in Hai City. The couple finally lived in the same place, but Captain Zhou was sent to the south again. No wonder Captain Zhou was always absent-minded sometimes. The newlyweds were very close to each other.
Zhou Pan didn't care. It was not shameful for him to want a wife. He just didn't believe that other people didn't want a wife. Oh, Platoon Leader Wang didn't want a wife, so he came here.
It's really annoying.
Platoon Leader Wang's wife was an educated youth, seven years younger than him. As soon as the college entrance examination policy came out, there was a quarrel in the family.
In fact, Zhou Pan thought that Platoon Leader Wang's conditions were not bad, except that his family was a little poor. However, his wife did not think so and wanted to return to the big city.
Platoon Leader Wang's mother was unhappy because she was worried that her daughter-in-law would not be able to get into college.
Platoon Leader Wang had gone to deal with a family matter before, otherwise the problem would not have been resolved.
Platoon Leader Wang had just gone through a mental breakdown and was now feeling rather exhausted. Upon seeing Zhou Pan, he said with lingering fear, "Captain Zhou, you're truly formidable. I dare not go into the mountains anymore."
Zhou Pan was still frightened when he thought of Platoon Leader Wang's crazy look at that time. If he were like that, he would be socially doomed.
Zhou Pan patted his friend comfortingly and said, "You're lucky. I heard many villagers died because of this. By the way, do you still have a headache? Do you have any other special feelings? You were so uncomfortable the past few days, and I didn't have the nerve to ask you."
Platoon Leader Wang was silent for a long moment, then whispered, "Although I looked crazy at the time, I actually remember everything I went through. I think the villagers who had accidents before also remember it, but no one is willing to talk about it."
Zhou Pan was immediately intrigued: "What on earth is going on?"
Platoon Leader Wang took a deep breath and said, "This sounds ridiculous. Maybe no one would believe it even if I told them."
"I saw a beautiful young woman chained to a rock. Flames kept rising from the ground to devour her. Her shrill cries still keep me awake."
"At first I only saw one person like this, but as time went on, I met many more men and women, and everyone was in a similar situation..."
Sometimes Platoon Leader Wang wondered if he was really crazy, otherwise why would he see those cruel scenes.
