Chapter 46
From March to April of the lunar calendar every year, it is the tea picking season in Langzhou. During these two months, except for some necessary livelihoods, almost all the women who are free in Langzhou City will put down their work and change their hands. Coarse clothes, everyone carried the baskets together and spontaneously participated in the tea picking work.

Qilan Mountain is located at the junction of the southwestern part of Langzhou and the state of Guizhou. It extends to the Liudu River in the east. Half of the Su family army in the state has been stationed here for many years.The protected mountain area is vast, with many peaks and relatively flat terrain. After years of climate surveys and soil improvement by Su Yan, this place has become a paradise for tea.

Every year, the first batch of tea picked within seven days after Qingming is the best among teas, and it coincides with Mrs. Su Bai Xueling's birthday, so she takes the word in her boudoir name and calls it "Lingshan Yunwu".

March [-]th is Mrs. Su’s birthday. Although Mr. Su has repeatedly emphasized that tea picking is more important than anything else, the people will still set aside a day to celebrate Mrs. Su after the first batch of tea picking is over. birthday.And this year is Mrs. Su's [-]th birthday, so it is naturally more grand than before.

Today is March [-]th, and the picking of the first batch of new tea is coming to an end. The tea trees on the mountain are busy and busy. Create a busy but happy atmosphere.

Bai Xueling, who also wore the clothes of a tea farmer, took off her gorgeous and soft neon clothes, and shuttled freely among the green tea gardens. There was a little sweat on her fair forehead, but she couldn't hide her joyful mood and beautiful face. And always optimistic attitude, so she does not look like a middle-aged woman.The tea garden on the mountain is so big that even if there are hundreds of tea farmers, if they are spread out, only a dozen or twenty figures can be seen in a single tea garden, and Bai Xueling, despite her husband Su Yan and son Su Che's strong opposition, She still couldn't hold back her desire to share the joy of the harvest with the people.

As dusk draws near, the tea-pickers, who had worked hard all day, gathered together in twos and threes with joy and laughter, showing off their hard-earned harvest.

"I don't know where Madam picked it? Has anyone seen it?"

"That's right, madam is not in good health, the little duke has told me not to make madam too tired."

"I seemed to see my wife coming behind me just now." A young tea girl took off her full pannier, wiped her sweat, and said uncertainly.

Everyone looked at each other in dismay, took off their carrying baskets one after another, looked around, and looked around, hoping to find that familiar figure in the endless tea garden.It's a pity that they are doomed to be disappointed, except for a patch of green, they can't see a single figure.

"Since there is no one here, let's go to the other side of the West Mountain to have a look?" someone suggested.

Everyone can only nod.

It took an hour to walk from Dongshantou to Xishantou. The women's army, who had been exhausted for a day, insisted on finding their wives despite being tired and hungry.But until the sun set and the night fell, they had already asked almost all the tea pickers on the mountain, but they still couldn't get a satisfactory answer.

Everyone finally realized a serious problem, their wife seemed to be missing.

The people in Langzhou City acted very efficiently, and the news was quickly reported to Su Che's barracks.

Su Yan, who was inseparable from his wife on weekdays, just went to the barracks to discuss with his son the military defense arrangement for the past few days. He expected that the defense on the mountain was so strict that it was absolutely impossible for outsiders to invade. The news of Madam's disappearance immediately made her anxious.

"Damn it! She shouldn't have been allowed to go up the mountain alone today." In the coach's tent, Su Yan, who was looking at the sand table with his son, regretted his mistake, got up and wanted to go outside, Su Che said: "Father, don't worry. "

Su Yan turned his head and said anxiously: "How can you not be in a hurry? Your mother is weak, if there is anything good or bad?"

The expressionless Su Che stood beside the table on the sand table and said, "Come here."

"Young master."

Su Che ordered: "Tell me about the specific situation, why did Madam disappear?"

"Yes. The girl picking tea on the mountain said that Madam was with them, but when they gathered at dusk, they found that Madam was nowhere to be found. They searched all over the east and west hills, and the soldiers guarding the mountain reported that they did not see Madam coming down the mountain. , and no strangers have been found on the mountain."

"Has there been a search on the mountain?"

"In the dense forest on the mountain, the tea garden has been checked everywhere, and nothing suspicious has been found."

Su Che said again: "The girls who pick tea are all arranged?"

"Yes. They are very worried about Madam and blame themselves."

Su Che nodded, waved his hands back, pondered for a moment, and said: "Father is going now, what else is there to do besides alarming everyone and making them more worried? Can we find mother?"

Su Yan looked at his son, hesitated to speak, but obviously couldn't hide his worry.

Su Che, who was dressed in a black military uniform, walked over, put his powerful hands on his father's shoulders, felt his worry and fear, and was also angry in his heart, "If the mother was taken away, the purpose must be to blackmail the child, then at least There is no danger right now, so don't worry, Daddy, let's figure out a way, my son."

"But Che'er..."

Su Che helped his father to sit down on the couch, "Father, if the person who took mother away escaped the heavy guards on the mountain and was not discovered, the martial arts must be very high, and the number of them must not be many, maybe only one or two people. You wait Here, don’t go anywhere, the barracks is the safest right now, my child will go to the mountains first.”

Su Yan got up: "Che'er, go with you for my father."

"No." Su Che said, "Father, we don't know whose hands Mother fell into. My son is just going to find out the situation. It's convenient for me to do things alone. Don't worry, I'll be back soon."

After persuading his father, Su Che put on a black cloak, ordered the whole army to be in martial law, and dispatched a most elite team to guard him outside the main tent, and went up the mountain alone.

Since the establishment of the Su Family Army, it has been a long time since anyone dared to bully the land of Langzhou so blatantly, let alone directly threaten Su Che's family.

No matter who it is, if he harbors malice and dares to touch Su Che's relatives, he will die without a place to bury him!
