"Tait—"

"Hosh--"

The sound of the wooden clogs touching the quiet bluestone road lasted for a long time.

Situ Xuan had been following the woman in Muyi clothes in front for a quarter of an hour.

But he still did not walk out of this bamboo forest.

The bluestone path winds upwards, with dense bamboo seas on both sides, which makes people feel like they are in a certain mountain forest.

But in fact, this place is clearly the most prosperous area in Dongjing, the capital and port area.

In the bustling urban area with tall buildings, there is such a place that covers a vast area like being in a towering mountain, which is probably unimaginable to many people.

After walking for a few more minutes, my vision gradually became wider.

Situ Xuan stood on the bluestone steps and looked up. He had already seen a man in blue-gray clothes facing the steps with a crutch in his hand.

"Grandpa--" Situ Xuan accelerated a few steps.

When he walked up completely, Situ Xuan looked around and then he realized that this was the open-air platform of the house.

Standing here you can see the tall buildings and bustling streets outside.

After a moment of thinking, Situ Xuan understood the design principle of this house.

The bamboo forest just now all extended from the ground. In this prosperous area where every inch of land was valuable, my grandfather used the design concept of extending downwards to open up the underground area of ​​the house, so that there were different scenery.

No wonder from the outside, this is just a three-story villa.

If it weren't for coming in and walking around, even Situ Xuan wouldn't have thought that there would be another world inside.

"How is it? How is the grandfather designed it here?"

Ding Ze walked forward with a crutch, and made a wooden tatami on the wide rooftop with a square table and two futons.

The kimono woman who led the way just now had already knelt at the square table and started making tea.

"Grandpa, I came to see you last time. I remember you were not here." Situ Xuan took off his shoes and sat cross-legged on the side of the square table and said.

Ding Ze nodded and sighed: "Yes, I lived in Kagawa last time. But... I am older, it is more convenient to live here."

"Well. The transportation here is indeed very convenient." Situ Xuan responded.

"I heard from your mother that you were dating a girl, why didn't you come together this time?" Ding Ze asked curiously.

Perhaps because of his long-term living in the island country, Ding Ze's tone was full of strong island country accent.

Although he was asking about family matters, Situ Xuan could not feel the closeness between his relatives.

The somewhat awkward and stereotyped tone made Situ Xuan feel that he was taking notes at the police station.

"She still has studies and can't leave." Situ Xuan replied.

Ding Ze exclaimed, "Well, the motivated girl is very good. Whose socialite is she? Maybe her father and I know each other."

"Well...she is an ordinary girl."

Situ Xuan had already prepared for being asked about An Mu's family background.

So, he was not surprised at all when he heard Ding Ze ask this question.

"That's how, does your grandma know about this?" Ding Ze asked with a serious look on his face.

"I know. She has approved it."

Ding Ze's eyes widened, showing an exaggerated expression of surprise: "I didn't expect that the Situ family was so enlightened? When I heard your mother talk about it last time, I thought she would strongly object."

"Well. Grandma does agree." Situ Xuan answered simply.

"Master, the tea is ready, please use it."

At this time, the woman who made tea placed two cups of tea with respect in front of Ding Ze and Situ Xuan.

"Axuan, are you exhausted when you came up just now? Take a sip of tea." Ding Ze pointed to the tea cup on the table and said politely.

Situ Xuan looked at the green and turbid tea soup in the cup, and suddenly thought of the tea made by An Mu, and simply said, "I'm not too thirsty."

"What? Do you don't like drinking tea?" Ding Ze asked in confusion.

"That's not. It's just that I prefer the way to make tea in Z. country, and I don't like tea soup." Situ Xuan replied.

Ding Ze put down the tea cup in his hand and said, "The tea culture of the island country is the world's number one, and this teacher Hongye is a tea master who won the gold medal in the Three Realms Tea Party. Most people can't drink her tea."

"Grandpa. If you talk about tea culture, I still think that tea culture in Z. is the best. Don't forget... This tea leaves come from the Dongying small country from Z.," said Situ Xuanang.

Another reason why he didn't like to come to his grandfather's place was that Ding Ze highly praised the culture of the island country.

But Situ Xuan did not agree.

Every time he heard Ding Ze praising everything about the island country, Situ Xuan felt a sense of disgust.

"A Xuan! Although tea comes from Z. Country, the real tea ceremony is flourishing in this soil!"

Ding Ze stood up, pointed to the surrounding high-rise buildings, and exclaimed: "This is a magical land, the wisdom of the people here, they know how to make the best use of something, and they also know how to appreciate the preciousness and dross, here..."

"Grandpa, when will the Dugang Night be held?" Situ Xuan interrupted Ding Ze's words.

If Ding Ze is allowed to continue talking, Situ Xuan cannot guarantee that he will have good patience.

“Tomorrow.”

"So, can I go and rest?"

Situ Xuan stood up and asked politely and alienatedly.

"It's OK. Let's have a meal together when your uncle comes back later?" Ding Ze said with some disappointment.

"Yes." Situ Xuan nodded and said, "Then please send someone to take me to a resting place."

"Asi, take my grandson to rest." Ding Ze shouted.

At this time, a young man in a black suit walked in from outside the rooftop door and respectfully made a "please" gesture to Situ Xuan.

Situ Xuan thought he was going to go down the mountain, but he didn't expect that this man named A Si took him into the villa and then went directly into the elevator.

"Can you take the elevator from below?" Situ Xuan asked in Mandarin.

"Yes." Aji replied.

Since you can take the elevator up, why did my grandfather ask him to walk the mountain road for so long?

Could it be that it was to let him visit the bamboo forest?

Situ Xuan's deep eyes gradually became cold, and the only thing he could think of was the cup of green tea.

After walking for so long, most people will drink water to quench their thirst?

But, what's the mystery of that cup of tea?

A Si took Situ Xuan to a guest room on the second floor and left.

Situ Xuan opened the wardrobe and looked at it, the coldness in his eyes became more and more obvious.

When he came here, he was told that he could not carry any luggage, but now...

...

Ding Ze sat down again and looked at the cup of tea that had not been moved on the table opposite, and felt very upset.
