Lei Lei, a member of the She tribe in the Northern Song Dynasty, made wild red fungus into tribute tea, which became famous both at home and abroad. Later, due to court disputes, he retired to the mountains and forests, leaving his last words before his death: "Bury me under the red carpet trees, I want to watch them sprout."
The ashes were buried in the soil, and the soul waited beside the tea for eight hundred years.
Huang Bainian, a young man in the late Qing Dynasty, kept vigil on the same wild red grass and saw him for the first time in the fog.
What's even more bizarre is that he discovered that he could travel through his soul in his dream - from Phoenix Mountain in the late Qing Dynasty to the Northern Song Dynasty eight hundred years ago. He saw the young Lei Lei protecting the tea tree from the mountain fire, saw him kneeling and holding tea in the palace but was despised, and saw him looking in the direction of Phoenix Mountain before he died.
But he couldn't speak.
He was like a transparent shadow, standing beside him, watching him make tea, run around, and grow old. He wanted to call his name, but his voice couldn't penetrate the eight-hundred-year barrier.
Until one day, Lei Lei suddenly turned his head and looked in his direction - that was the first time he "saw" him.
"Can you see me?" Thunder's voice passed through the fog and fell directly into his heart.
Huang Bainian nodded desperately, but was speechless.
Lei Lei's eyes were red, he smiled, and then cried:
"I've been waiting for eight hundred years... And finally I've been waiting for someone who can see me."
