There are not many people walking on the mountain road, and it rained a few days ago, so it is not easy to walk, but for three well-fed children, this place is the most fun.

Although it is early spring, the grass on the ground has already sprouted. The goose-yellow grass is lying softly on the ground. From time to time, some strange small animals will shuttle through it, going back and forth.

This mountain is neither high nor big. It only takes one stick of incense to walk back and forth.

Ye Du and Ye Biao came here to play, but Ye Tan had a mission.

Ye Du thought it was delicious when he had a meal of fish for lunch, but Ye Tan thought it was something else.

It is unlikely for a fish in fresh water to have this phenomenon, so he planned to come over and have a look.

Along the way, Ye Du never stopped talking, while Ye Biao kept walking forward with his head down. If he saw a bird's nest or something, he would happily run over to have a look. Unfortunately, this is not a high mountain.

It's a good season. If there are any bird nests here, they are from last year.

Stopping at the source of the river, Ye Du looked at Ye Tan strangely and found that he was just looking at the source, not knowing what he was doing, while Ye Biao stood even more stupidly, looking around.

The small river is not branched from another big river, but flows out of the mountains, and there should be something like a cave below, because he just saw the shape of the water flow, the dry branches on it, and some withered yellow trees.

Weeds.

After talking to Ye Du for a few words, he asked them to find a random place to look for wild rabbits, and then he walked along the mountains.

That is to say, the current body, if it were the previous one, would not work at all.

He walked step by step, checking the shape of the mountain, and found that the mountain was covered here like a pot lid. Now there was no way to see it. While Ye Du and others didn't see him, he jumped down

, and went up to the top of the mountain.

Climbing high and looking far away, the feeling is indeed different. The spring breeze blows over the head, which is very comfortable.

But he didn't have that thought, but looked up.

I saw that there was a village not far away. It was blocked by a mountain from Yejia Village. No wonder I hadn’t seen it before. Although there were no giant trees on the edge of this mountain, it was covered with thorns. Because it was very deep, it was usually covered with thorns.

No one has the time to go over and take a look.

The village was about the same size as Yejia Village, but it looked more desolate. However, one thing was certain, it was probably close to the border, because he saw a herd of sheep on a grassland.

However, what he needs to see now is this mountain. He did not see any river flowing into it, which means that the water should be underground water.

Thinking of this, he walked down the mountain. When he landed, he felt something under his feet. He quickly dug down with the stick in his hand.

Just when he dug a hole for a while, Ye Du and Ye Biao came over and looked at him strangely.

"Ye Tan, what are you digging for?" Ye Du had just chased a rabbit, but after chasing it for a long time, he still couldn't catch it, while Ye Biao simply didn't move.

Feeling that the strength in his arms was dissipating, and hearing the voices of the two men, Ye Tan said happily, "Quick, dig here."

Ye Du just wanted to ask why. He looked up and saw Ye Tan's eyes, which were a little scary. He quickly started digging. Ye Biao worked with Ye Du. The two of them were very fast. The soil above was quite difficult to dig.

Yes, but when the color of what the two dug out was a bit gray-white, Ye Tan quickly asked them to stop, then reached out to pick up some gray-white particles and put them in his mouth.

Sure enough, it is salt. There should be a salt mine here. Although it is not big, it should be enough for the whole village. Although salt is not the most important means of production in the village, with salt, you can make

A lot of things.

Seeing Ye Tan's movements, Ye Du also wanted to taste it, but was stopped, and then said, "Let's go back."

The two of them watched Ye Tan filling in the hole they had worked so hard to dig, and were a little depressed, but they didn't say anything because on the way back, the two of them picked up a rabbit. It strayed and hit a tree. Of course,

Well, they didn't see the pebbles that just flew by.

When I was going down the mountain, I encountered another wild chicken whose eyes were covered by a branch and fell down. Anyway, I was really lucky today.

On the way back, Ye Tan actually caught a small deer alive, and he didn't know where it came from. Anyway, the three of them returned home with a harvest.

The fawn was quite disobedient at first, but Ye Tan stretched out his hand and patted it gently on the head. The free coins suddenly rose sharply, but the fawn seemed to be stupid and followed him home obediently.

After Ye Du returned home, Ye Wenwen was not there, but his father Ye Ji was. When he saw the hare in his son's hand, he was very happy. Hearing what happened to his son today, he also felt strange. However, Ye Tan

The fawn in his hand made him feel a pity, because although the hare was delicious, the fawn could be sold for more money, not to mention those with special needs. However, it was Ye Tan

He couldn't say anything about what he had caught. He just told his son that he could take Ye Tan to the market then.

In the evening, after Ye Wenzhang came back and had dinner with his son and his family, he took his grandson Ye Du to his yard to chat.

Just when Ye Du was talking about today's good luck, Ye Wenzhang always felt that something was wrong. When he asked what he was doing there today, he said he didn't know and dug a hole.

Just when Ye Du was dozing off, Ye Wenwen heard someone knocking on the door, put Ye Du on the bed, then got up and opened the door, only to find that it was Ye Tan.

"Ye Tan, why are you here?" Ye Wenwen was a little surprised, but he thought it was appropriate.

"Grandpa Ye, can I go in and talk?" Ye Tan asked softly.

"Come in." Ye Wenzhang looked at him deeply, then opened the door and let him in.

As soon as Ye Tan walked into the yard, he felt that this place was different from other places. It was very clean and nice. At least there were more houses than at home.

After entering the house, I couldn't help but smile when I saw Ye Du sleeping there stupidly.

"Ye Tan, what brings you here today?" Ye Wenwen asked, sitting by the bed. There were not many chairs at home, and Ye Tan was a child and was not qualified to sit on them.

"Grandpa Ye, Ye Du and I went up to the mountain to play today and found a place that should be salty." Ye Tan will not look down on such a person. Even if he is an old man and illiterate, he is also the patriarch of this place. He has been able to do it for so many years.

Those who persevere are not easy.
