"Smelly woman, let's see if I don't beat you to death!"
The more Wang Le thought about it, the angrier he became. He got up from the ground and raised his fist at Li Yuyan.
"boom!"
The next second, he was kicked to the place where he got up just now.
This time, it was Lin Xiao who made the move.
With the original owner's resentment towards Wang Le, she kicked him violently out of anger.
Wang Le had no chance to stand up and resist.
The village women who were watching the excitement were dumbfounded.
Is this still the cowardly little Linzi in their eyes?
"Stop fighting, he can't bear it anymore!"
Li Yuyan was afraid that Wang Le would not help but beat him. If he beat Lin Xiao to death, he would have to pay for his life. Who would make the salt and sell it for money?
He pulled Lin Xiao aside, and Wang Le took the opportunity to roll and crawl out of the yard.
Wang Le, who was beaten into a pig's head, was very unconvinced. He stood at the door and shouted to Lin Xiao:
"Sissy, just wait while I wait, I won't be able to spare you two!"
"Who can't be spared?"
After yelling, Wang Le was about to leave, but he happened to be bumped into by the village chief who was pushing the salt stone back.
Wang Le knew that he was in the wrong, so he had no choice but to leave in despair.
"Village chief, why are you here in person?"
Lin Xiao quickly greeted him with a smile.
"Since I have accepted your hard work, I must arrange the work properly."
The village chief directed the villagers to pile salt stones in the corner of the yard, and then led the villagers to continue to collect goods.
When the village women who were watching the excitement saw this situation, they all wanted to ask Lin Xiao what he wanted to do with the poisonous salt stone.
But when I thought about the terrifying look of Lin Xiao and his wife beating Wang Le together just now, their backs went cold. No one dared to come forward to ask, so they had to go back in dismay.
The salt and stone shipments came back, and Li Yuyan quickly lit a fire to boil water.
When the village chief and others brought back the second batch of salt rocks, Lin Xiao's salt had already been prepared.
In this way, after working until midnight, Lin Xiao finally made nearly twenty kilograms of salt.
He put the salt into bamboo tubes, one pound of salt per bamboo tube, keeping both freshness and quantity, the best of both worlds.
Early the next morning, Li Yuyan sent most of the salt to Zhou Dajun's house in Zhoujia Village.
Another small amount of salt was delivered to Ma Guihua personally by Lin Xiao.
After getting the salt, Ma Guihua and the village chief immediately set off to sell it at the grain and oil store in Jiuzhou City.
Lin Xiao, who came back from the village chief's house, saw that Li Yuyan hadn't come back yet. She was bored and went to the mountain to chop bamboo alone with a machete.
She wanted to make some bamboo salt to use as toothpaste, otherwise she always felt that she didn't brush her teeth and it was unhygienic.
When passing by the river, I met a group of village women washing clothes.
They pointed at Lin Xiao. Obviously, the series of things that happened yesterday had spread in the village.
If you were surrounded by this group of village women asking questions, you would probably have a bit of a headache.
So she quickly turned around and went back.
Decided to take the path up the mountain.
The paths were covered with thick weeds, and it would have been difficult to move forward had it not been for a machete to clear the way.
I wanted to chop down two bamboos and go home, but I climbed up the mountain and couldn't find any bamboo.
Is there no bamboo in the back mountain?
Just as she was wondering, she vaguely heard the sound of huge waves crashing on the shore not far away.
There is not even a deep lake here, let alone the sea, so how can there be the sound of waves?
Lin Xiao was very surprised and felt something was wrong in his heart.
There is no sea or deep lake here, let alone the sound of waves!
So where did the sound come from?
There is only one possibility: what she heard was not the sound of waves, but the sound of some giant creature!
The first thought that flashed through Lin Xiao's mind was the giant python!
She once saw a collection about giant pythons on a short video platform. One of the episodes was about the sound made by giant pythons being the same as the sound of ocean waves.
Being alert by nature, she immediately turned back the way she came.
As soon as we arrived at the foot of the mountain, we saw a group of village women who were about to go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables to improve their food.
Do you want to remind them?
Lin Xiao was very confused.
Remind them that they have no evidence and are just relying on their own guesses, so they may not believe it.
What if they are so narrow-minded that they think they are doing this to prevent them from going up to the mountains to dig wild vegetables, and they will not be able to arrange themselves to death in the future?
If you don't warn yourself, if you are eaten alive by a giant python, you will be condemned by your conscience for the rest of your life.
Lin Xiao was still struggling, and several village women who had been watching the excitement in front of her house yesterday gathered around her.
"Xiao Linzi, you are so brave, you actually beat up that little brat Wang Le, you are a man!"
"By the way, I heard from the boss that you hired people to move all those poisonous salt stones home. Can you tell Auntie what you want to do?"
"It's definitely not for bandaging, Xiao Linzi, please stop hiding it and tell Auntie!"
"Yes, just tell us!"
…
Facing the eager eyes of the village women, Lin Xiao took a deep breath and slowly said:
"Now is not the time. When the time comes, I will naturally tell the aunts."
The village women were obviously not satisfied with this answer.
They felt that Lin Xiao deliberately did not tell them the secret of her fortune.
"My boss is right, scholars are really full of evil thoughts!"
"Xiao Linzi, you have disappointed the aunts too much!"
"Isn't that right? Are you afraid that we will take away his job?"
…
The village women's words to each other made Lin Xiao see what it is like to be afraid of people's words!
After the village women finished scolding Lin Xiao, they continued up the mountain with their baskets in hand.
Lin Xiao quickly ran to the first few village women and stopped their progress.
"Xiao Linzi, what are you doing?!"
"There may be dangers on the mountain, so you'd better not dig wild vegetables."
Faced with Lin Xiao's kind reminder, the village women, instead of being grateful, felt that Lin Xiao had ulterior motives.
"Hmph, you said it was dangerous when it was dangerous? Let me see, is there a secret for you to make a fortune hidden in this mountain? You didn't want us to find out, so you deliberately lied to us?!"
"Bah! You are still a scholar! You are so evil-minded!"
"Xiao Linzi, you make your fortune while we dig our wild vegetables. Our wells don't interfere with rivers, so why do you have to make trouble with us?"
The faces of the village women were full of doubt and contempt.
If a person stubbornly seeks death, even a few cows will not be able to pull him back.
There was no point in talking anymore. Lin Xiao glanced at the village women, said "take care of yourself" and returned home with the machete.
Li Yuyan has returned from delivering salt to Zhoujiacun and is stewing the dried fish specially sent by Zhou Xiaojun and his wife.
If you want fish to taste delicious, salt is essential.
Precisely because it is difficult for the people to eat salt, they will not try to catch fish in the river unless they have to.
Now, Lin Xiao's family is free to eat salt, and this fish has naturally become an excellent source of protein.
“It smells so good!”
"You're back? You can eat later."
Li Yuyan continued to cook while greeting her.
Lying on a bamboo couch in the courtyard, Lin Xiao listened to the sounds of pots and pans coming from the kitchen and smelled the fragrant fish soup filling the courtyard. She felt as if she was in another world.
Do you believe in dreams?
I once saw a very touching little story.
It is said that there was a couple who loved each other very much, but unfortunately, the man was suffering from an incurable disease. Before he died, he asked his girlfriend to bite his hand, saying it was to make a mark so that they could recognize each other in the future.
After her boyfriend died, my girlfriend suffered for three full years.
