Li Mai stood next to the soldier on the high platform and looked at the situation below. Suddenly he heard the cry of a baby. Following the sound, he looked around and saw a woman carrying a child on her back and being squeezed back and forth in the crowd. The child was still there. His face turned red from crying.

He flew off the high platform, squeezed into the crowd, protected the woman and pulled her out of the crowd.

After letting go of Ye Shiyu's arm, he realized that this lady had picturesque features and tender skin. She didn't look like a lady from a poor family. Li Mai said doubtfully:

"Lady, your child is crying behind you. You didn't even hear it. Are you still squeezing in the crowd?"

"Don't worry about it, I'm looking for a job." Ye Shiyu thought it was her last chance. She had to enter the salt field to get close to that bitch Lin Yunxi.

"You... the child is crying like this and you still...?" Li Mai was really speechless.

Ye Shiyu was too lazy to pay attention to Li Mai, and didn't want to coax Sister Zhuang, so she rushed forward again.

Li Mai couldn't bear it and grabbed the straps that tied her up to Sister Zhuang.

"Come back! Is there a mother like you? The child's voice was hoarse from crying, didn't you hear?"

"I can't find a job today, and she will starve to death tomorrow. What does it mean if her voice is hoarse from crying?" Ye Shiyu said and pushed forward again.

"Come back here. Hey, you are such a stubborn lady. Is there any problem at home?" Li Mai was very kind-hearted.

"Who would come here and be crowded with people if they don't have any difficulties? Is it easy for me to take care of the child?" Ye Shiyu glared at Li Mai. This man was so strange. Even if he didn't let her grab work, he was still mumbling.

"It's not easy for you to take care of your children, isn't it?" Li Mai glanced at the crying child behind him. Yes, who doesn't have some difficulties?

"I can carry the child on my back and wash the dishes for the craftsmen. I have both hands to work with. Isn't the Crown Princess very kind? She will use me." After Ye Shiyu finished speaking, she rushed forward again.

"The last three places are available." The soldier on the side who specially entered the names reminded everyone.

Ye Shiyu became anxious, shook off Li Mai's hand on Sister Zhuang's strap, and rushed forward.

"Come back here." Li Mai couldn't stand the child crying like that, so he pulled the child's sling again.

Ye Shiyu was stopped by him again and stepped on him hard. The pain made Li Mai gasp.

"Why are you still stepping on people like this?" Li Mai was speechless.

"I can't enter the salt field today, I just, I just..." Ye Shiyu didn't know what to say, and was too lazy to pay attention to him and continued to rush forward.

"Hey, I'm really convinced by you, come with me."

Li Mai thought that she must have some difficulties that made her attach so much importance to the recruitment of workers in the saltworks. It was considered a good deed. He grabbed the child's sling behind Ye Shiyu and squeezed towards the recruitment gate of the saltworks.

"Master Jun, this is someone from Yuncang Mountain. The Crown Princess has said that people from Yuncang Mountain will be preferred. Give her a spot." Li Mai pulled Ye Shiyu to the soldiers on the registration list and said.

The soldier glanced at Li Mai. Now it was spread in the army that Li Mai belonged to the Crown Princess. He also heard that the Crown Princess said that people from Yuncang Mountain would be given priority. He nodded.

"Okay, come and register." The soldier asked Ye Shiyu to register his name.

I saw Ye Shiyu writing the word "Li Yu".

In this way, Ye Shiyu successfully entered the salt field.

Li Mai took her into the salt field and was about to leave. Ye Shiyu hurriedly said:

"Brother, can I ask your name?"

"My last name is Li and my first name is Mai, Li Mai." Li Mai saw that the child behind her was still crying, but the cry was softer.

"Thank you Brother Li for your help just now. I don't know how to repay Brother Li." Ye Shiyu seemed to have heard him say that he should give priority to people from Yuncang Mountain. He seemed to be close to the Crown Princess. She was curious about who Li Mai was in front of her. who.

"There is no need to repay you. You should coax your child well first. It is your first time to be a mother. It doesn't matter if the child is crying like this." Li Mai felt sympathy for the woman in front of him, and he was puzzled.

"If I don't care about her crying today, wouldn't she be even worse off if she can't eat tomorrow?" Ye Shiyu said, unhooking her strap, holding Sister Zhuang in her arms and coaxing her.

"This girl is quite well-behaved. She stopped crying after being hugged." Li Mai found that the child was very well-behaved. Dolls in ordinary people's homes would not look so good-looking.

"She is very well-behaved, miss. Let's thank Uncle Li for bringing us into the salt field, okay?" Although Ye Shiyu felt that her life was hard, she was educating Sister Zhuang attentively when she was raising her child.

Sister Zhuang could hear her mother's happy tone, and she grinned.

"Hey, she seems to be able to understand what you are saying. She is a smart girl." Li Mai liked the young lady in front of him very much.

"She smiles at Brother Li because she likes him." Ye Shiyu said with a smile.

Li Mai seemed to hear something. He was stunned for a moment and scratched his head.

"Your name is Li Yu. You go to the kitchen first and prepare for the military men to check your family background. I'll be busy first." Li Mai said and was about to leave.

"Check your family background?" Ye Shiyu didn't expect that he would have to check his family background when he worked in the salt field.

"Yes, this is what the Crown Princess requested. You can go over there. I'm still busy." Li Mai still had a lot of things to do and he was in a hurry.

"Brother Li, can you not check it?" Ye Shiyu looked at him with aggrieved eyes.

Li Mai is a man, how can he withstand the coquettishness of such a pitiful woman? He stopped walking and looked at the lady in front of him doubtfully.

"Everyone who enters the salt field to work must be tested for family background and physical health. This is the order of the Crown Princess. No one dares to resist the order. Why don't you want to be tested?" Li Mai asked seriously.

"I...I was divorced from my husband's family. I don't want people to laugh at my background."

Ye Shiyu found a random reason. She looked at where the two of them were standing. They were behind a tent, a place where few people came.

After making sure that no one could see them, Ye Shiyu stepped forward and gently took Li Mai's hand.

Li Mai's blood froze instantly at this moment. Her hand was so soft, drawing circles in his palm, and it flashed through his heart like lightning, which made his heart tremble.

He was a big man, in his mid-twenties this year, and for the first time a woman flirted with him, he was stunned.

"Brother Li, help Yu'er, I will repay Brother Li well in the future." Ye Shiyu's voice was delicate.

"Stop it, I can't help you with this. You'd better go there quickly. If there are enough people, you won't be able to stay even if you want to."

Although Li Mai really wanted to be served tenderly by the woman in front of him, he could not betray the Crown Princess. His good days had just begun, and he could not be deceived by this woman of unknown origin. He believed that the Crown Princess's people would definitely find her. of the details.

After speaking, Li Mai took his hand away from her soft catkins and hurried away, leaving Ye Shiyu in situ with an embarrassed look on her face.

Ye Shiyu stamped her feet. She, the daughter of the prime minister, condescended to seduce a rough man, but he didn't fall for it. She was really angry.

How could she avoid having her identity checked? She couldn't think of a good way.

But thinking about the problem that the kitchen was going to be full, she quickly picked up her sister Zhuang and walked to the kitchen.
