Rainbow Moon Seeking Immortality
Chapter 11 Salt Bricks
On the mountain path, Wang Er carries two hares on his shoulders, with rabbit ears tied together, one in front and one behind.
Behind them were Wang Ergou and Li Liu, who could not stop boasting and admiring:
"As expected of Brother Wang! Our village must have the best hunting skills. We can catch rabbits and wild boars with ease, right?"
"What are you talking about! Don't you look at who our second brother Wang's father is? That's Mr. Wang. He was once a great hunter with a radius of hundreds of miles. He is famous and known to everyone!"
The two of them just sang and harmonized. The words were not very colorful, but they were plain and straightforward, but they also got into Wang Er's heart. He listened silently, with the corner of his mouth slightly raised.
Young people are always proud!
Afterwards, the two began to take stock of the hunting craftsmanship in the village.
It was nothing more than Li Liuti and his family of hunters. When Wang Ergou mentioned a certain harvest, he immediately retorted and compared it with Wang Er's most glorious time.
After all, he still praised Wang Er in different ways.
Li Liu continued to preach, "Our second brother Wang is the most powerful hunter in the village, only a little bit worse than Master Jiang He Gu Master..."
"Um?!"
Wang Er's complexion suddenly changed, and he was filled with anger.
Wang Er, who was a little arrogant and self-confident after being bragged by the two one after another, heard Li Liu mention comparing himself with Jiang He and couldn't help but recall the humiliating scene in the forest just now.
"roll!"
Wang Er roared angrily, strode forward, and took the initiative to distance himself from the two of them.
Li Liu and the two looked at each other in confusion.
Seeing that Wang Er was about to leave, Wang Ergou stamped his feet anxiously, "Quick, give me the thing!"
Taking it from Li Liu, Wang Ergou immediately chased after him.
"Second Brother Wang, Second Brother Wang, don't be as knowledgeable as that guy Li Liu. It's not like you don't know that he's stupid." Wang Ergou complimented and raised his hand, "Here, look at this!"
When Wang Er heard the words, he stopped to check and saw that Wang Ergou was holding a square salt brick with crystal particles, yellow and white with red in it, tied with three straw ropes.
However, Wang Er knew that this salt brick had been sold in the caravans in Qingmao Mountain in the past two days. It was produced and peddled here from a village called Red Salt Mountain thousands of miles away.
Because the salt bricks produced are white and reddish, like red light, they are very attractive. They also taste like peppers and peppers, which can add flavor to dishes. Long-term consumption can also remove dampness and activate blood circulation. The effect is very popular among the copycats in southern Xinjiang.
The top-grade red salt bricks produced in Red Salt Mountain are as red as blood, compact and thick, heavier than an iron ingot of the same size, and have a smooth surface. They are known as red salt jade, and only Gu masters can afford them.
Such a red salt brick is just an ordinary item. One yuan stone can buy two salt bricks. It is also a big expense for a mortal family who is precarious and struggling to survive.
Realizing that Wang Er was thinking intently, Wang Ergou felt secretly happy. Without waiting for Wang Er to speak, he stuffed the salt brick into Wang Er's hand.
"This salt brick is intended to honor Mr. Wang. I also asked Brother Wang to take it with me. I will ask for advice after Mr. Wang recovers!"
After Wang Ergou finished speaking, he nodded and turned away.
Feeling the heavy salt brick in his hand, Wang Er sneered and stood up to return.
…
Inside the tall bamboo fence woven with green grass bamboo, there is a green vegetable field, and the remaining water drops are as bright as beads.
The bitter medicinal smell drifted away, accompanied by the crackling sound of burning firewood.
squeak--
The small door of the bamboo fence was pushed open from the outside to the inside.
A girl with big black eyes and snow-white skin poked out from the stove window.
The girl was overjoyed when she saw who was coming.
"Second brother is back!"
The girl hurriedly added two firewood to the stove and ran away.
He took the two hares and kneaded the fat rabbit meat on his abdomen through the thick down, his eyes shining.
"Second brother, I'm just going to make some rabbit soup to replenish my father's health. Then I'll try something else. Brother..."
When the girl said this, she looked around and her voice became low, as if she was afraid of being heard by others.
"It's okay, Wang Ergou and the others didn't come today. I drove them back." Wang Er raised the salt brick in his hand, "They gave it to me!"
The girl frowned slightly, with a complaining tone, turned her back to the wooden house, and whispered sideways:
"Second brother, dad said that Wang Ergou and Li Liu have a bad reputation in the village. If you don't listen to them when I ask you not to be with them, you can't let them into the house. That Wang Ergou quietly said last time Looking everywhere makes me feel uncomfortable..."
"Oops! Stop, stop, stop!" Wang Er felt as if his own father had arrived when he heard these words. He started talking nonstop, and his ears hurt.
"They just want to learn the hunting skills from dad, get more game, and support their family! They don't have that much thought. Besides, what else can they do with me here? Humph!"
Wang Er shook his body, raised his long bow, grasped it with his right hand, made an archery gesture, and said with disdain.
But the girl didn't take this trick, rolled her eyes and sneered, "Ah, right, right!"
He reached out to grab the salt brick and turned to leave.
"I'm going to go and make some medicine for dad. You can see dad..."
Watching the girl walk into the house and fiddle with the kitchen knife, Wang Er shrugged and shook his head, "If you keep nagging like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to find my husband's family!"
In the kitchen, the girl skillfully completed shaving, cleaning, cleaning, and cutting...
The pressure of life failed to crush her, but she became more and more able to advance and retreat with each trial.
Everything is going on in an orderly manner!
Suddenly, a dark shadow quietly sneaked in from the window, curled up into a tower, and then dispersed, revealing a human form.
He has a lean body, powerful arms, dark yellow skin, and a middle-aged appearance in his thirties, no different from an ordinary farm man.
The only slightly awkward thing is that the left foot wearing straw sandals is missing three toes.
Quietly watching the girl in front of him busy in front of the stove, Wang Da was very pleased and a little nostalgic.
"Brother?!"
The girl was turning sideways to get the seasoning, when she suddenly noticed the man who was a little distracted and said in surprise.
"Well, you get busy first. I'm going to see dad. I picked a few herbs on the mountain and asked my second brother to sell them to the village in exchange for some Yuan stones!"
The girl smiled like a flower and nodded, "Okay, the food will be ready in a moment!"
After Wang Da walked out of the kitchen, the girl opened the stew pot, steam rose, and added seasonings one after another to taste the taste.
"It's okay, it just needs salt."
He smacked his lips, thought about it for a moment, turned his eyes to the salt bricks by the window sill, and thought about it.
"Just right, that's it!"
Pick up the kitchen knife and cut the straw rope.
Once, twice, three times, the salt bricks shattered and turned into broken salt blocks of different sizes. It's just that in addition to salt blocks and powder, there are also a large number of stones, which add up to a small amount.
The girl was already used to it, she secretly cursed the profiteer, turned around and continued to work.
Outside the house, after visiting their father who was ill in bed, brothers Wang Da and Wang sat next to each other and chatted casually.
Wang Er told his eldest brother about meeting Jiang He in the forest.
"Brother, when can I become a Gu Master and no longer need to be inferior to others?"
Wang Er looked up to the sky, recalling Jiang He's military robe and belt symbolizing his cultivation, and secretly envied him.
The tone didn't sound like a question, but more like a sigh.
Wang Da on the side didn't respond, he just put his arm on Wang Er's shoulder and patted him gently to show comfort.
It's not that he hasn't helped his brother search for it, but the Hope Gu necessary for enlightenment has never been collected in the wild...
For a long time, Wang Da took the initiative to talk about his experience of encountering wild beasts during hunting in the wild, hoping to relieve his brother's melancholy.
After listening for a while, Wang Er suddenly recalled something and turned to look at Wang Da, seriously, "Brother, I remembered that the mountain leopard killed by Jiang He didn't seem to be using the moonlight Gu of the Gu Yue clan. He himself He wasn't injured at all, and he should have a defensive Gu insect in his hand."
Through Wang Da, Wang Er knew a lot of common sense about Gu masters' practice, so he could speculate on some information.
"Well, I know this!" Wang Da looked solemnly, "He has a level 1 wood armor Gu in his hand. I heard before that he ordered people to cut down the wood, maybe to prepare the material for the upgrade. It should be upgraded to level 2 now. Bar!"
"Then...brother, if you and Jiang He really fight, how sure are you?"
Seeing Wang Er's face eager to try, he was extremely looking forward to it and thought for a moment.
If he takes the initiative to make a sneak attack, with the strong poisonous power of the second-turn love separation, he may not be without power.
With this in mind, Wang Da slowly said:
"Uh, let's do it fifty-fifty!"
…
At the dinner table, the family was having a good time, and Wang Da even drank wine with his father.
Looking around at the table full of dishes, the little girl who was coaxed by her brother to drink wine, but spit it out in one gulp and called it a bad drink, was quarreling with Wang Er.
Beside him was a sleepy father, drinking and chewing peanuts.
very nice!
Wang Da suddenly felt a burst of sadness in his heart, recalling his beloved wife - it would be better if Wan'er was here too!
Suddenly, the death of my beloved wife was still in front of my eyes, my eyes were moist...
Wang Da gritted his teeth and tried not to shed tears in front of his family. He turned his head to the window sill and pretended to cough, choking on his mouth.
Suddenly, he glanced at the small pile of stones by the window, and his eyes flashed slightly.
He stood up, raked through the small pile of stones, and finally took out a stone with dark green patterns and placed it in the palm of his hand.
"Brother, what's wrong?" When the girl saw this, she asked weakly.
"fine!"
Wang replied with a big smile.
It’s just that the palms holding the stones became tighter and tighter...
