"Chi Chi Chi." Ta Yun smelled the scent and jumped over, squeezed between the two of them, stepped on Ruan Jia's knee with one foot, stepped on Ye San's knee with the other, and then sat down.

The sky is full of stars, half a field of vegetables and a yellow chicken, two people sharing barbecue, and visitors who are peacefully hatching eggs in the haystack.

The aroma of food lingered on the tip of Ruan Jia's nose until he fell asleep and woke up the next day, but it still didn't dissipate.

He even vaguely sensed a different smell from the fragrance, which smelled like dew dripping on the agarwood in the middle of the night.

This smell lingered all the time, like a feather scratching Ruan Jia's heart, it was so numb to the bone, it made him want to stop and continue.

Because of this, Ruan Jia felt a little uneasy, especially when she saw Ye San.

He and Ye San were even forced to sleep before, and Ruan Jia took it very seriously.

Even when he felt that Ye San's attitude was not right, he was not very defensive, and when he was excited, he would still rush to hug Ye San, meaning "well done".

But overnight, he suddenly became sensitive, especially resisting physical contact with Ye San, to the point where he turned around and ran when he saw Ye San.

So this morning Ruan Jia hurried out after talking to Ye San, on the one hand to avoid Ye San, and on the other hand to really have something to do.

He ran out of oil and salt last night, this is a necessity, so he has to replenish it quickly.

He wouldn't bully children like Ye San did, of course he used legitimate means.

The proper way is to ask Mrs. Chen what to do.

When she arrived at Chen's house, she seemed a little out of her mind, and the first thing she saw Ruan Jia said was to ask him: "Did you hear any noise last night?"

Ruan Jia slept soundly last night, so naturally she didn't hear anything.

Chen's expression was still very worried, Ruan Jia couldn't help asking: "What's wrong?"

Mrs. Chen said vaguely: "I am old, I must have heard it wrong." Then she asked Ruan Jia, "What is Jia Jia here for?"

Ruan Jia told the truth, Chen's first reaction was of course to give him some of his own, but Ruan Jia firmly refused.

Chen had no choice but to say: "The village chief's house has a mill for oil extraction. Everyone will go to his house to extract oil when the rapeseed is ripe in June."

Ruan Jia thought to herself that neither the original body nor the Chen family farmed land, let alone rapeseed, where did they get the oil to eat?

When he asked, Mrs. Chen gave him a strange look: "Did you forget? I help Mrs. Liu spin silk to make clothes. Half of the clothes of the whole village are made by his family. The clothes can be exchanged for grain and rapeseed." Yes, then of course I have one too."

Ruan Jia understood, division of labor and cooperation.

But he doesn't know how to spin silk, and he doesn't know how to farm.Ruan Jia thought about his skills seriously, and felt that besides eating, drinking, having fun and spending money, the skills he could use were probably the so-called business management and investment finance that he learned in college.

And although he managed to get into a prestigious school, his father never expected him to inherit the family business. After all, his brothers and sisters beat him up in terms of ability, and Ruan Jia only needed to be a mascot, so he also Didn't study hard.

Of course, it is useless to study hard. This is not the era of capitalism, but a serious farming society.

Ruan Jia had nothing to do, and asked again, "What about the salt?"

Chen said: "All the salt in the village comes from the salt well in Wangshan Town, but the road is not good now, and I haven't been able to go out for a long time." He snorted again, "But I just said yesterday that there seems to be a well on the mountain. Abandoned salt well, they are talking about going to see it today, it’s just a coincidence that you came.”

Ruan Jia was overjoyed: "Then I will go too!"

Mrs. Chen clicked her tongue: "Why are you joining in the fun, just let Ye San go."

Ruan Jia hesitated, but said, "I'll go too."

"Where are you going?" Ye San's voice came from the door.

Ruan Jia's heart trembled, she looked back, and saw Ye San walked into the courtyard at some point, looked at Ruan Jia and said, "I guessed you were here."

Ruan Jia responded vaguely without looking at him.

Guessing that they were having an embarrassment, Chen didn't say much, just told Ye San what she had just told Ruan Jia.

Ye San nodded, "I'll go. Ruan Jia, you stay at home."

"What do you mean," Ruan Jia muffled, "You really think of me as a woman?"

Ye San paused slightly: "That's not what I meant."

Ruan Jia herself also felt bored, and even complained in her heart that she was making trouble for no reason, but the boredom couldn't go away no matter what.

The smell of agarwood became more intense, and Ruan Jia's heart beat faster and faster. Hearing Mrs. Chen say "they will meet at Mrs. Liu's house", she bid farewell to Mrs. Chen and went to Mrs. Liu's house.

Ye San carried the wooden bucket given by Mrs. Chen, and followed slowly behind.

Contrary to Ruan Jia, Ye San was in a surprisingly good mood, unbelievably good.

After he was 20 years old, his second elder brother rebelled and left the capital with his younger sister. After that, there was chaos both inside and outside the palace, and he was suffering from a strange disease.

And what he felt at this time was as if he had returned to his boyhood when he was walking around the streets, no, it was better than that.

The tip of his nose is full of sweet floral fragrance, so beautiful that he wants to float.

This good mood lasted until he reached Liu's door, and bumped into Tang Bai head-on.

After the conversation that day, Tang Bai did not appear in front of Ruan Jia as promised.

He originally thought that Ruan Jia wouldn't come to participate in the laborious work of filtering well salt, so when he saw Ruan Jia head-on, he couldn't help but look a little surprised.

But the surprise was fleeting, Tang Bai then smiled and said: "Ruan Jia, long time no see."

He didn't call him little Ruan Jia anymore, Ruan Jia felt a little strange, and was more relieved.

"Brother Tang Bai's family also lacks salt?" Ruan Jia asked.

Ye San stood quietly behind Ruan Jia, and glanced at Tang Bai.

Tang Bai smiled and shook his head: "It's the flood season. If you can't cross the river, you can't go to Wangshan Town. Many people in the village are short of salt. I heard that there is an abandoned salt well on the mountain, so I took them to see it."

Boss!

Ruan Jia's eyes were full of "wow", but Tang Bai coughed: "Let's go in, everyone is here."

He walked in first, and sure enough, there were already a lot of people in the Liu family's yard, about a dozen of them, all of whom were familiar faces from the spring plowing, and they seemed to be the strong laborers of the whole village.

Oh, there is one more, that is Liu Hou'er who keeps winking at Ruan Jia.

Although the Liu family is not a landlord, it is second only to the village head's family in the village.So every time Ruan Jia sees Liu Hou'er, he thinks he is a living, stupid son of a landlord.

The silly son continued to cheer himself up, and he looked very different among the adults who were full of preoccupations.

He even interjected with a chuckle: "If there is something, I'll break his leg!"

Ok?

Ruan Jia realized later: Did something happen?

Liu directly slapped her son on the back: "What nonsense!"

Liu Hou'er still refused to accept it: "Even if I can't beat the mountain ghost, my master can definitely beat it!"

Liu's eyes widened: "Who is your master? The surname Yang finally got lost, who are you fooling around with again?!"

What did Liu Houer want to say, Ruan Jia quickly interrupted him: "Mountain ghost? What mountain ghost?"

Everyone looked at him: "Didn't you hear the mountain ghost howling like that in the forest last night?"

Ruan Jia was stunned: "I didn't hear that."

Everyone: "We all heard it." They looked at Tang Bai again, "Did Brother Tang hear it?"

Ruan Jia thought that the boss believed in science but not in ghosts and gods. When asked him, he would definitely answer——

"I heard it." Tang Bai said slowly, "The voice is quite loud."

Ruan Jia:?

Tang Bai turned his head and asked Ye San: "Brother Ye, did you hear that?"

Ye San: "Yes."

Ruan Jia:? ? ?

Ruan Jia looked at the group of disturbed people and thought, I am deaf?

And even the boss said he heard about mountain ghosts, so could it be that this book is a world with ghosts?

He was dubious, Liu broke the silence, and worriedly said to his man: "I only disturbed the mountain ghost yesterday, so don't go to the mountain to dig salt well today."

Her man hesitated for a moment: "But we didn't offend the old man. Even if the spirit appeared last night, it wasn't angry at us. There must be no problem going up the mountain."

Mrs. Liu snorted coldly: "That's how you are! As long as it's good for you, you'll lose your life!"

Her man hesitated, after all, he had planned this trip for a long time, not only for the well salt, but also for the good firewood and game on the mountain.If you let him not go, you will not be reconciled.

Most of the men also thought the same way, fearing the anger of the mountain ghost, but also coveting the good things on the mountain.For a moment, I thought that provoking gods and ghosts is a serious sin, and for a while, I thought that even the mountain ghosts can't eat up all the things on the mountain, and it's okay to take some.

In the end, everyone turned to Tang Bai: "What did Brother Tang say?"

The village head is old, and Tang Bai has taken over most of the village's affairs in recent days, and everyone naturally expects him to follow suit.

Tang Bai looked up at the mountain, and finally said: "As long as we have respect in our hearts, the mountain ghost will naturally understand. Besides, we have been like this for many years, there is no reason to suddenly attack us."

All the men breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "Well said!"

Tang Bai's expression was gentle but powerful, with a reassuring temperament, all the men unconsciously relaxed, and quickly packed their things and prepared to go up the mountain.

Ye San was also fiddling with the bamboo pole and bucket in his hand, looking as if nothing had happened. For a while, only Ruan Jia fell into confusion.

Liu Hou'er ran over to comfort Ruan Jia: "Master... Don't worry, Brother Ruan, Master and I will protect you on the left and right, and the mountain ghost will not even touch a single hair of your hair!"

"..." Ruan Jia, "Do you also believe in mountain ghosts?"

Liu Hou'er: "Yes, why not. Every year in our village, we dance to the Great God to sacrifice to the mountain ghost, and it is very lively."

Ruan Jia: ...

Ruan Jia found that she couldn't explain clearly to him, so she endured for a while, and finally looked at Ye San.

He still believed in Ye San.

As soon as Ye Sanyi caught his gaze, he leaned over. Ruan Jia was about to step back, but he heard him whisper in Ruan Jia's ear: "That's all nonsense, don't worry."

When I disagree with the world, in the end you are still on my side and tell me that I am not alone.

Ruan Jia instantly made up her mind, but at this time Liu's man shouted: "Go! Go up the mountain!"
