"Mom, I want to eat lotus pods." The young man seemed to have just woken up from a dream, pouted his blood-stained lips slightly, rubbed his eyes with his chubby hands, and said coquettishly.It's just that the water stains remaining at the corner of his mouth and the soaked linen blouse wrapped around him proved that everything just now was not a dream.

The tiger cub of Lao Li's family really came back to life!

"Oh, my dear mother, isn't this a dream?" A sloppy man slapped his thigh and shouted.The other onlookers talked about it as if they didn't believe it, and pointed at Yuan Shuyi, "Why is that girl more evil than the Zhang family's grandma in the village? She was dead when she was caught. Oh, what about that?" The girl is not some kind of monster in the mountains!"

"What are you afraid of," someone interjected, gloating, "If you want to hurt people, she's going to hurt that cripple Tuo Bachen? But, I don't know what kind of shit luck that brat got, where did he get such a thing?" Pretty girl, look at that figure, I can't help but look at it."

"Hey, don't mess around, the patriarch is still here."

"Don't worry, I have a measure."

……

Listening to these noisy buzzing sounds in her ears, according to Yuan Shuyi's previous personality, she would have been whipped away, but now she is a little dizzy and sees things in the same way; her chest is tight and hurts, she Unobtrusively, he put his right hand on the pulse of his left hand, felt it, and sure enough, the things in his body were sealed.She sighed secretly, thinking that her mother was too ruthless, and that guy Liang Xuyu was too nostalgic.She is now trapped in this poor corner, and even deer, cranes and birds may not be able to find herself. In this way, not to mention that she wants to go back to the grassland, whether she can go back to the capital is a big problem.Thinking about it, I feel a little annoyed in my heart, stagnation grows, and blood overflows from the heart and lungs, and reaches the throat, and the rust-like taste spreads in the mouth.

Yuan Shuyi frowned in disgust, her throat moved slightly to swallow the blood.This time, she was at a loss. When she returns to the capital, let's see if she can kill that bitch Tuo Bahong!

"My precious grandson!" Seeing that her grandson had come back to life, the young grandma rushed to hug him and began to cry. The two honest peasants were crying too hard, Yuan Shuyi looked over there in disgust. The crying family huddled together and walked towards Tuobachen who had been standing there in a daze. Halfway there, he remembered that there was a crazy woman. After seeing the same woman, she slowly moved her body.She fearfully glanced at the impatient Yuan Shuyi, hurriedly ran to her son, embraced the lost and recovered child and cried loudly.

The scene of bliss in the world in front of me was really touching. Many elderly people with white hair were sobbing with Lao Li's family, and the noise in the whole room was crying.Yuan Shuyi walked up to Tuobachen, poked her pale face where the blood vessels could even be seen flowing, pinched her ears, then pursed the corners of her mouth and smiled slightly, leaning against her jade-like delicate face with a soft voice. He said softly, "Silly girl."

Tuobachen looked up at her in a daze, his eyes were dazed like a child lost with his family in the wind and snow, she held her cold hand with her cold hand for a long time Only then did he find his voice, his voice was so hoarse, "Let's go home."

"En." Yuan Shuyi touched her face with her free hand that was not caught by her, and smiled lightly, "Let's go home."

The small river is the place with the most alkaline soil.Firstly, there is salt in the water itself, and the villagers accidentally spilled water into the soil when carrying water. After being dried by the sun, the salt remained in the soil; secondly, the land of this village was originally formed by the weathering of mountains and rocks. Yes, with such a combination of both sides, you can find alkaline soil by finding a place by the small river where the aquatic plants are least luxuriant.

Yuan Shuyi was too lazy to transport the soil back, so he dug a hole with local materials, buried firewood in the hole, and took out the stone pot they brought out and put it on top. The stone pot was very big. It was Tuobachen's mother who used it to boil the bath water for the family of three when he was a child, but Yuan Shuyi, like a robber, didn't care about it, and insisted on bringing it over.After the laying was completed, she made two holes in the stone pot at different heights from left to right. A large piece of linen cloth was worn in the ear hole of the first one, and a piece of cotton cloth was spread in the second one.When everything was ready, Yuan Shuyi poured some alkaline soil from the bamboo basket on the linen cloth, poured some water on it, mixed it into the soil, and some salty water seeped through the linen cloth to the cotton cloth, and then The cotton cloth is soaked into the stone pot-in this way, the soil in the salt is almost removed.

Tuo Bachen helped to light the fire under the stone pot. She squatted on the ground and kept adding firewood to the bottom of the stone pot. The light of the fire made her pale face red.She looked at Yuan Shuyi who was busy above, her eyes were in a trance.She remembered that when she was young, every time smoke came out of the chimney of her house, her father would help her mother to light a fire under the stove in the same way—and from time to time, when her mother was not paying attention, she would put herself in the ashes in the stove. Bury an egg.Every time her mother would reprimand them, but she made custard from the eggs laid by the hens and fed them to the father and son, but she always said that she had already eaten them.

As she thought about it, tears welled up in her eyes, and Yuan Shuyi's figure gradually blurred in the haze.

Mother, Chen'er is really working hard to live.

Yuan Shuyi pushed the sleeves of both hands to the wrists. While stirring the salt water in the stone pot with a clean wooden stick, she kept wiping the sweat with her sleeves. She didn't care about wiping the linen clothes. It hurts to shave her face, and she doesn't care what will happen if someone jumps out and sees her indecent appearance. She only cares about the movement in the stone pot. This is the first time for her to make salt by herself, so she is inevitably excited Can not extricate themselves.

The firewood under the stone pot was just obtained by Yuan Shuyi from the woods, and the firepower was strong. This time, there was no wind, and the fire was fierce. After a while, the water in the stone pot was evaporated, leaving only a lot of crystal clear firewood in the sun. The coarse salt that was still glistening under it filled half a stone pot, probably enough for them to use for several years!

"Hahahahahaha! Liang Xuyu, you always say that I'm not doing my job properly, so I should show you my current achievements!" Yuan Shuyi pinched his waist and laughed regardless of his appearance, and then looked down as if asking for credit, as if wiping tears Tuo Bachen asked with concern, "What's the matter, did you get smoked by firewood again?" Then she added awkwardly, "Am I very good?" As she said, she even put gold on her face Added the sentence "Do you think I look particularly good today?"

"En." Tuo Bachen didn't know what to answer her, but just nodded blindly, she wiped the corners of her eyes, and forced a smile, "Is that all right?"

"Yes." Yuan Shuyi was very happy to get her affirmative answer, and there was a faint blue light in her long and narrow Danfeng eyes. "Let's pack up and sell salt!" They were all smiles, and now she seemed to have seen the white silver beckoning to her.

It can only be said that Yuan Shuyi thought everything too simply.On the first day after she used the salt, she was still in a good mood, which was evident from the smile on her lips.But on the fifth day, she had asked Tuo Bachen to tell the villagers that they could change the salt at home, but still no one came to the door.Yuan Shuyi's originally smiling face turned black day by day, and at the dusk of the fifth day, when no one was willing to enter the threshold of Tuobachen's house after watching helplessly for five days, she broke out completely.

"I'm so mad!" Yuan Shuyi kept whipping a willow tree in the courtyard of Tuobachen's family with a whip, completely treating it as a target for his martial arts training in the grassland. It left a hideous whip mark.The young leaves that had just grown on the tree also fell down with her whip, as if a person was trembling and begging for mercy because of fear.But she was still not relieved, still pumping uninterruptedly, and occasionally kicked with her own foot. "I'm furious!"

Tuo Bachen came out of the kitchen and saw Yuan Shuyi's behavior, and sighed again, this willow tree also suffered, and Yuan Shuyi used it as a punching bag for no reason.In fact, when she first heard that Yuan Shuyi wanted to sell salt, she felt that it was unreliable. It was not that the salt made by Yuan Shuyi could not be eaten. According to Yuan Shuyi, "I first boiled the coarse salt before using it. It’s stewed! It’s better than the salt sold by some unscrupulous officials!” It’s just that people in the village have always been used to eating salt bought by the government or shopkeepers.

Tuo Bachen shook his head, and when he was about to go over to stop her behavior, someone yanked the door and nose ring made of poplar wood in her family.

Tuo Bachen saw that the sun was almost sinking to the west mountain, and wondered, who would knock on her door so late?

After thinking about it, she still pulled the latch and opened the door a crack, revealing the dark and rough face of a woman, she was the aunt of the Li family.

"Who? Knocking at the door so late." Yuan Shuyi was tired from beating in the yard, and asked lazily on the deck chair.

Tuo Bachen didn't reply to her words, nor did he let her into the house, he just said politely through the door, "Auntie is so late, is there anything else?"

"Hey, I have something to do." Aunt Li blushed and kept rubbing her hands, "Tuo... Chen'er, today I am here to thank you." She pulled out from behind and hid behind her because of shyness. His son said, "Call me uncle soon."

"Hello, Uncle." The boy didn't have the frail appearance he had just rescued from the river that day. The hair on his head was shaved off, revealing a round and smooth head. I don't know who taught him. At this moment, he used his own The chubby little hand made a bow, and slightly bent down to worship Tuoba Chen.

Tuo Bachen was amused by his naive appearance, and she opened the door completely, "It's windy outside at night, and it's just right for the child. Auntie should bring the child in to talk."

"Hey." Aunt Li agreed, kept wiping the sweat from her hands with the hem of her clothes, and followed Tuobachen into her house shaking her body.As soon as she walked into the courtyard, she saw her nightmare, Yuan Shuyi, reclining on the reclining chair, holding a soft cowhide whip in one hand, and constantly tangling her own hair with the other.Although she was smiling, in Aunt Li's eyes, she was clearly the evil spirit in the Town God's Temple.

Yuan Shuyi heard the sound of the door, rolled his eyes slightly, and turned his gaze to the three people who were at the entrance of the courtyard. Aunt Li fell to the ground with a "plop" as she had seen in the book.

Yuan Shuyi twitched her mouth, am I that scary?
