Chapter 3 Encounter with Salt Ding Halfway

At this time, everyone became relaxed, the Xue family is near the sea, to Fengmeng, which is about thirty miles away, in the middle are some low slopes and hills, lush grass and trees, walking in it, it is very hidden, everyone also put their hearts down, and they can earn more than seven or eight dollars of silver by walking more than thirty miles.

Seven or eight dollars of silver, how much is that, Li Meng's concept is still a little confused, he always thinks that one or two pieces of silver is one dollar, isn't it just one or two pieces of silver to buy a sugar gourd on the street when watching those film and television dramas?

When I came to this era, I knew that these two pieces of silver could buy more than 100 catties of grain in a good year, and it would take almost a month and a half to come to Xue's house.

The mood is relaxed, and there is more gossip, a group of people are joking with each other, and they are also talking about the beauty of the widow Zhou in the Xue family, and the beauty of the eldest girl of whose family, women are always a topic among men. A group of people were giggling and walking, but it was also relaxed and comfortable, but Zhao Neng was old and looked older, and asked Li Meng on the side:

"Is this trip really profitable?"

"No problem."

Li Meng replied sullenly, he must concentrate on pushing the chicken cart, otherwise more than two hundred catties of salt will be turned into the ditch, Li Meng's shoulder was sharpened by the strap, it is estimated that it is already broken skin and bleeding, Li Meng's only fortunate thing is that he used to be a soldier, and his body can still withstand this kind of heavy physical labor, to be precise, it should be barely able to withstand it, Li Meng can almost think of what it will look like when he sleeps at night.

After coming to this era for more than a month, every meal of bran swallowing vegetables can not change the face and gobble up, go to the Xue family to collect firewood and grass, go to the beach to boil sea salt, pick up some shells, shrimp and crabs, and help the fishermen, Li Meng has consciously slowly adapted to this era, and he does the same thing as the young people in every health center.

If there is something different, not only are the firewood and grass that Li Meng picked up all the ones to give to others in exchange for some food, but also the shells, shrimps and crabs he picked up are not all sold for money.

Every night, Li Meng cooks the fish and shrimp he picked, which used to be the so-called pure natural and pollution-free high-quality seafood, but there is no seasoning to boil, especially no rice and noodles dry food, just eat like this, and you will soon get bored.

However, Li Meng still insisted on eating, although he felt like vomiting every time, Li Meng felt that in this era, he must have a good body, and a good body must have enough exercise and nutritional intake, such a poor living environment, what can ensure nutrition is these fish and shrimp in the sea, as for enough exercise, Li Meng learned in the army every morning and evening, from basic running, push-ups to military boxing and fighting assassination movements, repeated practice, Be sure to keep your fitness at the level you were at when you were crossing.

Today, the car pushes these hundreds of catties of salt, and the wheels of the chicken bus are not the rubber pneumatic tires of later generations, but wooden wheels, which are very bumpy on the dirt road, but the road is also potholes, and the wheelbarrow trembles, and the shoulders and wrists are like the pain of the heart.

While answering Zhao Neng's question, Li Meng smiled bitterly and laughed at himself in his heart:

"Reading novels, others are kings and hegemons, but I have to work hard for food and clothing, and the gap is too big."

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard a young man in front of him laugh loudly and said to Chen Liuzi:

"If I make money today, I will buy catties of meat when I go back, and go back and let my father and mother open meat."

Hearing this, everyone laughed, Li Meng also swallowed and foamed, I haven't eaten meat for a long time, if I make money today, I must buy some meat to treat myself, I want to buy some fat, I am really hungry.

It has been a total of one and a half hours since he went out, and Li Meng estimated that he had walked almost eight miles in three hours, mainly in the hilly terrain to carry the load and delay the speed.

Among these people, Zhao Neng is vaguely a leader because he is older, Zhao Neng stopped and looked up at the sky, then looked left and right, and turned around and greeted:

"There's a ditch on the left, where the big guys can rest and wait for the road."

After Zhao Nenggang finished speaking, these people were all relieved, leaned the car towards the side of the road, put down the flat shoulder, and found a dry place to sit down and rest.

Li Meng also took off the strap, thinking that he had finally stopped, if he walked again, this shoulder would have to be scrapped.

Suddenly, six or seven people came out of the grass not far ahead, striding towards this direction, shouting as they ran:

"The inspection department will seize the illegal salt, and the violators will be killed!"

The clothes worn by these six or seven people were much neater and newer, some were wearing felt hats, some were wrapped in cloth, holding a single knife and an iron ruler in their hands, Li Meng was a little stunned, and he didn't know what was going on.

The fastest reaction was Chen Liuzi, this kid almost got up from the grass, and ran towards the way he came, and the other people's movements were not slow, they all jumped up and ran like rabbits, but Li Meng was a little dazed, looking at the straw bags scattered around, this is nearly two thousand catties of salt, can it be thrown away like this.

After a little hesitation, he suddenly felt that he had been pulled by someone, and his body was unstable, and he heard Zhao Neng shouting at the top of his voice behind him:

"Fool, are you stupid, run! This is a salt dog. ”

Just ran back, these military households of the Xue family still have the courage to come out to sell salt, and they will be poor in the thousands of households of the Xue family for a lifetime, and in a few years, they will either starve to death, or die of military disasters?

Or still die here, maybe go back in time, maybe it's a complete death, a hundred...... a hundred, a hundred.

The salters who came to grab the smuggled salt ran closer and closer, and Li Meng could even see the excited and distorted expressions on their faces, these salt goods fell into their hands in vain, and the money that fell from the sky was of course happy.

Li Meng knows what he has seen and heard this month that the actions of these salts can no longer be described as fish and flesh people, and the actions of innocent people and military households are clearly ruining the good.

Li Meng had already seen it, but he had also made up his mind in his heart, even if he died, he would drag a few bastards in front of him to hell together, and it would be a good thing for the Xue family to have a few fewer scourges.

There were still more than a dozen steps to get to him, Li Meng casually picked up a flat pole on the side, stood in the middle of the path, turned his body slightly to the right, and at the same time, took a step forward with his left foot.

Zhao Neng, who had already run dozens of steps, looked back, but found that Li Meng did not move, but stood in the middle of the road, taking this flat pole, the other seven people were holding a single knife and iron ruler, and you were holding a flat pole with a bamboo board, what could you block, and couldn't help shouting:

"Li Meng, don't you want to live, run!!"

Li Meng didn't seem to hear what he said, his arms were tucked in front of him, his right arm was bent to hold the back end of the flat pole, and his left arm was stretched forward obliquely to hold the middle of the flat pole, the front end was cocked, and his body slowly leaned forward, looking like he was scared silly.
