236. 236 Who is he?
From the ninth mother-in-law went out in the morning, to now just after noon, it is only two hours, she can not only come and go, but also exchange rice and shop, is she stepping on the hot wheels?
"It's quite far, mother-in-law, you're tired all the way, drink saliva."
She diligently poured a bowl of water for Granny Jiu, helped her sit down, and deliberately emphasized the word "go".
"Not tired, not tired."
The ninth mother-in-law drank water and looked at the well-behaved Lin Ling'er very much.
Lin Ling'er smiled brightly, but in fact, she secretly observed the shoes of the ninth mother-in-law, a pair of black cotton shoes, there was no dust on them, and the shoe was clean, not even a little muddy water, she really doubted that the ninth mother-in-law was really walking and walking back?
But it's not easy to ask this directly, she can't let the ninth mother-in-law suspect, in case she misunderstood, will it hurt the ninth mother-in-law's heart?
Having said that, in the past few days, Granny Nine has been very good to her, no matter what she eats, she will let her first, even better than stones, and there is always a touch of awe in her kind eyes, she doesn't know if she is wrong.
But in any case, she can't stay here for long, and when the limelight outside, she will leave, and before that, she has to prepare enough coils for herself.
She didn't ask anything more, and began to take out the things that Granny Nine had bought for her one by one, and set up a dilapidated iron pot, not knowing what she was tinkering with.
The ninth mother-in-law saw that she was burning the fire and boiling it again, so she couldn't help but be curious and asked:
"Miss Ling'er, what are you doing here?"
Lin Ling'er smiled at her and said:
"I'm making a big deal!"
"Big deal?"
The stone also came to join in the fun, stretching out his little head to look at it, but he couldn't see a name.
Lin Ling'er just smiled mysteriously, according to her observation, this kind of thing has not existed in this era, if she makes it, it will definitely be a big hit, she is also glad that she can learn chemistry, and remembering this chemical reaction is completely based on her fun-loving interest, otherwise she can't remember it.
I saw that she applied all kinds of raw materials very methodically, and then poured the slimy-looking things into small boxes, these small boxes were of different shapes, all of which she asked Granny Nine to buy, and after pouring, put them in a cool and ventilated place, and it was done.
The stone walked over and looked at the small boxes one by one, and asked, with a small brow:
"Sister, what is this, it looks like paste, but it doesn't seem to be ......"
She put her hand on the shoulder of the stone and said proudly:
"Stone, my sister will teach you this unique secret, and in the future, you can make a living from this, and you can eat meat every day."
As soon as he heard the word meat, Shi Shi's eyes instantly widened, and he asked greedily:
"Really?"
"Of course it's true, my sister won't lie to you, because those who lie will be eaten by wolves!"
She deliberately mentioned this stubble again, and the stone blinked and lowered her head after hearing this, looking weak.
Lin Ling'er touched her head, hoping that she was just too careful.
Seven days later, her big deal was done, and when she poured out her works one by one from the small box, she really surprised the Nine Mother-in-law and the stone.
"Sister, what is this?"
Stone asked.
Lin Ling'er held up a square piece of work and said:
"It's soap."
Soap is the best and easiest way she can think of to make money, the raw materials are cheap, there is no special process, as long as she remembers the procedure steps to operate, after all, the stone can't stay here for a lifetime, and when she grows up, she will have a means to make a living.
"Soap?"
The Nine Mother-in-law and the stone spoke in unison.
"Yes, soap, it's for laundry, and with it, clothes can be washed cleaner."
Soap is easy to learn, the material is nothing more than some baking soda, quicklime, lard or something, and finally formed, air-dried, anyway, this thing was also invented in ancient times, right? Science and technology are the primary productive forces!
"Can you wash your clothes with this thing?"
Granny Nine took the soap and looked at it over and over in her hand, this thing was slippery to the touch, but it felt very good.
Lin Ling'er rolled her eyes and said:
"Well, not only can it be washed, but it can also be sold for money, and when I teach this craft to stones, you won't have to live so poor in the future, I promise that this soap will bring you a lot of money."
The ninth mother-in-law didn't care about saying anything, just looked at the soapy smile, and Ling'er continued,
"Mother-in-law, why don't you try it at the market tomorrow?" If you can get money, you can buy some rice back if you don't have any rice at home. β
The ninth mother-in-law thought about it and responded:
"Okay, then I'll try it tomorrow."
"Or ...... I'm going with you too? I'm familiar with soap and can help you sell ......"
Lin Ling'er said tentatively.
Sure enough, without waiting for her to finish speaking, Granny Nine rejected her:
"That's not going to work, it's not going to work, it's still catching spies outside, this limelight hasn't passed, it's better not to go out."
"Huh...... Mother-in-law, I'm teasing you, look at what scares you! β
She joked.
In fact, Granny Nine's reaction was something she had expected a long time ago, in the past seven days, Granny Nine had not gone out again, and there was a lot of rice and meat that she got back last time, as if she intended not to go out again in a short period of time.
And that piece of fabric, Granny Nine was not willing to buy a piece of stone to make clothes, why did she buy it just for her? Or the fine brocade?
She made two sets of clothes for the stone, and she wore the old clothes of the Ninth Mother-in-law, and she no longer had the courage to put on the blood-stained red clothes, and she was washed and folded by the Ninth Mother-in-law and kept it there quietly, every time she saw it, she would think of Mutu, and her heart was uncomfortable.
The next day, the ninth mother-in-law went out early in the morning, with the soap she made, on the surface she happily sent her mother-in-law out with a stone, but in fact, she had already made a small calculation in her heart.
"Sister, what are we going to play today?"
Seeing her grandmother walking away, the stone took her hand and asked, with a childlike look of anticipation.
She thought for a moment and said:
"Stone, let's play a tracking game today, and then my sister will teach you how to make soap, okay?"
"Track the game?"
The stone scratched his head, not quite understanding.
"Well, it's that we secretly follow Grandma, and we can't let her find out, if anyone is found out first, whoever loses will lose, and those who lose will not be allowed to eat meat for the next seven days!"
Lin Ling'er explained.
This game has never been played, the naΓ―ve stone only pays attention to the last sentence, she thinks that she must not lose, and she knows the route that her grandmother walks, and it is not easy to be discovered, so she agrees.
"Okay, that's a deal."
Seeing that the plan was successful, Lin Ling'er followed the stone one after the other and quietly walked in the direction where the ninth mother-in-law left.
The purpose of doing this is very simple, she wants to know the exit, she will only be able to leave here one day, she has lived here for so many days, her daily range of activities is fixed, the flowers and trees around her are almost the same, there is no way out at all, if there is no one to lead, she will definitely get lost, and it is impossible for the ninth mother-in-law to tell her how to get out, she faintly feels that there must be someone behind the ninth mother-in-law who is manipulating, but who this person is, she still doesn't know.
Now her goal is very clear, she can't be captured by Mu Jiuxiao, nor can she be taken back to Daegu by Nangong Jue, if she wants to find Yu'er, she must secretly return to Daegu in disguise and make plans again.
The two of them followed the footsteps of the ninth mother-in-law one after the other, in fact, it was better to say that she followed the small shadow of the stone, and she marked a tree with charcoal every time she passed by, for fear that she would get lost the next time she came out.
In this way, she walked all the way and painted, she finally saw the exit, from the position where she was standing, she looked at the tall and majestic mountain, these green trees grew in the mountain, so it seemed that this should be a canyon, so that it could be isolated from the world, the climate was different, the exit was a narrow gap, at a glance, you could only see the snow, you could not see people, and you could not see the road.
At this time, the stone looked back at her, meaning look, she went ahead and was not discovered, she was victorious!
Lin Ling'er smiled at her and beckoned her to come back, but at this moment, she heard the sound of talking coming from the exit, and a faint echo sounded in the canyon, which was heard clearly.
"Mother-in-law, why did you come out at this time? Didn't you make an appointment to come out in ten days? β
Lin Ling'er's heart tightened, it was a man, she had never heard this voice, it was very unfamiliar, but it confirmed her thoughts, there was really someone behind the ninth mother-in-law who was manipulating.
Shi Shi's eyes widened in surprise, and just as he wanted to speak, Lin Ling'er hurriedly made a gesture to silence, and then whispered:
"Whoever is found loses."
If you lose, you won't be able to eat meat for seven days, and at the thought of this, the stone was so frightened that he quickly covered his mouth.
"What, was there not enough rice last time? Or does Miss Ling'er ask for anything? Or is it ill? β
The more the man talked, the more anxious he became, his questions were related to Lin Ling'er, there was no doubt that he was the "man behind the scenes", but who was he?
"No, no, don't worry, Miss Ling'er is fine, no, this is the fertilizer and soap she made, saying that it was for laundry, let me take it to the market to sell, and said that I would rely on this to earn money to support my family in the future!"
It's the ninth mother-in-law who is talking,
"It's strange to say, originally that rice was enough to eat for ten days, but somehow, in the past few days, Miss Ling'er seems to be very able to eat, and the rice jar has bottomed out."
What is Lin Ling'er's special ability to eat, it was she who secretly took the rice away when the ninth mother-in-law was not paying attention, but in fact, it was all hidden under her bed.
The man chuckled as if and said:
"I see."
"What about these soaps......"
Granny Nine seemed to be asking.
Just listen to the man say:
"Mother-in-law, come with me."
Soon after the words fell, Lin Ling'er quietly got up and looked at the exit, the man was supporting the ninth mother-in-law to walk out, it was a tall and unfamiliar back, wearing a black robe, broad shoulders, and a strong body, who was he?
