After breakfast, everyone ate together for a long time and went to work, and Zhong's began to be busy with pig food, there are three children in the second room, the eldest daughter Yingxi is 9 years old, the second daughter is 7 years old, and the third son Yunfeng is 3 years old.

Nine-year-old Yingxi can already help with the work, but Yingman needs to watch her younger brother Yunfeng, at this time, the eldest aunt brought her cousin Yingxin over, "Xiaoman, you help take a look at your sister, and your eldest sister and I will go to wash clothes." "The ancients were not diligent in changing clothes, because they were easy to break if they were washed too much, but they had to be changed every once in a while, and today happened to be the day of change.

The uncle's family has four children, the lobby brother Yunfu is 15 years old, the lobby sister Yinghuan is 13 years old, the second cousin Yungui is 11 years old, and the little cousin Yingxin is 4 years old. The third uncle's family has two children, her cousin Yingyue, who is one month younger than her, and her 5-year-old cousin Yunshi.

The third aunt also came over, and Yingyue took Yun Shi to follow behind, "It just so happens that the two of my family are also with you." ”

"Good. "They should come down, and they will throw it to her even if they don't.

The Xu family's family is quite harmonious, because of the division of labor, the three rooms get along quite well, but also because there is no money, in order to eat hard, in this place, even if the family is separated, it is not easy to live, and there are foreign enemies, it is better to be a family together, and there are many people when something really happens.

When the elders went their separate ways, Yingman took a few children to a large flat land in the village, which is usually used to dry food, and when it is empty, there will be children playing here, and there are already many children here.

Looking at a few little radish heads around him running to meet with others, Yingman found a place to sit down, looked around, there is no mountain to go to here, there are trees on the mountain, after all, there are not all bald in modern times, but there are not many, the land here is next door, and there are not many trees that can grow.

As for the river, there is one, but it is only a little hot in the summer and it is dry, and the fish in it are also caught, and I suddenly sigh, there is no place to play.

"Third sister, what are you sighing, my mother said, children can't sigh, they will get old. Ying Yue heard the voice and spoke.

"Good. Ying Man was helpless, but he still agreed, looking at the children running crazy, and accidentally thought of the games he played when he was a child, such as long jump, hopscotch, jumping cowhide bands, throwing handkerchiefs and other games.

Or she can also teach them martial arts, even if it is not for the sake of spreading, but it is good for them to learn to protect themselves, especially in this dangerous place, they also have the ability to protect themselves when they encounter a barbarian invasion.

Thinking like this, Yingman beckoned everyone over: "Come here, my sister will teach you to play games." ”

"Third sister, what game are you playing?" Hearing that there was a game, everyone immediately gathered around Yingman, except for the Xu family, the children of other families also came around.

"Well, I think about it. Ying Man thought about it for a while, and found that the war dance was the most suitable, the war dance can improve people's physique, and it is suitable for all people. "I'll do it again, how about you follow me?"

"Good. "Children are naturally fine.

Yingman made a set of war dance movements, the movements of the war dance are handsome and beautiful, and it is not very difficult, after all, it was originally for the little magicians to learn from childhood, and the main thing is to not let the magicians sit, and finally become a crispy existence.

The children saw it and thought it was good-looking, so they shouted to learn, and Yingman demonstrated the movements one by one, and everyone learned from her, and the younger ones also learned, but the action, clumsy, looked funny.

Because the war dance can absorb the aura, it will not be like other external skills, it is easy to get hungry after practicing too much, and it will not arouse the suspicion of parents, so for a long time, everyone follows Yingman to learn, the child's qualitative is insufficient, since Yingman has taught them naturally can not let them give up halfway, so they often teach them to play other games in their free time, long jump, hopscotch, and dodgeball, etc., as long as they can find materials to play, Yingman will be handed over to them.

Later, Yingman found that they had a lot of cow tendon and sheep tendon and the like because of livestock here, so he tried to get some to teach them to skip rope, like this kind of small game, playing a lot of actually enlightened wisdom, after all, the ancient education was not popular enough, the game is up and down the river and the like, and here there is not even this condition, so it also makes the people here a little dull, play more games, not only move the body, all kinds of games want to win also need to think, and some need to remember, so that the brain naturally achieves the effect of enlightenment。

Adults are busy with geography or cattle and sheep every day, and as long as the children don't run around, they won't care too much, so no one notices the changes in the children for a while.

Ying Man was immersed in the fun of teaching martial arts, and when everyone had some foundation in the war dance, she began to teach them to practice moves, and gradually, some older children joined them, after all, there were really not many things to be busy here.

With the beginning of martial arts training, the children's food has also increased, but their situation here is like this, they didn't eat enough before, and now they are even more hungry, and they don't have food at home, and Yingman occasionally heard the family say that the official salt is gone, and there are more private salt dealers, and the price is high, so that each family has to be reluctant to give it up, and now it is used less, there is no salt, and the children are originally lacking nutrition because of martial arts, so the children are not so interested in martial arts.

"Do we have any places where there are many animals or fish here?" Ying Man saw this situation and felt that it was not a way, and it was impossible for her to rob the smuggler of salt, even if the problem of salt was solved, but what about the food?

"Nope. ”

"Nope. Everyone shook their heads.

Ying Man looked around, a little deflated, but found that the youngest son of the village chief's family seemed to be thinking something, so he asked, "What does Brother Hao think?"

"As for fish, I heard my father say that there is a lake somewhere, and there are many fish in the lake, but the water of that lake is salty and bitter, and you can't drink it at all. "Brother Hao's name is Chen Hao, and he is the youngest son of the village chief.

"Salty and bitter?" Ying Man blinked, isn't that a saltwater lake? If there is a saltwater lake, then why are they forced to be like that by the smugglers? They can get their own salt to eat.

"yes. Brother Hao nodded.

"Where is that lake, is it far from us?" asked Yingman hurriedly, she was still thinking about what to do if she didn't have salt to eat, but now she was really sleepy and came to deliver a pillow.

"Not far away, just past the grassland where we graze. Brother Hao didn't know what Yingman was asking for, so he answered honestly.

Yingman didn't expect it to be so close, and they were forced to die by the smugglers in such a large saltwater lake without using it.
