Xiao Dongniang turned around and looked at the red in the distance, and the mountain that had blocked them for thousands of years.

"Haven't you noticed that the food has been getting tasteless lately?"

Shen Qingci pursed her red lips, well, she tasted it, but she didn't think too much about it, and thought that Xiao Dongniang forgot to put salt, but every meal is like this, so it's a little weird.

"We don't let it go, because we don't have any more salt."

Xiao Dongniang sat down, and her eyes couldn't help but turn red again.

"We have everything here, but only a little, we don't have salt, and then we found a salt pan at the end of the mountain, where there is enough salt for our ancestors to eat, and the salt is still renewable."

"Wouldn't that be nice?" Shen Qingci turned his head and looked at that place, but he couldn't see anything, only among the falling peach blossoms, a mountain shadow could be vaguely seen.

The mountain not only protected them, but also brought them salt.

"Salt isn't that easy to get."

Xiao Dongniang wiped her tears again, "If we want to get salt, we must climb the mountain to go over, this may be the punishment of God for us Dongling people, anyone who takes salt will die." ”

"And the salt they brought back can make us eat for a year, but every year, there will be young men who go up to the mountains to get salt, and they will have their own lives in exchange for the salt we rely on for survival."

"And the salt they exchanged for their lives saved the whole village, and the men, women and children of the whole village are also because of their sacrifices, so there will be generations of people in Tanglin."

Shen Qing suddenly felt some discomfort in his stomach.

If so, then she would rather not eat such salt.

This salt was exchanged for human life, which is equivalent to the salt she has eaten, and the food she has eaten, but in fact, all she has eaten is human flesh and blood.

Xiao Dongniang said a lot, maybe what she could say was only an outsider like Shen Qingci, the village has been like this for generations, and they are all used to it, and every year they have to send in two young men.

Xu is their father and brother, Xu is their son and grandson, so they don't say it, they can't say it, every family is like this, everyone is like this.

In the past, they would send one person to fetch salt, but they found that many people did not come back, and in the end, each time they sent two people, one dead and one wounded, they could finally bring back enough salt for the whole village to use for a year

But what kind of salt is eaten, it is clear that what is eaten is human flesh and blood.

Shen Qingci couldn't help but cover his mouth, and he also felt as if the contents of his stomach were reversed.

She has never encountered such a thing, it is very easy to get salt outside, and it is as cheap as cabbage, there are several large salt pans in the Great Zhou Realm, even one in Qi Yuan's hands at the beginning, and now it is re-mined, it is enough for tens of millions of people in the Great Zhou to eat for thousands of years, and the salt pans are inexhaustible.

In her two lives, she has eaten a lot of salt, and even she sometimes forgets things like salt, but she never thought that someone would lose her life because of these little salts.

Shen Qingci helped Xiaodong comb her hair, the boy's and girl's combed hair was the same, but since she learned to comb her sister's hair, her fingers have become more dexterous, and she is not as clumsy as she was before, and she has to pull a few hairs raw.

And when she thinks of her sister, she can't help but think about the fancy world outside, no matter how bad it is outside, it is still her home, and home is always home.
