Sikong Yu stood on the ridge with a puzzled expression, "Why is Sister Chu Liang so powerful, it seems that there is nothing she can't do." ”

Dongfang Yanhe, who was standing in the middle of the field, flashed a trace of alertness in his eyes, and then regained his calm.

……

At Ye Chuliang's suggestion, after harvesting the rice in the field, everyone went out to follow the aroma to find the osmanthus tree.

The group of red shoots and Ye Chuliang quickly found a tall and strong golden cinnamon, and as soon as you walked in, you could feel that the air seemed to be sweet.

Redshoot climbed the branch very dexterously, shaking and exclaiming excitedly, "Wow, I fell ......"

Ye Chuliang is responsible for picking up osmanthus flowers under the tree, and at the same time removing the stems of osmanthus flowers, but leaving osmanthus flowers.

"Over there, there's still ...... over there."

"Don't ask for it over there, it's all dirty......"

"There's a lot of ...... behind you."

But after a moment's effort, I only saw Hongshao jumping up and down like a monkey, and the sound was endless.

"Sister Chu Liang is here, there are a lot of ...... here"

Ye Chuliang was already in a hurry under the tree, and he didn't have time to pick it up alone, but fortunately, at this time, Dongfang Yanhe and Sikong Yu also followed the fragrance of flowers to find it.

With the help of two people, the picking up work is significantly faster.

But after a while, I picked up a lot of Lou.

Redtip jumped twice on the tree and said, "Do you want more?" ”

Ye Chuliang looked up and said, "Pick a little more, let's eat osmanthus dumplings in the evening." ”

……

Because the sugar osmanthus was not made in advance, when the rice balls were wrapped at night, Ye Chuliang could only use flowers and sugar to boil in the pot, and finally achieved the effect of sugar osmanthus.

When making dumplings, the two little guys always took advantage of the adults' inattention to secretly dip their little fingers in a little sugar osmanthus and put it in their mouths, and then the two secretly looked at each other and smiled.

The sweet fragrance of osmanthus fills the whole cave, making people's mood can't help but be happy, the four people are talking and laughing while wrapping osmanthus dumplings, as if all the sweetness in life is condensed at this moment.

Originally, after the crops were harvested, life would get better and better, but this time it was the opposite, the grain harvested in the fields was not enough to pay the rent, and almost every household fell into a crisis of survival.

Of course, the urgency of food is not the most important thing, the most important thing now is that every household has fallen into a situation of lack of salt or even no salt, and for a time the salt shops in the city have become crowded, and some people are even waiting at the door before dawn.

Even so, there are often many people who do not have access to salt.

Ye Chuliang's family is also gradually bottoming out the salt tanker, and he will inevitably face the need to buy salt in two days.

Just when everyone was worried about this matter, Sikong Yu ran back unusually nervously and said with a mysterious expression: "I found that someone in the village is selling salt. "Let's search for books

"How dare anyone sell illicit salt?" Ye Chuliang said in surprise.

"You can't imagine who's selling." Sikong Yu sold a pass.

"Who else can there be, it must be someone from the Ma family who is selling, who else in this village has the spare money to do this kind of thing besides their family?" Red Tree said indifferently.

"But this sale of illicit salt is a capital crime, do they really have the guts?" Ye Chuliang said with some suspicion.

Dongfang Yanhe had a faint uneasiness in his heart, and after he looked at Hongshao, he pretended to look at Sikong Yu a little casually and asked, "Who do you say is selling illicit salt in this village?" ”

Sikong Yu shrugged his shoulders a little unhappily, "She said it just now, it's their Ma family, and they don't buy it secretly behind their backs, they are simply blatant, and they don't take the imperial court's salt order to heart at all." ”

Ye Chuliang shook his head vigilantly and said, "No, although their Ma family is rich, how can this salt be so easy to get, and they are so bold, aren't they afraid of being reported?" ”

"Who dares to report it, now there is no shortage of salt, and some people will naturally buy it." Hong Shao suddenly changed his attitude and said with a nonchalant attitude, "Otherwise, let's go buy some too, anyway, the house is almost gone." ”

"No......" Dongfang Yanhe suddenly and resolutely stopped, this stern voice startled all three of them.

Xu felt that he had lost his temper, and Dongfang Yanhe pretended to be embarrassed and scratched his head, "Don't you think that with our relationship with the Ma family, we can't go to them to buy things at all, and even if we go, will they really sell them to us?" ”

Hong Shao shrugged helplessly, and sighed: "Yes, we have such a bad relationship with them, and the previous Li Ruoxian also framed Sister Chu Liang for causing her miscarriage, I think, they wish we died sooner." ”

"It's strange to say, that Ye Duwan will report it, why is she so silent about such a big thing this time?" Sikong Yu looked at Ye Chuliang curiously and asked.

Ye Chuliang chuckled in his heart, then looked up at Sikong Yu and smiled: "Maybe her conscience has found out." After saying that, she couldn't help but laugh self-deprecatingly.

……

Sure enough, as Dongfang Yanhe expected, late at night, while everyone was asleep, Ye Chuliang secretly went down the mountain alone.

I wanted to follow quietly like this, but then I thought that if something happened, it would be inconvenient for him to hide in the dark, so as soon as he walked to the foot of the mountain, Dongfang Yanhe followed closely.

"Why did a person secretly go to Mafu?" Dongfang Yanhe asked in a low voice.

Ye Chuliang was startled, stopped, patted his chest and said, "You don't have a sound when you walk." ”

Dongfang Yanhe didn't want to get too entangled in this issue, so as not to arouse Ye Chuliang's suspicions, so after he looked around, he smiled innocently and said, "What are you doing down the mountain so late?" You can't want to go to Mafu, right? ”

Ye Chuliang put his fingers between his lips and made a "shhhhhhhhh ”

"You don't really want to steal salt, do you?" Dongfang Yanhe also made a very exaggerated expression of surprise after speaking.

Ye Chuliang's face was tangled, he looked around, and then pulled him aside, "Who said that I was going to steal salt, I just don't worry, I don't know what conspiracy the Ma family has this time, I can plan it earlier." ”

"It seems that you are still not worried about Ye Wanwan's miscarriage before." Dongfang Yanhe in a word.

Ye Chuliang shrugged helplessly, "I am not afraid of anyone, what I am most afraid of is the feeling of deceitful behind my back, which always catches people off guard." ”

"Alas, this Ye Duwan is such a person, I think she has used all kinds of bad ideas before, and even her own flesh and blood are used to retaliate against people, I think she is really bad at home." Dongfang Yanhe stomped his feet angrily after speaking.
