"You let it go first, and when the family really can't get over, it's not too late for you to give it to your mother!" When Liu heard his daughter-in-law's words, he was very moved. It is said that marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous woman is really worth marrying this daughter-in-law of their family.

The Liu family can only eat two meals a day, and they can only eat six or seven minutes full at one meal. When he got up early in the morning, Du Yi knew that it was not time to eat, so he pulled the peach blossoms and continued to familiarize himself with the village. She thought that she would eventually find a way to make money, but she didn't believe it, so she could only go on like this.

That's going to have to wait a while, and there's no money this year. I've heard that salt here is so expensive, but what if she finds salt-skinned wood? The tree is also called a little salt wood, and it bears a thin layer of salt on the outside of the fruit, so there is no problem with eating it. I just don't know if there's anything here, and is it allowed to buy and sell here?

Normally, salt is controlled by the state, and presumably the same is true of Ziyang Country (the name of this country, which Du Yi also heard from the Liu family). What about private exchanges, not sales?

"Peach Blossom, I want to go and walk around, if you're tired, go back first, I'm fine alone, I won't get lost." Du Yi glanced at the peach blossom with a slightly pale face.

"No, I'm out of the way. Wherever you want to go, I'll go with you. "Peach Blossom hates her body for not being angry, and her physical strength is not even as good as that of a daughter like Du Yi.

Du Yi didn't take her, and the two stopped all the way, and unconsciously walked away.

"Yiyi, shall we go back? We've gone too far, and we can't find us when we turn back, so it's time to say it. Peach Blossom saw that Du Yi didn't mean to go back, and couldn't help but say.

Du Yi, who didn't find the salt-skinned wood, was very unwilling, but she couldn't confirm whether there was one here, but she felt that the climate here should be quite suitable, and there would be.

But even if you are unwilling, you can't help it, you can only go back with the peach blossoms.

"Yiyi, let's go back on the path, that will be faster." Although Peach Blossom is not in good health, she is always more familiar than Du Yi is coming, plus Liujia Village is surrounded by mountains on three sides, even if she has not walked it herself, she has more or less heard others talk about the terrain before.

Looking at the sun, it was already late time, and Du Yi had no choice but to give up and obey Peach Blossom's arrangement.

Time flew by, and for five days in a row, Doe still didn't have anything to gain, which made her a little discouraged. Seeing that the autumn harvest was coming tomorrow, the salt jars at home were empty. But there was really no money to buy salt, which made the family at a loss.

The peasant family did heavy work, and they did not have enough to eat, so they had to eat salty. But when you can't eat enough, you don't even have salt, which makes people feel weak. These days, she has gradually become familiar with the village, and Du Yi, who is in a bad mood, did not take Peach Blossom out this time, but went out with the active little tiger by herself.

Sometimes that's how it is, you try everything you can to find something, and no matter how much you try, you can't find it. And it appeared in front of you without you knowing.

Doe is in this mood at the moment. looked at the tree in front of him with enthusiastic eyes, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise high. Although it was the end of September, the weather was still very comfortable, and even the wood salt tree in front of me left a layer of salt as white as snowflakes.

Walking under the tree, Doy reached out and wiped the white crystal, stretched out the tip of his tongue and tasted it, after making sure that it was salt, he couldn't help but jump.

"Little Huzi, you help your aunt get things here, don't run around, and your aunt will come home in the evening to make something to eat for you." Du Yi, who is afraid of the little tiger running around, can only tempt this active little guy with food.

"Good!" Hearing that there was something to eat, Xiaohuzi's eyes lit up and he nodded again and again. Standing obediently beside Doe.

Du Yi brought himself out, prepared a small coat for the little tiger to wear, plucked a leaf, and scraped off the salt from the tree one by one, these are all treasures, and they are the hope of this family now.

"Auntie, what are you doing?" Xiaohuzi didn't understand what Du Yi was doing, and after asking this, he saw the falling thing, stretched out his little hand to catch it, and then followed Du Yi's example and put it in his mouth.

Du Yi was too focused on the treasure in front of him, so naturally he didn't see Xiaohuzi's movements.

Xiaohuzi smiled and narrowed his eyes, he just tasted the salty taste, but he felt that it was delicious. At this time, Du Yi thought that he should earn the silver quickly, and then buy the land here and take the tree for himself, so that it would not be easy to be discovered in the future.

Du Yi, who was intently scraping the salt on the leaves, replied without replying: "Auntie is making good things, and I will cook for Xiaohuzi to eat in the evening, okay?" But Xiaohuzi can't say it, otherwise there will be nothing delicious in the future. ”

For children, in addition to playing, it is eating. Although Xiaohuzi is only two years old, he is smart, everything his aunt said, then it must be right.

While nodding, the little one saw the fallen salt, so he stretched out his short hand to catch it and put it in his mouth.

Dooy, who had already scraped a lot, looked at the little shirt in his hand, and looked at the salt on the tree, so he had to give up. Now these scraped down, it is enough to use it at home for a long time, and when I go back, I will come with the peach blossoms in the afternoon.

Du Yi held the little tiger in his left hand and the small shirt wrapped in salt in his right hand, and walked towards the house with light steps. When she passed by a stream, she thought that her mouth had been so dull lately, and she almost wanted to vomit when she ate the corn paste at home. Look at the crystal clear river again, and my mind is alive.

When you come back in the afternoon, bring a fish basket over, in case you are lucky, you can catch a fish or two, then Ming'er's family will harvest in the autumn, at least there will be a meat dish.

Du Yi and Peach Blossom are in the same room, and they are very distressed to see the Peach Blossom Needle in the past few days. She knew why, and thought that if she could catch fish, she would let Peach Blossom eat more.

As soon as the aunt and nephew arrived home, they saw Peach Blossom coming out of their room and preparing to make lunch. After Du Yi let go of Xiaohuzi's hand and let him play by himself, he quickly pulled the peach blossom and flashed into the room.

"Yiyi, what are you pulling me for?" Peach Blossom was confused, it was the first time she had seen Du Yi's emotions exposed. In the past, she gave people the feeling of lukewarm, but now she has a happy smile on her face.

Du Yi pulled Peach Blossom to sit on the bed, put down the shirt in his hand, walked to the window and closed the window, and carefully spread out the shirt under Peach Blossom's inexplicable eyes.

Peach Blossom was stunned for a moment, then stretched out her left index finger and clicked on the salt, put it in her mouth, her eyes widened instantly, and she exhaled in a low voice: "Yiyi, where did you get all this salt?" ”

They can't afford salt at home, where does it come from? And these are obviously different from the coarse salt I bought, and they are much finer. Yi has no money, so where did it come from?

"Peach blossom, don't worry, these salt sources are bright and bright, not stolen or robbed. Did you know that there are a lot of trees that also produce salt? Haven't I been out and about every day? Just to find these things. When I went out with Xiaohuzi today, I accidentally found it for me. I'm going to go back in the afternoon, so you can come with me. We are not afraid of more salt, but we are afraid of less salt. If you wait too much, how to deal with it, let's discuss it separately. ”

Looking at the salt in front of her, Peach Blossom listened to Du Yi's words in her ears, and she couldn't react for a long time. Nodding dumbfoundedly, he wanted to say something, and under Du Yi's gaze, he swallowed all the words back into his stomach.

Since the autumn harvest is coming tomorrow, the people of the Liu family are preparing this day, sharpening their knives, and going to the field to see the situation. Taking advantage of the free time, embroidery, in short, no one is idle.

As soon as the noon meal was served, Liu Dazhu sandwiched a chopsticks of Houttuynia cordata, and when he took the first bite, he was slightly stunned. After the second sip, I took a look at the peach blossoms.

Obviously, Liu Dazhu is not the only one who has such an expression, except for Du Yi and Taohua, the rest of the people are stunned.

"Peach blossom, there is no salt in this house, after eating today, what will you eat tomorrow? The next few days will be busy, this meal should be a little salty, did you run out of salt today? ”

Liu put down his chopsticks and looked at Peach Blossom with a sad and unforgiving expression.

"No, mother, I'll tell you this at night. It's hard to say in broad daylight now, but there is salt at home, so you can rest assured. If you have anything to say, let's talk about it in the evening, will it be done? ”

The doors of the house are open in broad daylight, and people walk by from time to time outside the door. If this is heard by someone with a heart, everything will be in vain.

People are selfish, especially when the family is poor. I finally saw hope, and I will definitely hold on to it. And Peach Blossom and Doe are in this state of mind now.

The autumn sky is like a sapphire covering the earth, and the small pond outside Liujia Village has clear eyes, staring at this beautiful sky. The rice in front of and behind the village of Le-Wen Village bent over with their heads bowed, silently waiting for people to harvest in the autumn wind.

The leaves of the maple trees in the valley, I don't know if they had drunk too much wine, were red like a fire. When the autumn wind blows, the maple leaves make a rattling sound, as if they are applauding to celebrate the harvest scene.

Peach Blossom and Du Yi carried a basket with a basket on their backs, and in the basket was an urn that was not too big or small, with clothes on top of the urn and a fish basket in their hands. Compared with the peach blossom, Du Yi has an extra small hoe in his hand.

"Yiyi, do you think we can catch a fish? If you can catch a fish, the second brother and his father and mother will be able to eat a good meal tomorrow. Peach Blossom, who was standing by the stream, asked a little uncertainly.

There is not much food at home, and I will have to dig more wild vegetables to go home in a while, at least to ensure that the family can have enough to eat during the autumn harvest days.

"I don't know about this, but I hope I can!"

In order to be able to make a fish basket with a greater chance of catching, Du Yi also specially picked a relatively large one. The stream was fast, but fortunately it was small and not very deep.

After searching for a long time, Du Yi finally found a satisfactory location. Place the basket in the place where the current is most rapid and narrow. In this way, it will be easier for the fish to follow the water, and the probability of entering the fish basket will be relatively large.

"Yiyi, where is mine?" Peach Blossom was a little dumbfounded when she saw that the position was tight enough to accommodate the fish basket in Du Yi's hand.

Peach Blossom rarely comes out and walks around because of her poor health, let alone like now. At this time, she was carrying the fish basket, a little overwhelmed, and did not know what to do at all.

"Don't worry, we're looking for it, and we'll find another place to put it. I think there are a lot of fish in this creek, so if you find a suitable place, you should be able to catch some fish. ”

Perhaps because of the small size of the stream, all that Doe could see was small fish. I thought to myself, these fish are also good for making soup.

After the two of them had put the fish baskets away and looked left and right to see that there was no one, they walked to the place where Doy had found the wood salt tree in the morning.

Passing by a place with a relatively large number of shrubs, Doy dug a hole with his head, then stuck a sharp branch in the bottom, and finally spread a layer of small bushes on top of it, and then continued on his way.

"Peach Blossom, this is it." Doy pointed to the tree in front of him, then put down his back, took out a thin piece of bamboo from the urn, and began to scrape neatly.

Peach Blossom wiped her eyes with her sleeve, and everything in front of her was like a dream. Then he reached out in disbelief and gently scratched it, looked down carefully, and then stretched out the tip of his tongue to confirm.

"Yiyi, this is really salt, haha, our family will never worry about no salt to eat in the future. Yiyi, I'm so happy! Peach Blossom jumped up with a smile.

But her action startled Du Yi: "Okay, okay, I know you're very happy." Be quiet, don't scream so loudly. Be careful with your body, your emotions can't go up and down. Take a deep breath and hurry! ”

Seeing Peach Blossom's breathing begin to rapid, Doe turned white with fright. Why does this girl take care of her body, if she is too excited, it will be bad.

Peach Blossom heard Du Yi's prompt, followed a few deep breaths, and when the breathing calmed down, her cheeks flushed: "Yiyi, thank you!" ”

"Okay, what do you do. Hurry up and start shaving, and when it's cold, it's gone. We're going to save for next year now, don't ink. ”

Peach Blossom nodded, her eyes eagerly looking at the tree in front of her, and her hands were busy.

The sun was gradually setting in the west from overhead, and Du Yi and Peach Blossom scraped an urn by themselves. Seeing the full amount of salt, the hearts of the two were also filled with joy.

"Yiyi, if this can be sold, we will sell it for ten cents a catty. With so much salt, it can be sold for a lot of silver. Peach Blossom looked down at the urn, her eyes full of hope for the future.

"Let's talk about this later, now let's go back first." Dooy's urn is relatively large, while Peach Blossom uses a small urn due to her poor health. The two took advantage of the fact that it was still early, so they went to pick wild vegetables.

The wild vegetables in autumn are nothing more than dandelions, bitter herbs, endive, camellia and the like. Because of the remote distance and the autumn harvest in the next few days, there are very few people who come to pick wild vegetables.

Therefore, it didn't take long for the two of them to pick seven, seven, eight, eight. Du Yi hammered his back and pulled up the peach blossoms that were still being picked.

"Let's go, I don't think it's too early, let's go to the creek and have a look."

The peach blossom basket was smaller than Doy's, and it was not full at this time. Originally, I wanted to continue to pick her, but when I heard Du Yi's words, I decisively packed up the back basket and followed Du Yi back.

Du Yi never thought that the small pit he dug would be rewarded immediately. So when I passed by, I didn't go out of my way to look at it. I don't know if she is destined to be lucky or what today, when she sees the small bushes that were originally paved, they are destroyed at this time. And in the small pit, there was a faint whisper of animal injury, and his eyes suddenly widened.
