Chapter Seventy-One: The First Salt in the World
"Be careful." Jiang Bai reminded in a deep voice: "If those people were there last night, they would have had a vicious fight. ”
"No need." Hua Hongying smiled bitterly: "Those people are only afraid that they have already touched the door and left, if they were still there, I am afraid that they would have stopped in front of us and attacked us a long time ago." ”
Hua Hongying is experienced and spicy, as soon as she said this, everyone nodded one after another, now as long as there is a person holding a bamboo pole guarding the intersection, no one else will think about it. And looking at it now, the village was silent, and those people should have left a long time ago.
Since this is the case, there is nothing to taboo, the big guy was busy for a while, and smoothly went to the entrance of the village. After Ding Xiaocong broke it, he put the rope away again, in the mountains, this thing is very useful.
Entering the corridor of the village, everyone walked forward cautiously, the whole village was carved out of the cliff, there was a railing on the other side of the cliff, and all that was left were stone houses next to each other, and there was no wild land for Tibetans.
The scale of the village is not large, there are about 100 households, and the gate of each house faces south, which is similar to the tube building. But now it's empty, and there's no one left.
For the sake of safety, they opened the door to check every house along the way, and found a lot of traces of recent human activity, but they didn't find even a single person, so they walked to the end of the other side.
At the end of the room was a huge stone chamber, with rows of stone troughs in it, and water flowed in it, and this was obviously the witch salt workshop. Sure enough, as Hua Hongying expected, those people had all left, but they didn't know where they went.
Looking at the other side of the village, there are still cliffs, but there is no plank road at all, can't those people fly away? I didn't see any planes.
Everyone turned their attention to Hua Hongying again, after all, he was the only one here, an old man, a real adult.
After thinking for a while, Hua Hongying waved her hand, "Don't worry about those people, let's do our own thing." ”
Everyone is here to find the witch, there is no need to care about others, the business is important, but ...... How do I find it?
had no clue at all, and finally at the invitation of Jiu Mi, all the big guys went to her house, ready to rest, and then make a good calculation, looking for clues.
Because it is located on the sunny side of the mountain, the stone room here is not cold at all, dry and warm, and when the mountain wind blows, it is very cool, except for being too high, it is very livable in all aspects. The interior layout here is similar, each family has three rooms, in addition to the entrance hall, each has its own east and west wings, as for the kitchen, it is directly located in the deepest part of the hall.
After entering the house, Jiu Qi looked extremely excited, running around the room, here she hasn't been back for ten years, homesickness is eager, overflowing, pulling the two girls to keep explaining.
Hua Hongying stood in the hall, but her attention was attracted by the simple kitchen of the human house.
There are two sinks in the kitchen, each with two streams of clean water.
Ding Xiaocong followed his gaze and looked over, full of praise, the tap water thousands of years ago was still living water, and it was hot and cold!
"How could it be hot water!" Hua Hongying glanced at Ding Xiaocong and walked over quickly.
Each copied a handful of water and tasted it in their hands, Hua Hongying's eyes lit up, and she exclaimed, "This water is salty!" It tastes so good......"
Everyone has drunk salt water, how can it taste good? Ding Xiaocong's face was full of disbelief, he walked over and picked up a handful of water and tasted it, but it was tasteless, he copied water from another sink and tasted it, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
This is salt water, but it tastes completely different from the salt water washed out of the salt at home, mixed with an indescribable salty taste, it tastes fresh, Hua Hongying is not deceiving, the taste is really good!
"Hey! Come and taste the water. Ding Xiaocong hurriedly shouted, do you want everyone to share good things.
The two girls ran over and tasted each other, all of them were surprised, they had never drunk such a delicious salt water.
Jiu Mi's face should be like this, and he said triumphantly: "I haven't seen it, have you?" This is our witch salt water, and the witch salt steamed out of this water is unparalleled in the world! ”
Indeed, the taste of salt water can be so delicious, it can be unparalleled in the world!
"Lao Hua, there is no one here anyway, or let's pick a room to live in, and it should be a holiday villa." Seeing Hua Hongying's eyes dewed in thought, Ding Xiaocong quipped.
Hua Hongying waved her hand and simply leaned her face on the saltwater sink.
"Uncle Hua, it's good to taste this water, you can't drink more!" Jiu Qi hurriedly persuaded. Drinking too much salt brine will poison people to death with salt, and many people in ancient times committed suicide by this method.
Hua Hongying put her face sideways on the water, she didn't know what she was looking at, waved her hand and said, "Don't make trouble, sister, who said that my old man wants to drink this water?" ”
So what is he...... The four young men looked at each other.
Leaning slightly, Hua Hongying raised her head again, turned around and asked solemnly, "Where did you get this salt brine from?" ”
"Oh." Jiu Qi explained: "Legend has it, the witch girl lives in our mountain, where the mother is in, the witch salt is endless, this water is directly from the belly of the mountain, our village is here, because there is salt brine." ”
"And where's the biggest brine you have here?" Hua Hongying seemed to think of something and asked eagerly.
Jiu Yu was inexplicable, "Of course it's in the witch salt workshop." ”
"Let's go!" Hua Hongying didn't have time to explain, so she put down a word in a short and powerful way, and walked out quickly.
Lao Hua must have discovered something, and the four young people hurriedly followed.
Hurried all the way to the witch salt workshop at the end of the village, Hua Hongying searched along the trough, and finally found the largest salt brine outlet in the deepest part of the workshop.
It was a natural crack in the stone, almost a triangle of small at the top and large at the bottom, about a meter on each of the three sides, and a bubbling spring flowed out of the hole and into the sink of the workshop.
Hua Hongying picked up the water and tasted it, her eyes widened suddenly, and she lay down at the entrance of the cave and looked inside.
At this time, Ding Xiaocong and the others also reacted, could it be ......
"Those people are in here?!" The four exclaimed in unison, and then all nodded their heads again, which seemed to be the only plausible explanation.
Hua Hongying turned around and said: "Wu Gu is the goddess of Wushan, if it is really in this mountain, then this must be the only entrance!" ”
Jiu Qi was a little anxious, "This is a forbidden place in the village, no one has entered it for thousands of years, will these guys make trouble?!" ”
"Anyway, we'll have to go in and have a look." Ding Xiaocong said categorically.
Several people nodded to each other, immediately put down their backpacks, and began to pack their things to prepare for the hole.
Jiu Qi was so anxious that he was about to cry, walking back and forth in a panic, stomping his feet and babbling: "How can I enter here?" How can you get in! What should I do if my mother is angry?!"
