Chapter 571: Grown Up
In addition to eating various nutrients needed for survival from food, some trace elements are also indispensable, such as vitamins, amino acids, calcium, etc., and salt is undoubtedly one of the most indispensable ingredients.
If people don't eat salt for a long time, it will lead to osteoporosis, lack of strength, no vitality, and the most direct manifestation is gray hair.
Sweat, sweat is salty, it contains salt, and the salt of the human body is ingested in daily life.
But now, there is no salt in Zhoujia Village, there is no salt at all, not only can the meat food not be well preserved, but even the villagers are in a situation, they have already shown the condition of gray hair, in fact, they have reached a very dangerous point, and they urgently need to be replenished with salt.
But where do you go to get salt now? The world has changed dramatically, the system of industrial agriculture is almost completely paralyzed, and everything is used for a little less, and many things are simply not bought.
"There is no salt, this is difficult, the surrounding cities are empty, don't want to find anything useful, this is not counted, even the base city is afraid that there is a serious shortage of salt, after all, this is an inland province, and it does not produce salt, and the place where salt is produced, not to mention the problem of whether it is still produced or not, is still producing salt, I'm afraid transportation is a big problem", Ling Tao frowned, entangled, this problem is not solved, it will die in the back, but how to solve it? Ling Tao also threw stones to hit the sky, there was no way.
From ancient times to the present day, salt has been an important resource. In ancient times, salt was even more important than iron as a strategic material. It has always been tightly held in the hands of the state, if private individuals dare to sell salt. If you are discovered, you will be cut off from your skull.
"Hey, I know this problem, but there is no way now, Brother Ling, I won't hide it from you, because I can't get salt supplements for a long time, the physical strength of the villagers has decreased significantly, if I can't solve the problem of salt, I'm afraid it will be a problem to even walk in the world." Zhou Taigong shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Nodding, Ling Tao said in a deep voice: "This problem must be solved urgently, even more important than anything, I want to think about it and see if I can get some salt to get over the difficulties in front of me."
"Okay, it's going to trouble Brother Ling, it's not too early now, the place you prepared for Brother Ling has been cleaned up. You guys rest early," Zhou Taigong said as he stood up.
Before you know it, it's getting dark, and the day is gone. Ling Tao even forgot to find the gorilla to 'settle accounts', but because the salt problem is related to the survival of hundreds of people in Zhoujia Village. Other things are insignificant.
Led by a villager, Ling Tao and Leng Yingying came to a small wooden house. The wooden houses are newly built and even more elaborate than the others. Obviously, it was specially prepared for Ling Tao.
Ling Tao was not polite, and took Leng Yingying to the nearest house, there were all kinds of furniture in it, but they were all wooden, tables, chairs, beds, cabinets, etc., and the workmanship was not bad, Ling Tao knew that there were several carpenters in Zhoujia Village.
"Mr. Ling, do you think there is anything missing? Just say what you need, and the storage will be ready for you soon," said the villager who brought Ling Tao here with great enthusiasm.
"Thank you, it's all there, the rest is not needed, I'm sorry for you", Ling Tao said with a smile, it can be seen that the villagers have really spent a lot of effort in order to be grateful to themselves.
"Well, that's okay, I won't disturb Mr. Ling and Miss Leng to rest, by the way, there is a bedroom over there, and hot water and toiletries have been prepared in the room on the other side, don't disturb you, I'll go first", the other party gave a general introduction and left.
Ling Tao smiled bitterly, the villagers were too enthusiastic, it was impossible to refuse, even the hot water was ready, which was too thoughtful.
"Yingying, you go wash up first, it's hard for you for so many days", Ling Tao looked at Leng Yingying and said.
"Well, then I'll go first", Leng Yingying nodded, as a girl who loves cleanliness, she can't wash for so many days, and it's really hard for her.
Because there is a river in this basin, the water of the river is groundwater, so there is no need to worry about water shortage.
Leng Yingying closed the door to wash, the sound of dripping water came, Ling Tao didn't know why, suddenly he was a little uneasy, this was purely an instinctive reaction.
Shaking his head and throwing away the strange feeling in his heart, Ling Tao looked at this small cabin, this should be his home for a while in the future.
The wooden house is not big, there are only three rooms, one side is the bedroom, the other side is the washing place, and the middle is the living room, because the wooden house is not big, so the three rooms are very 'exquisite', that is, very small, and the total area will not add up to more than fifty square meters, which is a real snail dwelling.
The wooden house is built in a clean place, and no one will disturb it for more than a hundred meters around, obviously the villagers are careful, and as for safety, this is not a problem at all.
The girls wash very slowly, and Leng Yingying finished washing after more than an hour, but she faced this extremely embarrassing problem, the skirt ** or something was washed by her by the way because it was dirty, and then, she didn't have a clean change of clothes!
Standing alone in the bathroom, Leng Yingying was a little dumbfounded, what should I do? At this time, she had no strands, and her beautiful figure was fully revealed, but no one could appreciate it.
Biting her lip, Leng Yingying looked at the closed door, her face turned red, Ling Tao was in a living room outside, if she wanted to go to the bedroom on the other side, she would definitely have to pass through the living room, and then, how could she go out without wearing anything?
After a moment of cramping, Leng Yingying gritted her teeth and said to herself in her heart, "Anyway, it's all Brother Ling Tao's in the future......
"Brother Ling Tao, I'm out", with such an idea, Leng Yingying said outside the door.
"En", Ling Tao replied outside, obviously unaware of the problem.
Ling Tao, who was in the living room outside, was sitting on a chair waiting for Leng Yingying's turn to wash after washing, after all, he hadn't washed well for so many days, and it was false to say that he was not uncomfortable.
Then, the door opened, and in the moonlight through the window, Ling Tao saw a white figure come out of the bathroom, and then, like a frightened rabbit, swooped through the living room and ran into the bedroom.......
Ling Tao blinked, dumbfounded, although Leng Yingying ran fast, but with his eyesight, he could see clearly, like snowy skin, bumpy figure, snow mounds like jade bowls, and what kind of ...... grass.
Whew, Ling Tao's breathing was many times heavier at once, as if he was about to breathe fire, his face was red, although he and Leng Yingying had been 'privately agreed for life', but the most intimate one was hugging and hugging the most kissing or something, such a picture was ...... like never before.
"I'm done, Brother Ling Tao, go wash it", Leng Yingying's voice came from the bedroom, Ling Tao could clearly hear her voice trembling.
"Oh, what a ......", Ling Tao walked into the bathroom with a heavy heart.
The washroom is not big, there is a special drain for pouring sewage, and then, in the middle is a big wooden barrel, the kind where the whole person can go in and take a bath, and there are more than ten wooden buckets on the side, some with hot water, some with cold water, which are obviously prepared by the villagers.
Then, towels, toothbrushes, or new ones, shampoo and soap, I don't know where the villagers in Zhoujia Village got them or they are reluctant to use them.
After a little look, as soon as Ling Tao looked up, he saw Leng Yingying washing the wet clothes hanging on the side, the underwear/clothes were ......, okay, Ling Tao's heartbeat accelerated again, this is really exciting, although it is just like that, but this matter, as a party to Ling Tao, has a different feeling.
I don't know what kind of mood he was in, Ling Tao washed in a daze, and he didn't know how long he had been washing, until Leng Yingying worriedly asked him if he had washed it before he 'woke up' .......
"Has Brother Ling Tao washed it"?
"Almost......"!
"Oh......"
Silent, Ling Tao and Leng Yingying didn't know what to say next.
"Otherwise, I'll go outside and find a place to spend the night," Ling Tao said after a moment of silence.
"Where are you going so late, sleep......". Leng Yingying said, her voice trembling a little.
"However, our clothes were all washed, we had no clothes on, and we only had a ...... bed," Ling Tao said dumbfounded.
……
Silent again, I don't know how long it was, Leng Yingying's voice came again and said: "It's late, sleep, fool ......."
Then, with a heartbeat, Ling Tao understood in an instant, he understood ......!
Walking out of the bathroom, through the living room, and into the bedroom, Leng Yingying had already wrapped herself tightly in the quilt, only showing her small head to look at Ling Tao in the dark.
Ling Tao didn't get dressed either, so he quickly jumped on/bed and pulled the quilt to cover himself.
The bed was not big, only a quilt, and then, the two inevitably made physical contact, because of their honesty, both of them tremb......led like an electric shock.
Subconsciously, out of biological instinct, Ling Tao felt Leng Yingying's body and leaned over to .......
"I'm afraid ......," Leng Yingying whispered.
"I don't know what to do ......," Ling Tao replied with heavy breathing.
"Well, then...... You tap .......
"Good ......".
……
窸窸窣窣窸窸窣窣窣......
"Hurt ......" Leng Yingying's cry of pain was like crying......
"I'm sorry...... I ......".
"Well...... fool, slow down ......."
"Good ......"
Then, gradually, some kind of music began to play in the night.
Some things don't need to be taught, and under the instinct of life, everything is so ...... naturally.
Then, two boys and girls grew up overnight ....... (To be continued......)
