Lao Qu sighed, "This thing has indeed harmed a lot of people, but that was all in the past, and now as long as you follow the methods left by the older generation and operate it properly, there will be no big problem." He raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiao Yue, and asked suspiciously, "This heavenly fire is a secret thing in the salt field, how do you know?"

Xiao Yue was stunned for a moment, thought for a while and said, "The place where I used to live also had this thing, and we used it for cooking." ”

"I see. Lao Qu nodded, "Some people once said that this is an evil thing, because the usual fire is red, and this is blue, which is very similar to the ghost fire in the tomb, so we are all secretly using it, and we dare not publicize it." ”

Xiao Yue almost blurted out that these are feudal superstitions, and then she thinks that she is here now, and it is also inexplicable.

Therefore, she had to follow Lao Qu's words and said: "Anyway, as long as this fire can be used, our old people there have a good saying, no matter whether it is a black cat or a white cat, just catch a mouse." This day's fire is much more useful than coal and wood fire, how did you find it?"

"This thing appeared together with the salt mines, and the ancestors were often plagued by this thing when they mined salt, and later some people turned it into treasure. But people outside say it's not good, so we won't talk about it to the outside. ”

"Oh, I see. Xiaoyue talked to him for a long time, but her own problem was still not solved, so she asked directly: "Hey, Uncle Qu, I'm also unlucky enough, do you have a way to let me leave Huangjia Town!"

Lao Qu raised his eyebrows, looked at Xiao Yue, and then said with a smile: "Since you want to come and see the excitement, why are you in a hurry to leave?"

Xiao Yue was stunned by what he said, but she didn't know how to answer.

Lao Qu continued: "If the Huang family's salt well is sold to the imperial court, will the Huang family still keep you?"

Xiao Yue thought for a while and said, "I actually said that they recognized the wrong person, so I don't know when they will stay with me." ”

Lao Qu said slowly: "Oh, if you recognize the wrong person, don't worry, you will naturally let you go in a few days." ”

Xiao Yue said anxiously: "But I have other things to do, if I can't complete the task, my head of the family will blame me." ”

Lao Qu smiled and said, "Could it be that you came here, and the head of your family doesn't know?"

Satsuki nodded awkwardly.

"Well," sighed the old man, "when you are young, you always make some mistakes. He looked at Satsuki and continued, "If you tell me how to control these heavenly fires, I will help you get out of here." ”

Xiao Yue waved her hand, raised her head and said, "This, I really won't!"

Lao Qu pursed his lips and said suspiciously: "But you said that you used Tianhuo, so how do you use it?"

Xiao Yue said embarrassedly: "Someone else helped us get it, and I won't do it myself." ”

"How?"

Xiao Yue thought for a while and said, "It's to put the natural gas in a tank, with a pipe connected and a switch." Turn on the switch when you use it, and when the natural gas comes out, ignite it with fire. When not in use, turn off the switch and the fire will naturally go out. ”

"That's it... Lao Qu said thoughtfully, and suddenly asked, "What is that jar made of?"

"This... Satsuki thought for a moment and said, "I'm not sure, like iron or some other metal." ”

"Iron?" Lao Qu shook his head and said, "This thing was originally cheaper than coal and wood, and now it is specially made of iron cans, you have to know how expensive iron is, it seems that you have to think of other ways." ”

He lowered his head and muttered to himself, and Satsuki couldn't hear it clearly.

Seeing him talking to himself like this, Xiao Yue thought in her heart that he might not have the heart to help herself, so she said: "Uncle Qu, that's all I know, if there is nothing else, then I will leave." ”

Only then did Lao Qu raise his head and look at Xiao Yue, "I'll find a way to deal with your affairs, you can come to the salt farm again tomorrow." ”

When Xiao Yue heard him say this, she was overjoyed, and said with a smile: "I know about this, you are always in trouble, but I am really anxious to go back to Taiping County." ”

"Yes, I see. Lao Qu sighed, "It's just that I have to think about this matter, I don't want to be an enemy of the eldest young master of the Huang family because of this." ”

"Got it, there's Uncle Laoqu. Xiaoyue was reassured, and her mood was much better.

However, she didn't dare to put all her hopes on Uncle Qu, and after leaving the salt works, she wandered around the town again, taking the opportunity to write down the route.

After dark, Ergouzi and Da Niu took her to a small courtyard and let her rest here.

In the middle of the night, she took the opportunity to get up at night, ran to the door to take a look, and found that the two were guarding the gate.

The fence of the courtyard was bare, and it was one person high, and Satsuki felt that there was no chance, so she returned to the house disappointed and lay down until dawn.

Early the next morning, Liu Da came to see her with some pen and paper.

"Master Meng, my eldest young master asked you to help him write something. ”

Satsuki had already woken up and sat in the room thinking about countermeasures.

When she looked at the pen and paper in Liu Da's hand, she had a plan.

"What to write?" said Satsuki as she took the pen and paper, then the paper, and quietly flipped through the blank paper.

"The eldest young master said, let you write a letter to the master of Leda. Liu Da thought for a while and then said: "The content of the letter says that you are a guest in Huangjia Town, and invite him to come here as a guest." ”

"Oh, that's right. Xiao Yue took the things to the table, spread out the paper, put ink on the inkstone, thought about it and began to write.

As soon as she wrote two words, Xiao Yue suddenly exclaimed, "Oops!"

Liu Da was originally guarding the door of the room, and when he heard her call, he walked in to understand the situation.

"What's wrong?"

Xiao Yue pointed to the paper and said, "There was just a few inks dripping on this paper, and it can't be used, so you can help me find some." ”

Liu Da put one hand on his waist, looking not annoying, "Why is it so troublesome!" He walked to the middle of the courtyard and shouted at the gate: "Ergouzi, you go to the bookkeeper to ask for paper, remember to say that it is to write credit!"

Taking advantage of this, Satsuki tore off a piece of paper, then crumpled another piece of smudged paper and threw it on the table.

Liu Da returned to the house, and saw that Xiao Yue was in a daze with pen and ink, and he said, "Master Meng, I can only trouble you to wait." ”

"Oh, it's okay, I'm not in a hurry. Xiao Yue held her cheek with one hand and continued to be in a daze.

Liu Da smiled maliciously, "Master Meng, you are a little different from my bookkeeper. ”

"What's the difference?" Satsuki asked rhetorically. Half of the world, half of the world
