Chapter 75: Achieving Coarse Salt Freedom
The darkness beneath your feet is bottomless.
Su Xiangxiang didn't expect that she trusted Xiu Bai so much, and as soon as her brain was hot, she jumped down.
The heart was in the air for two seconds, and then, the waist was firmly supported by a pair of arms, and Su Xiangxiang's toes fell into a warm and resolute embrace before they touched the ground.
Under the gap, the light was very dim, and Su Xiangxiang could only see the faint light reflected in her white hair.
Yizun followed, and jumped down with a thud, shaking the ground and trembling.
Su Xiangxiang was inexplicably a little weak-hearted, and hurriedly pushed away Xiu Bai and stepped aside.
Xiao Xiuye wiped his mouth and turned back into a human form, "Sister Xiangxiang, why did you come down too?" It's all sand and stones, nothing good."
Su Xiangxiang didn't answer, but smiled mysteriously, squatted down, and carefully touched the ground with her hand.
The ground is uneven, with many small potholes, the texture is brittle, and a little force can scrape off a layer of powder.
Su Xiangxiang pulled out the bone knife from the space, fumbled for a raised stone, and slammed it with the handle of the knife, breaking it off a small piece.
"Take me up and have a look."
Su Xiangxiang naturally hugged Xiu Bai's neck.
Yizun on the side stretched out his hand and took it back in a sneering manner.
The corners of Xiu Bai's lips were slightly hooked, and he reached out and hugged Princess Su Xiangxiang and jumped out of the ground steadily.
Yizun and Xiu Ye followed.
Su Xiangxiang took advantage of the bright natural light to carefully observe the stone in her hand.
The stone itself is a faint brown color, but a snow-white layer of lens has been precipitated on the surface, which looks fluffy and cute.
Su Xiangxiang carefully dug out a small piece of lens with her fingernails and tasted it on the tip of her tongue.
A salty and bitter taste suddenly swept through the entire mouth, and Su Xiangxiang couldn't help but wrinkle her facial features.
Xiu Bai stretched out his hand to snatch the stone from Su Xiangxiang's hand, "Don't eat dirty things."
Su Xiangxiang held the small stone like a treasure and refused to let go.
"It's not dirty, it's salt."
The three males on the side all showed puzzled expressions.
"But the salt is so delicious, but this thing is bitter and astringent, Sister Xiangxiang, you can't be mistaken, right?"
Xiu Ye tilted his little head, puzzled.
Su Xiangxiang smiled.
The little one followed her so long that he ate so much that he forgot the original taste of salt.
When Yizun and Xiubai heard this, they suddenly realized.
In the past, in order to maintain their health, they would eat a few handfuls of salt every month, and the taste was indeed bitter and astringent, which was unbearable.
"I can't see clearly in the dark, can you go down and help me see how many of these white crystals are in the whole cave?"
Yizun volunteered, turned around and burrowed into the crack in the ground again.
The three of them waited outside for a long time before they heard the echo of Yizun coming from the crack, "The cave is deep, the walls are full of white crystals, and I haven't found the end yet—"
The echo became smaller and smaller, as if Yizun was walking quickly towards the depths.
Su Xiangxiang was afraid that the stone wall in the cave was not solid and there was a risk of collapse, so she hurriedly shouted and summoned Yizun back.
The bad mood of being harassed by the monkeys just now was swept away, and Su Xiangxiang said happily, "Let's live nearby for a while, if all the salt in this mine is refined, we won't have to buy salt from others anymore!"
In the beast world, only a small number of orcs living by the sea knew how to make salt, and the salt needed by the inland orcs was bought from salt dealers at a high price.
Su Xiangxiang, an ordinary human, can really make salt from this small stone with white flowers?
Yizun and Xiu Bai glanced at each other, tacitly suppressed the doubts in their hearts, and both nodded.
Yizun is willing to support Su Xiangxiang regardless of right or wrong.
And Xiubai has seen too many miracles brought by Su Xiangxiang herself.
Although I groped around until dusk, I finally chose a leeward area not far from the creek.
The vegetation here is dense, the terrain is flat, and the proximity to water sources is convenient for the mining and refining of salt mines in the later period.
After a simple meal after cleaning up, several people fell asleep in exhaustion.
-- Dividing line --
Dark night,
On a towering tree next to the waterfall, countless monkeys are squeaking and screaming.
The terrain is steep and wooded, and it is the base camp of a group of robber monkeys.
Beneath the ancient trees lay countless spar skins, all of which were the trophies of the monkeys.
The little monkeys are unable to transform into human form, but they greedily snatch everything from the passengers, eating only the food in them, and discarding the rest indiscriminately.
And at this moment, these lost treasures will all fall into the hands of a male of a yin owl.
The horde's horde, fearful screams even drowned out the roaring water.
They went one after another, trying to defend their only home, only to watch their companions turn into dry corpses one by one.
Xiu Zhen held the neck of a small monkey in his hand, pinched it gently, and separated his body.
In his eyes, the little monkeys are just a meal that is not enough to stuff between his teeth.
The monkeys screamed in grief and fear.
Even the most grumpy boar in the forest will clumsily catch up with them for miles at most, losing a few hapless companions who are slow runners.
But this terrifying orc was completely different, and the monkeys were doomed to death the moment they saw him.
The angry and resistant monkey cries faded away, for there were few of their kind.
The few remaining little monkeys trembled and fell to their knees in front of Xiuzhen.
They know that running won't help.
Xiuzhen's expression was still indifferent, like a killing machine, constantly sucking the monkeys presented to him by his subordinates.
Suddenly, Xiuzhen paused slightly, and he hesitated to take a half step back, removing his foot from a torn animal skin.
Xiuzhen lowered his head, his pupils staring closely at a small piece of broken animal skin.
The monkeys, thinking that they had seen the hope of life, squeaked flatteringly.
Xiu Zhenwu squatted down, slowly dragged the broken animal skin in the center of his palm, and took a deep breath with a snort.
Rich earthy and grassy scents rush into the nostrils, but there is also a hint of imperceptible familiar fragrance mixed in.
"Where do you want to escape?"
Xiuzhen smiled, but the monkeys on the side trembled.
-- Dividing line --
Early the next morning, Su Xiangxiang took a few people to start the salt-making project.
The light underneath the salt mine is dim, and mining is a manual task, and two middle-aged males, Xiubai and Yizun, are responsible for breaking up and throwing stones down the mine.
Su Xiangxiang and Xiu Ye were responsible for transporting and melting the ore more easily.
Yizun and Xiuzhen's steel claw iron fist easily shattered a layer of salt crystals on the surface of the ore.
White rubble was thrown out of the cave and gradually piled up into a hill.
A steady stream of ore was sent by Xiu Ye to the side of his residence.
Su Xiangxiang took water from a nearby creek and boiled it to melt.
In less than a day, the four of them worked together to make six or seven jars of coarse salt.
Su Xiangxiang and Xiubai couldn't fit the space, so they had to dig a deep pit in place and hide the remaining coarse salt.
In the evening, Su Xiangxiang held a jar of salt and touched the finely broken crystals in her hand.
The quantity of this salt is enough, but the quality is it......
When boiling coarse salt, there is no filter cloth, so you can only take out some sand and salt crystals together.
Although in the opinion of Xiubai and others, the quality of such salt is already very good, but Su Xiangxiang, who is used to eating fine salt, feels unsatisfactory.
The next day, the four of them had made enough salt to have a hard time to spare, so they planned to wander around the neighborhood.
After walking in the forest for most of the day, a few people found a village, and not far from the path of the village, there was a lively little market.
Su Xiangxiang suddenly became interested.
The last time she went to the market, she found the treasure of Yizun, and this time there might be something good.
Considering Yizun's appearance, if his identity as a white lion is recognized, there will inevitably be a commotion.
Su Xiangxiang could only persuade her with good words and let Xiu Ye accompany Yizun home first.
Xiubai is the highest level, and accompanying Su Xiangxiang to the market can give her comprehensive protection, so she naturally became the first choice to accompany her shopping.
Yizun was a little disappointed, but he still obediently obeyed the arrangement.
It's Xiao Xiuye, who is noisy and wants to go to the market to have a look.
In order not to make Yizun feel isolated, Su Xiangxiang had to promise the little guy to sleep with him at night.
Xiu Ye's big watery eyes turned around twice, and then he agreed to Su Xiangxiang's arrangement.
Xiu Bai and Su Xiangxiang walked into the market side by side, the two were not far away, their shoulders were just a fist apart, and Su Xiangxiang was dressed as a male, the two of them seemed to be travelers who met in Pingshui.
As far as the eye can see, the bazaar is bustling with different orcs selling a wide variety of goods.
Among them, the stalls in the middle of the market are the most popular.
It was surrounded by passers-by, and a very thick voice in the center of the stall could be faintly heard.
Passers-by rushed into the crowd next to the stalls, and some of the crowds squeezed out with difficulty, holding a few thick animal skins in their hands.
Su Xiangxiang was a little curious.
Why are stalls selling hides so popular?
It seems that the orcs who pass by, regardless of men, women and children, will squeeze in to buy one or two as many as they want.
Xiu Bai saw Su Xiangxiang's doubts, so he gently took her hand and walked towards the stall.
The closer you get to the stall, the more crowded people become, and Su Xiangxiang is a small person among the orcs, and she can't see the front when she stands on tiptoe.
She was worrying about how to squeeze in to find out, and the hard chest behind her silently got closer.
Xiu Bai's hands are in a ring shape, and Su Xiangxiang is circled in the center.
The strong arm separates her with a small space.
In a noisy crowd, you can move forward without being touched by others.
The person in front of him who was pushed away by Xiu Bai would occasionally look back angrily, and when he saw the tall Xiu Bai with a cold face, he could only smile and give way sideways.
Su Xiangxiang squeezed to the front of the stall in this way.
The stalls were rudimentary, with thick animal skins on a platform made of a few branches.
Behind the stall stood two men with big shoulders and round waists.
Although they are not as tall as Xiubai, their bucket-like waists and abdomen and stocky limbs make them look very strong.
