"Woo~Woo~"

Hearing the she-wolf's call, the snow wolf cubs began to howl and respond with the same eagerness.

The wolf is an extremely sensitive animal, and if the surroundings are open and the wind is in the right direction, the wolf can hear the howl of its companion within three kilometers.

The snow wolf in the ice field heard the sound and quickly determined the location of the wolf cubs.

Then it let out a long howl, turned into a white bolt of lightning, and ran in the direction of the wolf cub.

At this time, Haoyue is dreaming, she dreams that she has turned into a sesame-stuffed rice ball, and then is fighting with a bunch of leek-filled dumplings.

I have to say that this dream is also very bizarre.

"Yue'er... Wake up... Yue'er wake up", Shen Yinxing pushed Haoyue.

Hazy Moon: "Hmm......"

"Hmm..... A-Niang.... What's wrong? Haoyue was woken up by Shen Yinxing and rubbed her sleepy eyes.

Hazy Yue, who was woken up in the middle of the night, has not yet returned to consciousness, and looks a little dazed, and her appearance is very cute.

"Shhhh You listen! Shen Yinxing raised a finger at his mouth, motioning for Haoyue to listen carefully to the movements around him.

"Woo~Woo~"

A few loud and distant wolf howls scattered in the night on the long wind, and the sound slowly moved from far to near, and there were more than one to listen carefully.

As soon as I heard this vicissitudes of life, it was not from the little wolf cubs, and Haoyue subconsciously played a clever role.

Oops! It can't be the parents of the cubs!

The rest of the Xu family also heard the wolf howl that was getting closer and closer, and they lit torches one after another, and walked out of the tent with farm tools.

Because the camp was attacked by snakes last time, the Xu family has built a bonfire in the open space at the gate since then to prevent it from being attacked by wild beasts again.

As soon as he heard the wolf howl, Xu Jia, who reacted quickly, immediately got up and lit the bonfire stand, and the skyrocketing fire and smoke illuminated his face brightly and darkly.

Xu Jia was holding a shovel in one hand and his little nephew in the other, and his seven-year-old nephew also held a firewood knife in his hand.

Shen Yinxing also walked out of the tent with Haoyue in his arms, and Xu Jingyang and Xu Ajiu followed.

Because the tent is so rudimentary that it doesn't protect at all, it's safer for everyone to get together.

Women and children were surrounded in the middle, and the other men of the Xu family stood at the front with farm tools and torches.

"Whew~"

Even with the fire, the howls of the wolves were still getting closer and closer, and in a short time, the terrible howls of wolves sounded one after another in all directions.

It seems that they are surrounded by wolves.

A pair of green eyes emerge in the darkness, and are bright and extinguished in the night, like a wandering lone lamp.

The campfire stand was only about two meters wide, and beyond that, it was dark.

Shen Yinxing instantly turned on the barrier ability, holding Haoyue in one hand and a torch in the other.

She picked up the torch and took two steps forward, and then shone into the darkness, and Haoyue saw two huge blue-eyed gray wolves, squatting on the rocks a meter away from them, their eyes like hooks, and their eyes fierce and violent.

Adult wild wolves and wolf cubs give people completely different oppressive forces, as if they are two creatures.

The wolf cub is stupid and cute, kick it, and it will only whine aggrievedly with its tail between its legs, and the fierce wolf cub will only run over and bite your trouser leg.

The adult wolf's eyes are deep, their eyes are sharp and cold, and the momentum around them is cold and bloody, and their eyes are always staring at your neck.

Shen Yinxing threw the torch in his hand high, and the surrounding night sky was instantly illuminated, and more than a dozen blue-eyed gray wolves were squatting three meters away from the crowd, staring intently at people's throats, saliva on the corners of their mouths.

The wolves staring at her made Haoyue's scalp tingle, and she felt that the eyes of those wolves looking at her were like staring at a piece of fat meat.

The night wind whistled and screamed, and the torch fell steadily from high in the sky into Shen Yinxing's hands.

The wolves were still afraid of the fire in their bones, and they hesitated in place.

Suddenly, the wolves began to howl at the moon, and their voices were high and loud, as if they were summoning something.

"Whew~"

"Whew~"

Two distinct wolf howls exploded above people's heads, and in the night, two huge wolf shadows leaped down from the sky like lightning streamers.

By the light of the fire, Haoyue saw the two uninvited guests clearly.

A huge giant wolf's whole body was as white as frost, his half-squinted ice-blue eyes revealed a cold feeling, his long tail drooped, but the tip of his tail was slightly upturned, and his body exuded a terrifying momentum.

This white wolf looks like an adult of the Ice Plain Snow Wolf.

The other giant wolf had a silver-gray body, bigger than a white wolf, and his powerful muscles were full of explosive power, and his eyes revealed a ruthlessness.

This pair should be the head wolf couple, the father and mother of the five cubs.

As soon as the two giant wolves appeared, the wolves began to shrink the encirclement, gradually closing in on the crowd, and then began to howl incessantly.

In the tent, the basket of wolf cubs also whined in response.

Unlike the brainless snakes, the wolves have strong combat effectiveness, have a sense of teamwork, and know how to use various tactics to deal with the enemy under the leadership of the head wolf.

The wild wolf is extremely vindictive, and I am afraid that there will be no good results for the wolf pack in the suburbs.

Therefore, everyone did not stand still and did not dare to act rashly.

"Auntie, they should have come to find the little wolf cubs." Haoyue tugged at Shen Yinxing's sleeve: "Let's return the wolf cubs to them, they should leave,"

Haoyue was a little reluctant in her heart, she had already named those furries and regarded them as part of the family.

But other people's parents have come to the door, so we can't say that we haven't returned the children.

And these little ones will definitely be happier with their parents.

Shen Yinxing nodded and agreed with Hao Yue's opinion.

She reached out and lifted the tent beside her, then lifted the basket containing the wolf cubs.

As soon as the five howling wolf cubs appeared, the voices of the wolves changed, and they became excited and eager.

The two giant wolves stared intently at Shen Yinxing's every move, for fear that she would suddenly hurt her child.

Shen Yinxing stepped forward and placed the bamboo basket containing the wolf cub in the open space.

The head wolf couple was a little afraid of Shen Yinxing's breath, and waited for her to retreat before gathering around the bamboo basket.

The Ice Wolf has also been kept in captivity, so it is extremely human, and it only takes a look at the basket to know that the children are well taken care of.

The old man who stole its wolf cub while it was out foraging for food had been torn to pieces by it.

It glanced at Shen Yinxing, who had retreated into the distance, and then stepped forward and took the basket away.

"Whew~"

The silver-gray giant wolf next to him let out another long howl, and the wolves surrounding it dispersed instantly.

Before leaving, the wolf couple looked back at them deeply.

If the wolf turns back, it will either repay the favor or take revenge.

Haoyue thought to herself, hoping that this good karma would eventually bear good fruit.

It wasn't until the figures of the head wolf couple completely disappeared into the night that the Xu family breathed a sigh of relief.

Haoyue drooped her little head, but it was a pity that she and the five little guys had no fate after all.

Xu Jingyang looked at Haoyue's listless appearance, and he couldn't bear it, so he stepped forward to comfort her: "Oh, it's gone, it's gone, tomorrow Daddy will buy you a bunch of puppies, you can play as much as you want." ”

"Hmm...."Haoyue didn't speak, feeling a little empty in her heart.

Seeing that the wolves dispersed, the people of the Xu family were also relieved, but fortunately, it was just a false alarm.

Thinking that there was still work to be done tomorrow, they all went back to the tent and went back to sleep.

.......

However, tonight, Gongsun Li couldn't sleep anyway.

"The head of the family, find out, the one who sold the bamboo tube salt is the Xu family who offended you on the boat in the first place", the big butler arched.

When Gongsun Li heard this, he was furious: "What? Didn't I tell you to get rid of them a long time ago? ”

Facing the questioning, the big housekeeper broke into a cold sweat and touched the cold sweat on his forehead: "Go home, the villain did do what you said, but I didn't expect that the family to escape, and they have military status, so it's not easy for us to come clearly." ”

"Rubbish! What a fucking shit! ”

Gongsun Li was so angry that he kicked the big butler in the heart, and the big butler vomited blood again and again.

"And where did their salt come from?"

"Returning home, they dug the salt soil in the saline-alkali land, and the old farmers in the next village saw it with their own eyes."

When the second housekeeper saw the big housekeeper being beaten, he buried his head lower and spoke more carefully.

"Earth salt? That's impossible! Gongsun roared: "The quality of soil salt is extremely poor, and the refined salt is still poisonous, how is this possible!" ”

He is also a big man in the salt industry, and he also knows a little about boiling small salt with wall soil in some places, but that kind of salt has many impurities and is poisonous, and it is inedible at all.

The second housekeeper stepped forward and said, "Master, we brought back the old farmer, do you want to summon him?" ”

When Gongsun Li heard this, he immediately waved his sleeves: "Bring it up!" ”

The person who was brought up was none other than Lao Mengtou, who also lived in Erlitun, and he saw the Xu family sweeping salt from the ground more than once.

And once he overheard them boiling salt in the tent, but he didn't hear any specific steps that time.

Under the heavy reward, Lao Mengtou told everything he saw and heard, and Gongsun Li's face continued to change.

Gongsun took a sip of cold tea, and he couldn't imagine that there was really someone who could extract white salt from the soil, and the white salt made was even better than his family's sea salt.

Hmph, at the beginning, the saint meant that the salt in Hebei would be contracted by my grandson's family, but now the people of the Xu family actually don't know the height of the sky and dare to touch the interests of my grandson's family, they are really damned!

Gongsun is fierce, he must get this method of salt making, this matter can't be known to the saint first, if he lets the saint know the method of salt making, he has one less chip in his hand, I'm afraid it will also shake the status of the Gongsun family.

"You two listen, I don't care what method you use, I have to know how to make this soil salt in three days, otherwise it will be your death in three days!"

"No!" The two butlers trembled in response.

Gongsun Li thought about it, Da Yuan does not have perfect relevant laws now, and the Xu family's boiling of soil and salt is probably not good enough to convict people.

In this matter, we should quickly negotiate with my uncle, let my uncle and the officials move around more, and let them promulgate the relevant laws as soon as possible, and when the law comes out, it will be the death of the Xu family.

Gongsun Li instructed the two butlers again: "Tomorrow, you will find a group of people to go to Xu Ji Salt Shop to make trouble, and you can't let their reputation rise." ”

"No!"

Touching money is like killing parents, Gongsun Li looked at the gradually whitening sky outside the courtyard, and his face was full of fierceness.

Salt is not something that people like you can move.

……

The first wisp of cooking smoke on the outskirts of Changchun was lit by the widow's seventh aunt.

At this time, she was sitting by the open-air stove and boiling water, with a clump of dew-stained grass at her feet, and a sleeping Xu Xiaobao on her back.

There is no labor force at home, and the two children are small, so the matter of boiling salt can't help much, and it is not practical to take three taels of silver for nothing, so she gets up early every day to cook three meals a day for everyone.

Fortunately, Aunt Qi's cooking skills are deeply popular, and Haoyue always praises her skills as comparable to a three-star Michelin chef.

Yesterday, she heard Haoyue say what dumplings she wanted to eat, and after asking how to make them, she began to find out how to make dumplings.

And dough, chop dumpling filling, wrap dumplings, a set of actions in one go.

After listening to Haoyue say the method once, she knew what to do.

The dumplings stuffed with shepherd's cabbage and meat on the board are all thin and large, and the lid of the steaming pot is lifted, and the iron pot is gurgling and bubbling.

After the dumplings are put into the pot, the lid is covered and stuffed for a few minutes, and the fragrance wafts out, and then sprinkled with a handful of fragrant turnips and wild garlic before the pot, and the fresh and fragrant taste directly wakes up Haoyue from sleep.

"It's so fragrant, it's so fragrant......"

Haoyue smelled the fragrance of dumplings and got up directly from the bed.

"Yue'er is up? Come and eat hot, fragrant dumplings. Aunt Qi saw Haoyue get up and hurriedly beckoned to her.

Haoyue didn't expect that she just said the way to make dumplings yesterday, but today Aunt Qi made dumplings.

The dumplings stuffed with shepherd's cabbage and meat in the bowl have thin skin and large filling, and the juice flows sideways when you take a bite.

The meat filling of the dumplings is three points fat and seven points lean, with the fragrant and refreshing shepherd's cabbage, it tastes fragrant but not greasy, and it has an endless aftertaste.

"Aunt Qi is a good craft!" Haoyue admired while stuffing dumplings into her mouth.

Seeing Haoyue eating happily, Aunt Qi was also happy, she rubbed the flour on her hands: "If it's delicious, eat more......"

The rest of the Xu family is also full of praise for the fresh food of dumplings.

Xu Jingyang was also amazed after eating the dumplings: "This is what people eat, it's like a certain person, the food made by dogs doesn't eat it." ”

When Shen Yinxing heard this, he glanced at Xu Jingyang: "Huh? Itchy skin? I'm going to let you spit out the dumplings and then let you eat them, believe it or not? ”

Hearing Shen Yinxing's cruel words, Xu Jingyang shrank his head, and then pursed his lips and didn't dare to speak again.

Haoyue covered her face, Daddy, what are you doing here? Aren't you looking for trouble? I can't beat it, I can't afford to provoke it, and my mouth is still embarrassed every day......

"Daddy, if you talk like this, I'm afraid that sooner or later you will be beaten to death by Auntie." Hazy Moon had a black line on her face.

"Don't worry, the emperor has dragon qi to protect my body, and I can't die" Xu Jingyang touched his nose, looking indifferent.

Haoyue squinted, then Daddy, you can continue to do it.

"Hmph, today I want my aunt to accompany me to sell salt, Daddy, you work for me at home! You haven't worked for a long time, and A-Niang has always been doing it for you! Haoyue pursed her lips, her eyes widened.

"No, I'm protesting!"

"Protests are not effective!"
