Chapter 5: Amber

Qin He spent all the money on hand, and took some credit from Ma Mian Liu-this account Ma Mian Liu didn't want to take credit, but Qin He turned over the old things and reminded him that he had cheated Xu Gang of money with a broken pot.

"You refuse to give me credit, I can only let Xu Gang come to credit tomorrow." Qin He took out the rogue nature of his predecessor.

Ma Yanliu smiled helplessly, and finally gave him credit, and at the same time complained in his heart - the surnamed Qin played with a plague woman every night, and he didn't know if he would live until the day when he could repay his money.

If you raise a son of a bitch, you should do white things for him in advance and follow him!

When Qin He was sent away, the numb-faced Liuyou was still scolding angrily in his heart.

Qin He used a wooden cart to transport iron pots and bricks to Xu Gang's house, he had not healed from the injuries he had been beaten with black sticks before, and he had done physical work one after another, and at this time he was in pain, so he could only sit in the yard and rest first.

After taking a nap and waking up, he didn't see Xu Gang, and Qin He couldn't help but get anxious.

When I stayed up until the third watch, there was a noise behind the house.

Qin He looked around, and Xu Gang, who was half covered in mud, came back with half a bucket of water.

"What's the matter with you?" Qin He asked.

"The road was too dark, and I stepped into a pit." Xu Gang replied. He rolled up his trousers, revealing a long bloody cut.

"To be disinfected." Qin He frowned, and immediately ignored Xu Gang's objection and cleaned his wounds with wine.

It's late tonight, and the rest of the work can only be done tomorrow. The two of them found straw to cover the guy and went to rest.

When he returned home, Qin He found that Xie Yuan was still waiting for him.

"Xianggong, the little woman cooked something for you, you can eat a little and then rest."

Qin He walked to the table and found that there was indeed a bowl of cereals and two sweet potatoes on the table.

There was only a little food left in the house, and the woman cooked it all for herself.

"I've eaten outside, you can eat it yourself." Qin He said.

Xie Yuan just shook his head.

She knew that she was no longer the eldest lady in the past, and now she was under the fence, and she could only live by looking at the face of the man in front of her.

No matter how hungry she was, she didn't dare to eat this last bit of leftovers.

"You can eat with confidence." Qin He knew that she was afraid of herself, "But I did eat it, you smell, I still smell of wine!" ”

Of course, Xie Yuan didn't come over to smell it, and said with a red face: "The little woman also prepared something for her husband." ”

"What?"

Xie Yuan took out a sand table.

Qin He was stunned, but after seeing her writing on the sand table with a wooden stick, he immediately understood Xie Yuan's intentions.

"You want to teach me how to read with this?"

Xie Yuan nodded: "Paper and pen are too expensive, Xianggong can use this first." ”

Qin He was overjoyed, pulled a few times on the sand table with a wooden stick, and wrote a few simplified characters from his previous life.

Xie Yuan couldn't understand it, so he just thought that Xianggong was scribbling.

Qin He suddenly thought of something and asked, "Where did you get this lot of fine sand?" ”

"The little woman didn't dare to go far, so she slowly picked it up in the corner of the courtyard."

"Thank you for your hard work." Qin He nodded approvingly.

"The little woman only hopes that after reading and hyphenating words, she will be able to keep her promise......"

Qin He's heart trembled.

This woman must have been pampered in the past, but now she pleases herself everywhere. Although the two only met today, Qin He was the only life-saving straw she could hold.

"Don't worry, I'll be able to give you an identity soon." Qin He said.

What he said was identity, which naturally meant that in the future, he would spend money to settle the matter of hard labor for Xie Yuan, so that she could see the light of day again.

But Xie Yuan suddenly blushed with shame, obviously thinking of "fame".

"Alright, let's get some rest early." Qin He was still in pain.

He lay down on the bed first.

Xie Yuan didn't dare to squeeze over to sleep together, and Qin He didn't bother to care about her, she was tired for a day, and sleepiness soon hit.

The night passed.

Qin He, who woke up, stretched his waist for a long time.

Sure enough, Xie Yuan probably stayed up at the table for a long time last night before closing his eyes, and he was sleeping on the table at the moment.

After all, it's the eldest lady, and the sleeping appearance is really bad.

Qin He found a ragged shirt to cover Xie Yuan's body, and at the same time, he accidentally caught a glimpse of the two balls that were crushed and deformed, and immediately looked away.

I can't see this in the morning.

Qin He walked out quickly.

Over there, Xu Gang got up earlier than Qin He, had already built the earthen stove, and wanted to go to the bitter pool to fetch water with a bucket.

Qin He hurriedly stopped him.

"You can't do this during the day." He reminded.

"I'm just fetching water," Xu Gang felt that Qin He was a little too careful, "Who knew that we were going to use Kutan water to make salt?" ”

Qin He still shook his head.

Others can't imagine that Kutan water can make salt, but if they see it, most of them will be suspicious.

Salt making is not as good as petty theft, it is a felony to lose your head, and only by being careful can you sail a ship of ten thousand years.

"Just listen to me." Qin He said.

"Okay, Brother Qin, I'll listen to you." Xu Gang smiled and put down the bucket in his hand.

"Let's do business as usual today, and we'll get back to work in the evening."

"Good!"

The work of moving sheep is not every day, and if they do it every day, their bodies will not be able to bear it.

Xu Gang proposed to go to Bamboo Shoot Road to make a profit.

The so-called bamboo shoot road refers to a wide and narrow path shaped like a pointed bamboo shoot, and on both sides of the path are bottomless swamps, which are most suitable for attacking single guests passing by, and after looting their belongings, the corpses sink directly into the swamp.

Qin He had just crossed over from another civilized society, and unlike Xu Gang, who had three chaotic views, of course he couldn't accept this kind of thing easily.

"It's better not to make a fuss right now." Qin He vetoed the proposal.

Xu Gang could only obey.

The two wandered around the street for a while, Qin He was interested in familiarizing himself with the various forces on the street, and at the same time paying attention to observing and listening to various wind directions.

Speaking of his predecessor, he really lived half his life in vain, and there was no useful information in the memories he left.

I don't understand anything, no wonder I offended the wrong person, and I was beaten to death in a straw pile.

However, the criss-crossing of forces in southern Xinjiang is not something that Qin He can figure out in one day.

In the evening, the two turned back and continued their salt-making business.

Xu Gang carried a bucket to Kutan to fetch water, Qin He reminded him not to hurt his leg again, and then he tried to make salt with the small half bucket that Xu Gang left last night.

To be honest, he wasn't completely sure if he could get the salt out, but at the moment there was only one chance to turn over, and he had to seize it anyway.

Looking at the bucket of dirty and smelly bitter pool water, Qin He's brows were about to twist together.

……

The night is getting darker.

Xu Gang came back with two buckets full of water.

When he saw Qin He sitting by the earthen stove with a sad face, he hurriedly put down the water, walked over and comforted: "Brother Qin, it doesn't matter if you don't burn the salt, we still have many ways to make money." ”

Qin He sighed and ignored him.

Xu Gang continued: "I think we should go to the bamboo shoot road to make a fortune, and there is no profit." ”

At this time, Qin He took out a small handful of crystals and put them in front of Xu Gang.

"Alas, I didn't expect so much water, only such a little salt was boiled, and the quality was very average."

The quality that Qin He said was generally compared with the refined salt he ate in his previous life.

Xu Gang looked at the amber crystals full of impurities, but he was overjoyed.

He held out his finger and dipped it a little.

After the entrance, it was bitter and salty, but Xu Gang's face bloomed with joy.
