Chapter 130: Buying Salt for Workmanship

Wu Liang walked forward with Jiajia in his arms, and he didn't know how long he walked before they saw the way down the mountain at the bend. Wu Liang kissed Jiabao and quickened his pace.

Suddenly, Wu Liang heard the sound of "click". Wu Liang slowed down vigilantly. His eyes searched the woods on either side. But the forest was very dense, and Wu Liang didn't see anything. Maybe he heard it wrong, Wu Liang thought as he walked.

"Ahh At the same time, a tiger also jumped out of the jungle in front of Wu Liang. Wu Liang glanced back, and at this time, the tiger in front of him pounced.

Wu Liang hugged Jiajia and "swished" up the tree. The two tigers almost collided. They circled the tree for a long time before leaving.

Wu Liang jumped off the tree, hugged Jiajia and continued to move forward. Jiajia fell asleep on Wu Liang's shoulder. Wu Liang went down the mountain along the mountain road. Down the hill is a village. Most of the townspeople are hunters, so the bazaar is full of people selling hides. Wu Liang finally found a grocery store. The proprietress of the grocery store wears a long skirt and a bun on her head. She also has a flower on her sideburns.

"You're from out of town, young man!" said the proprietress as she picked up the leftovers of the person who had just bought the goods.

"Yes, I want to buy some salt!" Wu Liang took out the money.

"That's all we have here!" the proprietress carried the copper plate in her hand.

"I don't have this!" Wu Liang stuffed his banknote into his arms.

"It's not easy for you to take a child! There's a restaurant in front of you that needs a guy, so try your luck!" said the proprietress as she pointed to a three-story building not far away.

"Thank you!" Wu Liang took Jiajia to the restaurant.

"What do you want to eat?" a guy asked, looking at Wu Liang.

"I'm here to work. Wu Liang looked at the restaurant. There is a bar counter on this level with six tables. There are now three tables full of diners.

"You come with me!" the guy led Wu Liang to the back hall.

"Rain Niang! There's someone to work on!"

The one called Yu Niang is actually a girl. She has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a beautiful face. She looked at Wu Liang carefully, and then at Jiajia in his arms.

"He'll be good!" Wu Liang touched Jiajia's head.

"You go chop wood! ten dollars a day!" Yu Niang pointed to the backyard.

Wu Liang came to the backyard to wake up Jiajia. He put Jiajia on the stool. Then Wu Liang looked at the pile of firewood that was more than one person high. He picked up the axe and got to work. The axe was like a toy in his hand. After a while, Wu Liang split a bunch. Jiajia took Wu Liang's chopped firewood.

"It's time to eat!" Rain Niang waved her white rag at the kitchen door.

Wu Liang threw the axe and picked up Jiajia and went into the kitchen. He saw the food and felt really hungry.

"Go to that room and eat!" Rain Niang pointed to the door of a room.

Wu Liang put down Jiajia, picked up the tray and walked into the room. Jiajia ran over. Wu Liang put the tray on the table. Jiajia climbed into her chair.

Wu Liang and Jiajia had a beautiful meal. Then, the two of them lay down on the bed in the house.

"Brother Wu Liang, when are we going back?" Jia Jia followed Wu Liang's example and put her arm under her head.

"It's good here! We'll stay for two days!" Wu Liang closed his eyes.

"What if Shizun comes to us?" Jiajia said, turning her head. At this time, Wu Liang was already asleep.

Wu Liang woke up in the afternoon. Wu Liang chopped another pile of firewood, and then took the water handed by Yu Niang and drank it with a clatter.

Yu Niang sent the water scoop back. When she came out, she gave Wu Liang ten copper plates.

"Sister Yu, what is the price of salt?"

"You want to buy salt?"

"Hmm! I want to buy some. Wu Liang said sincerely.

"When you leave, I'll give you a little!" Yu Niang finished speaking and went into the kitchen. Wu Liang picked up one of the ten copper coins and looked at the evening sun. Then, she put the copper coin in her pocket.

Wu Liang worked in the restaurant for three days. He used the copper plates he earned to buy some vegetables. Yu Niang gave him a packet of salt. Then, he said goodbye to Yu Niang and walked back with Jiajia in his arms.

Halfway up the mountain, Wu Liang met a hunter. Orion had already staggered past Wu Liang, but he turned around and shouted Wu Liang again.

"Where are you going with the child?" The hunter looked at Wu Liang holding the child in one hand and the vegetables in the other and felt very strange.

"Go up the mountain!" Wu Liang didn't know why Orion asked this question.

"In this mountain, there are only wild beasts and trees, what are you doing on the mountain?"

"Go to a friend's house!" Wu Liang replied without thinking.

"I've been hunting on this mountain for fifteen or sixteen years, and I've traveled almost all over this mountain forest, and I've never seen anyone! Besides, at the end of this road is a cliff, and your friend's house can't be in the sky?"

"Is there a cliff at the end of this road?" Wu Liang asked inexplicably.

"Of course!"

"Could it be that I took the wrong path?" brother, is there any other way here?" Wu Liang couldn't help but ask.

"This is the only way! However, when we hunt, we walk through the forest and grass to track the prey, and we all walk through the forest!"

"How could that ......" Wu Liang turned to watch the path up the mountain winding and rugged disappear at the end of the forest.

"Let's take the baby and go down the mountain quickly!" said Orion, turning and descending the mountain. Only Wu Liang was left holding Jiabao and standing in a daze with vegetables.

"Brother Wu Liang, let's go quickly!" Jiajia patted Wu Liang's cheek.

Wu Liang decided to go up and have a look. Didn't he come down this road? After he made up his mind, he continued to walk forward with Jiabao in his arms. Gradually, they came to the end of the road. Wu Liang hugged Jiabao and looked at it, and it was really like what the hunter said. There are no roads on either side, and there are cliffs in front.

How could this be? Wu Liang was a little confused.

"Jiajia, didn't we come from this road?" Wu Liang looked at Jiajia, who didn't know the slightest sorrow on his body.

"It should be this way!"

"But I remember we turned this way from the road in front of your master's door?"

"Hmm!" Jiajia nodded.

"But what about that road?" Wu Liang looked at the jungle on his right. It's dark in the jungle, where is the road? Wu Liang put down the vegetables and Jiabao. He picked up a stick and pulled the grass and trees on his right.

"Let's not look for it. When it's dark, the beasts will come out!" Jiajia's small eyes widened and looked around.

"We can't go back. Wu Liang became a little anxious.

"The master will look for us!" Jiajia hugged Wu Liang's leg.

Why didn't I think of it? Wu Liang hugged Jiajia and kissed it. He looked at the darkening sky, picked up the vegetables at his feet and headed down the mountain.
