The salt pans on the eastern outskirts of Overwatch City have been expanded several times in recent years, and the scale is already very different from the beginning.

As you head from the road leading to Overwatch City to the Salt Works, the first thing you see is a village. This is where the salt workers and their families live, and there are hundreds of houses and courtyards.

There are small shops such as blacksmith shops, tailor shops, and grocery stores in the village, as well as a school hall. These hired workers had a good income, and they no longer had to make their children work at a young age to earn a living, so they hired husbands to teach them to read.

After passing through the village, there is a large square in front of you that is under the prohibition of the formation. There are several neat rows of large houses in the square, all of which are tall chimneys, and these big houses are all factories for refining salt.

As for the storehouse, it is still in an abandoned mine, and the inside has been renovated and made neat and bright. Several huge pools of water contain the pulp of salted vegetables and the solvent used to refine the salt. In the dry stone chamber excavated around it, a large amount of salt was hoarded.

After Ah Yue finished today's vegetable pulp and solvent, he walked out of the mine and locked the door.

He walked all the way through the square, came to the village, entered Chen Hao's house, took out a rag and a broom, and began to clean up.

"The vegetable pulp is almost running out, Brother Hao should be coming over soon, right?" Ah Yue secretly thought while skillfully cleaning.

In the past few years, Chen Hao has come to process the salt vegetables every few days and ten days, decompose the salt vegetables into a slurry with "dissociation", and configure several large pools of refining solvents.

Sometimes, Chen Hao would stay in his old room for one night. Therefore, Ah Yue would always clean Chen Hao's room every two days.

When he wiped the window, Ah Yue saw Chen Hao from the window, and he really came.

"Ah Yue, you're very diligent. Chen Hao smiled and praised.

"Brother Hao, anyway, my work is done, and it's okay to be idle. I was thinking that you should be coming soon, and I wanted to clean your room in case you were going to rest here for the night. Ah Yue said with a grin.

Chen Hao entered the room, sat down at the table, and said to Ah Yue: "Okay, it's clean." You go and find your third uncle, I have something to discuss with you. ”

Shi San has been helping Chen Hao manage the salt farm all these years, although he does not have any outstanding management skills, but the salt farm work is simple, and most of the hired workers are poor people recruited by Shi San himself, and he is very obedient and grateful to him. After a long time, Shi San can also do the things of the salt field smoothly.

Hearing that Chen Hao was looking for him, Shi San hurriedly came out of the big house where he was practicing salt, and went to Chen Hao's house with Ah Yue.

"Uncle Shi, please be seated. Chen Hao said.

Shi San looked at Chen Hao, and always felt that he was a little different from before, and he looked a little solemn. So he sat down as he said and asked seriously, "Teacher Chen, is there something wrong?"

"Ah Yue, you can sit down too. Chen Hao didn't answer in a hurry, and looked at Ah Yuedao.

In recent years, Ah Yue has also grown from a small teenager to a big boy. But in front of Chen Hao, he still maintained respect and worship.

Hearing Chen Hao ask him to sit down, he felt a little surprised. Brother Hao rarely has such a solemn time, in Ah Yue's opinion, no matter what happens, Brother Hao is very calm and casual.

"I got a boundary-breaking shuttle from the Cao family in the Plains City. What is a Boundary-Breaker? Oh, Boundary-Breaker is...... It's just a small boat, but it can shuttle directly from the White Horse Cave to the Heavenly Dao Alliance, understand? I called you here to tell you, make some preparations, we will be back to the Heavenly Dao Alliance soon. Chen Hao got straight to the point with the two.

"That's great!" Ah Yue jumped for joy.

For so many years, he has been reluctant to start practicing qi, but he has always held the dream of being able to go to the "Heavenly Realm". Originally, seeing that Chen Hao was planning to accumulate strength for this matter, and it looked very difficult, Ah Yue didn't have much hope. But now that the dream has come true, how can you not be happy?

"Teacher Chen, this boundary-breaking shuttle, you said it's a small boat?" Shi San asked suspiciously, "Then how many people can it take away, can it come back?"

"If you squeeze it, forty or fifty people should be able to squeeze it out. If you want to come back, I'm afraid it won't be easy. Chen Hao recalled that the joint action team used more than 400 people to reach Baiju Cave with ten boundary-breaking shuttles, and estimated: "Uncle Shi, you don't have to worry, even if you can't squeeze out forty or fifty people, how can there be a place for your uncle and nephew!"

Shi San groaned, and after a while, he hesitated and said to Chen Hao: "Teacher Chen, I'm used to staying in the Watch Valley. If I go to the Heavenly Realm, I can come back, but I want to see where Ah Yue will live in the future. But if I go, I can't come back, so I guess I'd better stay here. I'm in that position, and you're good for everyone else who wants to go. ”

"Uncle Shi, the Heavenly Dao Alliance is much better than here. Don't worry, you don't have to do anything in the past, and I promise you won't be worse off than you are now. Chen Hao assured Shi San.

Shi San is probably because he is now in the salt field, and his life is good, so he is a little reluctant, right? But if he followed Chen Hao to the Heavenly Dao Alliance, with the tens of millions of spirit stones on Chen Hao's body now, he would be much stronger than this side casually.

"Teacher Chen, I'm not because of this. Shi San shook his head and said, "Actually, even without you, I am still living a poor life in the Watch City, and I am still reluctant to leave here." It's my hometown, I've grown up here, and while it's possible to be better out there, I still love Watch Valley. ”

"This ......" Chen Hao couldn't find the words to refute.

Even if it is poor and backward, it carries its own childhood and youth, which is not only the nostalgia for the familiar scenery, but also because it is reluctant to leave the memories it leaves.

Especially the older people get, the more they will feel that they will not be able to leave their homeland. Therefore, most of the people who are willing to go out are young people. This is not only because he is young and more energetic to run around, but also because the attachment in his heart is not so deep.

"Third uncle, you can come with us!" Ah Yue was anxious, and pulled Shi San's arm and shook it.

Shi San looked at Ah Yue lovingly and said, "Ah Yue, you have grown up, you follow Teacher Chen, I am also relieved." The third uncle is now older, and he is not so curious about the outside, so he will not waste precious ...... It was the position above the shuttle. ”

"Boundary-Breaker. Chen Hao reminded.

"Third uncle, if you don't go, then I'll stay with you. Ah Yue let go of his hand and said sullenly.

"Silly boy, don't say stupid things. You are different from the third uncle, the third uncle has been like this in this life, but you have never practiced qi, just to go to the heavenly realm!" Shi San said with a smile.
