Chapter 4 The Disappointed Journey to Jiuzhou Town

Why does it feel so awkward to buy grain with someone else’s dowry?

"I'll go with you!"

After breakfast and packing up the dishes, Li Yuyan carried a small bamboo basket on his arm and followed Lin Xiao out the door, looking like a newly married wife.

As soon as the two of them left, they met a group of village women chatting about gossip.

When they saw the two of them, they immediately started to discuss in private.

"Black Widow is the Black Widow. Look, Kobayashi's face is getting paler."

"That's right? I didn't even have the strength to stand just now. Kobayashi would be in danger!"

"It's a waste of time for a scholar. If he sees it in heaven, he must die with his eyes open!"

"Kobayashi... is a sin!"

...

All the harsh discussions were heard in Li Yuyan and Lin Xiao's ears.

Li Yuyan had long been tired of hearing these words. He snorted coldly, ignored them, and took it all in front of him.

However, Lin Xiao, looking at Li Yuyan's arrogant look, thinking that her "little wife" was pretending to be strong, she felt unbearable, so she comforted her softly:

"Don't listen to them gossip. You are not a black widow, you are my new wife."

When Li Yuyan heard Lin Xiao's words, he was slightly stunned, and his favor for Lin Xiao deepened.

This nerd who has read books seems quite sensible.

"Lin Xiao, I didn't realize it. You sissy and pretty timid. You dare to choose a black widow, and you are not afraid of being killed by her!"

Wang Le, who came out of nowhere, had a bamboo stick in his mouth and walked up to Lin Xiao in a daze and said provokingly.

"ignorance!"

Lin Xiao snorted coldly: "Do you know what a blessed daughter does not enter a blessed family?"

Wang Le: “…”

"Forget it, it doesn't make sense to illiterate like you!"

"What kind of blessed daughter, a blessed family, I see you, you have no life!"

"I won't bother you to worry about my business. You'd better take care of your acre of land first, and then tell me! Get out of here!"

Lin Xiao used his strength to knock Wang Le away, and took Li Yuyan's hand to walk out of the village.

"Lin Xiao, you damn sissy, you have messed with me. Be careful when you go out in the future!"

Lin Xiao didn't bother to pay attention to him and took Li Yuyan away without looking back.

Looking at the back that was getting farther and farther away, Wang Le's fire suddenly rose to his head.

He was so angry that he simply imitated the tongue-in-law and spread rumors in the village that Li Yuyan was a black widow, which would bring bad luck to the village.

The country people are ignorant and listen to the wind and rain, and many villagers believe it.

"This black widow won't really bring bad luck to our village, right?"

"If you want to win, you will be the first kid Klin Xiao. As long as he doesn't die, we will be safe."

"No matter what, stay away from his home in the future, so as not to cause bad luck!"

...

It is about 30 or 40 miles from Linjia Village to Jiuzhou Town, and during this period, you have to climb a mountain and wad a river.

Therefore, the villagers would never go to the town unless they had no choice.

Jiuzhou Town is not as popular as imagined, nor is it as imagined.

There were only a few small vendors selling vegetables and necessities greeting pedestrians on both sides of the road.

Calligraphy and painting shops, poetry clubs and other things do not exist at all!

Lin Xiao, who was still thinking about using poetry to sell money, looked disappointed.

She finally knew why the poems and songs of the Daxia Dynasty were no longer compatible.

Because they don’t pay attention to the development of cultural knowledge at all!

Li Yuyan looked around vigilantly, fearing that he would be recognized by the secret guards hiding in a hidden place.

Lin Xiao thought it was his first time to come to the town and felt nervous, so he comforted softly: "Don't be afraid, just follow me."

Jiuzhou Town is a little bigger than Linjia Village, and the two of them quickly reached the end.

The boring Lin Xiao had to go home.

But Li Yuyan returned home with a full load.

His basket contained some grain and brown rice.

Lin Xiao originally planned to convince Li Yuyan to buy some salt first for emergency response, but he did not expect that the salt particles in the Great Xia Dynasty were very rough and there were a lot of impurities.

She once again strengthened her idea of ​​making salt herself.

After all, salt is something that can be eaten into the stomach, and there are too many impurities, so I may have to explain it here.

On the way back, Lin Xiao was hungry, tired and bored. He thought he could use knowledge to support himself, but reality slapped her loudly.

She ignored the rigorousness of the poor people towards themselves. The elegance of calligraphy and painting is not as good as brown rice, and meat is real!

Just when she was depressed, her foot slipped and she almost rolled down the mountain. Fortunately, Li Yuyan was quick-eyed and his hands almost grabbed her.

"The mountain road is slippery, be careful!"

Lin Xiao grabbed Li Yuyan's strong arm tightly and looked at the place where he had almost slid down just now, and suddenly felt a chill on his back.

Below is the abyss of a hundred meters!

"Thank you, thank you!"

Lin Xiao came to his senses and found that there was no grass growing at the bottom of the abyss.

There are only two reasons why such a spectacle can occur.

One is that there is a thick layer of white gray in the soil at the bottom of this abyss.

Another one is that there is a lot of rock salt here.

If it were the latter, it would be perfect!

Lin Xiao was overjoyed and grabbed Li Yuyan's hand unconsciously aggravated a little:

"Yu Yan, do you know how to go?"

"There is a small path over there to go down, but there is nothing below. What are you going to do?"

"You will know when you go!"

After saying this, Lin Xiao hurriedly rushed from the path that Li Yuyan pointed to towards the bottom of the abyss.

Although Li Yuyan was reluctant, he was afraid that she would be in danger, so he followed obediently.

The abyss seemed very high, but in fact it was not too high. It took only half an hour for the two of them to reach the bottom.

There are more than a dozen translucent stones shining with tiny lights scattered on the sandy land.

Could it be a block of rock salt?

Lin Xiao picked up a piece and smashed it hard on the ground, and it split into pieces in an instant. The hardness was low enough, which was in line with the characteristics of rock salt.

Then, she picked up a small broken stone, blew the dust on it, and licked a small mouth on her tongue.

salty!

Very salty!

It's a block of rock salt, yes!

I was really sleepy and someone gave me a pillow, it was just right!

Lin Xiao was overjoyed: "Hurry, move these stones home!"

However, these stones were like poisonous snakes in Li Yuyan's eyes. He looked at Lin Xiao like an idiot:

"These are salt stones. Salt stones are poisonous and you will die if you eat them!"

"Maybe it poisons to you, but to me, they are good helpers to get rich. Get started quickly and move as much as you can."

Li Yuyan became increasingly unable to understand what Lin Xiao was going to do, but he still copied it.

He had decided that if Lin Xiao was poisoned by these salt stones, he would definitely find a good tomb for him because of the relationship between the couple!

After a lot of effort, the two of them finally moved nearly fifty kilograms of rock salt back home.

It was already evening now.

The two were already hungry.

Li Yuyan was planning to make dinner when a young wife in her twenties walked into the yard with a basket.

"Sister Xiangmei, why are you here?"

Next, in some Southeast Asian countries, once the Zhongyuan Festival is a stage to sing a big show, and the first few rows cannot be seated because the first few rows are specially for the ancestors. Have you guessed it right?
