Escape: I rely on the food exchange system to survive to the extreme

Chapter 144 Salt Mine (Part )

Luoling, Jiangbei, Shiyan City.

"Chang'an is still alive?"

A man in gray clothes was talking about Zuixing's letter to a young man in armor.

The young man's armor was still stained with blood that had not yet dried up. He took off his helmet, and a flash of joy flashed in his bright eyes, followed by a hint of doubt: "This is different from what the Wei family said. ”

"It's more than different." The man in gray raised his hand and said, "Back to your lord, as the Wei family said, after Chang'an was arrested by the Imperial City Department for being exposed, Xue Yan was confessed. Originally, they were discussing with the Wei family about re-transporting grain. .

Xue Yan was afraid that he would be involved more and finally bit his tongue and committed suicide in prison. Only then did Zhu Changyi and the Wei family take advantage of the Imperial City Division's attention being focused on Xue Yan's death and transport the food for disposal before the Imperial City Division reacted.

But what Changan said when he came back was a completely different version. "

"Mr. Yuan, what are the differences?"

King Yongning took a deep breath, picked up the tea cup and drank it all in one gulp.

"Chang'an said that Zhu Changyi's plan was to send people out to attract the attention of the Imperial City Bureau, and then Xue Yan and others would transport the new grain away.

It is not impossible to say that Chang'an was arrested because of this plan and confessed to Xue Yan, but it seems that there is indeed a discrepancy between Chang'an's records and the news from the Wei family and Zhu Changyi.

Moreover, Changan received the news from the carrier pigeon in Changping. Changan also knew about Changan and later sent the news. Changping meant that he did not think Changan had lied, but it was said that Changan brought the news to Changan. A strange woman came back. "

"Ok?"

···
After learning that Mei Qian had found the person, Wang He marveled at Mei Qian's speed, but when he asked again, Wang He said: "But in this case, no one will protect you when you go out?"

Listening to Mei Qian say that the woman she recruited back helped her clean up the groceries, Wang He felt that Mei Qian might have misunderstood his intentions.

“But it’s not convenient for me to find a man.

In the future, it would be possible to find a female escort if possible, but now the conditions do not allow it.

Not to mention wages, those who can fight are in good health and eat more.

With my current conditions, it’s already pretty good to be able to support myself and water chestnuts. "

Mei Qian chattered a lot, but the main idea was - no money.

Wang He heard it, he laughed like a fool, and took the big pot meal plan that Mei Qian mentioned. After reading it, he was full of energy.

So three days later, when Chang'an came back from the mountain, he saw that a row of thatched huts had been erected in the area where the people were originally accommodated, and there were actually a row of earthen stoves underneath.

He even saw one of Changping's subordinates picking vegetables and joking there.

What happened in these three days?
"How is this going?"

In the evening, Chang'an and Changping talked about things outside the mountain. When it was time for dinner, they stayed there to eat the food sent by the people below.

After eating, Changan then remembered what he saw when he came back during the day.

"Master Wang organized everyone to eat a big pot of rice, and sent people to collect wild vegetables and hunt in the mountains every day. Then there were special people to prepare meals for everyone to ensure that no one would go hungry."

Chang Pian ate the food expressionlessly and continued: "It's just that they don't have a pot, and we just happen to have one.

Mr. Wang then suggested that we go together, but he also knew that we had food, so in order not to take advantage of us, we cooked our own meals separately. They borrowed the pot and provided us with vegetables every day. "

It has to be said that in the so-called "canteen" built by Wang He, the food cooked by the kitchen master is much better than the food cooked by his own people.

Even Changan tasted it himself and found that the taste was very good.

“How long can our salt last?”

Chang'an knows that the taste of a bowl of food is naturally inseparable from the deliciousness of the food itself.

Naturally, salt is indispensable for anything that tastes like what he eats. "Even if we have prepared a lot of salt here, if so many people eat it, it will actually be consumed very quickly."

If you finish eating this salt, won’t you plan to live it up later?

Don't tell him that the king can have salt with them.

Chang Ping heard this, without putting down the chopsticks in his mouth. He looked up at Chang An and smiled, as if he was laughing that he didn't realize this problem until now.

Chang'an put down his chopsticks and said calmly: "What a coincidence, Lord Wang and his people accidentally discovered the salt mine."

"How could it be?!" Chang An was shocked at this moment. He stared into Chang Ping's eyes and asked uncertainly, "Are you sure?"

"Yeah, sure." Chang Ping nodded and looked at Chang An again. Youyou sighed and said, "Speaking of which - I don't know if the person you brought here has the ability to play tricks, but now it seems that she A really great skill.”

Two days ago,
"This earthen stove cannot be left in the open air. The weather is getting hotter. It is also located on a riverside, so the rainy season is a big deal."

When Mei Qian saw that they had found a place to set up an earth stove, she mentioned that it would be best to build a wooden shed.

By the way, let's practice with this. After a while, the straw huts that the people live in like small tents will have to be dismantled, and better ones that are windproof and rainproof will be built.

Otherwise, just like this earth stove, there will be no shelter from the wind and rain. What should I do if I get caught in the rain and get sick?
Today, Mei Qian and Wang He climbed another mountain.

This mountain looks bare compared to the other mountains. There are no lush trees, shrubs, or weeds, and it looks like it is malnourished. Summer is about to start in a blink of an eye, and this mountain looks like it has just recovered from winter. .

When Mei Qian and Wang He were standing on top talking and looking at the surrounding environment, she didn't delve too deeply into this aspect. Her focus was entirely on building the house.

Wang He remembered that Mei Qian had not written any long-term or short-term plans to him, and it seemed from what she said that she would stay here for a long time.

Mei Qian heard Wang He's question and asked, "So, how short do you think a short-term plan should be?
The situation outside is unclear now, but fortunately the mountains are rich in products. Even if we don't plan to stay here for a long time, we at least have to prepare our belongings and leave, right? "

"Possessions?"

"Yes, I was hurried into the mountains by the Xirong soldiers and had nothing. Fortunately, the wild vegetables and fruits in the mountains can still fill my stomach.

But sir, if we want to break out and leave here, where should we go next?
There was also nothing, and when I thought of the next place to hide, it might not be as good as Wuya Mountain. "

When Mei Qian ran with her grandmother and the others, she had enough food at the beginning, but she still entered the mountains first. While avoiding the pursuit of wild hunters, she dug wild vegetables and mushrooms in the mountains for many days.

But now that there are so many people with no hair, are they going to eat people when they get hungry after running all the way back?
Should we eat our own people or the people of Xirong?
As she spoke, Mei Qian accidentally saw an ocelot appear in her sight. Although ocelots are not big, they are also carnivores in the wild.

Mei Qian couldn't help but glance nervously twice, fearing that the other party would react inappropriately.

However, the ocelot did not approach them as Mei Qian wanted. Instead, it turned around and squatted on a stone, licking it.

When it comes to animals licking stones, Mei Qian is not so stupid as to say: "Look! The leopard cat is so hungry that it is licking stones!"

In nature, animals sometimes need to take in minerals such as salt, which can be obtained through food or some minerals.

Licking stones...

Mei Qian's eyes flashed slightly. After the ocelot left, Mei Qian asked Wang He and his accompanying guards to walk towards the big rock where the ocelot once stopped to lick.

At first, Wang He didn't know what Mei Qian was doing until Mei Qian took a stick and knocked around a stone.

Suddenly, Mei Qian broke a corner of the red, white and brown stone, revealing the light yellow crystal facets inside.

"This is……"

When Wang He saw Mei Qian suddenly squatting there, he picked up a small piece of dregs and tasted it, his eyes immediately lit up!
"Sir, it's salt!"

"Salt?!"

We decided last week that we would take a one-day trip to Hangzhou as a special forces soldier today.

Unexpectedly, I saw last week that there was no rain today, but today I saw it was raining... It is impossible to refund the ticket, so I had to brave the rain and rush.
