Chapter 181: I'm addicted to it
Yun Liu didn't seem to care about this question and simply replied, "The hides are kept for use, and the meat is naturally made into pickled meat and sold elsewhere. I usually get strange looks from everyone when I take some to eat."
Of course, the entire Bingdong tribe is a vegetarian, but you just steal meat to eat. It’s hard not to look at you differently.
Just when Ding Xiaodie wanted to take the opportunity to criticize him, Yun Liu said, "I just like eating meat, what's wrong with that?"
That’s right, what did he do wrong?
Forget it, it’s more important to see Xianjing, so let’s not argue with him for now.
Yun Liu, who was walking in front, went straight to the patriarch's throne. The chair used to be covered with animal skins, with aromatherapy cage lamps on both sides, which looked quite grand. Now the animal skins were gone, the lamps were removed, and the main frame was just an ordinary wooden chair.
Yun Liu reached out and pressed the back of the wooden chair, and the chair slowly moved to the side. Then, the stone wall behind the chair pushed open like a door.
It turns out that there is a secret door mechanism installed here.
I've seen many mechanical devices in TV dramas before, but this was the first time I'd seen one in real life. Ding Xiaodie was amazed and said, "Master Lu said that you Bingdong people have been extremely intelligent since your ancestors, comparable to Kong Ming and Feng Chu. I didn't expect it to be so powerful."
She originally thought that the mechanism was indeed magical, and she could also flatter it a little.
Otherwise, with this secret door, the people of the Bangdong tribe would not appear so smart.
Yun Liu glanced at her lazily and said, "Foster father, that's just politeness. If I told you that I'm the smartest among the Bingdong people, would you believe me?"
Ding Xiaodie: “…”
This is a serious case of narcissism.
Yun Liu chuckled, "Of course you don't believe me, because I'm not from the Bingdong tribe myself. I was picked up by them when I was four years old. I'm not of Bingdong blood, so I don't want to show my intelligence in front of them."
Ding Xiaodie smiled sheepishly: "Yes, yes, let's go to the salty well quickly!"
You are so smart.
Being smart yet still being abandoned?
After walking a few steps forward, the light suddenly dimmed. Yun Liu lit a match, and the scene in the narrow dark room was exposed before his eyes.
Everything was somewhat disappointing.
Surprisingly, without any more powerful mechanism, two wells, one large and one small, were seen. There was a circle of rocks around the wells. The water in the wells was extremely clear, and there was nothing unusual to see. However, there were white crystals on the rocks beside the wells.
"Is this the well that can produce salt?" Ding Xiaodie walked closer and observed carefully: "Is the water in the well always there?"
To be honest, apart from the fact that there are no surprising mechanisms in the secret room, these two wells are simply priceless treasures.
Even in such a severe drought, its well is still full of water.
Yun Liu was already used to it. "It's true that there's water all year round. I've never seen it dry up since I was a child, but..."
"But what?"
"I thought the old patriarch regarded this well as the life of the people of the Handle Cave Tribe, but I didn't expect them to leave without caring about these two wells. It's really strange. Are they so determined?"
“…”
Ding Xiaodie saw a small wooden spoon next to her, so she decided to scoop some water to taste it, so as to break the awkward atmosphere.
Who would have thought that it was so salty when I tasted it.
Instead, she clapped her hands happily: "Well, now the meat can be preserved longer."
Yun Liu looked completely stunned, just standing there looking at the well water without saying anything.
Ding Xiaodie knew that he was still struggling with why the Bingdong people abandoned him. After all, in Yun Liu's heart, he always felt that he had only made some minor mistakes.
But he had no idea that his carelessness was considered treason in the eyes of those old-fashioned people in Bingdong.
The fact that he likes to eat meat goes against the philosophy of the Bingdong people. To be honest, they didn't kill him but abandoned him, which was already very humane!
"Hey, let me ask you, how do you feel now that you're Mr. Lu's adopted son?"
Still feeling a little reluctant, Ding Xiaodie went up to him and asked.
Yun Liu was much taller than her, so she could only look up at his chin.
"Not bad, my adoptive father and his family are all good to me." He lowered his eyes and looked at her.
"That's it, why bother dwelling on the past?"
"But the Bingdong people have been kind to me. They raised me for so many years, and I have to repay them. Now they've left. Where can I go to repay them in the future?"
"It's okay, there's always a chance."
Ding Xiaodie didn't want to continue talking to him, and suddenly smiled widely: "As a human being, the most important thing is to be happy."
Uh, I didn’t expect that the dialogue from the melodramatic TV series would come out of my mouth.
However, Yun Liu seemed to be infected by her smile and finally curled the corners of his lips.
Ding Xiaodie said, "Let's quickly tell Mr. Lu and the village chief about the existence of this well!"
Yunliu nodded.
…
Mr. Lu was naturally very happy when he heard the news. The two salty wells made him happier than making a big business.
He immediately took a look and taught everyone how to boil salt and cool it.
This Master Lu is omnipotent and knows a lot of things. Even if he has never practiced them, he has read about them in books. He can make some simple tools based on his memory. By the time it gets dark, the salt has been brought out of the patriarch's house in large quantities!
There is so much salt, so white that it glows faintly in the moonlight.
All the men, women, young and old in the village were stunned. They had never seen anything like this in their entire lives. Their surprised and doubtful eyes seemed to see not salt but grains of gold.
"My goodness, if it weren't for this wildfire, we wouldn't have found this."
"Hey, you're wrong. We should thank Master Yunliu. If it weren't for him, where would we find so much salt?"
Just thinking about it makes me drool. After so many days of fleeing famine, the little salt that everyone had hidden away had long been eaten up. In these days without salt, the women were haggard and the men were listless. Coupled with hunger, they all looked depressed.
Yes, yes, the person who should be thanked most for this matter is Young Master Yunliu.
Of course, we need some practical action!
Then, the villagers of Aozigou knelt down before Yunliu again and said, "Thank you, Master Yunliu, for the salt."
Haha, you didn't kneel when the two young masters of the Lu family delivered steamed buns and meat to Yangliu Town before. But this time, the desert soldiers came directly to kill and burn the mountain, and you all became so cautious that you broke the law?
Ding Xiaodie raised her eyebrows lazily. Most people were busy, and those who were kneeling were just idle and had nothing to do.
Yun Liu, on the other hand, was enjoying himself immensely. He reclined on the stone in front of the clan leader's stone house, a few strands of his long hair ruffled by the breeze. His dark eyes, as clear as water, glanced indifferently at the villagers before he smiled and said, "Great, very great! I never thought that I, Yun Liu, would have a day when people would kowtow to me!"
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment: "..."
Ding Xiaodie: “…” See, he gets excited as soon as you praise him!
