Chapter 180 The Secret of the Well
Yun Liu was very excited about his discovery of water for a while, and he boasted to everyone he met: "I discovered water."
The villagers replied: "Yes, thank the gods for their protection."
What does this have to do with the gods? I discovered it!
Yun Liu wanted to emphasize a few more words, but the villager had already walked away.
Someone must explain to Young Master Yunliu all the strange things that happened when the team suddenly encountered water along the way, but no one has time now.
The men cut open the bison that had fallen to its death, cut the meat into pieces, roasted what needed to be roasted, boiled what needed to be boiled, and dried the internal organs over a low fire for preservation.
However, the abundance of meat suddenly became a problem. Take the bison and wild boar for example. Even if everyone ate as much as they wanted, they would definitely not be able to finish them in one day. But in such hot weather, the meat had no choice but to be dried, otherwise it would stink the next day.
The adults were busy as hell, while the children were laughing and playing everywhere, and from time to time they would go to the barbecue place to ask the adults for some meat. Such a life was no exaggeration to say that they were like gods.
Ding Xiaodie held a piece of pork ribs that her father had roasted for her, and while chewing on it, she complained: It smells good and tastes good, but it's a pity that her appetite finally prevailed over her sympathy.
It is true that it is difficult for a person with flesh and blood to have Buddha nature.
"clove."
Suddenly noticing the little girl, Ding Xiaodie quickly called her over and handed her the beef ribs.
But Dingxiang also had a piece in her hand. She shook her head and said, "Cousin, you eat it. I have one too."
"By the way, did your parents beat you again?"
Not long after Ding De brought Ding Xiang back the night before, Master Lu ordered him to eat some porridge before setting off. He then kept on traveling and only stopped here.
During the two days of suspension, everyone was hiding in their own rooms, so she had no chance to see Dingxiang.
But now I pulled the little girl's hand over and took a look, and then held her shoulder to look at her little face, but I didn't see any bruises.
Ding Xiang gave her a warm smile and said, "Don't worry, sister. My parents said they will never beat me again."
Ding Xiaodie was surprised: "Oh?!" Has he changed his personality?
Dingxiang said, "My mother said that my sister has lost her teeth now, and she doesn't know if she'll be able to speak in the future. So they want to raise me well so that when I grow up and marry a good family, they can enjoy the good life with me. I guess they don't beat me because they're afraid of leaving scars on my body!"
Looking at the little girl's innocent smile, Ding Xiaodie was speechless: "..."
After a pause, he asked, "How is your sister now? Is she still unable to speak?"
Ding Xiang shook her head: "No, but she has started drinking urine secretly. Cousin, this cannot be told to anyone else. My sister said that if others knew, she would not live!"
Ding Xiaodie was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. She had never expected that Ding Mei would end up like this.
…
When Ding Xiaodie was sitting under the eaves with her grandmother, Lu Xingluo came once and Lu Chenhe came twice, both times to bring her meat. When they met, they would say, "I grilled it! Eat it quickly!"
It was as if he couldn't wait to make this skinny little girl grow up quickly.
What Ding Xiaodie didn't expect was that Yun Liu actually came three times.
But every time he would just chew a piece of meat, then look at her, walk away lightly, and then come back in front of her after a while, look at her again, and walk away...without saying a word.
Ding Xiaodie was so upset, is there something wrong with her?
At this moment, Yun Liu, who was walking forward, seemed to be able to sense that she was cursing him in her heart, and suddenly turned around: "You little girl, why don't you go play with those village kids?"
Ding Xiaodie was secretly startled, but pretended to be relaxed on the surface: "I have to accompany grandma, didn't you see?"
The old woman chewed the meat while holding the gray rabbit. She rubbed the oil on her hands on the rabbit's fur. She looked very comfortable and didn't care about the conversation of the little kids at all.
Yun Liu glanced at the old woman, walked up to Ding Xiaodie and said, "Your grandma won't run around, why are you accompanying her?"
Ding Xiaodie was a little annoyed: "I heard that the Bingdong people are all vegetarians. Why do you eat meat so happily and even have a bone stuck on your head?"
Yun Liu said, "Well, I've never denied that I'm an outlier."
"You are quite self-aware!"
Yun Liu looked nonchalant: "Do you know that I discovered the water in that well?"
o(╥﹏╥)o Is this ever going to end? Are you sick?
Just when Ding Xiaodie was about to give him a false compliment, Yun Liu suddenly said, "Actually, the clan leader once said that the water in this well will never run out. If it runs out and then the water comes back, it must be..."
What is it?
Ding Xiaodie became curious. She felt that the clan leader was crazy and what he said was not credible, but she still couldn't help but want to know.
But the more curious she looked, the more Yun Liu narrowed his eyes, smiled without saying anything, and changed the subject: "Actually, there is a well in our village. How about I take you to see it?"
cut!
Will she go with him?
It's obvious that this evildoer is not a good person.
Ding Xiaodie immediately said, "Thank you so much. Isn't it good to be able to enjoy the cool air here with grandma and have meat to eat? Why do I have to go with you to see a dry well?"
Yun Liu shook his index finger and said, "You guessed wrong. That's not a dry well, it's a well with water."
Ding Xiaodie stood up suddenly: "What?"
The area where the Bingdong people live is just this small basin. Not only her, but even the villagers have walked all over it.
But no one has ever discovered that there is a well there, and a well with water.
Suddenly realizing that this might be Yun Liu's joke, or perhaps he was trying to keep her in suspense, Ding Xiaodie blurted out, "You big liar, who else can you fool besides a little girl like me?"
"I'm not lying to you. There really is a well. It's right in the chief's house. But the water in that well is not drinkable. It's salty. I saw the villagers drawing water from it and boiling it to extract refined salt."
“…”
Good job!
A real good guy!
If that is a salty well and salt can really be extracted, it would be a treasure!
You must know that in ancient times, the people had not yet achieved salt freedom. People from all over the country had to buy official salt, and the price was high and the quantity was small.
This has led many people to not eat salt for a long time, resulting in a deficiency of an important mineral in the body, and then some hidden diseases that they are not aware of will occur.
After a moment of shock, Ding Xiaodie could no longer control her excitement. She put the ribs in her grandmother's hands and said, "Really? Take me to see it."
After saying that, he raised his little hands covered in oil. Well, there was no place to wipe it, so he would just rub it on the gray rabbit like grandma did!
Yun Liu was silent after seeing her action: "..."
The two of them went as soon as they said they would, walked through the crowd and went straight to the patriarch's house. When they pushed open the door and went in, they found that the house was completely empty.
The last time I came here, I saw some gorgeous animal skins hanging on the wall.
"That's right!" Ding Xiaodie finally came to her senses. "If the Bingdong people are vegetarians, then where does the animal meat go after you hunt?"
