Chapter 984 Chapter 984, Good Luck
"Mom, it's so salty!"
When Daozi saw Daohua grab a handful of white crystals from the edge of the lake and taste them, he followed suit, licked them, and then quickly made a "Pooh" sound.
Daohua was very happy: "It really is a salt lake!"
The salt needed by Xiliang has always been transported from other places. If this salt lake is developed, Xiliang can save a lot of expenses.
"Son, we are so lucky!"
The rice flowers hugged the rice and rubbed it head to head.
Daozi was not interested in the salt lake, but seeing his mother happy, he also grinned.
Afterwards, Rice Flower built a tent by the salt lake and told Rice about the uses of the salt lake while doing so.
Another night passed peacefully.
When she woke up the next day, Daohua was not sure whether to continue walking.
She and her son had been in the Gobi Desert for four days and had not yet walked out. She was not sure if she had gone in the wrong direction.
After pondering for a while, Daohua decided to stay at the salt lake for a day.
When they were bored, Daohua brought Daozi back with her to pick up a lot of firewood, then started a fire and demonstrated to Daozi the process of heating salt water and evaporating it into salt.
Near noon, the dog Xiaoyi suddenly started barking and rushed in one direction.
Daohua was startled, thinking that Gou Xiaoyi had discovered an animal approaching. She hurriedly hugged Daozi tightly, took out the crossbow arrows that Xiao Yeyang had prepared for her for self-defense, and looked at the direction Gou Xiaoyi was running in with a wary look.
Not long after, Daohua heard the sound of hurried horse hooves, and then saw a group of cavalry appear on the horizon. The person leading the group was Xiao Yeyang.
"Mom, it's Dad. Dad is here to save us."
Daozi shouted happily.
Daohua's expression relaxed, she put the crossbow back into the space and put her son down.
As soon as the rice landed, he quickly ran towards Xiao Yeyang, shouting as he ran: "Dad, Mom and I are here!"
While her son was running away, Daohua quickly put some things into the space, leaving only a small number of items.
When Xiao Yeyang saw that his wife and children were safe and sound, his heart finally settled down in his stomach. He whipped the horse's back and quickened his pace as he ran towards his wife and children.
“Ouch~”
Xiao Yeyang tightened the reins, jumped off the horse, picked up his son who was running towards him, and asked as he looked at him, "Are you and your mother okay these days?"
Daozi shook his head and said, "It's okay, mom and I are fine."
Seeing that his son was in high spirits despite his clothes being a little dirty and wrinkled, Xiao Yeyang felt relieved and strode towards Daohua with his son in his arms.
Daohua also walked over, and as soon as she got close, Xiao Yeyang hugged her.
Xiao Yeyang hugged his wife and children tightly and said in a muffled voice: "You scared me to death."
Daohua hugged him back and soothed him softly, "Aren't we okay?"
Xiao Yeyang looked at Daohua and said, "Don't do this again next time."
Daohua knew he was talking about her secretly running into Wuhuzhai to rescue her son, and couldn't help but explain: "Are you still worried about me doing things? I won't put myself and my son in danger."
Xiao Yeyang said dissatisfiedly: "Then why did you run into the Gobi Desert?"
Daohua touched her nose and said, "Isn't this an accident?"
Xiao Yeyang: "Isn't it just an accident? I don't know who said that accidents are everywhere and we shouldn't take risks casually."
Daohua knew she was in the wrong, so she quickly gave in and said, "Okay, I know I was wrong, and I won't do it again next time."
Xiao Yeyang snorted. She admitted her mistake quickly, but he believed that she would do it again if she encountered such a thing again.
Daozi tilted his head and looked at his parents. After realizing that his father was blaming his mother, he quickly pushed his father's chest and said, "Dad, a real man should be more tolerant. Don't bully my mother!"
Xiao Yeyang glanced at his son and asked, "Which eye of yours saw me bullying your mother?"
Daozi: "I saw it with both eyes. Grandpa Chu said that a wife is meant to be spoiled. Don't be too fierce. Be careful not to scare your wife away, and then you will have no wife at all."
Xiao Yeyang felt a little depressed and couldn't find a way to refute his son's words.
Daohua smiled and saw the cavalry had arrived. She pulled Xiao Yeyang and pointed at the salt lake and said, "This is a natural salt lake. Xiao Yeyang, you're lucky."
Xiao Yeyang's attention was diverted: "Salt Lake?"
Daozi rushed to say, "Mom just taught me how to make salt. She said that with this salt lake, we don't have to worry about having no salt to eat."
Afterwards, Xiao Yeyang walked towards the salt lake, holding his son in one hand and holding Daohua in the other.
As Daohua walked, she asked, "How did you find us?"
Xiao Yeyang: "There's someone from the Five Tigers Village who's familiar with this Gobi Desert, and with the help of Gou Xiaoer and Gou Xiaowu, we were able to find this place. By the way, how have you been these past few days?"
Daohua remained calm and said, "When I escaped, I took a camel with me. There was a water bag and some supplies tied to the camel's back."
After hearing this, Xiao Yeyang didn't think there was anything wrong.
The sand bandits make a living by robbing passers-by, and the goods tied to the camels must not have been taken off in time.
Soon, the three of them arrived at the place where they set up their tent.
When he reached the salt lake, Xiao Yeyang put down the rice and grabbed a handful of lake salt by the lake to taste it.
Daohua smiled and said, "Such a large natural salt lake is definitely more than enough to supply the salt needs of the people of Xiliang."
"This time we can say it was a blessing in disguise. Not only did we discover this salt lake, but we also discovered a strange rock area two days ago.
Xiao Yeyang nodded. This discovery was indeed unexpected. "What strange stone area?"
Daozi immediately took out a piece of top-grade golden jade from his pocket: "Dad, this is it."
Daohua also took out a piece. Hers was even better, a piece of top-quality Hetian jade.
Xiao Yeyang exclaimed in amazement: "You two, mother and son, are really lucky."
Daohua: "I left some spices over there. You can ask Gou Xiaoyi to take the cavalry over there to take a look."
Xiao Yeyang: "Don't worry, after sending you and your son back to the palace, I will personally bring people over to take a look."
If Xiliang wants to develop, it needs a lot of money. There is not much support from the court, and he can't always put money into it.
Jade is precious. If we can find a large amount of jade, it can solve many of his problems.
Xiao Yeyang told everyone to rest on the spot and prepare to take the rice flowers and rice out of the Gobi Desert when the sun was not so strong.
At this time, everyone knew that the lake in front of them was a natural salt lake.
This time when they came to look for someone, Old Man Li and the boss came along. Looking at the natural salt lake in front of them, both of them looked depressed and heartbroken.
They had actually been in and out of this Gobi Desert many times, but had never encountered this salt lake.
The eldest leader sighed and said, "If we had discovered this salt lake, the people of Wuhuzhai wouldn't have to live on the edge of a knife, and there wouldn't have been this disaster."
Old Man Li also sighed: "It's fate!"
They shouldn't go to this salt lake.
