Cultivation starts from drawing superhuman physique

Chapter 7 Salt Fields
In the early morning, Su Poman slowly woke up. There were some tiny dewdrops faintly on the hemp shirt. After cleaning it up a bit, he was about to fetch some water to rinse his mouth when someone knocked on the wooden door.

Su Poman opened the door and saw that it was the black-faced man who asked him to come here yesterday.

"#￥%@&%!"

The black-faced man waved his arms and gestured for a while while talking.

Although Su Poman couldn't understand, but judging from his hand gestures, he probably told him to follow somewhere.

Thinking of his own language barrier, Su Poman felt that it would be good to have more contact with the locals.

The black-faced man first led him to a fenced yard. In the yard, a gentle-looking woman was cooking, and a five or six-year-old boy was playing at the small dining table. Su Poman took a closer look. , is one of the group of children rushing to the sea that I met on the beach yesterday.

As soon as he saw Su Poman, the little boy said a lot of things to the black-faced man. The black-faced man was also a little puzzled, so he hurriedly asked a few words. After the two communicated for a while, he turned around and pointed at Su Poman. , and then pointed to his mouth.

Su Poman hurriedly said: "I don't understand what you are saying, but I am not dumb!"

Hearing Su Poman's words, the black-faced man came to his senses, and his face showed a look of understanding, as if he understood that the young man in front of him was not a deaf-mute as rumored in the village, but could not speak the local official language.

At this moment, the gentle woman brought out the pot and bowl, which contained four bowls of mushy soup and a plate of dried fish.

The black-faced man pulled Su Poman to sit down, then made a gesture of grilling rice, and slowly uttered a word.

Su Poman realized immediately that the black-faced man was teaching himself how to speak, and he repeated it. After repeating it several times, the black-faced man stuffed Su Poman with a doughnut, signaling to start eating.

The gentle woman took small sips of the soup with a small spoon, her movements looked more refined, but the black-faced man was more wild, he tore the bread into several pieces and soaked it in the soup, and ate it up , the little boy followed suit and started eating like his father.

Su Poman took a sip of the soup, and felt that it was sticky and grainy, and also had a salty taste, very similar to the preserved egg and lean meat porridge he drank in Blue Star.

Although he has a high-level light energy physique and does not need to eat, but his appetite is hard to let go. Su Poman feels that if he does not eat for a long time, his mouth may fade out.

Although the food in front of me is simple, but because I haven't tasted it for a long time, it suddenly has a salty aroma, and it feels very delicious in my mouth. I immediately imitated the black-faced man and tore the noodles into pieces and soaked them in the soup. He swallowed it with his chopsticks in his mouth.

The little boy next to him looked at Su Poman in amazement. He was a little confused. He was tired of eating rice shrimp soup and noodle cakes, but Su Poman could eat them so deliciously. Seeing him whetted his appetite. I ate half of the pancake.

Not long after, the black-faced man finished drinking the rice and shrimp soup in the bowl, and then Su Poman also ended the fight, and hiccupped when he put down the bowl and chopsticks.

The black-faced man smiled slightly, got up and dragged Su Poman out.

The two quickly left the village, walked along a main road for a long time, and came to a stockade. There was a big signboard hanging above the stockade, with three large characters written on it.

It's just that Su Poman didn't understand the meaning of these three words, and the black-faced man on the side seemed a lot more cautious when he arrived here. There were two strong men in red with knives and armor guarding the gate of the village.

The black-faced man took out a wooden sign from his pocket, handed it respectfully to the strong man guarding the gate, and at the same time pointed at Su Poman and murmured a long paragraph.

Among them, the burly man in red with the wooden sign frowned slightly, then seemed to think of something, after throwing the wooden sign to the black-faced man, he waved his hand like chasing flies, motioning for the two to go in.

The black-faced man put away the wooden sign and was about to pull Su Poman into the village with a poignant smile. At this moment, the ground shook, followed by the sound of horseshoes.

Hearing the sound, the black-faced man hurriedly dragged Su Poman to the side of the road, and lowered his head with a nervous expression, and at the same time signaled for Su Poman to also quickly lower his head.

The two red-clothed strong men at the gate of the village also straightened up, staring straight ahead, without the same lazy attitude as before.

Not long after, the ground shook more and more, and five black-scaled horses with a height of three meters galloped forward, galloping all the way.

With the blessing of super vision, Su Poman could see clearly, even fleas in horse hair could be easily spotted.

This kind of horse is very different from the horses that Su Poman has seen in Blue Star. Not only are they taller, black scales grow from the head to the neck, the limbs are extremely thick, and the hooves alone are as thick as a bowl. The hair is as soft and shiny as the finest satin, and it is not ordinary horse at first glance.

If Bole is here, he will be surprised to find that the five horses in front of him are all BMWs capable of traveling thousands of miles a day.

Molin immediately rode over five men in blue robes. The leader was a short, middle-aged man. He was not tall, but behind him was a large sword with a ring head that was a little taller than him. It looks majestic.

There are three men and a woman behind the middle-aged man, and the woman is quite eye-catching, with long black hair and a sapphire hair crown, covered by a white gauze, with two butterfly thorns hanging from her waist, and the hem of the blue robe is slit, vaguely A pair of slender and round jade legs were exposed in the middle, which looked even more white and attractive against the brown riding boots.

As for the three men, one is fat and the other is thin, with ordinary appearance, their eyes glanced at the thighs of the white gauze woman from time to time, and there was a hint of desire in the depths of their eyes.

These five people had no intention of staying at the gate of the village at all, and rushed into the village with a burst of sand and dust, leaving the place full of dust and dust.

After the smoke and dust cleared, the black-faced man cautiously looked inside, then smiled at the strong man in red at the door, and led Su Poman into the village.

This village gate was built between two low mountains, with high wooden walls on both sides, spreading all the way to the mountainside, and there were a few men in red patrolling in the dense forest further up.

On both sides of the gate of the village, there are four to five archery towers with a height of [-] meters. There are men in red clothes with bows and arrows watching them. Here, you can faintly hear the shouts from a distance, as if there are troops practicing.

The black-faced man did not go in the direction of the shouting, but led Su Poman to another small road. After walking for a long time, a piece of building appeared in Su Poman's eyes.

"That's..." Su Poman was lost in thought as he looked at the building, combined with the books he had read before, it didn't take long to recognize what this place was for.

There are earth pits with white crystals, turbid liquid inside, and round wooden towers beside them. In addition, there are several huge salt ponds in the distance. Several square holes have been dug out under the salt ponds. A circle of salt workers added fuel to the fire in the cave, mist rose from the salt pond, and the surrounding area was shrouded in a vast expanse of whiteness.

"This should be the salt pit!"

Salt pits are formed by stagnant tidal seawater in some relatively closed landforms in coastal areas. The seawater in the pits evaporates and the concentration gradually increases. The brine from such salt pits can be directly used to fry table salt using the ancient method.

If nothing else, this village is a place where a certain salt gang makes sea salt.

And the purpose of the black-faced man bringing him here should be to find him a job in this saltworks that can support him.

The job of the black-faced man is to pick the brine here, and pick the brine from the salt pit to the salt pond, where there are special people to burn the fire to fry the salt with sea brine.

After greeting the steward here, the black-faced man took Su Poman and began to pick up brine, one bucket after another. At the same time, he did not forget to teach Su Poman how to speak between work.

As for Su Poman, he followed the black-faced man to pick up brine with a pole. Every time the black-faced man spoke to him at a very slow speed, he would take it seriously and think about it in combination with his gestures and the current environment. The meaning of that sentence.

The brine is carried in wooden barrels, although it is not too heavy to lift, but after a day, many water bearers will be too tired to straighten their backs.

The black-faced man is considered an old man here. Although he has spare energy, he will not walk too fast, and carry water with an efficiency that can maximize his physical strength.

It was very easy for Su Poman to do this job, and there was no pressure at all carrying a load of nearly [-] kilograms. At this time, the weather was already a bit hot, and there were not many clouds in the sky, so the water bearers were all covered in the sun. Sweating profusely, he had to stop to drink water and rest every once in a while, but Su Poman didn't sweat at all, and even enjoyed working under the sun very much.

The black-faced man squatted in the shade and took a sip from the water bag, looking at Su Poman who was standing not far away under the sun with weird eyes.

"Why aren't you sweating on such a hot day?" the black-faced man asked in confusion.

Su Poman didn't understand the black-faced man's question. After seeing him pointing to the sweat on his head, and then coming over to touch his extremely dry hair, he suddenly realized that what he said just now meant Ask him why he is not sweating.

Su Poman was speechless, so he could only spread his hands to express that he couldn't explain clearly.

The black-faced man had no choice but to pass the water bag in his hand to Su Poman, made a gesture of drinking water, and then said a word.

Su Poman immediately understood what he meant, read along, and then took a sip from the water bag.

"Yao Heizi, what's the matter with this little brother you brought? Can't talk?" A skinny man in bunts came over and asked curiously.

Yao Dashan nodded and said: "He came to my village a few days ago, he should be a survivor who was washed up by the big waves at sea, he may come from other places, anyway, he doesn't know our Mandarin!"

"Then he is really lucky. He can survive in the sea by chance. I heard from the old man that there are demon spirits in the depths of the sea. Even the masters of the Haihe gang dare not provoke them..." The skinny man continued road.

Hearing this, Yao Dashan frowned, and quickly interrupted: "Let's not talk about Niu Tiegu, it's time to go to work, if you take a rest, I think the manager will come and beat someone later!"

Seeing the dark-faced man leaving, Su Poman also grabbed his shoulder pole to follow.

At noon, the salt farm was in charge of the food, although it was not delicious, but it was good enough. Yao Dashan and others ate several bowls of dry rice in a row. Skipping meals to draw attention to others.

When it was almost evening, Yao Dashan took Su Poman to receive today's wages from the steward. It was a crescent-shaped bronze coin, which was refined and cast from a kind of copper ore.

Back in the village, Yao Dashan slumped on the seat with a little exhaustion. Seeing this, Su Poman said vaguely in the local language he had just learned: "Tomorrow... I will go to work."

When Yao Dashan heard it, his face showed joy, and he said in surprise: "Your boy is really talented. You can understand the meaning in just one day. It seems that there should be no problem in speaking after a while!"

Su Poman heard this series of words, tried hard to search the memory in his brain, but found that he couldn't understand such a long sentence at present, so he could only give up, shook his head in confusion, and folded his hands to say goodbye.

Just as he turned around, the black-faced man stood up from the chair and grabbed his shoulders, speaking in a very slow voice, "Stay here and have dinner!"

After saying this, Yao Dashan made a gesture of eating.

Su Poman understood what he meant in an instant, and didn't shirk it, and readily agreed, but in his heart he planned to leave the five crescent coins he had just received to his family as food money for the next few days.

Su Poman was extremely grateful to the black-faced man for helping him all the time.

Not long after, Yao Dashan's wife prepared dinner, and the little boy was also sitting at the dinner table preparing to eat.

Dinner is very simple, a few green vegetable dumplings, a stack of dried fish, and light rice porridge. The family chatted at the dinner table, and the time passed quickly.

After the meal, Su Poman took advantage of Yao Dashan to go into the back room to get something, secretly gave the five crescent copper coins to Yao Dashan's wife, and then ran back to his yard.

Just sitting on the chair, Su Poman was about to close his eyes and recall the gains of the day, when there was a knock on the door.

Su Po smiled wryly, without even opening the door, he knew that the black-faced man must be chasing him and wanted to return the crescent coin.

Opening the door, it turned out to be the black-faced man, with an anxious look on his face, holding the five coins that he gave to his wife earlier.

Yao Dashan stuffed the crescent coin into Su Poman's hand with a serious face, and then left directly after saying a lot of words that he could not understand.

Su Poman was a little helpless, "The villagers here are too simple...then let's repay their family when we have a chance in the future!"
