Thinking of this, Old Man Hua couldn't sit still. Just as the floods receded, the land outside gradually became firmer, and the food in the valley had sprouted. The valley was not busy in the short term, so it was time for his son to take people out for a walk.

Immediately he stood up from the bamboo chair his son made specially for him, and shouted "Chengtian, Chengtian" toward his son's room opposite.

Hua Chengtian, who was taking a nap, suddenly stirred up. He wiped his face so sleepily that he couldn't open his eyes, but he reluctantly said yes outside.

"Dad, I heard you."

"Come on, I have something to tell you."

"Hey" Although he agreed with his mouth, his body still lay on the bed very honestly.

"Hurry up, maybe dad is in a hurry." Qi kicked the man next to her, almost knocking him out of bed, but it also made Hua Chengtian wake up completely.

Not even a nap allowed him to sleep well, so Hua Chengtian stared blankly at the roof.

The one who kicked someone was the wife, and the one who shouted outside was the father. They were both people who could not be offended. What could they do, so they could only get up while rubbing their painful calves.

"Come on, come on." There was obviously a hint of grievance in his tone.

"Dad, what's the matter? You're in such a hurry." Looking at the old man sitting in the main room, he stepped forward and poured a bowl of boiled mung bean water for him. After two bowls of it, he felt that all his anger was gone.

"Why, can't I call you when nothing happens?" Old Man Hua narrowed his eyes at his son.

"Yes, of course, dad, please drink some more water." Hua Chengtian quickly poured another bowl of mung bean water for his dad with a flattering look on his face.

It's noon, this is obviously a bit angry!

Only then did the old man Hua look away with satisfaction, and drank the sweet mung bean water. It was rustic, glutinous and sweet, not to mention very comfortable. It was suitable to drink on a hot day.

"Have you found it?"

"What did you find?" Hua Chengtian looked at his father blankly. Forgive him for not understanding.

Old Man Hua glared at his son, "Salt, there is someone in our village who doesn't have much salt anymore. Several families have come to buy salt, you idiot."

Hua Chengtian: "..."

I can't afford it!sighed.

Nodding, of course he knows.

Although he was usually on the way to catch fish when the villagers bought salt, his wife never hid it from him.

It's been more than a year and a half since it started raining. It's not surprising that some people are short of salt. I just don't know what Dad means by asking this.

"The Qinggu Mountains are quite rich in products."

Dad's sudden words really confused Hua Chengtian, but it didn't stop him from nodding.

"What dad said is that the mountain range behind our village stretches endlessly and is rich in vegetation, so there is no shortage of things."

"That's what I thought too. The Qinggu Mountains are endless and there might be something we need. I'm not busy these days, so I just thought..."

At this point, Hua Chengtian still doesn't understand. He mentioned salt and the rich products in the mountains. He was clearly asked to go out to find salt!
"Dad... wants me to find salt," Hua Chengtian affirmed.

"Yes, but don't feel pressured. It doesn't matter if you can find it or not. I just think that if something happens, we don't have to worry about our family's secrets being exposed."

The truth behind this... is that I can't stand him being idle!

I have just been comfortable at home for two days, and now I am about to leave the valley again.

Hua Chengtian looked at his father helplessly.

"But...Dad, have you forgotten that I don't know how to find salt at all?" "If you don't understand, just think about it slowly. Who is born to understand? It's nothing more than seeing more and trying more. If you see a lake, it's still there." Look around for the mountains covered with hoarfrost. I’m not saying you’ll definitely find them, but if you don’t look for them, you won’t find them.” As he spoke, Old Man Hua rolled his eyes at his son in disgust.

Hua Chengtian: "..."

Yes, it seems that dad has made up his mind.

What can I do is just nod.

"Okay, why don't I go?" Hua Chengtian compromised decisively.

Speaking of which, his father didn't let him go out to look for him when it was extremely cold, so he felt sorry for him. At least the current temperature was bearable even though it was hot. It was better than being so cold that he couldn't stretch out his hands and feet. As a son, he also felt sorry for him. Be content.

"That's pretty much it." Old Man Hua was satisfied.

"Let's go out in the next few days while we are not busy. Take Heida and the others with you. By the way, have you decided who to take with you?" Old Man Hua suddenly remembered that this is also a very important question. He can't go with him. The dogs should go alone. They were all alone with no one to talk to, and even as a father, he couldn't bear it.

Hua Chengtian glanced at his father and rubbed his face. This is indeed a problem and needs to be thought about carefully.

Since he is going out to look for salt, it is impossible to come back in three to five days. It is impossible to guarantee that he will not use the things in the space after a long time, so outsiders cannot bring him with him. No one is a fool and it is too easy to cheat.

After much deliberation, I decided to take my eldest son and several nephews with me.

The eldest son is more stable and can keep his composure. Don't think he doesn't know that the second boy and the fourth boy turn a blind eye to things that appear in the house because of him and never ask. The eldest son can also help cover up by following him. .

There can't be a man at home, so the second son will stay at home, and the father has nothing to worry about.

As for whether to take Jin'er with him, Hua Chengtian thought about it for a moment and then gave up the idea. Going out was not for fun, so he should let the child stay comfortably at home.

After thinking for a moment, Hua Chengtian already had an idea in his mind and discussed it with his father.

Old Man Hua nodded, these are the safest candidates for his son’s secret.

With a stone in his heart, the old man suddenly felt a lot more relaxed. Seeing his son standing next to him, he immediately felt disgusted. He waved his hand to let him leave quickly. He went back to the house and continued to lie down while humming a humorous tune. Hua Chengtian outside heard his mother's irritable voice.

"Old man, don't let me sleep anymore..."

Then he heard the sound of snapping and his father's begging for mercy, and Hua Chengtian's aggrieved heart instantly felt comfortable.

My mother was so powerful. It would have been better if she took a few more shots. With the corners of his mouth raised, he turned around and went back to the house to continue lying down.

The sun was very hot at noon. Apart from cooling down in the house and taking a nap, there was really no special entertainment unless I was thinking about heat stroke.

When Xishi learned that her father was going to take her eldest brother and cousins ​​out, Hua Jin hesitated for a moment but thought of the temperature outside and decisively retreated.

She is no longer the little girl she was a few years ago. She is about to get haircut, so she might as well stay at home honestly.

Moreover, my grandpa, grandma, and mother are all gone, so they can’t even eat anything good.

Thinking of going here, Hua Jin had no intention of going there. There was no comfort at home on a hot day. She was determined to lie down. Nowadays, life in the valley is quite comfortable, so isn't it the time to lie down.

Of course, the most important thing is that Hua Jin is still a little uneasy. After all, this place belongs to the category of deep mountains. Although the four mountains surrounding the valley have been built with high tree fences, they are not completely safe. Can they be blocked? Those who climb trees may not necessarily be able to climb trees.

With her here, at least the danger can be detected earlier.

Here Hua Chengtian looked at his daughter who was eating steadily, and thought that he was really not used to his daughter being clingy in the past.

The child no longer clings to him, but feels empty in his heart.
