Chapter 8 Find a Salt Tree

After driving away Tao Erlang and Chen Widow, Zi Su didn't feel relaxed.

Such a rascal, you don't know when he will come to bite you.Today, she frightened him with her viciousness and vigor, but it's hard to guarantee that he won't set his sights on the young third brother and fourth sister.

Zisu repeatedly told the third brother and fourth sister that they must not be separated. If they met Tao Erlang and ran away separately, they must not be caught by Tao Erlang.

Although the third brother and fourth sister were afraid, they saw Tao Erlang being beaten away by Zisu with their own eyes, and they were convinced by Zisu's words.Qi Qi agreed.

The third brother even asked Zisu, "Second sister, if we risk our lives, second uncle won't dare to bully us."

Zisu looked at the gloominess between the third brother's brows that didn't match his age, nodded ruthlessly and said, "Yes."

"Why?" Fourth Sister asked from the side.

Zisu thought for a while, then said softly: "Because we don't have what they have, and all we have is this life. He has a lot of reluctance, but we don't have it."

The fourth sister could not understand, but the third brother grabbed the fourth sister's hand and said loudly: "In the future, if he dares to bully us, I will cut him with a knife just like the second sister."

Zisu nodded.

Although I know that this is too bloody, it may have more or less impact on the psychology of the third brother and fourth sister.But they have no one to rely on, only themselves can rely on.

"Third brother, fourth sister, remember." Zisu looked at the two seriously, "If others do not come to bully us, we must not provoke others, even if we are hungry, we are not allowed to steal or rob, remember Do you live?"

"Second sister, we remember."

Zisu nodded and patted the two of them, "Okay, let's go pick the rice."

Sending off the third brother and fourth sister, Zisu took a hatchet and looked at Aunt Tao who was wiping away tears, "I'm going to the mountains, take care of the third brother and fourth sister, don't let that bastard take them away!" .”

Aunt Tao nodded, seeing Zisu walking outside, she walked a few steps, chased to the door, and said softly, "Be careful yourself."

Zisu nodded.

Taojia Village is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and as long as one walks into the vast forest, it will be a dense forest covering the sky and the sun.

Zisu once heard from Tao Youtian's old lady that tigers, wolves, and other ferocious animals appeared in Taojia Village many years ago. Over the years, hunters have often gone up to the mountains to hunt wild boars, roe deer, and so on.As for rabbits and pheasants, as long as they go farther, they will most likely not return empty-handed.

Zisu doesn't know how to hunt, but she wants to go to the mountains to see if there are other foods, such as mushrooms.

The narrow mountain road only allows two people to pass by each other, and the branches and thatch growing on both sides of the road hurt their faces.

The sky is high and wide open, and from time to time you can hear the sound of "cuckoo" birds, and there will always be rustling sounds in the bushes.On the way, Zisu cut off a two-meter-long branch that was two fingers thick. Wherever he went, the branch hit.I'm afraid of accidentally encountering a poisonous snake or something.

During the period, she also saw colorful pheasants flying past her eyes with fluttering wings, but it was a pity that she was holding a hatchet instead of a bow and arrow, so she could only watch the pheasant roam freely through the jungle.

If you can't catch pheasants, if you can find some wild eggs!

After searching for a long time, Zi Su couldn't find anything except a few pheasant feathers.

Sighing, Zisu found a place with plenty of sunlight and sat down.

The wind whistled past her ears, leaving only the sound of her heavy breathing between the sky and the earth.

Because I haven't eaten salt for several days, I feel a little weak and have a feeling of stagnant breathing.As soon as it was illuminated by the sun, Venus appeared in front of my eyes.She simply closed her eyes and relaxed her body to "sunbathe".

When I opened my eyes again, the feeling of dizziness subsided slightly.But Zisu knew that she had to find something that could be exchanged for money in the shortest possible time, otherwise, even if this body did not starve to death, it would be crippled in the absence of salt.

Walking through another hill, a large number of tall and short trees suddenly appeared in front of her, but without exception, they were full of crisp fruits. Those fruits were the size of mung beans, and the emerald green peel was covered with Frost white.

Seeing this field of wild fruit trees suddenly, Zisu was too stunned to speak.

The next moment, there was an "Aww", and he rushed over, grabbed a handful of wild fruits from the nearby tree and stuffed them into his mouth without chewing, just kept them in his mouth like that.

Salty, it's really salty, but the saltiness at this moment is really incomparably delicious to her!

No matter what, Zisu would never have imagined that a "salt tree" would be found in this jungle!In her previous life, a roommate from Dianbai, Guangdong told her that there was a tree called "Dianyan tree" in her hometown.This kind of tree will bear fruit in autumn. When the fruit is ripe, salt flakes will grow on the surface of the fruit, which are white crystals. The salt flakes are edible and taste very salty. In the past, poor people used it as edible salt.

She remembered that when she was traveling on October [-], her roommate deliberately took her into the deep mountains and pointed to the tree for her to recognize.

Unexpected, really unexpected... Tears flashed in Zisu's eyes.I don't know how the roommate is doing, has she had a good relationship with her boyfriend who has been in love for ten years?I don't know if she shed tears after knowing the news of her death.After all, there are six girls in a dormitory, and they are the best.

A large piece of "salt tree" was full of fruits, and Zisu regretted why she didn't bring a basket.

She carefully cut down a slightly smaller branch, planning to carry it home first.

After walking for a little half way, because of the handful of salt just now, my mouth was extremely thirsty at this moment.

Zi Su let go of the branches on her back, turned around and went to look for clean mountain spring water.

Walking down the hill, she came to the field and followed the ditch beside the field all the way up. Although it was all open-air water, she stubbornly believed that only the water at the source was clean.

Walking, walking, Zisu found another surprise, she saw the faint shadow of shrimp swimming in the ditch.

After discovering this, she lost her temper and looked forward more carefully. There seemed to be fish the size of a fingernail.

Where there are small fish, there will be big fish. Even if there are no big fish, such small fish and shrimps can be cooked in a pot with salt water.It is even more delicious for the third brother and fourth sister who have never seen meat.

Zisu didn't want to drink any more water now, so she pulled her feet and walked back. She wanted to go home quickly and get ready.

Bamboo baskets are sufficient for catching shrimp, but the "salt tree" needs to be picked carefully, shaken off the salt, packed in clay pots, and stored.Otherwise, this season is over.We have to wait until next fall!

It was almost evening when we returned to Taojia Village.

The third brother and fourth sister saw that she came back empty-handed, although their eyes were full of disappointment, they were not sad, and they showed Zisu their rice grains for today.

Zi Su praised the two of them a few words, and then went to find Aunt Tao.

"You think this can be used as salt?" Aunt Tao looked at the fruit of the salt tree in Zisu's hand in a daze.

Zisu nodded, and said softly, "You pay for it."

Aunt Tao picked some up and put it in her mouth in doubt, and a look of joy appeared on her face in a moment.

Repeatedly: "Salty is salty, it tastes like salt."

Zisu smiled and said, "Bring third brother and fourth sister tomorrow, let's go to the mountains to pick this, we need to stock up."

"Okay." Aunt Tao said repeatedly.

Zisu thought of the ditch with shrimps and fish again, because she was not sure how many she could catch, so she didn't say anything. After making a delicious meal of kudzu root for the third brother and fourth sister, Zisu turned and went to the village Zhu Miza's family.
