Chapter 459 Yantian
After they had inhaled enough smoke, Wu Qingfeng asked, "When did you move here from Guanhai? I remember that this place wasn't the sea before. How did it become like this now?"

Several people were full of the smell of smoke, and when they heard Wu Qingfeng's question, they shook their heads and sighed.

"Brother, you don't know. After the end of the world, the sea level has been rising, and we have no choice but to leave our hometown. We are actually people from several fishing villages. When we moved, everyone had different opinions. Some of them didn't want to leave home too much. It was far away, and stopped after only a few tens of kilometers. Like us, we were afraid that the sea would rise too fast and it would be too late, so we simply moved farther away. No, isn’t this a mountain? Even if the sea rises, it can block it for a while. That's why we settled here."

"Not long after we settled down, the sea water rose. We were planning to move again, and found that the sea water had receded a bit. It has been about a year, and the sea water has been standing here. It was a little deeper before, and now it has receded a little bit. .It’s hard to find a suitable place to settle down, and we don’t know what the situation will be, so everyone decided to stay here to see the situation.”

Wu Qingfeng and Lian Yao looked at the mountain they were pointing at, which was not half as high as Lushan Mountain.

Lushan Mountain is not high at all. It is said to be a mountain, but it is actually just a hill.However, the mountain in front of me is not even as good as Lushan Mountain. The high place is only more than 100 meters high, and the low place is estimated to be only 20 meters.

Shorter than short, it looks like a levee blocking the sea, just blocking the sea water on the other side of Xingang Village.

Wu Qingfeng looked around while listening.

There are only ten or twenty houses in the village, but the area is not small, and they are all three or four stories high.Wu Qingfeng compared his memories, and found that this place should be the suburb of a certain city.The people here are relatively wealthy, so the houses are all private houses, and the houses are also built in style.It is not a problem for a family of 40 people to live, but if it is crowded, it can accommodate [-] or [-] people.

Now these houses seem to be quite full, with many people coming in and out.However, the skin color was the same as that of the people in front of them, all of them were swarthy, and I didn't see a few people with pale faces.

"Here are all the people who moved here from your villages? Where are the people who lived here?"

All four of them looked back, with helpless smiles on their faces: "Brother, don't treat us as bad people. We have been honest fishermen all our lives, and we can't do things like taking over other people's homes. When I came here, I saw the sea water rising, and I was so scared that I moved all of them away."

Hearing what they said, Wu Qingfeng's eyes flickered, and he felt a little embarrassed.He really thought about it just now, thinking that they were doves occupying the magpie's nest.Now that the truth is out, he will feel a little embarrassed for wronging others.But thinking about how helpless they are...

"Has anyone else been here?"

"I've been here, quite a few. They all came here to exchange salt. Brother, didn't you come here to exchange salt?"

Salt?
Upon hearing this word, Wu Qingfeng and Lian Yao's ears perked up.

They came here just to inquire about information. It would be better if they knew where to find salt.Who knew that with such good luck, there was actually salt here.

Curiously, Lian Yao stuck her head out of the window and looked around, but she didn't see any trace of salt.

The few people laughed when they saw Lian Yao's actions: "The salt field is not here, you have to climb over this mountain to make it. The salt can only be dried at the seaside."

A joke was made, Lian Yao's face turned red slightly.

In her memory, it was still the salt well she saw in Waji Village last time.There are almost every household there, and you can see them everywhere.So she thought it would be the same here.

Seeing her like this, Wu Qingfeng naturally understood that Lian Yao didn't know about drying salt by the sea.Originally, he came here to exchange salt, so he was naturally willing to satisfy the little junior sister's curiosity.

"We are also here to exchange salt, can we go to Yantian to have a look?"

After hearing this, several people asked without answering: "Brother, how much do you plan to change? What do you want to change?"

Wu Qingfeng didn't answer directly, but only asked them about the exchange rate.

"We're just here to inquire about the news first. If we really want to change, we have to wait for someone from the base to come."

Unexpectedly, these people nodded and took it for granted.Wu Qingfeng narrowed his eyes. It seems that this place is small and has been in contact with many people.It seems that a lot of news can be inquired from here.

"We have a catty of rice and a catty of salt here. If it's something else, you have to take it out and see."

Lian Yao turned around, the price of salt here is not high.It turned out that in Waji Village they exchanged three catties of rice for one catty of salt.The price of salt is so much cheaper, so they can bring more salt back.

Wu Qingfeng should know what she was thinking when he saw her eyes were bright.Without pointing it out, he patted her hand and asked those people: "Is your salt coarse salt or fine salt?"

The few people suddenly laughed: "Brother, how can there be fine salt in this season? It's all coarse salt, and only coarse salt."

Wu Qingfeng understood it in his heart, and didn't care about it any more, he just said, "Can you take me to see it?"

Then they each threw a cigarette in the past.

After receiving the cigarettes, several people immediately smiled more sincerely, and immediately nodded and agreed to take them to Yantian.

Wu Qingfeng followed them slowly in the car.One of them approached him, smiled silly, and asked, "Brother, do you still have cigarettes? How about I exchange some salt?"

The other three people looked over immediately, opened their mouths, and when the words came to their lips, they hesitated for a moment and then retracted them.

Wu Qingfeng used to be addicted to cigarettes, but Lian Yao didn't like the smell of cigarettes very much, so he gradually quit.However, the village head and Uncle Guozhong are both old smokers, and those who can't smoke will lose energy.So Lianyao found tobacco seeds and planted some, but not many, after all, it is not good to smoke too much, just let them have a good time every day.

The cigarettes are all rolled by themselves, so they don't look very delicate.But at a time like this, it's not easy to have a cigarette, so who cares about it?
Lian Yao was overjoyed, it was not easy to get cigarettes, she still had ready-made tobacco leaves in the space of her medicine cabinet, she could make all of them into shredded tobacco, I believe they would not mind rolling a roll by themselves, or getting a bong.

As soon as I thought about it, I heard the man continue to say: "I don't want too many, just three or five. I just haven't smoked for a long time, just want to get addicted."

Upon hearing this, Lian Yao was immediately discouraged.How much salt can three or five sticks be exchanged for?
Wu Qingfeng still wanted to ask them for more information, so naturally he was not stingy with these few cigarettes.He came out this time because he thought that he would deal with people, so he specially prepared about a pack of cigarettes with him.Doesn't this work?
Seeing Wu Qingfeng nod his head, the rest of them couldn't help leaning over and making the same request one by one.Wu Qingfeng also nodded in agreement.

A few people were so happy that they even walked faster, almost gaining the upper hand.

Not far into the village, they let Wu Qingfeng and the other two get off the car, and led them up the mountain on a stepped mountain road.Over the mountain is the endless sea.There is a white salt field by the sea, which makes people's eyes shine.
