The salt Luo Xunjian knows is boiled. He also went to the old salt field to see the boiled salt. The boiled salt was already shocking enough, but compared with the sun-dried salt, the scene when the salt was boiled is the most magnificent. When it comes to producing salt, shoveling the salt from the salt field is the most exciting.
Pushing the shovel forward, layer after layer of white crystals slowly gathered. When the wooden shovel was pushed to the end, the white salt could cover the wooden shovel. Only once, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
Since then, he has identified magistrate Bai in his heart.
With County Magistrate Bai's hand alone, the Song family is not enough.
As long as the saltworks are well guarded, in Beihai County, no matter what kind of ghosts and snakes he is, he will not be afraid at all, okay
Inspector Luo was quite confident at first. After all, there is only one way for everyone to enter and exit. If you guard the checkpoints and pay attention to inspections along the way, you will be fine.
Who knew people could still sneak in
He recruited a soldier and ordered: "Take two people and go quickly to inspect the checkpoints on the road, check where the people slipped in, and fill the gap for me."
"yes!"
Song Xunjian brought a group of people into the mountain, while Zhou Liwei took the rest of the people to patrol around the salt field, and even gathered all the people from Xiaowa Village to guard the salt field.
As soon as the villagers of Xiaowa Village heard that someone had sneaked into the mountains, they immediately stopped cooking or eating, and took their harpoons and sticks to the saltworks.
Although the new saltworks have only been opened for a short time, they have already received their wages, and the cold copper coins make their hearts very hot.
Moreover, no matter male or female, Bai Shan selected people, as long as they are honest and willing to work, so there are quite a few people in the village who work in the new saltworks.
At this time, if someone comes to sabotage, it is equivalent to cutting off their money.
Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents, they absolutely don't allow it.
Zhou Liwei stood on the top of the mountain and looked down, and the sky was getting dark. They stood here and looked down, not to mention the Yantian, they couldn't even see such a big sea, it was dark everywhere, and there was no light at all.
The soldier asked, "Master Zhou, how can I find this?"
Zhou Liwei thought for a while and said, "Light up the torches, and everyone will follow closely together. After finishing this mountain, let's go further in."
The soldier was surprised, "Doesn't that let the hiding people know that we found them?"
"Just to let them find out," Zhou Liwei said, "To startle the snake, we know where the snake came from, it's the best if we can catch it, it doesn't matter if we can't, the most important thing is to keep the Yantian, so we want to scare them away. "
Zhou Liwei felt that there was no need to go head-to-head with the Song family at this time, it was the job of the little uncle, and he just had to guard the salt fields.
When the little uncle left, he also said that he only needs to manage the Yantian well.
Zhou Liwei built up his mind, became more determined, and greeted everyone: "Light up the torches, and ask the villagers to light up too. The mountain road is not easy to walk. Don't let the thief miss you. In the end, you will fall into something bad."
He said: "You don't need to speak softly, as long as you don't talk about the saltworks, you can speak loudly about other things, and you can just call for arresting thieves."
As soon as everyone heard this, they lit the torches immediately, and began to push inwards around the mountain of the salt field. At first, everyone was normal, just cursing thieves loudly, and then I don’t know who started to mention the fire two years ago Some people cursed loudly that the son who set fire to the mountain last time had no butthole, and that he would be fishermen without boats for generations to come...
Zhou Liwei: ... This curse is really ingenious.
However, his heart moved, and he shouted loudly: "Be careful, be careful, don't let them hide in the grass, and take a look at the trees, don't just focus on your feet and ignore your head."
He shouted again: "Be careful with the torch in your hand, don't light the forest."
"Don't worry, it's just raining."
"Then be careful!"
"Master Zhou, I looked up and there was no one."
"Then go further inside. Anyway, pay more attention, and look for it both up, down, left, and right."
The voice spread far away, and a few people hiding in the tree not far away:...
They sneaked down the tree before the people arrived, and wanted to go back to report to the big team in the dark, but because Zhou Liwei and others lit a torch to look for them, they were afraid that the fire would reveal their position, so they extinguished the fire.
In the dark...they lost their way.
After walking for a long distance, they felt that they should arrive at the place, but the cuckoo bird called several times and no one responded to them. They couldn't help but panic, so they lowered their voices and said in a human way, "Brother Zhu, Brother Zhu, are you there?"
Brother Zhu is of course not here, he is feeding the mosquitoes on the other side.
He resisted the urge to pat his neck. Seeing that the fire was still approaching them, he couldn't help cursing in a low voice: "Where did those lazy bastards of the third child go? Let them go to the front to find out quietly. How did you recruit people?"
"Didn't the third one invite you?" The second child expressed doubts, "So many people have found here, have we been discovered long ago?"
"Impossible, we didn't make any noise before."
As soon as the words fell, they faintly heard movement on the other side. They couldn't help turning their heads to look, and saw that there were torches on their side and rear, and the torches seemed to be coming towards them.
Brother Zhu's expression changed, won't he be surrounded if he nests here again
He got up immediately, lowered his voice and said, "Let's go quickly."
"Where are you going?"
Brother Zhu: "Wherever you want to go, you can't be caught by them anyway. Let's avoid them first, and take a look at Regenerate Fire when we are far away."
"Then what about the third child?"
"Do you see their shadows here?" Brother Zhu suspected that they had already run away, "Let's go first and look for them later."
Seeing that the torches on both sides were getting closer and closer, the group couldn't bear it any longer, and quietly slipped away in another direction.
Luo Xunjian and Zhou Liwei met in the mountains, Luo Xunjian asked in disbelief: "Why did you come here? Didn't you ask you to guard the saltworks?"
"Don't worry, we found them bit by bit along the mountain on the other side of the salt field. If they were really here, they might have been scared away. Why, did you meet anyone when you came from there?"
"No."
Zhou Liwei frowned, "Strange, where did that person go?"
Inspector Luo was skeptical, "Did you really see someone?"
Zhou Liwei wished to go back in time and let Luo inspector take a look in person. He raised his hand and said, "Brother, I dare to swear, I really saw someone, otherwise why should I bother with this?"
That's right, inspector Luo touched his forehead and couldn't help but look in another direction.
Zhou Liwei also took a look, and then said: "Impossible, I have been there before, and beyond that is the sea, with cliffs, what are you doing there, jumping into the sea?"
Because it is to build a salt field, not only to find a place suitable for the development of the salt field, but also to protect the safety of the salt field, so Zhou Liwei went wherever he could.
The mountains in that direction are not easy to walk. Although the more you go there, the trees become sparser, but the high and low ones are easy to fall down. There is a cliff at the end, and the sea is below the cliff. The grass looks green, but it is still very dangerous, especially at night, if you accidentally step on the air, you will fall down with one foot.
If you go down, it may be for a lifetime.
