Chapter 1 Buying Salt
The morning mist has not dissipated, and wisps of sunlight are scattered among the bushes through the gaps, like golden threads passing through and frozen in the picture, which is fascinating.The picturesque scenery, the only thing that is out of place is probably that there is a predator lying in the grass behind the canopy at this moment.

Dingyu has been lying motionless in this place for more than an hour, waiting for the final hunting moment.

Sure enough, she lived up to her waiting. As the sun slowly rose and more sunlight fell, all kinds of animals in the forest started to move as if they had woken up.And with the herbivores catching food, the ethereal and picturesque fairyland will be broken in the next moment.

Ding Yu touched the stick in his hand, spotted a pheasant that was closest, lowered its head to catch food, and hit the stick—quickly and steadily, successfully captured the first prey of the day.

However, with her big moves, this is the only one she has gained in this place, and the others have already been screamed and flew away by the movement.

Ding Yu was not discouraged either, he was sure he was dead, so he threw it into the back basket, picked up the stick and continued to look for the next target.One morning she harvested two pheasants and one gray rabbit.Seeing her holding her mouth to cover her growling stomach at noon, looking at the results of the morning, she sighed.

I have to go to the county to sell these, and I don't have time for her to fill her stomach, so I can only reward the Wu Zang Temple when I come back at night.

In the complicated and winding alleys, Ding Yu, dressed like a little beggar, is inconspicuous in the eyes of those who sell things secretly, and her young age is her best protective color.Everyone who came here was in a hurry, and left as soon as they bought or sold their own things, and they didn't stay long, let alone look at others.

And she was also in a hurry, picking those who had food on the ground and turned around. After a while, she exchanged the two pheasants and a fat rabbit she brought for some food and money.

Leaving the black market, Dingyu threw the food into the space, then grabbed some money and came to the supply and marketing cooperative.

At this time, there was no one in the supply and marketing cooperative, and it was empty. Dingyu went straight to the non-staple food counter, and held up five cents on his feet, barely crossing the wooden cabinet and handing it to the salesperson.

"Everyone buys salt."

Otherwise, there is no way, if you don't pass it to the front, the salesperson with eyes on the top of his head can't see' you.

Ding Yu, who didn't have a certificate from the village, could only follow the crowd in order not to cause trouble.As for those book-traveling heroines who can't understand the plot of killing all directions, I'm sorry, she is too young and her energy is too small to kill.

From the moment she woke up, she set a goal for herself, to eat and drink enough in this life, to taste all the delicacies that she regretted not eating in her previous life, and to think about nothing else.

The male salesperson behind the counter lowered his noble eyelids, and took Dingyu's money, but moved quickly, wrapped a few large pieces of salt in old newspapers and handed them to Dingyu.I didn't say a word during the whole process, and it was written on my face that I was too lazy to talk to you.

The money from selling a pheasant is gone!

Ding Yu, who didn't ask questions, breathed a sigh of relief, and successfully bought what he needed most now-salt.She didn't have to think about the other things. Tickets were required for everything in the supply and marketing cooperative, but fortunately, salt didn't need tickets, otherwise, she wouldn't even be able to afford salt.Thinking of having delicious food again soon, Ding Yu felt light on her feet. If only she could meet meat along the way, she wouldn't have to go to the mountain trap again.

It's a pity that she was not lucky, and she didn't come across it all the way back. There was a pheasant flapping and calling on another mountain. It was too far away, so she just listened to the sound, and had to go into the trap dug before entering the mountain. A gray rabbit .

Peeled, washed, took out the useless internal organs, brought them to the secret base she was looking for, cooked them whole in a casserole, then tore them into strips and put them in broken rice to make meat porridge. It's nine o'clock.

There were no entertainment items at this time, so the whole village was very quiet except for the occasional dog barking.The Banshan Brigade is already in the mountains, and almost every household in the village has courtyard walls for safety.The wall of Ding's house is more than one meter high, which is taller than her current height. Fortunately, it is made of irregular small stones, and there are many gaps for her to insert her feet and bring things.

Because the original owner's father was more favored and lived in the east room, Ding Yu climbed into the house from the east courtyard wall where they lived.After entering, the rear window was also relatively low. Ding Yu knocked twice softly to make sure that the people in the house would not be frightened by his sudden appearance, so he pushed open the window and entered the house with the casserole in his arms.

"Uncle, Erni, it's time to eat. I've brought you food back."

With the bright moonlight turning into the house from the back window, Dingyu knew that someone was waiting for him even in the dark.

"Sister, you are finally back!"

Sure enough, Erni responded in a low voice immediately.

"Why are you alone, Uncle?"

"I'm afraid you will come back from the front, my uncle is waiting behind the gate by washing Sanni's boils!"

"Then you go and ask uncle to come back to eat. Hey, how is Sanni? How did you feed her?"

"My grandma skimmed some thin rice soup. She was screaming hungry when it was dark, and she just put her to sleep. I'll call my uncle."

The two sisters briefly exchanged information, and then went to call the uncle who was still waiting outside.After a while, after the characteristic creaking sound of the wooden door opening and closing, there was an inquiry from my uncle.

"How is everything going well? Did you encounter any bad things?"

The boy's lowered voice was full of concern.

"No, I also bought the food. I specially touched my face very dark. I ran very fast and didn't communicate with people much. Don't worry, it's very safe."

Ding Yu also suppressed his voice and said a few more words, speaking more specifically can make people waiting at home feel more at ease.

"When you buy food, you should avoid going to the county. The road is so far away. I heard that there are many child abductees outside. If you encounter them, you will never see us. Do you know that you should go out less in the future!"

"Yeah, it smells so good! Sis, are you stewing meat?"

Erni interrupted the rest of the ramblings with a loud voice, swallowing the rest of the boy's lessons, and smelling the aroma of meat porridge in the opened casserole, she couldn't help swallowing.

The darkness makes the taste more sensitive, not to mention the meat porridge stewed in a casserole.

"Is there no one in the room over there?" Ding Yu smiled silently and continued Erni's words.This girl is not an honest person!
"No, I disappeared after dinner, otherwise would I dare to speak so loudly!"

Even if Erni didn't say it clearly, she immediately understood who the elder sister was asking.

After hearing this, Ding Yu raised his eyebrows in the dark, and after a little thought, he knew where he had gone. "Wake up the third child and drink rice oil. There is salt. Let's eat meat and drink porridge."

So, in the dark room, the windows and doors were blocked tightly. The three children had meat and rice in this shabby room, which was not a little bit richer than Lao Ding's dinner at night.
