Reborn in the fiery age, I am a salted fish in the mountains

Chapter 33 Don't Have a Taste

Follow the rope and return to the small cave where you live.

Seeing Han Xiaokang and Aju, the little macaque climbed back on the rope smoothly.

It was still at the entrance of the dead man's cave, and it seemed that it wanted to help untie the rope so that Han Xiaokang could take it back.

In the end, it was Han Xiaokang who gestured and stroked to communicate with it. The little macaque, who seemed to have gradually understood human nature, returned to the small cave along the stone wall.

It's just that there are two big tigers and two tigers in the cave.

The little macaque would rather stay on the rocky cliff at the entrance of the cave than go in for shelter from the wind.

Aju is really diligent.

As soon as she returned to the cave, she was busy, and began to use the sacks brought by her and Han Xiaokang to fill them with dead branches and leaves.

Aju is planning to use the sack as a mattress.

If you stuff some dead leaves inside, it will not only keep you warm while sleeping, but also make you feel much more comfortable.

Aju quietly left the most sheltered position to Han Xiaokang.

And she slept a little outside, so that Han Xiaokang could slightly resist the wind that got into the cave.

Nighttime temperatures in the mountains are low.

Even with two campfires in the cave, it was still a bit chilly in the wee hours of the morning.

While Aju was still busy, Han Xiaokang concentrated his thoughts in his mind.

【Ding--】

[Today's work: one full worker, 10 work points]

【Ding--】

[Catch 55 red dragon centipedes and 27 East Asian pincers today, and won the "Advanced Individual Production Award" with 150 work points]

【Ding--】

[Today I got 62.5 grams of gold bars, 7 silver dollars, won the "Outstanding Contribution Award", and rewarded 300 work points]

【prompt】:
[Your total work points are 728, you can open the treasure chest once, do you want to spend 500 work points to open the treasure chest? 】

Han Xiaokang had a thought, thought for a while and said "yes".

"Crack-"

An iron door on the Fengchao cabinet was opened, and Han Xiaokang took out the contents one by one to see, but all of them were construction auxiliary materials:

What bundles of iron wire, whole boxes of iron nails, iron triangles, door and window handles, and iron claws used to fix log purlins.

There are even hacksaws, hammers, chisels, shovels, crowbars and sledgehammers.

There is even a chainsaw that seems to be of very good quality
these things,
It is not rare in future generations, and it is not worth a lot of money.

But at this time,

Everyone is working hard to make steel, just because steel is an extremely important strategic material.

Which place is not desperately trying to get more steel, so as to become an advanced?
Under such circumstances, how could it be possible to sell a large number of steel products outside?
Even if the members of the production team wanted to make a hoe and kitchen knife, they had to go to the state-run ironware service agency, and they could only buy in limited quantities with a certificate.

Don't say that steel products are very expensive.

And even if you buy it with money, it is difficult to buy a little more steel products.

This is useless, not to mention that the production team leader has nothing to do about it.

Even if a public official comes forward,

A brigade-level cadre took a certificate and went to the ironware service agency. Even he couldn't buy many steel products to go back!

Then let alone myself.

So this time,
Han Xiaokang was very happy that so many steel products could be opened from the treasure chest.

Otherwise,
After a while, I want to build a house, but I really don't know where to go to get so many iron nails and iron utensils!

Throw things back into the box as they were,
Han Xiaokang withdrew his thoughts, returned to normal, and began to lie down and sleep.

sleep until midnight,

Excited, Han Xiaokang opened his eyes, only to see Aju who was 2 feet away with his back facing him, curled up and trembling slightly.
Thin shoulders, slender waist, pointed buttocks, skinny arms.
All of them showed the girl in front of her, her fragile and small body caused by long-term lack of nutrition.

"Ugh--"

Han Xiaokang sighed slightly.

Yes, there are many poor people in this world, and there are many people who are more pitiful than Ah Ju.

But if they are not in front of my eyes, I won't have such deep feelings.

Therefore, it is impossible to give birth to the kind of sympathy for what happened to them.

"Brother Xiaokang, are you still asleep?"

Aju obviously heard Han Xiaokang's sigh, and then turned around, holding the chubby Erhu in her arms.

I saw Aju flashing a pair of pure eyes, looking at Han Xiaokang quietly, "Brother Xiaokang, do you want me to chat with you?"

Han Xiaokang shook his head slightly.

Aju obviously understood that there was a big gap between herself and Han Xiaokang.

This gap stems from cultural level and ideological cognition, which is something deep in the bones.

Just like when they first entered the new society, after soldiers married college students or even ladies, there was a big gap in their cognition in all aspects.

Just like Brother Yunlong, the difference between him and his wife is normal.
It is difficult to completely eliminate these deep-seated things in a short period of time
Aju offered to chat with her, but was rejected by Han Xiaokang.

So I vaguely understand these things in my heart,
But Aju, who couldn't clearly classify and summarize it, smiled softly, "Well, then go to sleep, and I'll watch for you."

A vigilant little macaque squats at the entrance of the cave.

There are big tigers inside who don't want people to hug them.

There are two tigers in Aju's arms, so why should she stand guard for him?

She was obviously looking for a reason, so that the situation of having nothing to say between the two of them seemed less embarrassing.

Han Xiaokang asked, "Have you been up all this time?"

Aju nodded, "Because most of the time, I can't go out to work during the day, so I rarely doze off at night."

Anyway, I can't sleep now, so Han Xiaokang asked her, "What are your future plans?"

As soon as he asked this sentence, Han Xiaokang regretted it!
If you don't have the ball skills, what can you do to yourself?
I also plan to work hard for a while, and after accumulating a certain amount of wealth, I will start to live and be a happy salted fish that secretly eats meat.

Why are you bothering so much?What do you mean by asking yourself this question?
Don't want to care about it after asking, and then throw a few cheap words of sympathy to the other party?
What kind of business is it to do this?
Hearing Han Xiaokang's question, Aju didn't have the slightest bit of sadness on her face.

He just replied lightly, "Actually, I don't have any plans, just like a miscellaneous fish in a small stream, when a flash flood occurs, it will be wherever it can wash me away."

"If my father can take me out in exchange for a large gift, I don't mind what kind of person he is."

Aju smiled very quietly, "It's a pity that my father will be disappointed in the end.

What kind of reputation do I have for Night Spirit and White Sand Dunes, and my family has that kind of reputation.

How can anyone be willing to give a high gift to marry me? "

"If you really meet such a good person, I'm afraid you don't want to give it away for nothing."

When Aju said this, her face was still indifferent, "If it's really not possible, I want to build a hut in this mountain and reclaim a piece of wasteland. Let's live like this."

Now that the words have come to this point, Han Xiaokang asked, "Then you don't care about your father and your brother from now on?"

"I want to control it, even if I sell myself for them."

Aju smiled, "Unfortunately, no one wants it.

If they only want a few catties of food, a few dollars, and save one person's rations, they will marry me off without hesitation.

Then I pick some medicinal materials and plant some grains in the mountains for my father, isn't it the same? "

"But what about your safety?"

"Safety?"

Aju's eyes widened, "It's not safe for me to live outside the mountains. My whole life is basically like a leaf falling in the wind, and I can only be manipulated. I can also be like a grass in the mountains, fend for itself. "

"Well."

Han Xiaokang faltered, "Come and sleep inside, it's windy outside."

This time, Aju was disobedient.

Just shook his head slightly.

Han Xiaokang glared at her, "If you don't fall asleep again, I will leave here tomorrow, and I won't let you follow me."

Aju hesitated for a moment, but still did not dare to confront Han Xiaokang, so she obediently changed positions while holding Erhu.

On the sack where Han Xiaokang slept, there was a unique smell of young men, a trace of sweat, and a little bit of flue-cured tobacco.

This made Aju, who was sleeping on the sack, feel a little deer pounding in her heart, and even her breathing became no longer so smooth.
And the place where Aju lay down just now.

The edge of the sack is dyed with a unique smell of a young girl, with burnt aroma, sweat aroma, and hormones in it.

Smell it, it's refreshing!
Just like the faint fragrance of grass and trees after the summer rain, like rosemary with pearl roses, and the indifference of rain and dew lotus.
It is very pleasant, and there is such a touch of ecstasy.

In this way, the two of them slept on the ground around the fire.

Each has a chaotic mood, which makes people a little confused and a little reluctant
Both of them are in their hearts, hoping that this breath can be preserved forever.

Until the end of time.
