Xiao Wangzhuang is affiliated to Nanyang Prefecture, located in the border of Fangcheng Mountain in the northeast of Nanyang Prefecture. To the north is Ye County, to the south is Yuzhou, and to the south is Nanyang. It should be under the jurisdiction of Yuzhou. However, in this world, in Henan, the government has almost completely lost control of the villages and towns under its rule. I am afraid no one remembers the mountains like Xiao Wangzhuang.

Fangcheng Mountain stretches for dozens of miles, traveling east and west, just between Ye County and Yuzhou, and Xiaowangzhuang is located at the Shandong end of Fangcheng Mountain.

The world is not good, it is both natural disasters and man-made disasters. Even big cities like Luoyang have been captured by thieves, which shows how corrupt Henan is. The people of Xiaowangzhuang thought they were in remote locations and could avoid man-made disasters, but they did not expect to suffer a catastrophe.

Ying Yi and more than ten people who survived by chance abandoned the ruins of Xiaowangzhuang, entered Fangcheng Mountain, and settled in the valley. He asked the others to clean up the cave for temporary residence, so he took Erniu out to the other end of the valley, walked about three or four miles along a dry mountain stream, and came to a slanted cliff.

This slanted cliff is only twenty or thirty meters long and more than ten meters high, on one side of the mountain stream. From a distance, he looked like a piece of blue and gray, bare. When he walked closer, Ying Yi cut off a stone with a knife like cutting tofu, revealing the color of the blue and yellow inside.

"Is this a salt cliff?"

Erniu picked up some powder and put it in his mouth to taste it. He spitted a few times and was salty and astringent, and shouted in surprise: "It's really salt!"

The screams suddenly rose, and a few deer were shocked from the other side of the Salt Cliff and ran away.

"Of course it's salt." Ying Yi glanced at it, didn't care about the deer, and said with a support from Park Knife: "This salt cliff is only a small part of the protruding surface. If it is mined, I don't know how much green salt can be produced. When I discovered it earlier, I thought about making profits for Xiao Wangzhuang, but I was afraid of being guilty of possessing a treasure and being coveted by others, so I suppressed it."

As he said that, Ying Yi pointed to the other side: "There is a salt pool behind that big stone. Scoop out the water inside and expose it to the sun to dry out the fine salt. The wild animals in the mountains often come here to eat salt. Although I drove away many wild animals, it is not safe here. Be careful when taking salt in the future."

Erniu was always in surprise. After hearing Ying Yi's words, although he didn't quite understand how to bear a treasure, he vaguely felt that if Xiao Wangzhuang could really produce salt in large quantities, it would be a good thing.

The two walked around the Yan Cliff and looked back and forth. Erniu said, "The Yan Pond is almost dry. If God doesn't rain again, it will be done in half a month."

Ying Yi nodded, picked up a piece of salt stone, and the two walked back, saying as they walked, "It doesn't matter if the salt pond is dry. The salt cliff is soft and the wooden stick can be easily knocked off. Take it back and crush it, melt it in the water, filter it a few times with a linen, and then dry the water. After I go back, I will demonstrate the steps and follow it later."

When the two returned to the valley, Wang Sisao and the others had already cleaned up the cave and could barely live in it. After all, the cave was cold. Fortunately, the thieves searched the village and only searched for food and goods, such as clothes and quilts, and they looked down on them. They brought some when they entered the mountain.

Wang Sisan said, "I have to take a fewer people. I have to go back to the village when I have time."

"Don't be anxious for the time being, it's too messy outside." Ying Yi said: "I'll talk about it when I come back next time."

Hearing Ying Yi's words, the fourth sister-in-law and Erniu were both stunned.

"Brother Ying is going out?"

Ying Yi nodded: "I feel uneasy if I don't kill a tiger. Sun Xiucai is still waiting for me in Ye County."

Ying Yi told everyone about Sun Xiucai yesterday. But he didn't expect Ying Yi to be so anxious. He was about to leave before he could settle down. For a moment, Erniu and others felt a little uneasy.

I just experienced a disaster and was in a panic. It was Ying Yi who gave them a sense of security, but they were leaving at this time.

Ying Yi put the Pu sword on the ground and said, "I will keep the knife and grind it for self-defense. This is the deep mountains and forests. I think the thieves don't have the ability to find it here. I don't know when I will be able to come back when I go, but it's only a few months before. The thieves are besieging Kaifeng. The beast is the nephew of the thieves, with a name and surname, and will not run away. When I kill him, take the heads of others and pay tribute to the villagers."

Erniu and others were silent after hearing this.

Although the disaster has passed a few days ago and everyone deliberately did not think about it, the hatred in their hearts cannot be concealed. At this time, they gritted their teeth.

Ying Yi said: "Don't think too much. I have sworn that if you kill the beast, it will definitely come true."

Afterwards, Ying Yi also taught him how to filter salt. It was not complicated. You could know what to do after reading it. It was just that I hadn’t done it before, and many people didn’t know how salt came about. Since I knew it, it was simple.

"Everyone lives here with peace of mind. It's still April, so there are more food to grow. There are wild animals in the mountains. You big men should be careful not to escape from the thief's sword but be eaten by wild animals."

Ying Yi gave a reminder and prepared to leave.

Erniu said: "Brother Ying, you should bring Park Knife with you. You can fight with a tiger and take it with you to defend yourself."

Ying Yi shook his head: "Not bad for this one."

The fourth sister-in-law said, "Brother Ying, I think you are alone, and I am afraid you can't be a clone in many things. Sun Xiucai is also a four-body person. It's better to let Erniu join you to have a fight."

Others also advised each other.

When Erniu heard this, he suddenly felt enlightened: "Yes, yes, Brother Ying, let me go with you. I want to kill the thief to take revenge!"

In the end, Ying Yi did not refuse, brought some dry food, left the valley with Erniu, and went down the mountain.

After leaving Fangcheng Mountain, the sky was getting darker. When Ying Yi arrived at Xiaowangzhuang, he couldn't help but feel a little glad when he saw the fresh horse's hoof prints.

Erniu was also shocked and said, "So many horse hoof prints are more than last time."

Ying Yi looked around for a while and said, "I'm afraid someone has come here shortly after we entered the mountain. It seems that a tiger is not a fool, he is quite flexible in his mind. He thought of Xiao Wangzhuang so quickly."

"Is it a tiger?" Erniu said in surprise.

"It must be him. Not him. Who is here in this corner?" Ying Yi said: "I will rest in the village tonight and go to Ye County early tomorrow morning. If I can rush in front of a tiger, I will find an opportunity to kill him."

"Yes!" Erniu nodded fiercely.

The next morning, just as the sky was dawn, the two of them left.
