Yan Bukai had been a city guard in Dongwang City for more than ten years, and this place can be said to be his territory. It is not so easy to check what others deliberately concealed on their territory.

Three days have passed, and Yan Bukai and Qi Yuanjie's handover has almost been completed. Yan Bukai may leave Dongwang City at any time, and the time left for Hu You is less and less, but he has not found any clues.

"Don't think so much. As the saying goes, planning is up to people, and success is up to heaven. If you do your best, you can't find it. That's nothing to do." Hongye saw Hu You's brows tense day by day, and couldn't help but persuade him.

Hu You pulled Hongye's hand and gently whirled on his face. The air in this cave was dry, making Hongye's hand slightly thicker than when he was in the imperial capital.

"It's not a god, but we haven't found a way yet. As long as we can find a clue, I can break him.

In Mala Gobi, what exactly can make money in this cave city? This poor look."

Hongye knew that Hu You was not the one who gave up so easily. She just saw that Hu You was busy with military affairs every day and had to squeeze out time to analyze that Yan Bukai was too hard, so she couldn't help but say those words. In fact, when she was talking, she knew that if she was not sure that there was no hope, Hu You would definitely not let go so easily.

Hongye suggested: "If we go out for a walk, maybe we can have some inspiration."

"Okay." Hu You looked at the reports on the desktop. Those were not in a hurry, so he accompanied Hongye out for a walk. Maybe he could really find that nothing could be guaranteed just like Hongye said.

Dongwang City is a city without vitality. Hu You and Hongye walk on the street, and they don’t feel the enthusiasm of being in the town. Not to mention the big city like the imperial capital and Langtian, even if it is better than Linggui before, the popularity here is much worse.

People say that there is hope to be vitality, but can the people here see any hope? The land is barren, and the things planted are harvested well and only enough to be fed and fed, but not good harvests, so you will have to go hungry. Apart from those few acres of thin fields, there is nothing left. You can see through life for a lifetime at a glance, and you have to face bandits and robbers all day long. How much vitality can you have? It doesn’t count to be able to live.

"Oh, there is nothing in the market here. I still want to buy some specialties." Hongye pulled Hu You out of the market with some disappointment.

Seeing that Hongye was not in high spirits, Hu You teased her: "Who said there are no specialties? There are many specialties here, and you don't have any money. You can get as much as you want."

Hongye tilted his head and thought about it, but he didn't expect what Hu You meant, a question of suspicious question: "Is there such a specialty? Why don't I know?"

Hu You said seriously: "Of course there is one. In yellow sand, you see the yellow sand all over the sky, isn't it a specialty here? How much do you think of, you have installed it yourself."

"Hate, bully others." Hongye sings Hu You.

Hu You reacted very quickly and grabbed Hongye's hand in the air, pulled it over his mouth and said, "A gentleman should not move."

Hongye smiled and said, "That's what you mean, I'm a little girl, not only doing things, but also touching my feet."

Hongye said, and kicked Hu You with his feet. Hu You turned around and ran: "Then I will move my feet too, see whose feet run faster."

"Don't run away, let me catch you, and I want you to look good." Hongye chased after him.

"I'm not a woman, so I don't have to look good anymore." Hu You ran while grimacing Hongye.

A man and a woman chased and ran, screamed and laughed, which brought a touch of vitality to this lifeless cave city.

Hu You were running when he suddenly found that Hongye stopped chasing him and stopped. No one was chasing him, and he was still running wildly by himself. Wouldn't he be a fool? Looking at the eyes of those people on the street, can't you look at fools?

"What's wrong, what are you looking at?" Hu You returned to Hongye's side, followed Hongye's gaze, looking for the focus of her gaze.

"I'm looking at it." Hongye stretched out his slender jade fingers and pointed to an alley.

As Hongye looked over his fingers, a group of half-grown children appeared in Hu Youshi. The older one was about twelve or thirteen years old, while the younger one seemed ** years old. One of them looked familiar with his back:

"Hmm? It's Hu Zi. What's he doing there? This kid is quite interesting. Let's go over and have fun with him."

Hu You and Hongye secretly leaned forward without disturbing the children. It turned out that these children were cooking. There must be more than a dozen children in this group, and each child had a division of labor. Some cut vegetables and some raised fires, which made them lively and very lively.

"Hey, Hu Zi, cooking, is there anything delicious? I'll give me one too." Hu You greeted.

Hu Zi seemed to be the head of these children. He was directing everyone to do things. When he heard someone calling him, he turned his head.

"Sister Hongye." Seeing Hongye, Huzi suddenly smiled on his face.

Hu You said unhappy: "You guy who values ​​sex over friends, you only remember the beauty."

Hu Zi smiled and said, "I remember you too, Uncle Hu You."

Hu You pointed at his nose and stared at him, "Mara Gobi, do you call her sister and uncle?"

"Don't teach the kids badly." Hongye saw Hu You being violent again, beat Hu You for a while, rolled his eyes, took a few steps forward, came to Hu Zi's side, touched Hu Zi's head intimately and said, "I have disappeared for several days, where have you been running? I won't come to see my sister."

Hu Zi laughed and said, "I am with my brothers and sisters, I'm a little busy."

Hongye wiped Heihui off Hu Zi's face and said, "Why are you cooking by yourself? The adults at home, won't you make it for you?"

As soon as Hongye said this, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became cold, and the laughter that had been before froze. Several younger children's eyes were red at first.

Hu Zi's face also turned dark and he shook his head and said, "We are all orphans without fathers and mothers. We were adopted by our sisters. Now that my sister doesn't allow us, we can only cook ourselves.

But it doesn’t matter, we can only take good care of ourselves. Besides, my sister should be back soon.”

When he mentioned his sister, Hu Zi smiled again. It can be seen that the sister he mentioned must be very good to him.

"That's right, Sister Chu Zhu is coming back soon. I dreamed of her last night. She brought a lot of delicious food to Niu'er, so many." A little girl shouted.

The little girl's voice was very sweet, and Hu You looked at it along the sound. A **-year-old girl with round face, black hair and big eyes appeared in his sight.

The little girl's clothes were obviously larger than hers. The long hem was used as a skirt, and the sleeves covered her little hands. Seeing her pulling her sleeves from time to time and revealing her little hands, she was so cute.

Hu You only took a look and fell in love with this little girl. He walked over with a smile, squatted down, and said in a gentle voice as much as possible: "Little girl, you are very beautiful."

Niu'er was not afraid of being alive at all. She looked at Hu You in her eyes and nodded heavily and said, "Thank you, everyone who has seen Niu'er says that."

Hu You really liked this little girl the more she looked at her. She was amused by her answer: "Haha. You are so confident. Are you called Niuer?"

Such a cute little girl, who is so cruel to make her an orphan?

Er replied, "Yes, brothers and sisters, call me Niuer."

Hu You asked, "Haha, Niu'er, can you hug you?"

Hu You didn't have any male and female heart at this time. He just looked at this girl as cute as a child. His pink and round face really wanted to pinch her.

Niu'er shook her head and pouted, "No."

Hu You was stunned and asked, "Why?"

Niu'er said, "Because you are a boy, Niu'er is a girl. Girls cannot be hugged by others at will."

Hu You teased Niu'er and said, "Is this not enough to hold it for a short while?"

Niu'er tilted her head and thought for a while, but shook her head and said, "No."

"Can sister hug you?" Hongye saw Hu You being disappointed, and happily ran to Niu'er and asked. This girl looks so cute, and she also wants to hug her.

According to Niu'er's reason just now, girls should not be hugged by boys casually. This Hongye is also a girl, so there should be no problem. However, Niu'er still shook her head unexpectedly and said, "That's not OK."

Hongye really didn't think about it, and she couldn't help but say rushingly: "Sister, either? I'm not a boy, can't I hug you?"

Niu'er shook her head and said, "No, Niu'er still needs to cook."

Hu You kept holding it over and couldn't help it, and laughed and said, "The girl still has to cook so she doesn't have time to let you hug her."

Niu'er, brother helps you cook. After you finish your meal, you are asking your brother to hug you, okay?"

Niu'er thought about it and asked, "Then are you delicious cooking?"

Hu You said confidently: "Absolutely, I promise."

Niu'er's big eyes turned a few times and said, "Then let's talk about it after dinner."

"Okay, look at me." Hu You rolled up his sleeves and began to take over the children's cooking work.

It is said to be cooking, but in fact, these children have no rice. In their half-broken pot, there are some sweet potatoes, some vegetable skins, and some leftover rice. The green ones are actually grassroots.

Hu You saw these things clearly and tears were almost falling. Suddenly, he hated Sister Chu Zhu in the girl's mouth. It was good that she adopted these children. But how could she just leave the children alone and run around by herself? Fortunately, the children were still obsessed with her. Hu You really wanted to catch her and spank her.

There was some food in the ring. Hu You took out all of them while the child was not paying attention and added them to the pot. With Hu You's ingredients, the things in the pot looked better together. At least they could be more passable.

When he wanted to add salt, Hu You realized that the salt in the ring turned into light salt water when he was on the road for the past few days, and he had no time to replenish it.

"Huzi, do you have salt?" Hu You asked casually. As soon as he spoke, Hu You regretted it. The Mandala Empire is an inland country with no coastal areas. Salt is surprisingly expensive in the south of the empire, not to mention the westernmost part of the empire. It is simply not surprisingly expensive than gold. How can children have such a valuable thing?

Hu Zi heard Hu You's words and replied: "The salt that Sister Chu Zhu left for us is gone. I can use this during this period. Just scrape it a little, just like salt."

Hu Zi said, and then he turned up a stone-shaped thing from his clothes and handed it to Hu You.

Hu You took Hu Zi's stone-like thing and his heart thumped. Seeing that no one paid attention to him, he secretly licked it with his tongue, and his eyes lit up."

"Hu Zi, come here." Hu You suppressed the excitement in his heart.

Like other children, Zizheng surrounded Hongye and listened to her story about Journey to the West. He was fascinated by listening, and Hu You's scream made him feel a little unhappy and he was reluctant to come over.

"Hu Zi, where did you get this thing?" Hu You pointed to the stone-shaped thing in his hand and said.

Hu Zi is young and may not know what this stone-like thing is. But Hu You knows that this is also salt. There are four categories of salt, namely sea salt, lake salt, well ore salt and rock salt. Among the first three categories, sea salt is used more, lake salt and well ore salt are relatively less, but there are also some. Just this rock salt, not so many people know about it.

Because this rock salt is very similar to ordinary stones, except for some salt animals, such as goats, they can lick, most people basically don’t have to put stones in their mouths, so many people don’t know that this is also a piece of salt.

The reason why Hu You knew was that once he and his master went to a mountainous area to treat people. The people in that place all consumed this kind of rock salt. He felt strange, so he asked someone to take a piece and play with it. Then he saw it and told him what he knew about rock salt.

Hu Zi was eager to go over and listen to the story, and replied absent-mindedly: "This fell from a robber and I picked it up."

Hu You moved his heart and asked, "Where are you at that time?"

"Dongmen Street, when the robbers entered the city to grab things, everyone hid in the mountains, and I didn't go." Hu Zi ran away after saying that. He was thinking about whether the long-winded Tang Monk would be eaten, so he was in the mood to pay attention to Hu You.

"Dongmen Street, robbers, rock salt." Hu You kept thinking in his heart. He vaguely felt that he should be able to think of something. But those things were circling in his mind and he refused to come out.

Suddenly, a name flashed in Hu You's mind - Yan Bukai. Dongmen Street, robbers, rock salt, Yan Bukai. Connect these four words together, disrupt them and then combine them again. If the robbers and Yan Bukai are added together, the value of rock salt will be substituted. An answer gradually surfaced. Many things that I couldn't figure out before can be figured out.

"Oh, something is messed up."

"Wow, it's our meal."

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
