Chapter 789

Xiao Dongniang turned around and looked at the falling red flowers in the distance, and some of them were the mountains that blocked their thousand years of life.

"You haven't made it. Are the foods getting less and less delicious recently?"

Shen Qingci pursed his red lips. Well, she tasted it, but she didn't think too much. She thought it was Xiao Dongniang who forgot to add salt, but every meal was like this, so it was a bit weird.

"I won't let it go because we have no salt anymore."

Xiao Dongniang sat down, and her eyes turned red again.

"We are all good here, but there is only one point. We don't have salt. Later, we found a salt field at the other end of the mountain. The salt there is enough for us to eat for generations, and the salt can still be regenerated."

"Isn't that good?" Shen Qingci turned around and looked at that place. In fact, he could not see anything. Only among the falling peach blossoms, a mountain shadow could be vaguely seen.

This mountain not only protected them, but also brought them salt.

"Salt is not that easy to take."

Xiao Dongniang wiped her tears again, "If we want to get salt, we must climb the mountain. This may be the punishment of God to punish us Dongling people. Anyone who takes salt will die suddenly."

"The salt they brought back can be eaten for a year, but every year, young and strong men will go up the mountain to get salt. They will have their own lives to exchange for the salt we rely on for survival."

"The salt they exchanged for their lives saved the entire village. The men, women, and young people in the entire village were also due to their sacrifices that there were generations of people from Dongling."

Shen Qingci felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach.

If so, then she would rather not eat such salt.

This salt is exchanged for human life, which is equivalent to the salt she has eaten and the rice she has eaten, but in fact, it is all human flesh and blood.

Xiao Dongniang said a lot, maybe she could say the only outsider like Shen Qingci. The village has been passing through this for generations, and they are all used to it. Every year, two young men have to be sent in.

Maybe it was their father and brother, or maybe they were their children and grandchildren, so they didn’t say it, and they couldn’t say it. Every household is like this, and everyone is like this.

In the past, they would send one person to get salt, but now there are many people who have not come back. In the end, two people will be sent to each time, one will die and one will be injured, and they will eventually bring back enough salt for the whole village to spend a year.

But this is not what salt is eaten, it is clear that what we eat is human blood and human flesh.

Shen Qingci couldn't help but cover his mouth, and it felt as if the things in his stomach were turning upside down.

She had never encountered such a thing before. It was very easy to get salt outside, and it was as cheap as cabbage. There were several large salt fields in the Great Zhou realm, and even Qi Yuan had one in his hand at the beginning. Now it has been re-mined, which is enough for millions of people in the Great Zhou people to eat for thousands of years. Moreover, the salt fields are inexhaustible and inexhaustible.

She had eaten a lot of salt for two lifetimes, and even she sometimes forgot things like salt, but she never thought that someone would lose her life by these small salts.

Shen Qingci helped Xiaodong comb his hair. The boy and girl's hair were the same. However, after she learned to comb her hair for her sister, her fingers became more agile, and she was not as clumsy as Zeng Jin. She even pulled a few heads.
