Aunt Li only felt that the questions Xi Yao asked were piercing their hearts and lungs, and she was very helpless.

"The road is not easy to walk, and you can't go out to the sea when it's cold. When it's hot, the fish spoils quickly and there's no time to send it out. In the past, we couldn't even pickle fish because we couldn't afford salt!"

As Xi Yao listened, he felt as if the fishing village had been abandoned, and he couldn't get out anyway.

"Isn't there some salt now?"

Destiny can be changed.

“Not everyone likes to eat fish!”

Xi Yao choked and thought that was all nonsense!

The three of them walked forward while chatting, which was a good way to pass the time.

At the intersection heading to the small village, a group of people on horseback met...

When Xi Yao saw the aura of the horseman, he subconsciously became wary.

"Are you from here?" The man on horseback stopped them and asked condescendingly.

Aunt Li and his wife were so frightened that their legs were weak. Xi Yao also pretended to be scared and said tremblingly: "Yes!"

"Are there any strangers here?"

"No...no!" Xi Yao said timidly.

"What are you going to do?" Seeing them holding poles and other things, a scholar-looking person behind them asked.

"I'll go to my parents' house to pick wheat straw!" Aunt Li said subconsciously.

Xi Yao's heart skipped a beat and he secretly clenched his fists.

"What are you doing picking wheat straw?" they continued to ask.

"We are from a fishing village and cannot grow our own crops, but there is no wheat straw on the bed. When the sea breeze blows, it becomes wet and uncomfortable, so we go to my grandma's house to ask for wheat straw. This has been the case in previous years!"

He asked Aunt Li's daughter and said cautiously.

Aunt Li and his wife lowered their heads out of fear, so others did not see the surprise in their eyes.

"Let's go look over there." Seeing that he couldn't find any clues, he immediately turned around and left, making Xi Yao breathe a sigh of relief...

"Auntie," Xi Yao said immediately after seeing it, "I won't go with you if I have something to do. You pick up the wheat straw and go back to the village. Then tell Lao Yu that I'm going to the military camp and will be back later!"

"Ah, are you alone?" Aunt Li asked worriedly.

Even if they live in a fishing village, they are not naive people.

Xi Yao followed, just heading for the wheat stalks, without even mentioning that he was going to the military camp.

The change of focus now must be because of the group of people just now.

She didn't want those people to break up the lively excitement of the fishing village, but those people were riding horses and looked so imposing that they were not easy to mess with.

"It's okay, I know the way!" she said.

"Um..." Aunt Li's man was silent along the way, and suddenly said: "There are bullock carts coming into the city at the intersection over there. They pass by the military camp. Tell them, they will ask for money!"

"I have it with me," Xi Yao smiled gratefully at the person, then waved goodbye to the person.

Aunt Li looked at her neatly leaving figure and said with some worry: "Don't worry!"

It is not easy for people in the village to have an income. During this period, everyone is happier than during the New Year. It doesn't matter even if it is a little tiring and miserable, as long as it can make money.

Ah Yao is doing well. She distributes money to everyone every day and never makes things difficult or defaults on payment.

"Let's hurry up!" her man urged.

The two quickened their pace...

Xi Yao walked carelessly, thinking about today's events in his heart.

Where did this person come from?
