The ancients got up early and painted eaves to see crows roosting in the morning.
Smoke rises from thousands of cooking stoves in the ancient town. Women put on aprons and light fires to cook. The kitchen is steaming. The city that has been silent all night is noisy again. People eat at sunrise. People who get up early to work need to supplement enough nutrition in the early morning to cope with the endless work.
At the vendors outside the city gate, the breakfast stalls prepared pots of batter and porridge, and the tea shops were busy boiling water.
“Hot porridge, batter, hot soup and steamed buns~”
The cook at the breakfast stall put a rag on her shoulder and greeted customers warmly. From a distance, she saw a girl wearing a straw hat passing by in a dusty state.
"Girl, come and have some breakfast, fresh vegetables, hot soup, and salt~"
Bai Yujun thought for a while. It was very important to eat salt. It seemed that he had not replenished salt for a long time. He had breakfast first, and then bought some salt after eating.
Many wild animals have the habit of searching for salt soil to replenish salt.
Wild animals cannot live without salt. Many large animals will lick salty minerals or rocks when they cannot obtain enough salt through eating. Under normal circumstances, snakes do not need to search for salt. Small herbivores absorb trace amounts by eating grass and drinking water. Salt, snakes also get enough nutrients when eating these small animals.
But since cultivating the demon, a problem has arisen, that is, hunting is intermittently unable to obtain enough salt.
It does not mean that cultivating demons can ignore the nutritional needs of the body. Reiki is not a universal potion, it is just a special kind of energy.
Lack of salt can cause muscle weakness. Bai Yujun also bought salt to eat before.
For example, herders who raise cattle and sheep regularly feed their animals salt.
Hearing that salt was added to breakfast, Bai Yujun sat down happily. It was very good. It saved him from licking the rocks in the salt mine outside the city, and he also saved money to buy salt. Salt was very expensive, although there was a lot of it at the beach, but there was nothing he could do about it. A wealthy family monopolizes the salt industry to make huge profits.
"Have a bowl of buns."
"Okay~"
The cook quickly filled a bowl of fufu, which is actually noodle soup. The noodles are cooked and sprinkled with some spices and vegetables. Of course, don't expect too much salt. The price is too expensive. It's a little salty, so thank God.
I took a sip while it was hot and felt it wasn't too salty. I shook my head, picked up the bowl of rice and shoveled it into my mouth.
There is not much salt, the content is very small. After the meal, I have to buy some salt to replenish my body. With a body of thirty meters long, I still have to eat three to five kilograms.
After breakfast, I went into the city carrying a horizontal knife and went straight to the salt shop.
I bought five kilograms of large grains of coarse salt, heated and melted it with a little magic, and then fixed it into a big lump. I found a sunny wall to rest on, and sat on a small bench to hug the big lump of salt and lick it.
very happy……
Just like cats and dogs adding food to the food bowl, licking salt makes a rustling sound.
"rustle……"
Passers-by looked at it sideways and called it showing off their wealth. Poor people simply couldn't buy such a big piece of salt. Having enough salt to eat is every poor person's lifelong dream.
But the behavior of holding the salt lump and licking it is still a bit weird.
The saliva melts the salt cubes, and the thick salt is distributed into the abdomen. It quickly regulates the body and makes the huge body more powerful. Balanced nutrition enhances the body, and the more you eat, the happier you feel.
The sun is warm and comfortable on the body, relieving the moisture caused by the continuous cloudy days.
At some point, a strong man appeared in front of him. He was wearing coarse linen clothes and watched Bai Yujun swallow his saliva. The saliva even dripped down the stubble on his chin and onto his clothes.
Bai Yujun raised his head and took out a small stool and placed it next to him.
"Shasha...sit...shasha..."
The muscular man sat down, drooling more and more, staring directly at the large piece of salt in Bai Yujun's hand. The strong smell of salt made him restless.
"You want to eat this?" Bai Yujun pointed at the salt block.
The strong man nodded fiercely.
The snake looked at the big lump of salt in his hand in pain and then looked at the pitiful strong man. He reluctantly broke off the lump of salt in his fist and handed it to the strong man. The strong man was delighted, holding the salt block in his hand and licking it happily.
"Shashasha..."
Two figures, one large and one small, licked salt blocks fiercely on the street. The rustling sound made passers-by and shop owners doubt their lives. Everyone was short of salt, but they had never seen it eaten in such a way.
The strong man is a bull demon who has just transformed. Perhaps he has learned how to speak and behave because he has been with humans all year round.
"If you have a story, I have salt. Tell me about your experience and treat it as salt."
The bull demon licked and narrated, and as it narrated, Bai Yujun learned its story, a life completely different from that of a hundred thousand mountain monsters. It was a buffalo, and plowing the fields was all it had.
Many years ago, the bull demon was just an ordinary buffalo. It plowed the fields and cultivated the fields. It accidentally absorbed the sunlight and moonlight to open up its spiritual wisdom, but it did not choose to leave. It was very relaxed with its old partner. The old farmer was very kind to it and tickled it. I drive away mosquitoes for it and always feed it the best and tenderest fodder for fear that it will not be full.
What makes the bull demon feel happiest is that the old man occasionally avoids grandma and secretly feeds it salt. The salt tastes very fragrant and makes the body strong after eating it.
Countless sunsets, when the moon rises and the sun sets, the old man carries the grass on his shoulders and leads the cow demon on the ridge of the field. The rice flowers are fragrant, the frogs chirp and the insects chirp. After finishing the farm work, they go home together and return to the comfortable cowshed.
It likes to plow the fields, and likes the old man to sit next to him and smoke a hookah during breaks in the work. The smell of the smoke can drive away flies.
It is used to the old man's nagging, has learned the human language, and understands the old man's anger about paying rent in autumn and the anxiety that his son cannot afford a wife. There is not much it can do, except plow a few more pieces of land every day to make the old man happy.
The old man likes to put a small amount of expensive salt in the palm of his hand and let the cattle lick it, and he will carefully pick up the fallen salt grains.
The life was very peaceful, and the bull demon liked this kind of life.
However, fate is unpredictable and tranquility does not exist.
In autumn, the old man was beaten to death by the squire and the tax collector because he refused to pay more than the previous year's tax. The old man who once liked to feed him salt and carefully cut grass was beaten into a human shape, and his rough hands full of calluses remained dead before he died. He clings to the food and refuses to let go, and his dry white hair cannot cover his old eyes that stare into death.
The bull demon became angry, no matter who the opponent was, he lowered his head and swung violently, impaling the tax collectors with his horns and killing the squire!
Finally, I came to the old man and tried to wake him up, but the old man was dead.
Grandma cried and told the cow demon to run away as far as possible and never come back. The cow demon obeyed grandma and kept running for three days and three nights.
It knows that it can never go back...
After listening to the story, Bai Yujun looked at the salt block in his hand blankly, then broke another piece into pieces and handed it to Lao Niu.
"After eating, don't go into the city again. There are too many people in the city. Go find a place to live quietly in a remote mountainous area and don't come back again."
Hearing this, the old bull demon holding the salt and licking it paused.
"Okay, I don't like going into the city either, thank you for the salt."
"You're welcome."
The two figures, one large and one small, continued to lick the salt blocks silently, making a constant rustling sound.
After eating the salt, Lao Niu left, carrying a bag of large coarse salt that Bai Yujun gave him.
We are all monsters. We don’t need to meet to fight each other. Life is not easy. If you have the strength to fight, you might as well set up a stall to make money. I want to talk about "The New White Snake Asks the Immortal" with more like-minded people," and talk about favorite books with more book friends
