Chapter 2945: Alarming the Snake

All the salt that Inspector Luo knows is boiled. He also went to the old salt factory to see boiled salt. Boiling salt is already shocking enough, but compared with sun-dried salt, the most spectacular thing about boiling salt is the scene when it is boiled.

When it comes to producing salt, the most exciting thing is shoveling salt from the salt fields.

Pushing the shovel forward, layer after layer of white crystals slowly gathered together. Pushing the wooden shovel to the end, the white salt could cover the wooden shovel. Only once, he was shocked and speechless.

From then on, he identified Magistrate Bai in his heart.

Just relying on County Magistrate Bai's skills, the Song family is simply not satisfied.

As long as the salt field is guarded, no one should be afraid of ghosts and monsters in Beihai County, okay?

Inspector Luo was quite confident at first. After all, there was only one way in and out of the area. If he guarded the checkpoints and paid attention to inspections along the way, everything would be fine.

Who knew people could sneak in?

He summoned a soldier and ordered: "Take two men and go on horseback to inspect the checkpoints on the road. Check where people sneak in from and fill the gap for me."

"yes!"

Inspector Song took a group of people into the mountain, while Zhou Liwei took the remaining people to patrol near the salt field, and also summoned people from Xiaowa Village to guard the salt field.

As soon as the villagers in Xiaowa Village heard that someone had sneaked into the mountains, they immediately stopped cooking or eating. They picked up harpoons and wooden sticks and headed to the salt field.

Although the new salt farm had only been opened not long ago, they had already received their wages, but the cold copper coins made their hearts feel hot.

Moreover, Bai Shan selects people regardless of gender, as long as they are honest and willing to work, so there are many people working in the new salt field in the village.

If someone comes to do damage at this time, it will be equivalent to cutting off their financial path.

Destroying people's wealth is like killing their parents, they will never allow it.

Zhou Liwei stood on the top of the mountain and looked down. The sky was getting dark. They stood here and looked down. Not to mention the salt fields, they could not even see the sea. It was dark everywhere and there was no light at all.

The soldier asked: "Master Zhou, how can we find this?"

Zhou Liwei thought for a while and then said: "Light the torch, and everyone will follow closely. After we finish walking this side of the mountain, we can walk further in."

The soldier was surprised, "Doesn't that let the people hiding know that we have discovered them?"

"Just let them find out," Zhou Liwei said, "to scare the snake away. We know where the snake comes from. It's best if we can catch it. It doesn't matter if we can't. The most important thing is to guard the salt field, so we have to scare them away.

"

Zhou Liwei felt that there was no need to confront the Song family head-on at this time. That was his uncle's job. He just had to guard the salt fields.

My uncle also said when he left that he only needed to take good care of the salt fields.

Zhou Liwei built up his mind and became more determined. He called to everyone: "Light the torches and ask the villagers to light them too. The road in the mountains is not easy to walk. Don't let the thieves catch you. In the end, you will be able to survive by yourself."

He said: "You don't have to be quiet. As long as you don't talk about the salt farm, you can just shout loudly about other things. You can just shout to catch the thief."

As soon as everyone heard this, they immediately lit their torches and started to move in around the mountain side of the salt field. Everyone was normal at first, just yelling at the thieves, and then someone started mentioning the fire two years ago.

, someone loudly cursed the person who set fire to the mountain last time to have a son without an asshole, and he would have to be a fisherman without a boat for generations to come...

Zhou Liwei:...This curse is really unique.

However, he was also moved in his heart and shouted loudly: "Be careful, be careful. Don't let them hide in the grass and hide away. Look also in the trees. Don't just look at your feet and not your heads."

Then he shouted: "Be careful with the torch in your hand, don't set the forest on fire."

"Don't worry, it just rained."

"Then be careful too!"

"Master Zhou, I looked up and there was no one there."

"Then let's walk further inside. Anyway, pay more attention. Look up, down, left, right, and front."

The sound spread far away, and several people hiding in the trees not far away said:...

Before anyone arrived, they quietly slipped down the tree and went back to report to the large team in the dark. However, because Zhou Liwei and others lit torches to look for them, they were afraid that the light would reveal their position, so they put out the fire.

In the dark... they were lost.

After walking for a long distance, they felt they should have reached the place, but no one answered them despite the cooing of birds. A few people couldn't help but panic, so they lowered their voices and said, "Brother Zhu,

Brother Zhu, are you there?"

Of course Brother Zhu is not here anymore, he is feeding mosquitoes on the other side.

He resisted the urge to slap his neck. Seeing that the fire was still approaching them, he couldn't help lowering his voice and cursed: "Where have those lazy fellows from the Third Brother gone? Let them quietly go to the front to inquire. They

How did you recruit people?"

"The third child didn't bring it, right?" The second child expressed doubt, "So many people have come here, have we been discovered long ago?"

"Impossible, we didn't make any noise at all before."

As soon as they finished speaking, they faintly heard movement on the other side. They couldn't help turning their heads to look, and saw that there were also torches on their side and behind them, and the torch seemed to be heading towards them.

Brother Zhu's expression changed, wouldn't he be surrounded if he stayed here any longer?

He immediately stood up and lowered his voice and said, "Let's leave quickly."

"Where to go?"

Brother Zhu: "You can go wherever you want, but you won't be caught by them anyway. Let's avoid them first, and then take a look when we are far away."

"What about the third child and the others?"

"Do you think there are any traces of them here?" Brother Zhu suspected that they had run away long ago, "Let's leave first and look for them later."

Seeing the torches on both sides getting closer and closer, the group could no longer bear it and quietly slipped away in the other direction.

Inspector Luo and Zhou Liwei met in the mountains. Inspector Luo asked in disbelief: "Why are you here? Didn't I ask you to guard the salt field?"

"Don't worry, we just followed the mountains on the other side of the salt field to find them bit by bit. If they were really here, they would probably be scared away. Why, you didn't meet anyone when you came from that way?"

"No."

Zhou Liwei frowned, "Strange, where did that person go?"

Inspector Luo was suspicious, "Did you really see someone?"

Zhou Liwei wished he could go back in time and let Inspector Luo take a look in person. He raised his hand and said: "Brother, I swear, I really saw someone, otherwise why would I bother with this?"

Yes, Inspector Luo touched his forehead and couldn't help but look in another direction.

Zhou Liwei also took a look, and then said: "It's impossible, I've been there, and beyond there is the sea. There are cliffs. What are you going to do there? Jump into the sea?"

Because he wanted to build a salt field, he not only needed to find a suitable place to develop the salt field, but also had to protect the safety of the salt field, so Zhou Liwei walked wherever he could.

The mountain in that direction is not easy to walk on. Although the woods become sparser as you go there, it is easy to knock down the high and low ones. There is a cliff at the end and the sea below. He has seen that although there are trees along the cliff.

The grass looks green, but it is still very dangerous, especially at night. If you accidentally step on it, you will fall off.

If you go down, it may be a lifetime.
