The entire story teaching material is filled with pinyin and Chinese characters. If you don’t study, you won’t be able to understand the Chinese characters, let alone read the rest of the story.

Therefore, they will also study other courses seriously, just to learn pinyin earlier and recognize more words.

The people of the four cities are studying hard, and Mu Qing is also introducing talents.

Anping's reputation gradually spread beyond the four cities. As more and more merchants came to Anping, more and more people migrated to the four cities.

War broke out again between Beiyang and Nanwan, and many people were affected by the war and their families were destroyed.

"These days are getting longer and longer. When will they end?"

In a county town in Nanwan that had just been engulfed by war, a man squatted on the ground while the woman beside him quietly tied her child to her body in a cloth bag.

The woman was very skilled and soon had the baby firmly pressed against her back so she could continue working with the child.

The woman's hands were unusually rough, and upon closer inspection they looked like old tree bark, with calluses covering several joints of her fingers.

The woman dressed like a rural woman is named Luo Caiyue.

Luo Caiyue followed the man Zhang Jinming silently with her child.

After experiencing the war, their homes were destroyed. Not to mention normal transactions, even the food that Zhang Jinming had stored disappeared overnight.

Zhang Jinming had hated and resented before, but life had to go on.

The couple used to farm in the village, and by chance their land was favored by a nobleman.

After selling the fields for some money, they went to the county and opened a snack stand to make a living.

Unexpectedly, Beiyang’s army would attack us.

Nanwan was already weak, and the first place that Beiyang broke through when attacking Nanwan was Suo County where the couple lived.

The people of Suo County were in a panic, so the snack stand could no longer continue to operate and had to close. Now the couple had no food again and no place to buy food.

Even if they had money, they couldn't buy much expensive grain.

In order to survive, Zhang Jinming had to go to the mountains to find food or go hunting and then go to the county to barter.

Luo Caiyue knew different kinds of mushrooms, and with these mushrooms and the food that Zhang Jinming got from bartering, the couple's life was not hard but they were not starving to death.

As soon as Zhang Jinming entered the mountains that day, he found that many people were already in the forest. When the two arrived, someone had even taken the prey from the trap set by Zhang Jinming.

Zhang Jinming was furious:

"What are you doing?"

These people tied up the hare in the trap and put it in the cage behind them, saying contemptuously:

"What are you doing? Can't you see we are catching hares?"

"Hare? Haha, don't you know whose hare this is?"

"Whoever sees it owns it. It doesn't matter who else it belongs to. We saw it first, so the hare belongs to us."

The men spoke in a frivolous tone and burst into laughter:

"Why don't you want to compete with us?"

"Haha, Boss, this kid brought a young girl with him and wanted to snatch her from us. It's so funny."

Those men continued to take prey out of the trap, and Zhang Jinming was so angry that his eyes were bloodshot.

Luo Caiyun had a blank expression on her face. She glanced at those people. They all had axes behind them and were obviously prepared. As for them, she herself did not know any martial arts and they had a child with them.

Luo Caiyun pinched the corner of Zhang Jinming's clothes, she leaned behind him and stopped Zhang Jinming from taking a step forward.

Zhang Jinming wanted to argue further, but was stopped by Luo Caiyue's action.

When those people saw Zhang Jinming stopped talking, they all laughed and said:

"If we say it's ours, then it's ours. Come on, you wimp, hahahaha."

Zhang Jinming's back was pinched by Luo Caiyue all the time. He seemed to realize that Luo Caiyue had something to say to him, so he could only take Luo Caiyue away.

When they arrived at another trap, there were clear signs of prey inside.

But at this moment, all the prey that were supposed to stay in the pit disappeared, and Zhang Jinming finally couldn't stand it anymore:

"Why do you want us to leave? That was clearly a trap I set!"

Luo Caiyue endured Zhang Jinming's anger, and after a while she opened her hands and gestured.

Luo Caiyue was born deaf and dumb. When she opened her mouth to speak, she could not produce normal syllables and could only babble. When she realized that she was different from ordinary people, she began to use some simple gestures to communicate with others.

Luo Caiyue looked at Zhang Jinming and opened and closed her hands:

They have knives and outnumber us, so we can't defeat them.

Zhang Jinming then understood what Luo Caiyue meant. He suppressed his impulse for a long time before he thought of rushing forward.

Now seeing Luo Caiyue's gesture, he was suddenly frightened awake.

He is a man with a wife and children. There is no point in reasoning with a group of thugs who are willing to sacrifice their lives for their lives. He should stay as far away from them as possible.

Zhang Jinming took Luo Caiyue back to the county town with the only wild rabbit they caught.

Few people come to Suo County, but today, as soon as Zhang Jinming and Luo Caiyue entered the city, they saw a traveling merchant.

There were several big men beside him, each carrying a knife and a long pole, and behind him were several carts full of goods.

Min County was affected by the war and most people rarely went out.

The war has just stopped for a few days. Beiyang sometimes attacks the city and sometimes retreats. If nothing unexpected happens, Beiyang may attack again at the end of this month or next month.

But who can say for sure?

The couple returned to Suo County exhausted.

The merchants who came to Suo County have already displayed their goods:

"Don't miss it if you pass by. Come and have a look. There are top-quality iron knives and cheap snowflake salt..."

After a while, the traveling merchant You Yi started shouting.

You Yi came from Anping, so naturally he brought goods from Anping.

When Luo Caiyue heard that there was salt, her eyes lit up and she opened her hands: There is salt, buy it.

"Okay, we are in need of salt. The salt shop in the county has gone bankrupt. This merchant has arrived just in time."

Luo Caiyue and Zhang Jinming squeezed into the crowd. Many people were already queuing up to buy salt.

The two watched as the white salt was opened. Zhang Jinming looked at the quality of the salt and sighed silently:

"This salt is like snowflakes. We can't afford it."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone retorted:

"You can't afford ten cents a pound?"

"Ten cents?"

Zhang Jinming repeated it, and the man who was talking to him did not get angry. Instead, he held out a bag of salt and showed it to Zhang Jinming:

"I just bought it. The iron knife is expensive. I can't afford it. But I can still afford the salt at ten cents a pound."

After hearing this, Zhang Jinming and Luo Caiyue lined up at the back of the line.

The line of people coming to buy salt was very long, and You Yi knew at a glance that there were still quite a few people in Suo County.

While selling salt, he talked with the people of Nanwan who were buying salt.

Guerrilla almost answered every question.

No matter what these people asked, he could talk about it.

In a short while, he got a lot of information from the people.
