Because they had to wait for Xue qianxun's men to arrive, they did not continue to head north. They looked for a place with water near the Salt Lake and set up tents.
When Xue Qianyu's men arrived, Xue Qianyu taught them how to immediately extract fine salt from the salt stones. Once they were extracted, they would send it back overnight. Then, he would send people to hunt and let the soldiers have a good meal the next morning.
With this arrangement, it didn't take long for the sky to turn dark.
Just like yesterday, they made a fire and cooked some food, chatting as they ate.
Lu Zheng and Meng Meng hunted some wild animals in the mountains. Gu Nian made a beggar's chicken, a roasted rabbit, two wild boar legs, and some corn.
Gu Xin put on two corn cobs and focused on roasting them by the fire.
She thought about how they would have to go back tomorrow morning and felt a little sad.
