This conversation between Xiao Yi and Shi Anan seemed to break the ice between them, and they returned to their previous state where they could talk about anything.

After Shi Anan proved that she could ride a horse, Xiao Yi no longer stopped her from taking people to the salt well on horseback. He just silently installed a hidden arrow on her other hand. Shi Anan looked at Xiao Yi and felt warm in her heart, because she knew he was worried about her.

But this little old-fashioned guy always says irritating things. Look, I treated him coldly these past two days, but now he's doing fine again. Shi Anan applauded her own strategy.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day when Shi Anan was going to set off. She selected six people from the security team to accompany her to Yanjing. These six people were the best in martial arts and riding skills except Mu Shan. Her old acquaintance Yan Fei was also among them.

On the day of departure, everyone in the team came to see Shi Anan off. Although they knew they couldn't stop Shi Anan from leaving, they still couldn't help but worry.

After giving all the necessary instructions, Shi Anan had nothing to say when she was about to leave. She looked at everyone and smiled, "Okay, just send them here. I'm only going to make salt. It's not like I won't be back."

Fu Xin sniffed: "Miss, you just came back not long ago and you are going out again, and you don't take me with you. You always took me with you wherever you went before."

Shi Anan laughed, looked at Fuxin and said, "Things are different now. In the past, the world was stable and it was fine to take you with me. But now it's not possible. It's more meaningful for you to stay in Guangming Village than to go out with me. Our meat has to be provided by Little Lucky Star!"

Fu Xin also knew that she couldn't go out with Shi Anan, but she had never been separated from Shi Anan since she was a child, and these few times Shi Anan went out without her, she was just a little sad, feeling that she was useless and could not help the young lady.

At this time, Ruyi walked forward holding two big watermelons, which stood out against her small body. Yan Fei, who was standing behind Shi Anan, took a quick step forward and took the watermelon from Ruyi's hand.

Ruyi was stunned for two seconds, then she responded and smiled at Yan Fei, then said to Shi Anan: "Miss, you can take these two watermelons with you on the way."

Shi Anan raised her eyebrows and looked at Ruyi, then looked at Yan Fei, and smiled meaningfully: "Okay, then Yan Fei, you must take the watermelon that Ruyi gave you."

Yan Fei realized what he had done. His face flushed red and he stammered, "Yes, yes."

Ruyi lowered her head in confusion and shyness, and the air suddenly became quiet for a few seconds.

Mu Shan also stepped forward and interrupted the awkward atmosphere: "Miss, why don't you take this solar cooling fan with you to avoid being too hot on the road."

He held up the solar cooling fan and handed it to Shi Anan.

Shi Anan didn't take it, but said in surprise: "Don't you treasure this thing the most? What will happen to the livestock if I take it away?"

Mu Shan scratched his head, a little tangled but finally said firmly: "Miss, you are more important, and you are going out for our village. I will put more ice cubes in them and water them to cool them down. It should be fine if they are not used for a while."

Shi Anan found his tangled look a little funny: "Come on, you should put the cooling fan back. If I get hot, can I let myself down? Don't forget who gave you this cooling fan. I can give you the first one, so I can naturally find a way to get a second one."

She was not lying. Although she couldn't get a cooling fan, she could still rent a solar air conditioner as long as she had silver coins. Then she could build a shed and put an air conditioner in the place where she boiled salt. Even if she was outdoors, it wouldn't be so unbearable.

Mu Shan was stunned after hearing this. It seemed that what the lady said made some sense.

While he was stunned and hadn't reacted, Shi Anan prepared to leave as soon as possible, otherwise she didn't know what these people would stuff into her. She was going there to cook salt, not to have an outing.

"Everyone go back, we're setting off now!" Shi Anan jumped on the horse in a casual manner, and finally turned around and said. When he turned back, he looked at Xiao Yi, who had been silent in the crowd, and smiled brightly at him.

Then she didn't hesitate any more and rode away on her horse. Yan Fei and the other six members of the security team also quickly climbed over the door and chased after her.

Only the reluctant and expectant gazes of a group of people were left behind, watching their figures go away until they could no longer be seen.

After Shi Anan left, life in Guangming Village did not change much. The only person who might have changed the most was Xiao Yi. Before Shi Anan was here, she could occasionally make him laugh and he seemed quite popular. But now Xiao Yi has a cold face and is hard to approach.

He was still concentrating on making things as usual, but now even Xiao Yuan didn't dare to act naughty and get in his way. Everyone could see that he was not in a very good mood.

Ruan had obviously adapted well to his eccentric temper. He was like this when he was in the Duke's Mansion. When he was unhappy, he would stay in his room all day and never smile at anyone who came. Otherwise, how would the news of the Duke of Wei's son's eccentric temper spread?

After arriving at Guangming Village, she still felt strange that Xiao Yi had changed a lot. Not only did he talk more, he also loved to laugh, and he would even occasionally give lectures at An An's request. You know, he used to hate crowded places the most.

Ruan thought that the events of this period had stimulated his growth, and she was somewhat relieved about it, but now she saw him being back to his old ways.

It seems that what made him change was not the things, but the people. Ruan smiled knowingly. Let the two children decide for themselves what will happen to them in the future.

Ruan was not worried, but people who didn't know the situation were quite worried, such as Liu, who came up to ask, "Is Yi'er okay? Why does he look unhappy?"

Ruan spread her hands indifferently: "He has had this strange temper since he was a child. Maybe he will be fine after An An comes back. An An is the first person I have seen who can control him."

Liu covered her mouth and laughed, "An Jie'er is a girl who doesn't know what to say. Only Yi'er is sensible and gives in to her."

Ruan secretly helped Xiao Yi to gain the favor of his future mother-in-law, and she kept her merits and fame to herself. My son, I can only help you so far.

Let’s not talk about Guangming Village for now. After five days of trekking, Shi Anan and others finally arrived outside the cave that led to the salt well.

Because this time they were traveling by horseback, and Shi Anan also knew the road conditions, they spent less time on the road.

The journey was quite smooth. Although the temperature was still very high, the trees blocked the scorching sun, and An'an occasionally produced ice cubes as if by magic, and buffed food that increased physical strength and energy, making it not so difficult for everyone and the horses.

But once they got out of the cave, they could no longer ride horses. After all, the cave was too big for horses to fit through.

Fortunately, these horses have been trained and will not run around even if no one is watching. After leaving the horses outside the cave, Shi Anan and a few others went into the cave corridor.
