Xiao Ruo was startled, the man next to her had already covered her nose and mouth, slowly sinking into the sea, without making the slightest sound.
Xiao Ruo thought for a moment and entered the space, only then did the man release his hand from her mouth.
"Are you alright?" Fu Hanwen looked at her with concern.
"I'm fine." Xiao Ruo shook her head, somewhat shaken: "We didn't make any noise just now, how did they discover us?"
Fu Hanwen coldly tugged at his lips, "They may not have truly discovered us, but doing something that could cost them their heads certainly requires extreme caution."
"What are they doing?" Xiao Ruo asked the question she had wanted to ask earlier.
"Boiling salt." Fu Hanwen replied with words as startling as a thunderbolt.
"Boiling salt?"
Xiao Ruo knew boiling salt was a method of producing salt. Although they already knew that some people in "Yingshi City" were selling private salt, she hadn't imagined that someone would make salt at sea.
