My Koi Sister is Three and a Half Years Old

Chapter 44 The locust plague is coming

Late at night, everything is silent.

Only the lights around Wangjia Village were brightly lit, as bright as day.

The children stayed up all night, holding torches in their hands and walking through the rice fields.

Holding a torch high in one hand and herbal tea in the other. Give a bowl to anyone in need.

"Where does this herbal tea come from? Taking a sip is like taking a panacea. I was so tired that I couldn't even open my eyelids. After a night, I feel refreshed and have strength all over my body." The village chief's mouth was chapped with thirst. , at this moment, when I drink a bowl, the coolness reaches the sky.

"Aunt Lin cooked it. After five or six pots, you can help yourself if you need it." Hu Xiaoshan said with a smile.

"It was said that Mrs. Xie gave Suisui a thank you gift last time. Drinking herbal tea will prevent heat stroke. Aunt Lin is afraid that everyone will get sick from the heat." Hu Xiaoshan recognized Xiao Suisui as his ancestor, so he naturally wanted to make his little master look good.

"Guan Niang is a good girl. Suisui is also a good boy." The village chief was originally worried that the rice would not be cut completely, but now he drank the herbal tea and felt full of strength, and he immediately went down to the field with the sickle.

"Let everyone in the field drink two bowls. It will be dawn in half an hour." The village chief looked worried.

"How is the Suisui family?"

"After the cutting, all the uncles and aunts nearby helped. Now I just go home..."

The village chief glanced at his own field and just took it back. Then he stood up and shouted: "It's still half an hour before dawn. Don't be busy mowing the rest. Bring it back to the cellar first." Suisui said before dawn. , it will be dawn now, and it will be bright in half an hour.

The village chief felt suddenly uneasy.

Immediately shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Take it back first, pull it back first and then cut it."

"Don't cut it, drag it back quickly." The village chief shouted as he ran.

After working hard all night, the villagers' legs and feet were trembling, and now less than one-tenth of the field was left.

It will definitely be finished in half an hour.

But the majesty of the village chief is evident in the village, even if someone comes out of the field and drags the rice home.

"It's better to throw it away in the yard, but it's better to hide it in the cellar. The rice hasn't even shed its ears yet."

"I don't know who the village chief listened to, but it must be that there is a locust plague. He also informed the surrounding villages that if the locust plague hadn't come, they would have to get up in the middle of the night to harvest the rice, half a month in advance, and it would not be ripe yet. I'm afraid. They are coming to our Wangjia Village to look for trouble..."

"And the wall too. The Black Wind Stronghold was destroyed, and the people and money were spent building the wall." The woman who spoke curled her lips. Not one member of her family chose a bodyguard, but the Lin family chose two!

"Okay, let's take you back to your parents' home." The man muttered, and the woman immediately shut up.

But it’s okay to complain, but who doesn’t know that living in Wangjiacun is the most peaceful place?

Twelve archers were on duty day and night, and thirty guards patrolled day and night. There was no fear of thieves even if the door was left open at night.

Wangjiacun is a large village that has always been united, but its biggest problem is poverty.

In the past two months, more and more outsiders want to marry into Wangjia Village.

Panting heavily, sweating profusely and their soles weakening, everyone moved the food to the entrance of the courtyard.

"I can't do it, I can't do it anymore. After harvesting rice all night, I can't even straighten my waist."

Everyone is a farmer, good at farming, but they have never cut rice all night long.

At this moment, the tiger's mouth was cracked, blood oozed faintly, and his hands were shaking uncontrollably.

In one night's work, only a few scattered clusters of rice remained unharvested.

"Hey, the Yan family's old house was confiscated?" The village chief was sitting on the threshold, with a yellowed handkerchief hanging on his shoulder, lowering his head to wipe sweat.

"What's going on? No notification from the old house?" The village chief frowned.

The boys in charge of notification waved their hands hurriedly.

"It's unjust."

"How can we not? We knock on the doors of every house and only those who leave are notified. I informed Grandpa Yan, and he said he knew." Several boys stared in injustice.

The elderly and children are very tired.

The village chief frowned fiercely, his expression ugly.

Lao Lizheng lived next door to him and waved his hand: "We Lao Li have our own lives and we can't control so many people."

"Perhaps his rice harvest is not good and he wants to raise it again."

Everyone had just dragged the rice ears home, and collapsed to the ground in exhaustion before they could put them into the granary.

Suddenly, a buzzing sound was heard.

Yan Hansheng jumped up as soon as the carp jumped up.

"What's the sound?" There was a buzzing in the ears, which made people feel bored.

Suisui had silently stepped on the stool and closed the doors and windows.

Her family shares the two or three acres of land in their old home. The land they bought two months ago has not yet been planted, so they harvested it in one night.

Everyone walked out of their homes one after another, looking up at the sky.

"What's going on? What's this sound?"

"Hey, that's weird. It was almost dawn just now, but it's suddenly foggy again. Is it going to rain? If it rains, won't our rice harvest be in vain?"

A woman suddenly screamed.

Everyone looked at the sky with solemn expressions, their hearts heavy, and they suddenly had an ominous premonition.

"It sounds like a flapping moth. But where do so many flapping moths come from?" Everyone looked at the distance, and the dense and dense thing in the distance was getting closer and closer.

Suisui stood at the door, frowning.

here we go.

The locust plague that swept through the entire Wangshan Prefecture began.

"It's locusts, it's locusts!!" Yan Erlang's face turned pale as he stood on the wall, staring blankly at the overwhelming locusts flying all the way.

He immediately turned around and yelled at the top of his lungs.

The villagers were all frightened.

"It's locusts. Hurry up and collect the grain. Close the granary immediately, close the doors and windows! Everyone go back to the house immediately! The locusts in the locust plague have a chest tightness and can hurt people!"

"Quickly, all escorts evacuate."

"Hide nearby immediately."

"Everyone quickly dragged the grain in. The elderly and children immediately closed the doors and windows, and left the fields alone!" An elderly person in the village had experienced the locust plague. During the locust plague, the locusts were extremely tight in the chest and would even attack people.

Uncle Wang is the village chief's uncle. He is over eighty this year and is one of the few longevity people in the village.

At this moment, his face looked frightened: "Go back to the house immediately, all the children will go back to the house immediately." His brother was living outside that year and was swarmed by locusts. His body was bitten with blood, and he eventually died of the infection.

The village chief was so frightened that Tianling Gai felt cold.

"The old people and children went back to their houses, the guards withdrew, and everyone moved the grain into the warehouse!" The faces of everyone in Wangjia Village changed with fear, and some of the grain was still piled in the yard after it was taken back. Immediately he stumbled and pushed home.

The old man of the Yan family was dumbfounded.

The moment I heard the locusts appear, a chill shot up from the soles of my feet to the sky.

The whole person lost all strength and fell directly to the ground.

"It's over, it's over, there's really a locust plague! Go and collect grain, go to the fields and collect grain, there's a locust plague!" Now the family only has the few hundred kilograms of grain subsidized by Heifeng Village, which is all about the crops in the field.
