Chapter 799: The Flood Has Occurred, the Locust Plague Has Risen!

Liaocheng, Xiejiazhuang.

During the floods, the area around Xiejiazhuang was one of the hardest hit by the collapse of the reservoir on the Tuxiao River next to Zhuangzi and two flood releases.

The entire Zhuangzi was washed away by the flood of more than 200 people, and some of them were lucky enough to float downstream, but half of them were either gone or completely gone.

Of the 70s or so people confirmed dead, many more are missing.

Life and death unknown.

Five or six out of ten of the buildings in Zhuangzi have collapsed.

After a heavy flood receded, the whole Zhuangzi, which had been covered with silt, was left with only a few newly built brick landlords before the flood.

After the floods, no matter how much damage is received, life still has to go on.

A few days ago, the township government had already counted the damage situation, and the site of the new Xie Jiazhuang had been selected, which was less than two kilometers away. Coincidentally, the location of Xin Zhuangzi is next to Wangjiabao, where most of the strong men have squatted in prison because of the crime of blocking the road.

However, Xie Laohan and a group of old people from Xiejiazhuang will still return to Lao Zhuangzi every day.

Although the flood washed away the Zhuangzi, most of the orchards on the slopes of Mao'er Mountain survived because of the high terrain.

"Brother Xie, come and see the garden?"

Xie Laohan took his granddaughter Xie Yifan, carrying a shovel and a shovel before he walked to his orchard, he met the third child of the original village.

"Alas!"

Xie Laohan hurriedly raised his hand and waved it twice, and the folds on his face gathered into a chrysanthemum with a smile.

In the past, the relationship between Xie Laohan and Wang San'er was not harmonious, and the two families had an unpleasant quarrel because of the problem of the water canal in the orchard.

After this flood, half of the people in Zhuangzi were gone, and the rest were very close even if they were not good on weekdays.

Those who have experienced catastrophes and disasters have seen all the big things. Except for life and death, it's all trivial.

The two of them looked at each other and stood still. Wang Sanyu threw the shovel in his hand and the big basket full of fruits on the ground, took out a few sand fruits and handed them to Xie Yifan.

"Thank you, Third Master. ”

Xie Laohan smiled and pushed his granddaughter.

"Thank you, Third Master!" Xie Yifan took a bite of the ripe fruit that was about to rot, sand and sweet, squinted his eyes and thanked him sweetly.

"Hey, good boy. Wang Sanzi grinned and patted the little girl's head, "Good boy,"

Old man Xie also rubbed Xie Yifan's braids.

There are not many children of Xie Yifan's age in Zhuangzi.

In the past, as soon as you entered the Zhuangzi, you could see those dolls at the entrance of the Zhuangzi, but now there are only a few left.

On weekdays, a group of children are running around on a chirping role, causing a lot of trouble for the donkeys who ride bicycles in the past. But now I can't see these dolls unexpectedly, without the usual chatter, people feel cold and scary, and the whole Zhuangzi seems to be really dead, without any life.

Seeing that Wang San's old eyes were choking with tears again, Xie Laohan hurriedly asked Xie Yifan to play by himself, and said, "Brother, what's going on with your home?"

"Ah," Wang Sanyu withdrew his gaze from the little girl's body, and smiled again: "God still gives face! Oh, my hundred or so fruit trees made two thunderbolts fall down." Most of the fruit was blown off, and a lot of it was rotten in the ground and couldn't be harvested. But those old green fruits are still hanging on the top! I can harvest half of them, it's good, it's good!"

In previous years, not to mention that half of the fruit could be harvested, even if it was eighty percent, it would be enough to worry people.

However, when the flood was severe, compared with the extinct crops in other places, the silt covered the crops, and the wheat and rice could not be harvested when they were ripe, and could only rot in the ground, and this half of them had been given a gift from heaven.

Those who have suffered disasters are most easily satisfied.

"That's good, that's good!" Xie Laohan smiled, "My family is pretty much the same." However, my eldest son came back yesterday, and said that it was the chamber of commerce where my brother-in-law and the two boys were organized, and there were several factories that made canned fruits, and they were studying sending cars down to harvest fruits!

"Is there such a good thing?" Hearing the news, the third child of the king was overjoyed, and folded his hands and bowed to the east: "Blessing!"

That day, if Li Xian hadn't moved a helicopter, the trapped villagers would definitely not have been able to escape. Now that he has solved a problem for the people in the village, Wang Sanzi is more and more grateful, and by the way, he also envies Xie Laohan: "Brother, your family is really not bad! The eldest and second child have a good livelihood, not to mention that they have gone out, and even took our Zhuangzi to borrow the boss's light!"

"Haha," these words scratched Xie Laohan's itchy flesh, "It's not false, it's true." Our second brother is a person with great skills! Haven't you watched the news, and you are standing in a pile with high-ranking officials when you take pictures!"

"That's, that's, haha"

"Grandpa, grandpa!"

When the two of them were chatting hot, Xie Yifan, who was squatting on the ground with a fruit and didn't know what to play, suddenly screamed twice.

"What's wrong, eldest grandson?" Old Man Xie, who was smiling like a flower, turned his head.

"Look, look! There are a lot of small bags on the ground, and the little grasshoppers in them are bouncing around, so interesting!" the little girl pointed to the ground and clapped her hands excitedly, as if she had discovered a new continent.

Well?

The smiles on the faces of Xie Laohan and Wang Sanyu froze, and they vaguely felt that something was wrong.

Hurriedly looked at where the little girl stood.

Sure enough, under the feet of the little girl, small dirt bags the size of fingernails were densely packed.

Some of the bags had already burst, as if they had been squeezed through pimples one by one.

Inside, locusts the size of sorghum grains are poking out their triangular heads, struggling to drill out!

Seeing this scene, the two looked at each other and were shocked!

Hurriedly searched around again, and when he saw that there were more than a dozen pieces of dirt bags in a few hundred meters around, and the two old men, who were almost one hundred and twenty years old, had a pale face.

"Not good!"

"Oh my God...... This is going to kill our crops!"

……

Provincial Department of Rural Agriculture.

Qiao Cunhou, the director of the department, who was organizing cadres at all levels to join forces with local agricultural product production and processing enterprises to rush to harvest and stop losses for crops in areas affected by the flood, looked at the door of the conference room with a slap, and the sweaty secretary frowned.

"What's wrong, so flustered?"

"Director, no, it's not good! I just received the following news that the signs of locust plague have been found in many parts of the province, and the insect swarms in some parts of the eastern part of the province have ...... It's already up!"

"What?!"

With the secretary's rude report, everyone in the conference room gasped!

In the aftermath of the floods, the province has taken preventive measures against post-disaster disasters.

It is said that there is a big epidemic after the flood, and in the past half a month, the epidemic prevention work in the province has been in full swing. Great efforts have been made to prevent and control the carcasses of people and animals after the flood, as well as mosquito plagues in ditches and swamps.

But no one expected such a thing to happen!

"How can this be?!After such a large amount of water, are the eggs in the soil still alive?"

Qiao Cunhou suppressed the shock in his heart, and asked a few agricultural experts sitting at the conference table.

"This ...... By common sense, no. ”

"But this kind of thing is not possible, after all, this time it is only the central part of our province that has more rainfall. Other areas have been in drought since the beginning of spring, which provides quite favourable conditions for locusts to hatch their eggs. “

"I think that if there is a locust plague, in the final analysis, it will be said that the flood has changed the environment and ecosystem of the river and the river. ”

"That's right, if there is a big change in the natural enemies of locusts such as microsporidia, birds, poultry, frogs, etc., even if there is a locust disaster in a flooded area...... It's not impossible. ”

After a moment of silence between the two experts, he said.

Thinking of the several locust plagues he experienced when he was young, Qiao Cunhou shuddered.

With trembling fingers, he pointed out the door, "Go.......! No, help me up, you guys go and get the reports from all over the country immediately, and you guys, come with me, go to the provincial party committee!"

Just when Qiao Cunhou hurriedly got into the car with a few agricultural experts and went straight to the provincial party committee and government.

Huimin, the eastern part of Shandong Province, is outside the small county town under the jurisdiction of Dongying City.

Looking up, the sky seemed to be covered with a layer of black fog.

Clusters of black dots rampage through the air.

On the ground, a huge army of locusts has gradually become imposing.

These locusts were as big as fingers and as small as cigarette holders, and they crawled mottled and mottled on the ground in a disorderly manner. But if you look at it from the sky, you can see that these little creatures like hungry ghosts who have escaped from hell are as orderly as a transit army!

Quickly eat up everything you can see in the area, then fly into the sky in droves before heading to the next place where there is food.

Eat!

It is the common belief of millions of locusts.

Meadows, crops, woods!

Everything that is green, that can be used as food to fill their bellies, that can supply them with the ability to reproduce at an astonishing rate, is the goal that guides them on their way.

On the hillside in the distance.

A group of peasants is kneeling on the parched land.

"Thief God, how can this live, how can this live!"

Looking at the dealer who had turned into a red ground in the distance, a terrible cry pierced the sky.

But immediately, he was crushed by the sound of the locust's wings vibrating in the air.
