Chapter 255: Disaster

The current Dong Qinghe is the queen's mother, although she is naturally the young valley master of the Medicine King Valley, and her status is noble.

However, he was far from being able to command the people of the Medicine King Valley like before.

This is for sure, she is the mother of the country, the phoenix entrenched in the world.

The Medicine King Valley has never had any connection with the imperial court, let alone such a situation.

Therefore, she herself did not have the face to ask for the Medicine King Valley's approach.

This time, the only way to do this is to see if the people can work together.

Dong Qinghe was worried here, and outside, Fang Shuyou couldn't wait to breathe a sigh of relief.

What are these people doing, one by one, they are actually praying for God's blessing, hoping that God will shoot down their nerves to drive these locusts away.

This is the situation of Fang Shuyou, Dong Qingdu and Wuhai coming down to inspect various places, hoping to take this opportunity to find the sudden point and get more information.

Most of the crops are in the countryside, so they are ready to take a good look in the countryside to see what is going on.

At the entrance of the village, a large altar was erected, on which the statue of the visitor's god was built, and the people in the village were worshipping, each holding incense in their hands, and was worshipping under the leadership of the people in front.

"Who are you?"

The three men were followed by five or six attendants, and beside the altar, a man dressed in simple clothes, with a bird's feather on his head, and a long trident in his hand, questioned them.

This trident, the lower handle is made of wood, and even the top three prongs have some rust, which is really not very deterrent.

"Who are you?"

Wu Hai asked him with a smile, thinking that this person was reckless, and he was really a little cute.

"I'm the guard of this sacrifice, don't come again, I warn you. ”

This guard was originally an ordinary person, and this time there was really no more suitable person to let him do such a thing.

Such a person actually doesn't know anything, and what he can do is just to do something that should be done at this time.

"Really, what can we mess with, hey, let me see who you're worshipping?"

Wuhai, who "has no long eyes", came over, looking very interested, shaking his head, very interested.

Dong Qingdu is a little unhappy, but he is also an ordinary person, can he not be like this.

One grabbed the person back, "Okay, don't do this. ”

"Why, I'm looking to see which immortal will be merciful and solve the problem of locusts. ”

Wuhai has a hippie smile, he is not a person who will believe these things, full of disdain.

For such an attitude, it is natural that you will not get some good things, and all you will get is the disgust of some other people.

Naturally, this attitude is resisted, especially Dong Qingdu of the Dong family, every time he arrives at this time, he knows why such a person can only wait for the news collected by others here.

Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of Chang'an, she really didn't know what went wrong, and she actually fell in love with him.

"Oh, it's the Medicine King Immortal. ”

But no, for the common people, the king of medicine, the king of the stove, the pox god Niangniang, and the Bodhisattva who sent the child are the most popular.

thought that this was all closely related to their lives, and as for the five grains and the like, the emperor would only go to worship.

The disaster brought by locusts is a punishment sent by God, and locusts are insects, which are naturally killed with medicine.

"Who are you?"

After leading the villagers to worship, the village chief walked over slowly, looking at these people, he didn't understand what he was doing.

You know, it's just a small village, it's not a fortress, it's just the kind of people who no one will come, what are these people here to do.

"This should be the village chief, we are people sent by the imperial court, and we want to see the situation here. ”

"This, what does this mean, the imperial court has sent someone to help us?"

The village chief's tone was a little unconvinced, but he was excited, and he was very happy that the imperial court had sent someone over, and it could be seen that this was indeed a good village chief.

"Really?"

Behind him, the other villagers with their wives and children came up to look at these people, very happy, as if these people could save them with a word.

This made Wuhai feel that he was too much, and touched his nose, "Let's just come over and have a look." ”

"Why are you worshipping this idol?"

On this side, Fang Shuyou walked over and circled around the makeshift altar, some of whom didn't understand why these people worshipped such a god.

"It's all praying for the protection of the Medicine King to protect us from this catastrophe. ”

"What sound?"

Suddenly, Dong Qingdu reacted, heard the voice, his face was embarrassed, and he turned his head: "The locusts are coming." ”

"Ah, what, run, run. ”

Under the command of the village chief, the sacrifices were taken, and the men hurried into the surrounding houses, closing the doors and windows, for fear that locusts would come in.

Dong Qingdu and Fang Shuyou were also greeted by the old village chief: "A few adults, come in, come in." ”

"Don't worry, sir. Dong Qingdu waved his hand, he and a few other people stood at the door, they could enter at any time, there was no one in this room, everyone else went into another room.

The sound got closer and closer, and everyone took their things in, blocked them, and saw that the sky was full of locusts, and countless locusts were coming all over the world.

Although one locust was not very big, countless locusts came, one by one, one by one, one squeezing one up and down, left and right, all of them, and the whole sky changed color, and darkness fell suddenly.

This is, the army of locusts is coming.

With a cold face, Dong Qinghe's face is very unsightly, and Wuhai's face on the side is not very good-looking, this is simply a disaster for life.

Locusts flew overhead in dense clusters, and naturally some locusts flew into the courtyards of each house.

There are also plants in the yard.

Dong Qingdu's gentleman's sword was unsheathed, Wu Hai was holding a long sword in his hand, and some of the people around him were holding long swords, and some were carrying knives, all of them looked nervous, showing grief and indignation, which was really hateful.

Dong Qingdu's swordsmanship is the best among these people, basically as soon as the sword is swung, there will be a situation where many locusts will die.

Instilling internal force into the sword can achieve a better effect than a pair of fleshy palms.

Wuhai is also good, holding a sword in his right hand and the medicinal powder given by Dong Qinghe in his left hand, with a direct wave, he saw that the locusts were dying one after another, and the rest quickly flew away.

With two long laughs, he closed the door with his backhand, and a group of people went outside to kill more locusts.

"It's amazing, these adults, it's amazing. ”

This is the people in the room, all of them are stunned, these adults, they must be too powerful.

At the same time, their own chickens and ducks came out one by one, and they were all hungry, and these locusts were simply their best food, and they began to feast on them.

Such a sight is really rare, this is a locust, a locust that they avoid and cannot avoid.

Especially those children, pointing at Dong Qingdu and Wu Hai: "Are those two uncles immortals?"

Otherwise, how can it be so powerful.

This is not something that only immortals can do.

There were also people who took dried straw and straw to burn the locusts.

This really worked very quickly, and the fire went straight over, and at the same time, someone on the side sent out a palm, and saw the flames quickly rush out, and directly burned this piece.

When the locusts passed this time, the losses were not very serious, and the people in the village came out, and they all knelt down under the leadership of the village chief, "Thank you for these adults." ”

The people here, except for Fang Shuyou, are all from the Dong family, and they were all brought by Dong Qingdu.

"You're welcome, please get up. ”

Dong Qingdu helped the village chief up, "These are what we should do, and we are all responsible for the country's troubles." ”

"A few people are pleased, please. ”

The village chief was very polite, let them sit inside, prepare tea, and invite them to drink two cups.

Dong Qingdu and the others originally came to listen to the voices of these people, so naturally they would not refuse, and followed him inside, wanting to listen to what they were talking about.

"This tea is still my daughter who married into the city, and it was sent over on my birthday, saying that someone sent it from the city to send good tea, you can rest assured. ”

Not to mention the appearance, just to talk about the clothes of these people, these people have never seen these materials.

His wife used to work in a big embroidery village, and they all said that they had never seen such good clothes and embroiderers in front of them.

This is a real big shot.

"It's okay, it's fine, we don't pay attention to this, a year ago, I was also from a village, even more remote than here. ”

Fang Shuyou smiled, like an immortal descending to earth, but it was gentle and made people believe it.

"If you look like this, you can tell that you are different from us people. ”

The village chief smiled and said, "I didn't expect that the adults of the imperial court could come to us, which is a blessing for our village." ”

But no, I didn't expect that there would be a Qin sent by the imperial court.

"What did the old man say? Dong Qingdu smiled, "You are also from the Xia Kingdom, and this is also the territory of the Xia Kingdom, where is there anything not to come." ”

Here, no matter how you say it, it is also the territory of the Xia Kingdom, and it is normal for them to come here.

"A few of us, we have never seen such a big locust plague before, and we have no experience, so we just want to ask you for advice. ”

"Speaking of which, this year's locust plague is not the biggest I have ever encountered in my life, the biggest is still the one in my thirties. ”

The three of them looked at each other, thinking that it was the time for the war.

"Back then, I wasn't in the village, I was in the city to help people, but I had also seen the locust plague, and that momentum was really able to defeat everything. ”

When the village chief remembered the past, he couldn't help but sigh and was very sad, "At that time, there was a shortage of crops, and there was no money, and those people even ate locusts, which was the real sadness." ”

When I think of the people in this village praying to God and worshiping Buddha like this, I can't imagine the scene of eating locusts alive in the first place.

"You don't know, if there are conditions, put it in the pot and fry it, even if it is a meal of meat, it is also a tooth sacrifice, and refugees who have no conditions must eat it raw, and it is also meat at all, which is better than the bark of the tree. Look at me, old man, these words are also spoken in front of several adults. ”

The village chief smiled apologetically, what kind of character was this, and where did he come to listen to him.

"It doesn't matter. Dong Qingdu waved his hand, "What the old man said is all the old things in the past, we are young, I don't know what to do, I just want to ask the old man for guidance." ”

It's really lowering your posture, and it's very polite, as if you can achieve more goals as long as you do this.

Speaking of which, these words were piled up with blood and tears more than 30 years ago.

These people are not ordinary people, who are not talented, where have they really experienced life in this village.

Even Fang Shuyou opened a academy, where he really relied on crops to make a living.

If he sells a painting, it is enough for him to be chic for several years, where do you need to really pay like this.

"This crop is the root of life, and in some places where taxes and miscellaneous taxes are heavy, there is no surplus grain, but how to live this day. ”

"This time, I don't know how many people are going to flee the famine, and they are all out of food, either they will sell their children to large families and rely on this to survive for a while, or the whole family will go to escape the famine, and when they can plant crops, they will go back and continue to plant crops, these are common. ”

Dong Qingdu can be regarded as having dealt with a lot of things, these things are not the first time I have seen them, the flood rushed over, there was nothing, and it was even worse, there were no people.

"Don't you know that there is medicinal powder in Baohetang and Shun'an Hall, which can be paid on credit or bought, all of which are specially designed to drive away and kill locusts, and you can buy them, mix them with water, and beat them on crops, specifically for locusts, and the locusts will die as soon as they eat them. ”

Wu Haidao, this medicine has been tossed out by Dong Qinghe, I heard that now, Dong Qinghe is really sick, and this is all caused by her sleepless day and night, not eating or drinking.

The ones used are all ordinary medicinal materials, rare medicinal materials, and the Medicine King Valley has already come out with this kind of recipe, but it is always in the crops, and I am afraid that the gains outweigh the losses.

"yes, really. The old village chief stood up, "Really, I don't know." ”

"It's true, don't worry, just go to Shun'an Hall and Baohe Hall, there are them. ”

"Also, the old man can dig a ditch, and if he lights it at night, the locusts like light, and they will come, and he will burn the locusts with fire, and the ditch should be deep enough to burn more to death, or he can try to catch it, or rush over and bury it alive with soil. ”

"You can catch a lot with a tight pocket, and when the time comes, I will burn them all to death. ”

This old man really hates these locusts.

"Thank you, my lords, it wasn't myrrh before, but we can't afford it, I don't know the price?"

"Don't worry, this is that kind of medicine, I brought some of it over, you can use it first, the price is not expensive, it is new, it is all raw material money, at this time, who still makes this black money." ”

Before coming out this time, Wuhai brought a lot, so he took it out directly to him.
