Chapter 111: After the Locust Plague

Liu Tianming's family hid in the house, and looked out from the opaque window paper on the window, and a large number of locusts flew over from the door of the house, and a large area of black pressure covered the sky. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Seeing this scene, Liu Tianming felt that there was about to be a big locust plague when he was a child, but fortunately, when this locust plague was coming, everyone had an early warning and took back the crops in time. He still remembered that after the family's food was eaten, they all followed their families and went outside to beg for food, but fortunately, it didn't take long for the court to send people to relieve the disaster, and they came home again.

Finally didn't hear the sound of locusts anymore, Yuan Qing carefully opened the door a crack, looked out of the door, only saw a few locusts, Yuan Qing boldly opened the door a little more, raised his feet and prepared to go out to see.

"Brother Yuan Qing, you don't have to wait any longer." Du Yue finally came back to her senses at this time, remembering the scene just now, it really scared her, at this time, seeing that Yuan Qing wanted to go out, Du Yue was afraid that there would be a large swarm of locusts coming, so she didn't want him to go out and take risks.

"Yue'er, it's okay, I'll just stand at the door and take a look, don't go far." Yuan Qing smiled and said to Du Yue. Although Yuan Qing is not very old, he also experienced a locust plague when he was a child, but the locust plague at that time was not as terrible as it is today, the scale of the locust plague was too small, and it was after the autumn harvest, so it had no impact on the people in the village, and the only harm was that the vegetables in the vegetable garden were gone.

"Qing'er, you stay at home, I'd better go and have a look first." Liu Tianming came over and pulled Yuan Qing in, he felt that he couldn't let his son take risks, if he came again for a while, it would not be fun for the locusts to catch the skin, this kind of thing should still let him come, anyway, even if the skin is injured, it will be fine, he is so old, his son is different, if the face is spent, it will not be so easy to find a daughter-in-law, he didn't expect his son to fall in love with Du Yue, and Liu Lin never told him. Liu Tianming tentatively walked out the door.

"Okay." Yuan Qing saw that he was pushed back by his own father, thinking that the locusts had passed for a while, there should be no big problem, and his father knew more than him, so he let his father out.

"Be careful, master." Liu Lin is also worried, she remembers that when she was a child, the locusts passed one after another, and the people at that time felt that the locusts were gone, who knew that not long after they came out, another large number of locusts came, and that time not only caused everyone to not be hungry, but also injured many people.

"Don't worry, it's okay, I won't go far, just take a look in the yard." Liu Tianming said, slowly walking towards the courtyard.

In the yard, there are no more locusts in sight, just now the big locusts have long flown away, only a few are scattered in the yard, it is estimated that they can't fly away, the hens raised at home "cluck" out of the chicken coop, their mouths peck at the ground and can't fly away a few locusts, a few bites to eat.

Poultry is the most perceptible to these natural hazards, seeing that the chickens at home have come out, Liu Tianming felt that there should be no more locusts coming, so he thought about walking outside the door again.

Liu Lin was at the door and watched his head walk away a little further, very worried, and said to Liu Tianming outside: "The head of the house, don't go too far." "The harm of the locust plague that year left a big shadow in Liu Lin's heart.

"Don't worry, I'll be safe." Liu Tianming turned around and said to his daughter-in-law, and continued to walk outside the gate, he wanted to check outside the door to see if there were really no locusts coming.

When he just came back, the courtyard door had not had time to close, and it was open at the moment, Liu Tianming strode out, and on the road to the door, he carefully paid attention to the situation everywhere. There were only a few locusts outside, but there were many fewer than in the field, and there was a locust on the ground that tried to fly, but unfortunately it took off and fell.

At this moment, several hens in the chickens came out after Liu Tianming, and these hens pecked at the locusts on the ground. Slowly, there were more chickens on the road, and it seemed that the chickens of each family had come out to eat the locusts that did not fly away.

Seeing that these poultry came out, Liu Tianming was completely relieved, at first it was just his own chickens in the yard, Liu Tianming didn't dare to be sure, but now he saw so many chickens going out, now he was completely sure.

"It's okay, you can come out." Liu Tianming returned to the courtyard and shouted into the house.

Liu Linshi looked at the head of the house and said that it was okay, so he walked boldly to the courtyard with confidence, and Du Yue and several people also followed Liu Lin's and walked to the courtyard together.

At this time, there were no locusts on the ground in the yard, and it was estimated that they were all eaten by the hens at home, and only a few were left on the wall, which were estimated to be out of reach of the chickens at home, or there were definitely none.

"Finally flew away. Brother Yuan Qing, thank you so much just now. "Du Yue was really frightened just now, in modern times, how can there be such a scene. It just happened that Yuan Qing pulled her in in time, otherwise I don't know what will happen. Now when I came out to look, I didn't see a large number of locusts, and finally I was relieved.

"As long as you're okay." Yuan Qing looked at Du Yue and said. He was also frightened when he saw Du Yue's appearance just now, fortunately he was relatively close, if he was far away, he wouldn't be able to pull it if he wanted to.

"Luckily, we all got home. I think back then, when many people were still in the fields and had nowhere to hide, it hurt a lot of people. Liu Lin's sighed, when Liu Lin's sister followed his sister to cut the wild vegetables eaten by pigs outside, the locusts came without warning, if it weren't for Liu Lin's sister to protect her whole person in time, she couldn't have been hurt, but her eldest sister was a little miserable, as long as the bare skin on her body, there was no place that was not injured, the most obvious was the wound on the forehead, the locust's claws were deep, and there are still marks.

"Mother, have you experienced a big locust plague before?" Yuan Ping heard her mother sighing, she was very curious, whether the locust plague back then was much more powerful than today.

"Well, that year, but there were many more locusts than today, and there were many more locusts, flying over and over, and your aunt and I lay on the ground for almost an hour, and we didn't dare to move. After that locust, there was no green one on the ground. Liu Lin remembered the locust plague, and he still had palpitations. At that time, she and her sister put the wild vegetables in the basket, but there was not even a stalk left.

Yuan Ping imagined in his mind what Liu Lin said, thinking about something more powerful, and it was almost an hour, was it much more than the locusts he had just seen, thinking about the locusts he had just seen from the window, Yuan Ping didn't dare to imagine it anymore, and his body trembled, this was really terrible.
