The rice is harvested, but there are other crops to be harvested, but fortunately, these harvests are better than rice, so Du Yue's skin is not always itchy. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

When the rice was harvested, Liu Tianming's family did not rest there, he had to be busy harvesting all the sweet potato vines, the sweet potato vines are not as good as straw, and the sweet potato leaves have been gnawed less. The sweet potatoes grown at home also have more than one acre and two acres of land, but so many sweet potatoes with leaves are not enough for one acre, which shows that there are more and more locusts. Although most of the vines have no leaves, they still have to be cut back. They only cut vines, and the sweet potatoes in the ground were not dug up, after all, the locusts could not eat anything underground.

Liu Tianming's family stepped up their efforts to harvest all the sweet potato vines. Although people don't eat this sweet potato vine, but they are all pigs love to eat, if this is gone, after the locusts, the pigs will have nothing to eat, then they have to raise more and more thinner, and the family is pointing to the end of the year to kill a fat pig for the New Year. So every time Liu Tianming finished cutting a load of sweet potato vines, he hurriedly picked them home, and there were several large tanks at home, which were used to hold these sweet potato vines before the arrival of winter, and now these sweet potato vines have no time to wash down, so they are all put into the tank. He had to hurry up to harvest it, and he had to wait for the plague of locusts to pass, and then he would take it out and wash it away.

The people in the village who did not approve of harvesting rice in advance at first could not wait any longer after seeing the more and more locusts growing day by day, and began to rush to harvest rice. At this time, time is equal to life, and no one dares to be lazy. There are those who have a large population, and they have also finished harvesting the rice, and only a few people with a small population have a much slower harvest, but there are more and more locusts, so that they can't wait to harvest the rice all the time, and those who don't rest are just limited in energy, no matter what, they have to go back to rest at night, or they will have no energy to harvest the next day.

Fortunately, some people who have finished harvesting, seeing that there are people in the village who have not yet harvested, take the initiative to help, after all, they are all people from the same clan, and they must help if they can help. It can be seen from these things that the people in Liujiazhuang are still relatively good.

Just when Liu Tianming's family cut back the sweet potato vines, all the locusts flew over, overwhelming, all locusts, and dense, some timid people cried when they saw it, and some people with dense phobia were dizzy when they looked at it. One can imagine how many locusts there are.

Du Yue saw so many locusts, she was already frightened, she had never seen this scene, fortunately at this time they all returned to the yard, Yuan Qing pulled Du Yue hard, pushed Du Yue into the house, and quickly closed the door, fortunately, every time I went out recently, I closed the window to death, or I had to be busy closing the window at this time. The locusts flew by like a gust of wind, but there were so many that they waited for almost half an hour before they heard the locust's voice much quieter.

Liu Tianming's family fortunately returned home, when the locusts came, they hid quickly, and did not suffer any harm, but some villagers who were still busy harvesting in the fields were not so lucky, when the locust plague came, they could only squat down, cover their heads and faces, just hoping to reduce some damage, fortunately, the locusts just ate the crops, those who squatted, only their hands were exposed, so only their hands were scratched by the claws of the locusts, but fortunately, they were not very serious. It's just that the crops in the field are not tight, and the straw is gone, and even the grain on the straw is gone.

On the drying lawn, some people's millet has not been dried, so they can only quickly drag all the rice together with a baffle and cover the cloth prepared earlier on top of the grain, so as to keep these rice, but some of the ones that have not had time to sweep up are all gone. But these people are glad that they have all picked up the rice and put it away at home, and only a small part of it is left here, and the loss of rice is relatively small. That's why these people aren't so sad.

Now these villagers regret why they didn't pay attention to the severity of the locust plague when they told themselves about the severity of the locust plague, so that the food was gone, these people looked at the empty rice fields after the locusts flew, and tears couldn't help but flow down, but now it's useless to cry, the food is gone. The grain has been eaten by locusts, and it seems that this year will be difficult, so we can only see which family has surplus grain, and then borrow some to feed our stomachs.

The people of Liujiazhuang are lucky, after all, there is a sense of responsibility that is so good that it bursts to the fullest, and the villagers were notified in advance to take back the crops, but the people in other villages are not so good, most of them are harvested relatively late, but later to see that the locusts gradually increased, and they began to harvest, but they only had time to harvest half, and the other half was eaten by the locusts. Those who have received half of them are still lucky, and there are still some people who always want to wait and wait, and in the end, they don't have time to take back a grain of grain.

After the locust plague, the surrounding villages were crying one by one, poor them, originally looking at the wind and rain, the rice was about to ripen, but the locusts rushed to eat all their food at this time, how could they not cry, but it was useless to cry anymore, after all, the food was gone. They only hope that when there is no food in stock, the imperial court can allocate grain to come down for disaster relief, or they can only drag their families out to beg for food, and they can't wait to starve to death at home. It's just that they don't want to be like that, after all, it's always better to be at home than outside.

Now it is not only the surrounding villages that have suffered, but also the people of the entire Liancheng, there are not a few villages like Liujiazhuang that have escaped this locust plague, and most of the people are holding a fluke mentality, always thinking that the locusts will not increase and will not cause the locust plague. Therefore, many people have not received much food back, and the most stored food at home is just barely enough for them to survive this winter, and they are still only drinking porridge, and they want to eat dry rice, which is even more impossible. After the locust plague appeared, the face of the Yao prefect turned white, and the appearance of the locust plague caused the farmers to lose their harvest, and there will definitely be a lot of refugees at that time. In this way, his assessment at the end of the year will be in vain.

But even if the assessment is lost, what he should do will not be less, he has to rush before there are refugees, he has to estimate the request to allocate food to the imperial court for disaster relief, if he waits until the refugees are all around and then asks, it is estimated that everything is too late, and then the refugees may become displaced people, robbery and theft, etc., there will definitely be an increase. These are also things that make Governor Yao a headache, but he is the parent official of this city, and he can't hide from it. He only hoped that when the time came, there would not be too many refugees, and that they would all make trouble for him.
