Chapter 113: After the Locust Plague 3

"Mother, her heart is not bad, but her mouth is a little unforgiving. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "Liu Tianming said this to Liu Lin's family, but it is also a reason for himself, and his mother is not a reason to dislike himself."

Although Liu Tianming is used to being like his mother, he is still very sad in his heart, but he can't confide in others about this sadness, so he can only hold it in his heart. Although he has his wife's care, Liu Tianming still didn't say this to his wife, he didn't want his wife to be sad with him, so just let him suffer it alone.

"You can rest for a while, and the meal will be good for a while." Liu Lin knows that her husband only talks to himself about happy things, and he wants to bury sad things in his heart, in fact, he doesn't say these things, and he can understand them, after all, she is also begging to live under her mother-in-law for a few years.

"I'll sleep first, and then you can call me later." Liu Tianming walked to the room and fell on the bed all of a sudden, wanting to empty his head, thinking about nothing, but his brain was even more messy.

"Go ahead, I'll call you later." Liu Lin thought, it's okay to sleep, maybe when you get up from sleep, you won't think about those things anymore.

The places where the locusts had ravaged were left behind, and the scope of the spread became more and more extensive, and finally the entire village under Liancheng was patronized by the locusts. And in those villages, there was not a tenth of the grain that was harvested in advance, and it was not that no one found the locust, but they were all waiting, and they thought, the rice is already so yellow, just wait a few days, just wait a few days, who knows, instead of waiting for the crops to be fully ripe, they waited for the ravages of locusts.

The village on the edge of Liujiazhuang is a little better, some people see that Liujiazhuang basically goes out to harvest rice in advance, and they also have some people who follow the autumn harvest, but no matter what, they are much worse than Liujiazhuang's, and the harvest is fast, but it is only almost finished, and the harvest is slow, but even half of the rice is gone.

At this time, in Shitang Village, next door to Liujiazhuang, except for some who harvested crops with Liujiazhuang, the rest of the villagers were all in their own fields, some women had already cried, and all the men's faces were dead and gray, and there was no look in their eyes, only some ignorant children were still playing, and they didn't know how terrible the locusts ate the grain.

In those fields, there is not even a straw stalk left, let alone leaky rice, the original field stalks are full of green grass, and now there is only bare land left, these villagers, even if they want to pick a wild vegetable to eat their stomachs, you can imagine how serious this locust plague is.

Shitang Village is better, next door to Shitang Village, but it is miserable, there is no early autumn harvest, not only can not pay this year's taxes, I am afraid that even those who drink gruel will not be able to do it.

For a while, the people in every village were in pain, many people felt that they couldn't survive, and some people who had many children were thinking about whether they had to sell their sons and daughters, and they all thought about whether to do something before the big guy's food was finished.

Although the people in the city do not grow food, they will be sad all the same, because the appearance of this locust plague, after the peasants' stock of grain is exhausted, they will definitely come to the city, and after a large number of refugees enter the city, their livelihood will no longer be secure, and the price of food will definitely rise again. Who knows what crazy things these refugees will do?

Governor Yao saw the disaster situation of the villages presented to him by his subordinates, and he didn't have the courage to continue looking at it, and what his subordinates reported was basically that every village was bare, and he felt that his position was no longer stable.

In fact, before the locust plague appeared, someone had already reminded him, saying that there were locusts and that there might be locust plagues, and asked him if he wanted to do something to prevent locust plagues, but he didn't dare to make a decision at that time, for fear that he would let people harvest early, but in the end, the locust plague did not come, thinking that he would wait a few days to see, but who knew that he was waiting for the locust plague.

Governor Yao was spread out on the Taishi chair at the moment, and his face was worse than that of the old farmers in the fields. The information in his hand had already slipped down, as if he didn't feel it.

"My lord, this must be reported to the court as soon as possible." The master of the Yao Governor's Mansion said while picking up the materials that fell on the ground.

Governor Yao didn't seem to hear his master's words, he sat there, and didn't respond to his master's words, and his expression made the master want to slap him so that his master could come back to his senses. But the master didn't dare to do that, after all, he was still begging for a living under others.

Governor Yao sat there for a whole hour, but he didn't move, so he sat there fixedly, feeling like he was about to become a wooden man.

When the master saw this situation, he felt that it was terrible, but at this time, such a big locust plague could only be reported to the imperial court quickly, and it must not be delayed. But looking at his own adults like this, the whole day seems to be ruined, and he can't afford anything at all, he wonders if he is with the wrong person, and if he follows such a person, can he have a good future in the future.

Du Yue took Yuan Ping to walk by the river, originally there were a large patch of wild vegetables by the river, which were green, but now there is no shadow of a wild vegetable.

"Sister Yue, this locust plague is really terrible." Yuan Ping looked at the bare river, and couldn't stop being afraid, but fortunately, he had finished collecting all the food at home, and he would not be hungry in the future.

"It's the first time I've seen anything like this." Du Yue was no longer afraid after the locusts were over, but she was thinking, I don't know if the surrounding villages have time to harvest the crops, if they don't have time to harvest, they will be eaten by the locusts, and now only the people in their village have collected them, so in the future, those who have become refugees will come to Liujiazhuang first.

It's just that Du Yue can't say these thoughts to Yuan Ping, so I'm afraid that if I say it, it will scare her again. But she couldn't say it to Yuan Ping, so she thought about whether she wanted to mention this matter to her uncle for a while, and let him inform Lizheng so that she could take precautions in this regard, after all, after people don't have anything to eat, anything may happen.

Du Yue thought, although everyone basically still has food in store now, it is better to take precautions in advance, after all, some of the surrounding villages have seen people from their village rushing to harvest crops.

Thinking of this, Du Yue didn't continue to walk by the river, but just wanted to go home.

"Ping'er, let's go back." Du Yue said to the little tail beside him, as long as he didn't go to class, basically wherever Du Yue went, Yuan Ping would follow. But Du Yue also likes to have such a person with him, who can talk at any time.

"Sister Yue, aren't you shopping?" Yuan Ping saw that Du Yue wanted to go back and asked.

"Well, it's bare everywhere, and there's nothing to see, so let's go back." Du Yue said.

"Yes, nothing." Yuan Ping looked around, and his heart was also sad for a while.
