Chapter 104: The Locusts Are Coming

"Ah, locusts. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info "Liu Lin was frightened by the child's father all of a sudden, the one who planted the crops, the most afraid is this locust, the locusts cross the border, but there is no grass left, if it is really a locust plague, then this year's work will be in vain." Liu Lin remembers that once when he was a child, the locust plague was very serious, the rice and other crops in the field were all gone, that year, the whole family tightened their stomachs, and barely survived, at that time there was basically no food, many times they could only drink water, and then there were large and small locust plagues, but they were not as big as that time, I don't know how serious the locust plague was, but Liu Linshi did not dare to underestimate this little locust, who knows if there will be a lot of locusts at that time. Fortunately, the rice is almost ripe now, and even if it is harvested a few days in advance, it will not have much impact, and it is better than letting the locusts eat it all.

Liu Tianming's face was solemn, this rice was the hope of their family, and it must not be lost, so he decided to take back all the rice tomorrow.

"After a while, we will prepare all the tools for harvesting rice, and tomorrow our family will harvest the rice first, as long as it is recovered, even if there are locusts, then we will not be afraid." Liu Tianming said.

"Well, tomorrow we will take back the rice first, and the rest will be harvested in time, and the peanuts can be pushed back, after all, they are not afraid of the ground." Liu Lin also said.

At this time, the whole village exploded, and everyone who had been to the crop field saw a few locusts to some extent, and they talked about it.

At this moment, under the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village, many people gathered, and everyone was discussing whether the locusts that suddenly appeared this year would become a disaster.

"This year's locusts have popped up again, and it seems that nine times out of ten, there will be another locust plague, but I don't know if the locust plague will be serious this year." An old farmer in his fifties, his family has a large population, and the crops he planted are more in the village, so he is very worried, if there are no crops, the family will not be able to survive, he remembers the locust plague a few decades ago, but there is no grass left, he has to drag his family to other places to beg for a living, he is now in his fifties, but he doesn't want to live like that again.

"Why are the locusts coming again this year, I remember not just coming a few years ago, but fortunately, the scale was not large, so it didn't have much impact, but I don't know what will happen this year, will it affect too much." Another villager also said that although his family has planted less land, they all rely on this to make a living, and there is definitely no room for loss.

"I think we should harvest the rice first, so that even if the locusts are coming, we won't be afraid." Another villager said, he thought, as long as the crops are harvested and the harvest is small, he is not afraid, even if there is a plague of locusts, he will not be unable to survive at that time.

"Well, yes, we'll harvest all the crops tomorrow, and tomorrow my baby won't go to school, so it's the right thing to harvest the crops first." A villager was so frightened by the locusts that even the little baby who went to school at home had to help harvest the crops, after all, there is a lot of power, even if it is a small baby, it can help do something.

Li Zheng is also very worried at this time, to ask him what he is most afraid of planting crops, he will definitely say that the most afraid is the locust plague, to his age, have experienced the most terrible locust plague, he has to consider at this time, whether to let the villagers harvest the crops, but afraid that there will be few locusts by then, now the early harvest, and affect the harvest, but if you don't tell the villagers, if there are really too many locusts, then someone will say this, so Li Zheng is the most big head at this time.

Li Zheng couldn't decide on such a big matter, so he went to the patriarch, and he had to find some crop veterans and ask their opinions, if these crop veterans thought it was serious, then he had to notify the villagers and harvest the crops first.

Li Zheng called his son to inform a few good farmers in the village, and he himself went to the patriarch to wait first.

"Patriarch, what do you think of the locusts that have appeared on the crops in the past two days?" Li Zheng went to the patriarch's house, and he was no longer polite, and threw the matter directly, this kind of thing can't be delayed, the sooner the decision is made, the better, who knows if this locust will come, when it will come.

"I just went to the field to see it, although there are only a few of them, but on the whole, they are not too little." The patriarch had heard from his son about locusts in the morning, so he went around the fields in the afternoon, and locusts could be seen in every field.

Not long after, Li Zheng's son called all the good people who planted crops in the village to the patriarch's house, a total of eight people, including Liu Tianming.

"Yu Zhang, what do you think of the locusts that appeared in the field this time?" The patriarch asked the older villagers.

"Patriarch, I think this locust plague may be more serious, I don't know when this locust plague will come, I think I will harvest all my crops tomorrow." A villager named Yu Zhang said that he had no other skills to make a living, and the whole family was counting on these crops, and there was no room for failure.

"I think Uncle Yu Zhang is right, it will really become a locust plague like that, and I also think it's better to harvest all the crops first." Liu Tianming also thought that he was right, and he also thought that it was time to harvest all the crops.

Several other farming experts in the village all thought so, and for a while, Li Zheng had a spectrum in his heart. He knew that he had to hold a meeting and tell everyone about the severity of the locust.

"Since you all think so, it shouldn't be wrong, I'll gather the villagers first and harvest the crops." Rizheng decided.

"Well, go to the ancestral hall and gather everyone to talk." The patriarch agreed. After all, the people of the village all rely on this to make a living, and seeing this situation, they really can't wait, the autumn harvest is as soon as possible.

"San'er, a few of you go to the houses of those people at the edge of the village, and inform them to come to the ancestral hall to gather." Li Zheng said to his sons that the village is not small, and the ancestral hall only has a gong and drum, and when it is beaten, he is afraid that the villagers in the distance will not hear it, so Li Zheng asked his son to call those people.

The patriarch took the lead, and Li Zheng and several farmers in the village followed out. The son of the chief and the son of the patriarch had just heard Li Zheng's order, and they all went out one step earlier.

When everyone arrived outside the ancestral hall, the patriarch took out the key, opened the door of the ancestral hall, let everyone in, and then asked Liu Tianming to take out the gong and drum. Among these people, Liu Tianming is a little younger, so the patriarch must have asked Liu Tianming to do the gong and drum for a while.

Liu Tianming took out the gong and drum from the side, picked up the drumstick, and began to beat it "dong dong". (To be continued.) )
