Just when this person was panicking and doubting his survival, He'an Village, dozens of miles away from Baohe Village, caught fire due to the spontaneous combustion of dry straw under high temperature exposure.

Under the conditions of water shortage, it is very difficult to extinguish, and the speed of the flames is so fast that even a spark drifting past will cause another fire, and it will not take long for the entire He'an Village to burn into a sea of fire.

The fire grew stronger and stronger with the wind, and the surrounding mountains and forests were also engulfed in flames, and the nearby villages were not only powerless to put out the fires, but also spread by the fires.

Seeing that their own village was also in danger, the village had no choice but to eradicate the weeds, straw, and everything that could be burned near their village, and then dig deep ditches and bury them in the earth to stop the fire.

The heat wave burned half the sky, and when you stood in the village, you could see the black smoke billowing there, and the air was even hotter, and the face was full of hot heat.

The flames were overwhelming, and in the absence of water, it was simply not possible for manpower to extinguish them, and even as far away as Baohe Village, fire ditches began to be dug.

In the end, the fire was completely extinguished more than ten miles away from Baohe Village, and after the fire that burned for ten days and ten nights passed, five large villages in He'an Village were destroyed in one fell swoop.

Since then, fire prevention has also been given a key position.

The fire burned the mountains bald, directly burned hundreds of people, the affected area was dozens of miles, and the people who survived the fire were also homeless, and no one would come to help them when it was difficult for most people to protect themselves.

The already difficult days were undoubtedly made worse, and some of these people packed up their belongings from the fire and left for the country.

Most of them flocked to the town, and Shi Hai's pressure increased, but fortunately, Mei Niang's space could barely afford it.

But if the disaster worsens, Meiniang's space alone will be difficult.

There are also some people who do not go to the town to wait for a bowl of thin porridge every day, they choose to join relatives and friends, and there are many faces in the neighboring villages for a while, and Baohe Village is naturally no exception.

And Xiucai and his wife are also survivors of the fire, their homes were burned to the ground, and the two mothers who had no relatives to vote for finally chose to go to Yun Lao's family, after all, Xiucai and Xi Niang were engaged.

Xi Niang's family originally fancied the family of Xiucai, and even more wanted to enjoy the happiness of Xiucai, who would have thought that he would suffer this disaster before he was in high school, and the family was burned to the bottom.

But everyone is here, and with the current relationship, they can't drive people out, maybe one day Xiucai will be in high school, and the family will follow.

So, with such expectations, the Xiucai and the two settled in Yun Laoer's house.

Every day, Xiucai Niang followed to do housework, and since she came, Chen shook his hand and handed over all the work at home to her.

Xiucai Niang is a diligent person, and she is also neat and clean, and she is more elegant and graceful than most women in the village.

Although she now lives in the Xi Niang's house, which she originally looked down on, the truth of people under the low eaves is that they know that Yun Lao's house is well organized, much cleaner than before, and the food is rough but delicious.

Chen's heart is getting colder and colder in his eyes, the more capable and good she is at taking care of the house, the more it seems that she is not a good person to live.

Especially when she saw Yun Lao Er's eyes turning around with Xiucai Niang, she was even more angry, if it weren't for the future of her daughter, she would have driven Xiucai and her mother out of the city early in the morning.

Xiucai took the book every day, sat in front of the window and shook his head and read it, this book was still on fire when Xiucai Niang desperately snatched it out of the fire. Because of this, the two of them don't even have a copper plate anymore.

He didn't pay any attention to the undercurrent of the family, and it can be said that he really didn't listen to the things outside the window, and only read the books of the sages.

He still remembered what his mother said to him at that time, in order to have three wives and four concubines in the future, and for him to finally marry Meiniang, he must work hard to gain fame.

At the beginning, the bride sat opposite and looked at Xiucai with admiration in her eyes, but Xiucai never raised her eyes to look at her.

Xi Niang is not angry but happy, the harder Xiucai works, the greater her hope of being an official wife, in order to show her talent to study better, Xi Niang almost takes the best food in the family to Xiucai.

Regardless of Chen's increasingly cold face, and the dissatisfaction of Old Lady Yun and Yunqiu, food, clothing, housing and transportation are all the best waiters.

Before the Xiucai and the two came, what was the best thing in the house, which was not close to Yunqiu? But as soon as Xiucai came, Xi Niang only cared about Xiucai, and Yunqiu could only eat half full.

Although, these things were also asked by Mrs. Yun cheekily at the third uncle's house, but they are also from the Yun family, why should they be given to Xiucai and his mother, two outsiders?

But no matter what the bride does, she can't warm Xiucai's hard-hearted heart.

Occasionally, Xiucai stared thoughtfully in the direction of Mei Niang's house, and Xi Niang bit a mouthful of silver teeth.

Originally, I thought about letting Mei Niang serve her as a husband, she was big and Mei Niang was small, but after seeing Xiucai's deep affection, Xi Niang never thought about it again.

She longed for Meiniang to marry out earlier, so that she would break off Xiucai's thoughts.

However, she didn't want Meiniang to marry Jiang Chuye, that man was calm, handsome, and courageous, better than her talent, and she was unwilling to marry Meiniang better than her.

As soon as his mind moved, his bad heart turned out.

As long as the vote-takers are willing to accept them, the people in the village will also turn a blind eye and not harm the interests of the villagers.

Just after the fire here, the buds that did not grow in the field were not yet ripe, and the people were facing another disaster.

As the saying goes: there will be locusts after a long drought.

After nearly two years of drought, a huge locust plague swept in, and for a while, there was nothing left of the locust tide that passed through it.

The people's eyes were red, not despair from the locust plague that followed the drought, it was all the excitement and excitement of seeing the food.

Almost everyone in the town and village went out to the fields with all kinds of homemade locust trapping tools.

The locusts that came to the sky were now on the muzzle of the gun, and almost all the families went out, and each person could catch at least one or two catties of locusts a day.

Within a few days, the locusts were decreasing at a visible rate.

While the crops in the fields are gnawed, the locusts are also facing an existential crisis, not from the crisis of food, but from the overhunting of people.

All kinds of cooking methods are used, there are those that have been boiled and dried in salted water, some are fried directly in a dry pot with salt, and some are cooked with oil in good conditions, and some people even throw them directly into the fire and roast them.

In short, there was joy on the faces of the people, although the locusts did not have much meat, and they were full when they ate them.

There are many locusts, but they can't stop more people, and within 10 days after the locust plague arrives, it is not much better to find a locust in the field than to catch a big needle.

It's just that there is nothing left of the crops that have been dried in the sun, but fortunately, I knew that there was no harvest this season, and those locusts became an accident.
