Three steamed buns and two bowls of rice porridge were the most common meals in the past.

But now, there are many people who envy Lao Wangtou, because these three steamed buns and two bowls of rice porridge can free him and his grandson from hunger.

After getting the steamed buns and rice porridge, the old king did not hesitate, and directly ate in front of the yamen with his grandson.

It's not that they deliberately show off, they are so hungry.

When you are hungry, you can't walk when you see food, and you have to eat it.

Lao Wangtou's grandson is very young, but a steamed bun was eaten by him in two bites, and a bowl of rice porridge was drunk by him in one go.

The way he eats is so delicious.

Someone in the crowd thought that Lao Wangtou was a little better, but he also used two bites to eat up a steamed bun, and then drank the bowl of rice porridge in one go.

After that, he broke another steamed bun and gave half of it to his grandson, and he kept half for himself.

If it was before, he would definitely keep the only remaining steamed bun, because a steamed bun can let his grandson live one more day, one more day.

If you live for one day, you have hope.

However, now it is different, the locusts all over the mountains, they are all food, he is not ready to rest, he has to catch locusts overnight, as long as there are locusts, there is food, so why worry about eating this meal, there will be no next meal?

The grandfather and grandson didn't have enough to eat, but the feeling of hunger had subsided.

Not being hungry makes them less sad and flustered, because they know they can live.

As long as people can survive, they don't need to be too flustered about what they encounter.

Because to live, everything will be had.

The grandfather and grandson rubbed their stomachs and glanced at each other, and the child, who had been not exciting, suddenly jumped up and down again.

He didn't know what the sorrows of the world were, as long as he could eat enough.

The two left under the gaze of everyone, and the state after eating was enviable, and they wanted to cry with envy.

"Why, why are they able to eat and we can't?"

"No, I'm so hungry I can't stand it."

"Death by starvation is death, and offending the locust god is death, but even if I have to die, I will be a full ghost."

"That's right, when you're full of dead ghosts, the taste of hunger is so unpleasant, I'm going to catch locusts."

"That's right, catch locusts......"

Originally, there were many people gathered at the yamen, but when the old king left, the others also dispersed in a hurry, and each went home to get tools to catch locusts.

Here in the yamen, someone soon passed the news through.

"Master Hou, it's done, and now many people are going to catch locusts."

Hearing this news, Qin Tian nodded: "Okay, as long as these people are willing to catch locusts, that's a good thing, let those people eat, tonight, the door of the yamen will always be open for them, when they catch the locusts, when will they be able to eat steamed buns and rice porridge." ”

Rice porridge and steamed buns have already been made, so naturally they all have to be given to the people.

Most importantly, some people may not be able to wait for tomorrow, so if they catch locusts, let them eat.

And at night, in fact, the best time to catch locusts.

Qin Tian's order was conveyed, and when those people heard this, they became more and more excited, caught locusts overnight, and ran to exchange for steamed buns and rice porridge.

----------------------

The night passed like this, and the next morning, more and more people heard the news.

More and more people have joined the ranks of catching locusts.

Inside and outside Dangyang City, there are people catching locusts everywhere.

Originally, there were a lot of locusts outside Dangyang City, but because everyone came out to catch them, there were fewer locusts outside Dangyang City.

In order to catch more locusts, many people had to travel farther to get there.

People are sometimes terrifying, they can wipe out anything, and locusts are no exception.

And in this group of locust catching teams, there is a group of people who are particularly dazzling.

They were the women in Yang City, and when everyone else was catching locusts, they also began to catch locusts.

And these people are from different Qinglou, and after they met, they were all a little surprised.

"Oh, isn't this the smiling girl of Xiaofenglou, you are the top brand of Xiaofenglou, why are you here to catch locusts?" The woman who spoke was plump, but she was very beautiful, and she used to be in Dangyang City, which was very popular.

For many men, women who are actually slightly plump are more attractive than those who are thin, and this attraction can sometimes be fatal.

She is the peony girl of Wanhualou.

The smiling girl saw that it was the peony girl, and smiled: "Aren't you also here to catch the locusts?" ”

The peony girl pouted: "Don't say it, now the men are catching locusts, and the old lady has no business, and if she wants to eat, she can only do it herself." ”

She used to sell herself.

The smiling girl said: "Do it yourself and have enough food and clothing, it's better than relying on a man." ”

"Yo, the smiling girl said this, but it opened my eyes......"

Women will not be too peaceful together, especially the women who used to be opponents, they are all going to fight openly and secretly, at the beginning, they only teased a sentence or two, but in the end, they fought fiercely.

However, in such an already extremely depressing situation, it is not a bad thing for them to have such a quarrel.

At least prove that they are still alive.

The locust catching activities in Dangyang City are becoming more and more enthusiastic, more and more vast, and the vastness is a little shocking.

Originally, everyone was still afraid of the locust god or something, but when everyone joined in, the fear of the locust god faded a lot, and even, many people forgot about it.

A locust is just a worm.

Many people inside and outside Dangyang City are catching locusts, and even people who are far away from Dangyang City have joined in one after another.

And just when everyone was frantically catching locusts, here in Jingzhou City, Li Hedong, the king of Chu, had learned all the news.

"Lord Wang, when the city of Yangyang is broken, the two cities of Jingmen and Yichang, I'm afraid it won't last long, Master Hou, what should I do, do you want to send troops to help?"

Hearing that Dangyang City was broken, and Jingmen and Yichang couldn't support it, Li Hedong suddenly stood up, and his expression became very hideous.

"Damn, then Li Shimin only sent 25,000 soldiers and horses, and they were separated, Qin Tian in Dangyang City also had 5,000 soldiers and horses, Han Yi couldn't hold it, stupid, stupid."

After insulting him like this, Li Hedong, the king of Chu, suddenly remembered something and asked, "What about Zhang An beside Han Yi, with Zhang An here, Dangyang City was actually broken?" ”
