After the eldest grandson rushed back, he asked the little steamed bun and the little bun to catch locusts for him, and the two little girls were so frightened that they swore to death.

"Young master, Lord Locust can't be offended. If you catch locusts, you will be retaliated, and then all the locusts will fly to our house. The little steamed bun shook his head to stop the young master from being confused.

Seeing that these two people were frightened like this, they knew that they couldn't do anything, so they got dressed and took their personal guard Dazhu, and Erzhu went out of the city in person, found a tight sack, and prepared to go outside the city to catch locusts.

Chang'an City was fine, but a few locusts flew over, but not far from the city gate, I found that there were more and more locusts. The crops, which were already green and lush, were now eaten by the locusts and only the poles were left, and the leaves were almost gnawed.

"Big pillar, second pillar, catch me!" The eldest grandson Chong took out a veil, covered his face, and took the lead, and went into the field by the roadside to start catching locusts.

Many people on the side of the road watched the strange behavior of the three of them, how could they catch the locusts in the sky! Many peasants were heartbroken when they saw that the crops in the fields were eaten, and although the imperial court reduced taxes and fees, they would starve to death if they did not harvest the grains.

These peasants watched in despair as the locusts behaved recklessly, and they wished to pinch these scourges to death, but there were so many scourges that they could not be caught!

There are too many locusts, plus the big pillar, the two of them are very skilled, and they grabbed most of the pockets in a short time!

When Changsun Chong was about to return home, he saw that many people had gathered on the road, all honest farmers, and he had an idea, instead of persuading them to eat locusts, it was better to let them eat locusts themselves.

The people are the best salesmen, and when they spread the word ten, ten spread it to hundreds, they didn't believe it, and everyone started to catch locusts, and these locusts could still be so many!

"Dazhu, is there a water source nearby?" Eldest Sun Chong prepared a live lecture today to teach them how to eat these locusts.

Dazhu looked up and looked around, not very clearly.

An old man in his sixties and seventies came up on crutches and said, "There's a stream over there!" But I want to ask, what are you catching locusts for? ”

Da Zhu, the two of them didn't know, and they looked at Changsun Chong in unison!

The eldest grandson "coughed" twice, cleared his throat, and said: "These locusts eat the crops, we will eat these locusts!" It's also a meat dish! ”

The white-haired old man made a "poof" and fell to the ground, and the eldest grandson Chong hurriedly stepped forward to help him up and said, "Uncle, are you okay?" ”

When the white-haired old man regained his senses, he pleaded and said: "Locust immortals, it is God who punishes us, as long as these immortals are full of food and drink, they will leave." ”

Eldest Sun Chong's facial muscles were stiff, and the locusts had now become immortals, and today it was necessary for him to give these ignorant and uncivilized people a course on scientific understanding of locusts.

"Uncle, this locust is not a god, let alone a punishment from heaven. After all, most people in the world are kind, although there are some people who have committed crimes, but the court has punished them instead of God. As for these locusts, they are just last year's locusts giving birth, last year there was a great drought, there was no snow this winter, it was warmer than before, and the locusts in the soil did not freeze to death, so there are so many locusts now. Changsun Chong explained, hoping that today will be able to convince these people.

The people around listened to it and felt that what Changsun Chong said was good.

"Actually, I also think that locusts are not immortals, I remember that I used to wear locusts on a wire and roast them on the fire, which was quite fragrant." A younger lad, remembering things from his childhood.

"I've also eaten it, it tastes good, it's also meat, but it's not much oil and water!"

"Mmmm, it tastes good!"

When the eldest grandson heard this, he felt that it was not difficult to convince them, and said: "I also heard an old Taoist say before, God has the virtue of a good life, and now the people have no food to eat, and they are going to starve to death, so they can naturally eat locusts!" If you dare not eat it, we will go to the open space next to the creek in front of you, and I will eat first, and if the locusts are immortals, you will chop me to death on the spot!" Anyway, our family has no food, and we are all starving to death. ”

Everyone's eyes turned around Changsun Chong's body, and they all showed disbelief, who called Changsun Chong, this guy, except for wearing a coarse cloth clothes, but he looks white and fat, no matter how he looks at it, he doesn't look like he is hungry! It's like a young master who has nothing to do, eating and waiting for death!

Dazhu, Erzhu, opened his eyes to Changsun Chong and said nonsense, he was very embarrassed, and they all turned their heads to look away.

The eldest grandson smiled and said something to save the scene: "I'm hungry and swollen, fat!" ”

Ignoring the disdainful look behind him, the eldest grandson Chong walked quickly in front and arrived at the edge of the stream, ready to clean the locusts in the bag, but there was too much meat on his stomach to squat.

"Who are you lying about!"

"Yes, the face is red, and the blood is full!"

Everyone pointed at the eldest grandson.

Da Zhu, although Erzhu felt that the young master's current behavior was very strange, and he still had to eat locusts, he was very puzzled, but he did not allow others to point fingers at his young master.

"Young master, I'm coming!" Take the big pillar.

"No need, don't wash it, Dazhu, you go to collect firewood, Erzhu, you go and make a fire." If you don't wash it, anyway, after the fire, the bacteria will also be burned to death, and you can't eat dead people.

The big pillar and the two pillars acted separately, and after a while, a fire was erected. The eldest grandson Chong took the open flame to another pile, left the flame without flames, took some locusts, buried them in the fire, and buried them in several piles. After a while, the smell of meat wafted from the fire.

Although these people have not run out of food at home, they drink porridge every day, and they don't remember when they last ate meat.

The eldest grandson Chong picked out the locusts from the fire, which were charred on the outside and tender on the inside, the smell of meat and the fragrance were even stronger, and the onlookers swallowed their saliva one after another.

When it was colder, Changsun Chong picked up a few and patted them in his hand, blowing off the ashes on them, and just wanted to put them on himself, but was stopped by Dazhu.

"Young master, I'll eat first, it's okay, you eat again!" The young master wants to eat indiscriminately, if there are three long and two short, the two brothers don't want to have a good end, they are the sons of the eldest grandson's family, slaves for generations, and the eldest grandson's family is both prosperous and lost!

The big pillar, the second pillar can't be distinguished, picked up the locusts on the ground, stuffed them into his mouth, forcibly resisted nausea and vomiting, and ate them hard.

The two guards were very loyal, he knew that the locusts were okay if they ate them, but the two brothers didn't know, and it could be seen from their expressions that they were really risking their lives. Based on the performance of the two today, such two people are worthy of his eldest grandson Chong's reuse.

When the people around were about to watch the drought and thunder fall from the sky and kill these bold people, Dazhu, Erzhu, and Changsun Chong ate deliciously, and their expressions changed from disgusting to relish.

By the time the first wave of burnt locusts had been eaten, the three men had nothing but black grass ash on their mouths.

"Big brother, this locust is quite delicious, I haven't eaten meat for half a month!" Erzhu already knew that this thing was not poisonous and tasted good, so he smiled and said, "I'll catch some more later, and make them for my father and mother!" ”

Da Zhu nodded, since these days, it has been rare for the master to eat some meat, let alone those of them who are subordinates.

Everyone saw that the eldest Sun Chong and the other three were eating with relish, and some people who did not believe in evil were attracted by the fragrance, and they caught locusts one after another, ready to try, even if they were punished by God, they had to eat, it was better than starving to death!

The white-haired old man took a few burned locusts from Erzhu's hand, put them in his shriveled mouth, where only one of the upper and lower front teeth remained, and chewed them carefully.

"Yes, it tastes good!" The white-haired old man ate a few, made a few by himself and threw them in the fire, thinking that he was already sixty or seventy years old, and he had lived enough, so he would eat enough first.

The others were also constantly swallowing their saliva, and compared to hunger, the punishment of the gods was temporarily thrown behind.

"Uncle, if you have bad teeth, you can clean these locusts in water, then dry them, grind them on top of graphite to make powder, make cakes or pair them with wild vegetables to make dumplings, which is suitable for you to eat when you are old. If there is oil at home, fry it, oops, no less than the delicious food! When the eldest grandson saw the old man eating, his mouth kept squirming, and he couldn't bear it.

"Good, good!" The old man's family has four generations in the same house, a lot of sons, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, the food at home has long been eaten, the family has not had rice in the pot for several days, can only look around for wild vegetables, see the children around him and say hungry, he can't stand it, so a person is ready to starve to death outside, don't go back, save some food for the family, leave it for the children to eat. He has lived enough for this old bone.
