It was obviously broad daylight, and dense locusts covered the sky and the sun, blocking the sunlight in the sky.

Everyone's mood sank to the bottom, like this sudden dark sky.

The flames of the flames burned and fell off large patches of locusts, and at the same time reflected the gloom, sadness and anxiety on a person's face.

Smoke drifted everywhere, and the crops in the fields were gnawed down to bare crooked stalks.

The rhythm of the gong beating against the locusts also slowed down, faintly with a little indescribable grief and hissing.

The locusts have finally been driven away, or rather, they have completed their mission here and have flown away in large swaths.

In addition to the locust carcasses on the ground, there was a special smell of roasted animal carcasses in mid-air.

Obviously, it has only been more than half an hour since the locusts flew here, and large areas of crops have been gnawed and devoured.

Only ears of wheat hanging scattered on the branches, swaying lonely.

The smell of burning things in the air was accompanied by the smell of barbecue, which was a little pungent, but people at the moment didn't have time or mood to care about that.

Their faces were heavy, their eyes were incredulous and desperate, and their eyes became confused and helpless.

One by one, the torches had been extinguished, the things that had been lit had been extinguished, and the smoke had not yet cleared, but many people began to shed tears.

After a year of hard work, every day before dawn to the ground, exposed by the wind and sun, seeing that the wheat is about to be harvested, and soon to have a bumper harvest and a short good life, the locusts are coming......

So many locusts are like strands, and when they are connected, they become a lifenet that covers everyone.

"Oh my God, is this true? Is it dreaming? ”

"How can people live, how can they live!"

"It's gone, it's all gone, it's nothing!"

The frowning brows, the crying faces, and the bursts of hysterical cries sounded in the ears, making the original atmosphere more and more heavy.

"Oh my God, what did we do wrong, and why did you punish us like this?" One of them fell to his knees crying.

"God, you're not going to give us a way to live."

"What can we do with that? How can I live this day, I don't live anymore! ”

“……”

More and more people fell to their knees and cried, which was really sad to see.

"Big brother and second brother, let's go back." Bai Jinli whispered.

"Well, let's go, my mother is worried about you at home." Bai Yiyi, who sent the old man Bai home and returned, spoke.

"Let's go." During the day, Qi spoke in a deep voice.

Bai Meng and Bai Mo, the two little guys, were infected by the atmosphere of the scene, with tears in their eyes, and followed silently without making a sound.

Wang Tiezhu and Er Fat also frowned, and followed them back without saying a word.

"Uncle Tiezhu, Erfat, go back and take a look, I'm afraid my aunt is crazy." When he walked to the fork, Bai Jinli spoke.

"Well, Jinli, we'll go back first, if you need us, call at any time, we're all here." Wang Tiezhu glanced at her and said.

"Well, if there is something, you will definitely be indispensable."

Hearing Bai Jinli say this, Wang Tiezhu barely had a trace of stability in his heart.

His family's land was sold, but he sold it for a little money, and he didn't have to bear such a big loss.

But the days that followed were still unsettled, and he was particularly afraid of idleness. Once he was idle, he began to be confused about the future.

"Okay." Wang Tiezhu nodded and went home with Erfat.

After Bai Jinli glanced at the backs of their father and son, she also turned around and continued to walk back.

Just because Wang Tiezhu was able to take off his clothes and cover Old Man Bai at such a critical time, Bai Jinli decided that she wanted to help him more.

Kind and selfless people should be treated gently.

Before a few people reached the door of the house, they saw Mrs. Li running this way in a panic, followed by Old Man Bai.

After seeing Bai Jinli, Mrs. Li plunged into her, took her hand and looked around, and asked nervously.

"How's it going, girl, are you okay? Have you ever been gnawed by locusts? Is it itchy or not, is it painful? ”

"Mother, I'm fine, intact, not a single hair has fallen out!" Bai Jinli looked at her nervous and worried look, and hurriedly spoke.

"Okay, you pear, the more you grow up, the more capable you become, right? So what do you run out of when it's dangerous? Just run, your father and they have all found it, and they won't come back to stay outside, do you want me to worry about death, ah! ”

Mrs. Li patted her shoulder twice angrily, scolded her while patting her, and hugged her and cried as she spoke.

"Mother, I'm sorry to worry you, I'm really fine." Bai Jinli hugged her back and comforted her.

This is the first time that Mrs. Li has spoken cruelly to her since she grew up in her memory, and the first time she has beaten her.

However, the force that hit her fell on her body like a tickle, but it contained a lot of love.

Bai Yi, Bai Qi and Bai Meng have long known that Mrs. Li favors Bai Jinli alone, and they also had a trace of dissatisfaction and jealousy in their hearts.

But that's the case, and then they got used to it.

But now, seeing Mrs. Li holding Bai Jinli and crying, they are not jealous, and even feel that Bai Jinli who is being held in Mrs. Li's arms should be cherished in her hands.

"Okay, old woman, my daughter and Providence are also tired, you let them go back and rest first." Old Man Bai reminded him on the side.

"Yes, yes, let's go, girl, let's go home." Mrs. Li hurriedly let go of her, and took her hand and walked home.

"Providence, Wonder, what's going on in the ground?" The old man Bai, who was walking behind, asked.

"Well, almost all the crops have been eaten by the locusts, and everyone has not gone home, and they are kneeling in the ground and crying." Bai Yi sighed heavily.

"Dad, thanks to listening to Pear's words, we took the wheat home early, otherwise we would have been the ones who should cry now." Bai Qi patted his chest, a little afraid.

They had just finished harvesting wheat at noon the day before, and the next day they were hit by a plague of locusts.

The day before, he was still suspicious of what Xiaomei said, and felt that there could be no accident on such a hot day.

It was only at this moment that he really felt emotional.

Luckily, it's really a blessing!

"Humph! At the beginning, you talked a lot, but you didn't mean that your sister was talking nonsense, but now you know. Old Man Bai glared at him.

Because the second child was dissatisfied with the early harvest of wheat, he was lazy when he was working in the field, and he was kicked a lot.

If it weren't for him staring, and Wang Tiezhu and Er Fat came over to help, their wheat would not be able to be harvested now.

"Yes, yes, Dad, I was wrong, what my little sister said is right, and I will never question her words in the future." Bai Baiqi hurriedly begged for mercy.

Fortunately, he didn't bet with his little sister, otherwise he would have gone outside to run without clothes.

Now the people in the village are in a bad mood, and if he goes out like that, he will definitely be killed.

"Hmph, be kind to your little sister in the future!" Old Man Bai couldn't help but scold him.

"Got it, Dad." Bai Qi nodded.

In the past, Old Man Bai couldn't get used to Bai Jinli, and he also told Mrs. Li in private not to be too used to her daughter, but she was scolded by Mrs. Li once she said it.

Over time, he became numb, rarely talked to his daughter, and rarely paid attention to her.

But the current girl is really good, giving him gifts, buying food for their whole family, and worrying so much about his safety, which makes Old Man Bai very moved.

No wonder his old wife kept telling him that when his daughters grew up, they would bring blessings to them.

That's true.

"Bai Meng, Bai Mo, what is that thing in your hands?" Look at the capture net in the hands of the two of them and follow the big! Sack, Old Man Bai asked curiously.

"This is a locust caught by my sister-in-law."

"What? Locust? What does a pear do when it catches a sack of locusts? Do you want to eat or what? Old Man Bai couldn't figure it out.

"We don't know, sister-in-law told us to bring these things back."

"Okay, I'll ask in a moment." The old man walked home with his hands behind his back.

After going back, Zhang asked her how she was with a worried face, Bai Jinli said that it was okay, Bai Meng and Bai Mo were fine, nothing happened, and Zhang immediately put his mind at ease.

"Mother, what about my second sister-in-law and Jasmine?" Not seeing those two people, Bai Jinli couldn't help but ask.

"The two of them? I beat him up and drove him to the backyard to feed the pigs. As soon as Mrs. Li heard Bai Jinli mention the two of them, she immediately spoke angrily.

"What's wrong, mother?"

"What's wrong? You said that such a noble person as my daughter could go out to find her father and eldest brother at such a time, and they were both good, hiding in the firewood room and not coming out, as if they were afraid that the locusts would eat them. ”

"And Ah Pear, didn't you let your sister-in-law and sister-in-law go out to inform the others when you left? Your second sister-in-law's lazy cowardly didn't go at all. ”

"You said that like them, I didn't kill them, which is kind." Mrs. Li's eyes widened as she spoke, and she wanted to copy the stick again.

"Forget it, mother, don't care about them, you sit down and rest for a while." Bai Jinli helped Mrs. Li sit down and poured her a glass of water.

Although Mrs. Li has been staying at home, she is worried about her all the time, and it is no better to be worried than outside.

As for the village chief and those people in the village who were able to quickly carry torches to the field, it was all due to Zhang's work.

Soon, Old Man Bai also walked into the house, looked at Bai Jinli and asked.

"Pear, what did you ask Bai Meng and Bai Mo to catch a sack of locusts?"

"What? Girl, are you still catching locusts? Are you crazy? Mrs. Li also looked puzzled.

"Mother, do you think I'm crazy?"

"Not really." Mrs. Li shook her head.

"That's right! Let me tell you, locusts are edible, and when you bite into them, they are crunchy and delicious. ”

After she finished speaking, the expressions on the faces of Old Man Bai and Mrs. Li instantly froze......
