Mrs. Li even reached out and touched her forehead, wanting to see if she was not very good in her brain?

"Mother, I'm serious, even if you can't accept it, the locusts can still be used to feed the chickens, and the chickens like to eat that."

"Really? Pear, then we should have taken the chicken to the field to deal with those locusts! Old Man Bai couldn't help but speak.

"Dad, I've thought about it, but there are too many locusts, how many chickens can there be in our village? Besides, the chicken may even gnaw the wheat, what if the gains outweigh the losses? ”

"Oh, I see."

"Okay, Pear, you must be tired from running out like this, go back and rest." Mrs. Li looked at her with a loving face.

"Mother, I'm not tired for the time being, I'll go find Bai Meng and Bai Mo and let them work for me." After speaking, Bai Jinli walked out of the door.

Mrs. Li looked at Old Man Bai and asked, "Boss, how is the situation in the field?" ”

"Hey, don't mention it, listen to what the boss said, almost all the crops in the field have been eaten, and there is no harvest, I'll go to the paddy field to see what's going on later." Old Man Bai sighed.

"Is it really nothing? That's what my daughter said when she came to me the other day and told me about it. Boss, think about it, did the pear say at the time that we should harvest all the wheat within three days after the Dragon Boat Festival? ”

"yes!" Old Man Bai nodded, and continued to speak with a happy face.

"What's wrong? If it weren't for the reminder of pears, our family would have lost the harvest! ”

"Master, do you think that our daughter is becoming more and more like a lucky star?" When Mrs. Li said this, she still had a kind smile on her face that couldn't be suppressed.

"Yes, indeed." Old Man Bai pondered for a moment and nodded.

"So in charge, if my daughter says anything in the future, we can just do it, what do you think?"

"Well, I think so."

Unconsciously, Old Man Bai and Mrs. Li already had an inexplicable trust in Bai Jinli.

The people of the village cried for a long time, and finally stopped crying with the comfort of the village chief.

The natural disaster has happened, even if they cry again, what can they do?

People, you still have to keep living!

As for how to live, you have to think about it!

In addition to the food tax that will be levied soon, they are even more confused about what to do in the coming days.

In the past, they had relied on farming to make a living, but now that they are suffering from such a situation, they are all beginning to think about what they can do other than farming.

I don't know who said: "Hey, if only we had harvested the wheat in advance like the Bai family, we wouldn't have to worry." ”

"Yes, at that time, the Bai family said that the sky would change in the next few days, why didn't I believe it, I really wanted to smoke myself to death."

"Oh my God, if I could do it all over again, I would definitely take the wheat back to my house in advance, whether it was ripe or not, hey!"

"Originally, our family was going to learn from the Bai family to harvest wheat, but it was all because Zhou Quan suddenly ran out and said those words at that time, which made me doubt the words of the Bai family and did not harvest wheat."

"That is, I was also present at the time, if it weren't for the scholar who stopped us, we would all have taken the wheat home now, where would this happen?"

"yes, it's all his fault!"

“……”

In addition to incomparable regret and self-blame, the depressed people actually had an indescribable complaint and anger towards Zhou Quan.

They felt that if it wasn't for Zhou Quan's words that stopped them, they would definitely have food like the Bai family, and they wouldn't be as worried as they are now.

Thinking about it carefully, there are only a few people in the village who have listened to Bai Jinli's words, and two of them have taken half of them with a tentative attitude, so they don't have to worry about it now.

As soon as they thought of this, these people had a strong emotional gap.

It's as if they saw a hundred taels of silver on the ground, and they were very happy and wanted to pick it up, and then they told them that they couldn't pick up the money, and they would get sick if they picked it up.

They just watched as others picked up the money, nothing happened, and went to buy all sorts of things.

Then they remorse, get angry, and blame all the mistakes on Zhou Quan.

"Let's go, go and settle accounts with him."

"That's it, let him compensate us for our losses."

A group of people seemed to have finally found an outlet to vent, and one by one they gathered angrily and walked towards Zhou's family.

"This ...... Not very well, didn't Zhou Quan go to the academy in town? Besides, I don't think it's all on him. Someone spoke weakly.

It's a pity that his voice was quickly drowned out in the footsteps of those who went to Zhou Quan's family to find trouble.

At this moment, Zhou's family is also in a bleak atmosphere, they are also farming people, living on the crops in the field.

In previous years, it was because there was more land than the people in the village, so there was a little extra money, so I was able to go to school for so many years.

This year, there was a locust plague, and all the farmers in their fields had lost their harvest, and the family was about to cry and break their bowels.

At this time, an angry voice sounded outside: "Zhou Quan, call him out, he has harmed us and lost the harvest, he has to give us an explanation." ”

"That is, if he hadn't talked a lot, we would have harvested the wheat before the locusts came, how would we be in this situation today?"

"Hurry up, get him out of here, give us an explanation."

When Zhou Qinxue heard this, she hurriedly threw herself into the arms of her mother Huang, and asked nervously and scaredly: "Mother, what should I do, those people are coming to trouble my brother!" ”

"Don't be afraid, let your father go out to block it, just say that he is studying, and he is not at home." After speaking, Huang hurriedly went to another room and called out Zhou Fa.

"Master, go outside and take a look, those people are going to trouble our son."

"Don't worry, I'll take a look." After speaking, Zhou Fa opened the door, looked at the familiar faces of the villagers, and asked out loud.

"What's wrong guys? My family went to study in the town, and now I'm not at home. ”

"Not there? He has good eyesight, and as soon as we finished speaking, we went to the town by ourselves, you are his father, what do you say? ”

"What to do? What's my family doing? Zhou Fa stared at everyone and asked.

"What are you doing, can you be a father? What are you pretending to be stupid? ”

"Yes. Hurry up to the town and get Zhou Quan back, so that he can see what to do? ”

"My family is about to take the exam, and I've been very busy lately, ......"

Before he finished speaking, the person who took the lead kicked on the wall of their house first, making Zhou Fa tremble.

"It's all from the same village, what do you want to do?" Zhou Fa stiffened his hair and scolded.

As soon as his voice came out, the man in the lead seemed to be even more irritable.

"You know it's from the same village? Since they are from the same village, why do they want to harm us all? ”

"Yes. He's going to starve our whole village to death! ”

"Smashed their house."

"Do it, smash it!"

The people who followed behind were originally just watching the excitement, and the thought that they might be starved to death was inexplicably inflamed.

One by one, they were a little excited to kick the wall and slam the door.

Frightened, Zhou Fa hurriedly hid back in the house and locked the door.

"Master, what's the matter with you? Didn't you go out and talk about it? Why are you still them off? What if we tear our house down? Huang's face was full of complaints.

"Why didn't I say it properly? It's that they're unreasonable! Zhou Fa also had a hint of embarrassment and anger on his face.

"They're unreasonable, tell them! Don't forget, your son is a scholar, you are a scholar's father, you should tell them......"

"You're so good, you can say it yourself."

"I'm not going, I'm just a woman, if I go out and get beaten by them, who will pay? You don't feel sorry for me? Actually let me go out and get beaten? Okay, you Zhou Fa ......," Huang said, and began to fake crying and beating Zhou Fa.

Zhou Fa glanced at Huang with a headache, turned around and walked straight to the backyard.

He had to take advantage of this opportunity to sneak through the back door to find the village chief, otherwise it would be miserable.

"Mother, my dad is going to run away by himself, don't you care about us?" Zhou Qinxue shouted when she saw this.

"Okay, you Zhou Fa, you stop me! When is this going on, and you're planning to run on your own? What do you think of this family and our mother and daughter? Huang quickly ran up and grabbed Zhou Fa's arm.

"Let go, I'm going to find the village chief to come over and help, otherwise I'm afraid our family will be demolished." Zhou Fa was very angry in his heart, and he held back his anger and did not lose his temper with the Huang family.

"You said it earlier! Just run like a mute, who knows what you think? Okay, then you go quickly, we will wait for you at home. ”

Zhou Fa looked at Huang's instant change of face and indifference, as well as the thick disgust and complaint, and after hearing the sound of the door being kicked and broken, he suddenly shouted.

"I'm not going, whoever loves to go!"

"Hey, boss, what are you doing here? You are the man of the family, how can you ...... like this" followed by a complaint and accusation from the Huang family.

"Dad, what should I do, those people have entered our house." Zhou Qinxue covered her mouth and shouted.

"What about love, what about it? I don't care, I don't care. Zhou Fa sat on the ground, his face depressed.

In the afternoon, when Bai Jinli heard Er Fat talk about this, she couldn't help but smack her tongue.

People, it's really strange, why is it inexplicably like this......

Once any problem arises, the first thought is to put the blame on others and blame them with righteous words.

Why haven't those people thought about it, is it because they are not firm enough? Zhou Quan didn't tie them up and didn't let them move, and decided that it was obviously his own.

Even if they really harvest the wheat, if there is no locust plague, then will it be their Bai family that will be smashed next?

There are always some people who are faced with some choices or encounter things, and so on.

Although those people are only a small part of the village, they also have their own hardships, but who does not have bitterness and sadness?

Zhou Quan really did not do it right, did they do it right?

"And what happened in the end?"
