Chapter 183: Locusts

"Dad, you are in Fangshan Academy, is there a student named Chen Yi in the class you teach?" In the evening, at the table where the Zhao family was eating, Zhao Changsheng thought of what Huang Yiyun asked this afternoon, and Zhao Changsheng asked Mr. Zhao.

"Why do you ask this?" Mr. Zhao put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, glanced at Zhao Changsheng and asked.

"Today, when the eldest sister of the Huang family came to pick up the fourth and seventh brothers, the eldest sister of the Huang family, for two consecutive years, three students from Fangshan Academy came to their house to buy lanterns.

After the three of them were promoted, many students from Fangshan Academy came to their house to buy lanterns, so in the past two years, their lanterns have sold well, so the eldest sister of the Huang family asked casually. Zhao Changsheng replied.

"What did the eldest sister of the Huang family ask him for? Mo is not ....... Mr. Zhao's voice was low and inaudible.

"Well, I know, it's the students I teach Class A, Chen Yi is not a name, but his words, Li Wei is a good learner, you can try it again this year, there is a great chance that you can be a Jinshi, you can be included in the top three, I don't know if the eldest sister of the Huang family asked if it was Li Wei." Mr. Zhao replied after Zhao Mao's push.

"Oh."

........。

When I went to Zhao's house today, I didn't hear any useful news, Huang Yiyun pondered in his heart, I was afraid that I would start with Mr. Zhao, or go to Fangshan Academy in the county, find that person directly, and ask him face to face.

It's just that the county is not close to Qingshan Village, so what reason do you want to find to go to the county?

Lotus lanterns don't need to be sold at home, let alone woven bamboo products.

Huang Yiyun pondered and meditated, and after thinking about it, he still had to start with Mr. Zhao.

It's just that tomorrow will start another round of school teaching, and the next time Mu Xiu will have to be a month later.

Not yet a month, at the beginning of June, one night.

In Huang Yiyun's sleep, in the dark night, countless locusts flew from the boundless back mountain, densely covering the sun, directly rushing into the rice field, directly eating the rice, corn and other crops in the field.

In just one night, the rice was gnawed and scattered.

Seeing that I have worked hard for so long, I went to the river to carry water and irrigated the paddy fields, so that the rice would not die, and the grain was about to ripen and be harvested.

"Eldest sister, you ....... yesterday." Huang Li asked after glancing at the absent-minded eldest sister.

"Yesterday, I dreamed that locusts came to eat rice, I'm afraid it's just a day or two, what can I do?" Huang Yiyun lowered his voice and said to Huang Li in worry.

Now, after the beginning of June, the river in front of the village is only a shallow layer of water, which is no longer enough for the villagers to irrigate their paddy fields.

In many of the villagers' paddy fields, most of them are left with wet soil and no water at all.

If we continue like this, we will have to kill these rices by drought.

The sun was still scorching, and even the monkeys were calling weakly, and the trees were languishing, and the leaves were all down.

"Alas! I don't know if the people in the village will believe that there will be a drought and locusts this year, so that they can harvest rice now, and they can still save some grain. Huang Li couldn't help but sigh.

"Yes, now I'll go up the mountain." Huang Yiyun suddenly didn't know what he thought, and patted his head.

The locusts I dreamed of last night flew from the back mountains.

If it is like this, then it is clear that these locusts may not be nesting somewhere in the mountains, or laying eggs to hatch locusts.

Now, as long as you find the group of locusts yourself, and if you have evidence, you can ask the villagers to harvest rice earlier, so that all the locusts will not be eaten.

Although the rice has not yet been filled, at least some of it has grown, and it is possible to harvest some of the grain.

If you don't collect it again, when the locusts come and eat it up, it will really be nothing.

"Big sister, what are you doing up the mountain?" When Huang Li saw the eldest sister, he picked up the hat and kettle on the side, and was about to go up the mountain with the basket on his back.

"Grandma's locust ....... that my eldest sister dreamed of yesterday." Huang Yiyun gave Huang Li his thoughts again.

"This thing is done, if it doesn't work out, isn't the previous presiding officer of Huayun Temple going to be a drought and locusts this year? Now that the drought has occurred and has worked, it is not a matter of time before the locust plague happens.

When the time comes, let's preach it again, if we believe in the rules, someone will collect the grain, and if we don't believe it, we will have no choice. Huang Li thought about it and said.

After Huang Yiyun went up the mountain, he picked shady trees or thorny jungles and walked, and after climbing half of the back mountain, he never saw the shadow of locusts.

It's just that when he went down the mountain, Huang Yiyun made a god to climb into the valley he found.

Just waited for Huang Yiyun to climb into the valley.

Huang Yiyun's eyes widened.

In this valley, there were already many tall trees, and at this time, these trees were crawling with locusts as big as an adult's finger, densely packed, and if a person with dense phobia saw so many locusts, he was afraid that he would get goosebumps.

And these locusts are still crawling on top of each other, and there are even many larvae in it.

Most of the leaves on the tall trees have been eaten by these locusts.

Since March or April, when the sun began to shine, the Huang family picked a lot of bay leaves, flesh fruits, grass fruits and star anise from this valley, dried them in the sun, and sold them to the wine shops in the town.

I hadn't found locusts in this valley before, but I didn't expect that after only a month or two, this valley would become a habitat for locusts.

Huang Yiyun covered his mouth, his body slowly regressed, and crawled out again, as if making a sound would disturb the group of locusts.

After exiting the valley, Huang Yiyun didn't say a word, and ran to the house non-stop.

"Big sister, how's it going?" When Huang Li saw his eldest sister go home, he stood up and asked his eldest sister.

"I found it, and the valley we found was densely packed, with many locusts and some larvae." Huang Yiyun picked up the teapot and poured a big sip of tea.

"Without further ado, let's hurry up to the village chief's house and talk to the village chief about this. Asking the village chief to inform the people in the village is much better than going out with our family. Huang Li's face changed.

"Grandma, my eldest sister will go with you." Huang Yiyun went to the village chief's house with Huang Li's family.

Now I dream that locusts will attack Qingshan Village at night, but I don't know if this night attack will be tonight, tomorrow night, or even the night after tomorrow.

This should be done sooner rather than later.
