Chapter 296: He's There
"Cousin doesn't dare to be, Lord Zhao don't mess with relatives, this whole Zhao County has spread, we are going to suffer a locust plague here, I think, someone has long wanted to make trouble in the county government." This meal, Lord Zhao is afraid that he will not be able to eat it. Li Changshuo said coldly.
Zhao Jiu wanted to call his cousin according to Lin Vanilla, he would never give a chance!
At this time, Zhao Jiuzhong didn't expect this short situation at all, the entire Zhao County had already spread all over the county, and there were very few people in the fields who Shicai met, and he was not good at asking carefully, for fear of causing panic, and now it seems that the matter is even more serious than he imagined.
"Locust plague, are there really locusts?" Lin Xiangxiang was surprised, just when she heard Zhao Jiuzhong talk about it, she thought it was just a joke, but now it seems that it is really not as simple as a joke.
"That being the case, I am indeed entangled in official business, so it is inconvenient to disturb me." Zhao Jiuzhong smiled at Lin Vanilla, and then said again: "Don't worry, Zhong Feng won't come to you these days." β
Lin Xiangxiang was stunned, seeing that Zhao Jiuzhong had already driven away, he didn't forget to take a dog's leg: "Then Lord Zhao, you are slower on the road." β
Li Changshuo saw that her eyes had not been removed from Zhao Jiuzhong, and for a while, his face became even more stinky: "Okay, don't hurry back, my mother is still waiting for you." β
After being reminded by him, Lin Vanilla sighed, and followed Li Changshuo home.
But when she thought of the topic of suitable talents, she couldn't help but ask: "Locust plague, is it real?" β
"Perhaps." Li Changshuo said lightly.
Lin Vanilla pondered carefully, and felt that something was wrong: "I haven't seen many locusts in the fields, and there are so many rumors for no reason, but it's strange, I'm afraid that there are ghosts in this matter." β
Li Changshuo stopped, listening to what she said, it seemed like he was worried about Zhao Jiuzhong, and couldn't help but say: "This is a matter of the government, you still really feel that you have been working for two days, and you have a part in this matter?" β
Lin Xiangxiang was stunned: "Li Changshuo, how do you speak, we were born and grew up here, if there is a locust plague, we will also be affected." β
Hearing her say this, Li Changshuo felt as if he had wronged her.
Pouting, he hesitated: "Don't worry, with me, you don't have to worry about it at home." β
Lin Vanilla pondered the meaning of this, how could she listen to it, it really looked like her fiancΓ©'s tone?
He shouldn't take that supposed kiss seriously, right?
I was going to ask him, but I didn't want to, Li Changshuo had already walked quickly to the front, and he didn't mean to wait for her at all.
Lin Vanilla hurriedly shook her head, only to feel that she must have thought wrong.
She doesn't know what about others, but what is Li Changshuo's attitude and opinion towards her, can she still be unclear?
This night, when they followed Li Changshuo back to the house, Ruan and Lin Youtian had already prepared the meal.
As soon as Ruan Shi saw Lin Vanilla coming, he was down for a while: "Changshuo, if you want me to say, you have to pick up Vanilla back in the future, Vanilla is a delicate girl, how unsafe it is to come back so late." β
Li Changshuo glanced at her lightly and said lightly: "She closed the door early in the morning, who knows where she went." β
He said this very quietly, but Lin Vanilla stood very close to him, and at this time, he also listened carefully.
Frowning, she said suspiciously: Li Changshuo really went to the bunk to get her?
But this speculation was only for a moment, and she rejected it again, presumably he didn't have the time to spare, it was the boatman who went to eat and ran into the door.
Sitting on the table, Lin Youtian had already opened the bowl covered with fish, and for a while, the smell of fish came to his face, and Ruan Thi said happily: "Vanilla, you can drink a little more soup, I can add a big tonic medicine such as angelica here, by the way, there are yams, yams are still dug by your second uncle in the backyard, although it is not big, but it is also wild, stewed, very soft and glutinous." β
Lin Xiangxiang nodded, and Ruan Shi gave her another piece of yam.
Lin Youtian laughed, and couldn't help teasing: "Your second aunt just loves you, I don't eat it, I have to wait for you to come back, I can't help it,"
Ruan Shi glared at Lin Youtian, at this time, since he mentioned this matter, Lin Vanilla simply put down the dishes and chopsticks, and said softly: "Second aunt, don't wait for me to eat in the future, your body is important, you don't have to eat the child in your belly, not to mention, sometimes, if there is something delay in my shop, I can't pull away." β
"Got it, got it." Ruan's mouth agreed quickly, and he helped Lin Herb to pick up some vegetables.
Lin Vanilla suspected that she was perfunctory, and wanted to say more, but heard Lin Youtian say: "Vanilla, have you heard, there are many people outside who are spreading it, saying that our Zhao County is about to encounter a locust plague, and I don't know if it's true." β
Lin Vanilla was busy with the shop, and she really hadn't heard of it before, if it wasn't for Zhao Jiuzhong and Li Changshuo mentioning it, she wouldn't know about it.
Now, she subconsciously looked at Li Changshuo, but saw that Li Changshuo was eating with his head down, and she didn't feel at ease about this at all.
"I looked at Lord Zhao's relaxed face, it shouldn't be true." Lin Vanilla said tentatively, after all, in her opinion, only Li Changshuo knew more about the truth.
"The government knows how to deal with this matter, no matter how much we worry about it, it's useless." Li Changshuo muttered faintly, as if he was unwilling to continue the topic.
Lin Youtian nodded in agreement.
"If you want to be serious, we can buy more food and come back, the locust plague in the past few years has starved to death many people."
Hearing this, Ruan Shi was also anxious, and subconsciously touched his stomach, her child had just come to this world, and she had encountered a locust plague again, and this life was indeed a little harder.
Lin Youtian saw what she was thinking, and couldn't help but say: "Okay, damn, you are worried, even if I don't eat or drink, I will provide for you and your son." β
"Arita, what are you talking about, how can I let you not eat or drink."
Seeing that the words of the two became more and more sad, this good meal of fish and meat was not a good taste.
Li Changshuo exhaled slowly, stared at them, and said leisurely: "Don't worry, this may not be true, our Cao Gang only came back from neighboring counties two days ago, and we haven't heard of locusts." β
Lin Youtian didn't think so, this locust is fierce, who knows if there is no one day and what it will be like on the second day.
But after all, Ruan is still a woman with a big belly, and this will obviously be enough to worry, if he still tells her this, I am afraid that she will become more and more anxious.
This night, Lin Vanilla lay on the bed, and also thought about the locusts for a long time, just hoping that it would come true, on the other hand, she sympathized with Zhao Jiuzhong, his life is really not good, when the county master is the old man and returns to his hometown, there may be no wind and waves, he is good, there will be problems here for a while, and there will be problems there for a while.
I don't know how long it lasted, Lin Vanilla finally fell asleep, but this night, she didn't sleep too long, and the next day, before dawn, she went to work in the store.
The cold skin and ice powder are freshly made, and as for the potatoes, they also need to be re-peeled, and after all these preparations are done, the whole aunt also comes.
"Vanilla, don't you know, someone is burning something in the forest, the sky is full of black smoke, your uncle has to rush to drive people away."
As soon as Aunt Quan came over, she told Lin Vanilla about it, the weather was originally hot and the temperature was high, and it was possible to burn things in the forest and burn the mountains.
"If they dare to burn it again in the future, they will tell Lord Zhao about it." Lin Xiangxiang said a word, and then heard Aunt Quan sigh: "Lord Zhao doesn't care about whether to burn the mountain or not, I came all the way, but I heard many people say that they want to go to the county government to discuss the law, but I am afraid that at this time, those people have already surrounded the county government airtightly." β
Lin Xiangxiang frowned, and wanted to ask more, but then heard Aunt Quan lower her voice and said, "Isn't it because of the locust plague?" Those people went to the yamen to ask for the law. β
"Discussion? What does this have to do with Lord Zhao? "If there is a plague of locusts, then we should gather together to think about it, not to ask for explanations.
Aunt Quan shook her head, she didn't understand this either.
Lin Vanilla fried the potatoes, and when she saw that she hadn't served the guests yet, she couldn't stay any longer, so she only hastily told Aunt Quan, and hurriedly ran to the county office.
She had to go and see what was going on, and as she walked, she heard passers-by say that it was already gray on the other side of the neighboring county, and that there were locusts coming to her.
Lin Vanilla didn't believe it at first, but then after a closer look, the sky was really gray over there, and she thought about the appearance of locusts flying.
A gust of wind blew, and she turned her eyes to see that something was wrong, only to see that the gray thing was blown by the wind and disappeared out of thin air!
Then, perhaps, it is not a locust, but a Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· Smoke, yes, smoke can also achieve this effect.
Aunt Quan's words came to mind when Lin Xiangxiang was alert that the person who burned the fire on the mountain might have bad intentions, so she hurriedly ran towards the county office.
When I walked to the street of the county office, I found that this place had already been blocked.
Lin Vanilla drilled in front of the flow of people through air raids, and from a distance, he heard a loud voice from the people: "Lord Zhao, this locust is coming to our eyes, you can't do nothing, we ordinary people live on that little food, you want us to die." β
The voice fell, and another person said: "But no, Lord Zhao, if you don't hurry up and organize the harvest, as soon as this locust comes, we will really have no harvest." β
Lin Vanilla finally got out of the crowd, and saw Zhao Jiuzhong and a group of depressed people standing in front of the county government, and their faces were not very good.
"Okay, if there are really locusts coming, this year's grain harvest will be supplied to you." Zhao Jiuzhong opened his mouth with righteous words, and everyone sighed again.
They know better than anyone else about this family property of Lord Zhao's family, and since Lord Zhao has already said this, naturally there is nothing to worry about.
