Chapter 596 is all locusts
Shen Yi was late to the rear, and the current situation was a little chaotic.
Locusts flew all over the sky, and the grass was full of locusts, countless locusts.
"Your Majesty, I'm sorry, but I didn't take care of the grain and grass here." When Li Lanying saw the emperor, she blamed herself very much.
She is in charge of these grains and grasses, and if she has to rely on the carriage to return to Hao Yun, these grains and grasses are undoubtedly the most important things. But she never thought that these were hay locusts and would come to eat.
"I don't blame you." Shen Yichi is not a person who does not distinguish between right and wrong.
Less than half of this grain and grass remained, and this was just the border of Hao Yun, and looking at the situation here, you may not be able to have supplies. Walking back with such a thing would be a fool's dream.
Li Lanying didn't continue to speak, she knew the reason, but what should she do now.
If there is no food and grass, the horses must not have enough to eat, and then it will be a problem to move forward. Li Lanying was full of self-blame, if only she had discovered the strangeness of this grain and grass earlier, then the current situation would not have occurred.
But now it's useless to regret it, and it's happened. All that can be done now is to think of a remedy.
"Shen Dark, deal with it." Shen Yichi felt that he had a headache, how could he have encountered such a thing.
Aren't locusts generally not eating dead leaves? Maybe I'm hungry too, and now there are no dead leaves to eat.
"Yes." Shen Dian got the order, but looking at the locust corpses all over the ground, and the locusts flying in the air, no matter how he caught up, he really had no choice.
But the emperor's order has already come down, and he has no possibility of refusing. But how do you deal with this? Shen Dian felt that he couldn't think of any way when he was older.
"Cover the grain and grass tightly with a cloth, and then pat it with a sword, press the weight, and hurry like this." Shen Yichi just wanted to take Zhong Ling back quickly, such a serious locust plague on the way.
When the famine is definitely more serious, and if the famine is serious, then there must be many people who have fled, but I am afraid that there will be unknowable dangers along the way.
He can't afford to gamble, Ling'er and Rou'er are very important people in his life, and the two of them can't have any accidents.
"Okay." Shen Dian glanced at Shen Yichi gratefully, worthy of being the emperor, and came up with a solution at once.
Li Lanying carried it out very quickly, she has always felt very guilty in her heart, and now that she has a way to make up for it, she naturally will not give up.
Shen Yichi quickly returned to the carriage, and Zhong Ling was still teasing Rou'er with Qiaoxi.
Seeing that Shen Yichi was back, Zhong Ling immediately asked, "You are back, what happened just now?" ”
"There is something wrong with the carriage, but don't worry, it has been solved now, let's continue to hurry, let's go back to see Ning'er as soon as possible." Shen Yichi sat next to Zhong Ling and did not tell Zhong Ling about the locusts specifically.
"Mm-hmm, but we've come so far, I don't know if these horses can stand it." Zhong Ling began to worry, and sometimes she could clearly feel that the horse was a little powerless.
It may be that the horses are not resting well and are tired.
"Don't worry, we have now arrived at Hao Yun's border, and when the time comes, find an inn, and people and horses can have a good rest." Shen Yichi comforted Zhong Ling.
In fact, he had already told Shen Dian that this road could not be taken from the town, and it was best to take a detour and go back from the mountains.
You don't need to go in to see it, just look at the scenery along the way and you can guess that the situation inside is definitely not optimistic.
Instead of going in and seeing the impossible food, it is better to go outside and be self-reliant.
"Okay, I've been in the carriage for so long, when can I get out and breathe?" Zhong Ling looked at Shen Yichi, his expression full of anticipation.
In the past few days, she eats, drinks, and Lazar in the carriage, and even spends the night in the carriage, which is known as not blowing the wind.
But she felt that if she stayed here any longer, she might get mold, and the bones would degenerate.
"Wait until you're done with confinement." Shen Yichi looked serious, thinking about whether he should find an opportunity to strengthen the curtains again. After all, it was only simply tied with a rope before, if Zhong Ling really had that heart, he could only see the outside if he untied it.
"But, Ah Chi, I'm so bored, look at my hands and feet, they're already about to degenerate, you can't be so cruel to me." Zhong Ling looked at Shen Yichi pitifully, she really wanted to go out.
She quietly lifted the curtain of the car before, but Shen Yichi didn't know when, and she actually added an extra layer. Is this to prevent her from blowing the wind? Shen Yichi is also too careful.
"You said you should be obedient, good, you are in confinement, and you will be fine in a week, and you can go out, okay?" Shen Yichi even coaxed and deceived, if he could, he didn't want Zhong Ling to get out of this carriage all the way.
He naturally thought of a solution, and the letters were sent back one by one, as long as he returned to Kyoto, he would definitely be able to solve this matter well at that time, but he was afraid that Zhong Ling would do something halfway.
It's not that he doesn't believe Zhong Ling this time, but because she is in a special physical condition now, it is really inconvenient to stay on this road.
"You know how to threaten me with what I say." Zhong Ling was very unhappy, but she had always done what she had promised, and now she is, so she can only stay in the carriage honestly and not go out.
"It's not a threat, it's that you're really in confinement, I know you're having some hard time, but there's no way to do it, I'm with you." Shen Yichi hugged Zhong Ling, and he coaxed Zhong Ling carefully.
All right! Zhong Ling is no longer angry.
Isn't there only a week left? If you don't go out, you won't go out, and when the time comes, she can go out, and she sees how Shen Yichi still manages herself.
The group continued to move forward, but after two days of walking, Zhong Ling felt a little strange.
"Didn't you say that if you enter Hao Yun, you will find an inn? It's been so long, isn't there any? ”
"Maybe we're out of the middle of nowhere." Shen Yi replied casually.
Qiao Xi felt a little nervous beside her, did Niangniang, such a smart person, find out what they were hiding?
"Why are you walking in such a remote place, aren't our Hao Yun very prosperous? I'd like to see us halfway. Zhong Ling curled his mouth, as if he was a little unhappy.
"This is the border, the population is small, how can it be so prosperous." Shen Yichi was very calm, but his eyes glanced at Qiao Xi secretly, and the silent warning made Qiao Xi's breathing a little tighter.
She swore that she really didn't say anything to the queen, and she didn't dare to say anything to the queen, if you look at me like this again, the emperor, I may be exposed.
Qiao Xi howled inwardly, but fortunately, Shen Yichi quickly looked away.
This made Qiao Xi breathe a sigh of relief, fortunately, she was almost ruined by the emperor's eyes, but fortunately, it was okay now.
"That's not like there isn't a single store, what kind of broken road are you taking." Zhong Ling complained silently.
She still thought that she would go to the inn to go out and breathe, but there was no inn, which made her think carefully, and there was no chance to realize it.
"Let go! Help me! ”
"These are mine!"
"Let go of Lao Tzu!"
"I found these first, you guys let it go!"
The voices outside became more and more noisy, and Zhong Ling and Shen Yichi both put away their jokes, their eyes a little serious.
No matter how you hear it, it's a little strange.
"Don't move, I'll just take a look." Shen Yichi stopped Zhong Ling, and he didn't have to guess to roughly know what was going on outside.
"Then you should hurry up." Zhong Ling has always been most worried about riots, after all, famine is the most prone time to riots.
"Qiaoxi, take care of the princess and queen." The care in Shen Yichi's mouth was actually telling Qiao Xi to be optimistic about Zhong Ling and not let Zhong Ling come down.
Immediately afterwards, Shen Yichi went outside.
Zhong Ling listened to the movement outside, her heart was very uneasy, she stretched out her hand, and was about to untie the rope on the carriage and pull the curtain up.
"Queen Mother, no!" Qiao Xi saw Zhong Ling's movements and immediately spoke to stop it.
Zhong Linghu looked at Qiao Xi suspiciously, she just wanted to see how she felt that Qiao Xi's reaction was a bit too much.
"Queen Mother, you are still in confinement, you can't blow the wind, the emperor has already gone down to deal with it, you can wait with peace of mind." Qiao Xi also realized that her behavior was a little abnormal, and immediately opened her mouth to explain herself.
"It's okay, I'll just wrap this scarf." Zhong Ling took the square scarf and wrapped it around his head.
"No, the queen mother, you still don't want to watch it, you believe me, it must be fine." Qiao Xi is about to cry now, Zhong Ling really can't see the situation outside.
"I'm just a little worried, I'll just see, I won't go down, and I won't blow the wind, you don't need to be so nervous." Zhong Ling was helpless, he was just confinement, how could he be here with them, as if he was already terminally ill, this reaction was too exaggerated.
"But...... "Qiaoxi was hesitant, she was not afraid that the queen would see the situation here, but the emperor didn't want her to see the desolate scene outside.
"There's nothing good about it, just hug Rou'er." Zhong Ling frowned, a little impatient, and reached out a few times to untie the rope.
"No......" Before Qiao Xi finished speaking, Zhong Ling had already opened the curtains.
The sight made Zhong Ling dumbfounded, and he forgot to speak.
She seemed to know the reason why she couldn't even open the window these days.
How can this be said to be the land, as far as the eye can see, it is all yellow, and when the wind blows, it is the yellow sand in the sky.
