Chapter 588: Locust Plague
A few people walked on the road, shopping actually lost that taste, looking at the situation in front of her, Zhong Ling directly said that she wanted to go to the farm last time to catch grasshoppers.
After all, Qiao Xi didn't come with him this time, and no one here was afraid of grasshoppers.
This can be regarded as making up for Nalan Youruo's regret last time.
"How? Let's go over and take a look. Zhong Ling calculated the time, he hadn't been to the farm for more than a week, and the grasshoppers in it might have grown almost.
They must have been fat girls in the past.
With this idea, Zhong Ling wanted to go even more.
Zhong Ling was so interested, who else would refuse her request, and they all went together.
Along the way, Zhong Ling was like a cheerful sparrow, teasing Nalan Youruo there.
She could see that Nalan Youruo was unhappy, but she couldn't say it clearly, so she could only find a way to make the girl in front of her happy.
Nalan Youruo is not a grudge, and soon forgot everything, and continued to talk with Zhong Ling hotly, which also forgot that he was planning to go back.
"Wow! Zhong Ling, look, there are so many grasshoppers, every big event here is so big, it looks so fat. Nalan Youruo looked at the grasshopper in front of him and was excited.
She really likes grasshoppers, they feel crispy and crunchy, and they are very delicious.
"Yes, you can catch it casually, let's quickly make a fire and eat it." Zhong Ling was also very excited.
She was also greedy.
Shen Yichi looked at the grass in front of him, his eyes full of contemplation.
"How do I feel it's wrong." Shen Yichi spoke up, but he still couldn't stop the movements of the two snack goods.
The two of them were about to start a fire with a very quick movement, and it was difficult for Zhong Ling to come over to help with a belly that was almost nine months old.
When Li Gang saw it, he didn't dare to let Zhong Ling do it, and immediately went over to help Nalan Youruo.
Soon, the scent began to shine through.
Zhong Ling took a sip, it felt very fragrant, she actually felt that she couldn't help but eat the half-baked look.
However, this bug is wild, and it must be roasted.
With this thought, Zhong Ling controlled his impulse and didn't let himself start eating at once.
Zhong Ling's appearance made Shen Yichi cry and laugh, but it was just a grasshopper, how did he feel that her saliva was already about to flow to the ground.
"Little gluttonous cat." Shen Yichi helped Zhong Ling roast the grasshopper, and let Zhong Ling stand on his own, after all, Zhong Ling was a pregnant woman, and it was still a little difficult for her to squat down completely now.
"Roast quickly, don't be distracted, it'll be baked when the time comes." Zhong Ling patted Shen Yichi and didn't allow this man to be distracted.
In front of food and men, she decisively chose food.
After all, there is only food in the world that cannot be disappointed.
"Okay, just wait and eat, I'll definitely help you bake it fragrant." Shen Yichi is full of spoiling, even if he is distracted, this grasshopper can be roasted in the same way, but Zhong Ling is so greedy now, he is afraid that if he teases her again, she will cry.
A pregnant woman sometimes looks like a child, and as long as she is coaxed, she is very obedient.
"Uh-huh, bake it." Zhong Ling nodded.
Continue to talk and laugh with Nalan Youruo.
Of course, Nalan Youruo is roasting, and he can only envy the two loving people in front of him.
They are really happy, and if you look at yourself, you really don't know where your happiness is.
The two chatted, Li Gang and Shen Dian didn't feel much about this, but they still roasted seriously, after all, there were two people to eat.
"Alright." Shen Yichi brought the golden grasshopper roasted in his hand to Zhong Ling's mouth.
He's been blowing for a while and it's not too hot now.
To be honest, Shen Yichi's details are really not picky.
Zhong Ling's eyes were full of light, and she took it very happily and took a bite.
Very delicious.
I love it so much.
However, after the first bite, Zhong Ling spit it out and couldn't swallow it.
There was a churning in my stomach and I was full of nausea.
She really didn't mean to, but the grasshopper that originally smelled good became a little disgusting at this moment.
She couldn't eat anymore.
"Zhong Ling, what's wrong with you?" Nalan Youruo looked at Zhong Ling's state and was a little worried.
Why did she throw up when she was so good?
"I'm fine, I just feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach, maybe it's a pregnancy reaction, you eat first, I'll go to the side for a while." Zhong Ling was actually quite embarrassed.
I said it myself when I came to roast locusts, but I actually ruined my fun. It's really a bit of a bad look.
"Then be careful." Of course, Nalan Youruo felt that this sentence was redundant, after all, Shen Yichi would definitely follow her and would not let her be in danger.
"I'm fine, you eat." Zhong Ling and Shen Yichi went to the side together.
Zhong Ling actually likes this kind of place very much, it looks very empty, and his mood is also very good, but there are a lot of insects in this grass.
Zhong Ling looked at the grass, and after a while, his brow furrowed.
It looks like something is wrong.
"Ah Chi, do you see that there are a lot of locusts here?" Zhong Ling looked at the locusts one by one, and felt a little uneasy in his heart.
"I've also noticed that it's normal to have locusts in the meadows, but it seems a little strange that there are so many at once." Shen Yichi looked at the locusts all over the ground, he had a guess, but he was afraid that Zhong Ling would worry, so he didn't say it.
"It looks like a locust plague is about to happen." Zhong Ling's expression was serious, this was not a joke at all, it was true.
Nature has a law, and if there are so many locust plagues at once, it is not a good thing for people.
"Although there are many, but this is not necessarily, I just looked at this grassland, and there are more locusts here, and there are not so many other places." Shen Yichi naturally found out earlier than Zhong Ling, and he also went to investigate seriously.
"Not necessarily." Zhong Ling was still a little uneasy, and always felt that this matter was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.
Naturally, this matter could not be settled like this, Shen Yichi and Zhong Ling checked the number of locusts around here.
Secretly calculating in his heart.
Nalan Youruo and Li Gang were roasting locusts here, I don't know if they were in a bad mood, or what, Nalan Youruo also felt that the locusts full of fragrance were actually not so delicious, but they simply ate a few bites and never continued to eat.
"How do I feel that there are too many locusts here, when we were in Miaojiang, we didn't have so many locusts when we went to Locust Valley." Nalan Youruo looked at the scene in front of him, and the expression on his face was also very serious.
"What is Locust Valley?" Li Gang bit a locust, looked at Nalan Youruo, and fully exerted his spirit of asking if he didn't understand.
He didn't dare to speak much before, for fear of making a mistake, but in the past few days, he has been chatting with Zhang Yang, which has fully thickened his face.
This person's face just can't be too thin, otherwise he won't be able to communicate with people well.
"It's where the locusts are the most." Nalan Youruo explained simply, and his gaze continued to focus on the grassland.
Li Gang nodded, and then began to continue to eat the locust, after all, it was already roasted, and it couldn't be wasted.
The more Nalan Youruo looked, the more worried he became, so he walked over and told Zhong Ling about the situation.
"Zhong Ling, I feel that there are a bit too many locusts here."
"That's how I feel, too." Zhong Ling looked at Nalan Youruo, she also thought the same, but she didn't know what to do about the situation in front of her.
After all, these times are different, there are no drugs.
Physical methods alone can't actually destroy these locusts.
There are locust plagues, they have always been, but they won't be so serious, but this time it's different.
"If my hunch is correct, this could be a plague of locusts." Nalan Youruo grew up in the grassland and is very sensitive to locusts themselves.
There is a reason why Miao Jiang eats locusts, in addition to being delicious and fragrant, in fact, it is also artificially controlling the growth of locusts and preventing locust plagues.
"You deal with bugs a lot, is there any way to prevent it?" Zhong Ling looked at Nalan Youruo, she naturally wouldn't want a locust plague to happen here.
After all, she is about to give birth, and if there is a locust plague, the grain will definitely fail, and when the time comes, I am afraid that there will be no good food for the birth of her own child.
Nalan Youruo shook her head, she couldn't help it, this was a disaster given by God, if God didn't stop, they could only bear it.
"In the evening, I will go into the palace to discuss with the king of the burly country." Shen Yichi reassured, not wanting Zhong Ling to worry about this matter.
"That's all it can be." Zhong Ling nodded, natural punishment, she also had no choice.
I can only ask Shen Yichi to talk to the king and discuss it to see if there is any way.
Seeing that it was about to be a plague of locusts, Nalan Youruo left the burly country early the next morning.
She also brought a lot of sweet potatoes and potato seeds with her from here, and Zhong Ling also lent two people to her. Not only to bring seeds for her, but also to let Nalan Youruo go back safely.
And so, under their fears, the locust plague broke out not long after.
As they thought, this was really a disaster, but what they didn't expect was that this locust plague was worse than they thought.
It can be said that this is the first time in history that such a disaster has occurred.
There is no grain harvest, which makes many people hungry.
Zhong Ling is about to give birth, fortunately, he has some food before, but it is not much, and he will not dare to eat like that.
"Ah Chi, let's hurry up and write back to ask my father to stock up on more food." Zhong Ling looked at the people on the street, and felt very unbearable.
The locust plague is ruthless, and if this kind of disaster happens to Hao Yun, then how difficult it will be for his own people to live at that time.
They can only prevent problems before they happen.
"I'll write it right away, don't worry too much." Shen Yichi looked at Zhong Ling holding such a big belly, and he was still here worried about it, he felt that he was frightened.
