Chapter 214: Dealing with Famine 3
"Okay, okay, it's a big harvest year, it's a big harvest year, as for what I said, it's all nonsense, are you satisfied now?" Cheng didn't bother to say anything more to them, and continued to pull the soybean pods in his hands.
What does she care about the blue sky and white clouds, anyway, she just believes her family Bao'er's words.
As for them, she has already seen that they are relatives and friends, and she has informed them, even if she doesn't believe them, she loves whoever she loves.
The sunset is slowly falling, and today's sunset is brilliant.
Many villagers are pestle outside, looking at the glow in the distance, and their simple faces are filled with the joy of the upcoming harvest.
However, at this moment, the beautiful glow in the distance was obscured by dark clouds.
The sky darkened instantly.
The villagers couldn't help frowning—
"Why is it getting dark this day, and it's going to rain heavily?"
"Anyway, just don't hail, if it rains, give it rain."
If it rains, it will smash the rice into the ground, but if it rains, it will be better to cut it late for a few days when the weather is sunny and give it more sun.
"No, no, look, it's not a dark cloud at all!" A sharp-eyed villager finally noticed that something was wrong, and yelled at something that was rushing towards him.
An old man finally recognized it, and immediately cried: "It's a locust!" It's locusts! Finished! It's completely over! ”
As soon as they heard this, the villagers suddenly fell into an ice cave, and the cold was everywhere, and their eyes were dull and desperate staring at the sky, and they kept praying that the locusts would not be blind to the crops in their fields.
But the truth is......
The locusts swarmed like bandits across the border, sweeping the crops out of the field.
"Mother's crops!" Yun's scarlet eyes widened in disbelief, and he rushed to the rice field desperately, wanting to protect his crops with his flesh and blood.
Not only her, but other villagers also ran over to protect their crops.
This is not only the crops, but also the life of their rural family!
"Are you all crazy, aren't you afraid that the locusts will swallow you!" Cheng was in a hurry and shouted loudly.
By her roar, the villagers, who had lost their minds, immediately stopped, and looked at the black locusts in a cold sweat.
With so many locusts, maybe they can really eat people alive.
And their bodies are so small, even if they can protect the food, how many grains can they protect?
But Yun didn't listen, and still went to the ground, trying to drive away the locusts, but as soon as he arrived inside, he let out a painful scream and wail.
And the locusts surrounded her and gnawed her like food.
"Help! Help! ”
Seeing this scene, the villagers hurriedly picked up sticks or other tools, stepped forward to slap those locusts, and finally dragged Yun out with great difficulty.
But there is almost no good meat on her, and the bleeding and the little flesh pecked by the locusts are not miserable.
Even so, her mouth was still muttering: "My food, my food, my money...... It's gone, it's gone......"
The locusts crossed the border very quickly, and the whole process took less than five minutes, and all the crops that were bulging were left with empty shells.
A moment ago, I thought that I was going to have a good harvest and make a fortune, but at this moment there is nothing.
The villagers immediately shed tears and fell to their knees, letting out a cry that rushed to the ground.
Cheng couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Not only their village was affected, but also several provinces and cities across the country.
All of a sudden, people panicked, and prices rose wildly.
