Chapter 112: The Locust Plague Comes

On the way out of the village, Li Dashun's family was still rushing to harvest, and when Li Xiaohan moved the rice to the ridge, he happened to see Xu Qingyan hurrying by the roadside, and hurriedly shouted: "Ayan, your land has been harvested?" It's getting dark, where are you going? ”

Xu Qingyan replied from afar: "After collecting it, go to grandma's house with my mother." ”

Zhang Cuihua, that is, the one who took Li Laohan's ox cart that day and was choked back by Xu Qingyan, heard this when she passed by, and said coldly,

"The Xu family is really crazy, there is no shadow of this, and they dare to spread it everywhere, if there is no locust plague in the end, there will be a good show to watch."

Li Dashun listened, glanced at her and said, "The Xu family just informed, whether they listened or not, it wasn't their own, but they were really fine, how could they complain about others." ”

When Zhang Cuihua heard this, she snorted coldly: "Hmph, you listen to the Xu family's nonsense now, you have harvested the crops, don't regret it in the future." After saying that, she turned around and left, she didn't believe that there would be any locust plague, she had never seen a locust plague in her decades of life!

Li Dashun was silent, and his subordinates' movements became faster and faster: "Child, let's move faster, and strive to get a good job today, so that we can sleep peacefully." ”

"Hey, Howler."

Yaoshang Village Yuan looked at his daughter who came in a hurry, and was a little surprised, "It's dark this day, why are you here, and you are still with your child, if something happens on the way.....

"Hey, mother, don't talk about it yet, have you taken our three acres of land?"

Yuan moved two stools for them, "No, I was planning to collect it tomorrow, and your father also said to take it back early to rest assured." ”

Xu Qingyan didn't expect that the grandfather who looked honest still had a sense of crisis!

"Oh, don't be tomorrow, let's go collect it now." Hu Shi said urgently.

Yuan glared, "But it's dark now........"

"What's dark, it's so bright in the moonlight, it's enough to harvest a paddy, let's go, let's go, I have to rush back tomorrow after harvesting" After speaking, he took the sickle on the side of the wall and was about to go out,

Yuan was helpless, so he had to take a rope and follow behind, and Hu rushed to the door before he remembered Xu Qingyan: "Ayan, don't go when it's dark, stay at home with grandpa." ”

How could Xu Qingyan agree, she came to help.

"No, I'm going too, I'm going to help you."

"How can you help, don't be scared this big night."

"I'm not afraid, you cut it, I'll tie you a rope."

Hu Shi was very anxious at this time, and he didn't have the strength to fight with her anymore, "Okay, okay, then you have to follow your mother, don't run blind." ”

The Hu family's side is completely dominated by the Hu family, but Xu Guangqi ran into a wall with Xu Peilan, seeing that the eldest sister didn't believe it, Xu Guangqi didn't say much, anyway, he brought it, believe it or not It's their business, and they weren't sure about it, how to convince others again.

Xu Guangqi's side, Xu Linglan was a little hesitant after listening, but looking at the second brother who came in a hurry, thinking that it would be like that if it was two days later, it would be like that, since this is the case, it is better to listen to the second brother, and take it back as soon as possible.

Xu Guangqi did not come back that night, and stayed in Hejia Village to help Xu Linglan's family.

Wu's side, after talking for a long time, saw that her father and mother and two brothers were unmoved, and they were not reluctant.

。。。。。

The next day, when Hu and Xu Qingyan rushed back to Beishan Village, the two brothers Xu Guangqi and Wu also returned.

The Xu family gathered in the wasteland in the east of the village again, but this time they harvested the sweet potato field, not just digging sweet potatoes, but cutting sweet potato vines.

Sweet potatoes are not in a hurry to dig in the soil, sweet potato vines can not be wasted, once a locust plague occurs, sweet potato vines are also treasures.

The Xu family was busy here, and under the big locust tree at the head of the village, Zhang Cuihua was gossiping with Lin Hongjiao, another long-tongued woman in the village.

"The Xu family is really self-righteous, saying that there will be a locust plague, so they will harvest the crops in advance, it is really laughing to death, and what is even more ridiculous is that there are really people who believe that Li Dashun, Zhao Quan and Qian Jin at the head of the village are really fools, if there is no locust plague in the future, see where they regret it."

Lin Erjiao covered her mouth and smiled: "That's it, if you think you've made some money, it's great, and you can talk nonsense about this kind of thing, so you can wait to be scolded when the time comes." ”

The two of you say a word, and you belittle the Xu family as much as possible, as if they are the truth.

The Xu family had just pulled the sweet potato vine back, and was about to come out to dig some sweet potatoes, when they just got out of the hospital, they heard Xu Qingyan say:

"Wait, don't move."

She seemed to hear something, Xu Qingyan stood in place at the moment, closed her eyes, and her divine sense spread out, only to hear the buzzing in her ears getting louder and louder, and where her divine consciousness was covered, a moving black line slowly appeared in the sky.

Xu Qingyan was shocked, "Dad, mother, hurry!" Go and close the doors and windows of the barn, the locusts are coming! ”

When Xu Guanghua and Hu Shi heard this, they didn't bother to ask her how she knew, and hurriedly ran to the backyard.

The villagers who were strolling outside turned pale when they saw the black lines gradually appearing in the sky, and then heard the louder and louder humming sounds.

"Locusts, locusts!"

"Oh my God, there are locusts."

"It's over, my food"

Zhang Cuihua and Lin Erjiao, who were gossiping, listened to everyone's panic, and then saw the black locusts in the sky in the distance, and their eyes widened.

"Oh my God, locusts, so many locusts."

"There is really a plague of locusts, the Xu family ........!"

"What's the use of talking about this now, ah, my food...."Lin Erjiao cried endlessly, and at this time she regretted that she didn't take back the crops.

Zhao Quan, Li Dashun and Qian Jin were very happy at this time, fortunately they heard that the Xu family had taken back the grain, otherwise this year's hard work would have been wasted.

Xu Qingyan heard the crying outside, and then looked at the black locusts, and hurriedly ran into the room, opened the window against the courtyard wall, and was about to activate the insect extermination charm.

I heard a crisp and long chirp, and there was a voice above the person's head: "Yo ......"

Xu Qingyan raised her head, the huge body of the spirit peacock was flying over her head, Xu Qingyan saw this and withdrew the insect extermination charm, and immediately chased out.

I saw that the body of the spirit peacock gradually became larger in the air, and when it became the size of the house, it stopped, and then opened it suddenly, and the beak of the bird opened, and countless locusts were sucked into its belly.

"Fairy bird, look at it, it's a fairy bird!" One of the villagers shouted,

"Look, the fairy bird has eaten locusts!"

"Sure enough, it's a fairy bird, now we have been saved!"

Looking at the suddenly appeared spirit peacock, the villagers' excited faces were red, this desperate time, the sudden hope, so that they couldn't help but shout, what's more, directly knelt on the ground, shouting: "Xie Xian Bird to eliminate the harm, Xie Xian Bird to eliminate the harm!" ”

Xu Qingyan looked at the spirit peacock that was mighty in the air, and was dumbfounded.

And this kind of operation! If she had known that it had this ability, she wouldn't have to rush to harvest the grain.

The spirit peacock in the sky looked at the cheering crowd below, and secretly rolled his eyes, it was really self-inflicted!

It's not for these mortals, these locusts are a big meal for it.

The beak of the bird with a large open mouth is a large piece when it is sucked, and after three bites, the locusts are already half gone.

After three breaths, all the locusts were devoured by it, and the villagers below saw that the locusts were eaten by the spirit peacock, and happily knelt down towards the spirit peacock, and shouted again and again: "Xie Xianniao help, Xie Xianniao help." ”

The spirit peacock ignored the grateful voice below, and as soon as the tail screen was closed, its body gradually became smaller, and it flew towards the roof of the Xu family, and the white tail screen drew a bright arc in the air.

Due to the timely appearance of the spirit peacock, the locust plague in Beishan Village suffered almost no losses, but it is difficult to say about other villages.

In particular, the villages to the west of Beishan Village are where locusts come from, and Beishan Village is by no means the first area to be affected.
