Bai Xing rang the gong for a while, and many people came out of the village, gathered at the door of his house, and their faces were shocked.

Lu Ying and Cai Wei automatically shrank behind the crowd, not letting people see any clues.

Bai Xing glanced at Lu Ying, who was smiling and holding his arms, his face was blue and red, he cleared his throat, and then looked at the villagers and said, "The big guys have also seen it, the locusts are crossing the border, and I am afraid that they will eat up our crops." Now that the weather is dry, I finally hope that the crops are ripe, and seeing that they can be harvested, these insects have come again. Gather the big guys to come over, just to take you to the field to catch insects. ”

"Oops, why are you confused?" As soon as Bai Xing's words fell, an older old man stood up with a crutch, smashed the ground with a crutch, and made a loud noise, "What kind of bugs?" Bah, that's the locust god, if you offend the locust god, it won't grow any crops in the future. ”

This old man, Cai Wei, recognized that he was the oldest in the village, in his seventies this year, and he was also the most respected member of the Li family in Lijia Village.

As soon as he spoke, the others naturally didn't dare to say anything.

Bai Xing's face was ugly, and he glanced at Lu Ying, and Lu Ying understood that look: Look, it's not that I don't go to catch insects, it's that the big guy refuses to go.

Lu Ying's eyes swept away, and he stopped on his neck awkwardly. Bai Xing was so frightened that he shrunk his neck and didn't dare to look at him.

Lu Ying's eyes also understood, that is, to ask him to find a way to persuade this old man.

Bai Xing had no other way, he still wanted to persuade, he naturally chose to persuade, but it was just a matter of a few words. If he really this boy off, and pokes his neck with a branch, he really won't be worth it.

"Third uncle, you are old, and you have also seen locusts crossing the border. Have you forgotten that so many people starved to death at that time? ”

"I, of course I haven't forgotten." The third uncle shook his white hair, stared at his eyes and said, how can you forget that unforgettable hunger?

When there was a locust plague in Xuzhou Mansion in Beizhili, he was in the prime of life, and six of the eight people in his family starved to death.

Now that he is open and closed, he is his hungry mother-in-law and a child waiting to be fed, how can he forget, he will never forget it in this life.

"Since the third uncle hasn't forgotten it, I guess you don't want to go through it again." Bai Xing's mouth was two-hit, and he poked at the pain point of the third uncle without saying a word.

But even so, the third uncle still strongly objected, "You can't catch locusts, that's the locust god, and if you catch the whole village, you will be punished." ”

Bai Xing snorted his mouth, not knowing what to say.

Seriously, it really doesn't matter to him whether the villagers starve to death or not.

His Bai Xing's daughter is a county magistrate, and his family has plenty of food, so he won't go hungry no matter what.

But when it comes to retribution, he is still afraid.

His family is in full swing, his daughter is well married, and his son is smart and cute, if he suffers retribution, he will be in trouble.

He won't accompany the villagers of this village to retribution.

He crossed everyone's black heads and looked at Lu Ying, his mouth moving.

Lu Ying understood, he was telling him that he had no ability and couldn't convince the villagers.

He smiled quietly, pulled Cai Wei forward, and turned around after standing still, looking at the big guy steadily.

Maybe it was because Lu Ying was as tall as a pine and had an elegant temperament, at such a stop, the crowd that was still noisy suddenly quieted down, staring at him one by one, waiting for him to say something.

Lu Ying hugged her fists at the big guy and said loudly, "Folks, everyone must have heard of the experience of the third uncle, catching insects or starving relatives, two roads are in front of us." It doesn't matter if it's a god or a worm, as long as it harms us, it's not a good thing. Now, please go home and get the guys you have in hand, whether it's a sickle, a hoe, a shovel, or a kitchen knife and a rolling pin, hurry up and go! ”

Finally, the word "departure" was spit out, and his hand also waved, forming a graceful and powerful arc in mid-air.

Cai Wei looked at the firm hand and sighed silently: This man really has the demeanor of a general, what does he do?

The crowd dispersed quickly, as if bewitched by Lu Ying, and ran home in a disorderly manner, and after a while, I saw men carrying hoes and scythes, women carrying kitchen knives and rolling pins, and even children wielding brooms, all running to the fields to catch locusts.

Bai Xing looked at the huge crowd, and was so shocked that his jaw was about to drop, and when he saw Lu Ying standing idly, he was busy complimenting him, "I didn't expect my niece and son-in-law to be a talented person, and my right position here should also be given to Xian." ”

"Not uncommon!" Lu Ying snorted coldly and didn't even look at him.

Cai Wei couldn't hold back her laughter, this man is too stylish, she likes it,

"...... we?" Cai Wei hesitated to go with her, but was pulled by Lu Ying, "Let's go home for dinner!" ”

Cai Wei couldn't stop laughing, this man is really a bad scenery!

However, the Five Organs Temple protested in time, and she had no choice but to go home with him.

Widow Mu was still standing at the gate, looking at the group of people who were swarming away, dumbfounded.

She clasped her hands together and muttered, "Bodhisattva bless Bodhisattva bless!" ”

Cai Wei heard it, stepped forward and pulled her hands down, and sighed, "Mother, in this world, no one can bless anyone!" ”

"Nonsense, bah, bah, the Bodhisattva forgives her sins, the little girl is not sensible, don't be like her." She panicked and quickly folded her hands again.

Cai Wei shook her head helplessly and went straight into the house.

Widow Mu pulled Lu Ying and asked, "Little Luzi, what the hell is going on?" Why is it that the whole village is not afraid of retribution? ”

Lu Ying smiled at her good-naturedly, "Mother, they are all powerful, as soon as they speak, the big guys listen." ”

He didn't dare to say that he forced Li Zheng to gather the villagers, let alone say that he said a few more words, so that the big guys went to catch locusts, so that the widow Mu was scared and asked God to worship the Buddha.

When Widow Mu heard that it was summoned by Li Zheng Baixing, she had nothing to say.

A family of three entered the stove room, served the meal, and ate silently.

Cai Wei and Lu Ying are nothing, but Widow Mu is in a particularly heavy mood.

After eating, Cai Wei took Lu Ying to the old house.

She's going to release the chickens, and it's when the locusts are raging, so she'll have to find some opponents for them.

Lu Ying thought at first that Cai Wei was really going to kill and eat these chickens, but she didn't expect to wait here.

He asked her in surprise, "Vivi, can you predict a locust plague this year?" ”

Cai Wei pursed her lips and smiled, "I'm not an immortal, how can I predict it?" It was still in June that I went up the mountain to collect medicine, and found that there were a lot of small grasshoppers, coupled with the drought, the drought was extremely locust, and I pondered to buy some chickens to raise, and it would be better to have no locust plague at that time, and if there were, we could save some food. ”

Lu Ying was even more surprised when she heard this, "You expected it at that time?" How do you know that the drought is a locust? ”

Cai Wei smiled and explained to him, "The locusts tend to be water-loving, the water level drops, the soil becomes more solid, the water content decreases, and the ground vegetation is sparse, the number of locusts laid by the locusts has increased greatly, and the locusts naturally have more locusts." ”

Lu Ying looked at Cai Wei with bright eyes, as if she was looking at a holy and holy Buddha statue.
