172 Insect plague
Fantasy fans, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the small landlord of the attack!
Remember for a second No pop-ups
At this time, a lame old man squeezed over, skinny as wood and full of silver hair, his teeth were all gone, and he fell to the ground at once, trembling and said: "Please, beg Mrs. to eat......
Looking at the turban on his head, it is obviously the dress of the southwest, at such an age, I am afraid that he has begged all the way.
"Poor one," Qin frowned slightly, and waved his hand holding the handkerchief: "Give them all the silver." ”
When these homeless people heard this, their eyes lit up in gratitude, and they all bowed down to her.
Ye Jingqing looked at the jubilant energy outside, and helplessly held his forehead with one hand. Seeing this, the Qin family couldn't help but say: "It's my own silver, isn't it my second sister-in-law who can't see it, and she also wants to get a copy?" ”
Ye Jingqing was ridiculed, pursed her lips and didn't say anything, Pei Changxi couldn't look at it, and wanted to scold the Qin family, but she stopped her in time.
Anyway, if people want to be kind, no matter what, it is the blessing of the poor people outside, how can they stop her, I just hope that it will not become bad things later.
The coachman got the order, and immediately stepped forward to open the money bag, and gave it to the lame old man first, and then to the lady of the vegetable basket...... A dozen pieces of silver, under their scrambling pushing, were distributed in less than two clicks.
The man who had taken the money went away happily, and the people behind him, attracted by the movement, had not caught anything, and wept bitterly at the shriveled purse in the coachman's hand.
"Madame! Pity and pity us, homeless, all the way to here, the youngest son has already starved to death on the road, I ...... I cough cough cough cough cough ...... "A black and thin man has a rickety back, scolding himself for not being a man, unable to support a family, and beating himself with his fists, which makes people unbearable.
More than a dozen people had already left, and more than a dozen people came, each more miserable than the other, and they came forward to cry around the coachman.
The coachman had never seen so many people selling miserably in front of him, and he took two steps back in a daze, not knowing what to do.
Looking back at the carriage, the Qin clan who was lifting the curtain was looking at this side, and he was also stunned at this time, so he simply pushed aside the crowd and ran back to the carriage.
When the group saw that the coachman had run away, they hurriedly followed them to the carriage, and put their little windows on the carriage and begged the young lady for mercy and a few pieces of silver to live.
"This ......" Qin couldn't help but shrink back, and raised his voice: "It's too rude for you to be like this, there is no silver in the money bag, and I can't ...... it."
"Kind lady, look at my child, if he goes on like this...... a woman cried, and lifted her child forward.
The children, who were about two or three years old, had red, swollen and inflamed eyes, and even drooped yellow thick water, which was particularly terrifying to look at. The Qin clan was so frightened that he didn't scream, and he shrank back.
"Get out of the way, let everyone get out of the way!" The coachman swung them as hard as he could, but to no avail.
Pei Changxi had a headache on his face, turned his head and asked Ye Jingqing: "What should I do now?" ”
Ye Jingqing nestled in the carriage, watching them almost tear the curtain of the carriage, and said expressionlessly: "I don't know either." ”
The world suffers, and you have mercy on a few. The rest of the poor people will inevitably rush at you, and no one will think that you don't owe them, they will only feel that you owe them unjustly.
A dozen people rushed up, crying, and many of them were crying loudly, which overwhelmed the eldest lady and the second lady in the carriage in front.
I don't know who still shouted that they wouldn't want to enter the city without giving money, and the situation became more and more panicked, not only their carriage was surrounded, but also the people waiting to enter the city were also frequently disturbed.
"This is difficult...... Mrs. Yi looked at the longing faces, and she really couldn't say anything to drive people away.
Because of the proximity to the city gate, the eldest lady had to send someone to ask for assistance from the officers and soldiers guarding the gate, so she couldn't just be stopped and stuck here, right?
Not to mention that they don't have so much money in their hands, even if they give them all the money, what if they attract more people? Giving to these people and not giving to those people, favoritism over one over the other will attract public outrage the most, this is the human heart!
The group of officers and soldiers came over with three people, and when they heard that it was the carriage of the Pei family, they showed their goodwill, and immediately waved their spears and began to drive people away.
"Go away, go away! You people! People reward you with a few silver coins because of that bodhisattva's heart, but they don't owe it to you, so why don't you block the way if you don't give money? Heavenly King Lao Tzu didn't pay this attention! ”
The wielded spear glittered in the sun, and the bright, sharp spearhead forced the outcasts back.
"I'm going to hit someone!"
Two of the little black dolls were so frightened that they cried loudly: "Wow woo woo...... Mother's ......"
"Be careful not to hurt anyone!" Mrs. Yi watched from afar, anxious.
Qin Shi was even more stunned, she didn't expect that the original good intentions would be like this.
Fortunately, there were officers and soldiers guarding the city gates, and a group of ordinary people dared to be presumptuous, and only at the instigation of hunger did they muster up courage and strengthen their courage, and they were dispersed after a while.
The carriage was able to enter the city safely, and after this small episode, Ye Jingqing became more aware that the problem of displaced people was becoming more and more acute, and something big would happen sooner or later.
Back at home, the Qin family was reprimanded by the second lady, and the good deeds in the family were arranged by Zhang Luo, and the Pei family set up a porridge shed every year to accumulate virtue and happiness, and did not bother her to scatter wealth at the gate of the city like this.
Qin Shi grabbed his handkerchief and obediently admitted his mistake, while raising his eyes and glancing at Ye Jingqing, he felt that he had lost face, and his expression was slightly stiff.
Ye Jingqing was not interested in seeing her being taught a lesson, so she went back to the courtyard to rest first.
It is estimated that Pei Yan should come back when he goes out, and he said before that the preparation of broken rice is smooth, maybe this will become a life-saving food for the homeless.
had nothing to do, Ye Jingqing couldn't sit still in the courtyard alone, so he simply walked to the Baiwei store to see if Ye Zhifeng was there.
Now that everything in the store has been taken over by the shopkeeper, Ye Zhifeng does not come every day, and looks for another shop in the west of the city.
Coincidentally, they were caught by Ye Jingqing, and the brother and sister found a teahouse to eat tea and talk about things.
"Why did you get blacked out like this?" Ye Jingqing opened his eyes and looked at him.
However, after not seeing it for a while, Ye Zhifeng was darker than one degree, and he came back from exposure to the sun.
"What's going on outside, doesn't my sister know yet?" Ye Zhifeng smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "Tianxin Village is not bad, at least the water source is still sufficient, and other places can see the lack of water in rice." ”
Ye Jingqing frowned: "If there is really no way, this season's rice will not be wanted, don't exhaust your body for the field, in the end it will not rain or get nothing, it is not worth it." ”
"I know how to measure," Ye Zhifeng analyzed: "The well water in each of their homes is enough for people to drink, even if the water level of the river drops, it is necessary to irrigate the fields diligently, so that there will not be no harvest." ”
It's just that it's going to be very tiring, a load of water is dozens of catties, more than a dozen trips a day, and under the scorching sun, the iron body can't stand it. Not to mention the blisters on your shoulders and the thick calluses on the soles of your feet, the pain that can keep you awake at night.
Ye Zhifeng's words changed: "Let's not talk about watering, now I find that the insects in the field are increasing day by day, I'm afraid it's ......."
Ye Jingqing was stunned: "Bugs? ”
Just when people thought that water scarcity was harsh enough for crops, grasshoppers quietly showed their presence.
Grasshoppers, also known as locusts, can jump and fly, feed on plants such as grasses, and the dry climate allows them to reproduce very quickly. Before everyone knew it, many eggs had been buried in the soil, and once hatched, they were overwhelming!
Seeing that the seedlings that had worked hard to carry water to feed were about to bear ears of rice, how could they be spoiled by these insects, so in addition to carrying water, the farmers had another job - catching insects.
It's just that carrying water is already an individual job, and everyone is extremely tired from going out early and returning late every day, so how easy is it to catch insects? I don't know how many locusts there are in the fields, and I don't know how to get tired, and I come out every day to make trouble, which makes people tired of coping.
"Those grasshoppers have a good appetite, brush and eat all your leaves, and if you continue like this, sooner or later there will only be bare grass stalks left in the field!" Ye Zhifeng's tone was full of helplessness, there were more than ten acres of land at home, and when he encountered this kind of thing, it seemed that he was understaffed, and he was really worried.
Ye Jingqing was dumbfounded when he heard this: "There is such a thing? ”
Although I had heard of the power of the insect plague before, I had never seen it with my own eyes, but now it seems that it really deserves its name. It's just starting to gain momentum, and it's already terrifying.
"So what now?" There was a drought and a pest plague, and she could hardly imagine what else she could do with this season's rice.
"Our family is better, the fields do not produce grain, and they will not starve to death, but it is difficult for other families to say...... "Usually there are few people in the family who have few deposits, and there is no harvest in a season, but the days are tighter, but it is not much of a hindrance, except for the ...... Ye family.
The Ye family was already cleaned, and except for the little bit of clothing on their bodies, there was nothing valuable. Now Tao Yun and Ye Furong have run away with that cousin, Ye Zhihe's entanglement has not been settled, the old lady is still sick in bed, and the daily decoction is maintained, and the family's livelihood is a problem.
"They're coming for you again?" Ye Jingqing asked.
Listening to the steward, Ye Jiayu came to Pei's house twice, and asked to see Ye Jingqing by name, but he was sent away by the doorman. Since Ye Furong stole the beam and changed the pillar in a vain attempt to marry in her place, who doesn't know the Ye family?
Such a shameless person, who abandoned his wife and children many years ago, and later connived at the concubine's mother and daughter to be domineering, and now that he sees that others are living a good life, he is embarrassed to turn around and say that he recognizes his daughter?
Ye Zhifeng nodded and said, "I'm not afraid to find me, I'm afraid to secretly go to my mother." ”
They couldn't be more aware of the family's cheekiness, what else could not be done?
Ye Jingqing couldn't help but think of what Pei Yanzhi said, how can the blood relationship be broken, especially when one party doesn't want to break it, you can rely on you with a dead skin and a face. Maybe sending them away is the only way to end the trouble......
