045 Unlucky Locusts
On the streets of Taishou, there are many shops on both sides of the road, and there is an endless stream of pedestrians.
From time to time, locusts would fly from the other side of the field, and people would crush them to death when they saw them, but they could not stop stepping on them.
If it weren't for the locust plague, the street would have been a little more lively.
Lu Jue's cloth shed is set up among the many vendors, and the people next to him are all selling some food, or picking out the radish and cabbage grown by themselves to sell.
When the people next to him saw the paintings under his shed, they couldn't help but shake their heads and advised: "In this world, it's hard to live, who will buy your paintings!" ”
Lu Jue sat on the ground next to him, didn't speak, just nodded.
"Oops, it's hot." Luo Chanyi walked over, carrying a freshly roasted sweet potato tail in his hand, almost throwing it into his hand.
Lu Jue caught it steadily, only to feel a hot palm in his hand.
Luo Chanyi blew his fingers and smiled: "No wonder it's called a hot potato, I picked the biggest one." ”
Lu Jue peeled off the skin in the middle of the sweet potato, broke it into two pieces, and the heat dispersed at once, and handed half of it to her: "It smells very good, taste it first." ”
Luo Chan's body sank, and he also sat beside him, looking at the soft yellow stubble of the sweet potato, he licked his lips unconsciously, and reached out to take it.
Unexpectedly, Lu Jue's hand was hidden, and he didn't plan to let her take it, but said, "It's hot." ”
Luo Chanyi was slightly startled and raised his eyes to look at him, so he ...... Was he going to take it for him and feed her?
Sure enough, Lu Jue's hand approached and brought half of the sweet potato to her lips, and he also looked at her with a kind of expectation in his eyes.
Luo Chanyi hesitated, didn't know how to refuse, and slowly opened his mouth to take a bite.
She could feel that Lu Jue's gaze had been staring at her, a little awkward, and even the biting movements were a little stiff.
She hurriedly took the sweet potato from Lu Jue's hand: "I'll eat it myself." ”
In the blink of an eye, I unexpectedly bumped into two unfamiliar faces staring at them with their necks stretched.
She looked at her inexplicably.
The uncle's face became embarrassed, and he turned his head to look away as if nothing happened, while the aunt lowered her head and pretended to comb her hairs on her big radish.
After combing it twice, the aunt finally couldn't hold it back, laughed out loud, looked up at Luo Chanyi and Lu Jue, and said with a smile: "Girl, have you two married?" ”
Luo Chanyi: "......"
The uncle didn't pretend at this time, he simply had a showdown, and he laughed: "Your age is really enviable, how can you be like us now, scolding the old and immortal!" ”
The aunt flew over with a slap in her eyes: "To be honest, right, every time I scold you, you scold me in your heart!?" ”
The uncle took a breath and peeked at her: "You scold alone, I'm afraid you'll be bored......"
"I'm afraid I'm bored!" The aunt picked up a radish and knocked it over, and the uncle had already predicted it, so he picked up a cabbage and used it as a shield.
Two people, one fighting, one defending, like children, very lively.
Luo Chanyi couldn't help but chuckle and turned her head to look at Lu Jue, who was also looking at her, his eyes deep but clear.
"Look, it's going to rain."
Out of nowhere, an extremely excited voice came out, and then there were exclamations all around, like a tide, one after another, for a time thousands of people were empty, and everyone looked up at the sky.
"Dark clouds, dark clouds!"
"It's raining, it's going to rain!"
"Ah, God has opened my eyes......"
Everyone jumped up for joy, children of a few years old jumped up to a height of half a foot with joy, the octogenarian lady threw away her crutches and spun in circles with excitement, and the cows and horses roared in the sky.
Only Lu Jue and Luo Chanyi were left in the same place, half a sweet potato per person, quietly watching the dark clouds like smoke in the sky getting closer and closer.
"This rain doesn't look small." She said.
He snorted: "Shahu County is high, don't worry." ”
It didn't take long for the raindrops to fall, but the people didn't hide from any of them, they took them with their hands, and the heavier the raindrops, the louder their laughter became.
In the rain, they are like a carnival.
Luo Chanyi and Lu Jue went into the shed to take shelter from the rain, what a normal move, but it seemed a little out of place.
Lu Jue looked at the continuous rain curtain in front of him, his expression was slightly stunned, deep and tenacious, and he was silent for a long time.
Finally spoke: "When the matter of Chaos Jade is over, I want to look around." ”
Luo Chanyi knew what he was thinking, let alone Lu Jue, she would feel extremely satisfied when she saw the excited expressions on everyone's faces.
As for Lu Jue, he may never have discovered that he still has the ability to make people happy.
In his heart, he has long decided that he is an unlucky person, and even if others get closer, they will be implicated, and all he can bring to others is bad luck.
She nodded, "Okay." ”
Lu Jue looked sideways at her, silent, or waiting, waiting for her to continue.
But after she said "yes", she was completely silent.
He didn't ask any questions, turned his head and continued to look at the rain, looking at the countless colorful figures in the rain.
Actually, Luo Chanyi just wanted to say that she completely agreed and was willing to go with him.
Go with him to travel through this world, in the name of a god, and do good deeds for all sentient beings.
But she didn't dare to say that, the current Luo Chanyi is not only Luo Chanyi, but also one of the many ghosts, and her coming and going is no longer up to her.
Inexplicably, a thought popped into her mind, how good it would be if she met Lu Jue while she was alive.
At that time, she had no secrets, no hometown that she couldn't go back to, she came and went freely, and her mind followed the wind.
"Over there!"
A distant voice came from the rain.
Luo Chanyi poked his head out, only to see a group of people running towards this side in the rain, and the leader seemed to be Daman.
They ran closer, and Da Man squatted down in front of the cloth shed, panting and excitedly saying, "You asked for this rain?" ”
Lu Jue shook his head lightly, not wanting to have anything to do with their family anymore.
"Look, I'll just say, they're gods, where did they get such great skills!"
The blue turban stood out of the crowd with an angry face, the turban was wet and greasy on top of his head, and it was a little faded by the rain, dyeing his forehead blue, which looked extremely funny.
Luo Chanyi snorted coldly: "It's not us, is it you?" ”
The blue turban smiled disdainfully: "Let you blind cats run into dead rats, if it's really you, why can't you be at my house?" ”
Luo Chanyi couldn't help but be angry when he saw his virtue, so he didn't talk nonsense with him, only curled his lips and smiled: "You'll know soon." ”
The blue turban saw her eyes suddenly light up, a bit like a cat in the night, emitting a purple ghostly light, which flashed and he didn't see clearly.
He didn't take it to heart, he was very happy when he looked at the rain, turned to his family and said, "Let's go, these are the two magic sticks." ”
However, he could not have imagined that just a few steps away, a pair of feet were uncontrollable and turned straight to the side path.
He knew very well that at the end of the path was a field, and it was raining, and he didn't want to go, but he couldn't control anything.
The family didn't know why, and they tried their best to call his name, but he didn't answer, so everyone had to follow.
He crawled all the way to the field, the land was extremely arid, and even if it rained, there was no water in the field, only a layer of black and crushed locusts, which were beaten by the rain and had nowhere to hide.
He threw himself on his knees at once, touched the ground with both hands uncontrollably, and finally picked up a handful full of locusts, and slowly sent it to his mouth along with muddy water.
His eyes widened, and the locust was mostly alive, rolling and struggling in his hands, and its thin legs were flicking wildly.
He slammed his mouth shut, but the more he tried to close it, the bigger it opened.
A handful of them were stuffed into his mouth, and locusts swirled in his mouth, some of which came out of the corners of his mouth and crawled up his face.
As the teeth snapped together, a stream of fishy, bitter juice burst in the mouth.
His tears flowed out, he was disgusted, and his whole stomach was churning, but his hand was disobedient, and he picked up a handful of locusts on the ground and brought it to his mouth.
"Sanga!"
His second brother ran the fastest, rushed to his side and held his hand, and he was almost stupid when he saw Sanga's appearance.
But he didn't want Sanga's strength to be much greater than usual, so he pushed the second brother away at once, and continued to stuff worms into his mouth.
"Sangazi! Samgazi ...... "The others also came up to stop it, and it became a mess.
Everyone barely held his hands and feet, but he became infinitely powerful, and if he was not careful, he would catch insects again.
"Help me, save me!" He cried out as hard as he could, but his mouth was stuffed with locusts, and he couldn't utter a word.
"Don't eat it, you'll die if you eat it like this!" The old woman held her son in her arms, and cried bitterly, pulling out the locust dregs from his mouth.
But Sanga twisted his head to dodge, as if he was crazy from hunger, and chewed heavily, his eyes red as blood.
Daman suddenly remembered something, his hands weakly let go of Sanga, his face became more and more ugly, and he whispered as if he was chattering: "It was Sanga himself who said that when they begged for rain, he ate all the locusts in the field......"
When the others heard this, everyone suddenly fell silent, except for the sound of rain in their ears, and the sound of Sanga chewing desperately.
"Go, go......" The old man came to his senses, immediately made a decision, and pointed in the direction of Taishou Street.
Daman's expression was a little dazed, but he finally understood, immediately got up, and ran quickly along the slippery and greasy field cage.
"Eating locusts, really eating locusts?" Luo Chanyi sat under the shed, looking at Daman innocently and in surprise.
Daman wiped the water on his face, and trembled anxiously: "You guys quickly think of a way, you can't see death without help!" ”
Luo Chanyi sighed: "There is a god three feet above his head, he said casually that he didn't take it seriously, we didn't take it seriously, but the gods took it seriously, when the gods were angry, it would be good." ”
She was reluctant to waste much mana, at most half a pillar of incense time.
Unexpectedly, Lu Jue had already walked out of the shed at this time and looked at Daman: "Go." ”
"Lu Jue!" She poked her head out to call him, and was instantly drenched in cold rain.
Lu Jue turned his head to look at her: "It's raining heavily, you stay here." ”
After speaking, he strode into the rain in the direction guided by Daman.
Luo Chanyi sighed helplessly, took out an oil-paper umbrella from the bamboo basket, and had to follow step by step.
