223 Locusts shall not eat
At this time, Wang Laoshuan looked at the porridge on the table and couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
At the same time, I regret it very much.
He knew that the price of food had skyrocketed to such an extent, and he would not cook porridge to eat.
By eating locusts, he and his son had no problem holding up for two more days.
Wang Dashan glanced at his father, and swallowed back the words that were originally in his mouth.
If you still have food for moving, don't tell your dad yet.
In the past few days, he will first look at the movements of the people in the village.
"What can I do? Take a step, look at a step. โ
"Eat." After saying a word, Wang Dashan sat down at the table.
Wang Laozhuan sighed, didn't think much about it, and sat down.
Wang Dashan picked up his chopsticks and saw the locusts on the table.
He thought about it, then got up.
And with the bowl of locusts in his hand, he went out.
"What are you going to do?!" Wang Laozhuan hurriedly asked.
"Gotta fall. You can't eat this thing! Wang Dashantou didn't reply.
It's a pity that the last chicken in the family was eaten by his mother before.
Otherwise, these locusts will not be wasted.
"Ahh Wang Laoshuan's face changed, and he quickly got up and chased out the door.
It's a pity that I saw that Wang Dashan had already poured down the locusts.
"Oops! You scumbag! That's rations! Wang Laozhuan only felt a pain in his heart. After slapping his thigh, he scolded angrily.
Wang Dashan looked back at Wang Laozhuan, but he was not angry.
"These locusts are poisonous. If you eat too much, something may happen. He said.
In the past few days, he has been feeling unwell.
I always thought it was because I didn't eat enough.
Today, after being reminded by my sister, I learned that the locusts had eaten too much and were poisoned.
Fortunately, he and his father didn't have any major problems.
Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Now, I can't eat it anymore.
"What?!" Wang Laozhuan was taken aback.
Then his expression changed again.
"Why is it poisonous? We've been fine for so many days, and there are more locusts in the village, and I haven't seen anyone have an accident? Wang Laozhuan was a little unconvinced.
"Really! Sister-in-law Song said! Wang Dashan said.
"We didn't have an accident before, it should be because we are in good health. But there are also influences. โ
"In the past few days, I have felt that I have not had enough strength, and I have a lot of pain in many parts of my body. Also, when my little sister saw me today, she said that I had a very bad complexion. โ
As he spoke, Wang Dashan looked at his father.
"I look at your situation, I'm afraid it's more serious than me. Your complexion is much worse than before. โ
Wang Laoshuan's face changed.
After glancing at his son, he couldn't help but reach out and touch his face again.
There are no mirrors at home, and now there is a lack of water, and he hasn't seen himself for a long time.
But the son's complexion is indeed very different from before.
Did he think it was because he was hungry, but he was poisoned?
Well, the symptoms that the son said, he also has.
"Reallyโtoxic?" So, Wang Laozhuan believed it a little.
"Hmm." Wang Dashan responded.
At the same time, he raised his feet and walked into the house.
"I'll lose the locusts left in the house later."
"Although there is not enough food to eat, at the moment, we can't afford to be sick." Opening.
When they are sick, they have to delay going into the mountains to collect firewood, and they can't afford to delay it now.
Wang Laozhuan thought about it, although he still felt a little pity, but finally nodded.
"Good!"
"Let's eat." Wang Dashan said again.
Only then did he return to the table with Wang Laoxuan to eat.
The father and son drank porridge and pickles, and thought it tasted excellent.
After a little rest after the meal, the father and son set off and entered the mountain together.
Although the green shade in the mountains has been damaged a lot by locusts, there is still a lot of vegetation left, and it is not so hot.
In this kind of weather, if you go into the mountains to collect firewood, pay a little attention to it, and it will not be too sunny.
This busyness is almost dark.
When I returned to the village, as soon as I arrived at the entrance of the village, some villagers called out to two people.
"Why are you two still here, the village chief summoned the big guys and asked them to go to his house for a meeting!"
The man saw that the two of them were pushing a large cart of firewood, and they were still carrying firewood on their shoulders, and he knew that they had just come back from outside, and reminded.
Wang Dashan was stunned.
"Uncle the village chief called everyone for a meeting? What are you talking about? He asked.
"I don't know! It's about to begin, so go and see! The man answered.
"Okay, then Uncle Photon, you go first. Let's go back and put the firewood and go! Wang Dashan said.
"Good!" The man hurried away.
Wang Dashan quickened his pace, took Wang Laozhuan, and hurried home.
"I'm afraid it's about escaping the famine. I heard that Sheung Shui Village, Luhua Village, and Tiangeng Village are all preparing to escape the famine. โ
"The village chief took the people of the village together, saying that they could take care of each other." Suddenly, Wang Laozhuan spoke.
Wang Dashan glanced sideways at his father.
"You want to go too?" Asked.
Wang Laoshuan's face changed.
"Don't go." But it's straightforward.
"Where is it so easy to escape? Those who lack food, clothing, and water have to travel long distances to keep moving forward, and if they get sick along the way, a small illness may become a serious illness and kill people. โ
"And you may encounter beasts and robbers on the road."
"If one is not good, your life will be lost on the road."
In fact, the reason why Wang Laozhuan is so afraid of escaping the famine is because his dead father settled in Xiashui Village, where he fled the famine.
When he was a child, his father often told him about running away from the famine when he was young.
This is why he is so afraid and repulsed of fleeing the famine.
Seeing that his son looked at him again, Wang Laozhuan continued: "They fled because the crops in the field were gone. Fearing the effects of the locust plague, the crops in the field will not be able to grow in the coming year. โ
"They can't count on anything but crops."
"But our family is different."
"The two of us are now selling firewood, although we don't earn much, but we have become a business."
"As long as we are diligent enough, we won't starve to death." Speaking of this, Wang Laoshuan was even a little more proud in his tone.
"By the way, tomorrow morning, I'll just go into the city with you and send the promised firewood to others earlier."
"When you come back, you go and send it again."
"Then in the evening, let's go into the city again."
"In this way, we can sell five truckloads of firewood tomorrow!"
After a few days of locust plague, there was a lot more firewood in the mountains.
Today, together with his son, he has collected a lot of firewood.
Although I couldn't pull it all back, I remembered the location and put it in the mountains.
Ming'er set off early and used the board car to pull it directly.
Wang Dashan was a little surprised by Wang Laozhuan's diligence.
"Good!" Smiled and answered.
went with Wang Laozhuan to release the firewood, and then went to the village chief's house.
When I arrived at the place, I found that the village chief's house was already three floors inside and three floors outside, and many people had gathered.
Wang Dashi saw the father and son and beckoned them over.
The village chief asked everyone to inquire to make sure that all the neighbors of each family had arrived.
