"Daddy, why do we need such a thick kite string?"

"Because our kites are big!"

"Then why are our kites so big?"

"Because, because...... Because the kite is bigger, it can fly higher. ”

"Isn't it necessary to see if the rope is long enough to fly higher? Why ......"

"Don't ask why, we'll go home!"

……

In view of his daughter's physical fitness, he specially customized a super-large kite, and the strings are the thickness of pencils, but he is afraid that if it is too small and too thin, his daughter will break it with a light pull.

"Okay, okay, fly up, fly up, daddy is great, daddy...... Oops, it's falling again, Daddy, can you fly a kite at all? ”

"Why don't you come? This kite was made for you, and I don't have enough strength to put it up. Li Yuanying handed over the kite string angrily.

Xiao Doudou stepped back with his hands behind his back, and said with a sneer: "Hehe, I can't do it either, if I let me fly it twice, the kite will break." ”

Ay...... With a long sigh, seeing Yuwen Chengdu and Li Yuanba, who were also flying kites not far away, Li Yuanying had no choice but to ask for help, "Lao Tie, Lao Tie came to help." ”

"Haha, is there a time in this world that can stump your King Qin? Look, learn a little, kite flying is very skillful. ”

In less than a moment, Yuwen Chengdu flew this special big kite, and Xiao Doudou's excited hands were red.

"Okay, put it up, let's try it?" Yuwen Chengdu handed the rope over.

Xiao Doudou still shook his head and refused, "I don't dare, I finally put it up, in my hands, I'm afraid of falling off again, Uncle Tie, you fly a kite really well, I think you can just put it." ”

Forehead...... Ah, well. Why don't you tie the rope around the neck of Little Yellow? As long as it runs, it can fly.

What? Xiao Huang, who was rolling on the grass next to him, glanced at this side vigilantly and resentfully, and then ran away without looking back, and said that I won't go, the rope is so thick, if you strangle me again, who of you is responsible?

"You guys play here first, I'll go see if our barbecue is ready, there are a lot of people today, and I have to do it myself." Li Yuanying walked towards the barbecue stall in the distance.

A few princesses of Qin here, as well as Li Yuanba's wife Princess Zhao, Yuwen Chengdu's wife, a few maids, Fang Er and Feng Er's two busy disciples, and a group of palace guys who helped, were all nervously busy. The barbecue, the soup, and the fragrance wafted for ten miles, and the Xuanjia soldiers who were standing guard around couldn't help but sniffle.

"Almost, let me fly a kite alone, my arm is a little sore, can you try to replace it? Pocket? Pouch...... Well? What about people? When did you run away? "As soon as Yuwen Chengdu turned around, the people had long since disappeared, and he said that I had been flying a kite for a long time, and no one looked at it?

No one is watching? Who says no one watches? Li Yuanba was chatting with a group of old ladies, and also teased Yuwen Chengdu, the boss is not small, but he is so addicted to flying a kite.

Xiao Doudou caught a string of grasshoppers out of nowhere, and ran to the barbecue stall with his calves to ask for help, "Daddy, look at the grasshoppers I caught, can you eat this grasshopper?" How about we also roast it? ”

Li Yuanying freed up his hand and gently scraped his daughter's nose, and said dotingly: "You snack, you dare to eat anything." But it's still right for you, this grasshopper can indeed be eaten, just roast and eat it, but the best thing to eat should be fried. Give me this, grab some more, and let everyone taste it. ”

Xiao Doudou was encouraged, and he was even happier, and he turned around and ran away after handing over the grasshopper, and was able to help cook by himself, which was very interesting.

"Doudou, this grasshopper is not right, you try to catch some green skin or emerald green, this yellow taste is not good." Li Yuanying glanced at the string of grasshoppers in her hand, and did not forget to remind her daughter.

"Got it! It's this kind of yellow, and it's rare to see emerald green! ”

"No hurry, we'...... No, why does this grasshopper look so strange? As soon as Li Yuanying shouted, he saw the grasshopper carefully, it didn't look like what he saw in ordinary fields, and he began to mumble in his heart.

"Daddy, there are a lot of grasshoppers here, all of them are this kind of yellow, and you can't find emerald green." Little Doudou ran back and complained.

"How much, so much? This kid, just a few grasshoppers, all the fuss! ”

"No, Daddy, it seems, it's like it's all over the ground!"

Help! The barbecue fork in Li Yuanying's hand fell on the charcoal grill, looking at the string of grasshoppers in his hand, his heart tightened, and he didn't have time to say more, so he rushed in the direction pointed by his daughter.

"Master, Master......" Fang Er and Feng Er were very strange, but they couldn't understand what they meant.

After a while, Li Yuanying saw the abnormally dense grasshoppers on the ground, and immediately panicked, "Come, come, prepare horses, hurry horses, this king wants to enter the palace." ”

"Daddy, what's wrong with Daddy? Isn't it the time for the imperial court to take a break today? "It's very strange to be in the little pocket.

"Locust plague, this is the grasshopper plague of locust plague! Something happened! Muttering to himself, Li Yuanying turned over and rushed towards Chang'an City, Li Junxian arranged for good people to be on duty and chased after him on horseback.

"Doudou, what did your father do in a panic?" Li Yuanba asked puzzled.

Xiao Doudou shook his head, pouted and said, "I don't know, I said that I would come out to play, and I wanted to be lazy." Hmph, what a plague of locusts! It's like it's on fire. ”

What? You repeat, your father was talking about locust plagues? It's over, something happened.

Li Yuanba stopped today's outing barbecue, arranged for everyone to go home, and took Yuwen Chengdu to follow him into the palace urgently.

The children are young and do not know what the locust plague is, but the adults present can know that the locust plague is simply a catastrophe of annihilation, in this era, the three major natural disasters, floods, droughts, locust plagues, each of which is fatal, once it happens, the red land is hungry all over the land.

In the Taiji Palace, Li Er was correcting the recitals, and felt that Li Yuanying was making a big fuss, "Wulang, aren't you too nervous, isn't it just that there are more grasshoppers than usual, how can it be characterized as a locust plague?" Moreover, if there is a locust plague in Chang'an, then why don't you see the twists and turns in the surrounding places? ”

"Second brother, I'm not alarmist, look at this string of grasshoppers in my hand, where is it an ordinary field thing, this is the species of the locust plague! If what I expected is right, there must be signs nearby, and even further afield, maybe the emergency is already on the way, and we must be on guard! Li Yuanying spoke bitterly.

Defend? Are you saying that this locust plague can still be prevented? In previous years, locust plagues occurred, it was the wrath of God, how to prevent it? The reason why Emperor Li Er was indifferent was that he didn't want to believe it, because locust plagues were different from floods and droughts, and they could not be dealt with immediately.

Li Yuanying sighed: "The prevention and control of the locust plague is in winter, and now it will be summer soon, it seems to be too late, so we can only allocate and store grain as soon as possible, and then order a strict battle to be extinguished to deal with the locusts." ”

"Report! Eight hundred miles of urgency, Longxi, Guanzhong, large-scale locust plague! An urgent and loud trumpet made Li second-hand drop the order, and the whole person was stunned, his face was pale, and he muttered, no, no......
