It would be nice if there was a big net that could catch the locusts directly, but she quickly dispelled an idea, these locusts are not the same as the locusts in daily life, not to mention the number of locusts, and they are extremely fierce, maybe they can bite the big net.

After eating and drinking, the big guy began to wield the sickle in the field again, busy in the middle of the night, the big guy has become more and more proficient, but skilled is skilled, and it is really exhausting, especially in the palm of the hand, where the sickle is held, a very deep bar has been sharpened, and some even have broken skin.

But I thought that I didn't have to worry about food in one winter, and I could have fragrant rice to eat in one winter, so I gritted my teeth and persevered.

After a busy year, I don't want to be hungry and sleep well in winter.

The village chief and Li Zheng, as well as some elders, also knew that everyone was in a hurry to cut rice, and it was inevitable that some people would complain under fatigue, so they had been patrolling back and forth in the field to cheer up the big guy.

But the speed of harvesting rice is still uncontrollably slowed down.

By the time dawn came, the rice in the field was four-fifths of the way apart, and some of it had not been cut.

Some people are already exhausted and paralyzed in the ground, no matter what others say or cheer up, they can't straighten their waists.

"Just let me rest, rest for a while."

"I can't do it anymore, I'll rest for a while."

"Village chief, Li Zheng, you let us cut rice overnight, but we didn't see any locusts."

"It's not ......"

Suddenly, there was a buzzing sound from far and near.

The man who had been talking before he had not finished speaking suddenly pricked up his ears and sounded, and then a carp jumped up.

"Did you hear that? What is the sound? ”

The big guy heard it too, but didn't know what it was.

"Is it going to rain?"

But something seems to be wrong.

Everyone almost heard the voice, and looked at the sky with solemn faces, although they were not sure what it was, but they all had a guess in their hearts, and for a while an ominous premonition shrouded the hearts of the big guys.

"You guys, look, what's that?" Some people's terrain is higher, so they can see farther, and they are holding their heads high and pointing to the sky in the distance, dense, dark things.

"Yes, it's locusts, it's really coming!" The people patrolling the city wall were the first to make sure, and hurriedly shouted to the people who followed the city wall.

Soon one after another began to be transmitted, and after a while, the big guys knew the news that the locusts were coming.

"Quick, let's carry all the cut back home, and also, children, the elderly, hurry home and close the doors and windows."

"Everyone else, don't cut it, go home first, quickly, all go back."

"Don't you cut it, can't you hear? When you were asked to cut hard, you didn't listen, but now you give me here, what are you doing? ”

"Village chief, my family hasn't finished cutting ......"

"What's the solution, rice is important, but life is more important, let me tell you, these locusts are not the ones we usually see, they were bitten, covered in pus, and finally infected and died.

Remember, the green mountains are here, and you are not afraid of no firewood! ”

The village chief and Li Zheng shouted as they walked, and when they saw those who were disobedient and wanted to stay, they beat them hard.

Most of the people listened, but there were also a small number of people, in the past, the village chief and Li Zheng let them cut, they procrastinated and reluctantly, and muttered reluctantly while working, saying that the village chief and Li Zheng were confused.

also said that the dragon girl is the dragon girl, but Nian Nian is a child, and even listens to the words of children, isn't she old and confused, what is it?

At this time, they were dumbfounded, seeing that some of other people's families had been cut, and some had also been cut, but their family dragged their feet, and less than half of them were cut, and they were suddenly anxious.

Regardless of the village chief and Li Zheng's letting him go back, he had to let the whole family stay and cut rice.

Even seeing that the big guys were almost gone, the old man of the family knelt down in front of the village chief and Li Zheng on one knee, and pleaded with a handful of snot: "Village chief, Li Zheng, please help us, our family has been cut less than half, our family has a large population, and we eat a lot, which is not enough at all." ”

"I told you to hurry up before, you didn't listen, what are you making trouble here now?"

"That's it, when we worked hard before, you sat and talked for a while, and gossiped about us stupidly, and now what are you asking for?"

Although that was said, the village chief and Li Zheng saw that the family's rice fields were indeed harvested too little, and they were also a little unbearable.

They all live in a village, and when you look up, you don't see it when you look down, and when you count it up, it's all a family, and you still have to help if you can help.

So, those who came home late could only be left behind, and while reluctantly, they picked up the sickle and helped the family cut it again.

However, the village chief and Li Zheng did not get involved, and only asked these people to help, see that the situation was not good, and hurry home.

And the village chief and Li Zheng still have to arrange the extermination of locusts, and most of the people who have lived for a long time have experienced the locust plague, and there are also methods passed down by the older generation, so there are still some ways to exterminate locusts and fight against locusts.

"Burn with fire, the big guys have torches ready."

Li Zheng commanded the people of the patrol team and thought about it with Zhou Chengan.

When the arrangement was almost over, the people on the city wall had already come to report.

"Locusts, locusts are coming, and they are about to enter the village."

With a sound falling, most of the people went to the house to block the doors and windows.

These locusts not only eat the rice fields, but some will also burrow into the house, so we must block everything that can be blocked.

As soon as they heard that the locusts were coming, the people who had been sent to help cut the rice immediately took their sickles and went home.

The people in the house were in a hurry.

"I can't go, I can't go, I don't cut much at all."

"There's no way, the locusts are coming, we have to go home and guard our families, the women and the elderly and children in the family, we can't ignore it, if your family is willing to cut it, cut it well."

The village chief asked the family to go back together, but the family didn't listen, and the village chief had no choice but to ask the others to go back quickly.

Finally, I went and asked people to get ready, and after a while the locusts came, and they must be burned with fire.

Zhou Cheng'an's family hired people, and the patrol team took the initiative to help, so they were all collected, he sent the three children home, and went into the house to look at the lady who was still asleep, and then blocked the doors and windows, so that Rhubarb and Biao Biao also hid, and went out.

When the locusts completely entered the village, Zhou Cheng'an led everyone to wear well-protected armor and hold torches to make the first barrier on the city wall.

But even so, so many locusts still hurt when they hit the body.

And it's a drop in the bucket, you can't burn all the locusts to death at all.

When the locusts had entered the village, Zhou Cheng'an asked a group of people to stay and keep an eye on them, while he himself led a group of people carrying torches down the city wall.

The village chief and Li Zheng were still directing everyone to set fire to the rice fields for a while and burn all the locusts to death.

If you let these locusts go into the forest behind you, the forest will suffer, and if the forest suffers, the wild beasts of the forest will suffer with it.

Their village depends on these mountains, and as the saying goes, the mountains eat the mountains, not to mention that the wild beasts in the forest have helped their village at the foot of the mountain, and the tigers have carried their children.
