"What are you looking at, so engrossed, you didn't even notice when I came in." Jiang Zhi entered the room for a long time, and when he saw that I was still holding the book in a daze, he asked out loud.

"Today, my girl is not well-behaved, come and say hello to Dad." Jiang Zhi stroked my stomach as soon as he got into bed, and said stupidly to my stomach.

This action is their father and son's favorite action recently, and Han Han is too, every time he sees me, he will touch my stomach first, and say hello to his sister inside before he pays attention to me. Why do I think that giving birth to a girl is not getting along with myself, this is not born yet, my status has plummeted, hey!

"Your girl is very good, but your girl and her mother are not very good." I said smirkedly.

"What's the matter, our big baby is eating the vinegar of the little baby again." Jiang Zhi took off his shoes and went to bed to lie next to me, and I naturally found a comfortable position on him and continued to nest.

"No, I'm worried about this." As I spoke, I handed the book in my hand to Jiang Zhi and asked him to read it for himself.

Jiang Zhi took the book and looked at it, knowing what I was worried about, he took the book and looked at it carefully, and I added some of my own opinions next to it.

"It's the last thing I've ever known, and I'm worried. At that time, in my dream, I saw locusts coming at me and passing through my body. "I shuddered as I thought back to my dream.

Jiang Zhi hugged me tightly with one hand and comforted: "Okay, okay, don't think about it, your current body is not suitable for worrying about these things, don't worry." It's all with me. ”

"It's okay, my body I know, I'm not one of those flowers in a greenhouse. Weak and can't help the wind. Besides, if you don't tell me, I'm even more worried, and I won't be able to sleep well. "I deliberately exaggerated, in fact, I have a high quality of sleep now, just dip my pillow on it, and sleep until dawn.

Jiang Zhi thought about it and decided to tell me. He understands my character and will never give up until he achieves his goal.

"Actually, I started preparing for this a while ago. Do you remember? After planting the seedlings, I asked everyone to replace the bamboo poles that stand on the edge of the paddy fields every year with wooden stakes, and they also set up one every ten meters, and everyone thought that it was used to cover the shade net in the summer. Actually, I want to cover the rice in my village with something. In the event of a locust plague, minimize the damage. Jiang Zhi said his preparations.

He is also worried about this, because the village finally had a bumper harvest last year, and if this year's rice is plagued by locusts, then everyone will return to the pre-liberation period.

I know about this, it was our family that started to change the stake first, and other people followed suit, so Jiang Zhi had this idea at that time.

But I still don't think I can resist the locusts that are overwhelming.

"Old ginger. Look here, there are a lot of ducks and chickens in the fields. Then we will destroy all the locusts in the field, and we will have a lot of chickens and ducks, and when the time comes, we will drive the chickens and ducks of our family to the paddy fields. There are nets blocking it, and there must be fish that have slipped through the net into the rice fields, so that these chickens and ducks will be useful. I pointed to Jiang Zhi where I had just seen.

Jiang Zhi looked at it seriously and said, "This method is good, we can give it a try." ”

I thought of a new question, "Old Jiang, do you want to tell the people in the village about the locust plague?" ”

I've lived here for several years, and I've come to know some affection for the villagers, and I can't bear to see their hard-earned food destroyed in the locust plague, so that's why I asked.

Jiang Zhi put his arm around me and said with a smile: "No matter what way we start, we have no possibility of being alone, not to mention that our family is now low-key in our village, we have a hundred pairs of eyes to watch what we do, just to accumulate some good karma for our unborn girl, we can't ignore everyone." But you don't have to worry about this, I will discuss with Lao Zhangtou and them tomorrow, they are so old, they must have more experience than us, everyone will discuss together, and they will always find the best solution. ”

I thought about it, okay, the three stinkers have beaten Zhuge Liang, maybe they can really think of some effective way.

But I can't just look at it, how can I make a contribution, so I flipped through the ring, and finally found the last day book with the locust plague, and turned to that chapter to show Jiang Zhi, hoping to help him.

"Yo, is there really such a plot in this last world?" After Jiang Zhi read a few lines, he took a serious look.

"Of course, don't they all say that art comes from life!" I said shyly.

"Well, there are some things that can be used for reference, just collect locusts, when the grain reserves, our village can learn from it, although our pig farm has been run, but the villagers can only eat pork during the New Year's Festival, if there are locusts to eat, the children can also increase some nutrition." Jiang Zhi also saw the section where the locusts were stored to eat.

"Yes, I was thinking about it just now, they all say that locusts are delicious, but I've never eaten them before, so I have to try them this time." When I think about the delicious food described in the book, I can't help but cry.

"Daughter-in-law, don't you feel disgusting?" Jiang Zhi asked me very strangely, he never thought that I would dare to eat bugs.

I didn't expect that I would be good at this, although I am not too afraid of insects, but I can't reach the point where my face does not change color when I hear about eating insects.

"I don't know, I should feel disgusting, but now I'm looking forward to fried grasshoppers." I don't know what's wrong with me.

Jiang Zhi thought for a while and said, "It may be that my girl wants to eat, that's why you're like this." It's okay, when the time comes, I'll grab more for you two so that you can eat enough. ”

"Okay, catch more work, and see if you can raise some in the space when the time comes, then if your girl wants to eat in the future, you can eat fresh." I'm starting to plan to add new species to the space.

In the next few days, Jiang Zhi began to get busy, and I don't know how he explained the locust plague to those old men, they all looked serious, and then a few of their stinkers studied for an afternoon, and the next day they became busy.

First, I told the villagers about the possible locust plague, and received the attention and support of all the families, and then launched a series of measures to prevent the locust plague.

The first is to ask all the families to erect a sturdy wooden stake on the ridge of the paddy field about 20 meters like our family, which is used to build up the net to protect the rice below. Second, don't kill the chickens, ducks and geese of each family for the time being, and explained to everyone the use of chickens, ducks and geese in the locust plague, and said that if you are hungry for meat, then wait for this fried grasshopper to eat, and choke the children who heard that there are delicious food. The third is to let each family go to the back mountain to cut some bamboo, and then make bamboo nets at home. At this time, there is no place to find barbed wire, so I can only use bamboo to split and make a net instead. When the time comes, the stakes are erected on wooden stakes and some branches are spread on bamboo nets, which should be able to keep most of the locusts at bay.

Everyone knows that when the locusts plague, the locusts did not come in one or two, but in thousands, and if people wanted to leave their homes at that time, they also had to make some equipment.

This is our own prepared for our own home, our helmets are ready-made, when I was in the city, I didn't go to the auto parts city, where I collected a lot of motorcycle helmets, and now I just took them out. As for the protective gear on the body, it was pondered by Jiang's mother and the four old men, all of which were made of light and thin iron sheets, Jiang Zhi tried it, it was not bad, and he could wear it and move freely, and then according to this equipment, he prepared a set for everyone in our family, including the three members of my aunt's family.

Now that everything is ready, we are waiting for the locust plague to come.

One day at the end of July, Jiang Zhi looked at the blue sky and said, "It's coming, I'm in a hurry, they're almost there." ”

When I heard this, I knew that the locust plague was coming, and my heart was happy and anxious, and I was glad that we were able to make adequate preparations before the locust plague, and the locust plague was no longer a threat to us, it was just bringing us food. I'm anxious that I'm going to be like everyone else, I don't know what's going to happen in the future, and I'm going to start exploring the unknown again.

But fortunately, I'm not alone, I have my family with me, my husband, and my two children.

Without warning, the plague of locusts came.

I took my protective gear and hid in a small shack specially set up by Jiang Zhi on the edge of the field to rest temporarily, looking at the originally blue sky, as if a dark cloud was quickly drifting over, and the locusts covered the entire sky, it is not an exaggeration to say that it covered the sky and the sun, accompanied by the huge buzzing of their wings.

They must have seen a "green" of our place and flew towards it, and we heard the popping sound in the shack and knew that the swarm had begun to land on the shelves.

When the people in the shack heard this swishing sound, they were all secretly glad that the protective gear made by Jiang's mother for everyone was made of iron sheets, otherwise they might not be able to withstand the huge impulse of the locusts from top to bottom.

I saw from the gap in the shack, the grass next to it, covered with a layer of gray-green, and the swarm above the head is still joining the ranks of grabbing food, the original green grass, by the swarm, will reveal the bare ground, I patted my chest, muttered, "The swarm is terrible, this insect can bite the elephant to death." ”

And I also found that this grasshopper is different from what I saw together, it seems to be bigger, as long as my middle finger, isn't this my own country's species? (To be continued......)
