Chapter Fifty-Eight: It's You Who Kicked
Zhang Dali was kicked back to the top of the ditch, but those hand-made bows had already been trampled by the soldiers, and only then did he pick up a life.
He hadn't fought with Shen Yunqing, nor had he seen the treasure in her space, but he was negligent for a while and was attacked by Shen Yunqing.
When he reacted, he was about to rush forward with the knife in his hand.
Zhang Dali is fat, where is Shen Yunqing's opponent, not to mention that there is a Nangong Qiao on the side.
After five minutes of hard work, Zhang Dali was trampled on the ground by Shen Yunqing and begged for mercy!
"I'm so close to you, according to the generation, you should call me uncle like Yuyan!"
Shen Yunqing snorted: "Don't be an elder here." ”
When he was in prison, he didn't show mercy to Shen Yunqing because he was a junior.
Zhang Dali still didn't give up: "I'm a general under King Ning!" ”
"I dare to fight King Ning, why can't I fight his generals?" Shen Yunqing tied Zhang Dali and the five soldiers together in three or two clicks, and threw them to the villagers on the side, "Throw them together in the ancestral hall!" I'm going to interrogate him. ”
In this way, Zhang Dali and the remaining five soldiers were tied together and escorted to the ancestral hall.
Of the hundred or so soldiers who came with him, there were only five left in the end, and Zhang Dali couldn't believe it.
He looked around the ancestral hall and found some familiar faces, among which was Hu Ran, and Hu Ran followed behind Shen Yunqing to listen to the instructions.
Outside the ancestral hall, the villagers were unharmed, and Uncle Gan was overjoyed, urging his son beside him: "Hurry, hurry, go to the back mountain to pick up your mother and them home." ”
This busy work came to dawn.
The villagers were no longer as cold as they were yesterday evening, and almost all the villagers gathered outside the ancestral hall to thank Shen Yunqing for his help.
Uncle Gan took his pickled radish into the ancestral hall: "This girl, I misunderstood you yesterday, and there is nothing to entertain you at home......
Yun Jiao jumped out and asked, "Is there no meat?" ”
Uncle Gan was a little embarrassed: "This ......"
Shen Yunqing frowned, she didn't seem to have treated Yun Jiao very badly, why did Yun Jiao still seem to be unable to eat?
She rejected the pickled radish in Uncle Gan's hand and thanked: "We have eaten it, Uncle Gan, you can keep it for yourself." ”
At this moment, as soon as the morning dawn came out, Shen Yunqing stood at the door of the ancestral hall, and only then did he see the whole picture of the village.
The village is at the foot of a mountain, and there is a large rice field at the door, and the rice in the rice field is sparse and clear, and there are a few grains of rice on it, telling Shen Yunqing that the crops in the village are not harvested.
At this time, the autumn harvest has not yet arrived, but it is not far away.
Judging from the situation in the field, even if King Ning didn't send people to collect grain, Uncle Gan and the others would have nothing to eat.
"Uncle Gan, your crops ......"
Before she could ask anything, Uncle Gan sighed: "This year's drought has caused a lack of water and the crops have not grown well, but they have encountered locusts again, and locusts have come once a few days ago, basically destroying most of the grain." ”
Uncle Gan was grateful to Shen Yunqing for saving their lives, and he had already regarded Shen Yunqing as his own, so he squatted down on a stone pier outside the ancestral hall and touched the wrinkles on his forehead.
"The top is coming to collect grain again, isn't this asking for our lives?"
Shen Yun cleared: "That's why you plan to fight with the officers and soldiers?" ”
Uncle Gan was silent.
Shen Yunqing looked at the little food left, and said worriedly: "The locusts have come once, and they will come again, Uncle Gan, you have to be prepared." ”
"What? Will it come? ”
The locusts have taken away most of the grain at one time, and if they come again, won't they have to roll up all the rice?
Uncle Gan looked at Shen Yunqing in astonishment, "How can we prepare?" Locusts are a scourge of nature, and we can't do anything about them. ”
"You didn't think about killing locusts?" According to Shen Yunqing's thinking of modern people, there have been several relatively large locust plagues in history, all of which were ordered to be killed by the imperial court.
Although it cannot be completely eradicated, at least a little food can be saved.
"Hunting?" Uncle Gan obviously didn't think about it, "Locusts can fly, how can this, how to kill this?" Moreover, the arrival of locusts is considered a natural disaster, and the gods have sent a disaster, how can we ordinary people disobey? ”
"The county lord also said that you must not attack the locusts, if you anger the gods, it will bring disaster."
The little girl on the side echoed: "Yes, my aunt also said that especially women, if they hurt locusts, they will damage their blessings, and they will not be able to have children in the future." ”
Bullshit's gods!
Hearing this, Shen Yunqing basically understood that the common people were helpless against the locusts, and the court officials probably didn't take it seriously, and they used this set of rhetoric to brainwash the villagers.
She looked at Uncle Gan and them in disbelief, followed by a group of ordinary people, all with panic in their eyes.
"What kind of fallacies are you all talking about? The people live on food, and these locusts have eaten your food, and you worship them as gods? ”
"Running out of food is already the biggest disaster, hunting and killing locusts is saving our food, what disaster are we afraid of without food?"
"When we hunt and kill locusts, we are eliminating pests for the people, so how can we still affect women to have children?"
"What if you can't have children? What can you do if you anger the gods? Once the crops are gone, you will definitely not be able to live, you will all starve to death, and you will die left and right, what are you still doing in China? ”
She finished her words and looked at everyone expectantly, but they bit it, and finally looked at Uncle Gan in silence.
These officials do not do anything about personnel, but they are active in collecting grain.
Thinking of this, Shen Yunqing didn't fight anywhere, and just a few kicks on Zhang Dali's body, kicking Zhang Dali and screaming: "What are you doing with a good kick?" ”
"It's you!"
Uncle Gan thought for a long time and decided to listen to Shen Yunqing once, maybe she was right? Both left and right are dead, why should their lives be at the mercy of the county master?
"Girl, do you have a solution?"
Shen Yunqing saw that Uncle Gan was willing to deal with locusts, and knew that it was her own words that had an effect, so she nodded.
The most important thing now is how to deal with the locusts.
Shen Yunqing didn't dare to delay, and went into the house to discuss with the Lin family and the village chief.
After tossing all night, although it is morning, some villagers still can't bear it, and they huddle aside and doze off.
The Nan'an Village where the Lin family is located has never encountered locusts, and after hearing this, she is just at a loss in her eyes and can't come up with an idea.
"Why don't you go and ask the strong man?" The village chief suggested on the side.
The strong man he said was naturally Nangong Qiao.
Shen Yunqing already had a way in his heart, and he just wanted to arrange matters with the Lin family, and if he didn't find Nangong Qiao, it would be of little use.
However, Nangong Qiao will work lightly, this is a usable person.
At this time, a weak voice sounded in the crowd: "Miss Qing, what do you want Zilin to do?" ”
He has been silently following the team for the past few days, and he really wants to help Shen Yunqing a little bit of what he can, but unfortunately, he is a scholar, and he has only studied medicine with his grandfather, and he has no strength in his hands, and it is too late to save his life when he encounters officers and soldiers.
Now when he heard that he was going to deal with locusts, he was the first to stand up.
