263. Covering the sky and the sun, a large area of dark clouds
After returning home, Lin Chaodong told the Liu family, who was making breakfast, the two younger brothers in the house who had not yet gotten up, and finally told Yue Jiujiu during the meal.
Yue September: ('Δ ́)!
Isn't that revealing!
It seems that the cement pipes have to be drained, and the water is almost time to stop.
I just don't know when this drought will end.
The original owner and they went all the way north, because they left at the beginning of June, so they did not encounter a plague of locusts, until the early winter, there was no rain or snow on this day, but the original owner was not far from a city, and gave her own life.
Alas! Sad!
If the water doesn't stop, what will she do if some curious person pulls up the soil by the well and finds the cement pipe?
But if the cement pipes are collected, the people in the village will not have water to eat, and what will happen then?
Can't you have a late escape, right?
Isn't the reason why she willingly provided water to the people in the village for almost a year to avoid escaping the famine?
She did this, not only to avoid following the old path of the original owner, that is, to be pierced through the eyebrows with sharp arrows, and she died.
The most important thing, of course, is because she just doesn't want to escape from the wilderness, after all, there is a word "escape" and a word "waste", how difficult this road is, it is definitely much more difficult than the original owner's memory!
Anyway, she just doesn't want to run away!
"No one knows what's going on?"
Yue Jiujiu couldn't help but inquire.
"Well, they guessed that there might be a spring next to the ancient well. But I thought, what is the drought like this day, how can there be a spring, and where does the spring come from and the water is still a little stuck? There must be something else weird! ”
Lin Chaodong talked eloquently, feeling that it was much more reliable than those people's guesses.
But whether it is the speculation of "there is a spring" or the speculation of "there is a weirdness", it is not what Yue Jiujiu wants to see.
She hoped that those people would still be the same as before, knowing that there were strange things, and in order to continue to have water to drink, they would not explore the truth.
However, when they feel that they have explored part of the truth, and they are only half a step away from the real truth, will they really be able to endure it all?
But first, the locust plague is coming, and second, the Liu family's mother and daughter are still living in her house, even if Yue Jiujiu wants to do something, it is too late.
She really had to pray.
For a meal, Yue Jiujiu didn't know the taste of the food.
"Mother, look, is the cloud coming? Is it going to rain? ”
Liu, who was brushing dishes at the door of the hall, pointed to the dark sky of the original owner, and asked Yue Jiujiu with surprise.
That "dark cloud" was really a large piece of darkness that covered the sky and the sun, and it quickly came in the direction of their Linjiagou Village.
"That's not right! That's locusts! Come in! ”
dragged the Liu family, who was washing dishes at the door, into the house, and slipped Xiao Yan'er, who was still picking up locusts and playing, into the house, Yue Jiujiu shouted loudly:
"Boss! Third! Fourth! Hurry back to the house! ”
The three brothers didn't find a large number of locusts, but there were already a lot of locusts in the house, and they wanted to take advantage of this time to kill as many as they could, one by one either holding a shovel to shoot grasshoppers, or holding a broom to fight grasshoppers, and one was responsible for sweeping the dead grasshoppers into the pit where the potatoes were planted and burning the grasshoppers.
Smelling the fragrance of roasted grasshoppers, it's a pity to be there one by one.
