Chapter 503: Ancient Peasant Family (10)
When the villagers saw that Qin Yi, the most knowledgeable person in the village, had begun to pick up locusts, many of them no longer hesitated, and they also went home and took burlap bags and began to pick them up.
Many of the elderly in the village have experienced disaster years and know what is most precious in disaster years!
In a disaster year, even if there are mountains of gold and silver, if you can't buy food, you will starve to death.
Under the leadership of Qin Yi, the whole village, whether old or young, or children, caught locusts with a cloth bag per person.
But there are too many locusts to catch them all.
That little bit of green on the mountain, after the locusts have crossed, there is hardly anything left.
Some locusts are even bold enough to greet people.
Fortunately, the villagers were not very afraid of locusts at the moment, and when they saw the locusts on their bodies, they stepped on them directly.
The whole village kept catching locusts, and they didn't stop at night, lighting bonfires and torches on the roadside to catch locusts.
Qin Yi and Qin Shouren were catching locusts outside, while Feng Ling was responsible for washing the locusts that their father and son had brought back, and fried them in the oil pan!
Or directly dry it with a fire kang and grind it into locust powder...
Otherwise, you won't be able to leave it for long.
Other families in the village also followed Feng Ling's learning.
Because there were too many locusts, they prepared enough food anyway, so the whole village set off after three years in order to catch locusts.
Qin Shouyi looked at the grain piled up in Qin Shouren's house, and said with some regret: "Big brother, I regret not listening to you at the beginning!" ”
Hearing Qin Shouyi like this, Qin Shouren was still very happy in his heart, but said: "It's okay, it's not too late now, your family can catch more locusts, and they can also be used as food." ”
"Even if the locusts are eaten in the end, can my brother still watch you starve to death?"
Qin Shouyi thought about it, and then he escaped, it would definitely be indispensable to bother the eldest brother's family, and Qin Shouyi was even more respectful to Qin Shouren.
Qin Shouli's family also returned to the village and fled south with everyone.
Qin Shouli came back with Qin Shao and his son Sun Wanyu.
Sun Wanyu's eyes were red, Qin Yi saw it, pulled Qin Shao aside and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Qin Shao sighed, "My father and I decided to follow you south, and Wanyu also wants to take her family with you." ”
"It's a pity, "Qin Shao" My father-in-law didn't believe my words, thinking that even if the disaster year came, their family would save so much food, and they would definitely be able to survive safely, and they refused to give up their family business and go with us. ”
Qin Yi nodded, indicating that he understood, and he could understand Qin Shao's father-in-law's thoughts, after all, a lifetime of family business, throw it away wherever it is, how many people are willing to do it?
Through several nights of catching locusts, there are a lot fewer locusts in their village, and many families have never stopped the fire in these three days, and the fire kang has been burning.
The people in the village completely believed Qin Yi's words, and many daughters-in-law who married into the village didn't want their mother's family to suffer, so they went home one after another to serve their mother's family to go with them.
But few people believe, and most don't!
When they were completely ready to go on the road, Qin Yi counted and found that there were 1,669 people in total.
There are more than 400 people from other villages.
This night, it was dark, Qin Yi stood in front of everyone, holding a torch in his hand, glanced behind him, and then waved his big hand, "Go!" ”
In the dark night, a fire dragon composed of torches slowly moves forward in the dark night!
Feng Ling sat in the car, the carriage was very spacious, and it was a young man from the village who was driving the car, called Shu, who had a large family, so Qin Yi discussed with the family and asked the tree to give them a car, and they were responsible for the tree's three meals a day.
Naturally, the tree's family was overjoyed and couldn't ask for it.
In addition, Qin Yi also hired a young man who drove a car for Qin Shouren and Qin Shouli's family, all of whom were young people in the village, and they didn't need to give money, so they ate and went to school
The Qin family's food is good, and these young men are also very willing.
The tree drove well, and although the wind chimes felt a little bumpy in the car, it was not violent.
Feng Ling sat cross-legged on the thick futon and began to enter the cultivation state.
After Qin Yi walked for a while, he changed to another person, this person was an old man in the village, he was very familiar with the surrounding terrain, and he didn't have to worry about taking the wrong road.
After Qin Yi returned to the carriage, he saw that Feng Ling was practicing, so he didn't bother, and he also sat cross-legged next to Feng Ling and followed the cultivation.
Until the color gradually brightened, Qin Yi asked people to stop at the foot of a barren mountain.
There are so many of them, it is too dazzling to rush in vain, and it is best to rush at night and rest in vain.
After a night of cultivation, Feng Ling not only did not feel tired, but was in good spirits.
When I woke up in the morning, the others had already started cooking.
Seeing Feng Ling get down from the carriage, Qin Yi hurriedly walked over and said to Feng Ling, "I have set up a hot pot." ”
Feng Ling nodded, followed Qin Yi to the pot, and the two boiled a pot of thick rice porridge together, Feng Ling took out the pickled vegetables, as well as salted eggs.
After Qin Shouren got up, he saw that Feng Ling had already prepared breakfast, and he was even more satisfied with this daughter-in-law.
The tree saw that there were salted eggs for breakfast, and his eyes were smiling like crescents.
The Qin family is generous, and there is no limit to how much the tree eats, the tree is when it grows tall, and it eats a lot, usually when he is at home, he eats too much, and his mother scolds him for being reincarnated as a starving ghost.
In the Qin family, he could eat as much as he wanted.
After eating, Shu took the initiative to wash the dishes, and Feng Ling was busy: "Give it to me." ”
"It's okay," Shushu smiled innocently, "sister-in-law, we often do this work at home!" ”
When Qin Yi saw it, he said, "Tree, I remember that you have a younger sister, one year older than you, called Miao, right?" ”
Tree nodded, "Hmm." ”
Qin Yi again: "If your sister is fine, come to my house to help cook and wash clothes, and we will take care of the meal." ”
When Shu heard this, his eyes lit up, and he nodded busily, "Okay, okay, Brother Qin, I'll go find my sister, my sister will definitely be happy." ”
The mother of the tree is patriarchal, and she has many children, and the boys eat more, and they have to be scolded, let alone girls.
After a while, the tree pulled a thin girl over, who seemed to be very shy and kept her head down.
Qin Yi smiled: "Don't be nervous, Miao will help wash the clothes and cook." ”
The tree was on the side: "Miao, you do a good job, Brother Qin's family is fine, we don't care how much we eat." ”
Miao listened, then raised his head slightly, and responded with a voice "Hmm! ”
