A few of the victims summed it up.

Each nodded.

As Lin Yan said.

Anyway, they are all going to die, what are you afraid of?

And!

It was Lin Yan who wanted to eat the locusts, not them.

God wants to punish him, and that is also to punish Lin Yan, and it is not their turn to take the blame.

So.

You can take Lin Yan to catch locusts.

Zhou Deming hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Lin Yan: "Do you really want to eat locusts?" ”

Lin Yan nodded: "Yes, you can also eat it." ”

After speaking.

He took out two dry bread cakes and gave them to the victims, and then followed them on.

Zhou Deming and the others looked at each other, and the thought of eating locusts couldn't help but feel a little sick to their stomachs.

But they followed anyway.

"What? That...... That grown-up wants to eat locusts? ”

"Does he really dare to eat that thing?"

"The locusts are the messengers sent by Heaven to punish us, and they eat the locusts, isn't this against the heavens?"

"My lord, locusts can't be eaten! I have seen with my own eyes that people have eaten locusts and are poisoned. ”

"yes, I can't eat it."

In the blink of an eye, many of the victims encountered along the way learned that Lin Yan wanted to eat locusts, and either persuaded Lin Yan not to eat them, or followed with curiosity.

They just wanted to see if the locusts could eat it.

If you can really eat it.

That's the equivalent of finding food.

Don't go hungry for a while.

But.

A small group of victims were convinced that locusts were poisonous and should never be eaten.

Because they have seen people poisoned with their own eyes.

As the news spread, the ranks of victims following behind became larger and larger.

Dozens, hundreds, hundreds!

In the blink of an eye, it was already a dense group.

Half an hour later.

Zizizi...... Zizizi......

In the field, the flames roasted the locusts and made a sizzling sound.

Lin Yan roasted it very carefully.

He knew that the locusts in the locust plague were really poisonous.

When food is dwindling during the dry season, locusts swarm and become ferocious, irritable, and brightly colored.

At the same time, they produce a substance in their bodies that synthesizes the highly toxic hydrocyanic acid when attacked by insectivorous birds.

But!

Hydrocyanic acid will volatilize at high temperatures, and theoretically speaking, locusts treated at high temperatures can still be eaten.

Therefore, Lin Yan said while roasting: "This thing, it tastes bad when it is roasted, and it will be poisoned if it is not cooked." Only when they are roasted golden brown and remove all the toxins from their bodies, can they taste fragrant and crispy. ”

It would be even more delicious if it could be fried.

Pity.

The victims can't even afford to eat food, where is the oil?

Roasting over fire is the easiest.

"Is that really edible?"

Seeing that Lin Yan didn't seem to be talking and playing, he really planned to eat locusts, but many victims still couldn't believe it, and were even worried about whether Lin Yan would die after eating it.

"I don't know, I really don't dare to eat that thing anyway."

"Who dares to eat it?"

"That's the one sent by God to punish us on earth, it's the messenger of God, and if you eat them, you will be sent by heaven, that lord is really bold!"

"The lord said that the locusts were sent by God to punish us, and the big deal is death, and if we continue to starve like this, we will also die, and most of us will die halfway when we leave our homes.

"He also said that if he eats it for us to see, God will punish and punish him, and it has nothing to do with us."

"This lord is different from the ones who came before."

"Well, I've never seen such an adult who dares to risk eating locusts."

"People are officials, and it is impossible to lack food at all, but they deliberately eat locusts in front of us, which is to tell us that locusts can be eaten, so that we don't have to go hungry."

"Of course we understand, but how can locusts eat them?"

"Yes! I've seen people die from eating locusts, and that thing really can't be eaten. ”

“……”

The whispering voices around all came to Lin Yan's ears.

He didn't explain anything.

He knows.

Practical action is the best proof and explanation.

No matter how much you say, it's better to do it for everyone directly.

So, there's nothing to explain.

Soon, the locusts were roasted, and although there were no condiments, they smelled a faint fragrance, and the golden and crispy appearance of the roast was really appetizing.

Some of the victims couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

If not, they either subconsciously or convictly believe that it is inedible.

I'm afraid that I have already rushed up to grab it.

"Your Excellency, ...... Do you really want to eat these locusts? Luo Ning Moth's brows furrowed slightly, a little worried.

Lin Yan smiled and nodded: "As long as they are all roasted thoroughly, the toxins in the bodies of these locusts will be removed, making them delicious and delicious." ”

said.

In one bite, he swept away half a skewer of golden locusts.

Bite into the mouth, crispy and fragrant.

If only I could add a little more salt, it would taste even better.

Well.

A little more wine will be even more refreshing.

Take another bite.

A string of roasted locusts is gone.

Seeing that Lin Yan ate a string of roasted locusts without care, and then picked up a second string, more victims were about to take it anymore, their eyes stared straight at the locusts in Lin Yan's hand, and their throats kept dry.

And Lin Yan looked at Zhou Deming and the others very casually.

"Uncle Ming, do you want to have a string?"

Zhou Deming already understood Lin Yan's intentions, immediately nodded and walked over, took a string of roasted locusts handed out by Lin Yan, bit down on one bite, chewed it in his mouth, and then showed a happy smile on his face.

"Uh-huh! Delicious, crispy and fragrant! Try it too. ”

Luo Ning also walked over, picked up a bunch and tasted it.

At the first bite, she was still a little scared.

But in the second bite, she took a big bite of it.

The other brocade guards saw this.

I also tasted it.

Anyway, for convenience, Lin Yan baked twenty or thirty skewers at one time.

Each person gets a bunch, and there is a surplus.

"Mmmm, it's really delicious!"

"Hahaha...... It turns out that locusts taste so delicious, and if you have a little salt, it will be even more delicious! ”

"Well, it's delicious!"

Seeing that all the brocade guards were eating so deliciously.

The surrounding victims could no longer sit still.

"That thing can be eaten, that thing can be eaten, everyone go catch locusts!"

"Hahaha...... Locusts can really eat! ”

"Catch the locusts, everyone."

"Catch locusts...... Catch locusts ......"

"This thing is so edible! Hurry up...... Great, locusts can eat ......"

"Don't rob it, it's just my ......"

"It's my ......"

Hundreds of victims rushed desperately towards the locusts in the fields as if they were crazy, and the whole scene was like a runaway doomsday corpse.

Nothing more!

Adults and children, men, women, and children, as long as they can move, all pounce on the locusts.

Some of the victims even planned to eat it raw.

Fortunately, Lin Yan found out in time and asked the accompanying Jinyi Wei to stop it, and once again loudly reminded everyone that they must be thoroughly cooked before eating, otherwise they will really be poisoned to death.

"Let's hope word from here spreads soon, right?"

Lin Yan muttered softly.

Meantime.

The anger in his heart towards King Jinnan was a little stronger.

What plague is going on in this town?

Is the suppression of children the abduction of children?

Is it just to fill your pockets?

King Jinnan has been in Pingshan County for more than half a month, and this is how he suppressed the disaster?

Scum!!

After the hundreds of victims had eaten the completely roasted locusts, Zhou Deming and others also began to investigate, asking for clues about the child's disappearance.

"My lord, some of these people do have children missing, but they don't have any clues."

"My lord, it's the same on my side."

The two brocade-clothed guards rode back to the road.

At this time, Luo Ning walked over with a civilian woman, clasped her fists and said, "My lord, this person has forcibly sold her child, and two witnesses have seen with their own eyes that she has committed the crime of human trafficking.

"Please dispose of it, sir!"
