Listening to the sound of locusts flapping their wings and gnawing on grass and trees outside, Liang Xie and Liu Shiyi couldn't help but be a little frightened, so many locusts they had never seen, never heard, and never thought that the guy who could pinch to death with one finger would be so terrifying, fortunately this is a locust, the locust that does not eat people has injured the two of them like this, if it is so many poisonous bees, it is impossible to imagine.

Liu Shiyi suddenly remembered what Yun Lao said when he was in the capital: "Locusts and poultry like to eat, birds like to eat, birds like to eat, domestic cats can catch them, the speed is not as good as birds, and the strength is not as good as rats and beasts. ”

At that time, Yun Lao caught a locust and said this, she thought that Yun Lao was just saying it casually, she never thought that such a thing would really happen in front of her, could it be really as Yun Lao said, 'Tianmang Dynasty' is about to end?

The well is dark, the two are not far away from each other, breathing can be heard, gradually the two adapt to the darkness in the well, have been able to penetrate through the gap in the manhole cover into the slight light blurred vision, half an hour, the two hands and feet are sore, but the sound outside the well has not stopped, an hour, the two hands and feet have been wooden, the sound outside the well still exists.

"It's not a way to go on like this, I'll go out and have a look. ”

Liang Xie said, immediately climbed out of the wellhead, opened a crack in the manhole cover, and immediately there were locusts drilled over, Liang Xie bounced a few, leaned over his face to look out, the sky that should have been sunny and sunny seemed to have darkened, the outside was gray and seemed to be dusk, and the extreme eye caused the mountains to stretch all over the wilderness without locusts, Liang Xie Gongyun eyes, see farther, but in addition to locusts or locusts in the eyes, only the water surface of the fish pond is still sparkling without locusts involved, in addition to no good land, the distant mountain has already turned into a gray yellow color from the previous verdant yellow, obviously covered with locusts, he looked into the sky, this look is even more frightenedI saw that the locusts in the sky covered the sunlight one after another, like a black cloud that could not be seen, the 'black cloud' rolled like boiling water, and there was a faint sound of 'thunder' inside. Seeing that this scene could not be stopped for a while, Liang Xie covered the manhole cover and climbed down the wall of the well, fortunately, the locusts were not chasing people and biting, as long as they did not block their way, they would not hurt people, Liang Xie and Liu Shiyi were injured by the locusts because there were too many locusts and too dense, and they accidentally injured the two of them under the flying and drilling, and they generally did not hurt people after they landed. However, just accidentally injuring the two people is unbearable, if it is deliberate, the two of them are afraid that they will die early for a long time.

Time passed little by little, the two of them had soreness in their hands and feet, and they couldn't go up or down, so they had to climb up and down along the well wall every once in a while to move a little, so that the blood could run and the sour wood feeling of the hands and feet was reduced. Liang Xie has the 'Heavenly Root Formula' in his body, his body is full of true qi, but he can also hold on, Liu Shiyi's skills are not as good as Liang Xie, and he gradually can't stand it after a long time, plus the well wall is slightly wider, her arms are stretched out, it is extremely hard to go down like this, Liang Xie kicked between the stone cracks of the well wall with his legs, and his hands were stretched out against both sides of the well wall, so that Liu Shiyi grabbed his shoulders, which made her a little easier.

The sound of locusts flapping their wings, the rustle of gnawing grass and trees, and the sound of falling water with gravel and soil chips under his feet, every moment is so difficult, he is about to fall asleep several times, and several times he almost misses and falls into the bottom of the well, he bites the tip of his tongue to wake himself up in pain, and I don't know how long it took, Liang Xie's hands and feet almost lost consciousness, and the sound of 'buzzing' outside finally had the meaning of going away, and when the sound was finally inaudible, Liang Xie supported Liu Shiyi to climb up.

Lift the manhole cover, the bright moon hangs high, the earth is cold and gray silver under the reflection of the lack of moon, Liang Xie ears can no longer hear the sound, through the moonlight to see the wall, the ground, the air is still full of locusts, but it has been able to settle, compared to the previous is not one in a hundred. Liang Xie supported Liu Shiyi's back and lifted her out of the well, and jumped up on the edge of the well.

The mountains were silent, only the sound of the wind blowing the valley and the intermittent rustling sound, Liang Xie kicked away a few locusts and stepped out, Liu Shiyi's legs were early, and he couldn't take a step, Liang Xie returned and carried her to the house. Grabbing her arm around her waist, although it was through the clothes, there was still a delicate and silky feeling, and occasionally touching the skin under the torn clothes Liang Xie felt more dreamlike, which felt very comfortable, so that Liang Xie couldn't help but feel numb in his heart.

Liang Xie remembered that this seemed to be the first time he had such intimate contact with Liu Shiyi, and he may have had it before, but it had never brought him such a strong sense of impulse as at this moment, perhaps because Liang Xie had not touched a woman for too long.

Liang Xie secretly scolded himself for trying to suppress the evil thoughts in his heart, removed his hand from Liu Shiyi's upper arm, and grabbed her forearm instead, her forearm was thin and soft, the skin was cold and smooth, Liang Xie was nervous when he touched his hand, and then there was a feeling of grabbing a worm in his palm, Liang Xie was startled, and immediately realized that this was a scar, very high and very high, which was left when he was in the capital that year, left for him for them, Liang Xie's heart was like being hit hard by a hammer, and the previous feeling of numbness disappeared instantly, replaced by a kind of distress, he didn't know if this was a simple friendship or legendary love, he only knew that the woman in front of him had borne too much, and she could have not had to.

The well is not far from the house, the two quickly walked, into the house, Liang Xie turned on the fire fold and lit the candle, the house was in a mess, the window lattice paper was completely damaged, there were thousands of locusts on the bed and underground, Liang Xie took a stool to brush off the locusts on the top and helped Liu Shiyi to sit down, he closed the door with his backhand, turned out the winter bedding from the box and nailed it to the window with the hidden weapon he relied on to prevent the locusts from entering again, when he nailed the window, Liu Shiyi also eased up and was sweeping the locusts in the house with a broom, Liang Xie saw that her hands and feet were still a little trembling, and immediately took the broom and started to move his own hands, settled Liu Shiyi to sit down and rest, but Liu Shiyi was not idle, tore some rags and plugged the exposed gaps in the doors and windows, although the house was small, the two of them also cleaned it for half an hour before they were busy.

It was late June, the moon rose late, and when they came out of the well, they saw that the height of the moon rising was at least ugly, and at this moment it was probably the end of the ugly hour, and after tossing for most of the day, it finally stopped, and the previous dozing in the well was not at all sleepy at all.

The two moved the stool and sat opposite each other, looking at the blood marks on each other's bodies, and the messy and torn clothes and the messy hair on the gray face and couldn't help laughing, until Liu Shiyi found that Liang Xie's eyes were wandering, and he didn't dare to look directly at himself before he was alert, and when he looked down, it turned out that the clothes on his chest had been torn and the small clothes inside were also damaged, and the snow-white skin was faintly visible.

The candle flame danced, and from time to time there was a soft sound of 'beep', the two looked at each other speechlessly, Liang Xie looked at Liu Shiyi's face, he had never looked at Liu Shiyi so seriously, and at this moment he inadvertently found that she was so quiet and beautiful under the candlelight, her appearance was a little embarrassed, she looked very weak, so poignant, and poignant was even more distressing.

People are in front of him, Liang Xie has a very unreal feeling, as if only in a dream can see such a person, Liu Xie has always been just his friend, subordinates, relatives, he only found her tenacity, only saw her smile, never really cared about her bitterness, did not really care about her difficulty, Liang Xie looked at her who was still smiling in front of her, she smiled and would reveal two sharp tiger teeth, suddenly Liang Xie was a little distressed, after dating for so many years, at this moment Liang Xie really understood, she was tenacious, Liang Xie had seen the grinning Feng Qi crying nose, and he had also seen Yun Jiu'er crying, and he had also carried people behind his back, but he rarely saw Liu Shiyi cryingShe has a lot of backbone, although fate is unfair to her, despite her lack of ability, despite her average qualifications, she has been working hard to change her fate, has been working hard, has never bowed her head, has not compromised, Liang Xie saw her backbone but also saw her inferiority, inferiority rooted in her bones, Liang Xie felt distressed because of this moment of empathy, he had also felt distressed for her, but this time was different from the past, the previous distress was only a moment, but at the moment he was in pain for a long time, and the pain was a little trembling。

Liang Xie knew that she needed someone to take care of her, a real man, a real strong man, and he couldn't call it, he thought that a man should be as tall as Xiang Tieyi, as calm as Heng Wuxuan, and as broad as a senior brother, he didn't have any of these, and he couldn't take responsibility for these three people in addition to martial arts.

The candle burned shorter and shorter, and finally went out after the flame beat a few times, there was no candle in the Liang Xie house, and there was an oil lamp in Lao Li Tou's house, which had never been used since Lao Li Tou's death, and Liang Xie was too lazy to play with it at this time. The two sat opposite each other in the dark, and with Liang Xie's skill at the moment, a slight glimmer of light could see things like day, but Liu Shiyi could only see Liang Xie's outline clearly.

The first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was Liang Xie's smile and a bowl of porridge on the table, the two of them had not eaten since a few mouthfuls of watermelon at noon yesterday, and they were indeed hungry at the moment.

Outside the house, the sun was shining, and the sky was full of locusts, and from time to time a few fell on the heads of the two people, and on their faces, this level was already regarded as a plague of locusts, and it was extremely rare to be as terrifying as yesterday. Liu Shiyi slapped down a few flying locusts, cut his hair, and looked towards the mountains, but saw that the peaks and valleys that were still lush yesterday had become bare, and all the leaves of the trees had been eaten.

Flying locusts cross the border, and not a single grass grows.

Liu Shiyi couldn't help but be a little shocked, it was only a day, she looked at Liang Xie beside her, Liang Xie smiled bitterly, he was also startled when he got up in the morning, and what surprised him even more was not only the flying locusts gnawing the grass and trees, but even the boats docked by the fish pond were also sunk to the bottom of the water, it was a boat that could seat four or five people, what a power.

It is said that one day when the emperor was reviewing the recital, the sky suddenly became dim, the emperor walked out of the hall when he saw the locusts flying in the sky, he fell to his knees, and then roared, pointing to the sky and scolding the earth without the appearance of the emperor, others could not pull up, and then he cried all night, the next day his body was like an old man, his hair was half gray, and he issued a 'guilty edict' in the morning, and scolded himself for a bloody head. I don't know if the legend is true or not, I don't know if the emperor scolded the world or cried, but the locust plague is real, and the 'guilty edict' is true.

Since the day of the locust plague, the people are in panic all day long, the panic will expand the harm of the locust plague to the maximum, for a time the theory of the destruction of the country is very loud, at the time of the danger of the monarch and the people, a mysterious religion has risen from the ground, under the pretense of the locust plague soldiers to incite people's hearts, everywhere to preach the 'annihilation of the world' speech, when the people are afraid to the extreme, it has developed rapidly under the slogan of 'respecting God and redeeming the world', the people of the world call it 'God Redemption', and it is their own savior god - 'Six-eyed Emperor', also known as 'Zun', 'God',' The full name of the supreme redeeming god is incomparably long, and it is all rare words, and no one remembers.

The so-called 'Six-Eyed Zun', the legend says that each eye represents six kinds of divine power, 'Zun God' will root these six kinds of eyes in each person's body, if the service of the 'Zun God' meritorious, it can be thoroughly stimulated, with great magical powers, one of these six eyes, the 'Eye of Enlightenment', the eye is hidden in the eyes of people, if you get the blessing of God, you can never forget, anything will be learned; the second is the 'Eye of Enlightenment', the eye is hidden in the human forehead, if you get the blessing of God, you can observe the true state of all things, deduce the past and the future; The eye of eternal life is hidden in the soul, if it is blessed by God, it will live forever and will not grow old and immortal; the fourth is the 'eye of mixed steel', the eye is hidden in the internal organs and bones of people, if it is blessed by God, the whole body is like copper and iron, invulnerable, water and fire are invulnerable; the fifth is the 'eye of regeneration', the eye is hidden in the innate qi of people who will be born before they are born, if they are blessed by God, they can breathe the qi of heaven and earth for food, get rid of the pain of grains, they can cut off their arms themselves, cut off their heads and continue, and they can open up the world and recreate the world; the sixth is ' The Eye of Destruction', hidden in human nature, if blessed by God, can be a small opponent of a million troops, can raise his hand to destroy the stars, and can play with heaven and earth between applause.

It is said that no one believed this nonsense at first, but the "Divine Redemption Sect" gave porridge and food in the name of disaster relief, so the people flocked to it, and as a result, in front of tens of millions of victims, a person who claimed to have received the blessing of the "god" and blessed the "Mixed Steel Eye" showed the miracle of the "oil pot" under his naked body.

The prosperity of the 'Divine Redemption Sect' is like a locust in just over two months between heaven and earth, and the 'Kyushu' all respect the faith, and the three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism and the Mo family that have just improved are instantly unattended, and the imperial court did not pay attention to it at first, but suddenly found that many of the important ministers, military generals, people in the opposition, and businessmen have joined the 'Divine Redemption Sect', and the imperial court realized that something was a little strange, and immediately sent the 'Golden Guard' to investigate, and the result was a team' Jin Yiwei's twenty people all joined the church, fortunately, in addition to the remarks of some demagoguery, there was no radical action, but a lot of things like disaster relief, the outside of the court, the enemy and the inside, there was no one to help the disaster relief, although there was a possibility of fraud in it, and did not delve into it.

In the fourth year of Tianlu, since the locust plague flooded in June, the people avoided the peak, caught locusts and eaten, October 13, the beginning of winter, the north of 'Zhongzhou' was completely frozen, the canal was frozen, the fish pond where Liang Xie was located had been frozen, and the north was eaten by locusts except for the crops that were dug up and eaten by the roots more or less produced, and the rest were eaten by the locusts. In that season, there were no locusts, and the people had nothing to eat, so they became thieves.
