Pseudo master, she just wants to live

Chapter 73 The good thing in Zhenyang County
night.

It has just entered the early autumn, and the night is already a little chilly.

The curtains of all the carriages and ox carts were lowered, and there were occasional snoring sounds in the carriages.

Several villagers who were on vigil chatted together to relieve their boredom, and in the simple iron stove around them, the charcoal fire appeared and disappeared.

Since traveling to the Daxiang Kingdom, soup and water are indispensable for daily food, Fang Yao has developed the habit of waking up at night.

She touched the mask and put it on, and the humming sound filled her ears instantly. She yawned and climbed out of the carriage, and went around to the temporary "hut" tent built next to it.

A kerosene lamp was placed next to it, and wormwood was specially smoked.

Fang Yao squatted down, half-closed her eyes, suddenly, the buzzing sound seemed to be getting closer.

She opened her eyes suddenly, and her eyes naturally fell on a pile of soil in the corner of the tent,
This was dug out of a hole, and the excrement was specially reserved for burial.Pull one layer of the pit, and bury it with soil before leaving, just like a natural cat litter box.

Due to the drought, the excavated soil was very dry and hard, and a shovel was placed beside it, so that it was convenient to crush these soil clods when burying.

"what……"

A lump of soil the size of a nail shell rolled down from the mound. Fang Yao blinked and squatted without moving.

Another lump of soil fell down, followed by three, six...

Fang Yao finally couldn't calm down anymore, she quickly got up and fastened her belt, grasped the shovel, and raised her hand to split the pointy mound of dirt in two.

Seven or eight turquoise worms protruded from the soil.

Fang Yao blinked. These are the larvae of grasshoppers, jumping gnats, but these few are like the index fingers of adults, they are extraordinarily thick, and there are a pair of small wings less than half an inch long on the back.

In just over ten seconds, the color of these turquoise jumping gnats turned dark brown.

And the buzzing sound that puzzled her was made by the little wings of the jumping gnat.

Locusts are usually hatched and unearthed in spring, but the ones here are actually born in autumn...

Fang Yao quickly took out the booklet, the ink blobs on the blank third page remained unchanged, but the edges seemed to be shaking faintly.

She suddenly understood something in her heart, put away the booklet, and was about to crush these fat jumping gnats to death, but she looked down and saw the new cloth shoes on her feet, and silently retracted her feet.

Back in the carriage, she had just lowered the curtain when she heard the surprised voices of the night watch villagers.

"Oh, what a big grasshopper!"

"This is meat!"

"Don't eat blindly, we are not without food now, be careful of the locust god's sin!"

"..."

……

The next day.

Not long after the carriage set off, Fang Yao took out the brochure.

After going deeper into Zhenyang County, a new picture appeared in the blank space on the third side of the booklet.

Above a sorghum field, most of the sky was covered by countless locusts, and it was completely black.

It really is [Locust Predation Map].

noon.

The convoy that was on its way early in the morning finally wobbled and arrived at Xihe Village at the bottom of Zhenyang County. After passing this village, walking ten miles further was the county seat of Zhenyang County.

Li Fugui was thinking about making money by fighting the epidemic monster, so he hurriedly asked: "Master, are you going to the county today?"

Fang Yao opened the curtain, and the large sorghum field near the village was very similar to the one in the painting. She thought for a moment, and said, "Let's take a rest near the village first, and find out the news."

Although there are new pictures in her booklet, but wearing a mask, except for the pervasive buzzing sound and the inconspicuous faint black mist in the sky, it is impossible to determine where the plague demon is hiding for a while.

Li Fugui responded, turned his head and shouted to the back: "Rest, rest, let's make lunch!"

The convoy camped in Xiaohe near Xihe Village. Li Fugui wandered around the area, and when he came back, he went to find A Wu Niang, and said, "There are some women who wash clothes in the lower reaches of the river. It's not easy for us men to get close. You and Erya go over."

"Don't worry about this matter."

A Wu Niang put on a new set of clothes, shoes and socks, combed her gray hair meticulously, and even put on rouge.

After feeding the horses, Li Fugui came back and found that A Wu Niang was still tidying up himself. He stared at the old face like a monkey's butt, wishing to poke his eyes, "I want you to find out some news, what are you doing?"

A Wu Niang gave him a white look, "You know a lot, you old bastard, you are dressed in tatters and filth, people think you are a beggar from somewhere, it would be good not to kick you out."

A Wu Niang said that she also put a blush on the Erya who was watching her eagerly, and then led the little girl and walked towards the river.

Fang Yao was sitting in the carriage, a little far away, normally, she could hear the general idea with a mask on.

But since she entered the territory of Zhenyang County, as long as she put on the mask, the buzzing sound seemed to grow in her ears, lingering.

She simply got out of the carriage and looked at the land near Xihe Village. Apart from cracks, there were countless tiny holes that were hard to detect.

And the nearby sorghum will be ripe in a few days. If the locust plague breaks out, the farmers' hard work for a year will be in vain.

I just don't know what the epidemic monster will look like when it is targeted by the mask and the booklet.

After about half an hour, the lunch was ready, and Ah Wu Niang and Er Ya came back.

Li Fugui was even more eager than Fang Yao, hurriedly greeted him, and asked, "Is there anything wrong with this?"

A Wu Niang wiped the sweat from her face with a sweat towel, and her whole face turned red, she didn't realize it, and said to herself: "Hey, I asked, there is nothing strange in Zhenyang County , now only great things happen."

Li Fugui wondered: "What a great deal?"

A Wu Niang got under an awning, sat on a pony, and said: "I heard from those girls and aunts that the daughter of Lord Marquis of Zhenyang County who was living abroad has been found, and he will show it at the mansion tomorrow night." For the banquet, the patriarchs and village officials of Xihe Village were also invited."

Li Fugui glanced at Fang Yao, and said admonishingly, "I asked you to go there, and you just asked this? What does this have to do with what our master wants to inquire about?"

Who knows that Ah Wu Niang is in a hurry: "Hey, who said it's okay! I specifically asked, the Hou Ye's daughter was found in Zhaonan, or a few days ago, think about it, except for the stinky old woman we met a few days ago Who else could those people be?"

Fang Yao recalled that the little girl was almost knocked out of the carriage that day. If it wasn't for her sharp eyesight and quick hands, the consequences would be disastrous!
And that old woman's hateful face, every time she thinks about it, her blood pressure instantly rises.

She gritted her teeth: "So it's them?"

A Wu Niang nodded again and again: "Isn't that right? I heard that the county's surname is Chu, and his family has land and land. He also opened a large winery. Even the emperor drinks wine from his family!"

Fang Yao raised her eyebrows slightly: "The winery?"

It turns out that the officials of Daxiang Kingdom, like the previous Song Dynasty, can also do business.

A Wu Niang stood up and pointed to the distance, "That's right, it's the winery. The sorghum fields with a radius of tens of miles belong to his family."

The villagers looked at each other, and Li Fugui immediately became worried: "Master, can we still enter the county?"

A meaningful smile appeared on the corner of Fang Yao's mouth: "Come in, why don't you come in, we have to let those people invite us in."

Everyone looked at each other.

Fang Yao lightly licked the sockets of her back teeth. It turned out that those people were the county lords in Zhenyang County, that is, noble families with dignity. This time they fell into her hands. See if she didn't ask them to do a bloodletting. Do not believe Fang.
