Dressed as a farmer group pet

Chapter 195 Chapter 195
Regardless of the reason for the suspicion, the Jiang family and some villagers in Fu'an Village harvested the sorghum that was still a few days away from maturity within a day or two.

"Father, why don't we accept it too? You see, the Jiang family has already accepted it. What if there is really a plague of locusts?"

In the field, a middle-aged man in his thirties looked anxiously at the old man who was still in the field, that is, his father.

There was his mother next to her, and she frowned when she heard this: "Where are there so many chatterers? After working for so long, the earthworms and ants in the ground are gone. Where did the bugs come from?"

The old man nodded: "That's right, don't just listen to the wind and rain every day, just wait a few more days, and the sorghum will gain dozens of catties!"

Now there is less and less food in the family. Although it is still enough to eat, it can only last for more than a month at most, so the food in the field is especially important now.

Not just their family, but other people's as well!
Therefore, even knowing that Jiang Hu reminded that the uninvited guests who came to the village before said about the locust plague, and there were records from Liu Ze and Jiang Yu's books, there were still not many people who were willing to harvest in advance.

Droughts are uncommon, and it is the vast majority of poor people and farmers who are really affected by the drought and locust plague.

However, almost all of these people have never read a book and are illiterate, leaving no really useful records.

Even some word-of-mouth rumors slowly disappeared from the mouths of the previous generation as time went by.

The records left in the books are only known to those who can read and write, but most people read and read for the imperial examination, and don’t pay much attention to other things, so it’s not that as long as they can read, they will be able to know.

Therefore, after Liu Ze and Jiang Yu inadvertently discovered the news of the drought and the accompanying locust plague, Uncle Liu was surprised, but not many people in the village believed it.

"Father, mother, Jiang's family harvested all the sorghum. If it wasn't true, we would only lose dozens of catties of sorghum. But what if this is true? Then there will be nothing left!"

The middle-aged man was in a hurry, but he didn't dare to disobey his parents, let alone harvest the sorghum directly, so he could only persuade him earnestly.

But even so, his mother just snorted coldly.

"You were brainwashed by that kid Liu Yang. What little lucky star of the Jiang family is just a coincidence. Now he wants to trick us into harvesting sorghum earlier."

The man was speechless: "Mother, he has no grievances or enmities with our family, and he doesn't even have any contact with us. What are they trying to deceive us for!"

If it wasn't for Pepsi's filial piety, he even wanted to do it directly!
Of course, harvesting sorghum.

The old man snorted: "What do you think he is trying to do? Their family has several more people to eat, and they must be out of food now. Maybe that Xiaomi is sleepy every day, which means he is hungry, so they have to collect food now."

"They just harvested it themselves, but they actually lied to us and asked us to harvest it too. Who doesn't know that harvesting grain will reduce production? It's clear that we are afraid that we have too much grain in our family."

The old man touched his waist as he spoke, and then he remembered that he hadn't been to town for the past few months, and he had already finished smoking the tobacco leaves.

The old aunt on the side snorted coldly, also very dissatisfied, and even glanced at the end of the village, which is the direction where the Jiang family is located, in disgust.

"What little lucky star, if it is really blessed by the little lucky star, why would you be separated from your family? Let me tell you, it is clearly a broom star, otherwise it is fine, why is there a sudden drought?"

The middle-aged man scratched his hair anxiously, but unfortunately, his parents were unmoved. In the end, even the young man in the village was to blame for not being able to get a wife.

However, Xiaomi doesn't care what others say. Anyway, the things she does are mainly for the sake of making her family, in this Fu'an Village, able to settle down.

Even the parents have taken the family, took back the sorghum, and cut the sorghum stalks back to feed the cows and horses, and so on, I only know the general idea.

Sure enough, her consciousness still couldn't stay in the space for a long time.

But there are people in the space, who are still children, and they can't really just throw them in and leave them alone.

So at night, Xiaomi's consciousness enters the space all night and night, and he sleeps soundly during the day.

Not to mention, also because of the good recuperating environment in the space, Wei Ziang's wounds healed up in just half a month.

At least, the scars have formed, and I can get out of bed and walk, but the scabs have not yet come off, and the soles of the feet will hurt when I walk, and I can't make too much movement.

As usual, I yawned and got up from the bed, it was already evening.

She has been like this recently. She enters the space with consciousness at night, sleeps during the day, and gets up and moves around in the evening, so as not to worry her family too much.

When putting on clothes, Xiaomi paused, her cheeks puffed up, and her shoulders collapsed instantly.

Xiaoxue has been sitting in front of the window, embroidering and looking at Xiaomi on the bed.

Seeing that her sister woke up, Xiaoxue heaved a sigh of relief. Her most important task every day recently was to look at Xiaomi. Seeing that she woke up at the same time as usual, she was relieved.

Immediately afterwards, I saw Xiaomi's discouraged movement, and hurried over: "What's wrong with Xiaomi? Why did you pout just after waking up?"

Xiaomi was extremely wronged: "Second sister, she is fat."

Xiaoxue was taken aback for a moment, and then burst out laughing with a 'poof'.

Xiaomi was even more aggrieved: "Second sister, you are laughing at me! You are bad!"

Xiaoxue quickly reached out to help Xiaomi get dressed: "You eat and sleep every day, you will definitely gain weight."

The clothes are indeed a bit tight, and it takes a little effort to put Xiaomi on.

"I'll tell my mother later. Anyway, the sorghum is finished, so let my mother make your clothes bigger."

Xiaomi sighed, she didn't want to stay in the space every day.

But no, there is still a child in the space.

Wei Ziang is too young, and it is inconvenient to release him directly now. The child is locked up alone in a place where there is no one, let alone whether he is hungry or not. Mental problems are also prone to problems.

Forget it, wait a little longer, wait until the scars on his body get better, and then find a chance to release him!

After getting dressed, Xiaoxue took her younger sister to go out, and Erniang just came back from the front yard.

"Xiaomi woke up? How do you feel?" Erniang habitually touched Xiaomi's forehead first.

"It's okay, mother, what about father and the others?"

Erniang held them up one by one: "Your father and the others are by the river. Just now your Uncle Liu came and said that there were locusts by the river. Now they have all passed."

When Er Niang spoke, her brows were slightly frowned, and there was worry in her eyes.

Xiaomi was also surprised: "Is it so fast? The locusts have already come out?"

This drought is not over yet!

Erniang nodded: "Yes, but don't worry about Xiaomi Xiaoxue. Just now, my mother has locked up the newly harvested sorghum, as well as the granary and other rooms, and everything will be fine."

Just passing the front yard at this time, Xiaomi also saw that except Aunt Yang and Qixi's room, the other rooms were locked.

Those rooms were filled with newly harvested sorghum, which had not been dried or even separated. They were hung in bundles by bamboo poles.

No one is sure whether the plague of locusts will come, let alone when it will come.

But now it's March, the weather is getting warmer, and even the thick cotton clothes have been replaced with thinner ones.

At the beginning of March in Yangchun, there are clusters of beautiful flowers in the world.

It's a pity, not to mention the flowers now, not even much green, and there are only some sorghum stalks sticking out in the field, and they are still drooping.

Erniang took them all the way to the river, where the Jiang family, old and young, were all here.

"Erniang, Xiaomi Xiaoxue, why are you here? We are all ready to go back."

When Xiaomi saw a hurdle, he jumped down and was caught by his father.

"I also want to take a look. Where are the locusts you mentioned, are there many?" As he spoke, he began to search around.

"Mom, here, look, it's still very small, not many."

Jiang Yu grabbed a locust with one hand, pinched their thighs, and showed his mother and two younger sisters.

The locust tried so hard to break free that it even broke off its thigh and fell to the ground.

Xiaomi saw it, and there were already a lot of grasshoppers on the ground, just on the original river bank.

"Father, locust plague, there will really be locust plague!" Xiaomi grabbed Jiang Hu's shoulder tightly, anxious.

What she was worried about really happened!

She heard Liu Ze and her eldest brother talk about it before, and she checked the information in the space. Although there are few, there are indeed traces to follow.

The drier the environment, the more suitable for locusts to hatch!

And on every square meter of land, at least 20 locust eggs can be stored!When they all hatched and turned into worms, the number was even more astonishing!
And places such as river banks are hotbeds for locust eggs!

It usually takes four to six weeks to grow from a larva to an adult, but now, the first batch of locusts have grown up and will continue to reproduce...

Xiaomi's face turned pale. If it was just a guess before, now it is almost certain!
She has never seen what a locust plague looks like, but she has heard of it and reported it in the news. Wherever the locusts pass by, not a single blade of grass is left!

"Father, tell them to harvest the sorghum. We can't wait any longer! We really can't wait any longer!"

Xiaomi held Jiang Hu's shoulder tightly, feeling nervous for the first time!
She couldn't imagine what it would be like not to leave a single blade of grass, but it must be terrifying, just this word is scary enough!

Xiaomi was really a little scared. Everyone had endured for so long. I heard from my father that it might be raining recently, and the locusts came out again.

I'm afraid everyone has almost eaten all the food they saved before. How important is the sorghum in the field now?

Xiaomi may not care about the lives of other people, but she knows how crazy things people can do when they are in a desperate situation!

Just for this alone, she can't watch the villagers have accidents!
This is also related to the safety of the Jiang family!
Jiang Hu hugged Xiaomi all the time, he could feel Xiaomi's nervousness, and after hearing what she said, he looked directly at Liu Yang.

There is no need for Jiang Hu to say anything, Liu Yang will understand in seconds.

"Brother Jiang, take the children back first. I'll inform other people about this. Liu Hai, let's go. You run back quickly and tell your mother and grandma to hide all the food!"

While talking, he had already pulled his bangs and ran away!

Locusts eat everything, and there are already locusts by the river. Although there are still few locusts, this is already an early warning, and no one dares to bet.

Jiang Hu patted Xiaomi on the back to reassure her: "Let's go back first and put away everything, especially the food."

Aunt Liu Boyang and the others have all come over. Everyone has seen Xiaomi's nervousness just now.

Uncle Liu was sullen, with his hands behind his back: "Whether Xiaomi is the reincarnation of the little lucky star or not, children's intuition is the most accurate, and this matter must be taken seriously!"

"Master, Brother Jiang, have you noticed that there seem to be more locusts than when we first came to the river?"

Qixi squatted down and grabbed two locusts.

"Qixi is right. When we first came, there were not so many locusts."

Liu Ze's affirmation made everyone's hearts sink even more.

"How about this, Xiao Jiang, you guys go back first. By the way, the houses in the cattle and horses must be locked up. There are too many locusts, but they can bite even people. I will also go to the village."

At this time, several people had already arrived on the road by the river. Uncle Liu turned his footsteps and headed towards the village.

Liu Ze and Jiang Yu followed closely behind.

After all, Uncle Liu is different from the villagers. If he told the villagers about this, at least it would be easier to convince people than Liu Yang.

Jiang Hu couldn't care so much about others now, and took everyone home, not to mention food, even the thatch and sorghum stalks were all stuffed into the woodshed.

The cowshed originally had no door, but now the door panel on the side of the old house was directly removed, and the door of the cowshed was closed.

The grain in the granary was also moved into the cellar. At least in the cellar, there was no possibility of the window paper being bitten by leeches.

When locusts are hungry, they will eat anything, even hay. This is not just nonsense from Xiaomi, but Liu Ze and the others have seen it in books before.

In the past, I was worried that the cellar would be damp, and I couldn’t put food in it. I only put sweet potatoes in it. Who knew it wouldn’t rain for several months, let alone damp. Now the cellar is extremely dry.

Uncle Liu went around the village and came back, it was already dark, Jiang Hu and the others had already put away all the food, Er Niang made some food casually, and the village chief came to find him.

Some of the people who still kept the sorghum didn't dare to wait any longer, and went to work in the fields with torches. Of course, some ignored them, thinking that they made a fuss.

However, when the village chief found him, Jiang Hu was still a little surprised. After all, it was already dark, and everyone usually rested at this moment.

Not only the village head, but also a few older people in the village, and of course Liu Yang, who wants to get together for everything.

Jiang Hu welcomed the people in, and wanted to lead everyone inside to talk first, but the village chief waved his hand.

"Little Jiang, we won't go in. I'm looking for you now, just to ask if you want to go to the river together."

Jiang Hu was taken aback: "What are you doing by the river? Catching bugs? There are so many, we can't catch them all, right?"

Just a few of them, how many bugs can they catch?
Liu Yang: "It's not Brother Jiang. The old men said there is another way. Let's try it first. Someone has already passed by. Do you want to go with us?"

Another old man nodded: "That's right, but this method needs firewood. Xiao Jiang, do you have any firewood at home, and I want to borrow some."
