Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

"There are at least ten or twenty corpses in the dam, and many of them are about to rot." The men who dived into the water said so after they climbed into the boat.

County Magistrate Sun's face was also extremely ugly, and he sighed helplessly: "Then we can only tie up the person who died recently with a rope and see if he can be dragged out. Let's go to the shore first to discuss."

In this age, there is no explosives, and it is impossible to blow up the dam. Fortunately, the iron mines are closed, and these poisoned beavers will die soon, and the river will gradually return to calm. As long as this time Just don't go into the water, everyone.

There are still many people on the shore waiting for the news, and when they saw the boat that caught the 'water ghost' came back, they all gathered around.

The county magistrate Sun asked people to hang the "water ghost" on the stage for everyone to show, explaining that it was an animal called a beaver, which lost all its fur after being poisoned, and looked like a water ghost.

Afterwards, they ordered someone to put up a sign by the river, warning everyone not to swim in the water for three months, and everyone discussed it for a while and then dispersed.

When Shen Yu'an and Ji Xun left Dahe Town and returned to Shenjia Village, County Magistrate Sun was already organizing manpower and boats to go to the dam built by the beaver to salvage the remains of the victims.

On the carriage back, Ji Feng asked in disbelief: "Sister-in-law, did that dragging 'water ghost' really grow hair?" He took a special look at the beaver that was hung in the center of the stage.

"Yes, that's called a beaver. It's an animal that lives at the bottom of the water. It has black hair~~ Go back and let my sister-in-law draw it for you."

"Yeah, sister-in-law is amazing, she understands everything."

It's May, and the seedlings are growing lush and green, and it's time for ears to come out in a short time.

According to the international practice, Shen Yuan came to the portable space in the middle of the night, and after practicing kung fu in the martial arts gym, he walked around the town. He remembered that he had been busy practicing kung fu during this time, and he hadn't visited many shops.

"Okay." Shen Hailin nodded in response, and continued to discuss with everyone about the funeral for the victims

White-cut chicken made at night, with cucumbers on a plate.

The rice field was full of water, and Mrs. Wang didn't dare to make trouble anymore, but she found that there were a lot of grasshoppers on the seedlings, and it would be delicious if they caught them and made a cake~~.

This is a very advanced thing. In this kind of ancient countryside, harvesting and threshing of millet all depended on clapping with hands, which was laborious and slow.If you have this semi-automatic threshing machine, the speed will be fast.

Ji Feng's praise during the meal was affirmative, and even Ji Xun said: "This dish of Yu'an can be added to the restaurant's new menu."

"So Ah Feng has to study hard. My sister-in-law is a martial arts prodigy. Your brother said it, hee hee." Shen Yuan proudly patted the melon seeds on Ji Feng's little head, wiped off his sweat and went to the kitchen to make breakfast.

"I'm back, Ah Xun Yu." Shen Hailin came towards the carriage and handed over a key, "The house has been well-built and sanitation has been done, this is the key to the gate."

Shen Yuan thought for a while, planted all the farms with this kind of genetically modified potatoes, and then went out to sleep.

"I'm afraid it's not good. So many locusts will cause a plague of locusts."

After returning home, as usual, Ji Xun led the horse to feed it, Shen Yuan went to cut leaves to feed the rabbit, and went to look at the water in his rice field.

It's a pity that it's expensive, tens of thousands of gold coins, and it's not very useful to buy it now, so I'll talk about it in the future.

"Yeah, yes." Shen Yu'an giggled, planning to add this new dish after returning to the county in two days.

Someone answered: "Who knows? It seems that the next county flew over, and I don't know if the next county is serious or not."

After leaving the agricultural tool store, Shen Yuan went to the seed store to have a look again, and made another major discovery here. The seed store sells a kind of insect-resistant crops, similar to modern genetically modified species.After planting, the insects will not eat, which saves a very important process.

Shen Yuan was surprised when she heard their discussion. Is that a locust? She thought it was a grasshopper. In fact, she couldn’t tell the difference between a grasshopper and a locust. After all, there has never been a locust plague in modern times. what?
But in ancient times, it was a devastating catastrophe. Wherever the locusts passed by, there was a barren area, and the entire country might suffer disaster.

"Then where did this locust come from?" Someone asked.

Everyone was also disturbed by the locust incident. The village chief even organized a locust hunting team to hunt around, but it was still useless. There were more and more locusts every day.

Early the next morning, Ji Xun took Shen Yu'an and Ji Feng to practice kung fu, especially leaving an open space of more than 100 square meters on the right side of the courtyard for sword practice.

As soon as the carriage entered the village, I heard a family crying sadly. They left home happily in the morning, and disappeared at night. Things are impermanent, alas!
The gate of the victim's house was full of people, everyone looked dignified, shaking their heads and sighing.

"Yeah." Ji Xun took the key, "I invite everyone to come to my house tomorrow to settle the wages."

When I saw this, my jaw almost dropped. There was actually a small threshing machine in the farm tool store that is used in the modern countryside.

When we came to the well, everyone was also talking about it with anxiety.

"Yeah, the seedlings in my field have been gnawed to pieces."
"What should we do? The ears of grain are about to come out. I'm afraid there will be no harvest if we make such a fuss."

After dinner in the evening, the family of three played chess for a while before going to bed.

After breakfast, Shen Yuan took the clothes basin to the well and passed the paddy field on the way, only to see grasshoppers jumping in the paddy field, as if there were more and more grasshoppers.

After Ji Xun and Shen Yuan greeted everyone, they drove the carriage to the foot of the North Mountain. When they met Ji Feng's friends on the road, Ji Feng got out of the car and ran away like a group of friends.

After Shen Yu'an and Ji Xun sent Ji Feng back to the academy, they also rushed back to catch the locusts, seeing the hard-working seedlings being gnawed to pieces, helpless.

"Sister-in-law, when did your kung fu become so good?" Ji Feng was also very surprised to see that Shen Yuan was able to fight Ji Xun for dozens of rounds.

The house is completely built, spacious and comfortable like a small park, there is a rockery pond in the front yard, the lotus in the pond is in bud, the hillside on the left is full of flowers and plants, and a gazebo is built, a long corridor leads directly to the gazebo, and the backyard is full of whirling flowers. The peach forest is so beautiful.

That evening, a group of things suddenly flew over from the east in a dark mass, covering the clouds and blocking out the sun.

"A large swarm of locusts is here? It's all over now." The people who were catching locusts in the rice fields all showed despair.This swarm of locusts soon covered the entire Shenjia Village, densely packed, overwhelming the sky.

But in just two or three days, all the crops in the field were devoured by them, and the green village turned into a gray area in an instant.

"A Xun, where will this swarm of locusts fly to?" Looking at the swarm of locusts flocking to other places like dark clouds, Shen Yuan asked worriedly.

Ji Xun frowned: "They have no target, they will just sweep all the way, eat up everything that can be eaten, and then change to another place, and they will not be completely destroyed until the autumn is cold."
