My whole family traveled across time with an encyclopedia

Ning Changrong didn't say anything, he just told the village head that the food in the county had started to skyrocket, maybe something happened, the people in the city were better informed than them, so it was always right to follow suit, let him tell everyone Talk to the guys and ask them if they want to stock up on some.

Ning Village Chief is old and smart. Although he doesn't know the specific situation, but seeing Ning Changrong like this, he probably knows something. Otherwise, he wouldn't go to the county one after another a few days ago. The entrance fee of three Wenqian, plus the words of the bullock cart.But it is obviously inconvenient for the other party to say the specific reason, this is to remind them.

Village head Ning thought for a moment, then ordered his son to pass on the news, and then asked him to go to the city to inquire about the news.

"Father! Something might really happen! The price of food in the city has increased by more than ten yuan! I bought all the one or two silver you asked me to bring with me, so I just bought these." I could have bought five hundred catties of food. With the money, I only bought three hundred catties now.

People in the county were in panic, and many people gathered around the gate of the grain shop to buy grain.Ningcun's eldest son squeezed in for a long time.

Village head Ning suddenly stood up, he didn't expect the matter to be so serious, the price of food rose too much, he looked serious, "Quickly, go tell the news to the villagers again, so that everyone who has money in their families can take it quickly." Come out, no matter how expensive this food is, you have to stock up some for your family! Maybe it will be their life in the future!"

After speaking, he ordered the other sons in the family to take the money, only keep some for emergency use, and use the rest to buy grain in the county.

After hearing this, the eldest son of Ning Village went down to spread the word.

There are not many people in the village who believe in it. Many people don't have much money in their hands. They are all preparing to plant cabbage in the spring. They are not willing to spend money to buy the extra grain, but the village head has notified twice seriously. I also realized the seriousness of the matter. Although I was reluctant to spend too much money, I gritted my teeth and was able to spend half of the family's savings to buy food. I was heartbroken while buying. If it was normal, I could buy a hundred catties of food. I can only buy more than half of it now.

After returning, Ning Changrong chatted with his grandfather and grandson for a while, and then went out to start digging the cellar.

Ning Changrong was relieved to see all the grain locked in the cellar for several days in a row, filled to the brim.

No matter what the outside world is like, his family is safe anyway.

The weather is getting warmer, and some tenacious grasses have begun to drill out of the ground.

Ning Changrong asked Wang Xiujuan, but the temperature is already good enough to grow Chinese cabbage.

But they still couldn't relax for a while, and decided to wait and see.

He found that nothing happened, and guessed that the locusts would not come. Just as he was about to start planting cabbage with each household, a few people in ragged clothes appeared in the village.

Nothing happened this month. Some people in the village began to complain that they bought high-priced food at a loss. The appearance of these people made them feel lucky again.

Several people were dressed in rags, and they looked yellow, thin and frightening. When they entered the village and ran to Ning Daniu's house to steal food, they were discovered by Mrs. Cheng. She ran out and called her son. Niu, two people holding tools, otherwise they might not be able to beat these shabby-looking refugees who are risking their lives for food.

After tying them up, Ning Daniu asked his younger brother to go to the village head's house to call for someone.

Those in the village who heard the news came to watch, and a group of people were pointing fingers.

Ning Qingxi looked at these people in a miserable state, feeling even worse than the villagers who had returned from corvee service. His face was pale, his limbs were skinny, but his stomach was swollen, and he seemed to be crumbling. Godlessness is like a walking body.

Wang Xiujuan could tell at a glance that these people were dying soon, and she knew exactly what was in their stomachs.

Avalokitesvara soil, you can't pull it out after eating it, you can only wait for death.Just by looking at their faces, it was only a matter of a day or two.

Ning Daniu frowned and pointed at these people, "I heard my mother say that these people ran to my kitchen desperately to steal food. Whose food is not counted? How can there be extra food? give them?"

"Everyone, don't look at them, they are thin and small, each of them is very strong. If it weren't for our two brothers holding the guy in their hands, we might not be able to beat them."

A group of people gave pointers for a long time, and the village head came after hearing the news.

Seeing the village head Ning Daniu asked quickly:
"Village chief, what are these people going to do? Are they going to be escorted to the government?"

You can't stay in their village to eat and drink for nothing, right?
Ning Daniu is famous for his strength. He said that these people who looked like they were about to die were actually stronger than him. The villagers couldn't believe it.

Then I thought that if they were so hungry, I suddenly realized that eating food could have such a lot of strength. I couldn't help being afraid for a while. No one complained that I bought high-priced food. It would be best if the matter didn't affect them, but if If something really happened, and they hadn't bought food by then, it would really be a shame every day, and the land would not work.

Village head Ning frowned, a little undecided. These people looked like refugees from the beginning, and they were probably sent to the government. At most, they were kicked out of the county after a few boards. gone too.

"Where do you come from?"

After asking for a long time, one of the four refugees said hoarsely: "Jinzhou, locust plague."

Village Chief Ning was horrified after hearing this. Could this be the reason why Ning Changrong asked them to stockpile food? !
He asked quickly, but the man didn't speak again.

The surrounding villagers naturally heard it, locust plague!No one is stupid, and they all understand why the village chief asked everyone to hoard food.

Everyone was overwhelmed with fright, dripping with cold sweat, and the elderly man was trembling even more. It was a plague of locusts!Crowds and swarms cover the sky and cover the sky, and they can eat everything they pass.

Although spring planting has not started in their village, it will be soon. If there is a plague of locusts, there will be nothing left.

A group of people listened to the village chief asking those people, but they were anxious when they said nothing. They thought that the high-priced food bought at home was enough, but now they can’t wait to go home and continue to buy more food. The family has no money I planned to go up the mountain to dig more wild vegetables and come back. If the locusts come over, nothing will be left for you.

Just as Village Chief Ning was thinking about what to do with these people, one of the four refugees suddenly fell down clutching his stomach, rolling his eyes.

There was a piercing sound in his throat, "Ho ho ho."

The villagers backed away in fright, and let go of the remaining three refugees who were holding them down.

After the three refugees were let go, they didn't run or make trouble, and sat there with blank eyes, chewing something in their mouths.The refugee who saw the fallen was also indifferent.

Wang Xiujuan also pulled Ning Qingxi back a few steps.

This was the first time that Ning Qingxi saw a dead person with his own eyes.She was sure that this person was dead. She didn't know how to describe her mood, as if she had a feeling that it was finally here?
