Lord National Teacher, please forgive me

Chapter 498 Ancient Farmer (10)

When the villagers saw that Qin Yi, the most knowledgeable person in the village, had started to pick up locusts, many of them stopped hesitating and went home with sacks to start picking.

Many elderly people in the village have experienced disaster years and know what is most precious in disaster years!

Even if there are mountains of gold and silver in a disaster year, if you can't buy food, you will starve to death.

Under the leadership of Qin Yi, the whole village, no matter the old, the young, or the children, caught locusts one by one with a cloth bag.

But there are too many locusts, and it is impossible to catch them all.

After the locusts passed through the green spot on the mountain, there was almost nothing left.

Some locusts are even bold enough to greet people.

Fortunately, the villagers were no longer afraid of locusts. When they saw locusts that dared to jump on them, they trampled to death.

The whole village kept catching locusts without resting at night. They lit bonfires and torches by the roadside to catch locusts.

Qin Yi and Qin Shouren were catching locusts outside, while Feng Ling was in charge of washing the locusts caught by their father and son, and frying them in a frying pan!
Or directly dry it on a kang and grind it into locust powder
Otherwise, it won't last long.

Other families in the village followed Feng Ling's example.

Because there were too many locusts, they had prepared enough food anyway, so the whole village set off after three days to catch the locusts.

Qin Shouyi looked at the food piled up in Qin Shouren's house, and said with some regret, "Brother, I regret that I didn't listen to you back then!"

Hearing what Qin Shouyi said, Qin Shouren was still very happy, but said: "It's okay, it's not too late, your family can catch more locusts, and they can be used as food."

"Even if the locusts are eaten up in the end, can the elder brother watch you starve to death?"

Qin Shouyi thought so too. Afterwards, escaping for his life would definitely have to trouble his eldest brother's family. Qin Shouyi became even more respectful to Qin Shouren.

Qin Shouli's family also returned to the village and fled south with everyone.

Qin Shouli brought Qin Shao and his son Sun Wanyu back.

Sun Wanyu's eyes were red, Qin Yi saw it, pulled Qin Shao aside and asked, "What's wrong?"

Qin Shao sighed, "Dad and I decided to go south with you, and Wanyu also wants to take her family with me."

"It's a pity," Qin Shao said, "my father-in-law doesn't believe me. He thinks that even if the disaster year comes, their family has saved so much food, and they will be able to get through it safely. He refuses to give up the family business and walk with us."

Qin Yi nodded, expressing his understanding. He can understand Qin Shao's father-in-law's thoughts. After all, how many people are willing to throw away their family business for a lifetime?
After several days of catching locusts day and night, the number of locusts in their village has decreased a lot. Many people have not stopped the fire in the past three days, and the kang has been burning.

The villagers completely believed Qin Yi's words. Many daughters-in-law who married into the village did not want their natal family to suffer, and went home one after another to persuade their natal family to go with them.

But few people believe it, and most people don't believe it!
When they were fully prepared and ready to go on the road, Qin Yi counted and found that there were 1669 people in total.

There are more than 400 people from other villages.

That night, as soon as it got dark, Qin Yi stood in front of the crowd, holding a torch in his hand, glanced behind him, and waved his hand, "Let's go!"

In the dark night, a fire dragon composed of torches moves forward slowly in the dark night!

Feng Ling sat in the car, the car was very spacious, and the driver was a young man from the village named Xiaoshu, whose family had a large population, so Qin Yi discussed with that family and asked Xiaoshu to drive the car for their family, and they were responsible for Xiaoshu's daily life Three meals.

Xiaoshu's family was naturally overjoyed and wished for it.

In addition, Qin Yi also hired a young man to drive a car for Qin Shouren and Qin Shouli's family. They were all young people in the village, and they didn't need to pay any money.

The Qin family's food is good, and these young men are very willing.

Xiaoshu drove the car well. Although Fengling felt a little bumpy in the car, it was not violent.

Feng Ling sat cross-legged on the thick quilt and began to enter the state of cultivation.

After Qin Yi walked for a while, he changed to another person. This person was an old man in the village who was familiar with the surrounding terrain, so he didn't have to worry about going the wrong way.

After Qin Yi returned to the carriage, he saw Feng Ling was practicing and did not disturb him. He also sat cross-legged beside Feng Ling and began to practice.

Until the sky was getting brighter, Qin Yi asked people to stop at the foot of a barren mountain.

There are so many of them, it is too eye-catching to drive during the day, it is best to drive at night and rest during the day.

After practicing for one night, Feng Ling not only didn't feel tired, but was full of energy.

In the morning, others have already started cooking.

Seeing Feng Ling getting off the carriage, Qin Yi hurried over and said to Feng Ling, "I've already set up a hot pot."

Feng Ling nodded, and followed Qin Yi to the pot, and the two joined hands to boil a pot of thick millet porridge. Feng Ling took out the pickled vegetables and salted eggs.

After Qin Shouren got up, he saw that Feng Ling had prepared breakfast, and was even more satisfied with this daughter-in-law.

When Xiaoshu saw the salted eggs for breakfast, his eyes turned into crescents.

The Qin family was generous and did not limit how much Xiaoshu could eat. Xiaoshu ate a lot when he was growing up. When he was at home, his mother would call him a reincarnation of a starving ghost if he ate too much.

In the Qin family, he can eat as much as he wants.

After eating, Xiao Shu took the initiative to wash the dishes, Feng Ling hurriedly said, "Give it to me."

"It's okay," Xiaoshu said with a naive smile, "Sister-in-law, we often do this job at home!"

When Qin Yi saw it, he said, "Xiao Shu, I remember you have a younger sister, one year younger than you, called Xiao Miao, right?"

Xiao Shu nodded, "Yeah."

Qin Yi said again: "If your sister is okay, come to my house to help cook a meal, wash clothes, and we will take care of the meal."

Xiaoshu's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he nodded hurriedly, "Okay, okay, Brother Qin, I'll go find my sister right away, she must be happy."

Xiaoshu's mother favors sons over daughters, and she has many children. Boys eat more food and are scolded, let alone girls.

After a while, Xiao Shu pulled a thin and small girl over. The girl seemed very shy and kept her head down.

Qin Yi smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, Xiao Miao, you will help with the laundry and cooking."

Xiaoshu said from the side: "You work hard, Xiao Miao, brother Qin's family is doing well, we don't care how much we eat."

After hearing this, Xiao Miao raised her head a little and replied in a low voice, "En!"
