The farm girl has a field and is super powerful

Chapter 147 What is this?

"In the end, I don't know who called the village chief over. The village chief scolded them and told them to go back." Er Fatty continued.

"However, I heard that the whole family was smashed to death that week. The doors, windows and walls all collapsed. Even the hen laying eggs in the family was trampled to death by someone, and the eggs in the family were also taken away."

"..." Bai Jinli.

If those people dare to go to her house to make trouble like this, let alone her, her mother alone can spray those people to death.

Zhouquan's family, no way.

"Who are the people who went to look for things? I wrote down their names. We will not look for them when we do anything in the future."

These people are too uncertain, and they are easily agitated by a little fanfare, unable to think rationally, so it is better not to interact.

"Got it, boss."

"By the way, how's the situation at Dami's house?" Bai Jinli couldn't help asking, thinking of Little Cherry.

"I told Dami to let his family harvest the wheat earlier. He also told his parents, but his parents didn't take it seriously. Instead, Dami secretly harvested a batch of wheat, which is probably enough to last for a while."

"Well, that's better than having nothing at all. When you go to harvest the fruit later, bring rice with you." Bai Jinli suggested.

"Well, boss, I think so too." Er Fatty nodded and smiled.

The implication of his boss's words is already obvious, that is, let him help the rice more.

"Well, okay, then you go to work!"

In the afternoon, old man Bai went to look at the fields, and all the crops in the paddy fields had been gnawed, and there was basically nothing left.

The people in the village became more and more desperate, and each one of them carried their baskets and took their children to the field to pick wheat ears.

After being swept away by locusts, the crops were destroyed, but didn't they drive away the locusts in the end?There must be some left over, right?
Anyway, I don't have anything to do now, so I went to the field, how much can I pick up?

Compared to other people who were picking ears of wheat in the field, Bai Jinli's family was picking... locusts.

There are a large number of locusts that have just fallen, so naturally they need to be dealt with.

The ones that just fell were okay, so I picked them up and gave them to the chickens, which was considered an extra meal.

If it takes a long time, the locust can only find a way to deal with it, dig a hole and bury it, and use it as nourishment.

Otherwise, who knows what kind of problems will arise from the densely packed locust corpses.

Bai Jinli once heard a saying that the drought is extreme and the locusts have appeared. Now that the locusts have appeared, does it mean that the severe drought will continue?
It seems that the idea of ​​digging a well in the old house that she thought at the time had to be put on the agenda, and all the food needed water, so she couldn't find someone to fetch water every day, it was too troublesome.

Just do what you say, and when Bai Tianqi picked up a wave of locusts from the ground and started feeding them to the chickens at home, the chickens were really interested in those locusts.

Then I heard Bai Jinli say to him: "Second brother, do you know the well digger?"

"I don't know, what's the matter, little sister?" Bai Baiqi was a little confused, why did his little sister figure it out all at once.

"I want to dig a well in the courtyard of the old house, just for a few days. If you don't know me, I'll go to the county tomorrow to ask."

"Dig a well? Are you going to dig a well at home? Are you sure?" Bai Baiqi looked at her strangely.

"Sure, sure! Why, do you have an opinion?" Bai Jinli raised her eyebrows.

"No, no, since you want to dig a well, little girl, then do it! I'll go to the town to ask you in a while. I heard that there are people in the town who can dig wells." Bai Baiqi shook his head hastily.

Both Mr. Bai and Mrs. Li have told him. From now on, he must listen more to what Bai Jinli said, and he is not allowed to refute, otherwise he will not eat.

And just as the little girl predicted the locust plague, the disaster really happened. Who knows if the little girl discovered something shocking while digging a well.

"That's all right, thank you, Second Brother."

Sure enough, after speaking, Tian Qi drove his family's donkey cart to the town to inquire about drilling wells, and when he came back in the evening, he would talk to Bai Jinli, and he had already made a deal.

The person who drilled the well had time the next day, and he drove a donkey cart to pick up the people. The requirement of those people was to check the terrain before deciding whether it was suitable for drilling a well.

If it is suitable, the four of them can start working immediately, but they have to take care of food and shelter during the few days of drilling the well.

If they don't stay, they have to be sent back to the town before dark.

After listening to it, Bai Jinli felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so she nodded in agreement.

After the well diggers arrived, Bai Jinli asked Bai Baiqi to take them to the old house.

Those people looked quite professional. They analyzed the place and Feng Shui, asked about the general situation, and then circled a place in the backyard, saying that they could try it.

In this way, the work of digging the well was successfully kicked off.

After Bai Jinli caught a sack of locusts and tried frying them once, the family members were very resistant at first, but in the end they felt that the taste was not bad. It was not as good as crayfish in the past, and they all regretted that the locusts came I didn't grab a few more sacks during the attack.

I heard that the family that bought Wang Tiezhu's land went to his house yesterday to find trouble and scolded him.

At the beginning, Wang Tiezhu obviously thought of them, so he started harvesting wheat in advance, which made his family have food reserves unlike those in the village.

But even so, they were not grateful, but said that Wang Tiezhu deliberately played bad things.

I have already learned from the Bai family that such a thing will happen, and sold the land to them on purpose, just to cheat their money and let the land fall into their hands.

Wang Tiezhu explained for a long time, but the family didn't listen, and the tone of scolding him and Bai's family was even more fierce.

Then, they were sent back by Mrs. Tu.

At the beginning, they had no choice but to make that decision because they couldn't live on.

The land was originally sold at a low price, and those people were obviously rushing to pick up a bargain.

Now seeing the locust plague happened, and the grains failed to harvest, I regretted it again. I felt that I had spent unjustly money and felt uncomfortable, so I came here to make trouble.

Fortunately, Mrs. Tu is not soft-tempered, so he sent them away with a few words.

The family was still not reconciled, so they approached Wang Tiezhu again and asked him to buy their land back at the previous price.

When Tu Shi sneered, she said, "Okay, I want us to buy the land back at the previous price. There is no problem, but all the wheat we cut in the field will be sent back to us."

At that time, the wheat that Wang Tiezhu harvested was harvested from the land sold by their family, which was at least an acre and a half, and it could last for a long time as rations.

That family was naturally unwilling. The extra wheat was because they had more confidence than other people in the village, so it was impossible to send it out.

So the matter stalled.

After the well drilling started, Bai Jinli brought old master Bai and Bai Baiqi over to help her keep an eye on the progress, while she went to the county town.

When we arrived at the county seat, we really heard that there were a lot of news.

This locust plague not only destroyed their Stone Village, but also the surrounding thirteen counties in two provinces.

A large number of crops failed, and there was a sound of painful wailing.

And their Qinglin County did not rank among the worst-hit counties.

I heard that the people in Sanhuang Village started harvesting wheat a few days earlier, and they suffered the smallest losses among all the villages.

Unless there are two other villages, the wheat ripens a day or two earlier than other places in previous years, and some of them barely harvest some wheat at home.

Even so, for people like them, the future is still difficult.

The local government officials have reported this matter to the imperial court. As for the reaction of the imperial court, until now, there is no news.

Because of what happened, even the people in the county seemed a little less.

However, Bai Jinli was a little bit happier. Such a situation in Sanhuang Village meant that the letter she wrote to her uncle's family had been received.

Not only did they receive it, but they also listened to her advice and made preparations in advance, which was very good.

After the locust plague happened, people paid less attention to the bandits who had not caught the news for a long time.

Even the missing child still has no news.

Many people even forget about it.

When Bai Jinli arrived at Zhong Ling's Embroidery Workshop, she handed over the preserved pork she had brought to Mrs. Zhong Ling, and by the way, the snowflake peanuts she had been tinkering with recently.

"Sister Jinli, you are really the best. I think about you every day, and now I can see you coming."

Mrs. Zhong Ling enthusiastically pulled her over to sit down, poured tea, picked up a piece of dried pork and started to eat.

"Well, it's really delicious. It's the taste I miss."

"Eat more if you like it, it's not too much of a hindrance anyway." Bai Jinli took a sip of tea with a teacup in hand.

"By the way, I've been talking about the locust plague recently. How is your family's situation?" Thinking of this, Mrs. Zhong Ling asked with concern.

"My family is fine. I harvested all the wheat in the field before the locust plague. The loss is not too great. By the way, there is one more thing for you to try."

With that said, Bai Jinli took out the fried locusts she packed.

"Really? Then you are very lucky. I heard that this year's disaster will be serious. I'm afraid there will be a famine year, and I don't know how many people will starve to death."

Mrs. Zhong Ling took the things that Bai Jinli handed over as she spoke, and after taking a look at them, she was shocked.

"What is this? Bug...bug? Can it be eaten?"

"This is a locust that has eaten food, also called a grasshopper. Naturally, it is edible. It is high in protein and low in fat. In addition to the current food and drink, it is nutritious and does not grow meat. It can also relieve cough and asthma." Bai Jin Pear was talking.

"Really...really?" Mrs. Zhong Ling pinched one in her hand and smelled it, the smell was indeed very fragrant.

But she looked at that thing, but she couldn't say anything.

While struggling, she saw a hand suddenly appearing in front of her, and took away the fried locust she was holding.
