Blessed little peasant girl

Chapter 92

The locust plague is a major event, and it is better to make a mistake than to take chances.

In particular, Jin Liangshun apparently fled from the famine. He pinched the bug and said it was a locust, and many people in the village believed it.

And at this time, it happened to be the time to collect grain, so there was a sacrifice, and I just wanted to wait for an auspicious day!
But now that they hear that the locust plague is coming, they must be in a hurry to panic!

Jin Liangshun carried the old village head to the surrounding villages and passed it on. After he got here, the old village head didn't rest. He called back the villagers who were all busy in the fields, caught two chickens and killed them, and made up a worship ceremony. Then I drove the big guys to harvest again.

This time it's a rush harvest, working day and night!

This kind of rush harvest should have been complained by people, but there are more and more bugs, and the speed of gnawing at the dealer is very fast. Those who were still thinking about luck did not dare to procrastinate, and harvested in a hurry. I'm afraid that the food I've been working for half a year will be ruined by these little guys!
Just like that, the villagers rushed to harvest for a day and a night. They were so tired that they didn't dare to rest. Men, women, and children went to battle, and they didn't dare to dry the harvested grain, so they moved it back home.

But even so, a small half of the fields in the village had not been recovered, and the locust army arrived early the next morning!

The army of locusts was so overwhelming that even the villagers had to give in. They cried and went home, closed the doors and windows, and blocked all the gaps. Then the family caught the locusts that had entered the house.

Some families are miserable, living in thatched huts with thatched roofs.

Usually nothing happened, locusts crossed the border, these little things actually laid hands on the roof of the thatched house, and quickly ate the roof clean!
These villagers also didn't care about the food at home, so they could only cover their heads with clothes, crying and asking for help from other families who used mud tiles.

There are not many people who build houses with mud tiles in the village. The Jin family is one of them. Many people flocked to the Jin family. , The disaster is still going on!
Seeing more and more people pouring into Jin's house, Jin Liangshun thought for a while, and actually wanted to transfer Jin Meiyu back to the mountain!
"Meiyu, I'll send you away first, there will definitely be chaos here, and after you leave, I will let your nephews come and live in your house, and give up their houses, do you think so?"

Jin Meiyu was also very anxious by the locusts outside, so she asked Jin Liangshun.

"Daddy, is the situation outside dangerous?"

"Dangerous, those little things are natural disasters!"

"Then Daddy, I will leave. I know that if I am here, I will cause trouble for Daddy."

Jin Liangshun's heart, which was still a little restless, softened in an instant. He squatted down, touched Jin Meiyu's two small knobs, and hugged her up.

"How can my daughter cause trouble to Daddy? My daughter will never cause trouble to Daddy! It's just that it's too unsafe here. Daddy is afraid that my daughter will be hurt. Don't think too much about it, let's go!"

Jin Meiyu nodded. In this situation, as a child, Jin Meiyu felt that she should be obedient.

Moreover, Jin Meiyu also proposed to Jin Liangshun.

"Why don't we all go and go back to the mountain, where there are green brick and big tile houses, they must be stronger!"

Jin Liangshun shook his head.

"This is not possible. I can let your nephew accompany you, and then let your brothers live here. Your mother will forget it. She can't go to the mountains for the time being."

"why?"

"Meiyu, not everyone can keep their hearts in the face of wealth."

Jin Meiyu is still young, even if she has learned some principles, she still doesn't understand many things.

Just like now, she can't understand her father very much.

"How will you know if you don't try? My mother is very good, she will definitely be able to adapt to a good life!" The mother is suffering, but she eats and drinks on the mountain. Jin Meiyu eats delicious food every time. All good things are very guilty.

Jin Liangshun still shook his head and explained to Jin Meiyu.

"You can't try this, Meiyu. Daddy taught you that people's hearts cannot be tested. If you try, you will never be able to go back to the past! She is your mother, and also the mother of your brothers. , The person who died in the same hole. Your mother has many shortcomings, these are not her fault, they are brought to her by her original family, since she has become my wife, it is my responsibility, I have the responsibility to teach Instead of waiting for her to make a mistake, she is thinking about how to make it up, and that's over!"

Jin Meiyu curled her lips, she couldn't say anything about her father, so she could only bury her head in Jin Liangshun's neck and stopped talking.

Jin Liang shunned Jin Meiyu's back, then shook her quilt and put her on it!

Jin Meiyu was a little dazed, and didn't understand why her father had to put herself on the quilt, and put herself very straight.

"Daddy, what are you doing? Aren't we going to the mountains?"

Jin Liangshun nodded, and then started to roll up Jin Meiyu!

"Don't move, Meiyu. It's dangerous outside. Daddy will roll you up with a quilt, tie one end and put the other end in the frame, so that you can breathe and won't be bitten by insects!"

Jin Meiyu obediently was rolled around twice, but couldn't help asking.

"Then why didn't daddy put me in the basket and cover it with a lid?"

"That basket is so uncomfortable, and some of the gaps are quite large. What if bugs get in? It's better to be safe!"

Jin Liangshun rolled up Jin Meiyu, and as he said, tied one end with a rope first to ensure that no locusts would get in.

Then I found a basket and came back, first spread a layer of cloth inside, and then put Jin Meiyu into it!

After finishing all this, Jin Liangshun went to inform Jin Mangu and the others to prepare.

The preparation is to wrap the head, face, hands and so on, and then you can leave after wrapping up.

Jin Liangshun didn't disturb anyone, just stayed there and the group of children left, Zhao Xiaohua was the only one who saw it, but when she was about to ask, she was stopped by her eldest son.

Because of her natal family's affairs, Zhao Xiaohua was a little weak when facing the Jin family, even her own son.

Therefore, even though they were curious about where they were going in such a situation, they didn't say anything. Instead, they helped kill all the locusts that came running in. We can't keep any of these little things!
Jin Liangshun's speed was very fast. It was considered safe for a group of them to go up the mountain by the secret road. When they reached the mountain, there was no problem at all with Granny Jin supporting them!
Jin Liangshun sent the children to the top of the mountain, and went back without leaving the secret path.

When Jin Meiyu was released sweating, she only saw Grandma Jin Jin Mangu and the four maidservants, she was a little puzzled.

"Where's my father?"

Grandma Jin replied.

"He has gone back, and the family still needs him to sit in town. Don't worry, everything will pass."

How could Jin Meiyu be relieved!
She sighed, very sad.

"The plague of locusts is too severe. There are so many insects. Seedlings have been planted at the bottom of the mountain. What happened to the mountain?"

"The situation is not very good. The locusts have also gone up the mountain. Wherever they go, there is no grass."

Grandma Jin spoke very calmly, but everyone present was silent.

Jin Meiyu opened her mouth, but said nothing in the end.

Jin Meiyu's mind was blank at the moment, it happened so suddenly, she didn't know what to do.

As Jin Liangshun said, the mountain is very safe.

Although the locusts had gone up the mountain, there were no locusts in the house where she lived. If she could not hear the sound of locusts gnawing outside in the house, she would have thought that the locusts had passed!

Jin Meiyu spent three days in the house with a sad face, and on the fourth day, Grandma Jin let Jin Meiyu out of the house. When she left the house, all she saw was the bare mountain.

She took a deep breath, and her stern face instantly collapsed.

The mountain has become like this, how can the mountain be better!

She looked at Granny Jin with red eyes and asked her.

"Are these locusts dead?"

"No, they went to other places, but you don't have to worry, Miss. As the saying goes, the grasshoppers after autumn will not be able to jump for a few days. The same is true for these locusts. They will all die soon."

"Then why didn't they die sooner?" It didn't seem like a five-year-old would say it, and it was vicious, but neither the person who said it nor the person who heard it said anything. Think there is something wrong.

Granny Jin sighed, she agreed with Jin Meiyu's statement.

Early death and late death are death, why didn't these little things die earlier, and came to harm them?
Of course, this cannot be said in the same way. In terms of teaching the little master, she still advocates being kind.

"This may be their fate, their lives are better."

I don't know where Granny Jin's words are so kind. Maybe she praised the life of those locusts?
Anyway, no matter what, Granny Jin thinks what she said is a good word, so it is a good word.

After hearing this, Jin Meiyu became even angrier. Looking at the bare mountain, she took a deep breath and said to Granny Jin.

"Take people to hunt some wild animals, and save them from starving to death."

There are many wild animals on the mountain, it would be a pity to wait for them to starve to death.

Granny Jin thought too much, so she nodded.

"Don't worry, we'll get things done."

Jin Meiyu didn't know what she should worry about, looking at this bare mountain, she was going to die of worry!
There are a lot of wild animals on the mountain. After Granny Jin led people to hunt some of them, she deliberately found some fixed places and left some chaff.

I don't know if the remaining wild animals can survive, let's see!

Jin Meiyu was accompanied by the children of the Jin family and four maidservants, and she was in a bad mood for a few days. After finding weeds sprouting on the ground, her mood improved a lot.

It's just that there are not many weeds sprouting, but the land that was originally covered by various plants began to dry up.

It's been a long, long, long time without rain!

This is not a good omen, Jin Meiyu looked at the sky, feeling extremely flustered.

Of course, there are also some good things.

For example, her mushroom house was saved because Flammulina velutipes were grown underground. As long as the locusts crossed the border and sealed all the entrances, even if some locusts got in, it would not cause any damage.

After the locusts passed, the mushroom house could still produce Flammulina velutipes, and later Jin Liangshun came to him, and the person who planted mushrooms for Jin Meiyu also worked out how to keep the temperature in the ground!
In other words, as long as the temperature is maintained well, even in winter, there will still be a steady stream of Flammulina velutipes growing here!

This is definitely a good thing, especially now, after the locust plague, these Flammulina velutipes have become food worth cherishing.

Jin Meiyu also knew that people would be sad for a while after the locusts passed. She hesitated for a while, but decided to continue selling Flammulina velutipes in the store.

During this period, she can't do much, and she doesn't know what happened in the past two years. There has been a drought in the north for two years, and they have been plagued by locusts again. The whole country is short of food. Can't collect food.

There is no way to collect food, and I don't know what to do, so I can only do as before.

Maybe Jin Meiyu is still thinking about making money at this time, but she is thinking about whether the price can be lowered so that ordinary people can also eat Flammulina velutipes as rations, and see if she can survive.

But her production of Flammulina velutipes really cannot supply so many people.

These Flammulina velutipes can be eaten as a side dish, but if it is really a staple food, she will be bald in half a day!

For the sake of safety, she still decided to keep things as usual, if it is not possible to change, let's see the situation first!
Another good thing is that the chickens, ducks and geese raised by Jin Meiyu are laying eggs more frequently!

Let me tell you this, during the locust transit period, these chickens, ducks and geese did not eat less. There are not many locusts on the top of the mountain, and they have a lot of credit!
Also because of their love of eating, the people on the top of the mountain who bear the names of Orion farmers caught a lot of locusts during the locust plague, and after the locust plague, they all took them out to feed chickens, ducks and geese.

These chickens, ducks and geese have only been in the past two days. After feeding all the chickens, ducks and geese that can be fed, it is time to kill the chickens, ducks and geese.

It's not that they don't want to continue to feed them, it's that after the locust plague, even people will not be able to eat, and there will be nothing to feed them!

In addition to chickens, ducks and geese, locusts were cooked and sent to pig farms.

It wasn't long before the pig raising place was built, but the piglets grew very fast, and they were bigger than the pigs of the same period. Everyone said that the widow who raised pigs could raise pigs, but only a few people knew , this method of raising pigs was given to their grandparents by Jin Meiyu!
At this moment, the pigs have also grown a bit, and it is a waste to kill and eat meat. Fortunately, the bran can last for a while. I hope that during this period of time, the pigs will grow up quickly, and there will be more meat when they are killed!
People on the mountain are busy, and people up and down are also busy!
The first is to cry.

After the locust plague, many people sat on the ground and cried loudly.

They wept for their homes that had been ravaged by locusts, and they were also weeping for the food that was doomed to be lost.

How will they live without food in the future!

In addition to crying for food and homes, some old people in the village also went, and the village needs to hold funerals for these old people.

These old people are all old and usually in good health. The reason why they died collectively is their own choice.

The filial sons and virtuous grandchildren all cried sadly, and also cried silently.
