Chapter 73 Ancient Locust Plague
At this time, the two rode horses and ran forward side by side.

"I'll close my eyes and rest for a while, don't bother me if you're fine."

"The horse's back is so bumpy, how do you rest?"

"That's what I have."

"Oh."

Jiang Chen closed his eyes and entered the cultivation state.

If you practice for a long time in this turbulent situation, the benefits will appear. First, you will be more focused. In fact, you will not be afraid of being interrupted suddenly in your future practice, which will cause your true energy to become disordered.

Tie Xinlan thought he was just closing his eyes and taking a break for a cup of tea, but he didn't expect to close his eyes for an hour.

I can rest in such a bumpy environment, could it be that my own realm is not enough.

Also, his horse is too spiritual, always running with his own horse, and will not deviate from other directions.

Jiang Chen woke up from his cultivation and saw her looking at him.

"Where have we been?"

"I don't know, I guess I ran fifty miles."

I didn't expect to run so far.

Jiang Chen looked around, the terrain here is relatively flat, which is very suitable for large-scale planting, but there are many locusts flying in the sky, and the rice in the rice fields is about to mature, it would be a pity if they were eaten up.

Is there a plague of locusts here?

The further you go inside, the more serious the situation becomes.

Traditional agriculture pays attention to intensive cultivation, but at the same time has to "depend on the sky for food".Therefore, once a locust plague occurs, it will have a serious impact on the politics, economy, and culture at that time.According to historical records, when the densely packed locusts all over the sky attacked, only the tragic scene of withered vegetation and no crops would be left behind.

Many farmers are kneeling in the fields, burning incense and kowtow.

Tie Xinlan didn't feel anything.

But Jiang Chen felt that the ancients were a bit stupid.

Why not catch locusts.

The ancient people were deeply influenced by feudal superstition, and many people regarded locusts as "divine insects".When natural disasters occurred frequently in ancient society, people felt that God was angry and sent locusts to punish the people.

Therefore, when the locust disaster occurred, the first reaction of the ancient people was not to kill the locusts, but to kowtow to the locusts in the field and offer offerings to the "divine insects" in their eyes.

A fellow countryman passed by them.

"This fellow, walk slowly."

The villager with bronze complexion looked at him strangely.

"Excuse me, how long has this locust plague been going on?"

"It's just these two days. Five or six villages here are estimated to have no crops this year, and this year will be sad again."

"Okay, thank you fellow."

When the fellow left, Jiang Chen touched his chin with his hand, looking like he was thinking.

"What are you thinking?"

"I'm thinking about how to help these villagers."

"How can I help? This is a natural disaster and a punishment from God. I can only kowtow and burn incense to bless God for forgiveness."

"I'm just begging God."

Tie Xinlan was a little disappointed, thinking he had some good ideas.

Jiang Chen looked at the villagers who kowtowed and burned incense in the distance, with an intriguing smile on his face.

Let's go to the village here.

"What is there to visit in these villages?"

"If you don't want to go, go by yourself."

"Who said I won't go."

The two of them rode horses around the villages. After half a day, Tie Xinlan was at a loss as to what he was going to do.

"We've finished walking the village, can you tell me what you're going to do?"

"The secret cannot be leaked."

Seeing his mysterious face made her feel itchy, eager to know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd.

But his mouth was very strict, and she couldn't pry it open.

It was getting dark.

Jiang Chen found a farmer to temporarily settle down.

There are three people in this family, two adults and one child.

There are quite a lot of rooms in his house, there are four rooms. In the past two years, the elderly in the family got old, so there are only two rooms left in this room.

The man of the house is called A Niu, and his wife calls him Brother Niu.

This brother Niu has a simple and honest face, and it is worth mentioning that he has a strong body.

His wife's name is Cuihua, and she looks very ordinary, with dark skin and yellow hair, and she looks devoid of nutrition.

His son is Doudou, who is only six years old. He looks like a tiger, and he is very cute.

"There is nothing to treat you at this house. This is the steamed bread made by my wife today, and the pickled melons made by myself."

"It's okay, steamed buns are delicious with pickled melon."

Jiang Chen and Tie Xinlan picked up a steamed bun and started to eat it. This steamed stuffed bun was a bit hard, but it was very good with pickled melon.

Jiang Chen stopped after eating a few.

After dinner, Jiang Chen played with Doudou, Tie Xinlan looked at him with a funny face, like a child who couldn't grow up.

"Brother A Niu, I want to find [-] people to work for me, and the wages are [-] yuan a day. Can you help me find them?"

A Niu and Cuihua's eyes lit up when they heard this.

"What is this job for? What can we do?"

"of course."

Fifty Wen a day is already a lot of wages.

"I will definitely help you find someone in the prime of life in the village."

"You are wrong. What I want you to find is not someone who is physically strong, but someone who can speak well, such as three aunts and six wives, for example, those in the village who are more likely to curse."

"What do you want them for?"

Tie Xinlan also looked at Jiang Chen with a puzzled expression.

The three aunts and the six women were originally several occupations of women in the ancient folk. The three aunts refer to nuns, Taoist aunts, and Gua aunts.And the sixth woman refers to the matchmaker, matchmaker, master woman, godly woman, medicine woman, and stable woman.

These three aunts and six wives can speak with their mouths, what Jiang Chen values ​​is their mouths.

"You don't have to ask too much about this, you just need to do what I ask you to do."

"Okay, I know."

"There's still something for you to do, so put your ear to it."

A Niu put his ear close to him, everyone saw that he was murmuring in A Niu's ear and didn't know what to say.

Tie Xinlan felt more and more that he was nagging.

"This is two taels of silver, and the rest will be your hard work."

"Okay, I'll get things done."

Although Ah Niu didn't know what he wanted to do, he just wanted to make money.

After chatting with their family for a long time, it was getting late, so everyone went back to their respective rooms to sleep.

The next day, after Jiang Chen had breakfast, he stayed in his room to practice, while A Niu and Cuihua went to do the things Jiang Chen had told him.

Doudou and Tie Xinlan are playing outside.

When Jiang Chen woke up from his cultivation, an hour had passed.

When they came outside, Tie Xinlan and Doudou were playing with stones, throwing stones at an old hen in the vegetable field.

Standing at the door and seeing her innocent smile, it's no wonder that Hua Wuque and Xiao Yu'er both like her.

But he just admired it, and didn't mean to like it in his heart.

There are so many beauties in the world, it's too hard to see one and love the other.

With Yaoyue and Lianxing, he is already satisfied, and he no longer wants to provoke other girls in this world.

"You're out."

Seeing Jiang Chen, Tie Xinlan laughed like a child and ran over.

"You like children very much."

"Well, kids are fun."

　Today I asked the editor if he had any recommendations for next week, he said no, and it’s ready to be put on the shelves. I’m looking for follow-up readings these days, but the follow-up readings are less than the previous recommendations. It’s estimated that there aren’t many people who support them. Bosses, what should I do? !
