Before fleeing famine, I evacuated the Duke's mansion and stockpiled tens of billions of suppli

Chapter 21 Locusts eat people
The old village head bowed his body: "Since we are all ancestors, and now we have left our hometowns to hold a group to seek a living, I think we might as well join the Xiao family for everyone. There will be no Xu family village in the future, but what about the Xu family?"

The meaning of the old village chief's proposal is obvious, that is, he hopes to unite everyone's strength to the outside world, and the Xu family will not talk about the two families, so that in the future, we will share the blessings and share the difficulties.

This proposal can be said to be very wise. If you want to survive well on the way to escape from famine, you need to hold together for warmth, and the family blood is a strong bond.

"I agree!"

"I agree!"

"The old village chief said well, from now on we will be commensurate with each other according to our seniority, and we will be like a family," the villagers followed the old village chief in response.

Obscure Moon thought silently, wouldn't I have a lot of relatives in the future?

Damn, we can't remember the seniority of our relatives.

Seeing that no one objected, the old village head began to count his seniority.

Overnight, Obscure Moon had seven cousins, eight uncles, nine brothers, and ten sisters.

Understood, we are the youngest in the generation. During the Chinese New Year, we just ask for red envelopes and we are done.

Obscure Moon counted the days, and it has been five or six days since everyone came out to flee the famine, and the journey has only been halfway.

Now it is almost late autumn, and winter is only a month away. I hope everyone can settle down on the grasslands of Inner Mongolia before the snowstorm comes.

The grasslands of Inner Mongolia, I'm so looking forward to it, it is said that the sky there is like a hut, covering the four fields, the sky is vast and wild, and the wind blows the grass and the cattle and sheep are low.

To be honest, Obscure Moon is very much looking forward to her grassland farming life, wishing to walk the remaining [-] kilometers in one step and directly cross to the grasslands of Inner Mongolia.

But what makes Ozuki sad is that now that the ox cart is gone, he can only walk the 500-kilometer journey with his legs. Rounding it up is equivalent to walking the Long March [-] times.
Alas, there will be a long road ahead, and the soles of my feet are probably going to be useless. Just thinking about it makes my head bald.

Fortunately, Xu Jingyang still had memories of the original owner's time as a carpenter in his mind. He asked Ozuki's third uncle for a wooden wheel, and then converted the bullock cart into a wheelbarrow.

Xu Jingyang put Miyue on the wheelbarrow, and then put tents, pots and bowls, bedding, food and other items on it, and then asked Xu Ajiu to push the wheelbarrow and creaked up.

Seeing Xu Jingyang being lazy and letting his 13-year-old son push the cart, Shen Yinxing gave him a hard look.

But Xu Ajiu didn't care, he liked to push his sister on a unicycle and run around.

There were also several uncles who enthusiastically invited Miyue to sit in their donkey cart, but Xu Ajiu refused to let her go, no one could take his sister away.

In the end, Xu Jingyang sat leisurely in someone else's donkey cart, and then warmly became relatives with him.

Shen Yinxing was haunted by some half-grown children. These children were obsessed with dancing swords, and they liked to hear Shen Yinxing talk about her glorious record of leading the Galaxy Corps to fight the Zerg.

Of course, only the children believe in these, and other adults just listen to them as stories.

Obscure Moon sat on the unicycle and looked left and right, and found that the surrounding scenery was quite different from when she was in Northern Henan.

There are many hills and hills in the north of Henan, but the view here is mostly plains, but the same thing is that they are all dry land, and they are all a barren yellow color.

Obscure Moon, who had watched the scene of the wilderness for a long time, withdrew her gaze, and then she suddenly felt that her hand was holding down a soft thing, and that thing was still alive and kicking under her hand.

Obscure Moon looked down and found that it was a fat locust in her hand, and there were several large yellow-green winged locusts jumping around her feet.

Seeing the locusts bouncing around her feet, Mizuki's brain exploded with a buzzing sound.

Flood first and then drought, locusts are in pieces, a big locust plague sweeping the world is coming!
Obscure Moon's heart is tense, it is necessary to inform everyone of this matter quickly, otherwise the grain and straw in everyone's cart will be eaten up by locusts.

However, before Obscure Moon could shout, the southeast corner of the sky suddenly went dark, and then there was a roar comparable to that of a bomber.

I saw the overwhelming locusts suddenly pouring down from the sky, and the swarms of insects blocking the sky and the sun blocked the road ahead of people.

"Quick! Protect the food and grass! Don't let the locusts eat the food." People desperately waved the sticks in their hands, trying to keep the locusts away from their dry food bags.

The locust's legs have serrations, and it can easily cut a hole in the grain bag under the impact, and then go in along the opening and eat up all the grain.

There are also children with delicate skin and tender meat. After being besieged by swarms of locusts like a meat grinder, there is no whole piece of good meat on their bodies.

"Lie down! Lie down!" People yelled to protect the children and food under their bodies, and then knelt on the ground, using their flesh and blood to form a wall of life.

Seeing the swarm of locusts, Shen Yinxing was actually a little excited. She seemed to have found some kindness in these insects. After protecting Ozuki and Ajiu in the barrier for the first time, she picked up the knife and stabbed at the swarm of locusts. danced wildly.

But there were too many locusts, and the small ditches by the roadside were filled with locusts. No matter how Shen Yinxing tried to kill these flying locusts, she could not stop killing them. In the end, the corpses of locusts under her feet were almost as high as a person.

The locust swarms had been raging for about an hour, and when they saw that there was no more food and grass to eat, they flew away.

When the locust swarm came, it covered the sky and covered the earth, and when it flew away, it covered the sky and the sun with a huge momentum.

When the people on the ground raised their heads again, the surrounding vegetation was cut off, and the land was thousands of miles away, and even the land was swept away by a layer of land.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooomomo.".

There are many other families who have also eaten up their food, and now they are all sitting on the ground with disheveled hair and crying.

If there is no food, can the locusts all over the ground be used to satisfy hunger?
The answer is no, it is not a problem to eat some locusts in normal times, but the locusts in the locust plague cannot be eaten.

Because the number of locusts increases sharply during the locust plague period, the locusts are in the stage of violent rage at this time, and their bodies will undergo drastic physiological changes. The violent locusts will produce a kind of hydrocyanic acid in their bodies, and the lethal dose of hydrocyanic acid is only 1 mg, so the locust plague Sometimes, eating a single locust may cause mild poisoning symptoms.

Even after high-temperature cooking, it is difficult to remove the toxins in these locusts. In short, 100% of the locusts will be poisoned and die if they eat too much.

Seeing the Xu family who had lost their food and was sitting on the ground crying bitterly, Ooyue felt uncomfortable. The locust swarm came too fast, and before they could even react, everyone was pressed to the ground and rubbed against each other.
