Fuwa is not easy to mess with when she is three years old

Chapter 161 Looking for An Lu
The locusts did not come from other cities and counties, but from the soil layer fifty miles away from the center of the village.

For mortals living in this land, locusts are terrible pests, and their direct damage to farmers is no less than that of corrupt officials and the like. The revival of life, the feast of life.

This locust has been sealed underground for many years by some kind of force, dormant quietly in a place where people can't see, ready to go.According to the law of heaven, the swarm should appear on the night of the mid-autumn festival, August 15, when the people and the moon are reunited, but it seems that the power to suppress the locusts has been slightly broken.

They emerge from their eggs, layer upon layer, even more so than bamboo shoots springing up after rain.The little one hatched earlier, with its short beard and soft wings, gently stretched its jointed limbs on the ground and crawled slowly, but soon, the soft skin on its body was blown by the wind, and it disappeared in an instant. It hardened, and with a slight movement, there was a crackling sound.Even more solid are the mouthparts and teeth. If someone dares to get close to pick up this thing, you can even see the metallic light inside and outside the mouthparts.

When they woke up from their deep sleep, they didn't have time to appreciate the fragrance of the soil and the sun above their heads. What each migratory locust felt was an inherent sense of emptiness.As a result, the gray blanket seen in the distance moved forward slowly, and the wings were not strong enough to support it, so it could only crawl forward with its jointed limbs.Wherever it passes, dead grass, tender seedlings, and leaves are all delicious food, fruits, and bark. The rich juice in them quickly nourishes the locusts, causing the thing to push off a layer of skin in almost a few breaths. His stature has grown a bit.

Tender and small locusts are still emerging from the ground, they are attracted by the smell of plant juice in the air, but soon, the new batch finds that they may not be born to be able to sit firmly on the throne of predators .

The seniors, who were several times bigger than them, showed their metal-colored mouthparts to the new locust. They opened and closed, and the newborn locust only had a thin leg left.And that slender leg was quickly swept away by the ones that surged up from behind.

Not enough, not enough.

The locust's appetite is not satisfied by the plants on the ground and the bodies of its companions. After getting the meat, the locust becomes bigger and its eyes become sharper.On the first day they were born, they opened the door to a new world.

meat.

All the way forward, is to start to accept all meat and vegetables.

Dozing snails, bewildered ladybugs, slow-moving meat worms, cornered mole crickets, and then cubs of mice, rabbits, cats, and dogs.

The dog who didn't know who ran out felt the vibration of the ground and the change of the smell, barked and rushed out of the gate, unable to hold back, and rushed all the way towards the gray curtain, when the small click sounded the semicircle in front of it. When the world is covered, the instinct of the animal tells it that this thing cannot be driven away with a few shouts or two bites.There was a low whine in the throat, and the feet stepped back in disorder, the two tails were tightly sandwiched between the two strands, and the tips of the tails swayed quickly from side to side.

Threats are also useless.They are bugs and don't know what it is to be afraid.

I only know that the thing in front is delicious flesh and blood, eat one layer, and then another layer.

……

Afraid that his voice would not be heard in the noisy crowd, Ling Runyun snatched the horn from Xiao Tang's hand, turned his head to his mouth, and yelled at the chattering crowd.

"To shut up!"

This sound was much crisper and more penetrating than Xiao Tang's.The noisy crowd just now quieted down quickly, and according to Xiao Tang's arrangement, they slowly merged into a row and marched towards the courtyard of Du'an Lu's house.Then the loud questioning turned into a low, buzzing discussion.

But this level of noise no longer prevented Ling Runyun from communicating with Xiao Tang, and when he turned his head again, he met Xiao Tang's eyes.

He said: "You are looking for my master? She is in the backyard, probably."

Ling Runyun was anxious to see her, so he put the trumpet back into Xiao Tang's hand.Seeing that the crowd was so orderly that they couldn't squeeze in, they ran directly from outside Du's house to the backyard.

Next to the backyard was a waist-high tree branch fence. Ling Runyun picked up a branch on one side and saw that there were also crowds in the backyard. She couldn't be seen at all, so he shouted anxiously: "Du'an deer, where are you?"

"Don't be busy, wait!"

Hearing that a familiar voice echoed among the crowd, Ling Runyun's heart fell to the ground.

But it was just to find her. When a catastrophe came, he had to catch her all the time.He had to get Duane Deer out of here, as soon as possible.

Ling Runyun said: "Come out quickly, I will take you away!"

The branches on the fence rattled him, and a few dry leaves fell.He was so anxious, but the two behind him were not in a hurry.

Wu Youxin was still holding a handful of melon seeds, and poured half of them from his hand into Ling Runyun's, "You can see that they are from other places, and they are not steady at all."

Ling Runyun:?

Wu Youxin: "This is a plague of locusts. Master Tang who came from the east would have been there long ago. The master also said that Du's house is a treasured place of geomantic omen, and he performed immortal magic in the backyard of Du's house. He wanted to take the villagers to take refuge in the fairy's cave. .”

Wu Youzhi hurriedly nodded to the two of them.

"That's right, what's that called, feed the fish and worry about coal... not..."

Ling Runyun said: "Prepare for a rainy day. I don't know what kind of fairy cave... How big is the place for the people in this village. Is it really safe?"

Ling Runyun felt a sense of pressure in the air, "I still have to go, whether it's riding a horse or running, I can't stay here."

Wu Youxin said: "Where are you going? There are locusts in all directions, they are coming here."

Ling Runyun: "It's just locusts, and they don't eat people. If you ride a horse and run fast, you can always rush out."

The two brothers Wu Youxin and Wu Youzhi laughed almost at the same time.

"Why don't you know not to eat people?"

"Master Tang has already given the village a popular science. If these things can't run away, hide them. When they all gather in the village, Master Tang will cast a spell and catch them all at that time."

Ling Runyun still couldn't believe what these two children said. Thinking about it, the conductor he met at the door of Du's house just now was Master Tang, which seemed unreliable...

But the two children were convinced, and Wu You was smart and quick, and had already pulled out a few branches of the Du family's fence, leaving a door open.

Ling Runyun: "Tear down someone's fence...it doesn't fit..."

Wu Youxin said: "Oh, okay, my family has a lot of money, and the few fences of Du's family will be compensated later."

As he spoke, he dragged Ling Runyun into the crowd in the backyard.
