lying down

"Drought! Locust plague!" Ouyang Yu's words shocked everyone.

"Balang, what are you talking about? Drought? Locust plague?" Hearing this, the old lady pressed the dining table with one hand and stroked her chest with the other, her face gradually turned pale.Just because the old lady had experienced it before and knew how terrible it was, just hearing this word, she couldn't help the heart in her chest to jump out alive.

Seeing that the old lady was quite shocked, Goro thought to himself, what are you doing to frighten your mother?Mother is already a rare person, but she can't stand such words.He went over and patted Ouyang Yu's head, and said a little annoyedly: "Eighth brother, what are you talking about? Although I don't plow the fields, I also know that there are no droughts or locusts in the fields now!"

Erlang stroked his short beard, glared at Wulang and said, "Fifth brother, sit back and listen to the eighth brother's explanation! Have you ever seen the eighth brother lie! Before I came back, there was already a rumor in the wine shop in the city. There is a severe drought, and food prices are also expected to rise, I wonder if this has something to do with what the eighth brother said?"

When everyone heard what Erlang said, they all frowned. Erlang was usually a prudent person, and Ouyang Yu was also a smart and well-behaved person.Both of them said the same thing, it was definitely not like they were joking, the atmosphere turned cold all of a sudden, everyone looked at Ouyang Yu eagerly with suspicion in their hearts.

"There must be a plague of locusts!" Hearing Erlang's words, Ouyang Yu was [-]% sure that there would be a severe drought in the capital and several nearby roads this year, and the current historical trajectory has not changed.He analyzed it carefully to everyone: "There is an old saying that 'drought brings locusts', after a severe drought there must be a plague of locusts. This morning, Xi'er, Wang Chen and I visited all the way, and the wells used by the village are almost exhausted. I also heard from Seventh Sister-in-Law just now that the river beach is getting shallower, and Second Brother said that there may be a severe drought in the capital, everyone, look at the weather, how is it compared to previous years? I am afraid there will be a severe drought, and then there will be locusts!"

"What should we do? Do we want to move the whole family away to avoid this natural disaster?" The old lady was extremely anxious when she heard Ouyang Yu's affirmation.

"Mother, I'm so afraid. I don't believe that the locusts are coming. People are still afraid of them? If there are few locusts, I'll find a stick to wear and bake them. If there are more, I'll fry them in a pan and eat them." , if... if there are more, I'll catch them in sacks and crush them for the next year's grain!" Wu Lang became silly again, while talking, he made gestures with his hands, and blinked his eyes at Ouyang Yu from time to time.Everyone was amused by his witty actions and silly words, and the atmosphere was relaxed.Only Ouyang Yu sighed in his heart, this fifth brother is really not simple, he clearly knows that the locust plague is terrible, but he still pretends to be stupid to comfort everyone, but he is actually an extremely shrewd and fearless master, you don't see him winking and asking for credit what?

"Mother, brother and sister-in-law, don't worry, I have a countermeasure. Let me think about it for a day, and talk to everyone tomorrow, okay?" Ouyang Yu borrowed the slope to get down the donkey.

Everyone was relieved to see Ouyang Yu's words with certainty, and knowing that he was usually quick-witted, but they were still worried and waited for his explanation tomorrow.

Ouyang Yu bid farewell to the crowd and went back to the house. Thinking of what he had experienced today, he drew lightly on the paper with a charcoal pen and heavily circled the four words "severe drought and locust plague", with a big question mark underneath , what should I do?I have never encountered locust plagues in my later generations, and I can only dig more wells in drought, and I really don't know other methods.As for the locust plague, if you think about it carefully, in addition to burning it with fire, when you were frantically studying the history of the Tang Dynasty in high school, you also read about the locust plague.I only remember such a passage: "Chongzhen Xinsi, Jiahu dry locusts, and the people caught locusts to feed ducks. The ducks are very fattened, and people, livestock and pigs in the mountains cannot buy food. Try to feed them with locusts. The pigs weighed [-] catties at the beginning. Ten days fattened to more than [-] catties, which shows the nature of the world. What is suitable for birds and animals to eat is not necessarily suitable for humans. If humans can eat it, there is no reason why birds and animals cannot eat it. It is no wonder that locusts can be eaten by pigs and ducks. The fear is more than that, and it is specifically expressed. It shows that feeding livestock with locusts is indeed a wonderful method, which can turn harm into benefit..." Yes!You can raise chickens to kill locusts, and you can also ask the government to set a reward for catching locusts.Then use the captured locusts to feed the livestock!

"Hey, how can I remember so clearly? My memory is not so good, is it? Can I remember such a long text?" Ouyang Yu discovered his abnormality.After much deliberation, he couldn't find the reason, could it be that this time travel changed his physique?Thinking of the three months that the county prime minister had entrusted him with helping Panshan Village, he couldn't help but feel dizzy. During these three months, only the drought and locust prevention was a great achievement, and he didn't have the time and energy to take care of the rest.

I sketched and sketched all day, and listed all my thoughts and thoughts on paper, and I didn't even bother to eat dinner.

Looking through the window, the starry and moonlit night is like a freehand landscape that relieves Ouyang Yu's fatigue. Occasionally, the sound of dogs barking and people in the village echoes in the empty night sky. This pure and natural Tang Dynasty is indeed a good place.

Just as I was about to close the window, I noticed that there seemed to be a petite figure hovering outside the fence in the courtyard. Who, it was almost midnight, was still dangling at the door of my house.Pushing open the door and walking into the courtyard, the man let out a soft "Ah!", as if panicked after seeing Ouyang Yu.

"Who is it?" Ouyang Yu yelled and asked in a low voice as he walked over, he didn't want to disturb the family's slumber, besides, he was originally a special soldier, so he had nothing to be afraid of.

"It's not me, brother...it's really not me" the man said in a hurry, he couldn't understand what he said, and he seemed to turn around and leave after saying these few words.

Ouyang Yu heard a female voice, which seemed a little familiar.He stepped forward quickly, and stood in front of her without waiting for that person to leave. "Xi'er! Why are you? Why are you here?" Ouyang Yu found that the person who came was actually Han Xi, holding a basket in his hand, and didn't know what was in it, but Han Xi turned around and walked, looking awkward.

"Brother Ouyang, I'm here..." She raised her eyes to look at Ouyang Yu, said a word, then lowered her head, tightly clutching the basket with both hands.Ouyang Yu didn't speak, and waited for her to finish speaking.Han Xi seemed to have made up her mind, stomped her lotus feet lightly, raised her head abruptly, looked at Ouyang Yu with both eyes, bit her lips and said softly: "Hmph! Brother Ouyang, you are not my parents, why do I come here? Are you not happy to see me?" Before he finished speaking, Ouyang Yu couldn't laugh or cry with his cute and cute words and deeds.

"I didn't mean that, I just wondered why you were not at home so late and came here." Ouyang Yu smiled wryly, seeing that if he didn't answer, he would be killed by "Jiaohan".

"You don't care...it's okay! Kindly treat it like a donkey's liver and lungs. I came over at night to ask my brother if he had any good ideas, but found that you were still in your room and hadn't eaten, so I went home and made delicious food for you. I waited for you for an hour, and I didn't know if you would come out, but who knew you asked this and that. Hmph! I won't give you food, I'm leaving!" Angrily said, without waiting for Ouyang Yu's answer, Lian She walked forward quickly and made a running appearance, but she stood here for an hour without moving, just staring at

Ouyang Yu's figure on the window was fascinated, his feet were already numb and his legs were sore, how could he run out?

Just hearing another whisper of "Ah~", she was about to fall to the ground.Seeing the situation, Ouyang Yu hurriedly strode towards her forearm, and he held on, but there was a "crash" sound from the food basket, and the food inside spilled out, and there were cakes inside, one meat and one vegetarian The dishes were obviously prepared with a lot of thought. If you look carefully, there are... and plums!
