The Bodhi Space of the End Times

Chapter 268 Locust plague
at dusk.

In the pergola under the fruit trees, everyone is sitting in groups of three or four, enjoying the cool and chatting comfortably.

suddenly!

There was a "bang" at the closed gate at the mountain pass!Was pushed away from the inside.

Immediately!Two minibuses roared up.

"Crack!" After two harsh brakes, the car stopped firmly in the middle of the grain drying yard.

Fang Qiang stood up with a few people who were chatting, and wanted to go up to say hello in doubt, but they hadn't waited for them to approach.

Jiang Ming, Liao Jianjun and the others shouted and ran into the purple bamboo forest carrying their things.

Just when they were full of question marks, they saw Liu Suying and Lin Xiaomei, leading dozens of people, running out of the mountain pass in full clothes.

They also held helmets and long wooden sticks, and a large piece of colorful cotton cloth was tied to one end of the wooden sticks.

Everyone is more confused now? ? ?

Liu Suying saw them standing in the sun-drying field with a dazed expression on their faces.

He waved to the people behind him to get things ready and make preparations first.

He took a few steps forward with his red helmet in his hand, and said in simple words, "Locust plague! You know it! If you don't want to be scratched, go back quickly and put on long-sleeved trousers and cover your face."

After speaking quickly, ignoring their reactions, the graceful figure rushed into the purple bamboo wall on the left.

A group of people who were more confused were left behind.

Plague of locusts? ? ? ?
How could there be a plague of locusts? ?

Everyone's expressions were dull for a moment, but the locust army didn't give them extra time to think.

next moment.

The noise of "chirp chirp"!From far to near, the sound is getting louder.

Everyone's complexion changed suddenly, and they all raised their heads to look at the sky.

In the mid-air to the east, an overwhelming army of locusts was sweeping in.

Seeing the terrifying amount of people crushed over, one's heart is horrified.

"My god! It's really a plague of locusts!"

In an instant!
There were exclamations of exclamation in the grain drying field, and everyone who reacted quickly ran back to the tent.

Some children were so frightened that they cried loudly.

In a blink of an eye!
In the originally bustling sun-drying field, there are only slippers that were lost all over the ground, and birds that "cha-cha" screamed and flew around.

Liu Suying looked at the approaching locusts, and the simple torch in her hand was soaked in vegetable oil.

Just waiting for the locusts to come, she lit the torch and had a roasted grasshopper.

At this time, dozens of piles of flames were burning in more than 100 mu of cropland.

On the surrounding field ridges, dozens of people stood quietly, some of them holding nets, and those holding torches holding torches.

All of them looked tense, and their eyes were fixed on the sky that was about to darken.

Just as the locusts covering the sky and the sun fell, the high-pitched birdsong suddenly sounded from the back mountain.

In an instant.

A large flock of densely packed birds flew towards them, and soon rushed into the army of locusts as numerous as cow hair.

The birds in the valley seemed to be inspired, and they jumped out of the treetops one after another, frantically pecking at the locusts that rushed over.

Even the white cranes and wild ducks on the river bed joined the battle.

And this scene.

It also made Liu Suying quietly relieved.

Although I don't know how lethal these birds are, but there are so many of them! ! !
More or less, it can always kill a group of bugs! !
As a result, the flaming torch in his hand swung even harder.

Soon there was a thick layer of grasshopper corpses under the feet.

Hu Yongzhi's net is also getting easier to use.

Because the density of locusts and grasshoppers in the air is too high, the net is pulled open a few times, and the frantic scurrying insects drilled a full pocket.

The four of them quickly tightened their grips, swung the sticks and beat them hard.

After pouring out the corpses, they took another bag with the net.

While waving the torch, Liu Suying looked at the groups of people using nets in the potato field through layers of flying shadows of locusts.

It was found that their efficiency was really not covered, and the corpses of locusts next to them were piled up high.

In a happy mood, the corners of his eyes and brows were slowly stained with a little bit of starlight, revealing a little smile.

It seems that after this wave of locusts, we can see if we can make some nets ourselves.

This thing is economical and useful.

Thinking of this, he withdrew his gaze, but when he turned around, he was startled.

A colorful parrot suddenly flew down from mid-air and was almost swept away by his own torch.

The parrot flapped its wings and slithered past, then landed on his shoulders, and pretending to be, flapped its wings on the bird's chest and called: "Scared the bird to death! Scared the bird to death! You bloody woman, are you real?" Do you want to roast a bird?"

That slightly hoarse voice is particularly prominent in the "chirp" sound of locusts all over the sky and the high-pitched birdsong.

Liu Suying poured a cup of oil on the torch again, and the originally dim flame rose to a height of more than half a meter again with a puff.

The parrot on her shoulder trembled, and was shaken backward by the rising flames. It yelled dirtyly again: "Damn woman! You, you are really going to roast me! Laozi, Laozi Xin I have worked so hard to bring you reinforcements, but you, you are still greedy for my body."

"Did you call those birds that moved the rescuers?" Liu Suying paused to hold the raised torch, and looked sideways at the silly bird on his shoulder.

The parrot saw that Liu Suying was willing to talk to him, and raised his proud neck: "Of course, so you should thank me well and give me more delicious food."

"Okay! After killing the locusts, I'll get you something delicious."

Liu Suying nodded, and then quickly waved the torch in her hand.

The parrot stood on her shoulders and swayed from side to side, being dazed by the falling locust carcasses.

"Dead woman! Smelly woman! You will repay your kindness with revenge." The parrot yelled, flapping its wings and flying many grasshoppers away.

In the end, I couldn't stand still, so I had to fly to the top of the purple bamboo, and frantically fluttered and gnawed at the locusts on the leaves of the purple bamboo.

It doesn't dare to run around now.

Those humans not only had torches in their hands, but also monsters that could spew fire dragons. Just now, it almost died in the crop field on the other side in order to take credit for this stinky woman.

If the man hadn't stopped in time, it might have been ripe by now.

And in the village on the mountainside, the flames were burning into the sky at this moment, and locusts were flying everywhere.

The densely packed locusts and grasshoppers fell into the fire, further fueling the burning of the fire.

a time.

In the entire valley of Hongyan Village, dry firewood and fire, birds and insects are heard endlessly.

Every gap is filled with "chirping" locusts and grasshoppers.

In the tent area on the south side of the grain drying field.

There were bursts of panicked screams.

Those who ran back to the tent, did not have time to pull the tent curtain tightly, and did not put on long-sleeved trousers in time, were caught by the swarming locusts and cried.

Fang Yong put a thin quilt on the bed because of his leg injury.

Fang Zihan wrapped his father tightly with a quilt, while himself and his mother quickly put on long-sleeved tops with hoods and trousers.

Then tie the face with a compassionate shirt.

When the locusts wanted to get in through the gap, the two held a large board in each hand and slapped the locusts to death outside the tent.

Then quickly use something to press the gap.

The two were busy for a while, and finally squeezed all the gaps tightly.

Only then did he pant heavily, and slumped in front of Fang Yong's wooden bed.
