Chapter 200
"I don't plant the land, there are a lot of flying insects... Daddy, the flying insects bite the crops, and they also bite Man Bao'er... Man Bao'er hurts..."

Qi Manman grunted twice, then stuffed his thumb into his mouth, sucked hard twice, and groaned twice.

The voice is not loud, but it can't stand Yimeng's close distance.

For a moment, Yi Meng almost wondered if she was hallucinating.

What did the girl just say?
Flying insects?

Bite crops?
Bite full of baby?

Flying insects...biting crops?

Two words instantly appeared in Yi Meng's mind: locust plague!

Thinking of the drought they encountered on the way to escape from the famine last year, if they hadn't had the space spring water to support them, they would have died of thirst on the road long ago.

In the previous life, I heard that there must be a catastrophe after a severe drought, so, is there going to be a plague of locusts this year?
It was a sunny day in July, but Yi Meng suddenly felt icy cold, like falling into an ice cave.

Not caring about waking up the little girl, Yi Meng ran outside in a hurry.

As soon as he went out, he saw the old man walking towards the front yard with his hands behind his back, holding a cigarette stick.

"Daddy, daddy wait!"

Because Yi Meng was too anxious, her voice was raised, even broken.

Not only did Qi Zheng jump in fright, but he also called out other people who were tidying up in each room.

"Mengniang, what's the matter? What happened?"

Qu Laidi who lived next door was the first to rush out.

It was Qi Cheng who rushed out immediately after.

Qi Cheng ran out with a small broom for sweeping the kang in his hand, and asked, "Did something happen to Man Baoer?"

How could Yi Meng care about these things, and hurried to Qi Zheng.

"What, what's the matter? Fourth daughter-in-law, run slowly."

Qi Zheng was also frightened.

You must know that this fourth daughter-in-law rarely shows such a flustered look.

Yi Meng was tripped by her feet and almost fell, but she couldn't care less, she stabilized her body and continued to run.

Running to Qi Zheng, Yi Meng quickly asked: "Father, will there be locust plagues after the severe drought?"

"What?"

Qi Zheng didn't react for a while: "What locust plague?"

"It's a severe drought, after the severe drought!"

Yi Meng's forehead was covered with sweat: "It was very difficult for us to find water on the road last year. Although it snowed heavily in winter, there was not much rain after the beginning of spring. Dad, this, is this just a drought?"

Qi Zheng understood what he said.

But he just frowned and didn't speak.

Yi Meng became anxious, and looked back at the second sister-in-law who was running towards this side, and hurriedly lowered her voice and said quickly: "Just now Man Bao'er was talking in sleep, saying that you don't want to plant the land, there will be flying insects that will bite the crops and people .”

"What?"

Qi Zheng's expression changed drastically: "Really?"

"real."

Yi Meng hurriedly said: "I heard that, didn't I come out to look for you in a hurry!"

"You, don't worry, I'll talk to Uncle Zhou and the others first."

Qi Zheng was going to go for a walk, but now he has no intention of taking a walk, so he put the cigarette stick away from his waist, and hurriedly walked forward.

That speed, although not running, is definitely not slow.

"What happened?"

Qi Cheng rushed over with the support of Qu Laidi, but only saw the old man walking away quickly, so he could only ask Yi Meng.

Yi Meng took a deep breath and wiped the sweat from her forehead: "I just suddenly remembered the drought we encountered when we were on our way last year. I read a sentence in a book before, saying that after a severe drought, there must be a catastrophe."

"What?"

Qi Cheng was also shocked, and Qu Laidi beside him also changed his face.

Qi Cheng asked: "Meng Niang, is this true?"

"I don't know, but it's really written in the book. No, I'll tell dad right away. If there's really a big disaster, dad must know more than me."

Yi Meng showed a wry smile.

If these words hadn't come from the daughter's mouth, she wouldn't have remembered it!

"Hey, what's wrong with this! There was a severe drought last year, so it won't be a severe flood this year, right? We just built a new house!"

Qi Cheng patted his thigh, crying in his voice.

Drought followed by flood...

Yi Meng suddenly remembered that she had heard such a saying in her previous life.

But it wasn't mentioned in my daughter's dream talk, so it shouldn't appear!

Looking up at the sky, there are a few white clouds floating in the blue sky.

Absolutely beautiful weather.

Will there really be a flood on such a day?

Will the drought continue, another drought year?

Yi Meng hoped that it would not happen if her daughter didn't say so, but she was still uneasy.

After thinking for a while, Yi Meng said: "Second sister-in-law, help mother back to the house! I'll go find my second brother and Jin brother, and let them go to my father and the others."

"Okay, let's go!"

Qu Laidi also knew that this was not a joke, so she hurriedly supported Qi Chengshi to walk back.

Qi Quanjin and his brothers opened up wasteland behind, all of them were sweating profusely, and their girdles were already drenched with sweat.

But no one felt that it was hard work, and they still waved the hoe to dig the ground.

"Brother Jin! Brother Jin!"

Yi Meng's voice came from afar.

Qi Quanjin looked up, and at the same time wiped the sweat with the cloth towel around his neck, then smiled and waved: "Daughter-in-law, don't come here, I will go over!"

This land has just been reclaimed, and although there are not so many weeds, it is still full of potholes and uneven when walking.

The other brothers of the Qi family all laughed when they saw it.

All the men in the Qi family love their wives, and the fourth son of the Qi family loves his wife the most.

Qi Quanjin didn't feel ashamed, waved his hand, and said in greeting: "Everyone, take a break! Drink more water."

"Let's go, let's go to the shade of the tree to enjoy the shade!"

Qi Dafu greeted him.

There are also men from other families working at this moment, and they all stopped their work when they heard the words.

How could Yimeng wait for Quanquanjin to come over, her footsteps didn't stop at all, she greeted Ercai as she walked, "Second brother, come here too!"

"Hey!"

When Qi Ercai heard this, he subconsciously responded, but soon realized that something was wrong.

The fourth younger siblings came to find someone, and even called themselves, it was obvious that something was wrong!
Qi Ercai looked at Qi Dafu: "Brother, come here too."

"I won't go there. If you have anything to discuss, you can discuss it."

Qi Dafu waved his hand.

He just likes farming, and now there are so many lands in the family, let him be responsible for this.

As for the rest, he doesn't care!

Qi Ercai had no choice but to look at Qi Sangui.

Qi Sangui waved his hands quickly.

He also likes farming.

Besides, the eldest brother doesn't care about things, what is he doing?
Instead, Quan Yin and Quan Li looked at each other.

The two raised their eyebrows almost together, and then looked at Qi Ercai in unison: "Second brother..."

"You two go to rest under the tree for a while, and continue to plow the land later."

Qi Ercai didn't give these two people a chance to ask questions, and directly rejected their proposal.

"Second brother, fifth brother and I are adults in the family after all, you can't always treat us like children!"

Qi Quanli was not happy, and immediately refuted.

He is eighteen this year!
Really grown up.
