Dressed as the best villain’s wife, I’m busy raising cubs and farming.
Chapter 218 Locust Plague
"Mom, my son is wrong!"
The dark clouds weighing on the old Song family finally dispersed.
To celebrate this day.
Ms. Yu specially slaughtered two chickens and cooked them herself.
Of course, in order to do something like that, Ms. Yu paid for it with Ah Xuan.
The grandfather and grandson handed over the matter very seriously.
Set an example for others as well.
Not everything is taken for granted.
Brothers settle accounts.
If my own mother wants to improve the food, she has to pay for it. If they are greedy, do they have the nerve to go to the backyard to catch chickens, ducks and geese and slaughter them?
Happy time is always short.
After noon, Uncle Li Zheng came in a hurry.
"Jin Niang, it's not good."
Song Jin's first thought was that bandits were attacking the village again.
"What should we do? The black locusts are coming to destroy our crops! We will wait another half a month for the rice to be harvested."
Song Jin wrapped all her exposed skin in cloth and followed Uncle Li Zheng, who was fully armed, to check in the fields.
Without even getting close, the tragic scene of "black clouds" over the rice fields makes people stagger. How many locusts must there be? They all fall on the ears of grain, and in a short time they eat up all but the bare stalks.
Song Jin was like this, and Uncle Li Zheng's legs were trembling, and he couldn't build up his strength for a long time.
"Blame me, blame me! I didn't listen to your advice, Jin Niang, and insisted on waiting a little longer. I'm afraid I'll lose everything now."
Song Jin didn't know how to persuade him, but thinking that Uncle Li Zheng would have to lead the whole village next, he couldn't afford to get back up after a setback.
"Uncle Li Zheng, how can I blame you? You have tried your best. I heard that more than half of the villagers, led by the clan leader, were against it. This plan was to harvest rice nearly a month in advance. The rice ears are at a critical period, so it is okay for everyone to disagree. Human nature."
"It's still my fault, I should have persisted more!"
"Uncle Li Zheng, under the current situation, we will definitely not be able to fight against the black locusts, and it is basically a foregone conclusion that we will not be able to harvest the rice.
What we have to consider now is what will the villagers eat next? You'd better gather people together to ask questions and work together. "
Li Zheng also woke up and suddenly became serious.
"Let's go, come with me."
In the end, Song Jin had no choice but to follow Uncle Li Zheng.
Call the sentry captain Shitou and ask him to arrange for people to go door-to-door to notify people to come to the yard outside the Gu family ancestral hall for a temporary meeting.
Different from the past, the villagers who came to the meeting today were not only late, but also looked sad.
In fact, everyone is tacitly mourning for the lost ears of rice.
The black locusts ate up all their rice ears and gnawed away all the leaves in the mountains and forests in a short time. There was no longer a sporadic green in the fields and mountains of Gujia Village.
Song Jin didn't see that scene with her own eyes, but the tree hole was already broadcasting it to her in real time.
"Shushu, why is there a video?" It is as real and clear as the satellites of later generations overlooking the wild.
[Host, you have been upgraded to level six, and your functions have naturally improved. 】
"I do not know how?"
[When you were fighting with someone, in order not to distract you, I didn’t bother you. 】
Upgrading is a good thing. It doesn't matter whether you tell her or not. What she cares about is the benefits.
"What good thing is the level 6 upgrade gift package?"
[Host, you won’t know until you open it yourself. You ask me, how could I know? The alliance also has confidentiality regulations. 】
Song Jin didn't give him any trouble and planned to open the blind box when he returned home later.
People can't stay depressed all the time. After all, there are seniors and juniors in the family.
"That's why I called everyone here to discuss it."
"Li Zheng, the whole grains in my house do not exceed one hundred kilograms. If a family of thirteen can dig out wild vegetables to make porridge, they can survive for a month. But now we can't even dig up wild vegetables. Even if we tighten our belts for a day, Just eating one meal won’t last long!”
There are many boys in his family, and they are all good eaters. It is the time when they are growing taller, and they will have to jump after a meal.
"Li Zheng, my family has the most food, but it can only last for three months at most. What happens after three months?" "Li Zheng, my family still has some money. Can you organize people to sell food in other places?"
As soon as he said this, he immediately attracted angry looks from people with many sons in the family.
"Lao Zhuang, you put it lightly. You and I can guess what the world is like outside with just a thought. If we stay well in the village, people will come to rob us. If we let the strong men in the village go out to buy food, let alone the safety of the food. If you bring it back, you’ll have to leave it outside if you don’t care.”
There was a sudden silence in the air.
There are always bumps and bumps in life, but no matter what, you will never be cruel enough to let other people's children die.
"What should we do?"
After experiencing the unreasonable famine twenty years ago.
The older villagers had tears of fear in their eyes.
Does God want to destroy them?
At this time, Li Zheng spoke.
“This is also the second reason why I called everyone here.
Qingli’s classmates have a way to get some food for our village, but they can’t work in vain, right? "
A flicker of hope suddenly appears at the end of a dark night of despair.
"this is necessary."
"It's just... Atong, although we are willing to spend more money to buy it, we still have to have it."
It is normal for villagers to have concerns.
If things go by a normal year, it will take another half a month for the new grain to be collected, and after the tax is paid, people will start selling grain to the market.
It is normal for the grain that originally cost ninety cents per dou to immediately drop to thirty cents per dou.
Let’s go too far, let’s talk about the present.
It is calculated as ninety cents per dou, but that is a normal situation without chaos and locust plague.
There is chaos everywhere nowadays.
The locusts passed through the border and destroyed a lot of food.
As long as there is such a way, it is not an exaggeration to see the price of food increase many times.
It is said that during the disaster twenty years ago, food was not counted by buckets, but was circulated by pounds.
A pound of third-grade rice can be sold for twenty taels of silver, forcing the poor to finish chewing tree bark and chewing mud.
Now, they are not hungry yet, but according to the current situation, it may not be possible in a few months.
By then, food prices are expected to be so high that poor people like them cannot even afford it.
Just one sentence.
They want food, but the price is beyond what they can afford.
Li Zheng winked at Song Jin.
It's your turn, niece.
"Don't worry, it's high. It will definitely be higher than usual, but it must be within the range that everyone can bear."
Everyone suddenly became energetic.
They don't want to hear the extra stuff, they only want to hear the key stuff.
"for example……"
Song Jin looked at the mall panel he had just called up.
“For example, an exquisite bamboo cane chair can be exchanged for a bucket of grain.
For example, the fragrant box placed in the patriarch's house can be exchanged for one stone of grain.
For example, the cat bowl at Aunt Jiu's house can be exchanged for one stone of grain. "
Suddenly, the air was silent again.
But this time everyone looked at Song Jin and felt that this little lady was bragging.
Does Qingli know you are so deceptive? (End of chapter)
