Feng Heming

Chapter 314 Chaos Is Growing
Many people came to Danyang County this time, the three wives of the Jiang family came, the gentlemen and young ladies from the east and west of the Jiang family came, and many young gentlemen and young ladies from the clan, including those in the martial arts arena Jiang Jiayu, who has always regarded Jiang Yuanxi as a role model.

Compared with the Jiang family's hundreds of masters, the Zheng family's masters are much less, only a dozen or so.

The Zheng family, like the Jiang family, used the excuse of Jiang Yuanxi and Ji, leaving only General Zheng and three masters in the entire Zheng residence.

Suddenly there were hundreds of masters, even if Jiang Yuanxi asked people to build three more courtyards, they would be overwhelmed for a while. When she received a message from her grandfather, saying that the elders of the Jiang and Zheng families would preside over her wedding ceremony, she The yard has been expanded as much as possible, and now it can only be squeezed temporarily, and when she chooses a good place to build a few more yards to satisfy these people.

Cleaning up the wind and washing the dust, and working all day, at night, Jiang Yuanxi shared the bed with Zheng Youniang, and the two mother and daughter had a private conversation.

Jiang Yuanxi has never been away from her for such a long time since she was born and grew up. She has been away from her for nearly a year. Zheng Youniang misses her so much, hugging her daughter and asking her how she is doing in Danyang County .

Jiang Yuanxi knew that he couldn't stop talking, and it wasn't until Zheng Youniang was exhausted from the boat and car that she couldn't help feeling tired that she stopped talking and fell into a deep sleep.

In the next few days, Jiang Yuanxi took A Niang, grandmother and others to wander around Danyang County, and took them to see the sea and board a boat, but she didn't dare to go too far with a boat full of women and children. Wandering near the sea, because they boarded the blade boat, they also encountered that fish monster during the period, which naturally aroused exclamation.

Although Danyang County is big, it doesn't have much good scenery. After seeing all that should be seen, Zheng Youniang and the others stayed in the house and seldom went out—anyway, they went out in the capital because they were going to a banquet or going back to their mother's house.

Jiang Yuanxi also handed Aniang and the others over to Zheng Hanyue with confidence, as she still had a lot to do.

After a simple but solemn funeral ceremony in June, Jiang Yuanxi will officially be 15 years old.

It's a big girl, and before Zheng Youniang could sigh with emotion, Jiang Yuanxi disappeared again the next day.

At the same time, even Zheng Youniang, who doesn't go out often, can feel a sense of tension spreading in the county.

"What the hell this year, why is it so hot?" Jiang Bojin wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief, and shook his fan in discomfort.

Although Jiang Yuanxi was indifferent to cold and warm, but her expression was also not good-looking.

Since April, the weather has become hotter. The weather in April is the same as June last year. What's more, it has not rained for several months.

The water level of the big river flowing through Danyang County is an inch lower, and some of the small streams dug out from the diversion of the big river have bottomed out.

Fortunately, with the support of this big river, the crops in the fields in Danyang County can still survive, but even so, under the scorching sun, the ears of grain seem to be squatting.

"It's okay here. I heard that many other places are already dry." Jiang Bojin wiped his forehead again and sighed, "I don't know how the harvest in the field is."

Because Jiang Yuanxi attaches great importance to the fields in Danyang County, the people around her can't help but care a little more.

Hearing Jiang Bojin's words, everyone was silent again.

On a hot day, in order to cover the sun, everyone held an umbrella in their hands. At this time, they were standing on the ridge of the field, looking at the crops in the field.

Jiang Yuanxi looked sideways at Zhu Xuezhen, "Mr. Zhu, how many days will it take for the crops in this field to be harvested?"

Zhu Xuezhen squatted down, stretched his hand into the field, looked carefully at the ears of grain, then stood up and said, "Because of the hot weather this year, we planted seedlings in advance, and the crops in this field will be harvested in about three days. "

As soon as these words came out, the others were all excited, there were still three days to harvest, and their fears were still gone, as long as they waited for three days, their crop of rice would be ready.

"Master Xu, tell the people that the harvest will be ready in three days." Jiang Yuanxi said to Xu Feng immediately without hesitation.

Xu Feng agreed, and heard Jiang Yuanxi say: "The weather is too hot. When harvesting in three days' time, the cock crows in the morning and acts at dawn, grabbing it before noon, and then waiting until afternoon to continue harvesting. Now it is no different than before, except for the old and the young. I will order the county government to cook mung bean soup and distribute it to various places."

After discussing the matter, everyone went back. Because of the hot weather, there were not many people walking on the street.

Counting the days, three days finally passed. People wearing straw hats, holding sickles, carrying baskets on their backs, flocked to the fields to start harvesting.

Even Jiang Yuanxi went down to the field in the same way. She only glanced at the hand gestures for harvesting rice, and tried it a little. She worked quickly by herself, and Shao Sihu and her, it only took a quarter of an hour for the two of them to harvest an acre of land. .

Zheng Youniang and the others stayed in the house and took on the task of cooking mung bean soup. The whole county was united to harvest the rice. Seeing that the insect eggs did not cause a catastrophe as they guessed, they were all relieved. , the body is much lighter, and work hard.

However, when the rice harvesting started in Danyang County, the ears of rice in most of the fields in other counties were not full. With a half-green appearance, many people began to show despair on their faces.

Harvesting was in full swing on the first day in Danyang County. Before dawn on the second day, the common people also got up, packed up and went out, and had to continue harvesting.

The sun was very strong in the afternoon, and everyone hid in the house to rest. When many people were sleeping, a black shadow came from a distance. At first, they thought it was a black spot, but soon they thought it was a black cloud. In the end, there is a large area that looks like a surging wave, and the blackness is full of suffocating despair.

It only took a short time for a cup of tea to go from black dots to black shadows, and in front of the black shadows were patches of crops.

Waiting for this black shadow to fly by, how can there be any ears of grain in the field?Only the grain stalks are left.

This black shadow is like a plague, leaving no armor anywhere it passes by, and at the same time, like a plague, it brings despair.

When the black shadow went away, the people who rested from the house took a look at the field as usual, and suddenly there was a shrill, full of fear shouting in the air: "No——!!"

According to historical records, on June 27th of the fifth year of Jianping, the emperor’s virtues were different, so the heavens were dissatisfied. So the drought was extreme and locusts swept across the entire Central Plains.
