Planting a fairy in ancient times

Chapter 289. The Locusts Are Coming
The Jia Yinzhu brothers would walk proudly in front of Chen Daniu's house every day, and sometimes they would say strange things loudly, saying that Chen Daniu was unworthy of being an upright person and delayed everyone's fortune.

Chen Daniu pretended not to hear it.

Chen Daniu would rather be misunderstood than that the plague of locusts would really come.

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the wheat was starched.

Seeing the heavy wheat stalks on the branches, the villagers who planted the wheat blossomed in their hearts, and they spared no effort to flatter He Xiaobing and Jia Yinzhu.

At dusk that day, several villagers came back from weeding in the field, gathered around Jia Yinzhu, and stood chatting at the entrance of the village.

"Yinzhu! Thank you so much this year. I grow wheat with you, and I can earn a lot of money per acre of land!" Villager A looked at the direction of his own wheat field, and he couldn't help but smile from ear to ear.

"Yes, yes! Thanks to Yinzhu and Xiaobing's reminder, otherwise, we would just follow Chen Lizheng to plant sweet potatoes, and we would never have thought of growing wheat." Villager B also came to cheer.

"Chen Lizheng is getting old, and his brain is not as good as before. Yinzhu, you are young and promising. When Chen Lizheng retires, you can run for Lizheng's position. I will definitely choose you." Villager C said flatteringly.

"Hehehe... everyone, I'm proud of the prize. I, Jia Yinzhu, just have no selfish intentions, and I am far less knowledgeable than Chen Lizheng." Jia Yinzhu pretended to be modest, and did not forget to apply eye drops to Chen Daniu.

"Chen Li was afraid that our life would be better than his family's, so he asked everyone to grow sweet potatoes. Why is it that he is too old to use his brain? I think he has a very bright mind, and the family workshop earns a lot of money a year. "He Xiaobing said sourly.

He Xiaobing held a grudge against being forced to repay the debt at Chen Daniu's door.

Although Chen Daniu later forgave He Xiaobing's debts, He Xiaobing's face was almost ashamed.

Some time ago, He Xiaobing had to avoid people when he went out to work, because he was afraid of seeing ridicule in other people's eyes.

It wasn't until a few days ago that He Xiaobing felt that the incident should be over, so he dared to join the crowd to speak.

"That's why I can't envy him, who made Chen Lizheng have a good son!" Villager A said.

The county magistrate Zou was promoted last year and went to Pingjiang Mansion to be the magistrate, so he specially brought Chen Qingfeng with him.

Chen Qingfeng made good friends with Prince Rui's son again, and his own ability is good, Zou Zhizhou is very easy to use.

The current Chen Qingfeng is the chief arrester of Pingjiang Mansion, the kind who is always flattered by a bunch of people wherever he goes in the territory of Pingjiang Mansion.

"Tsk... Chen Lizheng is really lucky." Villager B said with emotion.

"I think Chen Erniu is better off. His granddaughter has become the only apprentice of Lord Fairy." After the villager C finished speaking, he remembered that Jia Yinzhu and Chen Erniu were not at odds, so he quickly glanced at Jia Yinzhu.

The news that Chen Xiaoyu had worshiped Master Fairy as his teacher was because Chen Xiaoyu deliberately asked Chen Daniu to release it.

With Lord Fairy as their backer, Chen Wang and Chen Erniu didn't dare to make Chen Xiaoyu angry at all, and Chen Xiaoyu and Jin Cuicui lived happily.

Jia Yinzhu lowered his face when he heard Villager C's words.

Jia Yinzhu felt that Villager C was poking his sore spot on purpose.

If it weren't for Chen Xiaoyu's scruples, when Jia Yinhua hooked up with Chen Qingshan again, Jia Yinzhu would have gone to Chen Erniu's house to stand up for his sister.

Several people are chatting gossip.

"Huh? What's going on? It's getting dark so soon today?" Villager A was talking, and found that the sky was getting dark, so he quickly raised his head and looked around.

"Brother A, didn't you wake up last night? The sun hasn't set yet! How can it be dark?" Villager B joked with a smile.

Villager B's ridicule did not get a response from Villager A.

Villager A's gaze was attracted by a group of "black clouds" not far away.

The "black cloud" approached from a distance, and not long after, Villager A heard the sound of "buzzing" insect wings.

"My God~! What is that?" Villager A pointed at the "black cloud", his face pale.

"Ah Jia, what's wrong with you today? You're always startled." After He Xiaobing said something dissatisfied, he looked in the direction of villager A's finger.

"Locust locusts...locusts! Locusts are coming!" Villager A fixed his eyes on the "black cloud" and his voice changed.

locust?

Jia Yinzhu's face turned pale.

It has been almost 30 years since the last locust plague.

Jia Yinzhu and the others had heard about the power of locusts from the elders in the village, but they had never seen it with their own eyes.

Among several people, only Villager A is older.

During the last locust plague, Villager A saw the "power" of locusts with his own eyes.

Seeing the nightmarish "locust army" now, villager A despaired.

"My wheat~!" Just as everyone was staring blankly at "Black Cloud", Villager A screamed and ran to his own field.

"Oh my god~! It's really a locust, Yinzhu, what should we do now?" He Xiaobing asked in a tearful voice.

"I...how can I do it?" Jia Yinzhu shook his head repeatedly.

"Wheat, my wheat!" After recovering his senses, Villager B ran into the field with Villager A.

Everyone came to their senses and hurried to their fields.

By the time Villager A ran to his field, the "locust army" had already pressed down on the clouds and plunged into the green field.

Not long after, there was a scalp-numbing "rustle" sound.

"Go away~! Go away~!" Villager A hurriedly took off his gown, waved it, and drove away the locusts that kept resting in the ground.

However, villager A has only one pair of hands, and no matter how fast he swings the coat in his hand, it is impossible to stop swarms of "locust army".

"Woooooo...don't gnaw my wheat, please don't gnaw my wheat." Villager A cried while waving the gown in his hand.

Seeing that the wheat can be harvested in one month, locusts are coming at this juncture. Will there be a harvest of wheat this year?

No wonder Chen Lizheng told everyone not to grow wheat, but to grow sweet potatoes.

Could it be... Chen Lizheng had predicted that there would be a plague of locusts this year?

Villager A felt remorseful in his heart.

Several other villagers followed Villager A, waving their gowns in the field.

Some locusts were hit by the gown and fell to the ground after making a "thumping" sound.Unfortunately, more locusts fell from the sky.

There were too many locusts, and even though the villagers exhausted all their strength, they did not see the number of locusts decrease.On the contrary, with the scalp-numbing "rustling" sound, the green color in the wheat field became less visible to the naked eye.

Not far away, groups of "black clouds" are still rushing here.

"My God~! My wheat is all gone!" Villager A sat on the ground in despair, scratching his hair, crying tears.

"Brother A, what's the use of crying, hurry up, let's go to Chen Lizheng, let Chen Lizheng help you figure out a solution!" At this time, villager B ran over panting, and tried to persuade him.
