Planting a fairy in ancient times

Chapter 293. 292. Burning Incense and Kowtow
Chen Xiaoyu's original words are that malnourished people can improve their physical fitness by eating more protein.Just like some patients want to eat eggs to replenish their body, the protein in fried locusts can also replenish their body.

It is "physical fitness" and "malnutrition". Chen Daniu can't remember so many of these unfamiliar terms, so he has to use the words "more nourishing than eggs" to describe them.

"Huh?" Zou Zhizhou's mouth was so round that it could fit a glutinous rice ball.

Zou Zhizhou did not expect Chen Daniu to bring such good news.

Can locusts be eaten?And it's delicious?Still very nutritious?
Now, their Pingjiang Mansion is saved.

Xiaowang Village.

Wang Lizheng led the whole village to burn incense and worship in the fields.

"Empress Locust, please leave our Dawang Village!"

"Empress Locust, leave a way for the villagers of Dawang Village to survive!"

"Mother Locust is merciful, don't harm our crops, fly to another place!"

······
The villagers followed Wang Lizheng, prostrating and muttering.

Wang Hu looked at the wheat seedlings in the field that were much thinner than yesterday, feeling very anxious.

For two days, the villagers of Dawang Village have been burning incense and worshiping the locust lady on the ground. However, the locusts in the field have not decreased, but have increased a lot.

If this continues, the locusts will eat up all the wheat?
Taking advantage of the break, Wang Hu walked up to Wang Lizheng and asked, "Wang Lizheng, the locusts in the field haven't decreased at all! Otherwise, let's try the method Zou Zhizhou said?"

"What are you going to try? Wang Hu, are you brainless? We offended the "Mother Locust", do we still have any crops left? You want to kill yourself, and don't drag other people along." Wang Lizheng sternly yelled.

"Then... we burn incense and kowtow every day, but we still haven't seen the locusts leave? It's better to catch one." Wang Hu was a little unconvinced.

Wang Hu had heard that villagers in other villages were busy catching locusts in the fields.

Only they, Dawang Village, under the leadership of Wang Lizheng, burned incense and kowtowed to the "Locust Empress".

They have been offering locusts all the time, and they haven't seen the locusts showing mercy to their crops in Dawang Village?
If this continues, the harvest of this season will definitely be gone.

"Empress Locust has refused to leave so far. Could it be that there are people who are not sincere? Gods are like this, and sincerity leads to spirit." Wang Lizheng said majesticly.

"Wang Hu, stop talking."

"Wang Hu, what Wang Lizheng said is right, sincerity leads to success!"

"Wang Hu, quickly kneel down and apologize to Empress Locust!"

"Wang Hu is ignorant and talks nonsense, don't blame the locust lady."

······
Seeing that Wang Lizheng was angry, the villagers quickly persuaded and pulled Wang Hu away from Wang Lizheng.

The villagers panicked.

What if what Wang Lizheng said is true?Sincerity is spirit!
Wang Hu is not respectful enough to the locust lady, and it hurts the whole village!

"Hey! You guys... okay, I'll go." Wang Hu stomped his feet and was about to leave.

Wang Hu planned to visit Fucheng.

If he has free time here to burn incense and kowtow, he might as well go to the grain store and grab a few shi of grain back!
During the drought last year, the price of grain almost skyrocketed, and Wang Hu was terrified.

"Wang Hu, where are you going?" Wang Li was blocking Wang Hu's way.

Wang Lizheng doesn't like Wang Hu.

Yesterday, when Zou Zhizhou came to Dawang Village, he said a lot of things like asking everyone to go to the fields to catch locusts.

At that time, Wang Lizheng was about to explode with anger.

Twenty years ago, a plague of locusts occurred in Dawang Village. Wang Lizheng's father, Wang Lizheng, used the trick of burning incense and prostrating, and the locusts flew away from their Dawang Village.

It can be seen that the trick of worshiping the locust empress is feasible.

Now, Wang Li is just repeating what his father did.

Why does Zou Zhizhou insist on forcing the villagers of their Dawang Village to fight against the "Mother Locust"?

There is also Wang Hu, who followed Zou Zhizhou for most of yesterday, answering Zou Zhizhou's questions.

Wang Lizheng felt that Wang Hu was deliberately contradicting himself.Yesterday, he specially asked people to secretly inform the villagers, telling everyone to just do their own thing and ignore Zou Zhizhou, but Wang Hu rushed to show his courtesy.

"Wang Lizheng, my family doesn't have much food left. I'll go to Fucheng to buy some food." Wang Hu said with a straight face.

Wang Hu did not tell lies.

Seeing that the wheat will be harvested in more than half a month.A few days ago, Wang Hu's family made a lot of effort to sell the stored grain and planned to free up the granary to store new grain.

The results of it?A few days after Wang Hu's family's stockpiled grains were sold out, the plague of locusts came.

Now, Wang Hu's family can only store food for ten days and half a month at most.

"Wang Hu, you can't go. You have offended the locust lady with your words. You will kneel on the ground these few days and apologize to the locust lady." Wang Lizheng signaled the villagers to stop Wang Hu.

"Wang Lizheng, you can't do this." Wang Hu's expression changed.

During the drought last year, the price of grain in the grain shop was several times a day.

In case this year is the same, after a few days passed, Wang Hu worried that the little money he sold for the stored grain would not be able to buy back one-tenth of the previous grain.

Under the leadership of Wang Lizheng, each family in Dawang Village only planted a small amount of sweet potatoes.Most of the fields are wheat.

Seeing that the locust plague is over, the wheat harvest will be ruined.

Without food, people will starve to death.

"Everyone catch Wang Hu, we can't let him run away like this." Wang Lizheng said with a dark face, "Don't think I don't know, I think you just want to go to Fucheng to find Zou Zhizhou, right? The county magistrate should take care of it now. This Dawang Village, I, Wang Kui, have the final say."

"I didn't. Wang Lizheng, I really went to buy food." Wang Hu looked at the seven or eight burly men who rushed towards him and shook his head repeatedly.

"Wang Hu, don't think that if you flatter Zou Zhizhou, I, Wang Kui, will be afraid of you. Let me tell you! Those scholars in Zou Zhizhou, do they know how to grow crops? If you don't know anything about it, let us all catch locusts. Damn locusts blame it Come down, isn't it that us mud-legged peasants are unlucky?" Wang Lizheng widened his eyes and taught Wang Hu a lesson.

"Wang Lizheng~!" At this time, a villager winked at Wang Lizheng not far away.

"What are you doing? Lai Laosan, talk when you have something to say, fart when you have something to say, wink, I'm not a worm in your stomach, I can guess what you haven't said." Wang Lizheng didn't receive the kindness of the villager Lai Laosan, unhappy to say.

"Wang Lizheng, Master Zhizhou is here, standing right behind you!" Lai Lao San yelled.

Lai Laosan saw a group of people approaching from a distance, and the leader was Zou Zhizhou whom he met yesterday.Wang Li was so busy getting angry that he didn't notice the movement behind him at all.

What?Zou Zhizhou is here?
Wang Lizheng hurriedly turned his head, and what he saw was Zou Zhizhou whose face was so cold that it was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry.
