"What's that?" Yan Qingshu turned her head and spoke softly.

The village head heard the words and looked back.

I saw a black mass in the distance, like smoke and dust rolled together, quickly attacking here.

"It's locusts!" The village chief's lips trembled, his old face turned pale.

There are so many locusts flying to people's eyes, noses, ears, and just thinking about it can kill you.

The harm to people is still a trivial matter. If the crops are eaten, then there is still a way for people to survive?

After finally getting through the drought, I just arrived at a place where I can survive.

Locusts are here again?

Is it about to perish?

Just thinking about it makes my heart go cold.

"Hurry up and cover the child with clothes, protect yourself, and cover your head!" Locusts have crossed the border, and three state capitals of the thirteen states of Dajin have suffered disasters.

As the village chief spoke, he took out his thick clothes and wrapped himself up.

The Yan family was also fast, protecting the child first, and then protecting themselves. The locusts arrived as soon as they said it, and the place they passed was gloomy, covering the sky and the sun, and the whole world turned into a dim yellow.

Rao Yan Qingshu has seen many disaster scenes.

There is nowhere like it is now, like the end of the world.

"Can locusts be eaten?" Xiao Shan asked suddenly.

Yan Qingshu's eyes flickered, can I eat it?

Naturally it is edible.

The locusts these days are not the great mutant poisonous insects of later generations in Africa, they eat them as soon as they are eaten.

Following Yan Qingshu's nod, Xiao Shan covered his head with a thin and translucent cloth, and began to flicker in the wind with the torn sack. The flying locusts hadn't learned how to turn, and flew into the sack by themselves.

Xiao Shan heard the horse's whining sound when it was disturbed by the locusts. He broke off a branch and ran to the horse's side to protect the horse.

Slap away the flying locusts.

The villagers looked at Xiao Shan's actions and thought of Yan Qingshu saying that locusts can be eaten.

His eyes flickered, and he asked, "Can locusts really be eaten?"

"Eatable." Lu Dajiang said.

In traditional Chinese medicine, locusts can be used as medicine.

Things that are used as medicine mean that they can be eaten.

Just walked out of the red ground, if you can have two bites to eat, wouldn't it be a joy, the greatest pain in this world is to be hungry and have nothing to eat, thirsty and have no water to drink, apart from this, nothing is a big deal.

How about locust meat, if it can fill your stomach, it is good meat.

Even Lu Dajiang, who had studied medicine for a few days, said so, and the villagers faintly believed it.

Start catching locusts together.

In this way, the scene of the disaster did not have that depressive feeling.

The locusts flew over like the wind, and withered all over the place. The fresh and tender grass was cut off by the lazy waist, and the tops were eaten by the locusts. The leaves on the trees were also scattered. It was obviously the beginning of summer, because most of the leaves were missing , There is even a sense of withering.

People in the village gradually took off their headgear made of small clothes.

Get together and mutter.

"How to eat this thing, I grabbed a full sack."

"It really hurts when the locust hits you!"

"Snow disasters, military disasters, earthquakes, droughts, locusts, plagues, our journey is really not easy, maybe there will be floods in the future."

After the words fell, he found that his stepmother's eyes were on him.

With that sharp gaze, Xiao Shan shivered and stepped back.

Yan Qingshu sighed softly.

Flood!It is true in the original book that the flood caused the Henan area in the middle of the Great Jin Dynasty to lose one-third of its population.

"Stepmother, how do these locusts eat?" Xiao Shan dragged his calm sack and walked towards Yan Qingshu.

Yan Qingshu said: "You can eat it when it's cooked."

When the villagers heard this sentence, they began to gather firewood to boil water.

The ground was very messy, thanks to the locusts not eating dry firewood, otherwise it would have been difficult to start a fire.

Cooking smoke rose, and the smell of roasted locusts wafted out.

Yan Qingshu looked at the piece of yellow flying away with heavy eyes.

Looking at Dabao again, the child's eyes are full of haze that doesn't match his age: "Mother, you said that once the locust plague breaks out, more people will be able to live and work in peace and contentment."

It is written in the original book that the disaster swept through the 13 states of Dajin.

Only the capital city is more comfortable.

She reached out and touched Dabao's head: "Don't be sad, you can't do anything now, just take care of yourself first."

"Mother, how can I have my own soldiers and horses?" Dabao asked.

Yan Qingshu...

The kid really wants to be the emperor and rebel!

"If you have food, you can recruit soldiers and horses. You have to know that there are so many disasters, and there will be more refugees. The court relief is not timely. For the victims, whoever feeds them will naturally follow."

After Yan Qingshu finished speaking, she shook her head slightly and said, "Instead of retraining the farmers to be able to fight, why not..."

Yan Qingshu didn't continue talking.

She is a person who grew up under the red flag, and her three views are upright.

On weekdays, even if I saw someone suffering, I couldn't help but help.

Seeing that people in this age can't eat enough, they even want to take out the corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes in the space to plant.

But what is she doing, leading a child to rebel?

No, no, she just wanted to make this world have one more qualified king.

……

Yan Qingshu reflected on herself carefully.

His eyes fell on Dabao.

"Mother, what are you doubting, what are you wondering about?" Dabao asked Shangyan Qingshu's suspicious gaze.

"I was thinking, is it right to walk on the road of rebellion without hesitation?"

"Mother!" Dabao paused.

His eyes fell on Yan Qingshu: "Mother, you don't have to worry about me. I know what I want to do and what direction I want to go in the future. Don't put too much pressure on me. Just do whatever you want?

If you want to save people, save them. If you feel that some people are not worthy of being saved, it's up to you to think that if you want to be emperor, it's my own business. You don't have to do this..."

Yan Qingshu stretched out his hand and slapped Dabao.

They are a family now, how can there be one person's business, no matter whether it is good or bad, the whole family has to bear it together.

Dabao got slapped and covered his ass with his hand.

The little face flushed for a while.

From time to time, the scent of grasshoppers wafted over in place, Yan Qingshu ate some, rested with a full stomach, and walked towards the north.

Along the way, I met many refugees and beggars.

Passers-by saw those fleeing from Chengcun, and they either joined in or took precautions.

Even, there are fresh dead bones on the road from time to time.

Xiao Shan, who was walking on the road, felt a slight pain in his heart, and felt very uncomfortable.

The little girl reached out and grabbed him: "Are you okay!"

she asked.

Koyama shook his head.

He stared at the road ahead, reached out and scratched his hair, just for a moment, as if he had a hallucination, he actually saw his thin body, lying on the ground and being tied up, with a fire burning next to him.

Someone approached with a kitchen knife and slashed at his belly.

The follow-up feeling...

Gone!

I reached out and touched the belly, it was still intact.

He was just hallucinating.

But with that kind of pain, Xiaoshan felt that his legs were a little weak.

Hearing the movement behind her, Yan Qingshu turned her head and saw Xiao Shan's pale face and sweat on his forehead: "What's wrong?"

"It's okay, I just had a stomachache."

"Whether you can walk or not, sit on a horse if you can't walk." Walking out of the dry land, there are still three horses left. These are the most valuable possessions.

Except for those who are sick and unable to walk, no one is qualified to mount a horse.

Xiao Shan glanced at the horse and shook his head slightly. He can walk by himself.
