Chapter 79: More Locusts
Chapter 79 Locusts increase
“That’s it, Kaori, you help to keep Feiyao, don’t let her run around.”
Wang Yishuang didn’t think much, but went in with Wei to say hello to Yin Zhenghong and Liu.
“It’s hard for the three of you. Since you’re here, just stay here for the time being.”
Liu has already heard about Wang Yishuang.
“Just now Feiyao is being rude, and I still look at the second old Haihan.” Wang Yishuang said again.
“It’s okay, it’s all poor children, let her play with Miao’er here.”
As soon as Yin Zhenghong spoke, Zheng Feiyao shrank behind Wang Yishuang again.
Yin Miao had to take Zheng Feiyao out first, and Kaori followed behind.
“Is Fei Yao still used to sleeping these two days?”
Yin Miao supported Zheng Feiyao to the courtyard.
“Miao’er’s sword looks very good, wait until I use it to kill heartless people all over the world!”
Zheng Feiyao picked up a pair of black-fired tongs from the stove wall and waved it into the air. Kaori hurriedly stopped it and apologized from the side.
“Fei Yao still uses swords?”
Yin Miao didn’t know what kind of stimulation Zheng Feiyao was getting, but she saw that although the tongs she was waving were slow, it seemed like she had learned it.
“When I was in the capital, the young lady studied with a martial arts master for two or three months, but she only learned some fur.”
Kaori has already grabbed the tongs and explained.
“Sword and man are one, and the dog emperor accepts his order!”
Zheng Feiyao, whose tongs had just been taken away, hit the wooden pillar on the courtyard wall again.
“…”
Yin Miaozhen was worried that Zheng Feiyao would knock down the earth wall of their house, so she quickly grabbed her, but was suddenly brought to the ground by her.
“Sorry, sorry, miss, she didn’t mean it.”
Kaori has apologized many times in half a day.
“It’s ok.”
Yin Miao rubbed her buttocks that hurt from the fall, but luckily the courtyard wall did not fall.
“Fei Yao should stop saying such rebellious words in the future.”
Yin Miao advised that if Xiao Xuan was so prepared, it meant that the village was not absolutely safe.
But obviously Zheng Feiyao didn’t understand, and even wanted to take Yin Miao to kill the dog emperor with her, but Yin Miao finally blocked her mouth with a small taro.
“Finally gone.”
After Wang Yishuang and the three of them left, Mrs Liu sat down clutching her heart.
Hearing Zheng Feiyao’s shout just now, she and Yin Zhenghong were trembling with fear.
That is the emperor, even if Zheng Feiyao has become a lunatic, this is also the crime of beheading.
“Yeah, if she says that again in the future, she’ll be locked at home and not brought out again.”
Yin Zhenghong’s words are very clear, he hopes Wei Shi will not bring such “dangerous people” to his home again. It’s okay to help, but she just wanted to pull Miao’er, what if this affects Yin Miaoke?
“What my parents said is, wish you could save it.”
Wei Shi also regretted it a little, she didn’t expect Zheng Feiyao to start saying such rebellious words as soon as she came.
“Mother, is the ledger ready?”
Yin Miao asked.
Mr. Wei nodded and said it was an account book, but it was actually just a piece of paper. Yin Miao was even more surprised when she saw the silver taels registered on the paper.
Wang Yishuang and the three actually hid 20 taels of silver and 5 taels of gold? !
“This can help them solve their urgent needs.”
The Zhen family is still envious, why didn’t they think of hiding some money in the first place?
Shi Zhang happily pushed open the door. In her arms, she was holding the bamboo basket that Brother Han used to hold the bugs, which seemed to be full.
Yin Chengyun also followed behind, but said helplessly: “Today, the eldest brother went to take the villagers alone, and I don’t worry about Meng Lan running around alone.”
After the wall of Changling Village was built, Yin Bowu and Yin Chengyun still responded to Wei Lizheng’s request and only went to help train the villagers for half an hour in the morning and half an hour in the evening. After all, the villagers still had unfinished farm work during the day. But Yin Chengyun was still worried that Mr. Zhang would go catch the locusts alone, so he went with her.
“It’s easy there. Although there is a wall in the village, Meng Lan still has to be careful when she goes out alone. You can follow her in the future.”
Mrs. Liu also said that Mrs. Zhang was different from Mrs. Miao’er, Mrs. Zhang had the skill to stand by herself, but Mrs. Zhang did not.
“Hey, there are more locusts today than yesterday. I caught these with only my hands.”
Mr. Zhang said proudly.
“It seems that God really wants to keep people alive.”
Mr. Liu glanced at the basket full of locusts. The weather has started to get hot in the past few days, and the vegetable field in the yard has to be watered twice a day.
“A plague of locusts? Don’t be afraid, we can just eat it.”
Mr. Zhang plans to try roasting locusts today.
“Menglan, the book has recorded the situation when the locust plague came. The so-called locusts covered the sky and the sun was colorless, and the wild old fields were crying and blood. The big branches were completely empty and the small branches were broken. Even if you eat locusts, you may not be able to catch them all.”
Yin Chengyun said. Even if people can eat locusts, as long as there is a locust plague, the crops are very likely to fail.
“Third Uncle, if there are as many locusts in the poem, how long will it take?”
Yin Miao asked after thinking.
“This…I don’t know much either.”
Yin Chengyun scratched the back of his head, he had some fur on his civil and military affairs, but he knew very little about the affairs of the common people.
“The short one is half a month, and the long one is more than a month.”
Xiao Xuan’s voice sounded from behind, and on his shoulders stood Xiangrui who was scared away by Zheng Feiyao.
“If there are so many locusts, maybe you can really follow what Brother Han said and let the chickens and ducks raised in the villagers’ homes go out. I think chickens and ducks will eat locusts first.”
Yin Miao said that locusts are more nutritious in the eyes of chickens and ducks than some immature crops without nutrition and protein. If there are enough locusts, they will become the main food of chickens and ducks. Especially chickens, after eating locusts, the eggs they lay will have higher nutritional value, which is a killing two birds with one stone.
There were no pesticides in ancient times, and she believes that the most effective way is to use the food chain.
“Yes, why didn’t the villagers think of it before?”
Mr. Wei doesn’t understand, how can no one try something that a child can think of at any age? Is it because this method is not feasible?
Xiao Xuan shook his head and said, “People in many places are often in awe of locusts. Most of them think that locusts are poisonous, and even offer sacrifices to pray for the locust gods to fade away, let alone eat them. Changling Village is located in a remote area. , coupled with the lack of food and Miss Yin’s demonstration, that’s why the villagers dared to try it out.”
“That’s right. When I came back just now, I heard that the group of people who went to serve as corvée are now going to build the altar instead. It is said that it is a ceremony to pray for the rain to send the locust god.”
Yin Bowu came in from outside and said.
“Is there really a locust god?”
Liu Shi couldn’t help but worry, will they eat locusts like this, will they make the locust **** angry?
“Definitely not.”
Yin Miao blurted out. Seeing that everyone in the house was looking at her, she had to explain: “If there is, then since ancient times, has the locust plague been solved by sacrifice?”
Sacrifices are useless, that is, they are unnecessary.
