Chapter 78: Locust Plague

There was a mess outside and the team could not move forward.

  The official road was lit with torches, but the common people blocked the official road and howled in despair.

  It turns out that the village next to the official road experienced a black disaster during the day - a locust plague.

  This village is under the jurisdiction of Pingqing Fucheng. It is the only way from Xiani County to Guanshan County in Pingqing Fucheng.

  It hasn't rained since mid-July, and the sun is so scorching that it seems to be drying up the earth.

  The originally fierce sun disappeared in an instant. When everyone looked up, they saw a large black patch in the sky.

  Everyone was overjoyed at first, thinking it was dark clouds and it would rain soon!

  But there was no thunder, and not a drop of rain was seen.

  A swarm of locusts flew in overwhelmingly, leaving thousands of people in a dark mess.

  The locusts flew into the grain fields and ate up all the seven-year-old grains.

  Everything was clean, not a single bit was left. After eating, they flew away together.

  Then they flew to other places to eat food from other fields...

  The food was eaten up by locusts, and the people looked at the bare land under the bare poles.

  First they were confused, and then they threw themselves in the fields and cried and shouted, "What will they eat if there is no food?"

  How to live? Some people were still kneeling on the ground, biting the soil with grief and unwilling to go home.

  It wasn't until dark that the family members came out with torches to pull them back, so the official road was blocked.

  The scene was so desolate, Chu Lixuan sighed, "The people's life is going to be difficult. There is no food left in their homes. Some families may have run out of food and are waiting for new food to come out!" "

  Husband, this court will not ignore the people. It should be Someone will be sent here for disaster relief."

  Chu Lixuan wanted to say yes, to comfort his young wife so that she could rest assured, but the corners of his mouth froze.

  No sound could be made.

  "If you can't say it, don't say it. I know it all, so don't comfort me."

  It's drought again, and it's a locust plague again. According to what the people have seen, this locust plague is not a disaster for a city.

  Jiang Xinyan looked at Chu Lixuan's expression and realized that the court would not care about the common people.

  Thinking that people without food would starve to death, she felt very irritated.

  The officials broke the gongs, but the people did not give way. They were crying sadly from day to night!

  "Oh my God! I have an old man and a young child, how can we live like this!"

  "Our children haven't eaten for several days, so we just want to wait until the grain is harvested so that they can have a full meal!"

  These What a huge difference between the wails of the strong men and the delicate wails of Jin Niang!

  Looking at the men bursting into tears, the officials also felt sad.

  Their hometown must also have encountered an army of locusts!

  Even if they earn money, they can't buy much food. This drought is also a locust plague.

  There is a shortage of food. The price of food will definitely rise. I don't know if we can still buy food!

  The team could not move forward, so they had to settle down, leaving the tired, hungry and sleepy prisoners.

  Even Jiang Xinyan couldn't sleep despite being tortured by the demonic sound.

  It's not that she's not sleepy, but it takes a cold-blooded person to sleep in the face of this miserable howling.

  Jin Niang cried and walked to the carriage: "Xuan'er, give me some food! My mother is starving to death."

  Oh my God! Is this the head mistress of the Hou Mansion? With such an IQ, can he still survive to this day unscathed?

  The torch was shining brightly, and her "half-dead" son was in full view of everyone.

  Where can I get food for her?
