MTL - My Koi Sister is Three and a Half Years Old-Chapter 45 Burning locusts
Chapter 45 Burning Locusts
“Second child, third child, go and collect grain quickly.”
"The warehouse is full, go and light a fire quickly. Locusts are afraid of fire..." Old Man Yan stumbled and got up from the ground with sweat on his face.
Old Chen was so frightened that she had already climbed out of bed, dragging her broken leg and shouting: "Locusts are really coming? Help, help!!" Old Chen was so frightened that she went crazy.
The few pieces of land you own can be confiscated at all!
“You all go out to harvest rice and lie down at home waiting to die? Do you really think you are some kind of eldest lady?” Old Chen couldn’t break his leg, so he immediately scolded the two second daughters-in-law.
At this time, we don’t care about whether we can go to the fields or not.
"I want to take Niuniu with me..." Ms. Zhou frowned. She had never been out of the house in so many years of marriage.
"What are you doing holding a piece of girl? Throw it away at home and go to the fields to save food. You're a worthless thing, so hurry up." Old Chen sat on the ground with disheveled hair, crying and cursing.
Mr. Chen's eyes were full of joy when she saw her third daughter-in-law being scolded. When her mother-in-law looked over, she immediately went out with a basket on her back.
There was a lot of commotion in the village last night, and she was still cursing and complaining about the noise. The smell of rice in the air was so strong that the whole village had finished harvesting.
Only confiscated from my own house!
Yan Laoer turned pale with fright, and hurriedly took the sickle and went out with Lao Yan.
Yan Mancang lit a fire, his legs and legs trembling with fear.
It was dark now and there was almost no sunlight.
“Village Chief, Village Chief, please help me, please Village Chief, please help me. Village Chief, please save our family’s food...” Old Man Yan, who had been dismissive last night, now begged the Village Chief with tears streaming down his face.
The village chief gritted his teeth with hatred: "You guys slept well last night."
Everyone’s tired calves are cramping, but you still find it too noisy.
"You will enjoy the blessing. We have been tired all night, and we still have to collect it for your family? Why can't your scholar master go to the land?" Aunt Liu glanced and saw that Yan Xiucai did not follow.
Old man Yan didn't dare to say anything, he just wiped his old tears and cried.
If there is no food, the whole family will not be able to survive.
The village chief didn't care about the curse. He only cursed a few words in his mind and said hello: "When you are done with your work, come with me and collect as much as you can. Before the locusts enter the village, you must go home immediately and close the doors and windows." "
“Thank you, everyone, thank you, everyone.” Old Man Yan thanked him hurriedly.
No one said anything, just scolded each other, but food is the lifeblood of farmers.
He didn't even take a sip of water, and his clothes were already soaked with sweat. He just asked his wife to close the doors and windows, and hurried out.
“The grain is confiscated at the old house, let me go and help.” Yan Hansheng was on duty during the day and collecting grain at night, and his eyes were red.
Yanchuan thought for a while and followed.
Go to everyone in the village. If you don't go to your own family, it will hurt your spine.
Yanlang stood at the door holding a bow and said, "I protect my parents." It was impossible for him to go to collect grain.
Yanchuan nodded.
Suisui stood in the yard, the morning light had been obscured by the locusts in the distance.
"Light a fire and burn them to death." Suisui thought for a moment, then ran up after Yanchuan. Everyone in the Yan family was busy stuffing grain into the barn, but they didn't notice her running away at all.
When Suisui passed by, only half of the rice in Laozhai had been cut.
“It can’t be done, it can’t be done. The locusts are already approaching. If we don’t leave, it will be difficult for us to return to the village.” The rice fields are outside the village, and there is still some distance to go back.
Lugging food around attracts locusts the most. If you don’t move away, you’ll be in trouble.
"Only one-third was cut off. This is only one-third. Please help me, please." Old Man Yan jumped anxiously.
"Mr. Yan, it's not that we won't help. Look, there are already locusts in this field. If we don't leave, we won't be able to leave." This rice field has been cut clean, and it will inevitably hurt people.
“There are still so many in the fields.”
“Who can blame so many people? The village chief has informed us a long time ago.” Someone couldn’t help but cursed. At this point, I should have been lying down and taking a good rest, but unexpectedly I had to go out and take risks.
The Yan family's old house is really a disaster.
“No, we have already arrived at Juren Village. We will be next, everyone go back to the village.” The village chief shouted, and the movement in Juren Village next door could be heard. I'm just beating gongs and drums to scare the locusts.
I'm afraid there is still some rice left to cut.
Juren Village was lit up all night last night, so the damage was probably not huge.
The village chief breathed a sigh of relief, his lips were numb and his teeth were cold. He understood this.
"Burn them to death..." Suisui came to the field at some point and took the village chief's hand.
"When did you run out, girl? Where's your mother?" Yan Hansheng was so frightened that he was scared out of his wits. This locust was just over a village away. This one with delicate skin and tender flesh might not even survive.
Suisui ignored her father.
Looking up, he said calmly, "Put out dry straw and burn them to death." This group of locusts in the book swept through half of the country from south to north.
"I'm afraid that the wind will blow up the mountain and the mountain fire will not be stopped." The village chief was worried.
“I won’t let it go unnoticed.” Suisui patted her chest.
The village chief became excited when he heard this. He has been waiting for your words!
“Village chief, she is just a three- or four-year-old girl. If she has the skills to set fires, she might as well cut rice for our family.”
“You **** girl, do you want to harm our family on purpose? Do you want all our rice to die in the mouths of locusts?” Yan Laoer said fiercely.
The fingertips pointed straight at Suisui, his eyes full of ferocity.
Snap.
“Ah!” Yan Laoer suddenly screamed.
Yan Chuan was seen holding his index finger with one hand, with a cold expression, and he gently broke it, and Yan Lao Er screamed.
"Second uncle, please don't point your fingers randomly. Otherwise, like your wrist, you might get injured at some point." Yan Chuan's voice was indifferent. He was obviously only a fifteen-year-old boy, but it frightened Yan Laoer.
"Let go, let go, boss, don't you care about him? Who is he? How dare he attack his second uncle?" Old Man Yan cursed angrily.
He also felt that Yan Suisui deliberately blocked the village chief from harvesting rice.
Deliberately letting the second child take care of her.
“My brother Chuan is very filial.” Yan Hansheng looked like he didn’t hear anything.
“Village Chief, all the rice in our village has been harvested, and only our family is left. What does it matter whether the locusts burn it or not? It doesn’t affect the rice in our village anyway.” Old man Yan doesn’t care about others. He only wants to harvest his own rice.
The village chief pondered for a moment: "Everyone is going to look for dry rice. The dry rice is connected together. There are still rice ears that fell last night in the ground, which is perfect for bait."
“Village chief, you can’t, my house hasn’t been collected yet.” Old man Yan was angry.
"Your house is not in good condition, and you didn't do it yourself. I knocked on your door three times yesterday, and you still called me nosy." Wang Xingfeng spat.
When everyone heard this, their faces suddenly turned cold.
I didn’t know there was such a dispute.
"I managed to collect half of it. You can only blame yourselves for this, not us. We have other things to do." Everyone said that they were just looking for dry rice to stoke the fire.
"You just believe her little girl's story. This Sangmenxing, it's all you who made my Yan family so uneasy. I should have drowned you when I brought you back!" Old man Yan kept talking, but Yan Chuan picked up his sister. , covering her ears gently.
Whispered in her ear.
“It is the luckiest thing for my brother to have my sister come to our house.” The young man’s voice was low and hoarse, but extremely gentle.
