After the locust disaster, my fairy reincarnation identity was exposed

Chapter 102 Loyalty and filial piety are difficult to achieve

Seeing Xiang Wan being serious and asking for the truth, Xiang Ci suppressed a smile: "This is my secret language, I won't tell you."

Xiang Wan glanced at Xiang Ling, then looked at Xiang Ci: "Did you say that you like the fifth sister very much but don't like the fourth sister's secret words?"

Xiang Ci really doesn't want to involve Xiang Wan: "No. Don't ask. This title can only make Xiang Ling shout, so don't shout."

Xiang Wan stared at Xiang Ci, her face serious and serious, but her eyes were accusing.

Don’t you like me, the fourth sister?

Xiang Ci almost told her the truth, but luckily he held back and ran to catch the locusts.

In the past, in school, everyone called himself daddy, and he was the one who raised good sons and daughters.

Now that they are here, asking them to call themselves daddy makes them feel really guilty.

But I'm still so happy, but I can't share this happiness with anyone.

Sadness... as big as a river!

Xiang Wan approached Xiang Ling, her face full of envy: "She said that you are the only one who can call me daddy."

Xiang Ling frowned: "I can't even ask you, so fine, I'll ask Kaixin to ask her next time."

Xiang Wan gave her a thumbs up: "Yes."

The two of them approached Xiang Ci, one on the left and the other on the right, to catch the locusts.

Xiang Ci, who was holding back his laughter, quickly moved to the side to avoid being talked into by the two of them.

Seen from a distance, these locusts are all black. When you look closer, you find that most of them are dark green, and some are black.

The dark-colored ones are slightly poisonous, so humans are best not to eat them.

The green ones are the locusts that can be fried and grilled.

Xiang Ci put the caught locusts into a bamboo tube and covered them to prevent them from flying away. Then he killed them and dried them in the sun. This became the favorite feed of roosters and hens.

Slowly moving outside the courtyard, there was no grass left outside.

Not only were the crops and weeds in the fields gone, but even the leaves were gone, and they were all bare.

Really leaving no grass behind!

Looking at the once green mountains and green waters of the village, now turned into ashes and ashes, Xiang Ci felt heartbroken and her eyes were slightly red.

This is what happened to her village after they plundered and harvested grain. What about the villages that didn’t plunder and harvest grain?

It's not that she doesn't want to help, it's that her ability is limited and she can't help much.

She slowly stopped waving randomly and walked towards the village without stopping.

There was a heavy sigh from beside him, and a figure left quickly.

Xiang Ci looked at his grandfather's back and felt that his whole body was filled with sadness that could not be hidden and overflowed his whole body.

Farmers are most afraid of encountering this kind of disaster!

Xiang Ci grabbed the bag of the insect catching net and walked towards the village step by step. He saw many people catching locusts.

The adults all looked sad, but the children laughed happily and happily caught locusts with their nets.

You can also hear the children talking about how to roast the locusts and eat them, and then everyone scolded them not to do it, saying that they were poisonous. The children then gave up and passed on the hard-earned snacks to the poultry.

Mr. Xiang and Mr. Xiang met halfway, looked at each other, and sighed together, with endless sadness in their voices.

"This locust disaster is the most serious I have ever seen." Xiang Lao curled his lips with a sad look on his face, "Seeing God giving us food to eat, I never expected that something like this would happen."

Mr. Xiang's eyes were full of worry: "I'm afraid the price of food will rise."

Mr. Xiang said sadly: "I wonder how many more people will starve to death?"

There are locusts here, and naturally there are locust plagues elsewhere. It is the time when the rice is about to be harvested, and suddenly there is a locust plague, and all the rice is probably destroyed.

All the rice fields in the country have been destroyed, and famine will follow. This is not just a matter of rising food prices, but how many people will starve to death.

Without food, no matter how much money you have, it is useless.

Even those who have money cannot buy food, and people without money cannot buy food. Without food, they will starve to death.

Mr. Xiang looked at the gray village, his eyes moistened: "What you did was right."

Mr. Xiang didn't say anything, whether he was right to ask everyone to dig cellars to stockpile grain, or whether he was right to ask his two grandsons to inform other villages about the harvest.

The rich man walked up to the two of them with his hands behind his back, the look on his face was not much better than theirs.

He walked up to Mr. Xiang and patted him on the shoulder: "You did the right thing. I will tell them not to talk nonsense."

"But I still want to ask, our village has exchanged rice seeds for grain, and made fire pits for grain. The surrounding villages are aware of this."

"In addition, your family, Xinsong and Xinrong, notified the surrounding villages that locusts are coming... I'm afraid, they will ask us if we knew that locusts were coming. How are you going to answer?"

They dig cellars secretly and store food secretly.

However, everyone knew that they exchanged rice seeds for food, and that the villagers used food to pay their bills by making fire pits.

Those people are not stupid. They will definitely guess something after the locusts arrive.

Mr. Xiang bit his pipe and looked at Mr. Xiang: "It's up to you this time."

Xiang Lao was stunned for a moment and said in shock: "It's not Xiao Qi... Yes, we can't hand Xiao Qi over. We have to protect her and prevent her from being snatched away by people from other villages."

"Then what shall I do?"

If people in other villages know that there is a Little Seven Fairy in their village who can communicate with gods and predict disasters, the people in those villages will definitely come to snatch Little Seven.

If we can prevent thieves today, how can we prevent them every day?

The wealthy elder also looked at Mr. Xiang curiously to see what he could do.

Mr. Xiang's voice deepened: "You are the oldest and oldest old man in the mountains in this area. You have seen droughts, floods, locust plagues, and many other disasters."

"Looking at the weather, it hasn't rained in two months, and the sun is getting stronger and stronger. It reminds you of a drought you encountered when you were a child. You are very scared..."

Mr. Xiang paused when he said this. Mr. Xiang and the elders of the wealthy family all stared at him and listened carefully.

"Before a major disaster comes, animals will have early warnings. For example, the mice escaped last time and the earth dragons turned over, indicating that there will be a drought."

"The drought is coming, and the locusts are not far away."

"So you told me about Li Zheng, and then I told the whole village."

Mr. Xiang stared at Mr. Xiang with burning eyes: "You put it like this. This matter is too big, you have to shoulder it and protect Xiao Qi."

Knowing that the locusts were coming, he had a bad conscience and did not tell the surrounding villages.

Food is the life of farmers, and he is also a farmer. He cannot remain indifferent.

He didn't regret what he did, he only regretted his lack of ability.

But he must protect Xiaoqi and the entire Xiangjia Village.

Since ancient times, it is difficult to have both loyalty and filial piety. You cannot have the cake and eat it, so he can only choose one or the other.

"Okay." Mr. Xiang nodded without a trace of hesitation, "There has to be an explanation for this matter. When I was a child, no elderly person in the surrounding villages has been able to get confirmation."

He, Xiang Deshou, is 86 years old and is a dead old man that everyone talks about as immortal. No old monster can tell what happened to him when he was a child.

So what he said, who can accuse him of lying? Is there any evidence?

If there is no evidence, then just listen.

If you don’t listen, get out.
