After the locust disaster, my fairy reincarnation identity was exposed

After hearing what Xiang Ci said, Xiang Wan nodded: "Okay, let's go, I'll accompany you."

She knew that Xiang Ci would go to the village to see grapefruit every few days during this period.

You said she likes to eat it, but she doesn’t like it that much. It always tastes bitter, so instead of planting grapefruit trees at home, we plant peach trees and jujube trees.

You said she doesn't like to eat, but she goes to see it every once in a while.

Once, when she accompanied Xiaoqi to see it, she met her grandfather who was looking at grapefruit.

Xiang Wan stared at the grapefruit for a long time, but didn't see any flowers.

But she thought, there is always something mysterious about Yuzu.

Now that Xiao Qi said this, she naturally agreed to accompany her.

The green leaves on the fence at home have long been gnawed clean by locusts, leaving only the bare commander standing guard, suffering a very miserable life.

The peach tree and the jujube tree also became two naked girls, very shy.

When walking in the village, you can still see children catching locusts.

The older child looked serious: "Be careful, don't get bitten by the locusts. This is poisonous. Don't hold it with your hands. Be careful not to get bitten."

After the child who wanted to catch it with his hands was scolded, he quickly retracted his hand, took a small bamboo tube made of bamboo, and put the locusts in it: "I didn't use my hands to hold it."

His eyes are full of well-behaved people waiting to be praised.

The eldest child then smiled and said, "Humph, you did a great job!"

The child's smile brightened.

Xiang Wan pointed at the child, smiled at Xiang Ci and said, "You were like this before. You liked your family to praise you the most. If you were teased, you would pout and cry."

The corner of Xiang Ci's mouth twitched, no, that's not me, but... okay, it's her who took over someone else's body.

There is no point in self-deception, after all, I still enjoy the love of my original family.

Xiang Ci curled his lips and said, "Good children like to hear compliments and don't like to hear amusing words. I'm right."

Xiang Wan listened to her words of protest, shook her head and smiled helplessly: "Yes, yes, Xiao Qi is the most well-behaved!"

Xiang Ci: "..."

This praise is worse than no praise at all.

As we walked all the way, all the green leaves were gone.

Xiang Ci saw a grapefruit tree in a certain family. There was not a single leaf left, and there were more than a dozen grapefruits hanging on the bare tree.

The old lady of this family was standing under the grapefruit tree, staring at the grapefruit and sighing: "These locusts have eaten up all the leaves on my grapefruit tree. I feel so distressed. If this happens, Hui, where can I find a grapefruit tree?"

When people in the village encounter any bad luck, they like to boil grapefruit leaves in boiling water to remove the bad luck.

The old lady slapping her thigh howled again: "It's a good thing that the locusts ran fast and didn't eat the grapefruits, otherwise my grapefruits would have suffered. There would be no fruit for Fairy Chang'e this Mid-Autumn Festival."

Xiang Ci watched the old lady's performance with relish and felt extremely happy.

This natural disaster is coming and cannot be avoided, so let's face it calmly. It's good to entertain yourself like this old lady.

After walking forward for a while, Xiang Ci suddenly stopped, grabbed Xiang Wan's arm, and said with a panicked expression: "Want to use grapefruit to worship Fairy Chang'e during the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

Xiang Wan was frightened by Xiang Ci's serious expression, and her little face became serious: "Yes, that's right. During the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th, we need to use grapefruits, peaches, plums, moon cakes, persimmons, and candies to worship the moon."

Knowing that Xiao Qi's question must be of great use, she filled in what she said later.

Xiang Ci has this matter in his mind, but the specific operation is not very clear.

Worshiping the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival every year was done by her family. She would sit there, eat mooncakes and admire the moon, and listen to the elders telling stories about Wu Gang cutting down trees, the Jade Rabbit in Guanghan Palace making medicine, and Chang'e's ascension. , don’t worry about other things.

As for what kind of fruits were placed on the table, she didn't remember clearly because the fruits were different every year.

So when she heard what the old lady said about worshiping the moon, she didn't even react.

She didn't react until she had walked some distance.

She stared at Xiang Wan: "Then, how many days are left until the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th?"

Xiang Wan counted on his fingers: "Forty-one days."

Xiang Ci's pupils suddenly widened and he exclaimed: "Forty-one days!"

Isn't this too fast?

She thought the grapefruit would be ripe at the end of October no matter what, but now it would be ripe in August?

This time was too short, and she did not have the confidence to let the rice mature again.

Xiang Ci walked forward absent-mindedly. As she walked, she was still unwilling to give in. She returned to the door of the old lady's house. She opened her mouth without shouting, but turned back and asked Xiang Wan: "What should I call her?"

"She called you aunt." Xiang Wan said.

Xiang Ci held his forehead, and an old lady in her sixties called her aunt. Her seniority was frightening.

She cleared her throat: "Um, is anyone home?"

Xiang Wan could see the old lady standing under the grapefruit tree at a glance: "..."

When the old lady heard the noise, she turned around and saw that the person coming was Xiang Ci. Her face was immediately filled with a smile: "Hey, it's Aunt Xiaoqi. Come on, come in."

Xiang Ci, who didn't know what to call him, declined the other party's kindness, pointed to the grapefruit tree in the yard and said with a smile: "I just heard you say that during the Mid-Autumn Festival, your grapefruit will be used as tribute. Will your grapefruit be ripe by then? Yes. Cyan or yellow skin?”

Just now I asked if there was anyone at home, but now I said that I just heard you say... Xiang Wan, who takes everything into account: "..."

The old lady smiled and said: "It's not ripe, it has green skin, but it doesn't matter. Just pick it and put it in a pile of rice to ripen it. I remember you don't have a grapefruit tree at home. Do you want to eat it? I'll pick it now and let it ripen for you." Urgent."

"No, no, no." Xiang Ci shook his head and waved his hands, "I just asked out of curiosity. I have no other meaning. I'm leaving first."

Fortunately, okay, it's an unripe grapefruit with green skin.

And the most important thing is, this is not Qiu Sao’s grapefruit.

What she saw in her dream were the grapefruits from Sister-in-law Qiu's house. She could no longer look at other people's grapefruits. She could only look at her own grapefruits. Don't mislead yourself.

Xiang Ci, who was in a false alarm, patted his beating chest and quickly came to the corner of Sister-in-law Qiu's house. Looking at Yuzi who was still there, he felt that he was alive.

Xiang Wan, who had followed her all the way, didn't say anything, just stood quietly behind her, and looked at Yuzi like her.

The grapefruit is still green, and it is particularly conspicuous on this bare tree. I always have the urge to pick it off.

Xiang Ci slapped the back of his impulsive hand and murmured, "I'll make your hands dirty."

Xiang Wan, who witnessed all this with his own eyes, sighed slightly. There are so many secrets in this child's heart.

Suddenly, a cry came from the room, the cry was very urgent and sharp.

An anxious female voice came from the room: "Goudan, be good, stop crying, okay? Mom, what should I do? Goudan's hands are so red, and the medicine Xiang Ling gave me doesn't work."

"We'll check with Dr. Xiang Ling when he comes back." This voice was familiar to Xiang Ci. It was the voice of Sister-in-law Qiu.

Sister-in-law Qiu's daughter-in-law Liu Ying said with a choked voice: "What should we do now? Goudan's hands are red and swollen, and he is crying so hard. He keeps shouting that it hurts."

A new daughter-in-law is always soft-hearted. When she sees such a little person suffering, she becomes helpless and cries along with her.
