Gao wanted to say something else, but Shi Tiezhu agreed: "Then let's go together, one more person will bring more strength."

Shi Tiezhu quickly took out the tools and put them on the cart, pulled them out and went out. Looking at the people watching the excitement outside the door, he said, "I believe what my in-laws said. It's up to you whether you believe it or not."

Everyone hurriedly said: "Xiang Li is a very powerful man. If he says there is one, then there must be one. My family will also go and collect it."

Without any further delay, the group all ran home, picked up their tools, and headed into the fields.

After Shi Lizheng got the news, he asked people to beat gongs in the village: "The locusts are coming, hurry up and harvest them!"

Suddenly, the entire Shijia Village started to move.

Xiang Xinsong endured the pain and cut the rice with a sickle. Even if he went home now, he couldn't help the family, so he might as well help at his father-in-law's house.

I don’t know how long it will take before the locusts come, but they are very fierce.

No one spoke, everyone harvested the rice as fast as possible. The sun above their heads was so hot that their backs were burning, and sweat rolled down one by one.

Shi Xinghu came back with sweat all over his head. He put the harvested rice on the cart and pressed it again and again. Then he pulled the cart full of rice home and piled it into the kitchen.

After getting off the rice fields, I closed the doors and windows, then pulled the cart and hurried to the fields.

On the road in the village, everyone came and went in a hurry, without saying hello when they met, and they were all rushing to harvest rice.

Every household has a yard, and vegetables from all seasons are planted in the yard. But at this time, no one is harvesting vegetables, everyone is harvesting rice.

This is food, and losing it is life-threatening.

The whole village of Shijia Village was moved, but the people of Yujia Village were the first to take action.

As soon as Uncle Yu took the sickle, his grandmother snatched it away, threw it on the ground and cursed: "You have lived to the point of a dog's belly. Do you believe what a little brat with no hair on his head says?" You see, someone asked him just now, did he answer us? It was obviously a joke, but you really took it seriously."

Second uncle Yu forced a smile: "The rice harvest is not bad now..."

"Fart." Second uncle's grandma slapped her second uncle's back hard, gritting her teeth, "I don't understand maturity and immaturity, but you don't understand either. I'm telling you, you are not allowed to go."

Second uncle Yu was very embarrassed: "But what if Li Zheng said that we should rush to harvest rice?"

The second uncle and grandma smiled coldly: "You think that person with only two drops of ink in his belly is a god, and he still knows that locusts are coming? Just stay here and don't go anywhere."

Second uncle Yu still wanted to struggle, but his grandmother shot him with a knife, and he hung his head and did not dare to say anything.

Separated by a wall, Yu Zhanfu and his mother Chen heard the conversation clearly.

Yu Zhanfu asked Chen carefully: "Mom, are we going to harvest rice?"

"No." Mrs. Chen tiptoed and glanced next door, "They are smarter than us, let's listen to them."

Yu Zhanfu was a little hesitant: "But no one is joking about this matter, right?"

Mrs. Chen looked at her son tenderly: "Be good, son, and listen to your mother, that's right."

Yu Zhanfu looked at his gentle mother and grinned: "Well, I will listen to you."

Mrs. Chen was happy. This was her son. Who else could her son listen to if he didn't listen to her?

Do you listen to his wife?

How is it possible? This is her son.

"Li Zheng, why are you here?"

When Mrs. Chen heard this from next door, she immediately stepped on a stool and leaned on the wall to look next door, and saw Yu Li in the courtyard of Yu's family.

Yu Lizheng was a little embarrassed: "Second brother, do you think the locusts are coming are true or false? You are a scholar, please tell me so that I can have a better idea."

Uncle Yu smiled bitterly: "Li Zheng, I really don't know..."

"There are no locusts! Where did the locusts come from?" The second uncle and grandma rolled her eyes at Yu Lizheng, "Thanks to you, you are still being honest. You can't even tell the difference between good and bad. Why do you think you are being honest?"

"It's better to work for my old man."

Uncle Yu's face turned red with shame at these words, and he lowered his voice: "Don't talk nonsense."

"You can be more cruel." The second uncle's grandmother stood up and attacked the second uncle Yu with a fierce expression.

Second uncle Yu lowered his voice again, with a tone of begging: "Stop talking, I was wrong, is it okay?"

The second uncle and grandma refused to give up. Seeing this, Yu Lizheng didn't ask any more questions and left silently.

The villagers outside the fence courtyard immediately gathered around to look at Yu Lizheng: "Li Zheng, is this true or false?"

"My dad said it's a nice day today, and it doesn't look like there will be locusts."

"It looks like a good harvest. If locusts really come, my whole family will starve to death."

"No matter, I'll go grab it."

"I won't go. We are good at farming and are better than those who can only read. God has given us food to eat. Do you still want to harm the food in this field?"

"Yes, I won't go either. I have been farming for decades. Who can be as good as us? Why ask?"

"Those who study are not as good as us in farming."

After hearing this, the second uncle and grandma rushed over, holding her waist: "Fuck your mother..."

This group of people were so scolded that they quickly ran away for their lives, not daring to stay here any longer and be scolded.

Mrs. Chen took Yu Zhanfu back to the house: "There are no locusts. Go read a book and I will make you a new dress. Oh, my cub, you are so beautiful. You will be the happiness of my mother's life."

Yu Zhanfu smiled shyly, and Xiao Qi's appearance suddenly flashed in his mind, but when he thought that Xiao Qi could cure the second uncle and grandma who was afraid of the whole village, he was so frightened that he woke up with a jolt.

No, no, Xiao Qi is too powerful, his mother will suffer a loss, I can’t think about her, I can’t think about her.

The summer breeze is the coolest thing. It blows all the way, and the golden rice in the fields is layered like waves, which is as beautiful as a painting.

Xiang Xinsong straightened up, wiped his sweat, and looked at the sun moving westward.

Almost an hour and a half has passed since he set out, and the locusts haven't come yet.

Some of the villagers who were harvesting rice in the fields had questions and wanted to ask, but seeing everyone harvesting rice, they felt they had nothing to ask.

But some people still couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Are there really locusts?"

"I don't know, it doesn't look like it."

"I don't think so either."

"How much rice do you have left before you finish harvesting?"

"I thought there were no locusts, so I slowed down a little bit. I'll leave a little bit behind."

"I think so too. You can see that their harvesting speed has also slowed down."

"Hey, why are there dark clouds in the sky? They are moving so fast. Isn't it going to rain?"

"How can it rain at this time?"

If it rains, a lot of rice will be destroyed, which is really sad.

Hearing what everyone said, Xiang Xinsong straightened up and looked in the direction of the dark clouds, squinting his eyes.

Before I could see clearly, I heard a panicked roar: "It's locusts!"

"The locusts are coming, hurry up and collect them!"

"Hurry, the locusts are coming!"
