Bind the system and take your younger siblings to survive in the disaster years

As a result, there was a craze for reading throughout the Pear Blossom Valley. Children attend classes during the day and parents attend classes at night. But Li Xuan was exhausted.

But Li Qingxiu could see that Li Xuan was very happy. Since opening the school, Li Xuan's mental outlook has improved a lot, unlike before, where there was always a sense of sadness between his eyebrows.

Li Qingxiu saw that there were already many beehives crawling outside and did not dare to approach. She turned around to cut some tender grass to feed the goats.

As she pushed aside the weeds, something brown suddenly jumped in her face. Li Qingxiu swept it away and looked down, and saw that the thing turned out to be a locust.

Li Qingxiu didn't take it to heart, but continued to pick up the hatchet to cut the tender grass. As a result, several more locusts flew out due to being disturbed.

Li Qingxiu frowned and moved to another place to cut the young grass. Unexpectedly, when the grass was cleared and ready to be cut, dozens of locusts flew out.

Li Qingxiu's heart skipped a beat! Could it be that the lack of cold wave is caused by the locust plague? !

She worriedly walked to another mountain road, and found a lot of locusts. Li Qingxiu felt that the sudden appearance of so many locusts should be a precursor to an insect disaster.

No, before the locusts come, we must quickly notify Li Zheng and everyone to harvest all the vegetables in the field.

Thinking of this, Li Qingxiu was no longer in the mood to cut the young grass. She put all the young grass she had cut into the storage compartment, and then went down the mountain to find Li Zheng.

As soon as Li Qingxiu came down the mountain, she saw a group of half-grown men running down the mountain with anxious faces. It was obvious at a glance that they probably also guessed that the locusts were coming.

After all, every farmer is afraid of locusts when there are too many. Children who grew up in rural areas naturally know that locusts should not be taken lightly.

At this time, Li was chatting with a few senior elders. From a distance, he saw Li Qingxiu and a group of boys walking over in a hurry.

Several of them looked at each other and felt that something big might happen.

As soon as the person arrived, he heard Li Yuqi say: "Uncle Li Zheng, we found a lot of locusts in the grass on the mountain today."

Now that Li Yuqi had spoken out, Li Qingxiu stood aside and said nothing. She wanted to see how Li Zheng arranged it.

"Locusts?!" When Li Zheng and the elders heard this, their expressions changed drastically. Once the locusts pass by, no grass will grow!

At this time, one of the old men said: "Yes, I remembered that I experienced a severe drought when I was a child. The drought had just ended in the first half of the year, and in the second half of the year there was a plague of locusts. As a result, the people were really destitute during those two years. Come on, a lot of people have starved to death. Our situation now is very similar to what it was back then."

"Uncle Li Zheng, I think we should quickly gather everyone to go to the fields to collect all the vegetables, regardless of whether they are ripe or immature, and put them in the cellar."

Li Qingxiu was speechless. What time had it been? There was still time to reminisce about the past. Now she must seize every minute and every second to harvest vegetables and rice seedlings in the fields.

Before Li Zheng could speak, the old man slapped his thigh fiercely. "Yes, yes, the pretty girl is right, I will tell them to go to the ground to collect it immediately."

Li Zheng also said: "Well, let's act separately!"

Li Qingxiu did not inform others, but ran to the donkey shed to find Da Mao. Fortunately, Da Mao was sleeping in the donkey shed this time. Li Qingxiu woke Da Mao up and hitched him to the donkey cart.

Then sit in the driver's seat and drive the donkey cart to the fields quickly. Li Qingxiu got off the donkey cart and said to Damao: "Today your task is to transport the vegetables home and unload them yourself. I believe you have the ability to do it."

Da Mao made a sound to the sky and nodded.

Li Qingxiu patted the big-haired donkey's head and then went to the ground to collect white radish.

At this time, Li Zheng took out a gong and beat it while shouting: "The locusts are coming! Everyone quickly stopped what they were doing and gathered in the fields to harvest vegetables and rice seedlings. Even if you are in the hut now, you are still there." You have to pick up your pants for me and come out. If I find that someone is not here, don’t blame me for being rude."

As soon as everyone heard what Li Zheng said, they stopped what they were doing, took their hoes and sickles and ran to the fields to harvest.

When Li Lei saw that Da Mao had all been hitched to the carriage, he hitched all three horses to the cart and rushed to the field to help carry vegetables.

Li Qingxiu didn't even need a hoe or sickle. She directly grabbed a radish seedling with one hand, gently pulled it up and two muddy white radishes came out, and then threw them into the bamboo basket accurately.

When the bamboo baskets are full, Li Yuqi and Li Yuhao will help 2a carry the bamboo baskets filled with white radishes into the donkey cart, and they will come back to help pick radishes.

The three people and one donkey worked very well together to harvest the two acres of land in no time. After Li Qingxiu finished her own work, she also helped the neighboring families Li Dazhuang and Li Erzhuang to harvest the fields.

The school was not in session today. Li Xuan and his children lined up at the entrance of the cellar, and then transported the vegetables to the cellar in an assembly line manner.

When they were halfway through the grab, they heard someone shouting: "Look, there is a dark cloud in the sky flying towards this direction quickly!"

When Li Qingxiu heard this, she looked up and saw that there was indeed a big dark cloud. wrong! Maybe it’s not the clouds but the locusts!

"No, it's not dark clouds! It's locusts coming! Folks, don't stop, hurry up and continue harvesting, and then all hide in the cellar." After Li Qingxiu said that, she continued to pull spinach quickly.

After hearing this, everyone no longer looked at the swarms of locusts in the sky, but once again lowered their heads to harvest vegetables. Everyone's hands almost danced into afterimages, and the sweat on their foreheads flowed into their eyes, which were so irritated that they had no time to wipe them away. .

In my heart, I just want to go faster, faster! We must collect all these vegetables into the cellar before the locust swarms come.

When Li Wei and his son heard that the locusts were coming, they brought dozens of homemade mugwort torches and gave them to everyone.

The mugwort torch was inspired by Li Qingxiu and others picking mugwort to smoke bees. There are always many mosquitoes in the mountains, so Li Wei and his son developed this mugwort torch.

Although there were only a few dozen wormwood torches, it was enough to smoke out a path for everyone to escape into the cellar.

At this time, the "black cloud" in the sky was flying lower and lower, and there was also the buzzing sound of locusts.

"Oh my god, the locusts are really coming."

"Everyone, run, run into the cellar!"

Fortunately, all the vegetables and rice seedlings in the fields were harvested at this time. He quickly put the bamboo baskets on the three carriages, and then drove the horses to hurry them to the cellar of the nearest public school.

Da Mao didn't even need Li Qingxiu's instructions, he just ran home pulling a cart of vegetables.

At this time, the locust swarms in the sky have arrived in the Pear Blossom Valley. Facing the black swarm of locusts, everyone was so frightened that they wanted to scream.
