I learned skills in a different world

Originally, when they learned that a locust plague was coming to Yuchengguan, Lin Xiaotao and others felt extremely nervous as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

Their impressions of locust plagues since they were young are hunger, death, plunder, and the despair and helplessness of watching the food they managed to grow at home be wiped out and their loved ones starved to death.

Therefore, they were afraid of and disgusted with locusts, and in the end they could only reluctantly settle down under Shen Fangshi's comfort.

Every day we are particularly active in preparing ways to kill locusts.

But before they could take the stage, they saw a group of uninvited guests suddenly appear.

I saw a group of pink birds in mid-air frantically chasing and intercepting the group of locusts. I'm afraid that the locusts would be wiped out before they could take action.

Lin Xiaotao sighed in confusion: "I didn't expect such an exquisite and small bird to be so powerful!"

Other apprentices answered: "Yes, I wonder where these red birds come from?" 1

Mo Yuting kept it secret. He saw Mr. Lin attracting those birds with his own eyes that day. Mr. Lin must have expected that locusts would cross the border, so he made preparations in advance.

["Di - Congratulations to the host for completing side task 1 and helping farmers in Yuchengguan harvest crops.

Distribute rewards: ten top-quality spiritual stones and ten kilograms of fine rice seeds. ”]

Shen Fangshi felt relieved, the locust plague was over.

After the pink starlings complete their mission, they will return to nature. Since they are produced by the system, they will only be maintained in a certain number and will not cause biological invasion.

What should I do with this rice seed? Yuchengguan is located in the interior of the mainland and lacks water resources, so it is not very suitable for growing rice. However, the system said that this rice species is a drought-resistant rice variety and can be grown as long as the conditions are not too bad.

After thinking about it, Shen Fangshi decided to secretly throw a few fine rice seeds soaked in Lingquan water to the river, and then pretend that he had accidentally discovered that the seeds of this plant could be eaten.

Xu Zhonghu's lips were dry and he staggered while carrying his mother on his back.

His mother kept telling her to leave her alone, but he didn't say a word. In fact, he was exhausted and just wanted to sit down and rest, but he didn't dare to stop. Once he stopped, he would be abandoned by the large army, in this deserted place. Once the place is left alone, the consequences can be imagined.

His village was the place that was attacked by locusts earlier. A flood destroyed many houses and killed many villagers. His uncle's family did not escape. The days became more and more difficult day by day. He finally waited until the food was about to be harvested. Although The harvest doesn't look good, but there is always a glimmer of hope for survival.

But things did not go as they wished, and greater disasters were still waiting for them.

At that time, the black locusts swept in. The family hid in the house and did not dare to go out. The mother tried to rush out many times, but was stopped by the father. The whole family shed tears silently. They knew that when the locusts came, they would finally reap the harvest. The food will be eaten up.

Sure enough, by the time the locusts left, the crops in their fields had been reduced to bare stalks or completely eaten away.

They all relied on a little food in the fields to survive, but a locust plague shattered their illusions. They had already experienced floods and had not yet recovered. Now their way of survival was completely cut off.

Surrounded by the cries of the villagers, there was no food to eat, and the heavy taxes made him breathless. He only knew that this day had become his nightmare.

Then, he became a refugee and fled with the whole village.

On the way to escape, people kept dying of hunger and illness, and there were fewer and fewer people in the village. When they were walking through the mountains and forests, they encountered bandits. He relied on his physical strength to escape with his mother, but Separated from his father, younger brothers and sisters.

They could only follow a large army fleeing from famine. On the way to the north, they encountered many states and counties, but they closed their city gates tightly and refused to let them in. In some places, officers and soldiers were sent to drive them away.

In the end, they had no choice but to continue going north. I heard from them that to the north was a place where a great general was, a hero of their Wei Dynasty, who would definitely not give up on them.

Xu Zhonghu was noncommittal about this. Along the way, he had seen too many big figures with a reputation for kindness ignore them.

But he still insisted on walking with his mother on his back.

Just when he could no longer hold on, suddenly, there was a commotion in front of the team. He could only vaguely hear someone shouting that there was food in front and someone was giving porridge.

Xu Zhonghu raised his head, his vision had been blurred by sweat. He suddenly gained strength again. When it was his turn, he saw clearly that someone was giving porridge at the gate of the city. There were many tall officers and soldiers standing around, and the weapons in their hands flashed. Under the cold light, the refugees who were so hungry that they lost their senses did not dare to move and lined up honestly.

Along the way, people were fighting for even a piece of tree bark, and most people were hungry. When drinking the hot porridge, many people shed tears. I don't know whether it was because of emotion and excitement, or because of the sadness that their loved ones could not hold on.

The porridge man saw Xu Zhonghu looking miserable, but still carrying an old woman on his back. Seeing him like this, he quickly scooped up a bowl of porridge and handed it to him.

Xu Zhonghu took it, one bowl of porridge for each person. Xu Zhonghu did not intend to take the second bowl immediately, but walked to the side of the team, put his mother down, and carefully supported her to feed her the porridge.

The person who was giving the porridge was a kind-hearted person. Seeing this, he sighed at Xu Zhonghu's filial piety and reminded him: "Your mother looks a little weak. If you get sick, you can go over there to find Mr. Lin and the others."

Hearing this, he said warily: "My mother is not sick, she is just hungry and has no strength."

The porridge man didn't care, and brought another bowl of porridge to Xu Zhonghu. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, everyone has to drink a bowl of soup over there. It's to prevent epidemics. I've also drank it." , then I dare to contact you."

"But if you are already sick, you should go to Mr. Lin for treatment."

Xu Zhonghu finally felt relieved. After finishing the porridge, he carried his mother over.

When we got here, there were already many people queuing up to drink the decoction to prevent the epidemic. Xu Zhonghu also noticed that there were many tents set up outside the city, which should be specially set up to receive the refugees.

Xu Zhonghu felt relieved and was about to queue up when he was stopped by a young boy, "Hey, big man, you don't have to queue up. Follow me here."

Before Xu Zhonghu could be alert, he heard him explain: "Your mother seems to be sick, and sick people need specific diagnosis and treatment."

He followed the young man to a temporary thatched shed, surrounded by many officers and soldiers. Under the shed there was only a simple desk with some common medical equipment.

There is a doctor sitting behind the desk.
