Doomsday Farmhouse Tour

Lu Xiao stayed in the study for more than a month, and it was late summer when he finally came out.It was at this time that Lu Xiao knew that Chang An was pregnant again, and he didn't say anything when he saw that Lu Xiao was too busy.

"You should have told me, it's such a big happy event." Lu Xiao looked at Chang'an's unconceived belly, and the bubbles of joy kept popping up in his heart. He had wanted a brother for a long time.Chang'an was naturally very happy, with a happy and satisfied look on his face.

"I think you're too busy... There's no rush to talk about it." Changan was hugged by Lu Xiao, he wasn't the kind of affectation.Even if he is happy, he is still restrained, and his gentle and gentle temper is naturally very rare.

Lu Xiao shook his head while gently stroking the man's abdomen. Sexual matters are naturally not as important as children.What's more, this matter can be done in a hurry...

"The blueprints have already been prepared, and it's time for Father Qiao to make them. As for how to assemble it...I'm afraid we still have to think about it." Lu Xiao didn't hide it either, the ballista is so easy to make.What's more, you have to find a trustworthy carpenter, and there is no one except Father Qiao who knows the carpenter's craft.Zheng Dahai had a hand in his life.pity…

"Didn't Father Qiao bring a lot of apprentices? When the time comes, let's ask Wei Xun to have a look. If it's appropriate, give some more food and cloth, and just take it over." Changan leaned on Lu Xiao with a peaceful expression.In his opinion, just as the drought is becoming more and more severe now... there will only be more and no less people who will come to seek refuge in the future.There are too many people, and there are always a few that can be used by picking and picking.

"What you're saying is that since you're Father Qiao's apprentice...it's better to know what a person's character is, and it's better than not to know." Lu Xiao basically didn't object to Chang'an's words, and he had no reason to object.Chang'an originally had a temperament that he would not speak out unless he was sure of everything, so there would be no major problems at all.

Before Lu Xiao was busy making blueprints, Chang An also had some reactions because of her pregnancy.Mrs. Wei will be in charge of the account books, and Lu Xiao will naturally take over when he is not busy.

"Xiu Ming looks like I'm getting taller and taller, but I'm afraid I won't be able to..." Although Lu Xiao is so doting on him, Chang'an never thought that he would look good from the beginning to the end.Now that Xiuming is getting closer to himself and looks taller, he is more or less worried.

"What are you afraid of? If I'm like the brother of the Miao family, I can't afford to lose him." Lu Xiao felt that his son should be just like him. What's so good about liking those brothers with fair skin and tender flesh.Chang An rubbed his forehead helplessly, he could only hope that nothing embarrassing would happen then.

The two hugged each other and had a lot of private conversations, and what they cherish and want to keep the most is the quiet and peaceful time now.

...

Seeing the autumn, the surrounding waterline is falling faster.There was something ominous about the sudden sweltering heat and suffocating silence that lasted for days.

Lu Xiao ran to the fields over and over again, and then to the mountains and finally gathered all the workers together one afternoon.Don't plant the vegetables that are going to be planted, and collect all the rice and vegetables and put them in the closed cellar, no matter when it is not time to collect them.On weekdays, I eat the grain stored in the small warehouse, and the cellar is temporarily locked to prevent people from entering.

This kind of action obviously attracted everyone's attention, and Lu Xiao still told his prediction without hiding it.As for how many people believe and how many people don't, it has nothing to do with him.He just needs to ensure that his family minimizes losses, and he is not [-]% sure.

With the Lu family's grain storage, even if they sacrificed this crop of grain, they wouldn't hurt their muscles and bones. As for other people, it's different.In the end, few people harvested grain in advance like this. After all, the rice is not full now. Although it can be eaten, it will definitely lose money... Besides, every family is short of grain now.

No matter what others think, the workers of the Lu family are not idle.The chickens and ducks were quickly transferred to the closed wooden house, and other livestock were also hidden early.Almost all the food and vegetables were harvested within three days, and Lu Xiao did not relax because of this, but worried about the back mountain.

When locusts cross the border, not a single blade of grass grows.The plants in the back mountain must not be able to escape such spoilage, and what is even more worrying is whether the beasts without food will take the risk again to attack the gathering place of human beings?

The reconstruction of the county was temporarily suspended, and Wei Xun asked the workers in the county to go back to the inn to hide.The slaves who made black powder on the back mountain were also hidden in a secret wooden house in advance. Fortunately, there are not many people in this group and they are not afraid of being discovered for the time being.

After two days in a row, everyone thought that Lu Xiao was making a fuss.A person from a neighboring village suddenly ran to Lujia Village with a panicked expression.

"Locusts, locusts...they're coming from the south." As soon as the man's words came, the other villagers started harvesting their own rice without saying a word.It's just that people's speed is no match for locusts, and they can only take a few rounds.In less than a quarter of the time, the locusts came overwhelming.

Although the original locust plague was terrible, it never killed anyone.However, now that the locust has mutated, a pair of upper jaws have become extremely hard and sharp.Although it still won't bite people to death, but it hurts people to grin their teeth.Lu Xiao was afraid that locusts would crawl in through the cracks in the door and windows, so he sealed the gap tightly with ice crystals.

Not only was the house closed, but the inspection team also withdrew two days earlier.The moment the locusts arrived, the sky suddenly darkened.It is no exaggeration to say that it covers the sky and the sun, especially the big locusts clinging to the transparent ice crystals, their red compound eyes staring straight at people.Such a bloody color is really scary.

Lu Xiao and Liu Shuhe are fine, after all, they are naturally calm after seeing human blood.It was Mrs. Wei and Wei Wan who really reacted the most. Although these two were more knowledgeable than ordinary brothers, they had never seen such a thing before, and they were afraid that they would be beaten to death by the servants before they appeared in front of their eyes.Now that I came into contact suddenly, it is understandable that I feel uncomfortable.

The sound insulation in the village has always been poor, and from time to time there will be the sound of villagers screaming.I'm afraid it's too late to harvest food and I don't want to be ruined by locusts, so I can take as much as I can.However, the locusts at this moment have long been hungry, and those with a lot of food in their hands naturally became the primary targets.

"Thanks for making preparations in advance, otherwise..." Chang An rubbed his stomach with one hand and hugged Lu Xiao's arm with the other, his expression was very bad.Although he is not afraid of bugs, it is still unbearable to be so densely packed.

"It's okay..." Lu Xiao turned the transparent ice crystals into white while pulling him into his arms.In this way, the locusts lying outside the house were naturally invisible, and the female family members in the house were naturally relieved.

Lu Xiao didn't make it transparent on purpose, but wanted to see the situation of the locust plague, but the ice crystal was already covered with locusts, so he couldn't see anything.Especially the female relatives in the family are obviously not used to it, so they just turn white.

As for the sealed grain in the cellar, I am not afraid that someone will take advantage of the chaos and hide it privately.After all, who would dare to act rashly with such a density of locusts, especially since he had also frozen the cellar door early.Not to mention people, there are not a single bug.

"It's already so late, everyone should eat something. It's good to save some strength..." Lu Mo himself was feeling uncomfortable, but he still forced himself to ask the cook to get some food, because he couldn't go out of the hall, so he could only make some cold dishes.

Two pots of pre-made air-dried chicken, two big plates of pickled vegetables, cucumbers and peppers, one pot of pork jelly and one pot of bacon and sausages.The four families can barely eat enough.

"I don't know when this kind of disaster year will end. It's because God doesn't allow people to survive." Father Lu, who has always been optimistic, couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and Father Zheng and Father Liu also followed suit.But although I worry about my future life every day, it is still a very good life for now, but I still can't relax my mood.

"Look at those refugees, let's be content. If we really want to leave our hometown, we don't know what kind of life we ​​will live." Liu Laoyao is the oldest and the most open-minded. If that day comes, he will wait to die in the village and he will not die as a guest. foreign land.

"It's still the youngest who can think about it. It's useless to think too much about these things...It just made me sad out of thin air." Probably because he didn't want to get too deep into it, he asked Lu Xiao for two jars of fine wine and didn't get drunk.Lu Xiao thought that when Father Zheng and the others seldom relax, it will take two days for the locusts to fade away, and he will give it up quickly.

Father Zheng drank the wine without saying a word, and only he understood what it felt like to see other people's children and grandchildren.Dahai is usually such a strong person, why did he just go like that!

Zheng Mo was called away by Lu Mo and others, and A Yun also followed Chang'an, not forgetting to take the child with him when he left.Lu Xiao, Liu Shuhe and the other four were not ignorant, they found a place and started talking about their future plans.

Father Zheng's various gaffes can also be imagined by Lu Xiao and the others, but it's inconvenient to watch.After all, it's the father-in-law, they can only avoid it as juniors, they can't hurt people's face... even hesitate to comfort them.

...

The four men looked at each other silently for a long time, and Lu Xiao was also helpless.Wei Xun is a businessman, Lu Jing is a soldier, and Liu Shuhe is a literati. The three of them are fine with their official business, but it would be difficult to talk about their private affairs together.

"Lu Jing, I asked a brother to take care of you a few days ago. What do you think? Whether it's suitable or not..." Wei Xun and Liu Shuhe had a lot of careful thoughts. It's not that the betrayal is so serious, but it's inevitable. Selfishness.Only after Lu Jing was rescued by him and he was able to wash away his grievances, he never had the slightest thought for Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao naturally gave such a person enough trust, and he didn't plan to ask more about his behavior of being single all the time. Chang'an obviously didn't think so.Lu Jing is loyal to Lu Xiao, so he should help others to plan well.

"This..." Lu Jingteng's face turned red. He hadn't seen his brother much since he was born and joined the army, and he lost his mind after being framed.Lu Xiao was kind to him, so he tried his best to repay him.He was clueless about this kind of thing before, but now he is quite at a loss when he encounters it suddenly.

"Are you doing it on purpose or not? My brother is going to marry after all, if he sees it, he can just go after him." Wei Xun is surrounded by people who throw themselves into their arms, so naturally they don't understand Lu Jing's entanglement, Lu Jing listened Instead, it shrinks back a bit.Liu Shuhe couldn't help chuckling when he saw it, he thought he was the most capable person, but now there is someone who is hesitant to even confirm his thoughts.This made him, who was used to Lu Xiao's lightning methods, very happy.There is also a little more maintenance between the words...

"Although he came here as a refugee, he was also a brother of a rich family before. I... I travel all over the world every day, so how can I give him a peaceful life?"

It took Lu Jing a long time to spit out a sentence, and the other three couldn't help being stunned.Obviously, he didn't expect Lu Jing to have such an idea, it's all said and done before.If it wasn't for Lu Jing, that person would have no chance of living in the Lu family safely.Along the way, I'm afraid he'll either starve to death or freeze to death, or be ruined to death. After all, such a watery brother... There are many people staring at him in troubled times.
