To the people of Stone Village, this was a miracle. The seemingly endless locusts seemed to disappear in the smoke from the ordinary fire.

Originally thought it would be another disaster, a catastrophe that could wipe out the lives of countless people, it seemed that it came to an abrupt end.They couldn't help crying, venting the panic and helplessness in their hearts and the joy of sudden knowledge in the form of crying.

"It's better to cry here than to go back and help burn. Now the locust swarm is not limited to our village. Although we can't see it now, it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. It's impossible for the locust plague to only cover our village so coincidentally. It’s not enough, before we finish catching the ones in the village, the surrounding ones will move over.”

Lin Anyu said that when he heard what happened here and was brought here, what he saw was the scene of them crying uncontrollably.He could understand the other party's mood, but the most important thing now was to settle the matter.

Crying can't make the locusts gracious when they eat, but it can make you feel better. But after crying, you have to do what you have to do, and your life will not stagnate because of anyone.

"I am, I just can't help it." They said embarrassedly with their faces still a little black and red.

"Yes, how do you do this? I also have firewood at home, so I'll go back and do it."

"Let's go back and start a fire, and see how arrogant these locusts are!"

The villagers responded one after another, and after asking what to do, they immediately turned around and set up such a fire outside their yard.

People at this time can be said to be multi-talented, and it is not difficult for them to make small things, and the shelves are quickly set up.And firewood is something that everyone will never lack at home. For them who have used it for half their lives, how to light the fire so that there will be smoke can be said to be very handy.

As a result, clusters of fires gradually rose in the village, and under the shroud of a large amount of smoke, the entire Stone Village was filled with smoke.When the locusts landed on the ground, some people couldn't bear it and rushed out directly, planning to come back after the burning.

The fire lasted until night, as Lin Anyu said before, this time the locusts were not only found in their stone village, even the surrounding area was covered with dense locusts.

When the village was about to be smoked clean, the surrounding locusts crowded in again. The fire burned for two days and two nights, and when the sky was finally no longer blocked, the locusts in sight had disappeared.

I don't know whether they left here in the end, or were fainted by the smoke, and left their lives in Stone Village.

After that, it was time to clean up the mess. Even though they kept collecting the locusts on the ground, there was still a thick layer of insect corpses on the ground.It can be said that the locusts collected by almost every family in Shitou Village can fill up their houses.

As a last resort, almost everyone started digging cellars or building sheds. Although more work was required, no one was unwilling.Although these locusts are not tasty, they can be preserved after drying and eaten when needed.

As for throwing away, it is impossible to throw away. They are stupid to throw away the rations because they have to do more.Don't treat worms as meat, cook a little every day, so that your family will be full, and you can also add some nutrition.

Although it was only two days, the plants in the village were still pitted, and most of them were gone.

Most of the losses in the village were grown vegetables, which were completely ruined, and most of the staple food was sweet potatoes.

Sweet potatoes grow underground, and it seems that they will not be harmed, but sweet potatoes grow on the ground.Without the support of vines, sweet potatoes will no longer grow.

Fortunately, it was already August, and the sweet potatoes could have grown for a few more days, so it was not a disadvantage to dig them up now.After dealing with the remaining locusts, the village began to collect the grain in the soil.

The locusts in other people's homes can be filled with a few rooms, but it is impossible here in Lin Anyu.The one hundred people under Chu Kui were not fake, and they were the first to implement this method. One can imagine how many there are.

Looking at the pile of locusts that could bury them in front of him, Lin Anyu expressed that he was powerless and could only hope that Chu Kui could take them with him when he left.

After all, there was a shortage of food at this time, so Chu Kui agreed after a moment of stupefaction, and stayed for two more days to scald and dry the locusts before leaving.Only then will they be able to take half of it away, and prepare to bring the rest when they come next time.

Tang Shengsheng reluctantly wanted to take Lin Anyu away, and even Chu Kui asked him many times to go with him. With his ability, he would definitely lead the army soon.

Lin Anyu sent Tang Shengsheng and Chu Kui away, Mu Shao and Song Qun as well, and asked them to take away the horses at home by the way.They don't need it now, lest the Zhu family come to recognize it.

Lin Anyu bought a lot of seasonings before the natural disaster, but who knew that this time it would directly cause chaos, so that no one in the county has come out to open a shop and set up a stall.

And now there is not enough salt at home, and the village uses it very frugally, and there is no surplus at all.According to what Chu Kui said, they don't have much else there, but salt is the most indispensable.

This time Mu Shao and Song Qun went back with them to bring back more salt.There is still brown sugar at home, I don't use much at home, and there are still three jars full of Rengao.

Lin Anyu was going to let them take away the two jars of brown sugar at home to exchange for salt. Some people still lack sugar, so no matter how they took it, they could exchange it for the same amount of salt.

And Chu Kui will come back again, he doesn't have to worry about the safety of the two of them, it can be said to be very convenient.

A crisis that would have hurt the people's muscles and bones disappeared without a trace, there was no hurdle that could not be overcome, and life gradually returned to calm.

The family suddenly lost three people, and it felt a lot deserted all of a sudden. Even Lin Zhengluan would sometimes look around and find no one.

An eight-month-old child can at best call "Aba", and it is vague and unclear. The word "Daddy" is still too difficult for him, and he still hasn't been able to say it out loud.

……

After this locust plague, the people in Shitou Village had a great affection for Lin Anyu's family. Before Lin Anyu had time to hire someone to do the work, the sweet potatoes in his family's field were dug up by a group of spontaneously organized people.Including the two acres of land in the yard, it only took half a day to sort out everything.

Not only that, but they also helped to turn the soil over. It is only August, and some vegetables can still be harvested before winter.Lin Anyu accepted their kindness with a smile, and after they left, the family gave half a catty of meat to express their gratitude.

Lin Anyu also got ready to make wine from sweet potatoes as promised to Lin Dajiang.There are not many other things in the house now, but this sweet potato almost fills up an empty cellar.

He took out half of the sweet potatoes and used them to make wine. Without two helpers, Lin Anyu also suddenly felt uncomfortable. He shook his head, expelled these thoughts, and put the washed sweet potatoes into the pot to start steaming.

As for Mu Shao and Song Qun, when Lin Anyu let them out this time, he also meant to let them join the army.They have also learned a lot from Lin Anyu in the past two years, and their force is more than a little bit stronger than when they first met.

And they are more suitable for the current era. Lin Anyu doesn't think that he is used to fighting alone, and he will adapt quickly when he is in the barracks.

As for Mu Shao's thoughts, it depends on whether they want to stay after going out this time.
