Chapter 139 Locusts Can't Fly to Liangzhou
That’s true.
So where is Qiao Dangui taking the two of them?
The key point is that the two sisters-in-law are as lazy as maggots. Their injuries have not healed yet. Will they follow her?
The taste of darkness.
"Mrs. Sang, if you have work to do, please remember me. We are not far away. Zhu Fansheng's house is next to the big locust tree in front."
Zhu Fansheng, wasn't that the same person who threatened me back then: "If you can find water, I'll even call you daddy."
Later, he was the first one to call her mother. Wasn’t he a jerk?
Judging from the age of this old woman, she must be his biological mother!
What a good son you raised.
"Okay, okay, if you need anything, come to me."
"Then it's settled!" Zhu Fansheng's mother laughed happily: "Fansheng called you mother, and it was not in vain."
Please don’t talk about this anymore, okay? This old lady is not even angry when her son calls someone else “mom”.
As soon as she got home, Xie Yurou hurried to find the ceramic jar.
Li Yuzhi was very surprised.
She talked for a long time at home, but her third sister-in-law remained silent. How come she was completely transformed after going out?
The spirit is flying.
But Sanning has a solution.
"What smells so good?"
Huo Changan looked at the backpack.
"Fourth brother, can you smell it? I covered it with grass, how can you still smell it?"
Xie Yurou came over, opened the backpack, and took out the flowers inside with a look of joy.
"So beautiful..." Li Yuzhi exclaimed.
Huo Changan's eyes fixed, staring at the big red flower in a trance.
This is how it looks, this is how it tastes.
He had seen it in his dreams, floating in the water.
No, maybe not a dream.
"Third sister-in-law, where did this flower come from?" he asked with a steady heartbeat.
"My fourth brother's wife found it in the mountains." Xie Yurou said indifferently.
Anyway, those who understand will understand.
Li Yuzhi looked at the flower, which was so beautiful that water would come out if the branches were pinched, and smiled slightly.
But what kind of flower is this? Why have I never seen it before?
Where did your brother and sister-in-law come from?
Huo Changan couldn't help but look at the busy Sang Ning.
Where exactly is that place?
Could it be a fairyland?
Sang Ning was busy boiling rosin. After he finished boiling, he found some pieces of oil paper and folded them into a small container.
Pour in one third of rosin, then ask Huo Changan for a fly.
We caught quite a few!
But some of them have broken wings, some have broken antennae, and some have white liquid coming out of their stomachs. Ugh... This guy has such poor skills!
Huo Changan didn't dare to say it. In fact, he couldn't catch it with his bare hands. They were all hit with a paddle.
It’s okay as long as you’re not dead!
There was also a big bee with a flower belly stuck inside.
Sang Ning picked out three good-looking flies and put them one by one into an oil paper box.
"Well, bees are pretty nice, let's make them together." Huo Changan reminded with a light cough.
That big bee is really beautiful.
The fly needs to be adjusted well before it can return to its lifelike appearance, but this big wasp has caught it well, and its antennae, legs, and body hairs are not damaged at all.
Sang Ning planned to add some more things to make it the most beautiful one for herself.
She folded a large box separately and ran out to pick out a small purple flower from the flowers she had picked. It was the flower whose stamens looked like butterfly whiskers that Xie Yurou said. She carefully placed it on the rosin with a bamboo stick.
Then he put the big bee on the pistil.
Well, it's beautiful.
"Let's call this... General Destroying Flowers!" Sang Ning came up with a name.
Huo Changan: "..."
She gave such a beautiful thing such a name.
"Why not, call them Flowers and the General?"
"Not domineering at all, I'll just call myself the Flower-Destroying General."
Sang Ning filled several small boxes with rosin, and the artificial amber was ready.
After cooling, remove it from the box, grind it into shape, and drill the holes.
There is no problem except that the flies do not have green heads.
Perfect!
She covered several boxes with lids to prevent any dirt from falling into them.
Then he instructed Huo Changan: "After an hour, take them out and polish them. Don't make them all the same. You can make them into teardrop, round, or heart shapes. My general wants them to be oval."
It's not your general, it's mine.
Huo Changan smiled slightly, harmless.
"Don't worry, go and get some rest."
Sang Ning nodded with satisfaction.
She didn't rush back to the house to rest, but limped over to find Old Man Liu.
"Uncle Liu, you are older and more experienced. Have you ever encountered a locust plague before?"
"Locust plague?" Old Man Liu's face suddenly changed.
"Of course I have, but I simply... I dare not recall it."
It was pitch black, the sky and the ground seemed covered with a layer of black cloth.
Whether it is crops or weeds, after the locusts fly over, nothing is left but bare stalks.
That year, several counties suffered from the disaster. Old Man Liu was only ten years old and fled the famine with his parents and villagers.
When I returned to the village the following year, more than half of the villagers had not returned. Most of those who did not return were women and children. Some had found new families outside, and some had died outside.
His parents managed to come back, but their health was broken and they both passed away within two years.
Old Man Liu wiped away a tear.
Locusts are something that all farmers hate!
"Well, sir, do you think there's a chance of locusts coming to Liangzhou?"
Old Man Liu was horrified. "No way! That thing likes to fly to low places. Liangzhou is high.
Moreover, locust plagues had already begun in various places the year before last, and they had not yet reached Liangzhou."
Sang Ning nodded, said nothing more, and went back to the house.
But Old Man Liu was still terrified. That thing really scarred him for the rest of his life.
He still remembered that at the beginning he and his friends caught a lot of them and roasted them to eat. They ate them for several days. Later, he really couldn't eat anymore, but his friends continued to eat them, and somehow they died!
Not even one person died.
The villagers said that thing was poisonous, so they started eating tree bark. When the bark was gone, they all fled the famine.
"Dad, what are you afraid of? We have no land now. Even if locusts come, it has nothing to do with us!" Liu Dong said indifferently.
After saying that, he was slapped on the head by Old Man Liu.
"You know nothing! Liangzhou is truly in trouble, and you can remain unscathed? Even if you hide grain in a rat hole, someone will dig it out!"
People went crazy at that time!
Even the ruthless County Magistrate Ren couldn't stop it!
"You said that Liangzhou is high, and the locusts will definitely not fly over here." Liu Dong rubbed his head and muttered.
I hope so!
But Madam Sang wouldn't ask this for no reason, so why is he still uneasy?
…
Sang Ning went back to his room and took another nap.
When I woke up, it was already dark.
There were candles lit in the room, and a lingering fragrance.
There are arranged flowers by the window.
The well-arranged layout, rich colors and beautiful appearance make this crude house instantly elegant.
It also makes you feel good.
This is the charm of flower arranging art!
The sounds of children playing and women talking came from outside.
Sang Ning was a little dazed.
A question comes to mind:
Is it better to be alone, free and easy, and follow the wind?
Or is it better to be with family, have fun and enjoy a warm life with the daily necessities of life?
