Chapter 116 Not even a single leaf was left behind.

"Yes, yes, as soon as these things fly over, let alone crops, not even a single leaf is left behind."

Someone sighed as they spoke, with a tone of voice . Full of helplessness.

The impact of the scene in front of me was too great, and everything that the naked eye could see was bare.

He Chaoci and Chi Ying glanced at each other in unison, with shock in their eyes.

A flash of deep worry flashed in Chi Ying's eyes.

Since ancient times, whenever a locust plague occurs, the local area will be severely affected.

"Why are there so many of these pests all of a sudden? How can we survive? We can't survive this day."

Someone in the crowd shouted loudly, as if he had suddenly lost all his strength.

The man couldn't help but fall to the ground, staring blankly in front of him.

He didn't want to just look at it, but it seemed like he could only look at it like this.

He Chaoci withdrew his gaze, and immediately after scanning the people in front of him one by one, his gaze finally fell on Lou Dajin.

At this moment, Lou Dajin looked very lethargic.

Lou Dajin took a step forward and cupped his hands towards He Zhaoci.

"I didn't expect us to meet again so soon."

A wry smile flashed across his face.

"It's time like this, don't pay attention to those false etiquette." He Chaoci waved his hand towards him, and then walked quickly aside, "When did the locust plague start?" Lou Dajin

quickly answered, " We reported it as soon as it happened. It only lasted one day from the beginning to now, but in just one day, a large amount of food was destroyed."

He Chaoci nodded. Facing the people in front of him, he said loudly: "Everyone, please stop being outside and go back to your homes."

"Aren't you from the emperor's court? If you don't solve the problem, how can we go back?"

Crowd Someone couldn't help but say something.

Shi Yi couldn't help but spoke suddenly, his tone was very unkind, "The prince came all the way here, and this is how you talk to him? We've just arrived now. Even if we solve the problem, doesn't it take some time?"

He said This was said specifically to the person who just spoke.

"Yes, yes, it's been a hard work for the prince to come here, why do you still say that?"

Someone in the crowd began to squeeze the person who just spoke.

The man seemed to feel that he was in the wrong and silently shut up, except for muttering a few words softly.

Under He Chaoci's arrangement, everyone slowly entered the room in an orderly manner.

Suddenly, a person ran out from a corner ahead. After looking around hurriedly, she immediately recognized He Chaoci as the backbone of the group.

She quickly trotted forward, fell to her knees suddenly, and hugged He Chaoci's thighs with both hands. Her cry was trembling, "My lord, please, please save my husband-in-law and the child. They can't hold on any longer." "

When a large number of locusts came, the water here was also polluted to a certain extent, and the already tense water source became even more tense at this time.

He Chaoci lowered his eyes to look at her, raised his feet and followed the man forward.

Seeing this, some people around him hurriedly followed.

The person who came was a woman, already elderly, with some graying at the ends of her hair. She was wearing a pair of coarse linen clothes, which had been washed and turned white.

The whole person looks skinny.

After just one glance at this man, He Chaoci couldn't help but knit his eyebrows tightly together.

Food is always a big issue.

He Chaoci turned sideways and asked Lou Dajin: "Before I left last time, all the good grain seeds left behind should have grown. Haven't they been distributed to everyone?"

When he mentioned this, the helplessness on Lou Dajin's face became even more intense. Obviously, "Those grain seeds are indeed good, and the fruits are big and round, but there are not many in everyone's hands."

He paused, and then said: "Besides, the land here is dry, and there is no water. , In fact, it’s not just the location of Hancheng, it hasn’t rained here for a long time, and a lot of land is dry.”

“During this period, we still rely on the strength of other states, counties and everyone. I have been able to persevere until now by planting those grains together, but if I continue, I am afraid it will not be that easy." After saying this, Lou Dajin couldn't help but sigh heavily.

He Chaoci paused slightly and couldn't help but lower his eyes and glanced at him. He believed that what the other party said was indeed the truth.

In the final analysis, there is still not enough grain, and there are also reasons for the location.

If he doesn't have enough grain, he can buy it.

But this position is due to natural reasons, which are not easy to change.

He silently withdrew his gaze and raised his right hand slightly, "Let's not talk about this matter for now. The most important thing now is to solve the problem of locusts in front of us and everyone's food rations."

He then ordered Shi Yi beside him . He said, "Send someone to pass on the order, or mobilize some food from the surrounding counties and counties, and send some more manpower at the same time."

Chi Ying followed along and looked around. It seems that the conditions here are better than Hancheng. Up some.

But she didn't know why, but she always felt that something was wrong with the way these people looked at them.

It's like... looking at some enemy.

At the same time, she also felt something strange invisibly.

She pursed her lips and looked forward silently. While she was thinking, the group of people had been taken somewhere by the woman.

In order to make rational use of manpower, He Chaoci asked Xu Qingshan to bring some people to eliminate the locusts.

It will be faster to move separately.

Every second they delay now, a large amount of food will be eaten up by locusts in a certain place.

In front of him, what caught his eye was a little boy about seven or eight years old, with a middle-aged man lying next to him.

The middle-aged man was so exhausted that he couldn't even focus his eyes.

Before He Chaoci could speak, the woman on the side couldn't help but said in annoyance, "The child and the child's father are looking for something to eat. The child's father saw a large number of locusts and thought they were edible, so I just ate a few, and I didn't expect it to turn out like this."

She trotted forward and reached out to hold the man's arm, her eyes filled with tears. "You see, his limbs are stiff for some reason, and it seems that he is stiff. The child's father said, he is still dizzy, what should I do?"

The person on the side couldn't help but comfort the woman, "Don't cry now, now is the time to solve the problem. First, tell the prince how they ate it. "

The woman immediately replied, "Just grab a few and eat them."
