Chapter 7: Misfortunes never come singly



The next day, the kitchen continued to cook.

Su Mu sorted out his books and prepared to put them on the mountain.

When he went to town, he found that there were more beggars.

Moreover, the prices of medicinal materials and food in pharmacies have increased, but not much.

But the purchase price of grain has risen sharply.

It’s just that the weather has been bad recently and there has been no rain, so only a few people are selling grain.

Su Mu is very worried that the future may not just be about having refugees.

If it doesn't rain in Taohua Village, it is very likely that people will have to flee from famine.

Life is tough and life is not easy for the people.

Today, Su Nanxing followed Xiao Zhuzi up the mountain to collect firewood.

However, Su Nanxing wanted to go into the mountains this time. He wanted to get some wild game and go to the back mountain of the space.

After sending Xiao Zhuzi away, Su Nanxing walked into the mountains.

For safety, Su Nanxing took out a large iron pot and put it in front of him. He also held a sickle in his hand, both for attack and defense.

As the grass and trees grew more lush, Su Nanxing saw more animals.

However, these animals were very agile and Su Nanxing couldn't catch them at all.

But it doesn’t matter, Su Nanxing has a space plug-in.

After finding a pool where many animals were obviously drinking water, Su Nanxing entered the space.

Then he concentrated on observing the outside, waiting for the prey to come.

Soon, the first animal appeared.

There were two deer, one big and one small.

Su Nanxing found the right time, created space, and then held a deer in each hand.

The next second, the two deer changed places.

There was also a pond in the back mountain, and Su Nanxing sent them there.

So the two deer just tilted their heads and continued drinking water.

The next step is to continue to wait and see, hoping that the next prey will be a wild boar.

Many animals come to this pond to drink water.

Su Nanxing caught rabbits, pheasants, sheep and wolves one after another.

Although there are no wild boars, there are enough of this kind.

Finally, when Su Nanxing decided to catch one more animal and retreat, the wild boar finally appeared!

There were three wild boars coming, and they looked like a family of three.

Su Nanxing planned to catch the two big ones first, and the small ones would be easy to catch.

Two wild boars were drinking water when a man suddenly appeared behind them.

Then, the two wild boars found that they seemed to have moved to another place and their cub was missing.

Just when he was about to get angry, the brat appeared out of nowhere.

The two wild boars were confused and could only continue drinking water.

Su Nanxing returned with a full load, but when he was catching the little wild boar, he was bumped by it and almost fell down.

The little wild boar doesn't look big, but it's quite strong.

But unfortunately, it lost when it met Su Nanxing.

On the way down the mountain, Su Nanxing found some firewood and carried it with him.

Then he went to meet up with Xiao Zhuzi, who had already picked up a lot of firewood and piled it aside.

After seeing Su Nanxing, he shouted happily that he had not been lazy and had been collecting firewood.

Su Nanxing rewarded the other party with a candy, then put all the firewood into the backpack and prepared to deliver it home.

"Little Bamboo, stop picking it up and come home with me."

Little Bamboo came over holding two branches and said, "I'll just pick up branches here and not run around."

Su Nanxing was worried about Xiao Zhuzi being here alone. After thinking for a moment, she said, "But I'm not very familiar with the roads in the village. What should I do?"

Xiao Zhuzi immediately said: "It's okay, I'll take you away, just follow me!"

"Okay, I'll go with you." Su Nanxing touched Xiao Zhuzi's head and thought, human cubs are so cute.

Xiao Zhuzi shook his head and said, "Come on, catch up!" Then he took the lead and walked away. He also asked Brother Nanxing to follow closely and not to fall behind.

After the two of them got home and put the firewood into the woodshed, they started to make a commotion outside.

Many people were shouting, but Su Nanxing couldn't hear clearly what they were saying.

He walked to the door to see what was going on, but saw that the sky in the distance was dark.

Grandma Su and Aunt Qiuju also came out from the kitchen. Su Nanxing pointed at the sky and asked, "Is it going to rain?"

Could it be because it is going to rain and the villagers are so happy that they are so noisy?

"Oh no, it's locusts!!"

Grandma Su’s words made everyone’s expression change.

"Hurry! Go into the house and lock the doors and windows!" Grandma Su shouted.

Su Nanxing immediately picked up Xiao Zhuzi and rushed to the main room, then began to close the doors and lock the windows.

Grandma Su was closing the kitchen doors and windows, while Aunt Qiuju took a basket of flowers and went to the vegetable garden in the backyard.

If the crops in the fields cannot be saved, then any vegetables that can be saved will be saved.

At this time, Su Mu also ran back and quickly helped to lock the door and windows.

There are two layers of windows in my house, one is made of wooden boards on the outside, and the other is breathable on the inside, made of cloth.

In the past, we only had to close the ventilation windows, but in today's situation, it is obvious that we have to close the wooden windows outside.

After Su Mu closed the doors and windows, he returned to the main room.

Su Nanxing was holding Xiao Zhuzi and comforting him.

The buzzing sound of locusts is gradually getting louder.

Su Nanxing asked, "Where is Grandpa?"

Su Mu said, "Grandpa went to the fields to check on the crops. He should be back soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, Grandpa Su came back with a carrying pole.

At this time, the locusts also arrived!

The sky suddenly became dark!

Grandma Su ran into the main room with Aunt Qiuju, "Old man, come in quickly!"

Grandpa Su sighed, then hurried in and closed the door.

The family is left only in the mountains of the town.

But there is no need to worry about the other party, because the blacksmith shop is very safe.
