So after the woman finished speaking, Nini knelt in front of Li Mengyue.
"Nini pays homage to Zi and kneels down to thank him for saving her life."
Li Mengyue stood in front of Nini without moving. Even though she did save Nini, she could still bear it even though she was now Nini's daughter.
But she didn't let Nini kneel for too long. After Nini kowtowed, she pulled Nini up and said, "Forget it this time. I won't kneel when I see you again."
Gongsun had no objection, and so did Nini. In fact, if they were asked to kneel down every time they saw Li Mengyue, it was not that they could not do it, but with their pride, they would feel a little uncomfortable even if they were servants now.
"Okay, thank you, Koko."
"Where are Gongsun Yu and the others?"
"Kizi, they've gone to collect the bark. They'll probably be back soon."
As soon as Cao Yao was mentioned, she arrived. Li Mengyue had just finished asking Gongsun Yu and others when she heard the door open.
"Dad, the weather here is weird!"
"You discovered it too."
"That's obvious. Although we haven't lived in the north, it shouldn't last that long without rain. Another thing: when we went to the village to collect bark, I saw many people hunting for locusts. I have a bad feeling."
"Your perception is correct. If my guess is correct, there is a high possibility of a locust plague here." After saying this, Gongsun Yu's face looked very bad.
"What?! That's impossible! How could there be a locust plague? Our home was washed away by a flood not long ago. We finally settled down. If we encounter another locust plague, what will we do?"
"I don't know either, but now that we're following the 繏子, it won't be any worse than fleeing the famine!"
"But Dad, meet the kid..."
The young man who was talking to Gongsun Yu was about to say something when he saw Li Mengyue, Gongsun and Nini.
At this time, Gongsun Yu also discovered Li Mengyue and hurriedly saluted.
"Get up, I heard your conversation just now."
Gongsun Yu said worriedly, "My dear, the locust plague was just a random guess."
"No, it's true, you guessed it right."
"hiss!"
Not only Gongsun Yu, but even Gongsun Jing and Gongsun Shi behind Li Mengyue gasped.
They simply couldn't accept this reality. They had to go through countless hardships to get to this Qingshan Town. Some of their tribesmen were washed away by the flood. Among those who survived the flood, many others didn't make it on the road. In the end, only eight of them survived.
They almost couldn't save Nini. If there was another locust plague, they didn't know if they could survive.
Looking at their expressions, Li Mengyue knew what they were worried about.
"Don't worry. Since you're with me, I can keep you safe even if there's a locust plague."
After Li Mengyue finished speaking, the worried expressions on Gongsun Yu, Gongsun Jing and Gongsun Shi's faces did not lessen much. They had just escaped from a natural disaster and had gone through untold hardships to get here, so they were naturally aware of the harm caused by the locust plague.
After all, if a locust plague occurs in Qingshan Town or even Wuning County, the crops will be completely destroyed and everyone will have nothing to eat. Riots will definitely occur, and looting and smashing will be normal.
Even if there were government offices and the county magistrate was a good official who served the people, it would be impossible to stop the majority of people from disregarding morality and humanity just to get food to survive.
As for how they knew, of course it was because they had just experienced it not long ago.
