As for Yang Zhijin's memorial saying that there might be a locust plague in Qingshan Prefecture, he just took Yang Zhijin's words lightly and took them seriously.
Another day, a message was released saying, "A locust plague is coming. Harvest grain quickly."
He didn't think it was true.
Li Mengyue didn't know that the news of the locust plague she released had reached the ears of the prefect.
The prefect also sent people to investigate and prepare to severely punish this person.
Having experienced how good teleportation is, Li Mengyue returned to the village from the county and naturally tried teleportation.
Although teleportation is good, it is really expensive. It seems that we have to find a way to make more money, otherwise we won’t be able to teleport freely in the future.
After putting the money-making business aside, Li Mengyue thought that the eight people from the Gongsun family had not yet come to the village.
Then I thought about the locust plague that was coming, so I decided to wait until the storm was over.
*
Village chief Li has informed the six village chiefs of the locust plague.
They all believed the news and hurried back to the village, asking everyone to harvest as soon as possible.
Village chief Li saw that several old friends left in a hurry without stopping, and he had a deeper understanding of Li Mengyue's influence.
He had lived half his life and never thought that seven villages could pull together and work together to do the same thing.
And this change was undoubtedly brought about by Li Mengyue.
They were secretly glad that their ancestors still cared about them in the afterlife and specially sent a noble person to the village so that everyone could live a life with enough food and warm clothing.
Village chief Li had no idea at this moment that this noble man, Li Mengyue, not only provided everyone with enough food and clothing, but also allowed them to live a rich life that they could not even imagine.
Of the eight villages in Qingshan Town, except for Zhulin Village, the other seven villages all picked up their tools and went to the fields to harvest rice.
Many elderly people have experienced locust plagues. Although so many years have passed, they are still frightened by the passage of locusts.
They will never forget that wherever the overwhelming locusts went, all the green plants were eaten up, leaving behind bare branches and broken leaves, and everyone's desperate and helpless cries.
When there was no locust plague, people didn't have enough food and could still dig up wild vegetables and tree bark to fill their stomachs. But when the locusts moved through, there was no food to be seen anywhere, so countless people starved to death.
Therefore, whether it was the elderly in Xingying Village, Lianying Village, Taoying Village, Shitou Village, Guiying Village, Meiying Village, or Zhoujia Village, they all trembled with fear when they heard the words "locusts are coming."
Without waiting for the village chief to say when to collect the grain, they all hurried home to get their tools and go to the fields to work.
A similar scene occurred in every village. The elderly who usually had poor legs and feet were jogging, fearing that the locusts would come before the rice was harvested.
"Hurry up, go to the fields and collect the food, don't be too late."
"We can't have a locust plague. The economic situation is already bad. How can we survive if a locust plague comes?" Some elderly people were so scared that they knelt on the ground, kowtowed and cried.
"Hey, why are you crying? We got the news in advance, so it's not too late to collect grain now. Instead of crying, you might as well collect more grain."
The old man, who was crying bitterly, couldn't stop crying when he heard this. He jumped up and ran to the ground.
Quite funny, yet heartbreaking.
"I think what the village chief said is right. Look at the sky, it's dark and doesn't look like it's going to rain. I think it's really a locust plague."
Some old people walked towards the ground with sickles in their hands, not forgetting to look up at the sky.
The people walking next to him felt heavy in their hearts when they heard this.
"How could this be false? You didn't hear what the village chief said. This was the news spread by Li Mengyue from Xingxi Village."
"Since that's what Li Mengyue said, then it's correct. Let's hurry up and try to clear the granary before tomorrow morning."
"Yes, yes, hurry up, don't waste time."
"It doesn't matter even if the locusts don't come. We'll just have to work a little harder. We can wait until tomorrow when the locusts are gone and move the grain out. It's not a big deal," said a villager.
Regarding what the villager said, no one believed that locusts would not come.
After all, Li Mengyue said there would be a locust plague, so it was a foregone conclusion. How could they dare to have any hope?
