So Erzhu listened to De's words and drove the carriage forward.
The fields in Xinghua Village are basically all together, with only scattered land around the village.
So when I looked around, I saw people bending over to catch locusts, including adults and children, as well as elderly people.
It can be said that as long as people can move, they don’t want to stay at home. They all come to the field to take the opportunity to earn more money.
I can't make a lot of money, but I can earn a little bit and buy more grains, which is enough for the whole family to eat for a few days.
Seeing that everyone was working hard to catch locusts, Guode and Guoerzhu did not want to disturb them, but they felt heartbroken to think that the twins, such adorable children, had been abducted by human traffickers.
"Everyone stop and listen to me." shouted Xiao De.
The man who was trying to catch locusts heard the screams and accidentally let the locusts go.
"Guide, you'd better have something, or you'll have to compensate me with locusts."
"Me too, mine got scared off too."
"I saw a giant locust and was about to catch it, but your voice scared it away."
…
He didn't expect that just by shouting, he would attract so many people's "attack".
But he was really anxious and didn't mean it, so he told her about the twins being lost in town.
When Gu De finished speaking, the people who were complaining immediately said indignantly, "Let's go, let's see who dares to touch the people in our village. They are tired of living."
"Yes, Miss Mengyue gave us a chance to survive, but we can't let anyone lose their brother."
"Yeah, if the twins of the Xiao family can't be found, will Xiao Mengyue still collect locusts?"
These words struck a chord with everyone; they had finally seen a glimmer of hope and didn't want to be disrupted like this.
Before Gong De asked everyone to help find someone, everyone in the village spontaneously went home to get their weapons.
As they walked, everyone started running, hoping to get to the town quickly to help find the twins.
"Damn human traffickers, why did they kidnap the twins when they could have kidnapped anyone else?"
"That's right, don't you see who the twin sister is?"
"Let's go, let's get to the town quickly and don't let the human traffickers get away."
…
Standing in the fields, Guode and Guoerzhu were still somewhat shocked to see the villagers spontaneously coming to the town to help find the twins.
After all, we are from the same village and everyone knows each other. I have never seen anyone so anxious about other people's family affairs, as if the twins were their own family.
But it’s better this way, as it saves him the trouble of asking the villagers to help find someone in the town.
In fact, what Xiaode didn't know was that the villagers were so active in looking for him because they were worried that Xiao Mengyue would be too sad because her brother was missing and would stop collecting locusts.
Although they also knew that Mengyue collected locusts and made fried locusts to sell in the town.
But no one in the village had the idea of making fried locusts. Not to mention whether it would make money or not, they didn't even know where to get the oil for frying the locusts, so how could they do it?
All they can do is to catch them on the spot, which is simple and cost-free.
As for the manpower spent, it is not worth mentioning.
Because even if they don't catch locusts, they have no time to spare. They have pulled up the grass on the ground countless times and trampled the ground firmly.
Now that I have a job that is easy and profitable, of course I have to cherish it.
In less than a quarter of an hour, all the villagers gathered at the entrance of the village. In addition to the young and middle-aged men, there were young women holding sickles, and even half-grown children, who knew where they got sticks from, holding them in their hands, wanted to follow the villagers into the town.
Then someone shouted, "Go! Save the twins!"
The atmosphere immediately became lively and everyone walked out of the village excitedly.
