Chapter 645: Don’t Look at the Monk’s Face, Look at the Buddha’s Face
When Zhu Mo returned to the mortal world, A Wu was lying on a chair, staring at the sky in a daze.
"Awu, Awu, I have lived up to your expectations. I have finally solved the problem and will be welcoming you and your child home in a grand manner in the future."
"Awu, this is dragon crystal. Father knows that you are a mortal, so he asked me to bring it here."
"It can prolong your life and increase your life span."
He squatted beside Awu and gently touched Awu's abdomen: "You little rascal, you didn't bother your mother, did you? You better be a good boy, otherwise your father will make you suffer in the future!" After saying that, he looked at Awu with a silly smile.
He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that Awu's expression was not very good, and he looked a little pale.
"Awu, are you feeling unwell somewhere?" Zhu Mo's heart tightened.
Awu tilted his head and the corners of his mouth twitched, but the curve was very shallow.
"No, probably because I didn't see you yesterday and the child was a little noisy. Has the problem been solved? Yes, it is indeed a problem..." She frowned slightly and murmured in a low voice.
"Our family of three will never be separated again. Where is Chaochao?" Zhu Mo asked. The inn was very quiet and there was no one in sight.
The maids and servants also looked unhappy, and the atmosphere was somewhat solemn.
"Why is this yard so bare? The road was also very deserted when I came here." Zhu Mo then realized that there was no greenery in the yard, only bare branches.
"There was a locust plague last night, and the people had no harvest. Now we are helping Lianhua City with disaster relief."
"The people are uneasy, the court is in turmoil, and I am afraid that a great disaster will happen in the mortal world."
Zhu Mo frowned and said nothing more. He prepared some snacks for A Wu and quickly left the city.
Sure enough, a large number of refugees gathered outside the city gate.
The high priest personally came forward to appease the people, but the territory of the Kingdom of Brahma was vast and the population was large, so opening the granaries and releasing grain could only solve the problem temporarily.
Shanshan lay in Xie Yuzhou's arms, his little face pale. Yesterday was his first birthday, he could tell with his toes.
It must be the subordinates who did something wrong.
Last night, his strength surged, and he could feel the influx of countless sinister energies.
Shanshan narrowed her eyes slightly, unable to allow her subordinates to be led by Hanchuan again.
“I clearly prayed to the Buddha…” he muttered aggrievedly.
Xie Yuzhou didn't hear what he said clearly, and just replied casually: "Bodhisattva? Didn't your sister trick the Bodhisattva down? How can there be anyone up there?"
Shanshan looked at him in confusion.
Then what was the point of me kneeling and bowing last night?
Am I just bored?
Shanshan avoided looking at his sister, fearing that Lu Chaochao would suddenly attack him.
"Actually... Wo still has some pocket money..." Shanshan met his sister's gaze, and rummaged stiffly from his arms, pulling out a few taels of silver.
He handed it to Lu Chaochao with trembling hands.
Ah Man smiled and said, "It's just right to make the porridge thicker for the refugees. Our young master is really kind."
The porridge distribution lasted until late at night, and everyone returned to the inn exhausted.
Fortunately, the people of Brahma were peaceful and believed in the high priest, so the situation was quickly stabilized.
"I don't know what's happening with Beizhao..." Xie Yuzhou stared in the direction of his hometown in a daze.
Zhuifeng came back from outside, exhausted and dusty, with a heavy look on his face.
"Your Majesty Bei Zhao has the support of the people. He has taken many measures that benefit the country and the people over the years. The people should not riot."
"Minor frictions are unavoidable. With General Rong and your brother and uncle in the court, nothing serious should happen."
"But the granaries are empty and can't hold out for long. Besides, I suspect the locust plague is not the end..."
"That formation was originally designed to target natural disasters in the mortal world. This is just the beginning."
"We have to uproot them completely." Lu Chaochao took a deep breath, closed his eyes slightly, and then opened them again.
"Not only that, this year has been dry, and there is a locust plague. The weather in Dongling is bad, and they used to make a living by robbing neighboring countries. Later, Xuan Jichuan succeeded to the throne and was named King of Dongling. Only then did the situation gradually improve..."
"The locust plague started from Dongling at the beginning. The people had no harvest and repeatedly invaded the border of Beizhao. This is why the second young master hurried back to the military camp. After the locust plague, the people ate tree roots and Guanyin soil, and corpses were everywhere. Some people set their sights on locusts."
Xie Yuzhou's eyes widened: "They eat locusts?"
Zhuifeng nodded: "Ordinary locusts are actually not edible, but these locusts are nourished by the Yin energy of rotten meat. They are extremely poisonous!"
Lu Chaochao picked up a locust from the ground. The locusts were fat and tender, and each one was very large. She pressed it lightly with her fingertips, and dark green juice exploded, with mucus dripping out, which was quite disgusting.
A negative energy suddenly dissipated.
"You can't eat it."
Zhuifeng continued: "Not only can you not eat it, you will lose your mind."
"Several large-scale massacres occurred in Dongling City, all caused by this."
"People who have eaten locusts have lost their minds and have no rationality at all. They are extremely bloodthirsty and murderous. They are like zombies, not afraid of death or pain. They bite anyone they see, and the bites are contagious."
Lu Chaochao pondered for a moment and said, "Send this matter back to Beizhao." The big trouble will come after the locust plague.
"Dong Ling is probably not just eating locusts. They must be in the formation to be greatly affected. That group of people should be in Dong Ling! We can't let them do evil outside!"
She looked at Shanshan.
Shanshan shuddered all over and looked at her white and tender arms, which were covered with goose bumps.
Shanshan paused, pointed at herself slowly and said, "Shanshan, good boy!" and gave herself a thumbs up.
"I'm doing a good deed, I'm doing it." Don't kill me! !
Lu Chaochao asked him to do more good deeds, and Shanshan had no complaints.
Lu Chaochao looked at Mai Feng, who nodded: "There were too many soldiers on horseback during the disaster relief, so Shanshan helped the old lady across the road."
"I have done three good deeds." Mai Feng nodded solemnly. But his eyes were wandering and he didn't dare to look directly at Lu Chaochao because he felt guilty.
Yes, three times.
Help the same old lady back and forth.
Lu Chaochao looked away and immediately asked people to get ready and head to Dongling.
Xuan Jichuan, she suddenly remembered King Dongling who was a hostage in Beizhao.
"Find some alchemists who are good at surveying caves and searching for treasures." Lu Chaochao said to Zhuifeng.
She narrowed her eyes slightly and said: "I have a friend who is a miser. He sealed up a lot of grain, gold and silver in it. Can you lend it to me?" He is as rich as a country!
"If I really can't find it, I'll ask some old friends for help." Anyway, after asking for food for so many years, she is very familiar with this routine.
"You are guilty of the heinous crime of killing someone in the Ninth Heaven, yet you still dare to go up and beg for money?" Xie Yuzhou had a look of horror on his face.
Lu Chaochao smiled so hard that her teeth were showing: "I'm not going, you go!"
Xie Yuzhou immediately jumped up: "I won't go! How can you ask for money? What if you beat me out?! I haven't married yet, and the Xie family can't be cut off."
"They don't dare to hit you. I have a few of their unknown secrets in my hands."
Xie Yuzhou had a blank expression on his face: "Beating me out is already a light punishment, the chances of killing me to silence me are higher, right?"
The only reason you didn't get killed was because of your strong fist.
Lu Chaochao waved his hand and said, "You are a Buddhist, who dares to touch you!"
Don't look at the monk's face, look at the Buddha's face, you will always get the point.
It's not shabby to beg for food.
If you ask for it, you will get used to it.
