He tugged at the lock and shook it a few times, but it showed no sign of opening.
Oh no, this has never happened before at home. There's always someone at home.
It seems that this matter is indeed quite serious.
But what exactly is it?
Jiang Xun was at a loss. He turned to look at Jiang Wanwan as usual and asked, "Wanwan, what do we do now?"
After pondering for a while, Jiang Wanwan finally spoke, "Anything that could mobilize the entire village must be related to the crops. So, I guess something must have happened in the fields."
Farmers depend on the weather for their livelihood, valuing their crops more than their own lives. The only thing that can mobilize the entire workforce is something else entirely.
"Something happened in the field? That won't do. In just over a month, the rice will be ripe. We can't let anything happen at this crucial time. No, I have to go check it out." Uncle Jiang staggered off the oxcart and started running towards the paddy field.
Jiang Wanwan quickly grabbed her second uncle, "Second Uncle, wait a minute, I'll go with you."
"Yes, yes, you're coming with me." After meeting Jiang Wanwan's calm gaze, Uncle Jiang's panicked heart calmed down considerably.
Wan Yatou is extremely intelligent; there is nothing that can stump her.
Perhaps she can come up with a solution just by taking a look.
Jiang Wanwan instructed Jiang Xun and Jiang Liu, "You two stay here and watch over the things on the oxcart, lest those greedy people take the opportunity to steal them."
Everyone knows who it is.
Jiang Xun and Jiang Liu nodded quickly, "You go ahead, we will definitely take good care of these things and will not leave them for even a moment."
"Okay." Jiang Wanwan nodded, then jogged away with her second uncle.
Before the two even reached the fields, they heard a commotion coming from the paddy fields, interspersed with mournful cries.
"Waaaaah, what are we going to do? The rice is almost ripe and this has to happen."
"Without rice, how will we survive? We've been tightening our belts all this time, eagerly awaiting the rice harvest so we can exchange it for some coarse flour and wheat bran to live on. Without rice, what will happen to my family of over ten people?"
"Heavens above, have pity on us poor farmers! We've been eating tree bark for days, sob sob, we're just waiting for the rice harvest to make a living. Now, how are we supposed to survive?!"
"Waaaaah, we've been eating tree bark for days, just waiting for the rice harvest. Now there's a locust plague, how are we supposed to survive? If we can't go on, we might as well just die to avoid having to live this miserable life any longer."
"Village chief, what are we going to do about our village? Waaaaah~~"
......
Jiang Wanwan has sharp ears and immediately heard keywords such as locust plague.
She immediately remembered that when she returned from outside a while ago, she had heard several women discussing locusts at the village entrance when she passed by the big locust tree. She never expected that there would be a locust plague now.
When the locust plague passes through, not a single blade of grass grows.
The rice in the fields was almost ready for harvest, but now that a locust plague has occurred, the rice stalks will probably be eaten by the locusts.
It's no wonder the villagers of Dashui Village are so grief-stricken.
Uncle Jiang was terrified, his face turning pale. He exclaimed in horror, "Locust plague? How did a locust plague suddenly occur? If there's a locust plague, the crops in the fields will be lost. What are we going to do?"
