Chapter 163: One hundred pounds per person

Su Qin chuckled, "It's nothing, I'm just talking."

Shui Zheran glanced at his wife. She knew what she was thinking. There was an automatic noodle machine in the space. When you put in water and flour, noodles would come out automatically.

In fact, making noodles is also very good, and it is convenient to eat. If you put some salt, dried shrimps and mushroom powder in the noodles, it will be delicious when boiled directly in water.

After thinking about it, this is very suitable for military rations, but in this situation, who do you support? He shook his head, forget it, just keep your eyes open and be a common man.

The three of them started to stare at each other. Shui Ling couldn't bear it anymore and said, "I'm going to sleep."

The family dispersed, Shui Sheng looked left and right, somewhat confused about how this family got along.

However, he could feel the deep relationship between this family and it was very relaxing.

One night passed, and the next day Shuiling got up and noticed some changes outside. She climbed up to the rooftop and saw that the bushes had become thinner and the cassava leaves were also a little scattered.

Looking at the other side, all the wheat straw and other things in the field yesterday were gone, and the ground seemed to have been gnawed away, revealing the black soil.

Could it be that locusts have come? After she went to wash up, she went to the place where the inducer had been sprinkled yesterday. The ground was covered with thick locust corpses, and it was so soft and creepy to step on.

By the way, isn't there a feed machine? Locusts are high in protein and can be used as feed.

She immediately collected the locust carcasses. The pesticides would decompose in three days. Even if they were not decomposed and eaten by birds, there would be no impact.

After collecting the locust corpses, Shuiling returned to the bushes at home. There were also large areas of locusts here. Shuiling used a broom and dustpan to clean them up.

After Shuiling finished cleaning up, she was thinking about the village, so she went to the village to take a look. The expressions on the faces of the villagers were very strange.

There is the joy of surviving the disaster but also the deep sadness.

Shui Zheran ran to Shui Zheran, pulled his sleeve and asked, "Dad, what's wrong?"

Shui Zheran said: "The higher-ups have issued an order again, asking everyone to hand over ten kilograms of grain, whether it is wild vegetables or shriveled millet."

"Ah? Those soldiers haven't left yet?" Shui Ling pouted.

Shui Zheran nodded, "The surrounding areas have been plagued by locusts, and they can only plunder the people."

"Then... what should we do?" Shui Ling felt that this time he would not be as gentle as before when asking for food, and he would dig deep into the ground to search for it.

Shui Zheran said: "What else can we do? Let's hide all the food first. Now we can still dig wild vegetables and find some bark to eat."

"..." Shui Ling couldn't imagine what it would be like to eat tree bark.

Shui Dongliu looked at Shui Zheran, "You will lead people to dig mountains, and I will lead people to collect wild vegetables. No matter whether they are old or young, as long as they are edible, I will dig them back."

Shui Ling asked: "Why don't they try to catch fish?"

Shui Dongliu frowned and said, "No, we will become their tools for catching fish. We will have to work even if we don't have enough to eat. Who would be happy?"

Shuiling touched her nose, yes, no one was happy.

Shui Zheran shouted, "Strong laborers, come with me. You must hurry up and don't delay."

Other people in the village also carried baskets on their backs and started digging around, including wild vegetables and mushrooms.

Shui Ling pursed her lips and decided to go home and squint.

When she got home, she told Su Qin the whole story.

Su Qin put on coarse clothes and went to the village to dig wild vegetables with others.

Shui Ling, "..." Isn't it bad not to go by yourself?

Just as he was thinking about it, Si Shanguan's voice came, "Girl, is there an insect infestation at your place too?"

Shui Ling quickly entered the space, sat on the sofa and said, "Yes, but our village is fine, other villages don't know."

"Well, I know, I couldn't tell you earlier." Si Shanguan said with some regret.

Shui Ling asked curiously: "Aren't you going to look for treasures?"

"Gone, who knew that the flying magic weapon entered the time and space rift, and I don't know where it went." Si Shanguan replied depressedly.

Shuiling thought about it and asked, "What are you looking for?"

"What I'm looking for is the glass piece on the spaceship. It turns out that the glass piece can upgrade my flying magic weapon."

Shui Ling chuckled, "That's a coincidence. I found a sunken ship a while ago and removed a few pieces of glass. However, after removing the glass, the spacecraft turned into ashes."

"Eh? Show me." Si Shanguan said.

Shui Ling took out a piece of glass and knocked it with his hand. It sounded like metal, not glass.

Si Shanguan sighed and said: "Girl, you are really a koi. This is the glass piece I am looking for. How many pieces do you have?"

Shui Ling said: "Nine pieces."

"Well, leave it alone for now." Si Shanguan actually didn't go over immediately.

Shui Ling asked in surprise: "Why don't you want it?"

"You want it, but you can't ask for it in vain. I have to find something that suits you." People who cultivate immortality pay attention to cause and effect. If he wants too many things without giving back, it will have an impact on his practice.

Shui Ling laughed and said, "You can use it first. I originally wanted to use it to build a greenhouse, but I can't use it now."

"When will this troubled times end? People can't even protect their own homes."

Officer Si Shan sighed, "Yes, otherwise why would I ask you to come... Ahem, cough, cough, give it to me first, and I will give you something later."

Shui Ling nodded and took out the glass and gave it to him.

Si Shanguan said: "I'll go upgrade first and I'll see you when I have time."

"Okay!" Shui Ling nodded.

After Si Shanguan left, Shui Ling suddenly remembered that something was wrong. He said that the world was in chaos. What did he say? Otherwise, why would he let you come?

Could it be that the people in these nine worlds are not lucky, but they just happen to be needed by the good officials, and the people in the nine worlds all have missions.

She immediately contacted people in other worlds and asked Si Shanguan in a subtle way if he had given any orders.

But they didn't know that they could only suppress the matter first and wait for Si Shanguan to finish his work before asking for an explanation.

She looked around at the plants in the space. They were not as good as those growing in the soil outside, but they were still in top quality when taken outside.

Shui Ling left the space and it was getting dark outside, but neither her mother nor the others came back, so she walked towards the village.

When we arrived at the village, all the villagers looked angry, and some even wanted to beat someone.

Shui Ling ran to Su Qin's side. She was carrying a basket with half a load of wild vegetables in it.

"Mom, what happened again?"

When Su Qin saw her, he lowered his voice and said, "The government actually wants us people with white household registration to build the city wall."

"What? We are not slaves, how can we do this!" Shui Ling said angrily.

Su Qin nodded, "If you don't go, you have to pay a hundred catties of food, as long as it's edible."
