Chapter 67 Locusts are coming

Datou's wife carried the bottomless flour bag and asked Zhao Datou: "We only have this little wheat flour left, shall we fry it into oil tea?"

Even if this little amount of noodles is fried into oil tea, it is not enough for one person to make a bowl. Zhao Datou looked at other bags containing grains and said, "We usually eat mixed noodles. You can mix in some bean flour and sorghum noodles and fry some mixed noodles with oil tea."

How can a bunch of brats eat so carefully?"

The big-headed daughter-in-law agreed and went to the makeshift stove she had set up to cook some food.

Gu was faster than others and was already frying the oil tea with a spatula. She had a sudden idea and grabbed two handfuls of barley and threw it into the pot. The barley was dehumidified. The oil tea fried in this way would definitely be delicious and have therapeutic effects.

.

As a result, other people's first trial of frying camellia was successful, but hers was the only one that used barley and camellia that had therapeutic effects on teeth. It turned out that Gu didn't grind the barley and threw it into the camellia.

Mrs. Wang had no choice but to make a sad face and deal with it quietly where she was carrying the person. She didn't bring a basket with her on the way to escape, so she could only pick out the barley grains one by one with her hands.

Suxue and Si Sheng found an opening and entered the space. This was the first time they entered after the punitive closure of the space. Everything in the space was still the same as before. The two ate in a hurry. They had just arrived five minutes ago.

It was really ejected from the space.

The time spent in space is shortened from ten minutes to five minutes, which is also part of the punishment.

After coming out of the space, the two of them sat on the big stone at the entrance of the cave to rest. The view here was very good, and the scenery around the entrance of the cave was unobstructed. Suxue leaned on Si Sheng to bask in the sun, lazily watching the people coming and going.

people.

Cuixiang had already come down from the tree and was smashing walnuts at the entrance of the cave with a group of children. Every finger was stained black and blue, and Suxue showed a gloating smile. The color of the walnut skin could not be washed off for a while, and they were very worried.

I had to show my fingers black and blue for several days and was disliked by others.

After making the oil tea, the women who were eating put out the fire, finished their work, and returned to the cave one after another.

The men had just finished eating and were chatting inside and outside the cave. A few squatted at the entrance of the cave, chatting while they chopped the grass they had brought into small pieces and mixed it with bran to make fodder for the animals.

Wang Zeran and the others had already harvested something. They came back with two palm-sized fish and several energetic children. The three boys went to ask Ge Shi for a basin and put water in the basin to raise the fish.

After cooking it for dinner, a few boys sat in the hole and watched the fish.

Wang Zeran came out and sat on the stone at the entrance of the cave. Suxue turned to him and asked: "Is Uncle Suiran still catching fish by the stream? It seems that he hasn't come back even after eating."

"Well, he caught more than us."

Si Sheng also asked casually: "How many has he caught?"

Wang Zeran was about to answer when he suddenly heard a rumble in the distance. Was it thunder?

Several people looked over in shock and saw a group of furry things rolling in the sky opposite the cave, like dark clouds or a flock of birds, moving rapidly towards their part of the sky.

The scene in the video flashed through Suxue's mind and she exclaimed: "It's locusts."

Si Sheng jumped up suddenly and shouted to the crowd outside the cave: "Quick, everyone go back to the cave, go back to the cave quickly."

Wang Zeran didn't know what locusts were, but seeing Si Sheng and Suxue's nervous expressions, he hurriedly turned around to pull the mule tied at the entrance of the cave. This mule was the guarantee that Suxue could travel by car.

The panicked crowd outside the cave immediately started moving when they heard Si Sheng's shouts. Children swarmed into the cave, men hurriedly went to pull the animals, and women also took pots and pans outside the door and poured them into the cave.

Li Chong.

The people in the cave were frightened. Some were in panic and wanted to go out to see what was going on. Some were so frightened that they didn't know what to do. The women screamed at the top of their lungs, and the children were so frightened that they cried.

Si Sheng was directing at the entrance of the cave at the top of his lungs, "Don't go out, lead the animals to the innermost part of the cave, and let the entrance of the cave open."

Just as Suxue was about to go back to the cave, her eyes swept over and saw the casual people beside the stream. She was still standing there just looking up at the sky, as if she couldn't hear Si Sheng's shouts.

Suxue hurriedly snatched the pot from Yang's hand and said, "Third Madam, go into the cave quickly."

Suxue knocked on the pot and said "dang-dang-dang, dang-dang-dang." As long as the six family members understood the meaning of this signal and knew that an emergency had occurred, they would run to the cave where they were camping.

Seeing that she heard the sound of banging a pot, she turned around and walked towards the cave. Suxue picked up the pot again and stood at the entrance of the cave to remind her, "The locusts are coming. Hurry and prepare something to block the entrance of the cave."

Si Sheng looked up and saw that the locust cloud was getting closer and closer. Several locusts were already flying above his head and spinning in front of his eyes. He hurriedly asked Boss Zhao of the security team, "Is there anyone who hasn't returned to the cave?"

Boss Zhao was so anxious that he spanked the cow with the stick in his hand. At this time, the stubborn cow was still stubborn and refused to leave. When he heard Si Sheng's question, he hurriedly replied: "A few of us who are on guard are here, and each family can only do what they want."

Go further and catch fish by the creek, but no, we have already gone back."

Seeing that Si Sheng was walking casually and looking up at the sky, stumbling and stumbling, he took out a hood and put it on his head, and said to Mr. Zhao, "You all go into the cave first, and I'll pull you back."

When Niu Zhixin heard in the cave that the locusts were coming, he broke into a cold sweat. The young man didn't understand. He had heard about what the locust plague meant. When he woke up, Si Sheng had already called everyone into the cave. He was busy

He pushed the cow that Boss Zhao was holding and let him go inside.

Niu Zhixin clapped his hands and shouted, asking the protection team to lead the animals and people to the depths of the cave. The women also became quiet at this time, coaxing their children and pulling the elderly, and ran towards the cave.

The men from other groups gathered around the entrance of the cave, and some people moved stones to bet on the entrance of the cave.

Many locusts had already flown into the cave. The children were so frightened that they started crying again. The men from the protection team chased and beat them all over the cave.

Niu Zhixin said: "No, it's too slow to move the rocks and we can't block it in time. We have to hold up the mat to block it."

Several men picked up the mats on the ground nearby, and two of them blocked the entrance of the cave. This time, the locusts could not fly in, and everyone let out a sigh of relief.

The roar outside the cave became louder and louder. It was the frightening noise made by countless locusts flapping their wings.

There was a "pop" and "pop" sound from the mat blocking the entrance of the cave. It was the sound of locusts flying in a steady stream and hitting the mat. At first, the people in the cave could still distinguish the banging sounds. After a while,

All I could hear was a "rustling" sound.

"No, the locusts have chewed up the mat."

Niu Zhixin took a closer look and saw that there were already dots of holes on the mat. Through the holes, he could see the swaying legs of locusts parked on the mat outside.

"Add another layer of quilt." Niu Zhixin called, and Butcher Zhang and Zhao Laoer brought a quilt and unfolded it so that the man at the entrance of the cave could support himself on the mat.

Niu Zhixin asked without looking back: "Sisheng, this should be enough, right?"
