Chapter 919

At dawn, there are many people in the fields and mountains. They are looking for something to eat. After three months of drought, they can only dig some bark and grass roots to eat. The fresh ones have been gone for a long time. What we can find now are some old bark and roots. They are bitter and astringent, and can't swallow them. But no matter how bad it is, it's better than having an empty stomach.

Er Mazi was lucky today and found yam in the mountain. Of course, er Mazi didn't know yam, but now he was lucky to be able to dig something. When you go home, throw it into the pot and cook it. As for whether it's poisonous or not, you can't care about it. Although they only dug five, er Mazi was very happy. At least today, they don't have to be hungry any more.

Nowadays, in this world, there are many people who kill and set fire for the sake of stuttering. Er Mazi didn't dare to show it. Instead, he put it in his arms and continued to dig grass roots.

At this time, there was a thunder in the distance. Ah Huai, who followed Er Mazi, cried happily, "brother, it's thunder. It's going to rain."

When Er Mazi looked at the place where he made the sound, he saw a dark place in the distance. While Er Mazi was still thinking about what it was, suddenly a man sitting on the ground in the distance cried out, "locusts are coming, locusts are coming..." while the man was shouting, he got up from the ground and ran down the mountain.

Er Mazi and a Huai immediately got up and ran down the mountain. It was dark before we ran to the foot of the mountain. When Er Mazi looked up, swarms of locusts covered the sun. Soon, er Mazi was among thousands of locusts.

I don't know who put down a cruel sentence: "Mom, today I'll catch you and eat enough." Locusts are also meat. Although they are small, they can't hold a large amount of food and can fill up.

Good and weak people have died long ago, and no one who can live to the present is soft hearted. When Er Mazi heard this, he thought it was very reasonable and immediately began to kill locusts. They took a cloth bag with a Huai's jacket. Anyway, there are a lot of them. A set is dozens of them.

Er Mazi didn't know how long he had been with a Huai, but he was so tired that he gasped on the ground. When they got a full bag, the locusts flew away.

Looking at the more desolate fields and forests in front of him, er Mazi felt desolate.

Ah Huai sat on the ground and cried, "brother, how can we live? How is this going to work? " Although the bark and grass roots are old, they can chew to satisfy their hunger. But now, there is no bark.

Er Mazi was also decadent for a while, but he soon picked himself up. He is not alone now. He has a son to support. If he falls down, his son will surely die: "we can always find a way to live. Let's go back!"

When they got home, they looked at the damaged gate and their faces changed greatly. As soon as I entered the room, I saw blood everywhere in the main hall.

A Huai cried out: "second brother, xiaodouzi..." he called twice, but no one responded.

Er Mazi's heart sank to the bottom, but he still held the last glimmer of hope and said: "a Dou, a Dou, where are you? Dad's back. Come out

At this time, a weak voice sounded: "Dad, I'm here."

Two pockmarked son looking for sound, only to find his son hiding under the stove. It's also because the beans are small and thin that they can be stuffed in. Otherwise, no one will be seen.

A Huai took xiaodouzi by the arm and asked, "xiaodouzi, where's your second uncle? Where's your second uncle? "

Xiaodouzi shook his head and said, "I don't know. Someone hit the door just now. My second uncle put me in the stove to keep silent. After that, I don't know. "

Ah Huai turns to find someone. Er Mazi grabbed him by the shoulder and said, "don't go." If he guessed well, the second younger brother should have been killed and taken away by those people. If ah Huai went out to find someone now, she would never come back.

A Huai just saw that pool of blood, he also had this guess in his heart, but he still saved a little luck. Now when he heard Er Mazi's words, his last expectation was gone. He sat on the ground with his head in his arms and began to cry.

Er Mazi shook his head and said, "don't cry any more. Make a fire quickly. We'll leave here when we're full." I can't stay here any longer. There's only one way to die.

Er Mazi and a Huai are not real brothers, because they are not willing to eat human flesh, so they form a small Gang. Several people have been together for more than two months. It's false to say that they have no feelings. But people are gone, no matter how sad they are. What's more, the second child has been injured. Even if he was not killed this time, he may not live long under the bad environment of myrrh and no food. Now in this world, er Mazi feels that death is a relief, and living is the real suffering.

Xiaodouzi put his arms around Er Mazi's neck and asked softly, "Dad, where are we going?" The child was fat for nothing before. In the past two months, he has only one bone left. But in this world, it's good to be alive.

Er Mazi didn't know where to go. He said, "where there is grain, go." Live where there is food.

Ah Huai wiped his tears, lit a little fire and said: "brother, I heard that there are a lot of grain in the northwest, where the grain is only ten Wen a Jin." Ten liang of silver can't buy a jin of grain here. More than ten Wen a jin of grain is like no money to them.

Two pockmarked son in the mind also have this idea, hear a Huai say so, immediately nod a way: "that goes northwest."

Locusts are all made in a string. Er Mazi used to eat in the wild, so he was good at baking. He roasted the locusts golden.

Xiaodouzi smelled the fragrance, and his saliva came out: "Dad, it's so fragrant." For a child who hasn't seen meat for several months, it's very good that he hasn't rushed forward and stuffed the roasted locust in his mouth.

"Er Mazi said:" Dad made a lot, you like to eat more A bag of locusts can feed the three of them all day.

They were eating well when they saw a group of people coming in. Er Mazi immediately grabbed the machete beside him and said to the visitor, "hurry up, or don't blame me for being rude." It is a great advantage to have a good weapon in troubled times.

A group of people came in and looked at Er Mazi. They ate locusts and looked at Er Mazi again. The leader said, "brother, give us half of your worm and we'll go."

"Two pockmarks face expressionless ground says:" want to eat oneself to catch If you want to grab food, you have to see if you have this ability.

Several people looked at the knife with blood and finally retreated. There are plenty of locusts outside. There's no need to fight for it. Although these people are extremely vicious, they also have eyes. They know who can provoke and who can't touch.

A Huai holds a big pillar on top of the damaged door, and then begins to string locusts. They have long been used to such situations. But usually they eat carefully, and they choose cooked food in the evening. This time, I would open fire in the hall because I was eating locusts. As for the yams that Er Mazi found, he was going to keep them for the road.

Not only Henan Province, but also Shanxi and Shandong Province. Where locusts pass, they leave only barren ground and tree trunks.

News back to the northwest, Yuxi whole person is not good. Gansu is OK. There were two light rains before, and a rainstorm a few days ago. Although it lasted only a quarter of an hour, it greatly alleviated the problem of drinking water for the people. But Shaanxi, like Henan, has been dry for three months. Now there are locusts in Henan and other places, where can Shaanxi escape.

Cloud Qing looked at the bloodless Yuxi, gently holding her, said: "not afraid, so many ditch ridge have come, this time we will certainly be able to step past."

Yuxi soon calmed down and said, "you're right. We can't be frightened by a few locusts."

Turning around, Yuxi said to Yunqing, "horui, the plague of locusts is very serious. It may not be able to kill them all by relying on the strength of the government and the people."

For fear of a locust disaster, Yuxi asked an Zike to send more than a dozen officials, such as Han Jianming, to the following prefectures and counties half a month ago to make preparations in advance. They would not be in a hurry when they went down to sit in the town to see a locust disaster, and their efficiency would be greatly improved.

Yunqing heard Yuxi's implication, this is to use the army to kill locusts. Cloud Qing in the heart measured next to say: "the troops that can move are only 80000." Although there are more than 600000 troops now, the situation in the border town is tense and no one can move. What can be mobilized now is the troops guarding the city and the local military strength.

Yuxi nodded and said, "with these people, we should be able to minimize the loss." Optical network has woven nearly 10000 pieces. With these, Yuxi does not believe that these locusts can eat up the whole of Shaanxi.

Cloud Qing said painfully: "let's go back to dinner!" Finish saying this words, cloud Qing can't help but also way: "wait a meeting to eat more, all thin become what kind of?"? The children are worried. " Yuxi's face was round and her figure was round when she was born. Now I'm so thin that I don't have any meat on my face, and my round body has become a hemp pole.

Yuxi touched his face and said, "don't I eat medicated food every day now? It'll be back soon. " This period of time pressure is too big, Yuxi is not good to eat and sleep, so thin fast.

Yun Qing said: "I just heard the news. There was a heavy rain in the West Sea the day before yesterday. It lasted for three quarters of an hour. There is no need to worry about the rain on the other side of Xihai. Yuxi, this drought will soon be over. " The heavy rain in Gansu Province and Xihai has reduced their pressure.

Yuxi nodded and said, "well, it will get better."

Kai Hao saw Yuxi happy to run over, ran too fast, fell a dog gnawed mud. Yuxi hurriedly went to pick him up, looking at Qihao swollen red palm pain unceasingly, busy let licorice to take medicine to wipe.

Qi Hao hugs Yu Xi's neck and says: "Niang, Niang..." Yu Xi and Yun Qing are so busy these days that it's not easy for them to see their parents now.

Yuxi took Qihao into the room and looked at the three sons sleeping on the bamboo mat: "it's a good sleep."

Mother Quan said, "the baby has just finished the milk!" Yuxi was so worried that he didn't even have any milk. Nie nainiang's milk was not enough for her three children, so she had to find another one. If change into usual, all mammy must say jade Xi's. But now the situation is special, the whole mother did not say Yuxi half a word, just to take good care of a few children.
