225 Devil's Arrival

Zhao Zhitong thought for a while and asked, "Grandpa Bai, is there any candy?"

Grandpa Bai started selling like a salesman: "Yes, of course, there are many, all kinds, all kinds of flavors, everything you expect."

After the voice fell, the next second, the window in front of Zhao Zhitong disappeared, replaced by a page with various candies on it.

And under each candy, the available merit points required for redemption are also marked.

After looking at it for a while, Zhao Zhitong said with disgust: "Candy is so cheap, you can buy a pack of candy with a little merit, it must not taste good."

Grandpa Bai: "..." This little girl.

Zhao Zhitong directly chose to close the page. She still has a lot of candy in her space, and she doesn't need it yet.

Thinking of the previous notebook, Zhao Zhitong immediately said: "Grandpa Bai, Grandpa Bai, I want to read the notebook."

Grandpa Bai said yes, and transferred the pages of the book to Zhao Zhitong.

In an instant, a dazzling array of notebooks appeared on the page of the window, of all kinds, including ordinary sheepskin notebooks and loose-leaf notebooks with cute covers.

Zhao Zhitong's eyes were blurred.

"They all look good." Zhao Zhitong's eyes were shining, and she pointed to a loose-leaf account book with a lavender cover.

After opening, the pages inside are also colored, and there are some simple patterns, which are enough to buy a ledger. It also comes with a few colored pens and some beautiful stickers.

Zhao Zhitong couldn't refuse this kind of good-looking notebook at all. At this time, he jumped up and down the window excitedly, pointed at the notebook, and shouted happily: "I want this, I want this."

Grandpa Bai glanced at the cute book, and said, "This book can be exchanged for twenty merit points."

Zhao Zhitong did not hesitate: "Then I want to exchange!"

Just after the exchange, Zhao Zhitong saw another handbook, which was also very good-looking, so Zhao Zhitong started the mode of buying, buying, and buying.

If Grandpa Bai hadn't stopped her, she would have spent all her movable merit points.

Holding the items he had returned with a full load, Zhao Zhitong sat on the ground, grinning happily for a long time.

Then, among several good-looking books, I found a pink notebook. After opening it, I saw that it was very rich, and there were a lot of good-looking tapes.

So, she lay down in the space and fiddled with herself to make a journal.

It was the first time for the little guy to do it. He posted everything on it, and the last one was full. He was still holding a colored pen and wrote some mood quotes crookedly on it.

After she finished posting, she held the book and admired it narcissistically: "Look carefully, I am so talented."

Looking at the ugly handbook posted by the little girl, Grandpa Bai: "..." He began to consider whether he should correct this girl's aesthetics.

Zhao Zhitong doesn't care if Grandpa Bai says it looks good or not, he's happy doing it himself.

So, this play caused her to stay up late that night, so that she was almost late for school the next day.

Of course, Zhao Zhitong didn’t just buy a notebook for herself, she also bought a bunch of pencils, the kind without erasers.

She prepared it for her brothers and sisters. They don’t use brushes to write, and often they can only draw on the ground. After writing, they will be destroyed when they step on it. So, she exchanged them for pencils for them.

Of course, she also exchanged a stack of white paper, which is very cheap. A few points will give you a large sheet. Cut it into small pieces with scissors, and ask her mother to string them together with a needle and thread. It is a simple book.

After school that day, Sun Mei made everything for her, so she went to grandpa's house with her notebook and pencil in her arms.

Several brothers and sisters have received gifts from her, and they are all very happy, and the atmosphere of learning instantly rises.

—

In the busy days, you will find that time flies really fast.

It’s July, and with the arrival of hot weather, the first batch of pigs that Zhao Dong and his family raised have all grown to the age to be slaughtered. The pigs in each family have grown fat and strong, and they are very big.

Just looking at it is not enough to be festive.

Just when they were very happy, they didn't know that a disaster was quietly approaching.

On this day, when Zhao Zhitong was playing with Qiao Muchen and Zhao Yue on the street, he suddenly saw a villager running back in a hurry, shouting, "It's not good! It's not good!"

His cry was so miserable and shocking that many villagers came out of their homes to see what was going on.

"Hey! Sixth, what are you making such a fuss about? Did you meet a ghost?"

A villager came out of the house and couldn't help but teased.

Lao Liu didn't intend to make fun of them at all, but stared in horror and opened his mouth to say something: "I, I..."

I don't know if it was because of fear, or because of anxiety, the breath stuck in his throat, but he couldn't speak.

"Hey, sixth son, when did you stutter? Could it be a real ghost?"

The sixth child bent over, panting heavily while holding his legs, and after a long time, he finally managed to calm down and cried out in horror: "It's scarier than ghosts! Yes, it's locusts!"

As soon as these two words came out, everyone's expressions changed, and it was really like seeing a ghost.

Someone yelled in horror: "Liu Liu, what nonsense are you talking about? Don't dare to talk nonsense. Our side is fine, there is no flood, no drought, where are there any locusts, that kind of thing."

What the people are most afraid of are locusts. They are very taboo to say these two words.

"That's right, that's right, Sixth, don't talk nonsense, spit and step on it!"

The sixth child looked anxious: "What are you stepping on, it's true! I, I was in the county just now. I heard that Dongdu has already appeared."

"Dongdu is very close to us. If, if locust plagues have already appeared in their place, they will come to us soon!"

These words were thrown into the crowd like a thunderbolt.

Everyone was stunned.

Some people are unwilling to believe: "Really? Could it be that you heard it wrong?"

Lao Liu shook his head: "No, I heard it with my own ears. The man said that the imperial court had sent people to the Eastern Capital to suppress the locusts!"

The arrival of this news made the villagers instantly feel that their sky was about to collapse overnight.

"My God!"

"How should I live this day!"

"Locust God, why did the Locust God come to the world again!"

…

Zhao Zhitong stood in the crowd, listening to the wailing of the villagers around him, he couldn't empathize with it.

After all, she still doesn't know what a plague of locusts is.

So he asked Grandpa Bai in the space: "Grandpa Bai, is the locust plague terrible? Why are the villagers so afraid of him?"

Grandpa Bai sighed and explained: "That's right, girl, the locust plague, he is simply the nightmare of the people!"

"Once a locust plague is triggered, a large number of locusts will gather in groups, from the sky to the ground, mighty and mighty, covering the sky and blocking out the sun. Wherever they pass, there will be no grass."
