Fields of Gold

Yu Xiaograss looked at the incomplete corn and his eyebrows wrinkled tightly. If the locust plague strikes, all plants will be spared, and the corn will be harvested in more than half a month, and if the locust plague strikes, the loss is incalculable.

Leaving aside the economic losses of their families, the imperial court and the small county kings eagerly await this harvest of maize, cultivate maize in small areas of the capital, and gradually extend the high-yielding crop of maize throughout the country, especially in the north and northwest, all the more so because of the need for this crop, which is still high-yielding without selecting land.

Besides, their homes have been planted with corn for more than a dozen acres. If they get hurt, they will be busy for nothing this season! Yu Xiaoxue estimated that, in the style of the Emperor's benevolent people, they should not let their family give the court the land in vain, and likely recycle their corn as seed at a high price.

The rest of the grass can't guarantee that there's nothing more to planting than her. Those officials in the capital, even though they took her planting heart, after all, it was her first year. How can they be more experienced than her maize planting in her previous life? Besides, the spirit stone water on her hand works better than any fertilizer, and the corn grows big and tastes good. No one else will grow the same corn!

The little county king also said that when the corn is harvested, we should ask for a reward for their family. What the Emperor has given us, let alone glory, will certainly not be undervalued.

Anyway, anyway. If the locusts strike, their homes will be devastated! No, she has to do everything possible to minimize the damage.

“Little Tianshi, do you know when the locust disaster will reach us?” Yu Xiaowei took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

Little Tianshi and her heart are connected, and she perceives the tension and anxiety in her heart, as she solemnly rises: [From the words of the birds, they should be two days away.

Fortunately, locusts have at least two days to respond before they arrive. Doesn't Little Tianshi have the skills to cook plants? From now on, count as much corn as you can get!

When Yuhai picked up a load of water, Yuxiao grass quickly greeted the past and looked around carefully, mysteriously pulling Yuhai aside.

Yuhai saw her daughter's color was very serious. Her eyes revealed anxiety and anxiety. “Grass, what's wrong? What's going on? ”

“Father, do you believe there are warnings in this world?” Yu Xiaograss pretended to look like a piece of cake and asked softly.

Yu Hai remembered that she had traveled through the land two years earlier, and talked to King Yan Luo and a fairy who looked like a god of fortune. Has the little girl met the fairy again?

“Believe it! What's wrong? Did you dream of a fairy?” Yuhai looked nervously at her little daughter. The youngest daughter, Morning Wisdom, some elders in the village have said that she may be a child in heaven, afraid she will not be able to raise much. Because one day, the fairy in heaven will take her away. Is it...

“Dad, when I was watering, I suddenly lost consciousness and fell to the ground. The fairy who taught me how to grow and cook suddenly appeared before me and told me a very important message!” Yu Xiaoxue made it up like it was true, and the expression on her face was sincere with a hint of anxiety.

Yuhai was also upset: “What news? The fairy didn't want to take you away, did she? Grass, you're Dad's best daughter. Don't promise the fairy to go with him! If you go to heaven, Dad and Mom will never see you again! ”

With a few drops of cold sweat in the corner, Dad's brain hole was bigger than hers. Where's the fairy? How could she be brought up to heaven?

[Although this space lacks spiritual power and poor resources to repair fairies, there are still fairies. Last time the owner of the woodwork store was struck by lightning, you thought it was a coincidence? It was a magic stone that approached the thunder bus in the sky, so they were asked to help!] Little Tianshi reminded her of her principled mistakes in her heart.

Yu Xiaograss flipped a white eye at him in his heart: "Is there a fairy that has nothing to do with me? I haven't seen it, and I don't want to see it! ”

After that, I stopped ignoring her repeatedly emphasizing the little heavenly stone with the fairy. Instead, I pacified my father, who was in a hurry to reddish his eyes: "Dad, I don't know why you think that, but the fairy didn't want to take me away. He told me that in two days there will be a century-old locust disaster in our East Mountain Village, so that we can plan ahead. ”

“What?!” Although Yuhai has not experienced locust plagues, she has heard of locust plagues. When he was a kid, he heard the village's 90-year-old senior grandfather talk about the tragic sight of the locust disaster. That's pathetic. Eat with Eko!

Like Yu Xiaograss, Yuhai first thought of his own corn and potatoes, not yet ripe. If the court is delayed, their family will suffer! It is in the name of God that the court forgives them. But Xiaoxian Wang went to the West not far away to get seeds, and put so much effort into it. Almost every day, he came to visit Dongshan Village (to mix rice, okay). To the extent that he valued it, he would certainly be very disappointed and angry. What should we do?

Yu Xiaograss turned his eyes and said: "Dad, don't worry! The fairy gave me a spell that could cook corn and potatoes. But this kind of spell is one-time, and when it's done, it's gone! ”

“What are you waiting for? Hurry up and cook the corn and potatoes, our family will work harder for two days and collect the corn and potatoes first!” Yuhai listened, relieved slightly.

Yu Xiaograss hesitated for a moment, “Dad, should we tell the villagers about the locust disaster? If they ask where the news came from, what do we say? ”

Yu Hai bit his teeth and said: “Forget about this, I'll talk to Uncle Murakami!! You go ahead and cook some acres of corn in the middle. Be careful not to be seen! ”

Yu Xiaograss nodded. "Don't worry, Dad! The corn straw is so tall and so dense, no one can see it coming in! ”

Yu Haimei sent his little daughter into the cornfield, bowed her head for a moment, stomped her feet and ran towards the village chief's house. The little girl said that the locust disaster came two days later. Time is food. Time is life!

When he arrived at the village chief's house, Yuhai gasped and opened the door. The village chief who drank tea in the courtyard looked at Yuhai Haiqi with surprise and looked anxious. He stood up and asked, "What happened?

“Mayor, something's wrong! The locust disaster is coming!!” Yuhai shouted without waiting for her to gasp.

The village chief was again shocked and shocked to ask, “What's going on? Locust plague? The sea, such a joke! ”

Yuhai took a heavy breath and told his story. “I picked water under the western mountains and saw a snow-white elk. I wondered if I could catch it and improve my diet. Someone caught up to the waist of the mountain and met an old man with a white beard. This elk is actually his ride. The old man told me that in two days there will be a disaster around Tang Gu. I asked him again, and he said with great uncertainty that the disaster was the locust plague that had struck for a hundred years. He couldn't bear to see the spirits coated with charcoal, so the elk led me there and told me the news. Mayor, do you think this is going to work? ”

Yu Hai and Yu Xiaograss are really fathers and daughters, they are all good storytellers.

The village chief roamed around the yard anxiously for a few laps. He knows Yuhai's people, he won't joke about such things. If, as the old man with white beard said, the locust catastrophe strikes, they will not expect to reap the spring crop!

Dongshan Village land is poor, mostly sandy land unsuitable for crop growth. But there are a lot of people in the village, and most of them are high-yielding crops like potatoes. Potato harvest, nearly a month away. We can't wait till then. How much can we charge?

The village chief rang the alarm bell, summoned the whole village, and repeated the “encounter” of Yuhai to the villagers. Finally, he said, "As a man of the Yuhai, he will certainly not ignore the whole village with such great things. As for what the old man with the white beard said, I'd rather believe it than not! If that's what he said, we'll go get it now. Although potatoes will lose a lot of production, it's better than all the locusts! Seek your opinions now, take what you want to believe, and leave what you don't believe! If you think about it, after the locust disaster, the grains will be lost, and you will be blind for six months! ”

Yuhai's credibility in the village is now second only to that of the village chief. The vast majority of the villagers in Dongshan Village expressed their conviction and immediately went home to collect potatoes with agricultural tools. The mayor advised you to collect the potatoes and take the potatoes back. You can also use them as food in times of famine.

If there is no land in the house, rush to take away the dishes grown in the garden and put them in the cellar. The house is a grass house and is busy accumulating straw, waiting to be repaired after the locust disaster.

There's something I don't really believe in, and I want to watch. For example, the Zhang family, in her vegetable garden, there are many dishes that have not grown, and now we have a huge loss. If the old man with the white beard who met Yuhai is unreliable, then aren't all these seedlings dead?

The Zhang family was fortunate enough to take away only the ripe vegetables and leave a small half of the vegetable seedlings in the vegetable grounds. Yu Dashan offered to go to town and buy some food for the garrison. In the event of a locust disaster, food prices will surely soar.

The Zhang family felt that the food was easy to lay insects, so they only gave Yu Dashan a hundred kilos of silver money to buy coarse grain.

The lucky ones like the Zhang family, and so many others, are not growing potatoes in the heartland, or the dishes in the vegetable area are small.

Of course, there are also individual misunderstandings, jealous of Yuhai's ability to deal with him, think that he is pure bullshit, never put this matter to heart.
