Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

This time, it was thanks to the dogs that they noticed something was wrong in advance, otherwise the two would not have had time to run back home.

They were bound to be bitten by locusts at that time, so the dogs were not raised in vain, as they saved two lives at the critical moment.

The two men, still in shock, slumped down in their chairs, gasping for breath.

Lu Chuan, who had recovered a little, hugged Xu Han tightly and coaxed her softly, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here!"

Hearing the familiar voice at this moment, Xu Han completely lost control and burst into tears. It was the first time she had seen such a scene in her life. The large area of ​​darkness was really suffocating.

Even Xu Han, who was usually very strong, could no longer hold back after experiencing this scene. If she had run slower, she would have been swallowed by the locusts.

Fortunately, the two of them ran back in time, otherwise they would have been even more frightened.

Xu Han cried for a while, then stopped crying and returned to her previous state.

Lu Chuan felt a little relieved when he saw that Xu Han was not seriously frightened.

"Have all the dogs come back?" Xu Han asked. She counted them again worriedly and felt relieved when she saw that none was missing.

"The dogs are fine. Look, they have caught all the locusts that flew in!" Lu Chuan said softly.

Upon hearing this, Xu Han saw that there were indeed few locusts in the house and chuckled softly. Dogs are really great!

The two people who had recovered began to care about the situation outside, but they couldn't see clearly and could only lie down through the crack in the door and watch secretly.

I saw that it was still pitch black outside, with planes flying around buzzing.

They couldn't open the door now, and didn't know the situation outside, so the two could only wait slowly.

I don't know how much time had passed. It was already completely dark when the noise outside gradually became smaller. But it was already completely dark and I couldn't see what was going on outside. To be on the safe side, they both decided not to open the door and wait until after tonight to talk about it.

They just had a simple meal at noon. After experiencing the locust plague, the two people were already starving, so Xu Han took out a lot of food from the space.

Lu Chuan and Xu Han both took a few symbolic bites and then couldn't eat any more.

I had no choice but to pack up and go to bed...

At the foot of the mountain, people were still busy in the fields before the locust plague came. Some people discovered a small number of locusts and began to urgently harvest their crops.

But more often than not, many families have not noticed the situation. When they see other families harvesting their crops, some who are unaware of the situation start to harvest as well. But there are also many people who do not believe it and still do nothing.

But the locust plague came too quickly, flying over so fast that no one could react.

A farmer was working. When he looked up to take a break, he saw a large black mass not far away moving quickly towards him.

Then he pointed to the sky and asked his father, "Dad, look, what is that?"

The old man looked up and saw what was happening. He immediately shouted, "It's locusts! The locusts are coming. Quickly collect the food and go home."

For a moment, I didn’t know whether I should protect the food or my family.

In the end, he just grabbed everything he could eat and ran home desperately, but locusts flew over on the way, so he had no choice but to throw away the food to save his life.

But as people walked along, they found that these locusts didn't seem to bite people, so they began to overcome their fear and were not as scared as before. They immediately started to snatch food from the locusts' mouths...

Harvest as much as you can; at least you'll have something to eat, which is much better than having everything go to locusts.

Locusts are scary, but after discovering that they don’t bite people, although I’m very scared, at least I won’t die. If all the food is eaten, I will definitely die. I have no choice but to overcome myself.

Xu Han also knew that locusts do not bite people, but the big scene just now really scared Xu Han. Even after she reacted later, she didn't want to open the door.

After all, almost everything that could be harvested had been harvested, and only some sweet potato vines were left that had not been harvested in time. The sweet potatoes were buried in the ground, so there was no need to worry about them being eaten by locusts.

In that case, there is no need to open the door and compete with the locusts for food.

No one slept well that night, whether it was Lu Chuan and Xu Han, the common people living at the foot of the mountain, or everyone from the county magistrate to the children. Everyone had different thoughts in mind.

The next day, Lu Chuan and Xu Han both woke up late, which was rare. When they woke up, they found that the sun had already risen outside.

They didn’t know what the situation was outside. After Lu Chuan and Xu Han woke up, they immediately got up to see what was happening outside.

When I opened the door, I couldn't see any green at first glance, only a few locusts flying in the air.

Unwilling to give up, Xu Han opened the gate again and saw the same scene. All the trees were bare, without any leaves at all.

Lu Chuan also followed him out, and the two of them went to the sweet potato field to check the situation. They saw that there was not even a residue left of the sweet potato vines left yesterday. Fortunately, the sweet potatoes were fine and were still buried well in the ground!

Now there is no green at all in the whole valley, it is all bare and looks particularly desolate.

The two returned to the backyard together, only to see that the original vegetable vines were now bare, with nothing left.

But unexpectedly, she found that the chickens, ducks and geese were well-fed. Xu Han immediately remembered that chickens, ducks and geese were the enemies of locusts. They loved to eat locusts.

But there were too few chickens, ducks and geese in the house, and they could not deal with so many locusts.

I had no choice but to release the chickens, ducks and geese, let them have a buffet first, and kill the remaining locusts! At least I could save some food to feed the chickens, ducks and geese.

After looking around, the two of them had a rough idea in their minds, so they returned to the main room and started to eat breakfast.

"I don't know what the situation is like down the mountain! Now there's a locust plague, and there's no hope for the autumn harvest. I guess the only things left are sweet potatoes and other crops buried in the ground." Xu Han sighed while drinking porridge.

"We could have held on until next year, but it seems difficult given the current situation. I'm sure many families will run out of food after the winter." Lu Chuan also said.

"We can't survive with water but no food, and we can't survive with food but no water. It's so difficult!" Xu Han said weakly.

"There's no way. This is not something we can solve. The most urgent thing right now is for us to quickly fix the bamboo thorns outside. There are no green plants in the mountains now, and there must be many animals that have nothing to eat. We will become more and more dangerous." Lu Chuan changed the subject.

"Yes, yes, we have to get rid of the bamboo thorns quickly." Xu Han immediately perked up. This is the most important thing now.

No matter when, personal safety always comes first. Everything else is useless. Only by being alive can you have many things later.
