The casual life of the flat space

Chapter 319: Finally, Mother Cried

Seeing that there was no one around, Bai Tieying used the space to collect all the locusts here. Although they would always leave if they couldn't find food, and they hadn't developed to the point of eating everything they saw, but the originally clean and tidy yard was "covered" by countless locusts, and the uncle and aunt couldn't stand it! And although there were still locusts coming in an endless stream, their desperate momentum was much smaller than at the beginning.

My uncle looked at the locusts with the curtains hanging outside the window and knew that Bai Tieying was back. Bai Tieying asked his uncle if he wanted to go back to the main room? My uncle said he wouldn't bother. As she said, there are everything in the east wing, which is just right here.

Bai Tieying put the food prepared for the new and old three hundred people in the kitchen and storage room, and then went to lock the main room. She was in a hurry and forgot to do so. But after all, many things in Uncle's house were his hard work, and losing them would be more than heartbreaking. Moreover, she took away all the things in the three bedrooms, so if anyone was curious and asked, she could say that they were all put in Uncle's room.

After placing the firewood and food prepared for the children in the yard, she knocked on the doors on both sides and asked the boys and girls to stay separately for now to avoid any gossip in the future. Then she took a few boys and girls and moved the firewood and food to the main hall of the back house and the west wing, so that they would not be afraid to stay for a few more days.

Jingli and the other three had been out before, and were surprised to see the yard become much cleaner. Bai Tieying said that maybe they found there was nothing to eat and flew back to the earth. Anyway, for a winged creature, whatever it said was reasonable.

Baoer handed Bai Tieying five or six locusts covered with a handkerchief, saying that they were given to her by Brother Lingdang just now. Bai Tieying smiled and picked up one to eat, and didn't want the rest. There were few snacks these days, and the little girl kept them, probably because she wanted to eat them slowly.

Bai Tieying reminded the children again that if they could not stay in the house anymore, they should go to the yard in batches to get some fresh air, and if they found too many locusts, they should go back into the house immediately.

Also, the smell of locusts is now several times worse than before. Even birds won't eat them, and children won't eat them if they catch them. Adults are struggling to make ends meet at home, so I hope they can take care of themselves and not cause trouble for adults. When the insect plague is over, Bai Tieying will buy candy for everyone.

When the children heard this, of course they were excited again. The insect plague had come, and the family would have to eat porridge every day. It was hard to guarantee that they would have porridge every day. The candy that Bai Tieying was going to buy was the only sweet thing they would definitely get this year. How could they not be happy?

After everything was arranged, Bai Tieying finally had time to take a look at the mud house. As soon as she pushed the door, a group of locusts exploded. Bai Tieying took two steps back and waited until the locusts flew up to the sky in a show of force before she entered the yard.

After closing the door, Bai Tieying immediately used the space to collect all the locusts in the mud house yard. The well had been sealed with stone slabs before, so Bai Tieying went into the house to take a look. Some came in from the broken windows, door panels, etc., but not many. After collecting the dust in the house, Bai Tieying closed the door and walked towards the vegetable garden.

I planted cabbages and radishes to save trouble. I would come in to check and water them when I remembered. Maybe it was because she used well water, but they were all very hardy and full of vitality even without careful care.

Bai Tieying was thinking that there would be an autumn harvest in a while, but now the field was ravaged by locusts. The cabbage was almost completely destroyed, and the remaining half was pulled out by Bai Tieying, along with the locusts he had collected before, and given to the "strolling chicken" in the space for a snack.

Since the radishes were still half full in the field, Bai Tieying's hard work was not in vain. However, because there was still a final "sprint" left, the radishes grew as thin as Bai Tieying.

……

Bai Tieying drove the carriage forward and secretly used space to stop and take away the locusts near the horse's head. The two foodies finally didn't have to snort constantly.

When walking on the road, you could hear the sound of wooden wheels rubbing against gravel, but now there was a dense "zaza" sound, like the sound of squeezing foam in the decompression video of Bai Tieying Yuanshi. As the startled locusts kept trying to struggle for their lives, the car body was also hit with a "bang" sound.

These two sounds followed Bai Tieying forward, and the sounds of villagers running and shouting could also be heard. The smell of wormwood in the air became stronger and stronger. At first, it made people feel lighter in the chest, but gradually it aggravated Bai Tieying's dizziness.

Through the gaps between the houses, Bai Tieying occasionally glimpsed the situation on the land, feeling both relieved and helpless. The crops that had gradually turned golden were now mottled yellow and black. Wherever the villagers went, a "dark cloud" would rise, and once they left, the "dark cloud" would descend again, eroding the villagers' happiness that was originally within their reach.

The carriage continued to move forward, but Bai Tieying did not have the courage to go on. Suffering does not depend on human will, but will become worse.

"Oh my God... how can I let these damned people cause me so much trouble... Oh my God... I can do anything for you... If you must take a life, take mine!"

A burst of heart-wrenching cries came intermittently from the road. Bai Tieying stopped the carriage and followed the sound. She saw Dong's grandmother kneeling in front of her house, kowtowing to the north.

"Grandma Dong, what happened? Get up quickly, the ground is cold..."

Bai Tieying persuaded her for a long time before Grandma Dong stopped crying. She pushed back the handkerchief Bai Tieying handed to her, wiped her face with the corner of her clothes, and then asked, "Whose daughter are you?"

"I am Bai Tieying, daughter of Bai Tongsheng of the Bai family. Grandma Dong, we have cried about everything. If we continue crying, it will hurt our bodies!"

"Bai Tongsheng? Oh, she's the daughter of Shengzi! Bai Tieying? Why does this name sound so familiar to me? Oh! I'm sorry to have made fun of you, you're so silly. Seeing the village like this, I feel sad!"

"Grandma Dong, can you please tell me what's going on? I'll help if I can."

"Good boy, thank you grandma. You can't help you with this! Go home quickly! God just doesn't want us to live!" After saying this, Grandma Dong started crying again.

"Grandma, is there anyone here? Grandma, I beg you, please come back! Who is that person outside? I am Huazi's wife. I cannot go out during my confinement. Please help me persuade Grandma. She... No, it's all my fault. I am useless! "

Following the last heartbreaking words, a "dong dong dong" sound came from the house, and the sound of a baby crying also rang out. Bai Tieying immediately got up and ran into the house, shouting as she ran: "Sister Hua, I'm Tieying, Bai Tieying, I'm coming in!"
