Doomsday foresight

The scene in the dream came true, Jinxi silently walked home with his grandfather.

"Call Jiang Chen, no matter who answers, he will say that I am going to die, let him come back, if he can't get through, send a text message. Call every other time, I will tell your sixth uncle, the phone should be able to charge." After entering the house, the old man told Jinxi that Jinxi's sixth uncle is now the village chief.

"Well, I know Grandpa, I'll call him right away." Jinxi said and picked up the phone.He dialed the familiar one, okay?Connected but no one answered.After thinking about it for a while, Jin Xi hung up and sent a text message, which naturally didn't say that grandpa was going to die, but said that she was seriously ill.He thought that Jiang Chen would definitely not watch him die, it was to let him see the message and he would come back no matter what happened, in fact, Jin Xi felt that if he could lie to Jiang Chen, he would come back when he saw the message he sent before. The only explanation for not coming back now is that Jiang Chen did not receive the message.

In the African jungle, a group of mercenaries wearing camouflage patterns whose faces cannot be seen clearly are crossing a river full of crocodiles.

"You won't come after you beat me to death." A short man in the middle of the team cursed in a low voice.

"Wrench, will you leave after finishing this time?" The short man suddenly asked the tall man in front, he couldn't see his face clearly, only a pair of black eyes.

"Well. This is the last time." The tall man looked ahead, waiting to pass, thinking of the people in his hometown, the money is enough after this time, and Xiaoxi will graduate in two years.When the time comes for him to start a small business, it doesn't matter whether Xiao Xi stays in the capital or returns to his hometown.Thinking of this, a softness flashed in the man's eyes.

Jinxi sent a text message every day according to what his grandfather said, but unfortunately he never got a response.It's just that this behavior is still persisting.

At the beginning of August, the weather became hotter. The family was eating, and now the second uncle's family is also eating together. At this time, the whole family should be more united and save money together.Huzi stayed here directly, and the four of them went back to sleep every day.Sweet potatoes were planted in the front and back yards of my second aunt's house, and four pigs were raised, and they haven't grown much fat for more than three months.

Breakfast is porridge and steamed buns with Lianghe noodles.One is as big as the palm of two adults, with pickles and scallions dipped in miso, it tastes delicious.Jinxi used to eat a quarter of it, but now she can eat one every day.Although dark and thin, it is much stronger.

As he was eating Jinxi, he felt a flash in front of his eyes, and all the big black spots flew past his eyes, and then he saw the crops in the field disappear.

Jin Xi's face turned pale, and he came back to his senses, dropped the steamed buns and ran outside, shouting "The locusts are coming."

The other people in the room were frightened by Jinxi's actions, but the old man reacted quickly, "Go out and collect the vegetables." After speaking, he also ran out, his legs and feet were as fast as a teenager's.

Second Uncle Ye and others ran out after him, seeing that Jin Xi and the old man were pulling vegetables out of the field without picking vegetables like crazy, at this moment they couldn't say anything.Uncle Ye couldn't say anything when he saw the madness of the two of them, so he pulled them out together.

"Move to the house quickly." The old man ordered, and the second aunt and daughter-in-law moved to the house one by one, and Dabao also came to help.

Jinxi's hands were bleeding from the puncture, and suddenly heard a buzzing sound and looked up, "Master, it's too late, throw it into the sheep pen."

Several people's foreheads were sweaty, and they threw the vegetables into the sheep pen after they were pulled out.

"Hurry up and hide in." Jinxi saw clearly and stretched out his hand to pull Dabao, push it into the sheepfold, and then pulled Grandpa to look up to see Second Aunt coming out of the house, "Close the door and enter the house."

When he entered the sheepfold and pulled down the sun-shading shed above, he heard crackling noises outside, not like locusts but like mice.

Then it sounded like a plane flying low.It hurt my ears a bit.A few people looked out through the gaps in the shed of the sheep pen, and saw locusts flying in the sky that were as big as a child's fist.The wings vibrated rapidly.So many days it was dark.

Several people in the sheepfold gasped, their faces pale.

It lasted five or six minutes before the sound stopped, and Jinxi carefully opened the roof above.I just felt the sun was dazzling, and when I looked back, the original trees were now only branches.Occasionally, one or two large locusts flew in the yard.Jinxi trampled the one in front of him to death, and it was stained with green. This was their hope, but it was eaten by insects.

A few people walked out of the sheepfold dumbly. Maybe they were too nervous just now. The old man's legs were a little weak. Jin Xi and Jin Yang entered the room with their arms. The three women in the room were crying bitterly, with fear and despair in their voices.

At this time, the bushes had no leaves. Looking west, there was still a green paddy field in the morning, but now there was only a bare black field.

"The end of the world is coming." Jin Yang said dumbly with his mouth open.

The young people in the village laughed and said that the end of the world was coming, and watching those disasters was a sign.

At this moment, Jin Yang realized that those words might not be a joke.

The vegetables in the yard that I didn’t have time to pick are all bald, and the parts above the soil are all gone, and the smooth ones seem to have been specially shoveled.

There were cries and howls in the village.

Old Man Ye regained his strength, "Take the picked vegetables to the cellar first. Someone may come later. You know what to say." Old Man Ye looked at the others, and didn't say much when he saw everyone nodding.Paralyzed on the kang, I really couldn't get up.Really old.

Before they rushed to harvest, regardless of the fruit or the leaves, the baskets were dumped on the floor of the house. The tomatoes and eggplants were taken back, the green onions were taken back, part of the cucumbers and beans were taken back, and the shelves were thrown into the sheepfold together. , the leftover cabbages are not as good as these things, and they were not taken back.Generally speaking, it's okay, as soon as Jinxi and Grandpa entered the yard, they rushed to the tomatoes and eggplants.These two things have grown well this year, and the shelves are so high that they come down directly from the roots.

As soon as the second aunt swept the soil from the house, someone came to the gate of the courtyard, "Second Master, go and have a look, my master is dying." The eldest grandson of the fourth brother's family of the old man Ye ran over crying.

"What's going on?" Mr. Ye was startled.

"The locusts came over just now. My grandfather was in the yard and was attacked by the locusts. We can't do it until we bring people to the house. Woohoo—these locusts deserve to be killed."

Grandpa Ye was stunned and almost fainted, Jin Xi hurriedly supported him.

"What is he doing in the yard? His legs and feet are not good." Old Master Ye burst into tears, "The second and second couple will come with me, Jinxi Jinyang, you younger ones will help your grandma clean up at home. It will definitely be messy when there is a charter there to help in the past."

"Master, I'll go with you." Jin Xi worriedly supported the old man.

"No, you're not in good health, and you won't be able to help if you go there. I'll go and have a look first. Look at your grandma, she was also frightened just now." The old man squeezed Jinxi hard as he spoke. , and then behind Jin Ming's back, he played tricks on him.

Jin Xi froze for a moment, her grandmother pulled him from behind.The old man is right, Jinxi rushed out suddenly, as if he knew the locusts were coming, the whole village may have collected some vegetables from their family, but the other families probably didn't take it back at all, this is not normal, but no matter what, Jinxi This kind of abnormality can save his family's life at a critical moment, so they must protect him and prevent the villagers from focusing on him.

"Well, I'll go there when there is a charter over there." Jin Xi followed Grandpa Ye's words.

When grandpa left Jinxi, she didn't understand what the old man meant. Grandma Ye sat on the kang and sighed, "Don't go if your grandpa doesn't let you go. Your second uncle will be involved in the family in the future. Jinyang will protect you outside from now on." Take care of your brother. Protecting him is protecting yourself. And Yingzi, come here.” The grandma called out to the granddaughter-in-law who was standing at the door tightly hugging the child.

Jinyang's daughter-in-law still had a terrified expression on her face. She was young, and she was frightened just now, "Grandma." She cried again as she spoke.

Grandma reached out and wiped her tears, "Okay, Yingzi, let's not cry, it's okay, human beings will always have some disasters in life, as long as we are strong, there will be no hurdles we can't get over. Don't be afraid, there are still us Well, and Jinyang." Although the old lady was also frightened, she was still very strong in front of the juniors.

"Yingzi, grandma knows that you are sensible, just like Jinyang. You have been in our house for five years, and you have added a fat boy to the family. You have spent these years with your mother-in-law without any conflicts. You are number one among the young wives in our village."

Grandma boasted a few words and patted Yingzi's hand, "It's difficult now, our family must be united so that we can get through it. Don't you think so?"

Yingzi nodded, "I understand what you said." Although she didn't go to college, she graduated from high school, and these reasons are clear.

"What does grandma mean by telling you that life may be more difficult in the future, and we have to stand firm. Maybe you can see that your brother is a little bit capable. This is our family's life-saving means. Maybe the tiger will have to rely on him in the future , so Grandma Yingzi has to tell you that no one can tell you about this. You know."

Yingzi glanced at Huzi who was sleeping tightly clutching her clothes in his arms, and nodded, "Don't worry, grandma, I won't say anything."

Grandma Ye felt relieved, and touched Huzi's face, "Don't worry too much, didn't they store food for your in-laws earlier, it will be fine, and besides, if something happens, our family will not worry too much." I don't care."

Yingzi nodded. In fact, she was not too worried. There was an older brother and a younger brother in her family, and the food was not sold at home, so she could get by no matter what.Thinking back on my uncle's behavior today is indeed quite strange, but as grandma said, this matter must be kept secret, and no one can tell. In fact, even if grandma didn't say it, she wouldn't say it. It is really possible to rely on my uncle.

Jinxi knew that the conversation between grandma and sister-in-law was to protect him. He knew that his ability to foresee the future was abnormal. He was eating just now, but suddenly a large area of ​​locusts appeared in front of him, covering the sky and covering the sun, as if he saw it with his own eyes. Trusting his intuition, he ran out to collect the vegetables. In fact, his intuition was right, and what he saw was a few minutes later.

Although this kind of ability is a bit scary, it is very precious at this time, and danger can be avoided by foreseeing it in advance.At least today, because of his foresight, he snatched back some food.It's just that this kind of foreseeing time is too short, from the foresight to the arrival of locusts, it only takes two or three minutes.Jin Xi thought about rubbing the back of her head, or being hit by a flower pot is also a kind of luck.

Jin Xi picked up the phone, turned it on, and called Jiang Chen, but still no one answered, "The house is full of locusts, and the food in the field is gone." ' These days I insist on sending text messages, sometimes I talk about family affairs, and after thinking about it, I write again'I'm fine, I just want to trick you back, come back quickly, I miss you. 'He was still afraid that something would happen if Jiang Chen came back in a hurry.

After the text message was sent, Jin Xi called Zhang Cheng again.

"Jinxi, I didn't get through to your call earlier, are you okay?" Zhang Cheng's urgent voice sounded after the call was connected.

"Well, it's okay, how about you?" Jinxi asked.

"My brother and I are on our way home. You don't know that the road is very chaotic, the highway is blocked and we can only go back by detour."

"Well, come back, did you drive back?"

"My brother's friend's car. He has a good relationship with my brother, so we went home together."

"If you can buy food on the road, let's buy some. We are plagued by locusts here. All food is gone." Jinxi said dully.

"Really? So serious."

"It's just passed by. There's nothing in the news. There's no warning at all. All of them are as big as a child's fist." Jin Xi exhaled.

"I see. Be careful."

"There is still some water to save. Now everywhere is dry. I heard the news that the water in the city is now restricted. Maybe it will stop at some point."

"Okay, I remember. You have to be good too."

After hanging up Zhang Cheng's phone call, he also let go of his thoughts. He had called Zhang Cheng when the rumors started to spread. At that time, Zhang Cheng didn't really believe it, but he still discussed it with his brother. Now that he's back, Apparently he has taken his advice.
