system of princes and generals

Chapter 178

The temperature in Beiguan is slightly colder than that in Chang'an. The weather in September has already brought a hint of autumn, but the crisp autumn air is here. Breathing the air without any pollution and walking on the gravel road beside the river, Huo Guang felt unexpectedly in his heart. There is a comfortable comfort.

It has been a month since I came to Beiguan in a blink of an eye, and I walked into Wancheng while riding on the snow and being welcomed by the people. It seems that it happened just yesterday, and it actually spanned the two seasons of summer and autumn.

Thinking about how there should be a lot of delicious food at this time in his hometown, Huo Guang went through the things he wanted to eat but couldn't eat one by one in his mind. He couldn't help but drool from his mouth and praised in his heart, "It's delicious, it's delicious."

Huo Guang, who was originally caught in the infinite obsession with delicious food, was pulled back to reality by a noisy voice not far away.

Huo Guang withdrew his gaze from the emptiness and landed on the bustling crowd.They seem to be talking about something in the river, and their words are extremely excited.

While listening to them talking and approaching them, Huo Guang probably understood that he seemed to have seen some kind of insect, which seemed to affect the farmer's harvest and was extremely unlucky.The conversation of this group of people successfully attracted Huo Guang's attention. Did he really want to know if there were any insects that the common people feared more than locusts?

With boundless thirst for knowledge and spirit of exploration, Huo Guang quietly walked behind the crowd, poked his head in, and wanted to take a closer look at this horrible and hateful bug that people said.

Before he could see clearly, an old woman beside him sat down on the ground and cried.

"What should I do? This year's harvest is useless again. Damn worms, my rice."

It was only then that Huo Guang heard what they were talking about, and the common people were still in a state of extreme grief and indignation at the sight of the rice worms, and they didn't even notice that the county horse was standing around them.

It was at this time that Huo Guang cast his eyes on the small river again. The moment he saw the worm they were talking about, his eyes froze, his Adam's apple rolled subconsciously, and another form of the worm appeared in the instant. In front of him, it's just that this form is not eating rice but being placed on the dining table.

It turns out that the worm they were talking about turned out to be a river crab.

I have to admire the growth ability of animals at this time. Without any pollution or human interference, the beautiful river crabs have grown to such a big size. Huo Guang conservatively estimated that each one is more than 4 taels. Think about how they were tied up. Looking at the steamed appearance, I kept swallowing saliva.

The old woman was still wailing on the ground, and other farmers around went to comfort her, presumably the field not far from the creek belonged to her.

Huo Guang walked up to the old woman, tried his best to restrain the excitement of seeing the delicious food, and said in an extremely gentle tone, "This is not a worm, it is called a crab."

This sentence obviously did not play a role in comforting the old lady. She didn't care what it was called at all. She only cared about the harvest of the rice she sowed so hard, and whether it would be grainless because of this weird bug. Accept, as for whether this thing is called a crab or a worm, she doesn't want to know at all.

Huo Guang saw that the old woman didn't pay attention to his words at all, and sighed softly, thinking that he was also stupid and should be straightforward, so he straightened up and continued, "I can help you catch them."

The old woman's eyes widened as soon as the words came out, but Huo Guang lost confidence after looking at him again. What can a handsome young man do to deal with the insects, "What can you do?" The old woman asked. A little disappointed, he spoke his mind.

Just as Huo Guang wanted to explain why he was so sure behind him suddenly, he let out a scream, and Huo Guang's heart trembled.

"The county horse! This is our county horse!"

Then the speaker plopped and knelt on the ground and began to worship. The others saw him kneeling, looked at Huo Guang's face, and knelt down and kowtowed as if seeing a god.

Huo Guang let out a long breath, she didn't like this kind of scene the most, she just wanted to take a good look at the crab.

"Stupid woman, this is our county horse. You don't have to believe anyone's words, but you must believe what the county horse says. Hurry up and bow down."

After hearing the old man's words, the old woman knelt down on the ground very quickly, "The old woman was stupid and didn't know that the county horse was coming. Please forgive me, the county horse."

Huo Guang stretched out his hand to help the old woman up, and then asked everyone to get up too.

Originally, he wanted to explain to them that this food can be eaten, and that everyone can catch crabs from their own fields and eat delicious food every day, but after thinking about it, he might as well forget it. I guess these people will treat him as a psychopath, and have been dismissed for so long. Things that are regarded as pests, suddenly someone said that they are food today, not to mention ordinary people who are originally simple, even Huo Guang himself finds it difficult to accept.

He decided to appease these people first, only telling them that he had a way to get rid of these crabs, and let them go home without saying anything else.

Huo Guang bid farewell to these common people, and went back to the Marquis of Changming as quickly as possible, just in time to meet Qiao'er who came out of Rong'an's room.

"Jianma, what's wrong with you?"

This question stunned Huo Guang, what happened to him?It's nothing. Could it be that the expression on his face is weird?

Huo Guang settled down, and continued, "It's nothing, it's something, but it's not a big deal." Huo Guang didn't know what nonsense he was talking about, so he coughed twice, "Qiaoer, everyone in the whole house has something to say today. Good luck. Get up and call me Wang Yi, hurry up and run!"

In Qiao'er's heart, no matter what happens, the county horse can deal with it calmly. This is the first time that she was so anxious that she let herself run to spread the word. No matter what it is, as long as it is the task assigned by the county horse, it must be very important. Yes, Qiaoer ran too fast and found Wang Yi in one breath.

Seeing Qiaoer's anxious expression, Wang Yi guessed that Jun Ma must have urgent tasks to assign to him, so he strode towards Jun Ma's room without any ambiguity.

It stands to reason that Qiaoer can do what she should do after passing the message, but she is not at ease. She wants to know what Jun Ma is doing to find Wang Yi in such a hurry, whether she can help, is it another shopping mall? Something went wrong?The more Qiaoer thought about it, the more worried he became, pacing back and forth outside the door.

After Wang Yi entered the door, he closed the door. Qiaoer couldn't hear it even if she wanted to hear it, and lying on the crack of the door was not a good thing after all, and she couldn't do it, so she could only wait patiently outside the door. Suddenly, the door opened.

Wang Yi walked out the door with long eyebrows tightened.

Qiao'er hurried up to meet her, "Is there any urgent matter for the county horse? Is there any problem in the shopping mall?"

Wang Yi thought so on the way here, so he wanted to rush here in two steps, but...
Wang Yi stopped suddenly, turned his head to look at Huo Guang's room, and said in an incredible tone, "The county horse asked me to catch worms."
