Datang Almighty Dad

Chapter 379 Disaster is coming
"Daddy, why do our kite strings need to be so thick?"

"Because our kite is big!"

"Then why are our kites so big?"

"Because, because... because the kite is bigger and can fly higher."

"To fly higher, don't you need to see if the rope is long enough? Why..."

"Stop asking why, and we'll go home!"

……

In the outskirts of Chang'an City, the wind is sunny and sunny. It is rare for Li Yuanying to take his family out to enjoy the flowers. In view of his daughter's physical fitness, he specially customized a super-large kite. The strings are all pencil thickness. If it is too small and thin, the daughter will break it with a slight pull.

"Okay, okay, fly up, fly up, Daddy is great, Daddy... oops, fell again, Daddy, can you fly a kite?"

"Then why don't you come? This kite was specially made for you. I don't have enough strength, so of course I can't fly it." Li Yuanying handed over the kite string angrily.

Xiao Doudou backed away with his hands behind his back, and said with a sneer: "Hey, I can't do it either. If I let me fly it twice, the kite will break."

Hey... Sighing, seeing Yuwen Chengdu and Li Yuanba who were also flying kites not far away, Li Yuanying had no choice but to ask for help, "Old iron, old iron, come and help."

"Haha, there are still times in this world where you can beat your King Qin? Look, learn a little bit, kite flying is very skillful."

In less than a moment, Yuwen Chengdu flew the special big kite, and Xiao Doudou's excited hands blushed.

"Okay, let's put it away, come and try it out?" Yu Wencheng handed over the rope.

Xiao Doudou still shook his head and refused, "I don't dare, I put it up with great difficulty, and I'm afraid it will fall down again when it's in my hands. Uncle Tie, you're really good at flying kites. I just see you fly it."

Uh... that's it, okay then.How about tying the rope around Xiao Huang's neck?As long as it runs, it can be released.

What?Xiao Huang, who was rolling on the grass next to him, was shocked, and looked at this side vigilantly and resentfully, and then ran away without looking back, thinking that I will not go, the rope is so thick, if it strangles me again Who is responsible if you die?
"You guys play here first. I'll go and see if our barbecue is ready. There are a lot of people today, so I have to do it myself." Li Yuanying walked towards the barbecue stall in the distance.

The concubines Qin, Li Yuanba's wife Zhao Wang, Yuwen Chengdu's wife, a few maids, Fang Er and Feng Er's two busy disciples, and a group of helpers from the palace are all busy.Barbecue, soup, and the fragrance wafting ten miles away, the Xuanjia soldiers who were guarding around them couldn't help sniffling.

"It's almost the same. You always let me fly the kite alone. My arms are a little sore. Can you try to replace it? Doudou? Dou... huh? Where is he? When did he run away?" It's gone, and I said in my heart that I was flying a kite and no one was watching after a long time of trouble?

no one watching?Who said no one is watching?Li Yuanba was chatting with a group of old ladies, and teased Yuwen Chengdu, he was a big boss, but he never lost his playfulness, he was so addicted to flying a kite.

Xiao Doudou caught a bunch of grasshoppers somewhere, and ran to the barbecue stand for help, "Daddy, look at the grasshoppers I caught. Can these grasshoppers be eaten? We also roasted them for a try." How about a try?"

Li Yuanying scratched her daughter's nose lightly with her hand, and said dotingly: "You are a snack, you dare to eat anything. But you are mistaken, this grasshopper is indeed edible, just bake it. But the best one is deep-fried. Give this to me, and grab some more, so that everyone can taste it.”

Xiao Doudou was encouraged and happier, turned around and ran after handing in the grasshopper, and was able to help cook by himself, which was very interesting.

"Doudou, this grasshopper is wrong. Try to grab some green or emerald green ones. This kind of yellow tastes bad." Li Yuanying glanced at the bunch of grasshoppers in his hand, and did not forget to remind his daughter.

"I know! It's just that there are many yellow ones, and it's rare to see emerald green ones!"

"Don't worry, we... No, why does this grasshopper look so strange?" Li Yuanying just yelled, and when he saw the grasshopper carefully, it didn't look like what he saw in the ordinary fields, and he began to mutter in his heart.

"Daddy, there are a lot of grasshoppers here, all of them are yellow, and I can't find emerald green." Xiao Doudou ran back and complained.

"A lot of things? This kid is just a few grasshoppers, what a fuss!"

"No, Dad, it seems, it seems to be everywhere!"

Help!The barbecue fork in Li Yuanying's hand fell on the charcoal grill. Looking at the bunch of grasshoppers in his hand, his heart tightened, and before he had time to say more, he rushed towards the direction pointed by his daughter.

"Master, master..." Fang Er and Feng Er were very surprised, but they couldn't understand what it meant.

After a while, Li Yuanying saw the abnormally dense grasshoppers on the ground, and immediately panicked, "Come, come, prepare the horse, hurry up, the king is going to enter the palace."

"Daddy, what's wrong with Daddy? Isn't today the court's rest time?" Xiao Doudou was very strange.

"The locust plague, this is the grasshopper of the locust plague! Something has happened!" Muttering to herself, Li Yuanying got on her horse and rushed towards Chang'an City. Li Junxian arranged for a good man to be on duty and chased after him on horseback.

"Doudou, what did your father do in such a panic?" Li Yuanba asked in confusion.

Xiao Doudou shook his head, pouted his mouth and said: "I don't know, I agreed to come out to play, halfway to be lazy. Hmph, what kind of locust plague! It's like a fire."

What?Say it again, what did your father just say about the plague of locusts?It's over, something happened.

Li Yuanba stopped today's picnic barbecue, arranged for everyone to go home, and brought Yu Wencheng into the palace in an emergency.

Children are young and don’t know what a locust plague is, but the adults present know that the locust plague is simply a disaster. In this era, the three natural disasters, floods, droughts, and locust plagues, are all fatal. Hungry everywhere.

In the Taiji Hall, Li Er was correcting the memorial, and felt that Li Yuanying was making a fuss, "Wulang, is it too nervous? Isn't it just that there are more grasshoppers than usual? Why is it defined as a locust plague? Moreover, if there is a locust plague in Chang'an, then the four weeks Why are there no memorials everywhere?"

"Second brother, I'm not alarmist. Look at the bunch of grasshoppers in my hand. It's not an ordinary field thing. This is a species of locust plague! If my prediction is correct, there must be signs nearby, and even far away. Now, maybe the urgent report is on the way, we have to guard against it!" Li Yuanying earnestly said.

Defend?You mean, this locust plague can still be prevented?When locust plagues occurred in previous years, it was God's anger. How to prevent them?The reason why Emperor Li Er was indifferent was that he did not want to believe it, because locust plagues were different from floods and droughts and could not be dealt with immediately.

Li Yuanying sighed: "The prevention and control of the locust plague is in winter. Now that summer is about to begin, it seems to be too late. We can only allocate and store food as soon as possible, and then order a strict battle to deal with the locusts."

"Report! Eight hundred miles, rush, Longxi, Guanzhong, large-scale locust plague!" An urgent and loud cry made the imperial pen on Li's second hand drop the order, and the whole person was stunned, his face was pale, and he muttered in his mouth ,no no……
