40: Zero Yuan Purchase, a Big Bang

Yun Feifei saw that they still had the leisure to talk here. If she didn't interrupt, who knows how long the conversation would last!

"Well, we have nothing to eat now. We are starving to death. I don't care if it tastes good or not. As long as I can fill my stomach, that's all."

Yun Feifei interrupted their conversation and stopped them from continuing.

"Guohua, hurry up. They are about to eat all the crops. If they have nothing to eat, they will move to another location. Then we won't be able to catch them even if we want to."

After hearing this, Yun Guohua and the others didn't say anything more and continued with what they were doing.

There were already two sacks filled in front of them, which they had compressed tightly and then tied with hemp ropes.

When the visitor saw Yun Feifei and the others working hard to catch locusts, he thought of what they said and realized that he didn't have much food left at home. If this thing could be eaten, he could go hungry for a few fewer days.

What's more, Yun Feifei and the others are in front, so let them be the vanguard and eat if there is no problem.

Having made up his mind, he quickly ran back home, found a few sacks, and asked his family members to join in catching locusts as food reserves.

More and more people saw Yun Feifei's actions, and some of them joined the team to capture locusts for food reserves.

Some people insisted on their own opinion that locusts were inedible and had no intention of catching them.

After half a day, large numbers of locusts left in groups, leaving behind dead locusts or injured locusts all over the ground, and of course they also left behind a lot of eggs.

Looking around, there was not much green left in the land of Yunjiazhuang due to the drought, and now it has been destroyed by locusts, leaving it in a barren state.

The crops in the fields were consumed by locusts, leaving only bare land.

Wailing sounds were heard all over the land, and many people lay on the ground in grief.

"No more, all gone."

"How are we going to live from now on?"

"It's really like a swarm of locusts passing through, leaving not a blade of grass behind! Oh my God, how are we going to survive in the future?"

……

Different from others, Yun Feifei asked her younger brothers and sisters to divide the work and cooperate with each other.

She brought Yun Lingling here to watch, while Yun Guohua and Yun Shasha carried several sacks of locusts and rushed home. Even Yun Guoping also carried a sack and followed them home.

Then he asked Yun Guoping to stay at home, while Yun Guohua and Yun Shasha continued to rush over to move the things.

They did this three times before they finally brought all the locusts back home.

On the village chief's side, he listened to Yun Feifei's advice and organized the villagers to catch locusts.

This also means that this is just a suggestion, and it may kill people. It is a personal choice whether to catch it or not.

Similarly, some people agree and some people refuse.

This is their choice. I just hope that when they run out of food, they won’t see people filling their stomachs with locusts...

Yun Feifei carried a sack of locusts and followed the three of them towards home.

It's not that she didn't ask for more, but her brothers and sisters sympathized with her injury and didn't let her do it. This sack was only given to her after she strongly requested it.

Along the way, we saw the corpses of locusts all over the ground. There were still many locusts, and they were still wriggling, but they were injured and could not fly, and were left behind by the large army.

As soon as I entered the house, I found that the vegetable fields in my yard were also visited by locusts.

When the locusts first came, Yun Shasha and the other two were at home. They picked some large fruits and vegetables and hid them, while the rest were eaten by the locusts.

When Yun Guohua went home to find them, the three of them were very busy at home, packing the existing food in the house into sacks and hiding them.

Because their house had fallen into disrepair, there were holes of varying sizes in the rooms.

Many locusts entered the room through these holes, looking for edible food to eat.

When I got home, I saw that the house was in a mess. Locusts could be seen everywhere. Some of them had become corpses, while others were still crawling around.

Everyone picked up the broom and rag and cleaned the kitchen first.

Yun Feifei saw that her brothers and sisters had tiny wounds on their faces and hands, some of which were bleeding.

It should be that when the locust hit the face or body, the person was scratched by the thorns on its legs.

Yun Feifei asked Yun Guohua to take out the big basin from home, fill it with water, and add salt to the water.

She told Yun Shasha to tie the bag quickly after she took out some locusts from the bag, so that the locusts that she had caught with great effort would fly out.
