He felt that his father had changed, and he wanted to let his grandparents know.

As for what they would do after they knew it, he didn't understand.

But he just wanted them to know.

The locusts came quickly and left quickly.

But if they go there, it means there will be no food for them.

Lin Anji opened the window several times to observe and only after the birds had really flown away did he help carry the rice seedlings back into the old house.

The situation today was so scary that he felt very unsafe staying outside.

Along the way, no one spoke.

The familiar village before my eyes seemed so strange.

The fertile land was turned into a wasteland after being ravaged by locusts. The lush crops in the fields were eaten up, leaving only bare stalks.

The villagers' faces were filled with fatigue and despair, and tears were sparkling in their eyes.

These locusts not only took away their harvest, but also their hope and future. They don't know how to face this cruel reality, nor how to spend the next days.

Grief is contagious, especially in this situation, where it is amplified a lot.

The Lin family, who were originally celebrating the harvest of their fields, could not be happy at this moment.

After Lin Anji sent the people and rice seedlings to the old house, he hurried to Lin Shiyu.

There was no way. His son kept shouting that he was itchy, and his face became red and swollen after scratching it with his hands. In addition, his face was scratched by the locusts, so it looked like he was seriously injured to outsiders.

He remembered that when he was still in the field, his daughter shouted that the insects were poisonous. He was afraid that something might happen to the child, so he didn't even have time to take care of the harvest at home.

Lin Shiyu took a look and went into her room to get the allergy medicine and trauma medicine and handed them to Lin Anji, instructing him on how to use and how much to use and to keep the hygiene and cleaning done.

"I don't know what's going on outside."

After Lin Anji left, Liu said worriedly that Lin Bowen's appearance just now was really scary.

"What else can I do? It must be very bad."

She has never experienced a locust plague, but she has seen documentaries!

Locusts pass through the border and no grass grows.

The crops in the fields would certainly be destroyed. Not to mention the crops, even the plants and trees might be harmed.

This is a catastrophic disaster for the people who rely on the land for their livelihood.

I am not afraid of the land suffering from disaster, but I am afraid that people will suffer from disaster as well.

Common locusts are green in color, while locusts during locust plagues are gray.

Gray locusts are poisonous.

Touching them can easily cause itching and allergies. They can also easily scratch human skin, and damaged skin can easily lead to skin diseases.

These are all minor illnesses, but here where even a cold can kill people, even minor illnesses must be taken seriously.

Eating locusts that have changed color can cause poisoning. The toxin will be weakened after high-temperature cooking, but eating large amounts will still cause poisoning.

With their crops destroyed and nothing to eat, how many people would eat locusts to satisfy their hunger?

There will definitely be a lot.

In addition to these, there is another consequence that Lin Shiyu is afraid of.

She was afraid that the locusts might carry an unknown virus and that plague would occur wherever they passed.

Plague is the thing that people fear the most. People call the plague "human head plague".

Once it appears, a large number of people will die.

"Fortunately, we can grow crops all year round here. If we work hard, we'll have vegetables to eat in a while."

Green vegetables grow fast and can be eaten in one to two months. Although they cannot be compared with rice, at least there is something to eat and people will not starve to death.

Lin Shiyu is not so optimistic.

It is like spring here all year round, and there is no shortage of vegetables to eat from the beginning of the year to the end of the year.

Rice planting also has two seasons a year. Logically speaking, as long as they can survive half a year, they can have an autumn harvest in the second half of the year, and their lives will slowly return to their normal life.

But if it were just like this, the heroine in the book would not have left Yamada Village because she couldn't bear it anymore and followed that Mr. Zhao.

There wouldn't be a plot where this body died early, the heroine was killed by Lin Anru, and finally the heroine was reborn with hatred.

"In addition to the locust plague, there must be a series of other things..."

Lin Shiyu muttered to herself.

Lin Shiyu didn’t know what else happened specifically, as the book did not describe the disasters during this period in detail.

There is no use in thinking too much.

Anyway, after she traveled back in time and told her parents everything, her family started preparing for the worst-case scenario.

The villagers' cries were heard outside, and Lin Shiyu really didn't want to go out and see these scenes.

She couldn't help by going out, and it would only make her feel bad.

Liu also heard the noise outside. She sighed several times and her mood became heavy.

Their home is at the edge of the village, and even from this location one can hear the crying...

"Come and sort out these edibles."

Liu walked over and closed the door and window to block out the faint sounds, then called her two children to come over for help.

It is summer now, the temperature is high and the humidity is also high.

The vegetables in the field cannot be kept for more than a few days, so if you want them to prevent them from rotting, you have to start processing them.

Processed into pickles, sauerkraut, dried vegetables, pickled vegetables...

After leaving enough for two or three days, the mother and her two sons started to work.

The crying outside the house gradually became less frequent.

Maybe he was tired of crying, or maybe he accepted his fate, and he suddenly became quiet.

Things have happened and life must go on.

……

Fucheng.

In the inn, Lin Anru looked at these students whose faces had been completely changed and felt relieved.

Fortunately, I run fast.

"Mr. Lin, my master asked me to come over and ask you if you have any suitable ointment."

The person who came was Mr. Hong’s boy. Lin Anru recognized him, although his face now looked like a pig’s head.

"There is ointment, but I don't know if it is suitable for the disease."

Before going out, Lin Shiyu prepared a bunch of different ointments for him.

It has both antipruritic and anti-swelling properties, and the efficacy is excellent.

However, if it was given to outsiders, Lin Anru couldn't guarantee it, as he was afraid that something might go wrong and they would get him into trouble.

"It's okay, Mr. Lin, please give it to me." The little boy said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Lin Anru went into her room and took out the ointment.

After receiving it, the little boy thanked Lin Anru and then couldn’t wait to find his own son.

The unknown ointment certainly could not be used on the young master immediately, so the first thing it did after getting the ointment was to apply it on the child.

Half an hour later, the redness and swelling on the child's face had disappeared by more than half.

"This medicine is really effective." The little boy touched his face and sighed.

Upon seeing this, Mr. Hong couldn't wait to apply the ointment on his face.

He could still bear the pain and itching, but he couldn't wait because he was afraid of being disfigured.

As a person who wants to pursue a career in politics, disfigurement means losing the opportunity to meet the emperor.

This was unbearable for the ambitious man.
