I've been reborn, who would still raise a son from another family? Go away

Liu Yueru's expression changed and she asked, "What's going on?"

Mother Yan explained hurriedly, "My lady, don't worry. I heard that he had married a wife before, but she despised him for being poor and didn't want to live a hard life with him, so she secretly ran away with a rich family."

Liu Yueru heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this and asked, "What happened next?"

"He never remarried after that. He is an honest and principled person. I heard that Old Chen encouraged farmers to harvest their crops later, but it was Zhang Liang who stopped him. This shows that he has some foresight."

Liu Yueru listened carefully to what Mother Yan said for a long time.

She slowly said, "Observe him for a while. If there is no problem with his character and Ye Tao likes him, then find a matchmaker to discuss the marriage between the two."

"Yes." Mother Yan responded happily. Overall, she was quite satisfied with Zhang Liang.

......

When Liu Yueru had collected all the grain from the fields.

Suddenly, some flying insects flew over the fields.

One, two, three...

Uncle Fu grabbed one of them and examined it carefully. His pupils suddenly dilated and he shouted to the crowd, "Quickly move all the food back to the yard."

Everyone looked at Uncle Fu in confusion.

Then I heard Uncle Fu shout, "The locusts are coming, hurry up."

The farmers were all people who cared about food. When they heard Uncle Fu shouting that locusts were coming, they all ran back with their sweet potatoes and peanuts.

There was only a small patch of sweet potato left in the field that had not been dug up.

But at this time, no one cared about that anymore.

The noisy sound of insects began to be heard not far away.

There was a buzzing sound, and a dark mass appeared in the distance.

Uncle Fu urged everyone to run faster.

The official slaves took the grain from the farmers and quickly moved it back to the cellar. Those who were working in the fields also followed them and hid back in the yard.

As soon as they closed the far door, the sky was covered with locusts and turned dark.

The sound was exceptionally loud.

"Where do all these locusts come from?"

Someone was quietly looking at the locusts outside through the crack in the door.

The farmers were still frightened when they heard the noise outside.

If I had not followed the instructions from my superiors and collected the grain in advance, I am afraid there would be nothing left now.

"No wonder the emperor issued such an order. This is to protect us, the people below."

"If I had listened to that old man Chen, I would have gained nothing now."

"Thanks to Zhang Liang's reminder."

Various voices were heard from the crowd.

Liu Yueru listened to the noises outside. The book said that locusts were delicacies for livestock such as chickens, ducks, and geese.

But there are so many locusts that I’m afraid that the chickens, ducks and geese will be eaten by the locusts before they can be eaten.

Uncle Fu came up to Liu Yueru and asked, "Madam, do we need to notify you to release the livestock?"

"If those locusts are not killed, will they fly to other places?" Liu Yueru asked.

"Yes." Uncle Fu said with a sad face.

"Send the signal and let all the livestock out."

Uncle Fu nodded and sent the signal stick that had been agreed upon in advance out from the direction of the window.

The enclosures are nearby.

After Fu Bo's letter was sent out.

Not long after.

From outside, there came the sound of geese, geese, geese... quack, quack... coo, coo...

The sounds of chickens, ducks and geese came from the east.

The sounds of chickens, ducks and geese could also be heard from the west.

Then came the south and the north.

The locusts on the bottom, which were originally densely packed, suddenly became sparse.

Someone exclaimed through the crack in the door: "There are so many chickens, ducks and geese. They ate all the locusts."

Liu Yueru also looked outside. Although there were fewer locusts, there were still a lot of them.

She said to Uncle Fu, "Bring the torches that we prepared earlier."

Uncle Fu asked worriedly, "Madam, you can't go out now. I just checked and found that the locusts are different from the previous ones. They are bigger this time. If you go out, you will get hurt. You need to wear protective clothes."

"Is there?" Liu Yueru asked.

"Yes, but these clothes are of little use in daily life, so I bought few, only about twenty pieces." Uncle Fu replied.

"These sizes are determined according to the male's body shape. When the locusts are almost eaten by the chickens, ducks and geese, I will lead people out." Uncle Fu said.

the other side.

Xie Jingrui and Liu Fufeng both learned the news of the appearance of locusts, and they formed a team and rushed to West City and the place where the locusts appeared.

When they arrived at West City with a team of several hundred people, the number of locusts had been reduced a lot.

But the locusts were unwilling to leave and kept hovering in the sky.

Xie Jingrui, wearing armor, shouted to his brothers behind him in a loud voice: "Light the torches, kill them all, and defend the territory of Kyoto to the death!"

"We swear to defend Kyoto's territory to the death."

The words fell.

Among the dark army of locusts, tiny spots of fire appeared.

One bunch, two bunches, three bunches...

Ten beams, a hundred beams, more and more, brighter and brighter.

The originally black swarm of locusts were burned down by the flames.

The sky also brightened.

Seeing this, Uncle Fu said to the official slaves, "Change your clothes and we will go and help together."

There were more than ten sets of clothes left from the ten official slaves. Uncle Fu selected more than ten tall and yellow servants from his own men to follow him. Suddenly, Zhang Liang's voice rang out.

"Uncle Fu, I also want Tongtian to go and help and give some small help."

Uncle Fu looked at Zhang Liang and then at Ye Tao without saying anything. He just stuffed a piece of protective clothing into his hand.

After everyone put on their clothes, Uncle Fu led his men out from the back.

Everyone held two torches in their hands, lit them, and joined the crowd in killing the locusts.

Two incense sticks of time passed.

The locusts outside have been almost wiped out.

A thick layer of it was scattered on the ground.

The fields were filled with the aroma of barbecue.

The servants in the house also worked non-stop and boiled a lot of tea.

Liu Yueru took a look through the crack in the door and then ordered someone to open it.

Under the sunlight, those wearing armor and protective clothing were now soaked in sweat.

She immediately saw the heroic men in the crowd, who were holding torches and burning the locusts.

The locusts were shot down one by one in front of him.

just.

Liu Yueru discovered that there was a locust not far from Xie Jingrui, staring at him intently.

Liu Yueru walked towards Xie Jingrui, shouting as she ran, "Watch out for your eyes!"

Xie Jingrui heard Liu Yueru's voice and turned to look at her.

The huge locust flew towards Xie Jingrui's black eyes.

Xie Jingrui took the torch and tried to burn it, but the locust dodged him.

Straight into Xie Jingrui's eyes.

Xie Jingrui suddenly lowered his head and covered his eyes.

Liu Yueru's breathing stagnated, she quickened her pace and came to Xie Jingrui's side.

He asked with concern: "Where are you hurt?"

The hand that Xie Jingrui was covering his eyes with suddenly began to bleed from between his slender fingers!

Liu Yueru didn't care about the difference between men and women, she pulled Xie Jingrui's wrist and said, "Come with me, we'll go see the doctor, don't worry, everything will be fine."

Xie Jingrui's eyes fell on the hand that Liu Yueru was holding, and his heart felt warm, but he thought of what the secret guard had said that day.

Xie Jingrui shook off Liu Yueru's hand expressionlessly and said calmly, "This is my own business. It has nothing to do with you. You don't have to worry about it."

After hearing this, Liu Yueru's body stiffened, and the hand that was holding him stopped in mid-air.
