Natural disaster at the beginning: I will lead the system to build a safe zone
Chapter 185 Anlin Village 1
Anlin Village was hit by a locust plague earlier than Guangming Town. At this time, an old man in the village was carefully tending to the crops in the fields. Because disasters happened frequently in this world, the food in their village was getting less and less. They were counting on this wave of harvest to fill the granary.
But it seemed as if God didn't want them to have a good day. Just when the old man was looking forward to this year's harvest, a swarm of locusts passed by!
The old man was busy when he suddenly heard the sound of wings fluttering. He looked up blankly and saw the dense swarm of locusts flying towards the field. He let out a desperate roar from his throat: "The locusts are coming!"
With this shout, it was like a drop of water falling into a boiling oil pan, and the peaceful Anlin Village suddenly exploded.
The villagers in the village ran out to drive away the locusts, but how could they, a small village with less than a hundred people, fight against tens of thousands of locusts?
They had no pesticides, and not enough poultry to eat the locust eggs. Even the most primitive way of burning them was hampered by a shortage of manpower.
The old man looked at the crops he had worked so hard for a year destroyed, and he collapsed to the ground with tears in his eyes: "How can we live like this?"
The young men in the village, with red eyes, waved their brooms desperately and cursed non-stop, but the locusts ignored their anger and continued to devour them wantonly.
The people in Anlin Village cried heartbreakingly as they looked at the farmland that had been destroyed by locusts.
-
After all, Qinghe County is a county seat with few farmlands. In the past, there were not as many locusts as in Guangming Town, and most of them passed by the county seat and flew to the farmlands outside the city.
In addition, Yan Fei and others guarded the food strictly, so there was not much loss.
After several days of hard fighting in Guangming Town, the number of locusts finally decreased. Although there was some damage to the crops, the result was much better than what Shi Anan had expected.
Only at this moment did Shi Anan feel a little scared. She was almost about to leave the orchard.
Although locusts love crops the most, there is no guarantee that they will not eat her fruit trees when they are too hungry. The orchards rewarded by the system are all genetically modified fruits.
Compared with most of the bitter and astringent fruits of this era, this one is much better. She also hopes to build an ecological picking area in this orchard. If it is destroyed by locusts, she will be heartbroken.
Fortunately, she thought it was too late that day, so she didn't put it out. Otherwise, after the locusts passed by, she would not be able to take it back even if she wanted to.
After the number of locusts decreases, the originally brown locusts will gradually turn back to their previous color and will no longer secrete toxins.
At this time, locusts are excellent protein for the chickens and ducks raised in Guangming Town. The people on the farm simply release these poultry without any supervision, and they start to act as locust cleaners.
Within a few days, there were almost no locusts to be seen in Guangming Town.
But even after this wave of locust plague passed, Shi Anan did not open up the orchard immediately. Who knows if there will be another wave later.
After the locust plague was resolved, some families in Guangming Town who had not yet harvested the crops from the fields hurriedly began to harvest them, and some seedlings that were eaten by locusts also began to be replanted.
Although the losses this time have been minimized as much as possible, everyone still feels sad when they see the destroyed crops in the fields.
Due to weather reasons, the crops did not grow as well as in previous years, and the yield was completely dependent on the quality of the seeds. Now that the locusts have destroyed the crops, the yield has been even lower.
-
It was at this time that the people from Anlin Village appeared in front of everyone in Qinghe County.
They were at their wits' end. After the locust plague, they were almost in a food crisis. The village chief Yan Zhuo thought of the divine sound he had heard before and wanted to go out of the village to take a look.
His proposal was initially opposed by all the people in Anlin Village. It was no wonder that they were so cautious. Anlin Village had always lived a self-sufficient life since its establishment. Even when the world was not in chaos before, they rarely left the mountains.
For undocumented people like them, living in the village makes them feel more at ease.
Now the village leader, who is the backbone of the group, is going out, and the person he wants to find is such a miraculous existence. Is this god so easy to find? Will there be any danger on the way?
Everyone imagined a lot of scenarios in which they went to ask the owner of this voice for food, but were told that they needed to pay a price they couldn't afford in exchange. It was because Shi Anan didn't know about this idea, otherwise she would be speechless again.
After becoming a charlatan, she became a fierce and evil god~
But no matter how the villagers objected, Yan Zhuo was determined to leave. He couldn't bear to see everyone starve to death in the village.
Moreover, Yan Zhuo always had a feeling in her heart that the person who could make this sound was definitely not a bad person, otherwise she would not have spoken out to warn when the locust plague came.
I just don’t know why she reminded them so late. At that time, their village had already been attacked by locusts.
It was just a little advance warning, there was not much they could do. Faced with so many locusts, their resistance seemed very weak.
When Yan Zhuo brought a few young people from the village out, they didn't know where to find the owner of the magical sound. At that time, the sound was floating in the sky and their direction could not be heard at all.
"Brother Zhuo, where are we going?" asked Gao Cong from Anlin Village.
Yan Zhuo pondered for a moment and said, "Let's go to Qinghu first."
They knew Qinghu Lake, and they also knew that Qinghe County was across from Qinghu Lake. However, because there were no boats before, they could not go there via Qinghu Lake. However, they could observe the movements in the county from there.
Anlin Village was not too far from Qinghu Lake, they just rarely went out, but for safety reasons they also explored the surrounding terrain, so it only took them a few days to reach the vicinity of Qinghu Lake.
Yan Zhuo frowned and observed the environment. It seemed that this place was no different from when he came here before.
Although Chen Huairen and his family had stayed in this area for a few days before, they habitually hid their tracks when they left, so Yan Zhuo could not see any obvious difference at this time.
At this moment, Gao Cong, who was walking to the lake, exclaimed, "Look over there!"
Startled by his shout, Yan Zhuo looked up and saw Gao Cong pointing in a direction with his eyes wide open and mouth open, as if he had seen something incredible.
