Qin Xiang

Gan Luo was in a daze, his mind was a mess, and after being stirred back and forth with a big iron rod, he had a terrible headache.There seemed to be a heavy boulder on his chest, blocking all the churning things in his stomach, and he couldn't spit it out, so he could only continue to churning in the original position.

He could probably hear very light footsteps back and forth, and familiar voices.Hearing that voice, it turned out to be brother and uncle.Those voices became a constant hum, echoing in my head.Like a newborn baby, he tried hard to open his eyes, but the constant force on the brow bone still had no effect.

A soft, moist cloth dabs against his lips, relieving the dryness in his throat.He wanted to say something, something very important, he wanted to tell brother.But what is this matter?Gan Luo tried hard to recall but couldn't think of anything.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but he always felt that his body finally had some strength, and his thinking became clearer.He worked hard for a long time.Finally opened his eyes.The flickering candle made his eyes a little sour, and finally he closed his eyes.

Let him slow down a little and take a rest.

"Ah Luo, you're finally awake?! What's wrong with you? Come and call Wei Liao over." After giving the last sentence, Ying Zheng came over again.

Gan Luo's eyes adapted to the light outside, and finally saw Ying Zheng's slovenly appearance.In his eyes, Ying Zheng seemed to be ten years older. His thick beard had never been trimmed, and it was extremely messy. His eyes were so red and bloodshot that they almost turned into rabbit eyes.There are also a lot of untrimmed hairs on the eyebrows, making them look even more sinister.Probably only Gan Luo could ignore this evil spirit and laugh happily.

"You're still young, do you know that, just a little bit, just a little bit, you're going to die outside?!" Ying Zheng really wanted to open Gan Luo's head to see what was inside!His red frame was red, and he didn't know if it was because he wanted to cry, or because he stayed up too late.

Gan Luo didn't dare to laugh anymore, and suddenly lost his temper.

Gan Luo avoided the water that Ying Zheng sent to his mouth, and said eagerly: "Brother, you must punish them severely for the evidence and witnesses I brought back. They are a bunch of moths! They are more terrible than locusts infested " Gan Luo thought of the scenes he saw in the disaster area before, and tears rolled down his face. At this moment, the former young prime minister finally grew up, but the price was painful.

"I have put them all under arrest, and there are witnesses, but there is no evidence. The captain is accepting this case, don't worry, none of those silverfish can escape. You are still very weak now, take a good rest , I will leave the rest to brother." Ying Zheng said sternly.

At this time, Wei Liao also rushed over. He was even more emaciated than Ying Zheng. During the few days when Gan Luo was seriously ill, he didn't even dare to sleep deeply, for fear that Gan Luo's condition would change.

Seeing his nephew's weakness, Wei Liao felt sore in his heart, so he hurriedly took his pulse. After careful examination, Wei Liao finally heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "Your body is still relatively weak. Take good care of it for a few years, and you won't lose your lifespan." .”

"Yunniang, bring me a bowl of ginseng juice." Gan Luo stood up supporting his limp body, while ordering the maid.But Yun Niang looked at Ying Zheng's dark cloud overwhelming face, and rationally continued to pretend that she didn't exist.

"Your body is weak, you can't drink such nourishing things, you can only warm it up little by little." Wei Liao explained that ginseng is good, but it also needs to treat the symptoms.He and the staff of the newly established Taiyuan Hospital spent a lot of effort to snatch people back from the gate of hell, how could they give up halfway.

Gan Luo waved his hand and begged pitifully: "Uncle, I'm just not energetic right now, I just want to drink a bowl of ginseng juice, and I will be fine if I have the energy to finish the unfinished business."

"The reason why you didn't find any evidence is because they have already destroyed the evidence. However, I have a good memory, so I forcibly wrote down a copy." Speaking of this, Xiao Gan Luo showed a little pride in his youth.

"Whether the evidence is important or your life is important, if you really want to seek death, I will do it myself, so as not to kill yourself." Wei Liao slapped Gan Luo on the forehead angrily, It's not heavy, but it also expresses my feelings of hating iron but not steel.

Gan Luo didn't dare to fight back, but Ying Zheng was different.He hugged Gan Luo's small body that had lost two circles of weight, and glared at Wei Liao: "Speak as soon as you speak, why beat someone?! Knowing that Gan Luo just woke up, his mind is still unclear, so if you have something to say, just say it. "That tone is very similar to the aunt who protects the child.

Gan Luo was a little surprised by Ying Zheng's attitude. After all, he used to be thirsty for talents, and Ying Zheng was almost resigned to the captain.Even if he was scolded face to face, Ying Zheng would forgive him generously, and even arranged for Wei Liao to live in a magnificent house.

Yingzheng and Weiliao sprayed venom on each other like fighting cocks, and turned their heads. At the heart of the matter, Gan Luo had honestly finished a bowl of porridge and fell asleep again.

"It's good to be able to eat and sleep." Wei Liao raised the corners of his mouth in satisfaction, and his face was full of chrysanthemums with a smile.But when he saw Ying Zheng, he snorted coldly, if it wasn't for this brat, how could Gan Luo suffer such a big crime.

The matter dates back to October, not long after the Queen Mother arrived in Yongcheng.Because of this year's drought, grasslands in the northern region were the first to suffer from locusts.Immediately afterwards, those locusts swept across the entire Qin State, and no grass grew anywhere they passed.

Gan Luo was young and low in seniority, so he was assigned this thankless task.Guigu has a good terrain and has never experienced drought or flood disasters. He has never experienced locust plagues before.In order to speed up the pace, Gan Luo only took Qiu Wuxue, who could ride a horse, to investigate the place in the eyes of the locust plague.Only when such things are thoroughly understood can a solution be found.

Gan Luo and Qiu Wuxue only carried dry food, one person and one horse, carefully avoiding the raging locusts.The original blue sky and white clouds have disappeared at this time, and only a dark patch can be seen in the distance, covering the sky and covering the earth, which makes people tremble with fear.

Finally, the two reached their destination.

Qiu Wuxue led the two horses and followed Gan Luo silently.In this small village, not only the grain and reeds in the fields were eaten up, but even the weeds growing on the adobe houses were eaten away.

Gan Luo had just walked through a house when he suddenly heard a woman crying in pain.He rushed in hastily, but after only one glance, Gan Luo was so frightened that he took a step back. The appearance of that child was really terrifying.

Presumably it was also locusts crossing the border. When there was no more to eat, some locusts flew into the house. The children had no ability to resist, and their bodies were full of wounds, pits, and blood.The child's mother hugged the child and cried loudly, blaming herself for her negligence, but the matter was already like this, and even if she regretted it, she could not change the ending.

Gan Luo couldn't bear to look any more, so he ran out to find herbs that could heal the wound.But such a large piece of locusts is so edible that there is really no grass.Gan Luo walked in again, and patted the woman's shoulder carefully. It was thick and fleshy, and it looked like she was used to doing farm work.

"The food in the field has not been kept, and the baby has not been kept. Why am I so miserable? Why am I still alive? Why don't we mothers die together!" The children in the house seemed to be afraid of being snatched away.

Seeing that the other party didn't respond, Gan Luo yelled "Auntie", and the other party woke up like a dream, looking at Gan Luo in confusion, with no hope in his eyes.

"Auntie, don't be so busy crying, no matter how big the hurdle is, you will get over it. Clean the child's wound first, and he will be fine." Although Gan Luo is a young student, his calm demeanor is enough to comfort people's hearts.

The aunt has regained her mind, no matter how difficult life is, don't you want to live on? !She took a bite of the water accumulated in the water tank, and wiped away her tears to clean the child's wound.The child was whimpering, and his cry of pain was also weak.

"My dear baby, the pain will be gone soon, I will give you my brother." Gan Luo squatted down and blew lightly on the child's wound, maybe this would relieve the pain.Blowing and blowing, Gan Luo felt his eyes a little sore.The locusts are raging, and the disaster is all the hard-working people.

"Ma'am, my senior brother and I came here uninvited. We offended you. Please forgive me." Gan Luo politely apologized to the aunt.

"My husband's family name is Zhu." Aunt Zhu also knew that her crying just now might have frightened the two foreigners, so she attracted them, so she didn't say anything.

"Aunt Zhu, I'm Gan Luo, and this is my senior brother Qiu Wuxue." After Gan Luo introduced himself, he stopped talking and silently helped Aunt Zhu clean the wound on the child.Without medicinal materials, everything can only be sustained by the child. Fortunately, the weather has cooled down a lot now, so there is no need to worry too much about the wound suppuration and inflammation.

Aunt Zhu looked at the kind-hearted young man with handsome features, and reminded her kindly: "Gan Xiaolang, I think you seem to be a learned man. There is nothing worth seeing here. The originally bare land has been disturbed by locusts. Brighter."

"I came here to solve the locust problem." Gan Luo looked at Qiu Wuxue, but the other party refused to speak, so he could only brag about himself, so that the country woman could trust him more and praise himself. I'm sorry,

Aunt Zhu looked at Gan Luo suspiciously, and after a long while, she suddenly realized: "I remembered, you are the 12-year-old prime minister of our state of Qin." After knowing Gan Luo's identity, she believed in Gan Luo even more and was willing Tell each other more about locusts.

Gan Luo took it seriously in his mind.

"The locust plague is really terrible." Gan Luo shivered just listening.

"In a lifetime, who hasn't seen a few locust plagues?" Aunt Zhu coaxed the child in her arms to sleep, her tone revealing resentment.

Gan Luo wanted to know another thing: "Then how did you solve the locust plague?"

"How can the locust plague be solved? At that time, God sent a disaster. We either worshiped the locust god and let it bless us, or we fled far away and changed to a place without locusts."
