Doomsday Farm Tour

Chapter 41

It was already late at night, but many people still stayed up all night. I thought that Haruhi would be better, but found that things were much worse than expected. Winter is one month longer in Japan, and summer comes earlier than expected. This brought back the drought that had only slightly eased, and made Lu Xiao worry about something else.

"I heard that there must be a plague of locusts after a severe drought. Do you think there will be... this year?" Lu Xiao went to check the fields early this morning, and the sudden appearance of flying insects reminded him of this problem that had been ignored all along. Huge locusts swarmed and blotted out the sky. I'm afraid they won't be able to save any food and will be injured in vain. Compared with the limited number of beasts... insects with strong reproductive ability are the most terrifying existence in the last days.

"..."

Chang An opened his mouth, surprise and astonishment flashed in his eyes. After the silence, I couldn't help but start to calculate the surplus food at home, no matter how I calculated it, it would not be enough to last the next spring.

"Prepare the torches in advance, and the rice and other grains will be harvested early... even if you lose some, it will be good." Compared with Lu Xiao, Chang'an knew the horror of the locust plague, and he couldn't help but feel tight. There was a distant cousin in their family who had been plagued by locusts before, so he couldn't help asking a few more questions out of curiosity when he was young. I still know some ways to resist the locust plague, but I'm afraid it will be of limited use.

"These things are not in a hurry. We'll talk about them in Xia Qiu." Lu Xiao looked at him as if he was approaching an enemy and couldn't help but patted him on the shoulder, but he just said it casually, which scared people.

"Changning and sister-in-law are almost nine months old. We have to ask Wei Xun to bring the midwife ahead of time. It's inconvenient on the road now, but it's a big deal if we delay." Lu Xiao didn't want to worry too much about Chang'an, so he talked about Changning . Because Ayun insisted on going back to Zheng's house to live, he didn't know much about the situation.

Now the only pregnant woman in Changning of the Lu family relies on him for everything, even though the age is not good, the pregnancy is still stable. Liu Shuhe has been with her these days, and the two are still loving and sweet.

...

After the beast tide incident, Chang'an has discarded many deeply-rooted ideas. After entrusting his son to Lu's father, Lu Mo, he followed Lu Xiao out to look for food.

Lu Xiao's bodyguard team has been heading west along the official road, with more than a dozen flatbed carts. There are a lot of hemp ropes on the car, which are used to tie the sacks containing grain.

It takes more than ten days at least to go back and forth from Lujia Village to the town, and I can't walk at the hottest time at noon, otherwise my skin will be burned by the sun.

There were no troubles along the way, but it was hard to avoid. There is no condition that you can order food at will at home, basically it is pickled vegetables, dried meat and hard dry food. Lu Xiao himself felt that it didn't matter, but he felt sorry for his wife, but he couldn't take out the things in the space under the watchful eyes of everyone. Space is also Lu Xiao's trump card, and he dare not reveal it easily.

A batch of black gunpowder had already been made, and this batch was put into the space by Lu Xiao. There is no air circulation in the space and even time is almost frozen. This is the most dangerous and safest place that Lu Xiao can think of.

With black gunpowder, Lu Xiao can launch mine warfare, and even if large-scale conflicts attract wild beasts, they can all be wiped out. In fact, at present, almost everyone is trying their best to avoid confrontation. After all, the beast horde is completely out of control, and once provoked, it will easily deplete the forces of both sides. No smart person would do such a thing as harming others.
