"Second cousin, what's wrong with you?" , Song Deling, the village party secretary of Xiangfu Village, and the boss of Song Baozhu's second grandfather's family. At this moment, he squatted on the edge of the field and frowned deeply, his face full of anxiety and despair.

"Baozhu, why are you in the field, go back quickly, this Sun Boss." Song Deling saw that Song Baozhu's soft glutinous rice balls were also squatting on the edge of the field like him, and he was looking at him with a worried face. 

His heart softened, and he touched the little girl's head with his rough hand, compared to other people in Xiangfu Village, he was also well-informed. 

I often go to meetings in the county, even those children in the city, and I haven't seen anyone as cute as Baozhu.

When she met Song Baozhu before, Song Deling would laugh and tease her a few words, but now she is completely out of mood.

It is the growing season of crops, but many small insects suddenly appear in the field, these small insects are specially gnawing on the roots of crops, and the originally lush crops are gnawed to death, even the most productive sweet potatoes and potatoes have not escaped. 

If this continues, the crops will die, and the grain will not be harvested, which will be worse than the difficult times of the previous years.

Looking back on those years, Song Deling's eyes were full of panic and helplessness, if these insects can't be solved, what will the people in the village eat in the second half of the year and next year, how should they live?

He went to the county and reported the situation to the organization, only to learn that it was not their Xiangfu Village that had this situation, and most of the villages in the county had suffered. 

The leaders were also so anxious that the corners of their mouths were foaming, and the experts in the county went down to various villages to investigate and find solutions. 

But there is no way to kill these insects, according to experts, this is a new type of insects, destructive, and extremely strong reproductive ability, even if these insects are killed with highly effective pesticides, as long as there is one more, it will not take a few days to multiply and spread to the whole land. 

And those pesticides with strong medicinal properties are also very harmful to crops, insects are killed, and crops are afraid that they will also be burned to death.

These insects are still only in Yun County for the time being, if they can't be stopped in the past few days, maybe they will spread to the surrounding districts and counties, at this rate, there will be more than one Yun County that will suffer.

Thinking of this, Song Deling's hands couldn't stop shaking.

Song Baozhu shook his head: "I gave myself a half-day off." "She hasn't chatted with her uncles, aunts, grandparents, and grandparents, and it's a shame to go back now.

Song Deling didn't have the heart to talk to her anymore, staring at the ground with bloodshot eyes, he couldn't sleep for several days and nights.

Song Baozhu felt that Song Deling was in a very bad mood, she touched Song Deling's head tangledly, and comforted her in a milky voice: "Second uncle, it's okay."

Song Deling smiled bitterly, how could it be okay?!

Everyone in the field is still bending down to catch insects, Song Baozhu doesn't understand, she thinks it's funny, she also followed the ground to catch them, these insects are small, but they crawl fast, the ground is densely packed everywhere, Song Baozhu finally caught one, and was about to show off to Grandma Li next to her, but Grandma Li sat on the ground with a desperate face: "It's over, these crops can't be saved." "What can you do, God, you are rushing to kill everything, and you don't give people a way to live....", the voice was sad, and Song Baozhu's heart trembled when he heard it.

Some took the lead, but the other villagers could no longer hold back, some were crying at the crops, some were staring blankly at the farmland, and some were kneeling in the ground and muttering to themselves.

Song Baozhu was scared.

"Grandma Li, what's wrong with you, don't be like this....", she tried to pull Grandma Li up with her little hands, Grandma Li's cloudy eyes looked at her, and suddenly stopped her from crying: "Child, you are going to suffer with it, my poor child..."

At this time, Song Zhizhong and Song Zhibei came over from the other side, and they brought Song Baozhu, who was at a loss, over. Song Baozhu was hugged by Song Zhizhong, his arms climbed his neck, and asked Song Zhizhong in a low voice: "Fifth brother, what happened to Grandma Li and those uncles and aunts?" Why are they so sad?

Song Zhizhong paused and touched her head: "It's okay, Grandma Li is too tired from work." Baozhu, I'll send you back, the sun is too big in the ground. "

He's thirteen years old, and he's been through those difficult years and knows how terrible those days were. If these crops can't be saved, the team will have no harvest, and the second half of the year will be even more difficult than those years.

He looked at his sister, who looked like a fairy child, and swore in his heart that if it really came to that point, he would rather starve to death himself than save food for his sister.

Song Baozhu obediently agreed.

In the evening, Song Dezhu and Wang Guifang also returned home with their five brothers. Qian Xiao'e came back in the afternoon because she was pregnant, and when they entered the door, Qian Xiao'e greeted her for dinner.

Song Baozhu has been studying in the space since returning home, and at this time he was called out to eat. On the dinner table, the polenta is boiled even thinner, and when it is served in a basin, it can almost show the figure of a person. A large pot of sweet potatoes and potatoes was also halved before.

Song Baozhu still has a bowl of thick white rice porridge and a few bird eggs fried in soybean oil.

Everyone at the table had heavy faces.

Wang Guifang took a sip of porridge and said to Qian Xiao'e: "In the future, except for you and Baozhu, we won't have to eat at night."

Qian Xiao'e was taken aback: "Mom, I'll forget it, it's okay if you don't eat at night."

"You're pregnant." Wang Guifang's face was ugly.

Song Baozhu was stunned, she opened her mouth in surprise and asked Wang Guifang: "Mom, why don't you eat dinner, you can't sleep at night when you don't eat dinner and you're hungry."

Wang Guifang coaxed her: "Of course you are a child, of course you will be hungry, we are adults, how can adults be hungry if you don't eat a meal, be good, drink porridge quickly."

Song Baozhu didn't believe it, how could anyone not eat and not be hungry. In the past, her parents, mothers and brothers would give her good things and say that they didn't like to eat them. Therefore, Song Baozhu was very skeptical of Wang Guifang's statement.

When she went to bed at night, she forced herself to hold back her sleepiness and pretended to sleep to eavesdrop on Wang Guifang and Song Dezhu. 

After listening to it, I realized that those insects in the field would cause everyone to be unable to harvest food, and without food, maybe everyone would be hungry in the second half of the year and next year.

Father, mother, and brother, they are not hungry, but they dare not eat, and they want to save food for the second half of the year and the first half of next year.

Song Baozhu was in a hurry, she had heard people in the village say that if there was not enough food, people would starve to death. "System, what to do, I don't want my parents, my brothers to starve."

"Host, you can learn how to make insecticides, and how to make insecticides is in the agronomy course."

Song Baozhu was pleasantly surprised; "Really, if you kill those bugs, everyone will have food to eat?"

The host replied firmly, "Yes." It originally thought that this was the ancient earth of China, but today it scanned those bugs and found that this is not the place. In its library, these bugs did not appear in ancient China, but only in another parallel time and space of the Great Xia Kingdom. After the cosmic calendar, the new human beings connected the data collected from two time and space points, and the reason why it was collected in its database was because this insect formed a serious insect infestation in the history of the Great Xia Kingdom, causing immeasurable losses.

This is neither the 6,000-year-old universe nor the homeland of the new human race, ancient China, and the system is a little at a loss.

"System, you're good, you're the best, I like you so much!" Song Baozhu was guaranteed by the system, and praised it in a milky voice.

The body in the depths of the system space twisted uncomfortably, and it was okay. It secretly thought to itself, even if it wasn't its hometown, it would barely be able to get by when it met a host like Song Baozhu.

The author has something to say:

The system that was praised by Song Baozhu was shy: the host is so cute
