Chapter 25 Climbing in

Gu Yezhou didn't look at her and said to the two brothers Ning: "You can help me harvest it! Take it back and put it in the house! Hurry! I just kept my word! Hurry!"

"Okay! Since sir said that, then take it!" Both Boss Ning and Boss Ning said, "Then let's go back and get the sickle."

"It's too late!" Gu Yezhou glanced at the closer "dark clouds" and said anxiously, "Use a hatchet!"

The two went to collect firewood, and the one with the hatchet on their backs pulled it out and started harvesting with the hatchet. However, the hatchet was chopping firewood, and it was really not easy to harvest rice. The two simply threw down the hatchet and straightened it up with their hands. Because the rice fields were already dry and cracked, they could pull out the whole plant with force.

When Gu Yezhou saw Sister Ning standing there and was about to cry, he said angrily: "Why are you watching the fun? Bundle the rice on the ground and carry it back!"

Just now, Gu Yezhou's angry scolding made Ning Sanjie dare not speak out to persuade him. Seeing that the two brothers were helping with the harvest, there was no way to do this. He gritted his teeth and began to collect the rice that was poured on the ground, cut wild vines and tied them into two large bundles, picked up the hatchet on the ground, cut a branch and trimmed it, and inserted two large bundles of rice to return to the village. Gu Yezhou called again: "Wait!"

Sister Ning didn't look back and stood there waiting for him to say.

"You go and tell Mo Huaixiang and ask her to help me ask someone to help me harvest, and just say I beg her!"

Ning Sanmei didn't say anything and walked quickly towards the village as if she was flying.

As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the village, I saw many villagers standing there watching the fun. When I saw her carrying two large loads of rice, I was very surprised: "Oh, third sister, why are you harvesting now? The rice has not grown yet!"

Ning Sanmei was not in the mood to tell them about this. She carried rice through the villagers watching the fun and walked towards her home. Many people asked her about this along the way, but she ignored her. It was not until she passed by the downstairs of Uncle Mo's house that she stopped and called out, "Sister Huaixiang!"

Mo Huaixiang leaned down from the upper floor: "San sister, have you caught up with the gentleman? - Oh, why are you carrying rice? Mr. really harvesting rice?"

"Well, I have something to tell you when you come down!"

Mo Huaixiang ran downstairs, rushed through the yard, opened the bamboo fence, touched the rice ears on the end of the load, and many of them were still half-shrunk. She asked her: "It's really harvested? It's not yet grown! What's going on! Why don't you advise sir?"

Ning Sanmei was about to cry: "I advised me, but the sir didn't listen and even scolded me..."

"Why did sir do this? Did he do something evil?"

"I don't know, the gentleman said he asked you to help him get some help to harvest. He said he begged you."

"Please help him harvest?" Mo Huaixiang said anxiously, "How can I harvest now!"

"I can't persuade him. He has already told my two brothers to help him harvest, but he said that there are not enough staff and asked you to help. I'm begging you."

Mo Huaixiang sighed: "Okay, the sir never asks for help. Since he has spoken, it is his own land. He can do whatever he likes. If you ask for help, I will help you. Anyway, my parents are idle."

Mo Huaixiang turned around and headed towards the stilt hut under the stilt house: "Brother Du! You guys come out!"

The chief engineer Du Bo and three other long-term workers came out soon: "What's the matter?"

"Go to Mr. Gu's field and help harvest rice immediately!"

"How many months have you been harvesting the rice? The rice hasn't grown yet!"

"Stop talking nonsense! Just go quickly if you want to go, the gentleman has begged me! Hurry up!"

"Oh!" The four long-time workers didn't dare to ask too much, so they hurried back and took out the sickle.

Mo Huaixiang urged again: "Hurry up, run! Don't delay!"

The long-term workers rushed away quickly. Mo Huaixiang thought about it, but she was still worried and followed her.

Ning Sanmei then carried the load and walked home. When she got home, she carried the rice to the second floor. Her parents were eating with shepherd's purse cakes. When she saw her carrying a load of rice, she was very surprised and asked what was going on. Sister Ning Sanmei was too lazy to explain, so she put the rice into the empty warehouse, then threw away the branch, and took another shoulder pole and rope to tie the rice. She went downstairs and left. Only the two elders looked at each other and didn't know what was wrong.

The villagers at the entrance of the village stood there, staring blankly at the three siblings of the Ning family and the long-term workers of the Mo Huaixiang family who carried the rice that had not yet grown before, and they all laughed and said that the sir must be crazy.

Finally, they saw Gu Yezhou wearing a round neck, green collar, big sleeves, long robe, carrying a load of rice, looking embarrassed, followed by the Ning brothers and sisters and several long-time workers, all carrying rice loads. It was obvious that they had already harvested them. They hurriedly met with concern and regret, and smacked their lips and said, "Oh, sir, this rice has not yet..."

As soon as he said this, a child shouted in a sharp voice: "There is a sound in the sky!"

Is there a sound in the sky?

Several villagers around all looked up at the sky. There was indeed a buzzing sound in the sky, which was very dull and weird. Then, they saw that the large dark cloud was not far from them, and soon, it turned into a vast and overwhelming sight.

Gu Yezhou smiled helplessly: "Okay, you will know immediately why I am in a hurry to harvest! Go quickly! The locusts are coming!" As he said that, he walked away like a flying man.

"Ouch!" A villager screamed, "Grasshopper! What a big grasshopper!" He slapped a big locust with red head, black back, long legs and big wings on his shoulder.

However, then a few grasshoppers fell on his head and on his body. He quickly slapped it. But more and more grasshoppers fell down. Because the black clouds had already reached their heads.

Just like his situation, the villagers watching at the entrance of the village were covered with grasshoppers. They immediately discovered that the dark cloud in the sky was really not a dark cloud, but a grasshopper flying with its wings covering the sky and flapping its wings!

The villagers know that grasshoppers can fly, but ordinary grasshoppers can't fly very far. This is the first time they have seen a locust that can fly for such a long distance in the air. They are all shocked.

It was not until the children were so scared that the villagers became panicked and quickly ran to their homes. But after just a few steps, they heard a villagers screaming, "Oh, grasshoppers are eating crops!"

Suddenly, all the villagers seemed to have a muffled thunder above their heads. They immediately turned around and looked at the rice fields on both sides. Sure enough, the sparse rice grains in the dry rice fields were already covered with locusts, and they were biting the rice ears and leaves in a row!

At the same time, more locusts fell down in the air, and their feet were soon covered with locusts! Any step they could trample to death. The sound of piles of grasshoppers being trampled under their feet was chilling.

However, they no longer cared about all this because they had already seen that the locusts were really eating rice! Even the ears and leaves were eaten! So, these villagers became in chaos, some ran to the ground, some ran to their homes, and some were spinning in place and didn't know what to do.

The villagers who ran to their own fields saw the rice in the fields covered with grasshoppers and were eating rice ears. They were panicked and anxious, and hurried into the rice fields, slapped the grasshoppers on the rice with their hands, and some took off their clothes and patted them.

However, the locusts flew away where they slapped, and when they continued to slapped the ones below, the locusts were full again.

They were still rushing the locusts in vain, but they were useless. Some began to pluck the rice in the ground and compete with the locusts for food. However, it was too late to time. How much rice could be held in their arms? Now it was too late to tie up and carry the load. The rice running back was densely packed with grasshoppers. After plucking down, the new ones fell on them. Before they could reach the doorstep of their house, the rice they were hugging was gnawed to the bare bars.

At the last moment when the locusts arrived, Gu Yezhou, Ning brother and sister, and Mo family's long-time worker finally carried the last load of rice into the stilt house. Because there were no leachers and rods, there were so many that almost all the rooms in the Ning family were filled with them. When the locusts were terrifyingly rushing down, the family hid in the kitchen with Gu Yezhou.

Before escaping into the kitchen, Gu Yezhou checked all the rooms containing rice and closed all the doors and windows without any closed! Then he hid in the kitchen with confidence and closed the door.

The family hid in the kitchen, listening to piles of locusts falling on the roof and on the window, crawling against the window paper outside the window, the rustling sound was creepy.

Suddenly, Ning Sanmei screamed and pointed out the gap under the door: "Come in! They are crawling in!"

Sure enough, many locusts crawled in through the crack in the door. Gu Yezhou rushed over and stepped on the ground. The sound of grasshoppers shattering. Boss Ning and others followed him to help and quickly wiped out all the grasshoppers coming in. However, they soon discovered that there were too many gaps in the Ning family's kitchen, and locusts came in everywhere, so they divided the responsibilities and killed the grasshoppers who crawled in.

Gu Yezhou was very nervous and asked Ning Sanmei: "Will the locusts crawl in your room that contains rice?"

Ning Sanmei's father said first: "No, sir. Don't worry, the other rooms are not like kitchens, they are installed. It was more than ten years ago when the family was relatively wealthy. The walls were installed. They were very strong and did not leak air. The windows also have thief boards, which were pulled down. Locusts cannot enter!"

The Ning brothers and sisters also nodded and said yes. Gu Yezhou was a little relieved. Now he had no way to check. The locusts had blocked the outside. If the door was opened and the locusts came in, the rice would be finished. Now he could only leave it to fate.

PS: I finally left the computer today and went out to purchase New Year's goods. I couldn't buy anything any later. It took several hours to transport a lot of things home. I ran three times upstairs and downstairs before I finished moving them. I was so exhausted. But I found that I forgot to buy firecrackers. It seemed that I would have to go there tomorrow.

I sat down and continued to write. I watched the collection and clicked on recommendations and increased a lot. I was very happy. My mood for typing has also improved a lot. Continue to recommend and collect!
