212 The Locust Plague Is Coming(1/2)

Plus some fabrics sent by my sister-in-law.

The total value is probably close to three taels of silver.

Yesterday, our family bought five taels of grain from the Song family at a low price, and today my sister-in-law sent back a gift of three taels of silver.

This is really——

"Oh, sister-in-law, just keep it!"

"This is for my aunt, for Xiaohu, not for you."

"Also, there are some at Second Sister-in-law's place, too." Qin Xiaoyao took Sister-in-law Qin's hand and put a small silver lock into her hand.

Sister-in-law Qin's face turned red.

"Then I'll accept it shamelessly." He said a little embarrassed.

When Mrs. Zhang was still here, she actually often worked with Mrs. Zhang to embarrass her sister-in-law.

now--

Well, luckily my sister-in-law didn't argue with her and was so kind to her.

She will have to be nicer to her sister-in-law in the future.

"Keep it, keep it safe!" Qin Xiaoyao said with a smile.

After talking to Sister-in-law Qin for a while, I went to find Sister-in-law Qin.

After giving the other silver lock to Qin's second sister-in-law, Qin Xiaoyao left the Qin family.

After returning home, Qin Xiaoyao told Song Que about Qin Xiaohu.

"You don't even know how tender that baby's face looks."

"You look at me so much that I want to reach out and pinch you."

Thinking of the scene when he saw the baby, Qin Xiaoyao is still a little excited.

That baby looks like her father.

From now on, she will definitely have thick eyebrows and big eyes, just like her father, who is a tall man.

Song Que glanced at his wife.

"With your strength, he can't resist your pinching." He replied with a smile.

Qin Xiaoyao then suppressed the smile on his face.

"That's right. I didn't even dare to touch him, for fear of waking him up."

"I heard that those kind of baby babies like to cry the most. They will definitely cry when they wake up. When the time comes, it will definitely be difficult for my sister-in-law to coax her."

Song Que smiled again and did not answer.

"It's better to be a little older. When he can walk and call me sister-in-law, I will pick him up and play with him at home."

"When the time comes, you can make whatever you want." Thinking of the scene where he brought a little dumpling and had fun at home, Qin Xiaoyao had a look of longing in his eyes.

A little dumpling, calling her "Sister-in-law" and "Sister-in-law", how cute.

Seeing this, Song Que smiled again and shook his head.

He had never experienced it before, so his wife found it new.

It would be strange if I don't find it annoying when I bring my children with me.

Ask him how he knew?

Well, he didn't miss Yun'er and Ye'er.

However, if it were their own child, maybe it would be different...

Thinking of this, Song Que also had more longing in his eyes.

noon.

People buying water came one after another to the Song family yard.

Qin Xiaoyao and Song Que were collecting money and issuing license plates when suddenly——

A small and chaotic sound sounded, and then the clear sky began to turn dark.

"What?!" someone exclaimed.

"It's going to rain?!" someone else said in surprise.

"Ah, no! It's locusts, locusts are coming!" The voice quickly turned into panic.

As soon as the sound fell, an overwhelming army of locusts came over.

Those standing in the yard were quickly attacked.

The big trees above Qin Xiaoyao and Song Que were instantly covered with locusts.

You can even clearly hear the sound of locusts eating leaves.

And she and Song Que were not spared either. A large number of locusts flew around and pounced on them.

The impact caused severe pain to the person.

After falling on people, they will crawl around and even bite.

People in the yard soon started shouting and swatting at the locusts on their bodies frantically.

But there are so many locusts, how is it possible to photograph them all?

Some of them were so skinny that they were almost knocked down by locusts.

For a time, there were screams of terror everywhere.

Even though Qin Xiaoyao had experienced the apocalypse, he was also shocked by this scene.

Not daring to stay any longer, Qin Xiaoyao protected Song Que.

He quickly pulled Song Que and ran toward the house.

While running, he also yelled at the people in the yard.

"Don't worry about anything, go first and hide in my main room!"

People quickly came back to their senses, and immediately ignored the buckets and other things they brought, and hurried towards the main room of the Song family.

When Qin Xiaoyao saw this, he finally felt relieved.

He quickly took Song Que into the house and closed the doors and windows.

Countless locusts swatted at the doors and windows, making a "cracking" sound.

Seeing that Song Que's face was a little pale, Qin Xiaoyao quickly took two steps forward.

Gave Song Que a hug.

"It's fine."

"Next, let's seal the doors and windows with cloth so that the locusts can't get in." He consoled her.

After being hugged by his wife, Song Que sobered up a lot.

Yes, the locust plague brought back memories of his past life.

It reminded him of the painful past when he was in a thatched shed in Xiashui Village in his previous life.

At that time, he and Ye'er were isolated and helpless.

The thatched shed was leaking air from all directions, and a large number of locusts burrowed into the thatched shed and pounced on him and Ye'er.

If they didn't struggle and kill the locusts on their bodies, they might become food for locusts like the livestock in the village.

Even at night, when the locusts stopped flying around, he and Ye'er still had to endure the harassment and bites of a small number of locusts.

And listen to the sound of locusts eating the thatch on the roof.

Yes, the extremely hungry locusts didn't even spare the dry thatch.

At that time, what he was most worried about was that the locusts would eat up the grass shed at home.

In this case, he and Ye'er would not even have a place to cover themselves.

In the end, the locusts did not eat the thatched shed completely, but they also gnawed every bit of it.

He didn't know how he managed to survive with Ye'er at that time...

It's been so long since it happened, it's already a lifetime ago.

He thought he had almost forgotten.

But now when he faced these locusts again, he realized that those memories had already penetrated deeply into his bone marrow.

Thinking of this, Song Que hugged Qin Xiaoyao back hard.

"Ye'er, Ye'er over there -" he said.

Qin Xiaoyao was stunned.
To be continued...
