Chapter 7 Taking the lead in eating locusts

***** As always, please recommend and collect. Click here to give you some support! Thank you!***

After Changsun rushed back, he asked Xiao Mantou and Xiao Baozi to catch locusts for him. The two little girls were so scared that they were so scared that they refused to obey.

"Young Master, Master Locusts cannot be offended. If you catch locusts, you will be retaliated. Then all the locusts will fly to our house." Xiao Mantou shook his head to stop the young master from being confused.

When they saw the two of them being so scared, they knew that they could not do anything. They put on their clothes and took their personal guard Dazhu. Erzhu went out of the city in person, found a tight sack, and prepared to go outside the city to catch locusts.

It was fine in Chang'an City, but a few locusts flew over, but not far from the city gate, I found that there were more and more locusts. The originally green and lush crops, now the locusts are eaten by the locusts, and the leaves are almost gnawed.

"Big Pillar, two Pillars, catch me!" Changsun Chong took out a handkerchief, covered his face, led the way, walked into the fields on the roadside to start catching locusts.

Many people on the roadside saw the strange behavior of the three of them. How could they catch locusts in the sky? Many farmers were heartbroken when they saw the crops in the fields being eaten. Although the court reduced taxes and exempted fees, the particles were not harvested and they would starve to death.

These farmers watched the locusts act recklessly in despair, wishing they could kill these disasters, but there were so many disasters that they could not catch them!

There are too many locusts, plus the big pillar, Erzhu and the two were very good at it. They grabbed most of their pockets in a short while!

When Changsun Chong was about to return home, he saw that there were many people gathering on the road, all honest farmers. He had an idea. Instead of convinceing them to eat locusts, it would be better to let them eat locusts by themselves.

The people are the best salesmen, one spreads to ten, ten spreads to hundreds, and they don’t believe it. Everyone starts to catch locusts, and there are so many of these locusts!

"Dazhu, is there any water source nearby?" Changsun Chong was preparing to speak on the spot today, teaching them how to eat these locusts.

Dazhu looked up and looked around, not very clear.

An old man in his sixties and seventies walked over with a crutch and said, "There is a stream over there! But I want to ask, why are you catching locusts?"

Dazhu and Erzhu didn't know either, and looked at Changsun Chong in unison!

Changsun shouted "cough cough" twice, cleared his throat, and said, "If these locusts eat crops, we will eat these locusts! It's just a meat dish!"

The old man with a white-haired "thump" and fell to the ground. Changsun rushed forward and helped him up and said, "Uncle, are you okay?"

When the white-haired old man recovered, he begged, "Locust Gods, Gods punished us. As long as these gods are full and drink enough, they will leave."

Changsun Chong's facial muscles are stiff, and the locust has become a god now. Today he needs to give these ignorant and uncivilized people a course on scientific understanding of locusts.

"Uncle, these locusts are not gods, nor are they punished us by God. After all, most people in the world are kind. Although there are some people who commit crimes, the court has punished them instead of God. As for these locusts, they were just locusts born last year. They had a severe drought last year. They did not snow in winter today, and they were warmer than before. They did not freeze the locusts in the soil to death, so there are so many locusts now." Changsun Chong explained, hoping that they could be unfavorable to go to the army today and convince these people.

After hearing this, the people around him thought Changsun Chong was right.

"Actually, I think locusts are not gods. I remember that I used to wear locusts on a wire and roast them on the fire, which was quite fragrant." A younger man remembered what happened when he was a child.

"I've eaten it, it tastes pretty good, it's also meat, but it's not much oil or water!"

"Yeah, it tastes good!"

When Changsun Chong heard this, he felt that it was not difficult to convince them, and said, "I also heard from an old man that God has a good life. Now that the people have no food to eat, they will starve to death, so they can naturally eat locusts! If you don't dare to eat, we will go to the open space next to the stream in front and I will eat it first. If the locusts are gods, I will kill me on the spot! Anyway, our family has no food and they are almost starving to death."

Everyone's eyes turned around Changsun Chong's body, and they all showed a look of disbelief. Who told Changsun Chong, a guy, was wearing a coarse cloth clothes, but he was white and fat, and he didn't look like he was starving no matter how he did nothing and was waiting to die!

Dazhu and Erzhu opened their eyes to Changsun Chong and were very embarrassed, so they turned their heads to look elsewhere.

Changsun Chong smiled embarrassedly and said something to save the situation: "I am hungry and swollen, and I am weak!"

Ignoring the contemptuous look behind him, Changsun rushed forward and arrived at the stream, preparing to clean the locusts in the bag, but there was too much meat on his stomach and he couldn't squat.

"I'm also saying I'm fat, who are you lying to!"

"Yes, my face is red and full of blood!"

Everyone pointed at Changsun Chong.

Although Dazhu and Erzhu thought the young master's behavior was very strange and he wanted to eat locusts, he was very puzzled, but he did not allow others to point fingers at his young master.

"Young Master, I'll do it!" Dazhu took it over.

"No need, don't wash it anymore. Big pillar, go pick up firewood, second pillar, go to make fire." Don't wash it anymore, after the fire, the bacteria will be burned to death, and people will not be killed.

The big pillars and the two pillars acted separately, and soon the fire was set up. Changsun Chong brought the open fire to another pile, leaving behind a low fire without flames, took some locusts, buried them in the fire, and buried them several piles. After a while, the fragrance of meat wafted out of the fire.

Although these people did not lose food at home, they drank porridge every day. They didn’t remember when they last ate meat. When they smelled the meat, they sniffed. No matter what kind of meat it was, they were all meat!

Changsun Chong pulled out the locusts burned outside and tender inside from the fire. The meaty smell was even more intense, and the onlookers were saliva.

When it got a little colder, Changsun picked up a few and took them in his hand and patted them. He blew off the ashes on it. He was about to put them on himself, but was stopped by Dazhu.

"Young master, I'll eat first. It's okay, you can eat again!" The young master wants to eat randomly. If there is a big deal, the two brothers will not have a good end. They are the sons of the Changsun family and slaves for generations. They will prosper and prosper with the Changsun family, and they will lose both!

Dazhu, Erzhu, had no choice but to pick up the locusts on the ground, stuffed them into his mouth, suppressed his nausea and vomiting, and ate with his teeth.

The two guards were very loyal. He knew that it was okay to eat the locust, but these two brothers didn't know it. From their expressions of death, they really sacrificed their lives. Just based on their performance today, such two people are worthy of his Changsun Chong's reuse.

When the people around were about to watch the drought thunder fell from the sky and struck these bold and arbitrary people, Dazhu, Erzhu, and Changsun Chong ate with great pleasure, and his expression changed from the original disgusting to the taste of eating.

When the first wave of burnt locusts was eaten, the three people had no other conditions except for the black grass ash on their mouths.

"Brother, this locust is quite delicious. I haven't eaten meat for half a month!" Erzhu knew that this thing was not poisonous and tasted pretty good, so he smiled and said, "Catch more later and make it for parents to eat!"

Dazhu nodded. Over the days, the master has rarely eaten some meat, let alone those who are servants.

Everyone saw that Changsun Chong and the other three were eating with relish. Some people who did not believe in evil were attracted by the fragrance and caught locusts and prepared to try it. Even if they were punished by God, they would still eat it. It would be better than starving to death!

The white-haired old man took a few burnt locusts from Erzhu's hand and placed them in his mouth with only one shriveled front teeth left, and chewed them carefully.

"Yeah, it tastes good!" The old man with white hair ate a few, got some of them himself and threw them into the fire. He felt that he was already sixty or seventy years old and had enough money to live, so he would eat his fill first.

Others were also swallowing saliva. Compared with hunger, the punishment of the gods was temporarily thrown behind their heads.

"Old man, you have bad teeth. You can put these locusts in water to clean them, then dry them, grind them into powder on graphite, make them into cakes or make them with wild vegetables into a treasure. This is suitable for you to eat. If there is oil at home, fry them. Oh, it won't be delicious!" Changsun Chong saw the old man eating, his mouth kept squirming, and he couldn't bear it.
