People around them also lit fires and caught locusts, preparing to eat them first! If they can't die of eating, it would be better to go home and catch some for their families to eat later than to starve them to death.
People who have eaten it all think it tastes very good and has a meaty taste.
"Grandpa, I finally found you!" A man in his twenties pushed aside the crowd and hugged Changsun and rushed to the white-haired old man beside him.
The white-haired old man was eating happily. When he saw his grandson coming back, he handed one to his grandson and said, "It's delicious! Try it!"
"Grandpa, this is a locust, it's not something you can eat. You have been out of your house for two days, and everyone is looking for you. There is no food at home, but there is wild vegetables. Even if the grandson starves to death, he will give his own portion to his grandfather." A seven-foot man, howling and crying because he is unable to support his family, and his eyes are red. He knows that his grandfather ran away from home to save some food.
When Changsun Chong heard this, he felt sad. It was like animals in nature. In winter or disaster year, those old animals would quietly leave themselves in order not to drag down the group.
Thinking about his previous life, he had never suffered. The biggest disaster he experienced was that during the Wenchuan earthquake, he traveled there, went deep into the dangerous places, and was isolated from his two friends. For the last piece of bread, he gave it to him and left it. In the end, he divided it into three parts. Since then, he knew the value of food.
At that time, they were in the disaster area and could not contact each other. The three of them saw a lot of separations from life and death, and touched the softest part in his heart.
"Brother, don't worry, you see, everyone is eating!" Changsun Chong persuaded him, and saw his face full of food and sent him a handful.
The young man saw that everyone was eating with relish and didn't eat it to death, so he ate a few of them half-believingly.
"Grandpa, this is really delicious. You are waiting here, I will catch locusts, we will roast more, wrap it in clothes, and give it to our family." The young man was bold. After preliminary examination, he had nothing to eat and it tasted very fragrant, so he thought of sharing it with his family.
Everyone agreed. After eating, they went to catch locusts one after another. A group of people were burning locusts, and the division of labor was clear. Some people hurried back to their pockets, asked their families to come out and catch locusts in their own fields. Maybe they could save the crops in the fields.
Erzhuyou went to grab most of his pockets, and the three of them were ready to go home.
At this time, dozens of refugees gathered by the river to make fires and burn locusts, which attracted the attention of passing horsemen.
"What are you doing!" several dusty horsemen asked loudly.
However, everyone was busy burning locusts, and no one paid attention to them. Several people dismounted and walked over with big strides. Seeing that everyone was burning locusts, their faces changed.
"Catch them all for me. These people are bold and seldom, and they actually eat locust gods. No wonder locusts are so powerful this year. It is because you guys are against the peace of the world, killing innocent people and offending the gods!" One of the officers and soldiers said nonsense, killing a few locusts, and actually saying that they are killing innocent people. Is it a mother locust, his father is a locust, or is his whole family a locust?
These people came out and walked around, trying to find a solution to the locusts, but there were too many locusts and they were thinking that they could not go back to submit the job. They were lucky to meet these unlucky guys, so if they didn’t ask them to find someone to do it!
When the disaster victims around him heard these officers and soldiers say this, they widened their eyes in horror, not knowing what to do!
When Changsun Chong saw these officials preparing to arrest people, especially when he saw the disdainful faces of the people who were talking just now, he vaguely saw the smile and guessed that he was eighty or ninety percent. Changsun Chong told them to eat locusts. Besides, even if his identity is arrested, as long as his father knows, he will be able to come out soon. However, these ordinary civilians will be put into prison and will be skinned even if they don’t die. He does not want these unarmed people to suffer.
"I told these people that locusts can be eaten. If you want to catch them, catch me!" Changsun Chong rubbed his hands and mouth, preparing to take the blame alone.
"It's not my young master! It's me!" The master had something to do, so of course the servants took it. Anyway, he had done a lot of such a slander before. This time he was willing to take the blame for the young master because the young master was very responsible this time, in order to protect other innocent people.
"I said it!" Erzhu stood in front, he couldn't let the young master and his brother have something to do.
Dazhu lay down next to Erzhu's ear and whispered: "You are quick to walk, hurry up and tell the master that the young master has been caught by the officers and soldiers. Looking at the service of these officers and soldiers, they will probably be sent to the Zuo Jinwu Guard. I am beside the young master!"
Second Zhu thought about it, so he couldn't wait all of them, so someone had to report the news.
"Young Master, Erzhu will inform the master!" After saying that, he rushed out of the crowd, rose and fell, found the horses, and rushed into Chang'an City.
"You two are chasing me!" The leader ordered the two behind him to chase him, "Since they admit it, tie them up!"
Changsun Chong felt it didn't matter. He could stab him to death in broad daylight!
Dazhu was jealous and protected Changsun Chong and said, "The master in our family is Changsun Wuji. This is our young master Changsun Chong! You are so bold, don't you want to live anymore?"
"Wowhahaha..." The leader couldn't help laughing, "You are the number one playboy in Chang'an. You're so laughing so hard. Look at his chilling look, you're so fat! Hurry up, tie me up!"
It would be fine if Dazhu escaped by himself, but the young master would not do it.
The victims and farmers around me wanted to plead with each other, but when they thought about it, this official was not a good person, and he would lose his skin even if he didn't die. He could only watch and dare not speak out.
The leader tied Changsun Chong and Dazhu, put them on the horse, and let Changsun Chong and Dazhu lie on the horse's back and gallop towards Chang'an City.
This was a hard work of Changsun Chong. He lay on the horse's back and almost spit out the place. He was dizzy and starry-eyed. I don't know how long it took, but finally heard that Changsun Chong was thrown to the ground.
"Young Master, are you okay?" Dazhu stood up shakingly, but his back was tied, so he couldn't convince Changsun Chong.
Changsun Chong felt very uncomfortable, covered in fat meat, lying on the ground pretending to be a dead dog!
Dazhu rolled and crawled to Changsun, cried and said, "Young Master, wake up! It's all useless, let the young master suffer aggrieved!"
Changsun Chong felt his throat ignite. When he heard Dazhu's voice, he felt that his oily and fat body quality was really bad, and he couldn't do it without losing weight.
"I...I'm fine!" Changsun Chong was angry. If he had known this, he would have brought the locusts home to eat.
"I can't die!" said the leader contemptuously, "Please put them in jail, and I'll report to General Cheng now!"
"Mr. Han, what did these two people do?" The little official who came out bowed his head and asked with a smile. Obviously, the official position of Han is not low!
Han Qiang bowed and said proudly: "I have caught the culprit that caused this year's locust disaster!"
Bangbang, the dull footsteps approached quickly. Han Qiang, who was about to brag, was pinned to his shoulders. His strong body, seven feet tall, instantly became shorter.
"Okay, you Han Qiang boy, what are you talking about!" The person who spoke was a man with a strong figure, round waist and broad back, dark skin, big beard, and about forty years old.
Han Qiang, who was very stinky just now, suddenly had a scalded pheasant in the city, with his tail stomped and said respectfully with a bitter face: "General Cheng, the official went out to inspect the people's situation today. When he saw someone eating locust gods, he thought that there were so many locusts today, so it must be that the locust gods were angry."
Cheng Yaojin's two thick eyebrows, like a caterpillar, kept twisting, his face was ferocious, and cursing: "It's all farts. When I was in Wagang Village, I didn't eat anything. I had eaten many locusts, and I didn't see any locust disasters at that time. I'm still alive and not being killed by the gods! People don't have food, so of course I find a way to find something to eat. Eating locusts is also very hungry!"
The Changsun ran in tears, and the heroes saw the same thing!
Seeing General Cheng say this, Han Qiang kept making a fuss and said, "General Cheng is saying that I will let the person go now!"
"Young master, that big man is Cheng Yaojin!" Dazhu said gritting his teeth. Thinking that the young master was beaten to death by Cheng Yaojin's son, he looked at Cheng Yaojin with bad eyes.
Cheng Yaojin? That's an acquaintance. Changsun Chong said weakly: "Uncle Cheng's subordinates are so brave!" The words were sarcastic!
Cheng Yaojin was surprised and turned around and saw Changsun Chong tied to the ground like a dead dog.
Cheng Yaojin was shocked. Isn’t this fat man Changsun Wuji’s turtle son? He raised his big foot and kicked Han Qiang hard on the butt, cursing: “Bastard, why don’t you loosen the ties to Master Changsun quickly!”
The cold sweat on Han Qiang's head was whizzing down. It was really Young Master Changsun! He quickly knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Changsun, and said, "I have no eyes, so please forgive me!"
"I won't let it loose!" Changsun Chong said gritting his teeth. His stomach is still uncomfortable now, as if the heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys have changed positions.
Han Qiang quickly untied Changsun Chong, and Dazhu came up and wanted to beat Han Qiang.
Cheng Yaojin was thinking about beating the little bastard of the Changsun family like this. The old bastard of the Changsun family is a protector. A few days ago, several of his incompetent sons beat Changsun Chong. Now his subordinates have tied Changsun Chong up again. Could it be that Cheng Yaojin and Changsun Wuji are fighting this year!
"Nephew, why are you eating locusts in the outer city?" Cheng Yaojin didn't want his subordinates to be punished, so he began to change the topic.
