Fleeing from famine! A rough hunter has a fox husband

Chapter 73 Locusts crossing the border

The locusts surged like dark clouds, and Shen Nuo clearly saw them flapping their brown wings, as if they were going to cover the entire sky.

"Protect the food."

I don't know who shouted loudly.

The people in Yunzhu Village had already covered the grain with oilcloth, so they couldn't help but feel afraid.

Other disaster victims also covered their own sacks for fear that the locusts would eat their food.

Soon, the locusts in the sky covered the sky, and Qin Yan held Shen Nuo in his arms:

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Everything will be fine."

Shen Nuo was not that scared, as he had already stored their food in the space, and now there were only some sundries and hay on the cart.

The locusts swooped down to the ground, like ruthless vultures, devouring everything around them at an astonishing speed.

Soon all the leaves on the trees and the weeds on the ground were swept away.

“Ahhhh…, my food…”

The people over there were desperately slapping the locusts on their carts.

However, the locusts were too numerous.

There were only a few bags of grain on the man's cart. The sacks on top broke at some point, and a large number of locusts came down and started eating.

Originally, there was only one bag of grain in the bag that was rotten. However, a group of people rushed over from somewhere and took advantage of the chaos to steal all his other grain.

"Stop it, that's my food."

"ah……."

The family started pushing and shoving with the group of people who were trying to steal the food, but the other side had more people and they had no chance of winning.

He was soon pushed to the ground and drowned in the crowd.

It was not enough for those people to rob one family, they also went on to rob other people around them.

The people around were driving their cars away quickly, and as they moved away, the villagers of Yunzhu Village fell into the sight of that group of people.

They still rushed over aggressively and tried to take away the food of the people in Yunzhu Village.

next second.

With a "clang" sound, the men of Yunzhu Village drew their swords one after another.

The house that was about to be robbed was Fang Chengping's. Fang Chengping immediately stood in front of his husband and chopped with his sword, cutting off half of the palm of the man who was trying to move the food.

"Ahhhhh..."

The man screamed in pain, and then he realized that the people from Yunzhu Village were obviously in the same group and all of them had swords in their hands.

Seeing that it was difficult to rob, they did not dare to conflict with the two hundred people. When the people behind the man saw this, they immediately ran away with the food they had just robbed.

The people in Yunzhu Village did not chase after them. There were so many elderly, weak, women and children here, and they could not abandon them.

They glanced at the person still crying on the ground and didn't pay any attention.

Locusts pass through the border and no grass grows.

In less than half a quarter of an hour, all the green around was eaten up.

The people who had already become numb now had despair in their eyes.

"What is God going to do?"

Someone couldn't help but look up at the sky and cry out, and the accent sounded like someone from the north.

[Yes, host, the north has been suffering from drought for a year, so they fled here.]

But I didn’t expect that there would be a severe drought here, and now there is not even grass to eat.

819 said these words calmly, like a bystander.

"Set off."

Lin Yuanshan's words interrupted everyone's sadness. Now was not the time to be sad. They had to find a place with water.

In the following days, they just ate dry biscuits and no one thought about cooking.

There wasn't even water to make herbal tea, and I could only drink a little water every day to stay alive.

After an unknown amount of time, they finally saw a city standing in front of them. Above the city were two big words written: Jincheng.

"We're here. We've arrived in Jincheng."

Someone made a sound of joy.

"Hurry up, let's try to get into the city and spend the night."

Lin Yuanshan was also happy. He put away the map and led everyone forward.

However, everyone was soon shocked by the scene before them.

There were disaster victims everywhere outside the city, the city gates were tightly closed, and there were many soldiers guarding on the city walls.

There were more than tens of thousands of people gathered outside the city, some standing and some sitting, all covered in filth.

Qin Liang tried to go up and ask someone questions, but no one paid any attention to him.

"Village Chief, what should we do? Does this mean that we can't enter the city?"

"Oh, don't worry, let's find someone else to ask."

He turned to the other side and wanted to ask the same question again.

Shen Nuo saw a woman looking for something everywhere, mumbling:

"Where is my child? Where is my child? Where is my child?"

She pushed the people around her, but no one paid any attention to her.

Some would even push her and curse her:

"Where did this crazy woman come from?"

“Where are my children?”

Even after being pushed down, she did not stop and kept looking for him.

Shen Nuo noticed a man holding a sack and walking towards the woods outside.

"Ayan, that man stole the woman's child just now, right?"

Qin Yan frowned:

"Do you want to help her?"

Shen Nuo thought about it and nodded.

Qin Yan immediately followed in his donkey cart. When he reached the woods, he drew his knife and walked quickly towards the man.

Since this place was not far away, Shen Nuo did not get out of the car and follow.

"what are you up to?"

When the man saw the tall figure blocking his way, he immediately became nervous.

His hands, which were already shaking with panic, trembled even more violently when he saw Qin Yan's sharp knife.

"If you don't want to die, hand over the child, otherwise..."

He said this in a sinister tone, and the man was so scared that he threw the sack to Qin Yan and ran away.

However, the next moment, there was a loud "bang".

Shen Nuo shot him directly in the back with the gun.

The man died with his eyes open, and Qin Yan didn't bother to care about such a person. He dug out the bullet with a knife and returned to Shen Nuo with the sack.

Shen Nuo reached out and opened the sack. Inside was a child about two or three years old, who was unconscious.

Shen Nuo sniffed his breath.

"Alive."

As he said this, he gave the child some water.

"Wow wow..."

The child woke up quickly and looked like he had fainted from hunger.

Shen Nuo made some bread and fed him half a bowl of it, then let Qin Yan drive back.

When I got there, I saw the little woman still stumbling around looking for it.

Shen Nuo lowered his head and asked the child in his arms:

"Is that your mother over there?"

"Uh-huh."

The child nodded, and Shen Nuo felt relieved.

And the woman also saw the people on the donkey cart.

She immediately ran over, crying uncontrollably:

"Wow, my child, my Xuan'er..."

Seeing that she was crying so hard, Shen Nuo gave the child to her:

"If you have nowhere to go, you can follow the people in our village. Although they won't take special care of you, at least others won't dare to steal children when they see so many people."
