"We still have five mus of rice paddies left. This is not even half of what we have sown. Please help , please," Old Madam Rong jumped up anxiously. The Li family was still better as Old Master Tong had worked in the field all day and sohow managed to harvest three mu of rice.
The Li family worked together with Yu Dong and the mammies and harvested most of the rice that they had sown. They only had a mu and a half left, which was not a big loss but her family had five mu of rice left!
"Old Madam Rong, it is not that we do not want to help you but we cannot help you any more than this. We also have families and children, if we get bitten and get infected, who will help us?" One of the won said as she wiped her hands and ran out of the field.
"She is right. The locusts are this close already, if we do not leave then we are only asking for death," said another woman as she stopped working and threw the sickle on the side and rushed after the first woman.
"Who can you bla? Your family has so many people. If you had listened to Madam Yu and Village Head Gu, then you would have harvested the rice sown in your field by now!" Soone shouted at the Rong family mbers who were begging them to help their family.
The Rong family acted dismissive because of what happened to Rong Xi. But who could be blad? That woman courted death and died. Why were they acting as if the villagers owed them sothing?
The Li family was the sa. Fortunately at least one of them had a decent head on his shoulder or else they would have suffered just as much of a big loss as the Rong family.
"No! We cannot wait anymore!" Village Head Gu shouted as she saw the locusts getting close to the entrance of the village. "The locusts have already attacked the Big Mountain Village! We can no longer stay outside, everyone run to the main house!"
"Village Head Gu co with !" Yu Dong shouted as she caught hold of the elderly woman. The main house was too far and Village Head Gu had bad knees, she wouldn't be able to run that far.
Thus, Yu Dong dragged Village Head Gu to her closest house.
As for the rice that was left to be harvested it could only be abandoned.
"Co back! Co back and help us!" Old Madam Rong shouted but no one looked back at her. Who asked her to sleep?
"Pei! Acting as if we owe you sothing. We are already kind enough that we have helped you till now. The children went to knock on your door last night two tis but you didn't open the door, who are you acting pitiful for?" One of the won spat on the ground.
"That's right, your husband even called the children noisy and asked them to go away. Who can you bla but him? If you want to show your might on soone, then show it on him," another woman snapped at Old Madam Rong, not liking how she was talking to them.
With that, they turned on their feet rushed inside the main house of the village and closed the doors behind them.
Old Madam Rong trembled in the middle of the paddies, she turned to look at her husband and slapped him hard.
"It's you! You are the disaster star! If not for you then I still would have a daughter and my rice would have been harvested! Go on and harvest! We cannot go back without harvesting another three mu of paddies."
"Harvest? You want us to harvest the rice in such a situation?" Little Xing, who was pregnant, stood up with his hands supporting his belly. "I am not doing it! I am still with a child. If I get infected then the child will also die."
With that he turned on his heels and walked away, the rest of the rs wanted to do the sa but they were stopped by Old Master Rong.
"Move your hands for ! Move them!"
On the other hand, Chen Mi who was peeking through the cracks of the window muttered, "He is one ruthless r."
"The locusts are bigger than the last ti," Old Madam Yu muttered worriedly while she, Old Madam Fang along with Village Head Gu peeked out of the sh window that was made from fine iron threads.
"The cluster also seems larger," Old Madam Fang stated with her brows furrowed. "Fortunately, Dong Dong was wise enough to grow the vegetables and fruits in the greenhouse or the damage would be really great."
Far away, they heard soone scream.
"It sounds like Old Master Rong. It seems like the crazy Old Madam Rong is keeping her family on the fields," Xiao Hua pressed his ear on the sh window while watching the locusts smash against the sh wires. Seeing that they couldn't get inside, Xiao Hua made a face and taunted, "Haha, you cannot hurt ."
Shen Li looked at the childish r and turned to look at Yu Dong as if silently asking—— is this the r that you fell for?
Yu Dong looked away. She had quite a mix in her house throwing in a little crazy flavour wasn't a big problem.
"She is really crazy," Village Head Gu agreed with Xiao Hua. She warned them not to stay behind but Old Madam Rong ignored her warning and pushed her family to harvest the rice. Now she was certain that the woman not only lost her rice but her family mbers were sure to get infected.

"The locusts are so fierce, Old Madam Rong is rather brave," Ye Liu remarked while silently reading a book that Yu Dong brought for him.
"That is why we need to catch these fierce locusts."
The entire family and Village Head Gu: (?????? ?? ???? )
