After those locusts came into contact with the thick smoke floating in the air, they quickly avoided it. If they could not avoid it, they would die.
The situation was reversed. The army of locusts that originally wanted to eat away at human beings, after the arrival of Xia Yuanqiu and Zhu Yan, the formation as strong as an iron wall immediately collapsed. The army of locusts that survived the disaster began to retreat and run away. In the blink of an eye, the sky that was originally covered by the clouds was shattered. The sun is bright again.
Looking at the black locusts running away, Xia Yuanqiu still couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body.
Dean Bai led everyone out of the inner room: "Fortunately you arrived in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."
Xia Yuanqiu extinguished the torch in his hand, pointed at the insect corpses on the ground and said, "We came all the way and didn't see locusts attacking other houses. Why are they staring at Jie's family alone? There must be some reason for this."
Xie Chen shook his head: "I don't know why, these locusts want to bite my father, even if it's his body, they won't let go."
Xia Yuanqiu looked at Mrs. Xie who was being supported by someone, and asked: "Mrs. Xie, has Uncle Xie done anything strange recently? Has he said anything special to you?"
Mrs. Jie's brain has been in a state of collapse and she can't think of anything. In addition to the locust attack just now, she was almost unconscious with fright. Now Xia Yuanqiu asked her, she didn't know what to say at all, and she couldn't think of anything. Can't get up.
Seeing his wife's appearance, Xia Yuanqiu quickly took out a Qingxin Pill from the medicine box and fed it to her. She had just lost her husband and had already suffered a huge blow. Now she was besieged by overwhelming locusts, which kept her in a high mood. In a tense state, if this continues, her spirit will definitely be traumatized, and she must calm down and take a breath as soon as possible.
Mrs. Jie took the Qingxin Pill, and a chill slid down her throat and penetrated into her heart, finally giving her a sense of clarity in her chaotic mind.
Xia Yuanqiu gently patted Mrs. Xie's back to calm her down. After a while, she asked again: "Aunt Xie, are you feeling better now?"
Mrs. Xie nodded: "Much better, thank you!"
Xia Yuanqiu shook his head and asked again: "Auntie, do you still remember any strange things that uncle said to you recently? Or maybe there is something strange about his body, or he ate something special?"
Mrs. Xie thought about it seriously and suddenly said: "There is really a strange thing. Three days ago, he suddenly came back from the fields excitedly and said that he had dug a treasure in the fields. If he ate it, he would live forever. It was a treasure. It was a brown, soft lump the size of an egg. I asked him to throw away the strange thing, but he refused. He said he would eat it with his son when he came back. But who would have thought that this old guy got up in the middle of the night and ate it himself. I even scolded him. He was greedy. How could he eat such an obscure thing? Later, when I saw that there was nothing wrong with him, I forgot about it. Unexpectedly, only two days later, the fields at home were destroyed. The locusts ate them all, and even the old man’s life was lost!”
Xie Chen said: "I heard from the uncle that my father was not the only one chasing locusts in the fields, but there were also many helpers. But those locusts, as if they knew my father, just stared at him and bit him, letting everyone bite. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't drive him away. After a while, my father - if I hadn't come back in time, I might not even be able to save my physical body."
