Chapter 427 After the Plague of Locusts

Fang Sanduo and Huang Mei only felt that the smell in the air became more and more disgusting. After vomiting for a while, when they straightened up again, they still felt a little nauseous.

Not only that, but the smell in the air made them feel a little dizzy and weak in limbs.

Fang Yu watched Fang Sanduo and Huang Mei's complexions gradually turn a little yellow, this color is not right!

Although the locust has skipped.

But in fact, most of the locusts continued to fly over, but such a small number of locusts were left in the village.

These locusts inhabit any place with trees and flowers in Taguchi Village, densely packed, and constantly gnawing on these vegetation.

There are also locusts who are naturally curious and love to drill into every corner of the house.

Others in the village did not take protective measures in advance like Fang Yu did. As a result, after the flood of locusts passed by, most of the villagers' windows failed to withstand the suicide impact of locusts, and all of them were smashed to pieces!

And some doors were not closed properly, and they were also rushed open.

Under the huge population, these locusts are not inferior to human beings at all.

They are almost pervasive.

Although living things are not in the diet of locusts, these locusts did not eat humans after they rushed into the room.

Instead, it kept flapping and flying throughout the house.

If the rice tanks and grain bags of some villagers are not tightly fastened or covered, the locusts will fall directly into these tanks or on the rice bags, and they will completely cover the entire surface of the tank and rice bags in a short time.

Seeing that their food was so encroached by locusts, even though the house had turned into a locust nest at this time, these villagers still went up desperately to slap the locusts away, then put the grain bags in their arms, and rushed out of the room.

After rushing out of the room, they realized that the whole village seemed to be raining locusts.

There are locusts flying everywhere outside.

The locusts landed on the roof and the ground. Although these locusts would fly away when they found that there was no food in these places, some locusts in the egg-laying period found that some places were suitable for breeding offspring, so they just stayed on the road, on the ground. On the roof, or even in a nest in a resident’s home, these female locusts just safely insert their tails into the soft soil, or straw, or some urns.

As long as these locations meet their ovulation needs, they will directly lay white fine eggs there, and then leave.

These eggs are extremely small, they look a bit like rice grains, and sometimes they are very conspicuous under the light next to them.

The villagers who didn't rush out of the house gradually found that their chest was tight and their heart beat faster and throbbing during the fight with the locusts.

Bitterness in the mouth, faint burning sensation in the stomach, and instinctive nausea, dizziness, and blurred vision.

This is a symptom of cyanide poisoning.

These locusts instinctively convert phenylacetonitrile into hydrocyanic acid when attacked.

Although the amount of these is not much, it cannot withstand continuous inhalation in a closed room like a house.

These villagers only thought the smell was weird, but they didn't know it was highly poisonous hydrocyanic acid.

Cyanide poisoning dose and lethal dose The lethal dose of oral hydrocyanic acid is 0.7-3.5mg/kg.

The concentration of hydrocyanic acid in the inhaled air reaches 0.5mg/L cyanide, which can be fatal.

The amount originally inhaled was not enough to cause death, but it was enough to make them dizzy and fell to the ground. After falling to the ground, they could no longer go out of the room. The hydrogen cyanide in the air was still inhaled by them continuously, but only But after a few minutes, their breathing gradually became weaker

And those who rushed out of the house, because they were outdoors, the hydrogen cyanide did not form any concentration after it diffused into the atmosphere. After going out, the symptoms gradually improved.

But the locusts flying everywhere outside gave them a visual impact like the doomsday. At this time, the villagers who came out were running frantically towards the locust temple.

But when they came to the locust temple, they found that the locust temple had already been occupied by locusts.

The gate of the temple was wide open, and the lame uncle had long since disappeared.

On the dignified and solemn face of God Locust sitting high on the altar in the temple at this time, His "God Insect" was bouncing back and forth on his head and flying in front of it.

After seeing this scene, the last hopes of those villagers were all shattered, and they screamed unacceptably and ran towards the outside of the village.

After Fang Yu saw the situation of Fang Sanduo and Huang Mei, he lifted them up from the ground without hesitation, kicked open the gate, ignored the locusts flying all over the sky, and found an open space, kicked After opening the locusts on the ground, put the two of them down.

Fortunately, the two of them didn't inhale much, and Fang Yu brought it out the moment they vomited and collapsed.

This kind of mild poisoning will not be fatal as long as you get out of the poisoning environment in time. If the ingestion is small, it can be cured if it is automatically excreted by the human body.

Those villagers who rushed out of the house earlier were not all alive and kicking, even if their hearts were shocked, they still ran fast.

After seeing Huang Mei and Fang Sanduo gradually recovering their breathing, Fang Yu returned to the room.

At that time, the situation was urgent. Although he had told them before that the locusts might be poisonous and asked them to breathe carefully, when the locusts rushed into the room, apart from him, Fang Sanduo and the other two could not breathe as well as he did. Controlling their breathing, they inhaled some hydrocyanic acid because of the close fight with the locusts.

And Fang Yu consciously controlled his breathing from the beginning to the end, so he had no influence at all. The locusts don't bite, they just fly around, which is very annoying, and when there are too many, they will have vision. However, if it can be ignored, the locust plague will not have much impact on people.

Fang Yu walked into the room and photographed all the locusts on the grain bag.

Fortunately, he had taken protective measures for these foods long ago.

These locusts just smell the food, but they have no way to eat the food that is tightly protected by the sack, they can only hover on it.

In order to prevent these locusts from laying eggs or excreting on it, Fang Yu completely wrapped the food with quilts and blocked all the entry holes.

The meat strips hanging in the kitchen are sealed in the stove.

The back of these meat strips must be roasted with fire on the lower surface.

In this way, the possible insect eggs or hydrocyanic acid on it will be burned and deteriorated at high temperature, making it safe and edible again.

After doing all this, Fang Yu went out to appease Fang Sanduo and Huang Mei.

Under Fang Yu's narration, the two gradually understood that locusts can only cause damage to food. Even if they were outside the house and were swept by locusts, at most they were bitten by locusts and inhaled some hydrocyanic acid. As long as the locusts fly over, they will be slightly poisoned at most. In this state, it is possible to heal themselves.

A few people from the neighboring villages said that they were sick and lying in bed, probably because they were washed face to face by locusts.

There are not no cases of deaths due to locusts, but they are rare.

However, in the previous few times, the locusts swept across the fields and did not invade the village.

However, the luck of Taguchi Village was not very good. It happened to be on the route of the locust plague, and that's when the locusts invaded the village.

When they understood that the locusts were not too harmful, and after they came out, they also found that although these locusts were flying around, they still instinctively avoided humans and just flopped around in other places.

This discovery made the two of them gradually relax.

Fang Yu, on the other hand, looked thoughtfully at the room next door with three closed pillars.

Thinking of what happened to Fang Sanduo and Huang Mei before, Fang Yu stood up immediately. He only had time to talk to Huang Mei before he ran directly to the courtyard of Sanzhuzi, knocked on the door twice, and found that there seemed to be After the sound of calling for help, he kicked the room open, and after a while, he came out of the room with three pillars on his back.

After placing the three pillars who were still awake on the ground, he entered the door again, and brought out three more people, one with his shoulders and two arms between them.

They are the three children of Sanzhuzi.

And then his wife, old mother, old father.

A family of seven, all lying in the room.

Once these rooms are not well ventilated, they may continue to inhale due to the accumulation of hydrocyanic acid, which is why Fang Yu would kick the door.

Fortunately, Fang Yu kicked the door in time, and the seven people were fine except for two elderly people who had a little serious symptoms.

Especially the three children, after the locusts entered, the three little ones were so scared that they got under the bed directly, so that they were protected from the locusts, and they were in the best condition.

After realizing this problem, Fang Yu started knocking and kicking doors from house to house.

In some houses, due to the good ventilation, there is no closed space, and the people inside are all fine. Seeing Fang Yu knocking on the door at this time, he was quite puzzled and dared not open the door.

After Fang Yu informed about the poisoning, the people inside hurriedly opened the door.

There was lingering fear on his face after opening the door.

Because they all felt a little stuffy in the room and uncomfortable in the chest, but they thought it was just a natural symptom of the stuffy room, but they didn't expect it to be the problem of locusts.

After learning what Fang Yu had done, they belonged to the same village after all, and everyone in the village was more or less related. Therefore, the villagers began to knock and kick the door spontaneously.

After all the villagers were knocked on the door, everyone gathered together and found out that there were really a few unlucky ones.

Because too many locusts entered the two households, the hydrocyanic acid in their air rose rapidly, and these people fainted after a short time.

After being rescued, he couldn't wake up no matter what, but fortunately he was still breathing.

But Fang Yu has no hope for this.

Once this kind of cyanide poisoning reaches a certain level, unless modern medicine uses targeted drug treatment, the probability of death is extremely high.

Sure enough, shortly after being rescued, these people suddenly turned red, and after a while, their legs twitched, and they lost their breath.

A total of three people died.

They are all old people.

After discovering that someone had died, these people really believed Fang Yu's previous words.

While rejoicing, Fang Yu's image in the hearts of the villagers of Taguchi Village has become more real and more credible.

This is a capable man.

This is the idea shared by everyone in Taguchi Village.

Capable people will naturally get more respect.

although

Fang Yu didn't want this~

Looking at the grateful and trusting eyes of the villagers in Taguchi Village, Fang Yu felt dizzy.

He saved people purely out of his own heart, and he didn't want to gain the trust of these villagers.

Because sometimes, trust is an alternative responsibility.

The villagers trust Fang Yu, and they will come to him if they need something later, but Fang Yu doesn't want to take this responsibility.

He has only been here for a month at most, and he has no friendship with these villagers, except for San Zhuzi.

Now he just wants to take Fang Sanduo and Huang Mei to spend this month well, and he doesn't want to take care of the rest, and he can't take care of it.

He can manage the lives of three people, and if there are more, it is beyond his ability.

Now Fang Yu just hopes that nothing will happen in the future, and everyone can spend this period of time quietly.

When the plague of locusts came, the rice fields in Taguchi Village were naturally not spared.

The large army of locusts flew away, but it seems that the remaining locusts are a little bit "reluctant to leave".

These locusts took a fancy to all the vegetation and greenery near Taguchi Village.

In the village, some of the wild vegetables that some village names planted themselves were eaten up in just one day.

Then the locusts began to spread to the outskirts of the village.

But these locusts are mindless things after all.

Some locusts have nothing to eat and know how to explore other places, while some locusts just nod their heads.

They don't spread out, they drill into the villagers' rooms!

Plus locusts are phototropic creatures.

At night, when the fire is lit, the surrounding locusts lean into the fire one after another.

It took the entire Taguchi Village culling for three full days before the locusts in the village were basically culled.

And the eggs laid by these locusts, as long as they were found, were burned clean by the villagers with torches.

After the locusts in the village were almost cleared, the locusts outside the village had also gone.

What is left behind is a deserted field that has long been in a mess.

When Fang Yu was leaving the village, he was also taken aback by the post-disaster scene in front of him!

The paddy fields that were originally green three days ago, now there are only scattered rice stalks standing bare on the land in the ridge.

These locusts gnawed not only the rice, but even the rice leaves.

There was no irrigation for three days, causing the fields to dry up at this time.

And on the semi-dry land, there was a layer of fine white insect eggs.

These insect eggs are still floating on the surface. Looking closer, the cracked cracks in the fields have long been filled with insect eggs laid by these locusts.

The growth cycle of locusts is about two months.

If these eggs are not cleared within this time, two months later, when the locusts take shape, it will be another plague of locusts.

This is why the locust plague seemed low-key in ancient times but had the most extensive influence.

Droughts and floods, ancient dynasties were able to deal with it, but the harm of locust plagues was not restrained until the development of pesticides and the formation of aerial spraying technologies in modern times.

If not helpless.

There will not be another so-called locust god because of this.

Except for the rice fields, in other places, in a blink of an eye, within a five-mile radius of Taguchi Village, there is no greenery to be seen.

Originally a row of idyllic small villages with singing birds and fragrant flowers, now it is like the Gobi Desert in the desert.

The green of the mountains and forests in the distance has also faded.

All the leaves have been eaten clean, the small branches have been bitten off, and the bark is pitted everywhere. If you only look at this tree, you probably won't be able to survive.

From Fang Yu's perspective and thinking.

This piece of land is considered useless.

All the greenery here has been almost devastated.

It is basically impossible to return to the previous appearance without a year or a half.

In other words, for a year and a half, this village was a place of death!

Among the nearby villagers, there is no lack of some far-sighted people.

After a while, everyone in the village knew that Taguchi Village was destroyed.
