C2440 Plague of Locust
C2440 Plague of Locust
"I like Chongqing. It's just that the weather here is good. Unlike Guangdong, it's too hot in the summer, humid in the winter, and tide in the spring. It's too stuffy in the autumn. It's the four seasons of the year. The weather is not good for a few days." Lin Miaoyu said.
"It's much better than before. This is a sacrifice that the development of the city has to go through. The environment and economy, at the beginning, are very difficult to accommodate. I heard from the seniors that even the sky at that time couldn't be seen blue. It was all gray, the stars couldn't be seen at night, and some children drew the sky. They drew the grey sky, not the blue sky. In their world... The sky was grey." Dongfang Qingyu said.
" We developed our field of vision in Guangdong, but we didn't live in Guangdong. " Lin Miaoyu said.
"Many people like Guangdong, but you like peace," ___ said. Dongfang Qingyu looked at her.
"Do you like quiet or lively?" Lin Miaoyu also looked at her, her gaze carrying a different meaning.
"I like home!" Dongfang Qingyu said.
Lin Miaoyu wrinkled her cute and delicate nose. She was not very satisfied with this answer. Under the shade of the tree, on the sidewalk, there were many people strolling. But looking closely, the difference could also be seen. Those who walked faster were all young people, the ones who were truly at ease. They were all middle-aged men in their forties, and they had already achieved wealth and freedom. They didn't have to worry about money, oil, and salt. They could truly enjoy time. Enjoying life.
The night wind blew, and the leaves rustled. The cool breeze touched his skin. It took away the heat caused by walking. Dongfang Qingyu suddenly stopped and Lin Miaoyu also stopped. She was just about to ask. Dongfang Qingyu had already rushed out like an arrow released from a bow. Like a gust of wind, he arrived in front of the fence that was more than twenty meters away. Lightning grabbed the man who jumped into the river and pulled him back.
Lin Miaoyu's face was pale with fright. She jogged to Dongfang Qingyu's side. Dongfang Qingyu had already thrown the light man onto the ground. The man himself was also frightened. He laid on the ground like a pile of mud, gasping for breath. There was not a single student on his face. The light in his eyes was extremely complicated. He felt lucky, afraid, regretful, unwilling to accept this. He was angry, helpless, and helpless.
Lin Miaoyu rarely saw so many emotions in a person's eyes. She felt inexplicably sad.
Dongfang Qingyu rushed out to save the man and pulled him back. In just two to three seconds, those strolling people were chatting with their companions. They didn't notice what was happening. They didn't even know that in just a few seconds, one of them almost died.
There was an old river outside the fence, and the mud hadn't been cleaned yet. The depth was about three meters. If he really jumped down... There was no opening in the river around him. In such a dark night... Calling the police would take at least half an hour, such a long time. It was enough for the man to die several times.
"From the looks of it, you should already be married. Death is not scary. But it's not right to put more pressure on your family because of your own death." Dongfang Qingyu had no intention of meddling in other people's business. After saying that, he pulled Lin Miaoyu and left.
When the man jumped into the river, he hesitated for a long time. He had mustered up his courage to jump into the river. After dying once, he didn't have the courage to die a second time.
"Thank you. Can you tell me your name? I, Ouyang Jin, will remember your kindness for the rest of my life." The man shouted.
"No need!" Dongfang Qingyu did not even turn his head. At this moment, Lin Miaoyu stopped and stared at the man with a pair of beautiful eyes. "Ouyang Jin, you said your name is Ouyang Jin. Is your wife Zhang Xiaomei?"
"You know my wife?" The man exclaimed and looked at Lin Miaoyu in surprise. Lin Miaoyu was wearing a mask and the lighting was not good. He could not recognize her.
"Is it because of her uterus cancer?" Lin Miaoyu returned.
The man was sure that Lin Miaoyu really knew her wife, and their relationship was not shallow. When he thought of his wife, his eyes could not help but turn red. He tried hard not to cry.
"Because of what? Can't you treat it? Or is it a matter of money? Isn't there already 300,000 yuan? The treatment fees have increased again?" Lin Miaoyu was somewhat anxious. Dongfang Qingyu stood by the side and vigilantly looked at the man. The man's expression suddenly became savage.
After a while, the man's mood finally recovered. He told her what had happened with a very complicated tone. His wife, Zhang Xiaomei, after her daughter had been weaned for more than ten months, her body felt a little uncomfortable. At that time, she thought it was because of the delivery. He didn't take it seriously.
Zhang Xiaomei herself did not take it seriously. Almost another year had passed. She wanted to find a job, so she had to do a physical examination. She also did a comprehensive examination and found out about uterine cancer. Cancer was a nightmare for ordinary families.
The couple got married not long ago and had just given birth. They did not have any savings at all. On the contrary, they owed a lot of money. The man's name was Mu Junqi. He was quite bold. The first thing he did was to buy the car he bought when he was getting married. A second-hand car wasn't worth much. He only bought more than 50,000 yuan. He didn't have a house. It was rented.
He then borrowed money from his family and friends, but he only borrowed it once when he got married. He hadn't returned it yet, how could he still borrow money? He had practically knelt down and had only borrowed a few tens of thousands. It was only 100,000 yuan in total. It was far from enough. The hospital said... A conservative estimate was three hundred thousand yuan.
Mu Junqi wanted to borrow money from his mother-in-law, but he did not manage to borrow a single cent. It wasn't that his mother-in-law didn't want to, but that she didn't, Zhang Xiaomei's brother... He was Mu Junqi's brother-in-law, a lazy person. He had already lost all the money for Zhang Xiaomei's betrothal gifts.
Not to mention that he had found a girlfriend this year and spent money like water. He had used up all his credit cards and had borrowed a lot of money. It was also thanks to Mu Junqi's mother-in-law that the house was not worth much in the countryside. Otherwise, he might not have been pawned by his brother-in-law or even bought.
When Mu Junqi was feeling helpless, the matter of money had changed. One of his wife's classmates somehow found out about his wife's illness and transferred 300,000 yuan over.
However, Mu Junqi should not have given the card to his mother-in-law. His wife was hospitalized and his mother-in-law was taking care of him. Mu Junqi had to run to the hospital and home by himself. His parents were also sick for a long time, and they could take care of their children during the day. There was nothing Mu Junqi could do at night, so he had to go home to take care of his daughter. So, he left his bank card with his mother-in-law and paid for it. She went.
Mu Junqi never would have thought that his mother-in-law would give the money to his brother-in-law. His brother-in-law said that he would use this money to pay off the loan. Otherwise... His mother-in-law was between his daughter and his son... Without any hesitation, she chose her son, so the money was gone.
Mu Junqi was still foolishly waiting for the surgery. It was only when the hospital urged him to pay the money that he knew about this matter. For a moment, he was filled with despair, and he could not think of anything else. That was why he wanted to jump into the river and commit suicide. Once everything was settled, everything would be settled.
"How can there be such a mother!? Is a son that important? If the son is mine, then isn't the daughter mine? " Lin Miaoyu was so angry that her entire body trembled. This was the money to save her life!
"Don't be angry for someone who is not worth it!" Dongfang Qingyu comforted her. He felt sorry for Mu Junqi. In the past, he had also borrowed money. Mu Junqi had borrowed at least tens of thousands of yuan, but he did not borrow a single cent.
"Later, ask Xiaomei to send me another account. I will transfer another 300,000 yuan to you. Xiaomei is still young and still has a good life. She cannot give up treatment because she has no money." Lin Miaoyu said.
"You are Lin Miaoyu!" Mu Junqi suddenly reacted. Being classmates with Lin Miaoyu and being able to maintain a good relationship after graduation was the thing that her wife was most proud of.
"You don't need to care who I am. You are a man. You have to bear the responsibility that a man should bear. You are the backer of Xiaomei and your daughter. If something happens to you, what will happen to them? I won't look down on those who are incapable, but I will look down on those who are not responsible." Lin Miaoyu said.
" Don't worry. I will not find shortcoming. This kind of silly thing. I won't do it again. Mu Junqi's phone suddenly rang. He looked at it and saw that... It was the hospital number. His expression changed slightly. After the call was connected, it was a call from the hospital asking for money. His expression was ugly. He hung up the phone and apologized to Lin Miaoyu and Dongfang Qingyu. He ran away.
"Let's go and take a look." Dongfang Qingyu saw the worry in Lin Miaoyu's eyes. After becoming a superstar, she did not have many friends. They were not the kind of friends who ate and drank. They were friends who knew their hearts and lungs. Zhang Xiaomei was one of them.
They were equal. They would not treat Lin Miaoyu as a great celebrity. They did not ask her to borrow money or ask her for help. They clearly knew that she had the ability.
The two of them drove over. They took a car. Of course, it was faster than Mu Junqi finding a shared list. When they arrived at the hospital, Dongfang Qingyu went to pay the money first and paid the money he owed. Then, he directly transferred 300,000 to the hospital's account and didn't take the bank card. Now, no one could transfer the money away. The person who could transfer the money away from the hospital's account. I guess only hackers.
In the ward, only Zhang Xiaomei was in the hospital bed. Mu Junqi's mother-in-law actually left. How cruel. Lin Miaoyu and Zhang Xiaomei said a few comforting words. Dongfang Qingyu stayed in the ward for a while and then went out. When he came back again, there was a nurse following behind him.
Mu Junqi had to go back to take care of his daughter later. Zhang Xiaomei must be taken care of.
One of them disappeared after the meeting. Lin Miaoyu and Dongfang Qingyu left the hospital. Lin Miaoyu's mood was still very depressed.
"She was such a beautiful person back then, but now she is like an eggplant that has lost its moisture." Lin Miaoyu thought about whether she would have the courage to live if she reached that kind of situation.
"This metaphor of yours... With the current medical standards, as long as it is not late, it is still relatively easy to treat. After it is done, as long as the follow-up rehabilitation can keep up, it will be very beautiful again." Dongfang Qingyu said.
"That will need a lot of money." She was not worried about herself. She was worried about Zhang Xiaomei. She did not lack money. At least she did not need that little medical expenses. Zhang Xiaomei definitely did not have that much money.
"That's why I have to buy insurance," ___ said. Dongfang Qingyu shook his head lightly. "You see, the current water droplet raising and easily raising have all gone bankrupt. Why? No one donated any more money. Everyone's money was earned through hard work. Some people ate less than they usually did. Some people saved money to buy insurance, while others unknowingly spent the money. One cup of milk tea today, one cup of coffee tomorrow. Five or six thousand yuan could buy a 300,000 yuan guarantee. With the current income level, wouldn't they be able to squeeze out five to six thousand yuan a year? Not necessarily. If five or six thousand yuan could not be squeezed out, then, it would be even more impossible for them to take out three hundred thousand yuan. Once they got sick, they would think of raising water droplets and raising them easily. It was the same as letting others pay for their food, drinks, and insurance. They quit. The person who didn't buy the insurance wanted to save ten dollars and eight dollars to buy milk tea and coffee. He did not want to donate anymore. It was not reliable to rely on others. They have to rely on themselves. "
"From what you said, there are fewer and fewer people who are donating. They are doing charity for a very important purpose" Lin Miaoyu said.
"Either they want a good reputation or they want policies. The more society developed, the more impetuous people are." Dongfang Qingyu said.
"It has nothing to do with development. It is poverty. If many people can achieve wealth and freedom, they will not think so highly of money." Lin Miaoyu said.
"Lu Yuanxi has a long way to go. What's the next sentence?" Dongfang Qingyu asked.
Lin Miaoyu's smile was like a flower that was shaking.
She went home to take a shower and sleep. She fell asleep at around ten o'clock. It was rare for her to sleep early. The next day, after eating breakfast at seven o'clock, Dongfang Qingyu couldn't wait to get online.
When he came out of the game, he immediately felt that something was wrong. As for exactly what was wrong, he couldn't tell. He opened the message and the messages flooded in. Beep, beep, beep. It was as if he had called the police. Dongfang Qingyu read the messages quickly. After reading more than twenty messages, his expression had completely changed.
The situation was very similar to what his team had expected. The locust plague had really appeared. However, the situation was far more serious than they had expected. A new regime had appeared in the Northern Tribes, the Northern Tribes Empire. The Golden Family that went to raid the Northern Tribes' old nest had an unknown change happen and surrendered to the Northern Tribes Empire. They had become the dogs of the Northern Tribes Empire.
The locust plague was attracted by Kintaro's men. Although the locust plague was a natural disaster, it could not be blamed on Koutarou. However, if not for Koutarou's men's guidance, the locust disaster would have appeared in the north. Time would have been delayed by at least three days, or even five days.
Now, the entire northern border had been occupied by the locusts. There was no food in the northern border. The locusts flew towards the central plains at an astonishing speed. Wherever they passed, not a single blade of grass grew.
The players from the central plains came to the new map to kill the monsters. The monsters were not killed and were blocked by the locusts. In just one night, there was no reinforcements in the new map. The monsters in the new map had all run out.
Wild moths, smiling bats, dark gold cockroaches covered the sky and covered the earth. The Hell Tiger Staff was slow, so they did not see it. However, thinking about it, it was obvious that it would happen sooner or later.
Everyone knew what a locust meant. Thus, starting from the appearance of locusts, the price of goods in the empire began to rise. In a while, the price would rise, especially the grain. The current price was more than 20 times the usual price, which was extremely terrifying.
The price of grain rose, along with the prices of fruits, livestock, aquatic products, and other industries. The workers' salaries also rose. Dongfang Qingyu felt that something was wrong when he went online. It was the uneasiness and anxiety on the players' faces.
In the city, there was a tense atmosphere.
