Gao Huan is very prestigious among the teenagers, and Yang Yan and Zhao Xian all believed it.

When the locusts came, the sky was overwhelming, and a few teenagers could not defeat the locusts. Gao Huan looked at the family members and began to threaten, "You all heard what Wang Jiaping said."

Everyone nodded, knowing that they and Gao Huan were on the same rope as the grasshopper.

Adults only look at gains and losses and interests, and they have no choice, but the locust plague comes every few years, either eating up the crops, and then everyone either sells the fields to the rich, borrows food, or even sells children and begs for food to survive. They have no hope of defeating the locust god.

"After you go back, prepare net bags, fishing nets, cloth bags and hatchets, and prepare some dry food, and gather at the entrance of the village tomorrow morning." Gao Huan ordered, looking at the numb people, and said coldly: "If you don't want to be driven out of the village, don't be late."

Now most of the land in Gao Laozhuang is in the hands of the Gao family, and almost all the people in the village are tenants of the Gao family.

This made the adults feel excited. The crops were eaten by locusts and they could borrow food from the master's house. If they were driven out of the farm, there would be only a dead end.

Yang Yan's father Yang Shulin was an honest man and hurriedly said, "Young Master, we know."

Gao Huan nodded, "Okay, let's go back and prepare!"

The adults then led the children back with concern.

Gao Huan stood at the entrance of the village, watching the sky under the sunset, sporadic grasshoppers flying in the air, and large swarms of locusts should be coming soon.

In the 13th year of Chongzhen, locusts spread everywhere in Henan, thousands of miles of barren land, and thieves broke out from Shangluo Mountain and entered Henan. Zhongzhou was in chaos, leaving me with little time.

Gao Huan looked down at his strong arms, he clenched his fists, and felt a force that he was no longer a child without resistance.

The Gao family in Dengfeng is a branch of the Gao family in Xinzheng. It is considered to be a descendant of the famous family. There are several arches erected in front of the town, one of which is a stone arch, with the words "Jinshi" written on it, showing the glory of the Gao family.

This Jinshi Arch was established when Gao Youcai became a Jinshi. It has been decades since the stones were mottled and vicissitudes, as if telling the decline of the Gao family.

As a branch of the Gao family in Xinzheng, the Gao family in Dengfeng had a high starting point. During the Wanli period, Gao Youcai won the Jinshi, but his official career was not very good.

Gao Xinzheng died early and did not suffer personal calculations from conservatives like Zhang Juzheng, but the reformists are the reformists and the targets that the gentry of the rich must suppress.

Because he was a member of the Gaogong tribe and a remnant of the reformists of the Ming Dynasty, Gao Youcai was exclusion from various forces after high school. He stayed in Beijing for five years and did not get a single official position.

That is, during his tenure, Gao Youcai took Gao Huan's mother, received funding from his father-in-law, and used a large sum of money to join Wei Zhongxian, so he was released from Suzhou as an official, but he stood in the wrong team. After Chongzhen ascended the throne, he was immediately deprived of his fame and reputation, demoted and returned to his hometown, and never hired.

Since then, the Gao family of Dengfeng was Wang Xiaoer in the New Year, and it was getting worse every year.

At this time, Gao Huan returned to the Gao family's fortress. The servants in the family hid far away when they saw him. They were afraid that they would have something to do with Gao Huan, so they could only put down their chopsticks and greet them, "Young Master!"

This old man is named Li Wu, and he is a distant relative whom Gao Huan’s mother’s family has been with him for more than ten years.

"Uncle Li! I have something to tell you!" Gao Huan said to the old man as he walked into the house.

The old man responded and hurriedly followed Gao Huan into the house.

In Gaojiazhuang, there are not many people Gao Huan can trust, and Li Wu is one of them.

When he was a child, Li Wu took him out of the water tank. Not long ago, he fought with a boy from the next village. Unexpectedly, the other party found more than a dozen strong men. Fortunately, Li Wu brought people to him, otherwise he might have been beaten to death.

This incident made Gao Huan know that as long as he performed a little more normal and wanted to do some serious things, someone would want to kill him, so he made up his mind and started to fight back.

Gao Huan walked into the room, Li Wu followed in, looked around the yard, and closed the door.

At this time, the two of them sat cross-legged on the kang, and Gao Huan said in a deep voice: "Uncle, that guy Wang Jiaping has indeed taken the bait and has caused trouble for me again."

Li Wu nodded and looked calm, "That vicious woman still refuses to let the young master go."

Gao Huan said: "Uncle, I have been enduring for so many years and don't want to endure it anymore. This time, it is an opportunity for me to destroy the locusts."

"Now most of the people in the village are theirs. You are too impulsive, Young Master." Li Wu complained: "Besides, if the locusts are easy to destroy, they will not have locust plagues every year."

Gao Huan said confidently: "Yao Chong can do it, why can't I do it?"

Li Wu knew Gao Huan's temper and sighed, "What do you want me to do?"

Gao Huanxi said: "Help me convince the tenants and participate in the fight against locusts!"

Li Wu nodded slightly and went off the kang to lobby for familiar tenants. Gao Huan also got off the kang, left the room, and went to find someone to help.

At this time, in the backyard of the Gao family's house, Wang Jiaping walked into a room. A woman with a charming charm in her under the 40s was eating tremella lotus seed soup under the maid's service.

The woman was Gao Huan's stepmother Wang. When she saw Wang Jiaping come in, she waved to the maid and said, "Go out first!"

The maids stood up and walked past Wang Jiaping. Wang Jiaping looked at one of the plump maids, swallowed, looked at the maid's butt, and waited for the maid to walk away before entering the door with a smile and said to Wang: "Sister, Cuihua has gained weight again."

Wang gave him a blank look and knew that he had become lustful, "If things are done, let Cuihua be a little bitch for you."

"Really!" Wang Jiaping's eyes lit up, and he was full of energy. He sat opposite him and whispered: "I will drive that fool away this time."

The Wang family was not from a good background. Gao Youcai took a concubine in Henan. She said she was a lady from a famous family, but in fact she was just a maid.

"I said that last time!" Wang said coldly.

"That's the old man named Li who died in time, otherwise the big fool would have been beaten to death." Wang Jiaping explained, patted his chest and said, "This time it was the fool who was trying to die. I will definitely drive him out. Gao Laozhuang is the sister and Xiaoyan."

In order to make Wang believe, Wang Jiaping told Gao Huan to lead a group of teenagers to catch locusts and bet on the way to save the crops.

"Sister, isn't this fool trying to die? In the past locust plagues, never did I eat up all the crops?" Wang Jiaping said proudly, looking at the remaining half bowl of lotus seed soup in Wang's family.

Wang smiled on his face and pushed the bowl in front of him, "Well, this is an opportunity, but that child is quite evil, so be careful."

Wang Jiaping smiled and finished drinking the lotus seed soup, saying unconsciously: "Can you beat the Locust God in evil?"

Wang followed Gao Youcai and had more knowledge. He knew that someone had caught locusts in the past. Gao Laozhuang had not caught locusts these years, mainly to annex the land, so he asked worriedly: "Do you know what the child plans to do?"

"I don't know this. I heard that those families who caused trouble were asked to prepare net bags and cloth bags, so I went to find Li Wu's old man." Wang Family Ping said.

Wang thought for a while and said coldly: "You can send the news that no one in the village is allowed to help the fool. Whoever dares to help him? Don't think of borrowing a grain of food from the Gao family after the disaster. The child may know about us and cannot be killed, so he must be driven away."
