章 216: The Famine Was Coming

"Father, what's going on with this locust plague? How long… will it last?" Second Sister-in-law Qin asked as she looked at Qin Dazhuang worriedly.

She couldn't help but worry. She was pregnant, after all.

If she suddenly went into labor and the midwife couldn't come, what should she do if she had to give birth?

The rest of the family members also looked at Qin Dazhuang.

After all, the others had never encountered a locust plague before.

Only Qin Dazhuang, who was older and more experienced, knew more.

Qin Dazhuang sighed.

"A locust plague means there was over-breeding of locusts until it turned into a disaster, causing them to form groups to wreak havoc.

"Usually, a locust plague will only break out after a great drought.

"When the locust plague occurs, the grain in the fields will be practically all eaten away. Even the forests, as well as other green plants like vegetables, will be devoured completely."
