Daqin: I was overheard by Zulong

Chapter 38 You Raised a Good Son
"Boss, what did dad just say? The stuff we ate just now were locust larvae? Is it true?"

"No way, locust larvae can be so delicious? Why have I never heard of them!"

"Hey, our dad is really good at eating. He's already eating flowers. Where did he get this in the middle of the night?"

"What the hell, I only ate so much, and it's not enough to fit between my teeth. What's the matter with my brothers, start?"

"Let's go, let's go together..."

Qiang Lu's sons were lawless masters, and Mrs. Qiang Lu had no time to stop them, and the four brothers had already left the house and went out.

As for the curfew, it was nothing to them at all. Qiang Li himself was the deputy commander of the patrol battalion, and several of his sons were also on errands in the battalion, so no one dared to stop them when they went outside.

So the four brothers left Xianyang City very quickly, went to their own village outside the city, and started looking for locust larvae everywhere.

"Hey, brother, here, look, there are so many locust larvae, so many!"

"My God, I have a lot here, I'll go, there are so many, look, look, here too!"

"Hiss... Oh my God, there are so many locust larvae, we are in for a treat!"

"That's right, um, that's not right, brother, tell me, if there are so many locust larvae without us eating them and they all grow up, how many locusts would there be!"

"Damn it, don't tell me, there are so many locusts, it's enough to cause a locust plague!"

"Bah, bah, what kind of locust plague, maybe we caught up with it. There have been no locust plagues for so many years, how could there be locust plagues!"

"No, it's very possible. Otherwise, why did our father suddenly eat locusts? Maybe the court has started to pay attention to it."

"Whatever, let's listen to His Majesty, don't worry about other things right now, just eat these locust larvae!"

"That's right, that's right, do the right thing, dig some more..."

Qiang Yu's sons were all fierce soldiers in the army. They were the strongest among them. In a short time, they dug up several baskets of locusts and locust larvae together.

"It's almost dawn, go back quickly, or let my mother find out, there will be no good fruit to eat!"

The brothers immediately packed up the locust larvae and started to rush back.

When they went out of the city, they were very relaxed, but when they entered the city and met the soldiers of the city defense battalion, and saw that they had dug up so many locusts and locust larvae, they couldn't help asking.

Although they were prevaricated by the brothers, the soldiers in the city defense battalion started talking about it.

"Uh, by the way, what are the Qiang family doing? Digging up so many locust larvae, what are you going to do?"

"Don't worry about what they are doing, look at their sneaky appearance, it doesn't look like they are looking for something to do, maybe there is something in the court."

"There are so many locust larvae, so it's not like a plague of locusts?"

"Hey, let's not talk about it. I heard from the brothers who changed the defense before that His Majesty and the important officials in the court also went out yesterday. Today, the Qiang family seem to have been digging locusts outside all night..."

"Yes, that must be the case, what the hell, is there really a plague of locusts?"

"What are you all doing? There are so many words in the city gate!" The Colonel of the City Gate shouted loudly, and all the soldiers did not dare to speak, but no one noticed that there was also a deep look in the eyes of the Colonel of the City Gate. Confuse.

However, the four Qiang family brothers didn't even know what they were doing, which had aroused speculation from the outside world.

They secretly returned to the mansion, and started to burn oil in their small kitchen, and then cleaned the locusts by themselves, and prepared to fry them in the pan.

Apart from fighting, the brothers also know how to eat. Yesterday they ate the smell of fried locusts, and they could easily guess how to make them, so they worked together, and it didn't take long for the whole Qiang mansion to smell of fried locusts. .

"Well...that's the taste, brother, I've fixed it, come over and eat it!"

"I've made it too, come over and eat, try mine!"

"It tastes better without seasoning, please try it quickly..."

"It's so delicious, how can I do without wine, go for a walk, and get the jars of wine that Dad secretly hid!"

The brothers hit it off immediately, and immediately moved towards Qiang Li's study.

At this time, the sky was already bright, and after Qiang Lu woke up, he just opened the window, and unexpectedly smelled a familiar fragrance.

But his attention was soon drawn away by a hole under the tree outside the window, where he secretly hid the wine.

"Naughty beast!" Qiang Yan thought of something easily, and hurried to his son's yard.

Following the aroma of fried locusts, he found his own kitchen all the way, and saw his four sons lying in a mess in the kitchen, and a few wine jars scattered around, all of which were his private collections, and they were all empty at the moment .

When he looked at the fried locusts in the oil pan in the kitchen, he still didn't understand.

It's abominable that a few of my own beasts actually stole my fine wine and secretly fried so many locusts!
Qiang Lu suddenly became furious, picked up the spatula in the kitchen, and prepared to "kill his sons".

But at this moment, the butler hurried in from the outside, "My lord, it's not good, the big thing is not good!"

"I was outside just now, and I heard rumors from outside that the four young masters of our mansion were ordered by the Holy Order to go out of the city to dig locust larvae last night. It is said that there will be a plague of locusts in Guanzhong soon, and the court is trying to find a way."

"What?" Qiang Yan's eyes suddenly went dark when he heard the words, he staggered and almost didn't sit on the ground.

Ying Zheng had told all ministers to keep the matter about the locusts secret last night.

But Qiang Li didn't expect that after a long time, he would be tricked by his son, and he was afraid that something bad would happen soon!
Thinking of this, Qiang Yan became anxious and angry, picked up the spatula, and slapped his sons who were drunk and sleeping soundly.

The brothers had eaten and drank enough, and were contentedly dreaming. They were beaten so hard that they woke them up instantly. However, Qiang Fu did not give up, and chased the brothers and continued to beat them. The whole Qiang Mansion was in a state of panic.

"Ah, dad, don't hit, don't hit, ah, help, mother..."

"Father, why did you hit us, ah...it hurts, it really hurts!"

"Go and call mother, oh my god, dad has gone crazy..."

The four brothers of the Qiang family ran away with their heads in their arms, and Qiang Yan chased after him, chasing and beating them while angrily reprimanding them.

"You evil beast, if you don't do your business every day, you will get into trouble. I'll see if I don't beat you to death!"

"Who made you go out of the city, who made you dig locust larvae, who made you eat locusts, who made you steal Lao Tzu's wine!"

"Do you know how much trouble you have caused, I will beat you to death today..."

The movement in the kitchen finally alarmed Mrs. Qiang Li, seeing Qiang Li beating her precious son to death, the wife stopped immediately and stepped forward to stop him.

"Master, what are you doing so early in the morning? Why are you beating the child? What are you doing?"

"You raised a good son!" Qiang You was furious. He told his wife what happened yesterday and what the housekeeper heard on the street today. Mrs. Qiang's expression suddenly changed...
