"What? But the rice hasn’t ripened yet!" One of the villagers couldn’t help but say. The rice in the paddies was yet to ripen as it was sown not too long ago. How could they harvest the rice when it was yet to ripen?

"If you don’t want to harvest then you can leave the rice that belongs to your family but you will have to harvest the rice that you are growing for the Yu family," said Elder Sister Gu with a calm voice causing the villager who had just spoken up to turn quiet.
She looked at Elder Sister Gu in disbelief as she couldn’t believe that Elder Sister Gu abandoned her so easily! Couldn’t she have persuaded her a bit more to harvest the rice?
"When have you suffered after listening to Madam Yu? If anything you all have suffered by not listening to her."
Everyone in the crowd fell silent because what Elder Sister Gu said was the truth. They have never suffered a loss by following Yu Dong.
"Those who have the duty to guard the village keep patrolling, don’t let your guard down no matter what. Let the children help if possible but harvest the rice at all costs!" She paused and added, "If possible someone go and tell the Big Mountain Village and Big Sand Village to harvest the rice as well."
Though the magistrate was already on the move to alert the rest of the villages, who knows how long it would take for the messengers to arrive at the other two villages? What if they miss the precious time to harvest the rice?@@@@
"Just tell everyone who you know that the locust plague is coming," she then pointed to the horizon which was darker than the rest of the sky before remarking, "Doesn’t it look like the sky before the locust plague happened twenty years ago."
"The rice hadn’t even ripened yet!"
"The reason why you can even grow rice is thanks to Madam Yu! What nonsense are you spouting without the wells that she had dug in the village with her own money and the paddies that she had arranged? Do you think that you can even say those words? How dare you even question Madam Yu?"
"You..."
"Those who believe in me and Madam Yu can come with me. We will start harvesting the rice and those who have doubts can stay behind and do whatever they want to do," said Village Head Gu. She did not have the time to waste by quibbling with someone like Master Rong.
She was already tired of dealing with these villagers who liked to court death. Last time it was Yu Linyun who caused great trouble for the village. Fortunately, Yu Dong and Wu Junfen were able to keep them safe.
Because of Yu Linyun even though they had nothing to do with what happened in the Black Pot Village, their village was still being blamed by the relatives of those who died in the fire of Black Pot Village.
It was simply too much!
"We believe in you and Madam Yu, Village Head Gu," one of the villagers said politely.
"That’s right, Village Head Gu. We trust you and Madam Yu, and we are willing to harvest the rice. At worst, we will only suffer for a night and even if the rice is half-ripened, we know Madam Yu will not wrong us. However, if the locust plague really came then we will be the one who will have to pay Madam Yu."
Even if someone wanted to deny it, the fact remained. Yu Dong’s majesty in the village was simply unrivalled. If she said that there would be a locust plague then there was a ninety-nine percent chance that there would be a locust plague!
