Fu Chen'an and his soldiers stayed for another 3 days in Yang Village until they finished watering all the fields with the Sha Wu Hen water.
Due to the peaceful days after the thunderstorm, people living near the northern border were skeptical about the rumors regarding the locust plague.
Today was the 8th day of the 8th month during the 3rd year of Tianwu. There was only 1 month left before the crops were ready for harvest.
At this moment, the people who visited the towns and cities located near the northern border hadn't received any news about the locust plague.
At a roadside noodle stall, several commoners were discussing the powder distributed by the government.
"Have you heard any news about the locusts?" one of them asked.
"It has been almost a month since the government told us to use that strange powder and harvest our crops early. They keep saying that there will be a locust plague, but it's almost a month now and not even a locust has been seen."
