233 Scary locust

This county magistrate Li is somewhat confused.

Li Yu chimed in, "These two children were invited in by my mentor, they didn't come to make trouble."

It means that there is no need for County Magistrate Li to issue an order to evict guests.

However, Zhao Zhitong and Qiao Muchen were indeed about to leave. After saying goodbye to the two adults, they jumped out of the county office.

Li Yu said with emotion again: "These two babies are amazing. The method of controlling locusts I just told you was provided to my mentor by these two babies."

As soon as these words came out, County Magistrate Li was stunned, and then felt annoyed, why didn't he read the contents of the letter, if this method was in his hands, it would be better to leave it to Mr. Song... …

However, he was annoyed for a while, and then thought about how difficult it is to deal with the locust plague. The method of two dolls will have no big effect. At that time, the blame will be pinned on his head.

Li Yu has already started working while Li County Magistrate is full of thoughts.

——

Song Renying really cared about the children. He was worried about the safety on the road, so he sent someone to escort them all the way back to Zhaozhai Village.

When they first returned to the village, they saw many villagers gathering at the entrance of the village.

Among them were Zhao Zhitong's family, Wei's family, Qiao's family, and Zhao Butcher's family.

They all knew that Zhao Zhitong and the others were not worried when they went to the county government office, but after seeing for a long time that they didn't come back, they started to worry.

So, they got together and prepared to go to the county to find someone.

Many villagers also heard about this time, and rushed out enthusiastically to help, and some came out to watch the excitement.

From a distance, seeing the donkey cart approaching, someone in the crowd exclaimed.

"Well, look, they're back, they're back!"

Seeing this, the parents rushed towards the donkey cart.

Zhao Zhitong and the others had also seen their family members at the head of the village, slipped off the donkey cart one by one, and rushed over at a trot.

Zhao Zhitong shouted loudly and rushed into Zhao Dong's arms: "Daddy, mother!"

Sun Mei: "Oh, you guys are back, but you're worried about spoiling us."

At this time, the officers and soldiers who escorted Zhao Zhitong and the others back saw that they had been delivered, so they left one after another.

Then some villagers asked Zhao Zhitong curiously: "Are these officers and soldiers sent by the county magistrate to send you back?"

Zhao Zhitong: "No, no, this is Lord Yushi's subordinate."

"Ah? What kind of official is the censor?"

Many villagers expressed their incomprehension.

At this time, Zhao Yue gestured with his hands, and hurriedly replied: "He is such a big and big official, even the county magistrate will kowtow to him!"

"Wow!"

The crowd suddenly burst into exclamation: "Oh, look, you guys are promising, such a big official sent someone to send you home!"

Another villager asked: "Then that adult also adopted the methods you mentioned to control locusts?"

Zhao Zhitong looked a little proud: "Well, of course, we will be notified soon."

Some people also questioned: "Can the methods of you little ones work?"

Zhao Zhitong was not angry at all, and said confidently: "Master Yu Shi said, as long as we work together to defeat the locusts and protect our crops, it will definitely be possible!"

Many villagers were infected by Zhao Zhitong's words. In addition, they hated the locusts to the bone, and they all shouted to knock down the locusts.

Naturally, there were some who didn't believe it, such as Mrs. Zheng and Mrs. Wang who were standing outside the crowd, but at the moment they only pursed their mouths and did not make a sound.

After all, locusts are still the worst enemy!

——

What Zhao Zhitong said was correct. Sure enough, not long after they left, the village chief called everyone together and announced two things.

One thing is to encourage the villagers to hand in their chickens, ducks and geese to control the locust plague. The second thing is to gather all the villagers to make tools to fight the locust plague.

I don't know how the other villages are doing. Anyway, these four villages didn't go well at first.

Not many people are willing to hand over their chickens, ducks, and geese. They are worried that they will not be able to return if they hand over their chickens, ducks, and geese. What's more, it is another way for officials to collect people's fat and anointment.

Finally, with continuous encouragement and the threat of locusts, some villagers gradually agreed.

So, those people began to hand over chickens, ducks and geese to Lizheng's house.

But the person in charge of collection is not standing at attention, but the officers and soldiers sent from above. They will not only register the villagers who hand in the chickens, ducks and geese, but also write the family's name on the feathers of the chickens, ducks and geese.

And promised that after the locust plague passed, it would be returned to them.

Now, the villagers feel relieved a lot, and more and more people are willing to hand over their poultry.

At the same time, when the chickens, ducks and geese were handed over here, other villagers were gathered together one after another. The strong men went to the field to dig deep pits and erect high nets in the direction where the locusts flew.

The women use wooden sticks to tie their shoes, make net pockets, and make tools for catching locusts.

Even the little doll is not idle.

When they were making preparations, sporadic locusts had already arrived.

It was evening when the army of locusts whimpered and came to them.

"The locusts are coming, the locusts are coming!"

Following the shouts of the people at the head of the field, all the villagers mobilized collectively.

In the past few days, the villagers basically stayed on the ground, fearing that they would not be able to catch up when the locusts arrived.

At this time, upon hearing the shout, they picked up the shovel guys one after another, jumped up, and rushed forward one after another.

Zhao Zhitong also held a stick with a shoe tied on it, and together with Qiao Muchen and Zhao Yue, rushed forward with the crowd screaming.

Seeing the army of locusts for the first time, the shock brought to the little guys was undeniable. They came from the north, covering the sky and covering the sun, like a large dark cloud, pressing down in an instant...

Jumping on the ground, flying in the sky, humming, densely packed, people with trypophobia, I am afraid they will be scared to death.

Zhao Zhitong was frightened, when those yellow bugs jumped on her body, she screamed out of fright.

Then he shook his body, avoided his feet and shook them off, then closed his eyes, hopped his feet and began to slap hard on the ground.

Those larvae that could only jump fell into the deep pit, and the villagers began to fill it with soil frantically. During this period, some adults would jump up and down a few times to compact the soil, so that the locusts would not fly out again.

The locusts on the high ground hit the net pockets and landed one after another. The women took their shoes under the net pockets and slapped the ground frantically.

With that ruthlessness, one can see the villagers' hatred for locusts.

However, the locusts were very alert. When they hit the net and were disturbed, they began to fly randomly and to high places.

Therefore, these two methods are fundamentally inexhaustible.

At this time, chickens, ducks and geese were released.

Those locusts that slipped through the net fell on the wheat seedlings and ate the crops like crazy.

Then the chickens, ducks and geese rushed into the field like a large army. When they saw the locusts, they all became energetic.

They all lowered their heads and started pecking frantically.
