Chapter 85: Work Together To Capture
Chapter 85 Cooperative Capture
If only there were pesticides.
Yin Miao thought to herself, looking at the crops being gnawed in the fields, even if they were not planted by themselves, she was extremely distressed.
“Miao’er, you are here first, I will send Brother Han back first.”
Yin Bowu carried Brother Han who was still crying and said that the child had many wounds on his face by wheat or insects. He planned to let Yin Bowen and Yin He take care of Brother Han at home.
“Okay.” Yin Miao also felt sorry for such a brother Han, but now she couldn’t take it back.
“let me help you.”
Xiao Xuan came over and said at some point.
Seeing that everyone was busy catching locusts, and no one noticed it, Yin Miao also nodded, and the two caught half a bag of locusts in just a quarter of an hour.
“Changling Mountain must also be miserable.”
Yin Miao said regretfully that although locusts love grass plants, they are now so numerous that they will be hungry.
“No problem, I will let Li Tianyang and the others clean it up.”
Xiao Xuan replied.
“plum…”
Yin Miao was surprised, did you use the dead to catch the locusts? This time Li Tianyang will definitely complain again.
“He has done well in the last few missions and can be trained well.”
When Li Tianyang was mentioned, Xiao Xuan said again.
“Your people should have both ability and political integrity.”
Yin Miao didn’t dare to talk nonsense, but it was true, Yun Jiang Yunhe and the others were all loyal servants of one in ten thousand.
Not to mention Li Tianyang, if he doesn’t brush his favorability, he will lose his mind. He will definitely work hard to complete the task.
Another group of locusts swept away from the back towards Yin Miao and the two of them. Xiao Xuan coughed twice to block her back, and only waved his sleeves vigorously twice, and a bunch of locusts fell all over the ground.
“thanks.”
Yin Miao was grateful, she couldn’t turn her head, no one dared to underestimate these little locusts, those stinging legs hurt when they touched human skin.
“Be careful.”
Xiao Xuan simply stood behind Yin Miao and began to catch the huge locust in front of him.
A morning of hunting was somewhat effective, and the large wheat fields and sorghum fields were gnawed and bald a lot, but the villagers did not give up.
“Don’t just worry about being sad, big guy. Even if the harvest can’t be preserved, it’s better to preserve one-third of the crop than the one that never gets harvested.”
Weili shouted while standing on a high slope.
“Yes, as long as we have one-third of the harvest, we won’t starve to death!”
“Think about the positives, so many locusts can eat, and we are not without gains.”
“Yes, everyone cheer up and fight the locusts to the end!”
“…”
The momentum of the villagers soon reached a climax again. At this time, the locust wave was not as it was at the beginning, and there were faint signs of flying westward.
However, people didn’t dare to be careless. Bags of locusts piled up on the roadside, and many elderly people and children began to cooperate to sweep the locust corpses that were shot to death on the ground.
Yin Zhenghong and Mrs Liu were also tired, so they returned to their vegetable garden with a bag of loot and continued to step on the locusts. Mrs. Wei and Mrs. Zhen also went to Mrs. Zhang to continue helping.
“Sister-in-law, look over there.”
Zhen Shi poked Wei Shi, pointing to Yin Miao and Xiao Xuan who were working together to catch locusts. Probably because the two cooperated so well, she could see a hint of a perfect match.
“It’s Miao’er and Young Master Xiao, what’s wrong?”
Wei didn’t understand Zhen’s meaning.
“It’s okay, it seems like Wang Yishuang and the others are there too.”
Zhen Shi smiled, Wei Shi is a typical person who only loves to guard against outsiders, and in her opinion Xiao Xuan is her own family.
“It seems, I’ll go take a look.”
Wei saw that Wang Yishuang seemed to be blaming Zheng Feiyao for something, and ran over quickly.
“Why do you always run around, don’t you know that just now you almost terrified Mother and Kaori?”
Wang Yishuang, who had been looking for his daughter for a long time, finally couldn’t bear it any longer.
“Mother, you see it’s snowing here, it’s so beautiful.”
Zheng Feiyao pointed at the locusts in the sky and said.
“Miss, that’s not snow…”
Kaori hesitated.
“Yishuang, don’t blame the child. With such an emergency today, the child will inevitably find a way.”
Wei came to comfort him.
“Thank you Miss Yin and this gentleman for helping take care of the young lady.”
Kaori came over and thanked her softly.
“You’re welcome, it’s my fault, Feiyao is not easy for you to find under the tree.”
Yin Miao said.
“Don’t blame Miss Yin.”
Kaori said.
Seeing that Mrs. Wei was still persuading Wang Yishuang, Yin Miao comforted Zheng Feiyao with a few words before continuing to catch the locusts.
“There are many people here, do you want to go back first?”
Yin Miao asked Xiao Xuan who was beside her in a low voice.
“No, I’ll be fine with you.”
Xiao Xuan’s lips curled into a smile, and his eyes were on the locusts flying in the air from beginning to end.
A battle between people and locusts finally came to an end when the sun slanted west. Although there were still locusts flying around in the crops, many villagers cried after seeing this scene.
The riddled fields have not turned red as before, but still maintained the main color of green. In order to catch locusts, large tracts of crops were trampled and dumped, but fortunately, as long as more water was poured, those crops would still be there. Can stand up again.
“Our wheat!”
An elderly man was half-kneeling beside the wheat field. The wheat plant in his hand had been gnawed and only the top part of the root remained.
“Father, we still have some wheat left, maybe half of the harvest.”
The man beside comforted the old man.
There are still some chickens and ducks eating the remaining locusts in the field, and they are also veritable heroes in this locust war.
“Lizheng, have we caught all the locusts?”
Yin Bowu asked.
Wei Lizheng’s face was covered with scars cut by locusts. He looked in a direction opposite Changling Village and said:
“Impossible, the locusts can’t be caught, they just moved, and it’s more likely that they will come back again.”
“Again?”
Yin Chengyun has no love for life, and after this day, he no longer wants to eat locusts.
The whole family came home tired and hungry. Since Yunhe came back early, they could smell the aroma of the food before they reached the door of the kitchen.
“Whoever marries Yunhe in the future will be blessed.”
Wei sighed to Zhen.
“Isn’t it? I don’t know any girl who has such good luck.”
Zhen said.
Yin Miao also nodded with emotion, Yun He is really a good man in the modern world, she does not accept any refutation.
Cough cough cough.
A coughing sound came from behind, and Yin Miao came back to her senses.
“Young Master Xiao has worked hard all day today, so you should rest early and let Yunjiang bring you the meal later.”
Yin Bowu also carried two large bags of locusts, including Yin Chengyun and Yun Jiang, who were filled with such bags on their backs.
“It’s okay, moving a little bit is much better than before. I’ll help you later.”
Xiao Xuan pointed at the locusts behind several people and said.
