Chapter 170 Getting Ready
"What you said makes sense, I don't know how to refute you."
Xiao Qi seemed to admit defeat.
"Okay, I have to leave quickly. If I am late, I am afraid that the rhythm of the plan will be disrupted."
"Well, Xiao Qi has always been by your side. If you need anything, just tell Xiao Qi."
Saying that, Xiao Qi watched Shangguan Xiaoxiao carry a large bag of grain out of the farming space.
After returning to the room, Shangguan smiled and poured out all the grain in the bag. After several trips, the grain had filled a large part of the room.
Shangguan smiled and nodded with satisfaction, and patted the dust on his body.
"It's finally finished, and now it's just waiting for them to find a good location and then move the food there."
"Host, I hope you can successfully eliminate the locusts."
"Well, but, Xiao Qi, do you feel that it's always a little weird, but I can't tell exactly what's wrong."
"A little weird? What's weird?"
Xiao Qi blinked a few times and looked at Shangguan with a puzzled look.
Shangguan smiled and shook his head.
"Actually, I can't tell why I feel a little strange, but I feel a little uneasy in my heart."
"Host, don't think too much, it's just a small swarm of locusts. You have so many people, you can definitely deal with it."
Seeing Shangguan smiling like this, Xiao Qi quickly comforted her.
Shangguan smiled and listened to Xiao Qi's words, but frowned slightly.
Although Xiao Qi said nothing wrong, but her inner uneasiness was not reduced by half.
Could it be that his recent energy is too concentrated, so he has hallucinations?
Shangguan Xiaoxiao could only guess from the bottom of her heart.
"Host, think about it carefully. What's wrong? Xiao Qi will help you analyze it. There can be no mistakes. We must complete the task smoothly."
"Thank you Xiaoqi, maybe I really think too much."
Shangguan smiled and shook his head, "Or maybe I'm too nervous, it's fine, I'll go to Young Master Mo and the others to discuss countermeasures."
With that said, Shangguan smiled and was about to go out, but as soon as he opened the door, he saw Feng Lingzun coming in from outside.
"Liucheng and I have already found a good spot. The place is empty and suitable for attracting locusts."
Feng Lingzun looked excited, while Liu Cheng echoed, "It is indeed very beneficial to our plan, so let's wait for everyone to gather all the food together, and then move it to that place."
"The expert has already helped me deliver the food."
Shangguan smiled and quickly pointed to the pile of corn and wheat in the room.
When Feng Lingzun and Liu Cheng entered the room, they were all surprised.
Half the house full of food.
If it weren't for the fact that it was borrowed from an expert, they would all suspect that Shangguan Xiaoxiao had supernatural powers.
"Xiaoxiao, the expert really helped a lot."
Feng Lingzun motioned to Liu Cheng to let him see if this pile of food could be transported today.
"Let's move it tomorrow morning. In case the locusts strike in the middle of the night and the vision is not good, it will affect our plan. We will dig out the big hole today."
"Yes, then tomorrow."
The group discussed the plan again, and then went to the village to collect all kinds of food from the villagers. They were all concentrated in Shangguan Xiaoxiao's room, waiting for the locust swarm to be dealt with tomorrow.
the next day.
Shangguan Xiaoxiao got up early because she was going to fight the locust swarm today, so she didn't dare to sleep in, otherwise, the villagers would suffer heavy losses.
As soon as she walked out of the room, she saw Feng Lingzun already standing in the courtyard.
Last night, he came to Shangguan Xiaoxiao again in the middle of the night, and took him to discuss his plan several times, for fear of making mistakes.
"Are we moving the grain now?"
Just after Shangguan Xiaoxiao finished speaking, he saw the village chief brought a few villagers with bags in their hands and came to the yard.
"Young Master Mo, Miss Xiaoxiao, I called a few strong people and asked them to help carry the food there together."
"Alright, then thank the village chief."
Feng Lingzun thanked the village chief, and then smiled at Shangguan.
"Xiaoxiao, you stay here and direct them to carry the food. I'll go ahead and see how Liucheng's preparations are going."
"Well, I'll go over when the food is finished."
"Okay, the idea is safe, remember to apply the ointment."
Feng Lingzun warned again, and then quickly left the yard.
"Grandpa, the village chief, let them come into my room to carry the food. We have to deliver the food as soon as possible so that the locusts can be prevented from entering the village."
"Okay, hurry up and move the food."
The village chief directed these people to move the food, while Shangguan Xiaoxiao wondered if there were still villagers who had not joined the team to resist the locusts. After all, more people would be needed to help later.
"Grandpa, the village chief, will all the villagers participate in this operation?"
"Hey~" the village chief sighed, "Don't worry, there are still a few timid people who are afraid of death, but I will persuade them later."
After understanding the meaning of the village chief, Shangguan Xiaoxiao didn't say anything, but helped them put the food into bags together, and then transported it smoothly to the open land at the entrance of the village.
When Shangguan Xiaoxiao finished carrying it and returned to the village again, he found that the remaining villagers had been gathered.
The village chief was looking at the villagers with a serious face and said.
"Fathers and villagers, I know you are all afraid of locusts, but the locusts have already arrived in front of us. If we don't eliminate them as soon as possible, then our village, and all the villagers who work hard, will be ravaged by locusts. Yesterday Mo The son also told everyone, I hope everyone can work together to eliminate the locusts. If you are afraid of being bitten by the locusts, I have the ointment provided by Xiaoxiao girl. I tried it yesterday, and it really works, so I hope Each of you can fight the locusts together."
"Village chief, I'm sorry, we were too timid."
After some heartfelt words from the village chief, those timid people finally expressed their willingness to join the fight against the locusts.
A group of villagers began to discuss at length, saying anything.
Even women who usually don't like to participate in this kind of thing came to the village chief's side and expressed their willingness to support the village chief.
"Everyone, since everyone is willing to support us, then we must be even more courageous, at all costs, to eliminate the locust swarms and let the village return to the time when they lived and worked in peace and contentment."
"We have to get rid of the locust swarms, we have to get rid of them."
"Okay, then you can follow the plan I said. The most important thing now is to keep the children at home obediently, and everyone else will follow me to the entrance of the village."
"let's go."
Looking at their appearance, Shangguan Xiaoxiao suddenly felt that no matter how scared he was, as long as he took that step bravely, that would be the biggest progress.
