Chapter 172 Destroy the Locusts
"Hahaha, that's great."
Shangguan smiled and cried excitedly.
After Feng Lingzun heard Shangguan Xiaoxiao's laughter, the nervousness on his face also eased, he immediately turned around and instructed Liu Cheng behind him, "I and the villagers will continue to fight the locusts, and you can set fire to the fire when the time is about right. ."
"Yes, Young Master Mo."
Liu Cheng put down the cloth strip in his hand, and poured the remaining gasoline into the big hole according to Shangguan Xiaoxiao's instructions.
"It's almost there, everyone back up a little, we're going to fire."
Feng Lingzun took a few steps back, took out the fire book, lit it, and threw it into the pit where the locusts were trapped.
The flames rose instantly.
Then everyone started to light the torches in their hands, igniting the locusts that were not photographed everywhere.
As the fire got bigger and bigger, crackling sounds could be heard everywhere.
Seeing this scene, Shangguan smiled and breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, she prepared in advance, otherwise, it is estimated that a little fire will not be able to completely eliminate the locust swarm.
At this moment, the piles of locusts were burning and crackling.
Shangguan Xiaoxiao just stood there, watching the locusts scorched.
Facing this scene, Feng Lingzun finally felt some relief in his heart.
As long as these locusts are burned to death, they will no longer attack the village and harm the villagers.
"Everyone, look, those locusts are all burned to death."
I don't know who shouted.
After hearing his words, all the villagers looked towards the middle.
When I saw the locust swarm, few of the ones that had been burned were struggling.
The villagers were very excited and hugged and cheered.
"It's great that these locusts are finally being burned."
"Yeah, finally you don't have to endure the ravages of locust swarms."
"It's safe, it's finally safe."
"Village chief, our village is finally able to get through this difficult time. These locusts are really abominable, they are a scourge. Now that they are eliminated, our crops have been preserved, and everyone can live in peace. already."
"Yes, yes, I can't bear to kill them for a long time. These beasts are really hateful. They dare to break into our territory. I really don't know whether to live or die."
Everyone shouted.
Hearing these voices, the village chief stood there with a helpless and relieved smile on his face.
Fortunately, under their persuasion, they were willing to fight the locust swarm together, otherwise, it would not have been possible to eliminate the locust so quickly.
Working together is the greatest capital.
I hope that when they encounter things in the future, they will think of what happened today.
When Shangguan smiled and saw that the locusts were finally dead, he breathed a sigh of relief and walked out from behind.
"Hahaha, Xiaoxiao girl, I heard that you came up with this method. We really didn't expect that you, a girl, actually have a powerful trick here. How did you come up with it?"
"Yes, yes."
A few villagers echoed together, "Miss Xiaoxiao, you are really amazing, I was scared just now."
"Yeah, Xiaoxiao girl is really too smart."
The villagers knew it was Shangguan Xiaoxiao's idea, and they began to praise her.
Shangguan smiled when he heard the words, scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "This... it's nothing. In fact, this method was told to me by an expert I know, and it's all thanks to him."
"Really? That's a big thank you to that expert. If you have a chance, thank him for me."
"Oh, don't be polite, it's just a little effort."
"That's it."
"Hahaha, everyone is so happy."
Hearing that Shangguan Xiaoxiao was so modest, everyone was embarrassed to continue to praise her.
"Everyone, hurry up and do your own thing, see if there is any food that hasn't been destroyed, pack it up and bring it back to the village. There are still many things that we need to do in the future."
The village chief spoke to the villagers.
Everyone heard the words and nodded immediately.
As a result, everyone ran to help the village chief, remove the paddy from the hills of the city, and check if there is any good food below.
Shangguan Xiaoxiao, Liu Cheng, and Feng Lingzun also helped to collect the undamaged food around them.
By the time everything was done, it was already evening.
The villagers were all tired and resting on the side, but their faces did not show fatigue, but were excited and satisfied.
But the village chief seemed to be very worried.
Because he thought that now the locust problem is solved, but the only food stored in the village is almost consumed.
At that time, everyone will not know where to get food, will they still be starving?
"Grandpa village chief, what's wrong with you?"
Shangguan smiled and seemed to see the village chief's concern, "Are you worried that there is no food to survive the winter?"
"Yes, Miss Xiaoxiao, although the locusts have been eliminated, everyone's food has also been consumed. What should I do now?"
"This question," she thought for a while, and then said to the village chief, "Grandpa village chief, I don't think it's getting too early, why don't you all go back to rest. For the rest, we'll figure out a solution tomorrow."
"Yes, village chief."
Feng Lingzun also came to the village chief and said in agreement, "I think everyone has been tired all day. Why don't you go back and have a good rest tonight, and let's find a solution for the rest."
Hearing the words, the village chief thought about it for a while, and felt that what they said was reasonable. Even if he was distressed, it would be useless now.
Afterwards, he said to everyone, "Since Young Master Mo and Miss Xiaoxiao said that they will help us find a solution tomorrow, then everyone should go home and have a good rest, and tomorrow, we will find a solution together and see if we can do it. more food."
"Ah."
"Yeah, then we'll go home and rest for the time being."
The villagers nodded.
Shangguan Xiaoxiao and Feng Lingzun also returned to the village chief's house. Feng Lingzun sat in front of the table, took a sip of tea, and sighed, "It's been really hard these days, but the problem of locusts has finally been dealt with. , but in the future, we have to help them resume production and give them some methods to control locusts."
"Yes, I think the most important thing now is how to help them get through this difficult time. After all, there is not much food left."
Liu Cheng also nodded in agreement.
"There will always be a way." Shangguan smiled and stretched out, "I have been worried for the past few days that if the locusts are eliminated, I will be very nervous, and now it is finally over. I feel that my whole body is relaxed, such a small problem. , think about it tomorrow."
Shangguan smiled with a relaxed look on his face.
