Chapter 233 Locusts overwhelm the land
233 Scary locust
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 sighed again: "These two dolls are incredible. The method of controlling locusts I just told you was provided to my mentor by these two dolls."
As soon as these words came out, County Magistrate Li was stunned, and then he felt annoyed. Why didn't he read the content 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.
While Li County Magistrate was full of thoughts, Li Yu had already started working.

Song Renying really cared about the children. He was worried about the safety on the road, so he sent someone to **** 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 are Zhao Zhitong's family, Wei's family, Qiao's family, and Zhao Butcher's family.
They all knew that Zhao Zhitong and the others had gone to the county government, and they weren't worried at first, but after seeing for a long time, they didn't come back, so 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 eagerly rushed out to help, and some came out to watch the excitement.
From a distance, seeing the donkey cart approaching, someone in the crowd exclaimed.
"Hey, look, they're back, back!"
Seeing this, the parents rushed to 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 screamed 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.
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 a very big and big official, even the county magistrate will kowtow to him!"
"Wow!"
There was another burst of exclamation from the crowd: "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, I will notify us 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 locusts so much that they shouted to knock down the locusts.
Naturally, there are also some who don't believe it, such as Mrs. Zheng and Mrs. Wang who are standing outside the crowd, but at the moment they just pursed their mouths and did not make a sound.
After all, locusts are still the worst enemy!
—
Zhao Zhitong was right. Sure enough, not long after leaving, the village head 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, the 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 if they hand over their chickens, ducks, and geese, they will not be able to return. 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.
Thus, those people began to hand over chickens, ducks and geese to Lizheng's house.
But the person in charge of collecting 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 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 are 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 also gathered together. The strong men went to the field to dig deep pits and erect high nets in the direction where the locusts flew.
Women use wooden sticks to tie shoes, put nets in pockets, and make tools for catching locusts.
Even the little doll is not idle.
While 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 people at the head of the field shouted louder and louder, all the villagers mobilized together.
In the past few days, the villagers basically lived on the ground, fearing that they would not be able to catch up when the locusts arrived.
At this moment, upon hearing the shout, they all picked up the shovel guys, jumped up, and rushed forward one after another.
Zhao Zhitong also held a stick with a shoe tied on it, together with Qiao Muchen and Zhao Yue, howling and rushing forward with the crowd.
It was the first time I saw the army of locusts, and the shock brought to the little ones was undeniable. They came from the north, covering the sky and covering the sun, like a large cloud, pressing down in an instant...
Bouncing on the ground, flying in the sky, humming, densely packed, people with trysophobia, 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, dodged his feet to shake them off, then closed his eyes, hopped his feet and began to slap **** the ground.
The 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, lest the locusts would fly out again.
The locusts from high places hit the net pockets and landed one after another. The women took their shoes under the net pockets and slapped the ground frantically.
That ruthlessness shows the villagers' hatred for locusts.
But the locusts are very alert. When they hit the net and were disturbed, they began to fly randomly and to high places.
Therefore, these two methods cannot be eliminated at all.
At this time, the chickens, ducks and geese were released.
Those locusts that slipped through the net fell on the wheat seedlings and ate the crops crazily.
Then the chickens, ducks and geese rushed into the field like a large army, and when they saw the locusts, they all became energetic.
All lowered their heads and started pecking frantically.
