Seeing everyone's mindless worship of her, Li Mengyue felt like she was back to the days when she was the boss of a killer organization.

Due to her high fighting power, she has been taking on difficult missions above S level since her debut and has never been defeated. She is recognized as the uncrowned king in the killer world.

Later, he became the boss of the organization. Every time he held a mobilization meeting, he would receive admiring looks from his subordinates and they would shout out magic slogans mindlessly, which is similar to the current scene.

The only difference is that her environment has changed. She is no longer the boss of an organization, but an unknown rural girl.

The villagers of Xinghua Village trust Li Mengyue so much, of course, Li Mengyue will not let anyone down.

"Listen to me, everyone. The locust plague will indeed wipe out everyone's livelihood, but as long as we are prepared, even if the crops in the fields are completely destroyed, this locust plague may allow everyone to not starve for three to five years."

"Wow!"

"Did you hear what Li Mengyue said?"

"Needless to say, I know that with Li Mengyue in the village, having enough food and warm clothes is no longer a dream."

"Oh my god! Not going hungry for three to five years, I wouldn't even dare to dream of that."

"I don't believe it. How could this be possible?"

"I don't doubt Li Mengyue's ability, but what she said is too unreliable."

Although every villager was surprised to hear this, most of them couldn't believe it.

Rather than saying that they don’t believe it, it’s better to say that their knowledge is limited and they can’t imagine what to do to store enough food for three to five years.

However, there are a few people who are still clear-headed.

After Li Mengyue finished saying this, although she felt it was a bit far-fetched, she was still thinking about how to make use of the locusts that kept flying towards the village so that they could firmly grasp this huge wealth bestowed by God.

While everyone was talking, Li Mengyue looked at Li.

"Mom, take someone to get out the things that were prepared in advance."

"Okay, Yueyue."

At this moment, no one asked Li Mengyue what she had asked people to prepare. They just thought it was related to what Li Mengyue had said before.

The aunt who had a good relationship with Li followed her to get the things.

"Grandpa Village Chief, there are a lot of things. Please send some people to go with us."

Soon Li and a group of people came out with things.

"Each of you will receive a large locust catching net. I will continue to collect locusts. Two cents per pound."

"what!"

"really?"

"Give me one quickly, no, I need to go home and get something to pack."

"Me too."

"me too."

……

"No need to take anything. There are too many locusts this time. Not everything can fit."

Li Mengyue knew that time was tight, so she spoke directly.

"Everyone works together to catch the locusts and put them in the pond, and then we take them out. I will pay you by the kilogram."

"I will settle the money with the village chief based on how many kilograms it will weigh in the end."

"Okay, let's all go home and rest for an hour to recover some strength."

"Oh, by the way, before going to bed, everyone should go to my house and have a bowl of herbal tea."

As soon as Li Mengyue finished speaking, the villagers cheered, picked up the fishing nets, and rushed to Li's house.

At this time, everyone understood that what Li Mengyue meant was that the locust plague, if used properly, would not be a bad thing but a good thing.

Needless to say, a locust plague will bring countless locusts. Even if the whole village works together, they have no idea how many locusts they can catch.

But one thing is certain, they are making a fortune at two cents per pound.

However, the locusts that are arriving this time are the vanguard, and the main force is still behind. It is estimated that it will not take long for the locust army to reach Wuning County at the speed of advancement.

Only then will the real locust plague arrive.

Grandma Wang, whose hands and feet were sore, was so excited when she heard the price of two cents per pound.

He moved swiftly with the catching net in hand, not looking at all like he was so frightened that he couldn't move.

"Grandma Wang, these locusts are just a minor problem now. Go drink some herbal tea and rest for an hour, then we can catch more locusts later."

Grandma Wang wanted to say that she was not tired, but she saw Li Mengyue's eyes that did not allow for rejection.

I had to regretfully give up on the vanguard of the locusts and go to have some cold tea and take a rest.

Li Mengyue looked at the locusts flying around and gave orders to the duck army, letting them eat the locusts as much as they wanted without restraint.

That’s right, the 30,000 ducks raised by Li Mengyue have never been full.

They only eat until they are 80% full, and they will not eat anymore even if a locust flies past them.

The reason why Li Mengyue did this was because there were not many locusts in Xinghua Village. If the ducks were allowed to eat them freely, the villagers would be in trouble.

Now that the locust plague has begun, there is no need to worry about not having enough locusts to eat.

Therefore, when the ducks received the order to eat as much as they wanted, they all ran to the fields.

"Quack quack!"

Together with the ducks raised in the village, there were more than 30,000 ducks at once, running towards the locust vanguard, stretching out their devilish mouths, and quickly harvesting the lives of the locusts.

In other words, the seemingly large number of locust vanguards disappeared into the stomachs of more than 30,000 ducks at a very fast speed.

In this way, even if the villagers go to rest, they don’t have to worry about their homes being destroyed by locusts in a short period of time.

Her purpose of collecting locusts before was to provide the villagers with extra income so that they would not have to tighten their belts every day due to food shortage and their children would become extremely thin.

Of course, she never does business at a loss. If she wasn't burdened with a mission worth 100 million gratitude points, the lives of the villagers would be none of her business.

But what she didn't expect was that the locust trading, which was originally done with selfish motives, would actually bring her such a big surprise.

Not only did he collect more than three million gratitude points, but he also won the trust of the villagers.

She believed that no matter what she said, the villagers would believe it and carry it out unconditionally.

Such a group of lovely people softened her cold heart. She really didn't want to see them fall into despair under the ruthless locust plague and become refugees who had to leave their homes.

But she wanted to live in Xinghua Village, a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, and raise her babies.

If all the villagers left, what would be the point of leaving only their family behind?

Based on the above reasons, it is imperative to protect Xinghua Village.

The locusts that frightened the villagers would naturally be used by her when they came to her. No matter how large the number of locusts was, she would make the best use of them and lay a good foundation for the future development of Xinghua Village.

As for the concern, the villagers were tired after a day and a night and would not have the energy to catch the locusts when they arrived.

That didn't exist. She had already asked her mother to prepare Lingquan herbal tea for everyone.

The herbal tea with sufficient spiritual spring water added, not to mention a bowl, even drinking half a bowl can help an exhausted old man recover his strength in a short time.

What's more, Lingquan water can also improve physical fitness. It can be said that the elderly in the village will have much better physical fitness after drinking Lingquan herbal tea.

Not to mention being ten years younger, being about three years younger than people of the same age is still no problem.

Grandma Wang, who is over 70 years old, is a good example.

In the past, at Grandma Wang's age, she wouldn't have been able to finish physical work like harvesting rice for a whole day and night, let alone just one lunch.

But now, Grandma Wang is still in good spirits after harvesting the rice.

If she hadn't stopped her, Grandma Wang would have continued catching locusts without taking a rest.
