Just as Yang Zhijin, the five county magistrates, the yamen runners, and the people in the city were helpless in the face of the overwhelming locusts, the sound of chaotic footsteps came from afar.

Yang Zhijin was the first to look over, and the despair in his eyes gradually disappeared, replaced by shock and hope.

"Master Yang, Xinghua Village in Qingshan Town is here to help!"

Village chief Li led all the villagers to the outside of the county town to help kill the locusts.

When the five county magistrates heard the roar, they all looked over at the same time.

On the road leading to the county town, they saw a huge crowd of people walking towards them.

And everyone was holding a tool in their hands. Upon closer inspection, it was exactly the same as the capture net in Yang Zhijin's hand.

Yang Run opened his mouth in shock. All the people from Xinghua Village are here.

No, not only Xinghua Village, but also Zhoujia Village.

Before, he and the young master went to Xinghua Village and passed by Zhoujia Village, where they met Mrs. Zhou and several villagers.

He saw Mrs. Zhou in the crowd, which meant that someone from Zhoujia Village had also come.

Sure enough, he didn't have to wait long before he heard Village Chief Zhou shouting loudly.

"Master Yang, Zhoujia Village in Qingshan Town is here to help!"

Zhoujiacun followed closely behind, moving towards the city gate in an orderly manner.

Then the people at the city gate only heard people reporting the identities of the people who came to help.

"Master Yang, the Lotus Village in Qingshan Town is here to help!"

"Master Yang, there is also Taohua Village in Qingshan Town."

"Master Yang, the same is true for our Stone Village in Qingshan Town."

"Master Yang, Qingshan Town Guihua Village +1."

"Master Yang, the same applies to Meihua Village in Qingshan Town."

Soon, people were moving around at the city gate, and everyone was on high alert, not letting any locust escape.

The five county magistrates and the people in the city, who were in despair, felt their hearts ache and tears flowed unconsciously when they saw so many people coming to help.

I don’t know whether I was moved or felt that the increasing number of locusts was no big deal.

Villagers from seven villages came to the city gate. More than 4,000 people stood together, forming a huge black mass. It was a spectacular sight.

Just when Yang Zhijin wanted to say something, countless ducks ran over from the other side.

The key point is that none of these ducks are running around. They are all lined up in neat rows, like a formation of soldiers.

And the leading duck in the front right made a quacking sound from its mouth from time to time, and the ducks behind it followed suit.

The deafening creaking sound stunned not only the people at the original city gate, but also the villagers from the seven villages who came to support.

I couldn't believe what I saw.

These ducks must be smart, otherwise how could they be more obedient and disciplined than humans?

If you don’t believe it, just look at those neat and uniform steps. They walk so neatly, as if they have been trained thousands of times.

"Hey, isn't that duck with a red string tied to its wing mine?"

"Hey, my house is over there."

"And my ten ducks."

"One of my ducks is blind. The one sitting in the front is definitely mine."

"My family has a tuft of hair on their head, and I am not mistaken."

As the army of ducks marched in orderly steps towards the city gate, many villagers found their own ducks among the flock and started talking about it.

That’s right, in addition to the 30,000 ducks raised by Li Mengyue, there are also ducks raised by every household in the village.

Later, the other six villages also bought ducks from Li Mengyue. It can be said that the ducks from the seven villages added up to almost 20,000.

As a result, the duck army totaled more than 50,000.

One can imagine that such a large flock of ducks, all walking in unison, rolling forward like an iron stream, exuding a shocking power with every step.

The people at the city gate, whose hands and feet were sore from catching locusts, gradually became resolute under the influence of the momentum of the duck army, and they believed that they could definitely eliminate the locusts.

Perhaps the people in the seven villages did not realize that their coming to help only moved Yang Zhijin and others for a moment, but there was no change in their mentality.

When the army of ducks arrived, they were originally skeptical that the locusts could be wiped out, but now they were full of confidence.

So the following scene appeared among the crowd at the city gate.

"Dude, why are you crying? Isn't there someone here to help?"

"No, I'm not crying. You're seeing things. Sand got into my eyes."

"Yes, you didn't cry. I was dazzled, but I couldn't help wondering why I was crying."

"Woo..."

Some people were even more direct and cried heart-wrenchingly, regardless of the thousands of people present.

"Okay, why are you crying? Hurry up and kill those damn locusts."

"Yes, don't cry, kill them quickly."

Then many people responded.

"Kill the locusts!"

At the same time, villagers at the city gate and in seven villages all started moving, picked up the tools in their hands, and began to repeat the previous actions.

Catch locusts, dig a pit, and bury them.

Yang Zhijin's heart was pounding with excitement. He didn't expect that he would not be respected by the people after only being in Wuning County for two or three months.

They would also blame him for the locust plague, saying that he failed to make arrangements in advance, which caused them to suffer huge losses.

He was ready to accept the people's abuse after the locusts passed.

As a result, the people in the city were willing to support him in exterminating the locusts, and the villagers of Qingshan Town also came to support him, which moved him beyond words.

"hiss--"

"Master——"

While Yang Zhijin was daydreaming, a locust boldly flew onto his face.

Seeing that it was not knocked down, the locust boldly bit Yang Zhijin on the face.

This made Yang Zhijin cry out in pain. Yang Run, who was standing next to him, was catching locusts and saw his young master being bitten.

Ignoring the locusts caught in the net, he raised his foot and stepped on the daring locust. Not satisfied with that, he twisted it hard a few more times until the locust's body was beyond recognition.

"Master, are you okay?"

"Well, go catch the locusts."

"Yes, Master."

The other five county magistrates were also "shocked" by the scene in Wuning County. Not to mention the aid team of several thousand people, even the more than 50,000 ducks gave them a huge shock.

After Yang Zhijin recovered from the pain of being bitten by the locusts, he got into the state in a second.

He looked at the locusts in the sky with cold eyes, hatred burning in his heart, and gave orders loudly.

"Folk people, stop the locusts."

"Yes, my lord."

The deafening response was so loud that it once again inspired people.

"Duck army, eat as much as you want for free."

"Gah~gah~gah~"

I don’t know if they understood what Yang Zhijin said, but as soon as he finished speaking, more than 50,000 ducks quacked in unison.
