The whole class traveled through time, the prince's wife was exiled to the wasteland and became

Falcon tilted his head and stared at the can of cod in Jiang Lili's hand without moving, as if he wanted to eat the can first. Suddenly, he felt a chill behind him, and the back of his neck was unexpectedly pinched by a murderous big hand.

Xin Che grabbed the falcon's neck and said in a cold voice, "Go and chase the locusts. When you have chased them away, you can eat."

The falcon, which originally looked dull, seemed to be activated all of a sudden, flapping its wings. Xin Che let go of it, and the falcon flew out, making a long and crisp sound in the air, which was very penetrating.

Jiang Lili's eyes widened: "It's playing dumb with me. It clearly understood what I said, but it still pretended to be a stupid and gluttonous ghost."

"Don't be too gentle with this silly bird."

Xin Che looked at the falcon. This stupid eagle was becoming smarter and had two faces.

The villagers who were chasing away locusts noticed an eagle spreading its wings in the sky:

"Where did such a big eagle come from?"

"Do eagles eat locusts? Are we saved?"

After the falcon hovering in the sky let out a long cry, birds began to fly out from the mountains and forests in the distance.

Birds flying from all directions followed the falcon and swooped down on the crops covered with locusts.

Jiang Lili hurriedly shouted: "Fellow villagers in the fields, please evacuate first, so as not to be accidentally injured by birds!"

The villagers who were chasing away the locusts gradually came out of the fields and looked at the sudden flying birds and the majestic falcon, which was eating and driving away the locusts. They felt a sense of salvation.

Someone had seen that it was Jiang Lili who summoned the eagle. At this time, Tianshui Village Chief Liu took the lead and walked up to Jiang Lili and said, "Miss, thank you for asking the eagle to help you just now. You are the benefactor of all the people in Tianshui Village!"

Zhang Xin had previously told Village Chief Liu that the exile team would come to the village to end the exile. At this moment, Village Chief Liu was very enthusiastic: "I saw everyone helping to drive away the locusts just now. You are welcome to stay in our Tianshui Village. However, the conditions in our Tianshui Village are not good, so I hope you don't mind."

Everyone was very happy to hear that they had a place to stay tonight, even though they didn't have to camp in the mountains!

After Jiang Lili exchanged a few pleasantries with the village chief, she solemnly warned, "Don't take it lightly. These birds will leave when they are full. You must take advantage of this respite to find a solution quickly."

"To be honest, we in Tianshui Village worship the locust god every day. There has never been such a large locust plague before. It's just that everyone has been busy with farm work and worshiping the locust god recently, so we have slacked off."

People will control locust plagues through prayer, and will ask the gods for protection, to eliminate locust plagues and protect the harvest of crops.

Village chief Liu's face was full of regret: "This locust plague is probably a punishment for our village."

"I will ask the whole village to worship the locust god when I get back."

What? Worship the locust god to solve the problem?

Jiang Lili was dumbfounded. With so many locusts, they must have laid their eggs on a large scale on dry soil somewhere. She had to drive out all the locusts in the ground first, then find the eggs and disinfect them. Yes, the locusts would definitely come back to the soil.

Why are we still worshipping the locust god?

Jiang Lili wanted to express her doubts about the village chief's worship of the locust god. Seeing Jiang Lili's puzzled expression, Xin Che lowered his voice and explained to Jiang Lili: "There are not many ways for the people to deal with locust plagues. In a remote place like Tianshui Village, there are even fewer ways to deal with locust plagues. The tradition of praying to the locust god to bless the crops is deeply rooted."

Jiang Lili understood what Xin Che meant. Worshiping the locust god was a tradition that people had believed in for hundreds of years. She couldn't shake it by talking about science now, so it would be a waste of time.

During the conversation, some birds had already flown away after their meals, but there were still some locusts crawling around where they had stayed, and more locusts were flying over from afar.

As a young man who travels around the country frequently, Zhang Xin is not so convinced by the locust god. He knows that worshipping the god will not work and can only serve as a psychological comfort. So he asked Jiang Lili, "Miss, do you have any other methods?"

Jiang Lili turned her gaze to Master Liao.

Master Liao had already reviewed all his life's learning in his mind. He said in a childish and clear voice: "I saw a lot of haystacks in the village. These haystacks are lit and placed in the fields. Locusts are afraid of fire and smoke, and burning haystacks can drive them back."

"If you have ducks at home, you can drive them to the fields. The ducks can eat some of the locusts!"

Village Chief Liu frowned and said, "Those haystacks are reserved for repairing houses. How can we burn them so easily? What if they burn our crops?"

Some people feel sorry for their ducks: "Ducks are precious poultry in our village. It's not easy to raise ducks. What if they get sick from eating these locusts?"

After hearing what Liao Dabao said, Zhang Xin, a carpenter and friend of Master Cen, felt that what the kid said made a lot of sense. According to what he had seen and heard everywhere, locusts are attracted to light and are afraid of smoke. He quickly took Zhang Dun's parents back to get the haystack, as any amount of crops could be saved.

Master Liao scratched his head. Xiaopang’s pesticides haven’t arrived yet, so he has to do something to protect the crops before all the birds leave!

Some people are already starting to get upset:

"Why listen to a kid's nonsense!"

"Whose child is this? Stop giving me advice and get down to business!"

Seeing that Master Liao’s words were ineffective, Jiang Lili asked Master Liao to type in the group and she would repeat it.

After receiving the third solution from Master Liao, Jiang Lili pointed to a piece of land not far away where no crops had been planted: "Then let's dig a big hole in the open space in front, and then light a fire to attract the locusts!"

Some people questioned: "What if the bugs don't come? Wouldn't it be a waste of effort?"

"The village raised money to rent that piece of land. What if it gets damaged?"

Village Chief Liu scratched his head and said, "Girl, why don't you call some more birds over? There is such a big forest on the mountain. You can even control eagles!"

"My wife happened to rescue that eagle. It's a blessing from God that it can come out to help. Are you still not satisfied, village chief?"

Xin Che had a cold face and a look of hostility between his brows. The villagers didn't dare to speak.

Xin Che handed Jiang Lili the water bag and said, "Drink some water. We have done our best."

Jiang Lili originally wanted to stay overnight in the village and help out wherever she could, but she didn't expect these people to be so stubborn, so she just gave up.

Anyway, I'm leaving tomorrow, so I can make some money by selling the insecticide directly to the government.

It’s not that no one listened to what Jiang Lili and Master Liao said.

The families of Zhang Xin and Zhang Dun came with haystacks, and Zhang Xin asked Zhang Dun to ask Liao Dabao and Jiang Lili where to put the hay for burning.

Zhang Xin's wife brought some persimmons to Jiang Lili and her group: "Thank you for your hard work. Stay at my house tonight."

Jiang Lili nodded: "It's okay, we are both causing trouble to each other."

Zhang Xin and Zhang Dun's families lit up haystacks near the land they rented. With the guidance of Master Liao, the smoke from the burning haystacks, with the help of the wind direction observed by Master Liao, quickly reached the locusts that covered a large area of ​​the land.

Master Liao was chewing a persimmon while looking at Zhang Xin, who respected him very much, with great satisfaction: "Which other plots of land do you own? Show them to me!"
