"The people behind the scenes who incited the disaster victims to riot could not possibly be truly thinking about the victims themselves."

Lin Ye raised his eyebrows: "If I'm gone, who will benefit? There are so many people who hope I'll die, but I don't have a clue for the moment."

It seems that his student is also having a hard time in Lingnan. Marquis Zhaoping warned him: "It's not easy to be an official. You must be more careful these days."

At this time Jiang Lili, Xin Che and Xin Cheng came over with buckets of medicine. Now everyone already knew how to mix the medicine, so Liao Dabao didn't have to worry about it.

Lin Ye was filled with emotion: "Fortunately, Miss Jiang and Brother Liao's insecticides can curb the locust plague, otherwise I would be in danger of my life."

If the locust plague can be contained, the unrest can be controlled at the source. The only remaining problem now is disaster relief and appeasement.

Jiang Lili and Xin Cheng taught the villagers and Lin Ye's runners how to use the spray bucket. Xin Che had just seen Liao Dabao's instructions and had already figured out the key points of spraying the medicine, so he led everyone to spray the medicine.

Because the number of spray barrels that Xiaopang can purchase is limited, and it is impossible for everyone to have a set of spray barrels, some people have to use torches to drive away the insects first and wait for support for spraying medicine.

Chen, Yang, and Yin Zhen were helping to make torches. Marquis Zhaoping took people and torches to drive away the insects. Everyone was busy working hard because they knew that as long as they made a name for themselves in this battle, Jiang Lili and Liao Dabao would receive large sums of money and would not have to worry about business.

On Liao Ji's side, the naughty kids who were conquered by Liao Ji's catching a snake with his bare hands last time followed him and chattered like followers.

"Boss, how can I help you?"

"Humph, those adults are so stupid that they don't believe what you say, brother."

"Boss, just give me your orders!"

The parents of these naughty children were a little dumbfounded. How could their naughty children be so obedient in front of this child who was less than two years old? Usually, what they said went in one ear and out the other.

Liao Ji asked the naughty kids to follow Chen and others to light torches, "Listen to the adults, if you dare to play with fire, I will catch snakes in the middle of the night and throw them on your beds!"

"Yes, boss!"

After listening to Master Liao's words, the naughty kids all went to help Chen make torches. The children who grew fast and were strong followed Marquis Zhaoping to the fields to drive away locusts and wait for the potion to be sprinkled on the area they were guarding.

Yin Zhen was overjoyed to see her child's appeal.

Many refugees originally offered only symbolic help to Tianshui Village in its fight against the locust plague. After all, it was not their own land, and they just wanted to stay overnight.

However, when they saw their own children joining in, they had to follow suit for the sake of their own children's safety, which passively boosted the enthusiasm of the entire exile team.

The more people help, the sooner Jiang Lili and Liao Ji can finish work.

The villagers of Tianshui Village were so ashamed to see that the children were so sensible and helpful, and even obeyed the instructions of the little kid and cooperated well with the adults. They remembered their previous remarks mocking Zhang Xin and the little kid, and their faces were filled with shame.

The Zhang family's land was treated early and the measures were in place. Now it has escaped the clutches of the locusts. The Zhang family felt relieved.

After they had a plan, they came over to help make torches to drive away the locusts. After all, they had been living together for decades and would see each other every day. They would lie to each other and help each other on weekdays, so as not to make the situation too awkward.

Those who had spoken rudely before no longer dared to talk to Zhang Xin. The children were so united, but the adults were just adding insult to injury to Zhang Xin's family in the same village.

Everyone was busy until 11:00 p.m., and the locust plague in the farmland of Tianshui Village had been contained.

Zhang Xin's family took the earliest measures and sprayed pesticides first, so the losses were within an acceptable range.

The villagers who went to the fields to check the damage to their crops were in tears.

Because they were too slow to act when the birds left, two-thirds of the crops in the field had been eaten beyond recognition.

Since the rice was a dwarf rice that could survive in the paddy fields, the vegetables grown in the vegetable fields were no longer edible, not even the small seedlings that were still growing were spared.

The village official who had fanned the flames in front of Lin Ye before had to face the situation of getting nothing. Now he looked at the Zhang family, who had so much land, but suffered less loss than him, and burst into tears of regret: "Why is it that the Zhang family has the most land, but has suffered the least loss!"

The other villagers also sat on their fields and cried bitterly, their hearts ached!

"It's our fault for not believing what that little prodigy said."

Village Chief Liu came over and spoke.

He had just been sitting on the edge of the field, staring blankly at his home. The crops had already rotted beyond recognition. He sat there for a long time before getting up. A lot of thoughts were already running through his mind.

The ritual to worship the locust god in the village has not yet been completed, but all the locusts in Zhang's field have been driven away.

Village Chief Liu has been the village chief for so many years, and he is still rational: "Okay, everyone, come with me to apologize to Miss Jiang and Liao Xiaoshengtong. Our previous attitude was indeed excessive."

"Also, I should apologize to the Zhang family for what I said just now. We are all from the same village, but you didn't show the solidarity of the children just now. It's really shameful."

Upon hearing this, the villagers lowered their heads and followed Village Chief Liu.

"Next we have to rely on Miss Jiang and her team to find the place where the locusts lay their eggs and kill them."

The old village chief who witnessed everything also sighed: "They are the great benefactors of our Tianshui Village. Don't feel awkward. If you don't understand something in the future, ask them for advice humbly. Don't be as stubborn as an old man like me."

"The things we can control are the most reassuring. We need to master more farming skills and cannot rely on worshiping the locust god."

Everyone came to Jiang Lili and Liao Ji, and Village Chief Liu bowed solemnly: "Miss Jiang, what I said to you before was too much and too anxious, but no matter what the reason is, I should express my apology to you. It was my ignorance."

"Thank you, little prodigy, for putting aside the past grudges and being willing to save our Tianshui Village."

Everyone expressed their apologies.

The more arrogant and sarcastic his words were before, the more humble he was now.

Some people even said to Jiang Lili and Liao Ji: "From now on we will not worship the locust god, we will worship you!"

Master Liao waved his hands quickly: "That's too much, too much, it will shorten your life!"

Liao Ji's tone and voice made everyone laugh, and the previous estrangement was dissolved in the apology.

Jiang Lili and Liao Ji had money to earn this time, so they didn't take the previous words to heart. They just went through the motions and exchanged a few words with everyone, saying that it was not a big problem. It was not like the villagers were as stubborn as before, and they couldn't get such a good advertising effect by sweeping away locusts.

Tonight's tense battle to prevent disasters has finally come to an end, and Village Chief Liu asked everyone to go back and rest.

But the villagers all looked uneasy and worried. Village Chief Liu also knew what they were worried about. They had no stored food to pay the rent and were going to starve.
