The casual life of the flat space

Not long after Fei Lian flew back, the "Plucking the Golden Eagle" team flew to the north mountain first. Bai Tieying asked them to land in batches and put them in the space. Then she went to the village in the space and asked the soldiers who stayed in the space to put all the things that could hold water on the road. She also used everything in her house that could hold water to put it on the road.

Afterwards, the soldiers who stayed behind witnessed another miracle - Bai Tieying waved his hand, and in the blink of an eye, all the containers were filled with water. With another wave of his hand, thousands of birds of different sizes and appearances covered the road in the middle of the village.

Hou Laoliu later told Ding Afa that he bet that Ding Afa would never have seen such a variety of birds in his entire life. Even if he had, it would be impossible for him to see thousands of birds vomiting collectively!

Bai Tieying was relieved when she saw them vomit. Because Fei Lian had just told her that the smell before only made them feel that the locusts were unpalatable, but they could still eat them. However, after they caught them, the locusts gradually began to emit a more unpleasant smell. After they ate them reluctantly, their stomachs began to hurt, and some small birds could not even fly.

Bai Tieying didn't know why this happened, but Fei Lian said that the stench was gradually getting stronger. Generally speaking, it might be something secreted by the locusts, but fortunately the well water could detoxify.

From the beginning, Bai Tieying didn't think she could turn the tide, she just did some prevention and remedial work within her knowledge. So she wouldn't worry about the emergency for too long, as long as she tried her best!

Bai Tieying told the members of the "Plucking Golden Eagles" team, who were almost dying from drinking too much water, that when they go to catch the locusts next time, they should try to pinch the locusts with their beaks or claws, and they don't need to carry out their previous plan to intercept them.

Bai Tieying really had no choice but to raise the price - after this was done, he could let them drink three meals of well water.

But these birds that have begun to develop intelligence are really talkative! Even the red-crowned crane, which is supposed to be aloof, keeps chattering. Bai Tieying's brain, which was originally confused by the cold, seemed to be shutting down.

If it was the birdsong before she drank the well water, she would have automatically filtered it out because she couldn't understand it. But now it was like there were thousands of people talking in front of her, and most of them were "clip sounds". Who could stand this?

Fortunately, she quickly remembered that the space had a mute function, which saved her own brain and also gave a warning to these members who were a little arrogant after they were enlightened. When these members found that they could not speak, they who had been flapping their wings and demanding unlimited well water quickly bowed down for the "five dou of rice".

Bai Tieying had time to rotate and detoxify the two groups of birds because he had already completed the insect prevention plan for Xianhe Village with Village Chief Wang and other village elders.

When she was asking Village Chief Wang and others about what the locust plagues were like in previous years, she found that the locusts jumping on the ground were not that scary, but the locusts with wings "falling from the air" were really helpless.

For example, catching frogs and raising chickens and ducks were all done to prevent local insect plagues. If the insects were foreign, like those that can fly today, flocks of starlings would be dispatched to buy as much time as possible in order to preserve more crops.

In the past, people were very secretive when talking about the locust plague because there is a saying that goes "Don't talk too much, or you will get what you want." It was probably because they saw a lot of locusts on the ground, and then they said something, and the locust plague happened, and then this saying came into being.

Because Xianhe Village is backed by the Yubei Mountains, there is no sign before the locusts come. Even when the weather is good in Dayu, they suddenly fly over from the Yubei Mountains, that is, Lan Country. It's not that there are no good things in the Yubei Mountains, but food can attract the attention of locusts more, just like in front of a hungry person, the choice between a plate of meat and a plate of grass is beyond doubt.

Besides, there was no disaster warning at that time. Even if Dayu knew about the locust plague in the neighboring country, he would be secretly happy and sighed that "the emperor of Lan country has no moral integrity". Every time, only when a disaster is imminent will the people be organized to fight against it. It is said that there are officials who order not to harm locusts, saying that it is "against the harmony of nature".

Bai Tieying certainly knew that this was a natural law, and even her country had never given up on prevention and resistance. When the locust plague broke out in other countries, experts said that there was a reason why the locusts could not fly over, because they were not the same locusts as most of the locust plagues that her country had experienced in thousands of years of history. Since they had not come over for thousands of years, the possibility of this time was naturally very small.

However, after studying Dahao's books, Bai Tieying realized that the terrain here is very different from that of the original world, so she was not sure what kind of locust plague it was, whether it was local or foreign. So she tried her best to integrate and invested a lot without expecting anything in return. Finally, the village elders such as Village Chief Wang accepted her and listened to what she said.

But Bai Tieying is not an expert after all, nor did she study the relevant major. After using all the preventive measures she knew, she could only say something discouraging, "Do your best and leave the rest to fate!"

But the current situation in Xianhe Village is much better than Bai Tieying thought. Thanks to Bai Tieying, the people who followed her to sell mountain products and dried vegetables have some pocket money, so this year, each family is not in a hurry to sell the woven cloth and polished shoes as in the past, thinking that it is also good to buy new clothes and shoes for the family.

So when Bai Tieying had a general understanding, she suggested that every family could use their free time to ferment more hemp and weave more cloth, so that they would have ready-made materials whether they were used to cover crops to protect against "air raids" or to make insect bags.

If it is just a precaution, at most the price of cloth will be lower in the future, but which one do you prefer, cloth or grain? In the minds of farmers, there is no need to weigh it. Besides, if nothing happens, by then everyone will have finished weaving, and she can contact the merchant to buy it together, and the price will not be too different.

Bai Tieying herself still had a vague memory of a small-scale local locust plague three years ago, so she proposed to Village Chief Wang that if something really happened, her family would be responsible for the daily life and food of all the children in the village.

Village Chief Wang agreed with this. Apart from the small number of people, the other conditions of the Bai family were absolutely second to none. Besides, her family was at the end of the village, so if anything happened, she could run to the mountains, which was also a way out.
