The casual life of the flat space

Village chief Wang and other village elders had no objection to handing all the children over to her. After that, the word spread in the village that if there was anything, the children would be sent to Lao Bai's house, so that the adults would not have to worry about one thing and lose the other. When they were catching insects two years ago, one child fell into the water tank and the other fell into the manure pit. This could avoid natural disasters and man-made disasters.

Without any worries, everyone over the age of fifteen in Xianhe Village, except those who were too old to take care of themselves, those who were too sick to get up, and those who were in confinement after childbirth, came out to catch insects.

So when Bai Tieying finished serving the golden eagle's "Xiangyun" team and finally went down the mountain, the scene she saw was "men, women, old and young all joined the battle, vowing to eliminate the insect plague."

In fact, the people of Xianhe Village, or Dayu, originally had some methods. However, they were not well-prepared beforehand and each of them worked on their own afterwards. Before, Bai Tieying faced the critical eyes of the village elders and presented his corresponding methods one by one. Unexpectedly, it was passed smoothly.

At that time, Village Chief Wang said: "Young people don't know the taboos, but Tieying is a child and she doesn't mind what she says." This was a way for her to save face.

Then he continued, "But now Tieying is the head of the Bai family, and he can be treated as an adult. I think what she said about 'preventing trouble before it happens' is indeed necessary.

I won't talk about chickens, ducks, and geese. Even if I thought of it, I don't have the money to prepare it. But we know that wormwood can repel mosquitoes, but why didn't I think of it before that it can also be used to repel that thing?

They say that you can't deal with those with wings, but have you ever really thought about how to prevent them? Tieying suddenly realized the idea of ​​using sackcloth to cover them, but can't we really think of her methods? Yes, sackcloth can't cover much land, but if I can grab a bite of food, I'd be happy to go shirtless!

Hey! The brothers are all aware of the situation this year, but we may be too old to speak or do anything. This is not good. Is this still like the people of our Xianhe Village? Thinking back to our ancestors..."

After recalling the past with the village elders, Village Chief Wang decided, "Well, my third son is the most organized, and I will recommend someone who is not related to me. I will ask him to plan what each family should prepare, so that if something unexpected happens, we won't be in a dilemma.

In addition, when the brothers go back, they should also notify the families around them and ask them to prepare the net bags and red and white clothes in advance, and then just hang them on the pole. The linen should also be placed in an easy-to-reach place. Don't put it in the bottom of the box when you hear that it won't be sold this year. Can it wait for you to look for it when it arrives?

I also think the clothes and masks that Tieying mentioned are also necessary. When you come here, it's always dark. If you don't move, you'll be covered in them in a short while. If you move, you'll be walking around in that stuff. Not to mention the bad smell, that stuff is like a toad. It's annoying even if it doesn't bite you!

Tell all the wives that even if they are reluctant to give up the cloth, they should sew a mask for the men. When something really happens, the men will have to take over! Besides, I want to see if she will need to cover her land with sackcloth. If she really wants to do that, she deserves to have all her land eaten up!

Also, from today on, don't dump the wood ash into the dung heap. Sieve it and keep it ready for later use. Tieying! Lime needs to be bought. I'll leave this to you. The villagers will share the cost. By the way, did you buy the aconite you mentioned?"

Seeing Bai Tieying nod, Village Chief Wang said, "By the way, the Sophora flavescens and wild celery that we asked everyone to find before should be gathered in the next two days. Mugwort is easy to find, so you can use this. Didn't Brother Bai say that these are all useful?

As for which chickens should come out on which day, I think Li Dazhuang's chickens are doing a good job. The chickens are getting fat very quickly and they have started laying eggs in just a few days! As long as the chickens don't grow wings, they can get a lot of food this year.

There are so few crops in the fields that you can hardly see them. I think that this winter, families should not sell all their crops. Even if they give up some of their crops, they still have eggs. When spring comes, chickens will go to the fields to catch insects. Isn't that better than catching them yourself early in the morning and late at night?

Finally, each family contributed people to dig the ditch for the fire, and those who had stone mills moved them to the threshing ground. If this thing can really make fertilizer, we can have a good time! As for the water hole, we can use the existing reservoirs. After soaking the herbs, it is convenient to water the fields, and we can also soak anything else. If it has medicinal properties, we can fill it up and dig it again. It will also make it easier for people to carry water."

……

With the support of Village Chief Wang and others, Bai Tieying also let go. Compared with floods, droughts, hail, and locusts, the locust plague is the easiest to deal with. Nothing is done in vain, and all the preparations made in the past are now in use.

The sky as far as the eye can see is still covered with dark clouds, but only in Xianhe Village is the sun shining through the clouds.

The two groups of birds, especially the intelligent ones, were no less effective than thousands of winged children catching insects in the sky, and the effect was even more obvious than before.

Moreover, the two groups of birds are no longer as clearly distinguished as before. There are only two kinds of birds in the "Xiangyun" group anyway. This is equivalent to a group of children with black hair and black eyes against children with blond hair and blue eyes. Even the most ignorant ones would not recognize the wrong opponents.

But they somehow learned the principle that one plus one is greater than two - the small birds with fast flying speed were cutting up the locust army, the medium-sized birds were hunting and killing them among them, and the large birds were responsible for suppressing the surrounding areas with force, still carrying out Bai Tieying's previous strategic goal of "trying their best to stop them".

Although Bai Tieying had proposed the method of covering the fields, most of the farmland still could not be covered. After all, this place was different from Bai Tieying's original world, and a few hectares of insect-proof nets would do more good than harm, so the plant ash and lime stored before came in handy.

Everyone had their faces covered, so one could only roughly tell who they were by their clothes. Bai Tieying guessed that the man who led the Sanxin villagers to spread "grass and stone" ash on the crops should be Uncle Wu.

The refugees who could come to Bai Tieying were the ones left over by General Zhao and others, so most of them were old, weak, women and children. Because the outer clothes made for them were all gray-blue linen, and now they were covered with special oilcloth clothes, most of them were on the west side of the earth, except for the strong ones who were unknown where they were.

Bai Tieying looked around for a few seconds and turned back to the courtyard. Lou Jingou and Liu Shizhang, two foodies, were shaking their ponytails and stamping their feet in annoyance. Bai Tieying stuffed an apple into their ponytails to appease them and then went into the courtyard.
