Crossing the farm gate, the whole family reunites in the disaster year

Lin and Cui Jingwen were confused and followed him into the yard.

The village head moved a bench and sat at the door, his eyes dull and lifeless.

"Uncle Village Chief?"

The village head slowly raised his head, and after meeting Lin's eyes, he jumped up high, so agile that he didn't look like an old man at all.

"Let's go into the city."

He really couldn't stand it anymore.

"This is?"

Youxi trembled and said, "The locusts are so scary. They made so much noise last night that I couldn't sleep at all."

To be precise, even the headman and his family couldn't sleep.

It's not just noise, it's a mental attack.

As soon as the village head closed his eyes, he seemed to see a swarm of locusts flying towards the crops.

My heart is trembling.

After a night of tossing and turning, the locusts were now exhausted, so they didn't seem to be making much noise when Lin came over.

But you can imagine how tragic last night was.

"I didn't think it through. I should have moved the locusts further away."

The village head waved his hand: "It's none of your business. This matter is too important. I have to keep an eye on it. It's just one night. I can handle it."

For the village head, the stability of Xiahe Village comes before his own.

The village head brought two bamboo baskets and asked, "What else did you say you wanted to see yesterday?"

"Cut it open and see if it's infected."

There is no testing equipment here, so we can only take some samples and cut them open to see.

The headman's wife went back to the house to get a pair of scissors.

As soon as the bamboo basket was opened, two locusts flew out instantly. Youxi immediately took out his slingshot and aimed it in the direction the locusts flew away.

"Don't worry about them." Lin methodically caught a few locusts and replaced the bamboo cage. "Just let them fly away."

With a flick of the scissors, several locusts were cut in two.

The village head excitedly said, "It's really yellow!"

"Grandpa, this one too, and that one too!"

In a batch of seven, four changed color.

The village head laughed loudly, thinking that the suffering he had endured last night was not in vain. If he could completely kill the locusts, he would be willing to suffer every day.

"Youxi, go call your uncle Mazi and ask him to bring the ox cart over."

Lin opened a few more cages and took samples for testing. It turned out that about 50% of the locusts were infected with the disease.

The remaining people who have not been infected will probably die soon.

A dozen cages filled half of the car, and with a few people going into the city, they set off in a mighty procession.

Uncle Mazi kept looking back at the cage.

He had been driving an ox cart for more than ten years and had done a lot of work in weddings and weddings. Who would have thought that one day a locust would ride on his ox cart.

The villagers who came to the city together couldn't help but grumble.

"Is Jingwen Niang's method really effective? Why does it sound so mysterious to me?"

After the party at the headman's house ended last night, the women went back to their homes, and the news spread throughout the village with their footsteps.

I've never heard that locking up locusts and then releasing them can kill all of them.

Another woman said confidently, "I believe Jingwen's mother. Jingwen is a well-educated child. Maybe it's written in the book."

The ox cart had such a small space that the sound of the pressure reached Cui Jingwen's ears word for word.

His originally sloppy sitting posture instantly straightened up.

It feels great to be trusted.

This time the ox cart did not stop at the city gate, but drove all the way to the gate of the county government office.

There was a constable guarding each side of the county government gate, with a sword hanging on his waist. Ordinary people would feel their legs trembling when they saw him from afar.

The ox cart slowly stopped.

The constable stepped forward and asked, "Who is it?"

The village head straightened his clothes and was about to speak when Cui Jingwen stepped forward and said, "What a coincidence, Brother Zhao, you happen to be on duty. I came here just in time to bring you something."
