It took a lot of effort and time to scald so many locusts with boiling water. Seeing Xiao Xuan insisted on helping, Yin Bowu did not stop it.

Yin Miao and Wei Shi led the chickens back to the chicken pen, and every chicken and duck in the chicken pen seemed to have a round belly.

"I don't know if they'll be able to eat it tomorrow."

Zhang said.

"I'll fetch some water to feed them."

Yin Miao ran away.

She fished out the locked auspicious auspicious from the room, and took it into the space together.

The chickens in the space were still pecking at the sorghum rice. Yin Miao found more than a dozen chickens that were about the size of the chicken pen in the backyard, and planned to change them before leaving tomorrow.

After doing this, she scooped up some space water and fed it to the animals in the backyard as well water.

At night, each household in Changling Village did not rest immediately, and almost every household was allocated a lot of locusts. In order to prevent these locusts from escaping or laying eggs everywhere, each household planned to dispose of them that night.

Brother Han, with a face full of small wounds, squatted beside the black locusts and asked:

"Will there be so many bugs flying over tomorrow? Little Bao Niang has been crying for a long time."

Wei Shi felt distressed and touched the profile of her younger son. Fortunately, Yin He got some ointment from Su Wanfeng. Hearing the younger son ask this, she replied helplessly, "Who knows, let's see."

"If there is a god, he must be a bad old man."

Brother Han pouted and said that it was the first time he had seen so many people cry so sadly when he grew up so big.

"That's why Han'er has to be strong. Sometimes people just have to fight with God. If he loses the fight, it will be miserable."

Yin Miao thought it was funny, and took the opportunity to educate her.

"Han'er is very strong, I won't cry tomorrow."

Brother Han replied seriously.

Yin Miao smiled and brought another basket of locusts that had just been scalded to death to feed the pigs. She also planned to secretly collect some for the animals in the space.

"Let me do it."

The basket was picked up by a pair of hands, it was Xiao Xuan.

"..."

Yin Miao accepted her fate, it seems that the animals in the space today have no luck.

The two and a half small pigs ate slowly with their noses arched after the food came.

"You got those chickens and ducks, right?"

Yin Miao asked when she saw that there was no one around.

Suddenly, an official from the county government came to deliver chickens and ducks in the village, and she immediately thought of Xiao Xuan who was writing the letter that day. For some reason, she just felt that those were all arranged by Xiao Xuan.

"Well, that still didn't change anything."

There was an indescribable emotion in Xiao Xuan's words.

"Who said that a chicken and duck can eat 200 locusts a day, 400 are 80,000 a day, and 800,000 in ten days, so many locusts have been eliminated."

Yin Miao felt that he should not underestimate the contribution of the chickens, soldiers and ducks. If it wasn't for those chickens and ducks this time, I'm afraid there would have been nothing left in the fields.

The people on the side were silent for a moment:

"Miss Yin is very good at arithmetic, and her words have some truth. In life...you have to fight with God."

"Yeah, you still have to work hard."

Yin Miao poured the remaining locusts into it. Wasn't this what she just said to Brother Han?

The dinner Yun He prepared was ready soon, and the whole family breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the dishes on the table.

Finally don't have to eat locusts tonight.

"After the locust plague is over, I will go to the county to buy some things."

Yin Bowu said while eating that he originally planned to go to work for Wei and Zhen in the past two days, but was delayed by the plague of locusts.

"It looks like food prices are going up again."

Yin Bowen's words silenced everyone. After the locust plague, food production will decrease, and the food problem will only intensify.

Yin Miao wanted to comfort her family very much, her space would become 3,000 catties of food in a few days, but she couldn't say such words.

...

The night of the locust plague is also a sleepless night for the farmers. Many villagers can't sleep and simply stay in the field all night. The next morning just dawned, and many villagers were bending over to catch the locusts.

"It's still our chicken that's great."

Yin Chengyun still tied ropes to his chickens, and these chickens seemed to be stronger than yesterday's fighting power after they arrived at the crops. The locusts in the cassava field were almost eliminated by a dozen chickens in just a moment.

Yin Miao saw that the only trace of worry in her heart was gone, and no one noticed that a few chickens in the chicken coop had been dropped.

"Why can't these locusts be caught?"

Yin Bowu looked at the large sacks placed by the roadside. Inside were locusts caught by the villagers overnight.

"Although there are a lot fewer people today, they are not as easy to catch as yesterday. They are all hidden in the ground."

Rume said to several people. They also have seven chickens at home now, and they've eaten it all night, and now they're all standing on the ground looking like they can't eat anymore.

"It seems that we have to rely on them at critical times."

Yin Chengyun proudly pointed to the cheerful chicken he ate at home.

"I'm afraid days like this will continue for a few more days. It's good that those locusts that fly away don't come again."

A villager in the next field bent down and sighed.

"Speaking of which, we really envy those who don't farm, such as you."

Rume said again.

"It's not that Aunt Lu doesn't know. I'm the only one in our family who can grow some small vegetables. I don't know anything about growing crops. Besides, there was no father and them at that time, and no one could plant the land."

Yin Miao also squatted down and pulled down a locust on the tip of a wheat seedling.

"That's right. Fortunately, your father and the others are back. Let's live in peace in the village from now on."

After Lu Mei finished speaking, she hurried over to see Li Cheng calling her from a distance.

Seeing that the condition of Lumei's land was good, the family went to other plots to find places with many locusts to catch them. In addition to the dozen fighting chickens, it was only one morning, two sacks behind Yin Bowu. filled up again.

The people in the village take all these into consideration. The Yin family has no arable land at all, and they don’t need to worry about the locust plague. However, from the appearance of the locusts to Yin Miao taking everyone to eat the locusts, and now the whole family has participated in it. The Yin family members contributed the most to the locust plague.

"Fortunately, the official errand didn't take the Yin family away last time, otherwise we would really be finished this time."

When Wei Li was in the field, he heard the villagers talk like this, and he felt the same way in his heart. In the first few days, the villagers knew that the locusts could be eaten, and they had already eaten a large number of locusts. Otherwise, if the locusts lay eggs again, the village The crops were not saved at all.

During the half month that the locust tide subsided, Yin Miao and her family would walk around the village with their chickens and ducks every day to eat locusts, so that the chickens in the chicken pen grew fatter.

The little cock turned into a majestic big cock, and the coat became shiny and shiny.

The hens turned into hens that lay eggs every day, and even hatched litter after litter of chicks.

Looking at the hundreds of yellow chicks chattering in the baskets, Yin Zhenghong also burst into laughter.
