"Young man, just do it!" The county magistrate almost fainted from the fright of the dagger around his neck. How dare he have any objection when his life was at stake.

He quickly called his master over and ordered him to take people to prepare now.

When Wang Chunniang saw that they were really getting ready, she left.

Then, the frightened county magistrate, who had not yet recovered, saw Wang Chunniang jump towards the high courtyard wall and disappear...

As soon as he saw Wang Chunniang's shadow disappear, he trembled again.

Who are this Zhao family?

………………

After Wang Chunniang came out of the county government office, she did not go home directly, but ran towards Lu Mansion.

In Lu He's yard, Zhao Xuan and Jiang Ting were practicing moves with a wooden sword. Neither of them had a good spot on their bodies, and their faces were gray.

"Keep holding on." Lu He was very old-fashioned as a person and as a teacher, and he would not let the two brothers rest for even a second.

Zhao Xuan gritted his teeth and persisted, but Jiang Ting's mouth was already bleeding.

The two of them did not complain about suffering or tiredness.

Wang Chunniang originally wanted to take her two children away in advance, but... Lu He wouldn't let them go at all.

She had to go home alone.

…………

Zhao family,

When Wang Chunniang came back, Lin Xiang was tinkering with ointment in the small warehouse. There were only father and daughter Zhao Heng and Abao in the yard. Zhao Heng was lying lazily on the recliner, and Abao was spinning around to squeeze his legs.

.

"Zhao Heng, what are you doing?" Wang Chunniang saw her daughter running away with her bald head. She became angry and yelled at Zhao Heng.

Zhao Heng opened his eyes and saw Wang Chunniang standing at the door of the courtyard angrily. He waved his hand and said in a casual tone: "Explain to your mother."

Abao smiled at Wang Chunniang, showing his small teeth: "Mother, I am making money!"

You can squeeze your legs for half a quarter of an hour and get two copper coins!

She can also make money, she is no waste.

In this regard, Wang Chunniang had nothing to say.

"Are you done with your work?" Zhao Heng sat up and took Abao to sit next to him.

Wang Chunniang nodded: "However, just promoting it is of no use. The key is that the people are willing to believe it. If the people don't believe that the locust plague is coming, no matter how much we promote it, it will be useless."

In fact, the people of Langzhou didn't even have time to doubt.

because,

In the morning, they had just received a notice from the county government that they needed to prevent locust plagues in advance, but in the evening, the locusts had already arrived.

Even if they were prepared in advance, everyone was still at a loss when the locusts really came. Applying lime powder and straw powder on the grain could only prevent it. Now that there are so many locusts, some experienced elderly people in the village told their families to stop planting grain.

Set fire to the ground.

Locusts are afraid of fire.

And when the first flames lit up in Xixi Village, Zhao Heng directly carried Zhao Xuan out.

They wanted to protect the forest. There was no one to guard the mountain fire, and the autumn was relatively dry. There were dead grass everywhere. If a fire broke out, it would easily spread to the other side of the forest.

………………

Zhao family,

Abao watched with wide eyes what Wang Chunniang was lighting on the locusts she had caught. She squatted beside Wang Chunniang curiously and asked in a huffing voice: "Mother, are you giving medicine to the locusts?"

Wang Chunniang shook her head, glanced at her fat daughter, and said, "Mom is giving them some acne serum. This way, they will be infected on a large scale when they fly back."

"Oh oh oh." Abao shook his head obediently: "I still don't understand."

"Ating, you take Ah Bao with you." Wang Chunniang said to the little boy who had been helping her: "I can do it by myself. You can help my aunt take care of Ah Bao."

These locusts should not be underestimated. Wang Chunniang remembered that when the locusts were so powerful in Beizhou, they would even attack children.

She asked the two children to go back to the house quickly.

Abao listened to her mother's words very much. Just as she was about to go into the house, she saw the small potted ginseng plant that was still placed on the chicken coop outside. She quickly moved her short legs and ran out, putting the little ginseng plant in it.

The small potted ginseng plant was brought back, and then Da Da Da followed Jiang Ting back to the house to stay.

It's just that... the little guy didn't notice that the newly grown buds of the ginseng were all eaten by locusts.

It's probably because the buds are relatively small and the little guy didn't notice them.

Moreover, Zhao Heng also told her not to show off this little ginseng to anyone except her parents.

Abao, who originally wanted to introduce his "son" to Jiang Ting, suddenly stopped thinking.

Jiang Ting glanced at A Bao's bald head, then looked at it again. Finally, he picked up the ointment on the table and waved to A Bao: "A Bao, I'll give you the medicine."

Abao was very resistant to taking the medicine before, but since Zhao Heng told her that if she insists on taking the medicine, her hair will grow faster, she cooperates every time she takes the medicine. Hey, now she is very honest and puts her little bald head against the river.

In front of the court.

"It's so late, daddy hasn't come back yet!" Seeing that it was getting dark outside, A Bao muttered softly.

"Master said today that after the locust plague, there will be great chaos." Jiang Ting muttered in a low voice.

"Xiao Guo Guo, what is the chaos?" Abao didn't understand.

"There are so many locusts, and they will definitely eat the food. If everyone runs out of food, riots will occur." Jiang Ting simply explained to Abao.

Abao yelled, she thought: without food, everyone will fight!

field,

Zhao Heng and Zhao Xuan were leading the villagers to use the "bonfire extinguishing method" to burn locusts in some undeveloped wasteland. This method was relatively simple and crude, but Zhao Heng and Zhao Xuan were tired. The father and son had been protecting the forest from being affected.

.

That night, no one in Xixi Village slept. People of all ages came out, and the fire kept burning all night long.

At dawn the next day, Zhao Xuan, who had been holding on all night, couldn't hold on anymore and fell straight into the grass in front of him.

Seeing this, Zhao Heng quickly picked the man up and placed him in a bush in the forest. Xiao Hui immediately stayed by Zhao Xuan's side. Seeing this, Zhao Heng continued to work with peace of mind.

In the field, Li Zheng's body had begun to sway, and there were some young and middle-aged people gathered around him.

"Our disaster should be over... There must be food losses, but we started early, so we should be able to breathe a sigh of relief for the time being." Li Zheng felt that the locust plague was over.

"The lifespan of a locust is three months." Zhao Heng came over from behind: "It's just over temporarily."

"Listen, what's the sound?" Yang Blacksmith suddenly shouted loudly, and Zhao Heng's face turned a little pale.
