They gritted their teeth, their eyes filled with anger and determination, and rushed straight towards Xi Yu.
A young man rushed to Xi Yu first, raised the weapon in his hand, and shouted angrily: "Today we must make you responsible for the safety of the village!"
Xi Yu flashed and easily avoided the young man's attack.
At this moment, several black shadows flashed out like ghosts, and it turned out that Xi Yu's secret guard appeared.
They were quick and instantly fought with several young people.
Xi Yu frowned slightly and shouted loudly: "Don't hurt them, just control them!"
Upon hearing this, the secret guards quickly changed their strategies and firmly controlled several young people in just a few moves.
Several young people looked frightened at this moment, their eyes filled with panic and disbelief.
Old Man Nie slowly walked out at this time, shook his head, and said to the young people helplessly: "I said I had asked you to leave, but you just didn't listen!"
One of the young men gasped and said with regret: "We don't know Mount Tai, but I didn't expect him to be so powerful!"
Another young man begged in a crying voice: "Good man, we will never dare to do it again!"
Xi Yu held Tuoba Yu's hand tightly and left in a hurry.
The next day, the yamen runners sent by the county magistrate walked into several villages with a fierce look.
The head yamen runner shouted at the top of his voice: "Everyone will listen to me, you must cooperate with the Prime Minister, otherwise you will be killed without any worries!" His hideous face made people shudder.
Chen Fugui and Liu Fengzi were walking towards the fields with a few people holding tools in their hands.
Xi Yu and Tuoba Yu stood by the field, watching vigilantly.
Chen Fugui said to Liu Fengzi as he walked: "You must not make a mistake this time, otherwise we will not have any good results."
Liu Crazy Nodded and frowned and replied: "I understand, be careful!"
Xi Yu looked solemn and whispered to Tuoba Yu: "You must be optimistic and there must be no omissions."
Tuoba Yu looked focused and said "um" softly.
The clan leader woke up slowly. When he learned that Xi Yu had arranged for the county government to enter forcibly, his face turned pale and he closed his eyes in pain.
He sighed heavily, his lips tremblingly and said, "Forget it, forgot, now I can't care about this anymore."
His eyes were full of helplessness and sorrow, and his originally straight back seemed to bend at this moment, and he looked extremely haggard and vicissitudes.
Many villagers gathered in their homes, women covered their faces and cried, while men were depressed.
An old woman choked up while wiping her tears, "This movie is simply a rebellious act, and the gods will definitely punish him!"
A middle-aged man next to him clenched his fists and shouted angrily: "He will not have a good end if he acts like this!"
Another villager muttered to himself with a look of despair, "God, open your eyes and punish this evil man!" Their faces were filled with grief and helplessness.
Chen Fugui and Liu Fengzi took everyone to work hard in the fields for a whole day.
Chen Fugui's face was exhausted, and sweat kept flowing down his cheeks. He straightened his waist, wiped his sweat, looked at the bags of locusts, and grinned, "Hey, we have gained a lot today!"
Liu Crazy was also gasping for breath, but with a hint of relief on his face, and responded: "Yes, if this continues, this field can be saved a lot."
A young man next to him said excitedly: "Thanks to our concerted efforts, this locust has been restrained by us!"
Liu Crazyman patted his shoulder and said, "Don't be too happy too early, you have to continue working hard!"
Everyone nodded, their eyes full of determination.
Chen Fugui looked at the quieter fields and sighed: "I hope this will always be so that our crops can have a good harvest."
Everyone continued to devote themselves to the work of hunting locusts. Although they were tired, everyone's face showed an unyielding spirit.
At night, the moonlight was as bright as water, and Xi Yu walked into Chen Fugui's store.
Chen Fugui was cleaning the counter. When he saw Xi Yu coming in, he quickly stopped his work, his face full of flattering smiles: "Sir, why are you here?"
Xi Yu looked serious and said straight to the point: "Chen Fugui, I asked you to make the locusts caught today mature and go to the village to sell them tomorrow to attract the people, but the price must be cheap."
Chen Fugui was slightly stunned, then frowned and said, "Sir, can this locust be sold?"
Xi Yu glared at him and said firmly: "If you want to do it, you will do it. This is an order! As long as the price is cheap, the people will try it."
Chen Fugui nodded quickly and responded timidly: "Yes, yes, yes, little one understands, I will do as I do."
Xi Yu looked at his cautious look and slowed down his tone and said, "You will be beneficial if you do this well."
When Chen Fugui heard this, a flattering smile immediately appeared on his face: "Thank you, sir, the younger one must do his best."
The next day, the sun was shining.
Chen Fugui and Liu Fengzi came to the village with a few hired people.
The load is filled with steaming and fragrant cooked locusts.
Soon, their stalls attracted many people to come.
A curious aunt pointed at the burden and asked, "What is this?"
Chen Fugui smiled and told the truth directly: "This is a locust, sister."
When the aunt heard this, her face suddenly changed. She looked like she had seen a ghost. She retreated repeatedly and shouted in horror: "Oh, locusts! How can this be eaten!"
A brave young man next to him smelled the fragrance, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I'll try it." As he said that, he picked up a locust and put it in his mouth and chewed it.
Everyone looked at him nervously, but his eyes lit up and he said loudly: "The taste is really good!"
When the others heard this, they were skeptical. A child pulled the corner of his mother's clothes and said, "Mom, I want to eat too."
His mother looked worried and said, "Can you eat this? Don't get any problems with it. Besides, locusts are divine insects."
At this time, several bold people tried it one after another, all of whom showed satisfaction and praised it: "It's really good, why didn't you think of it before?"
Chen Fugui looked at the crowd surrounding him and shouted at the top of his voice: "Dear fellow villagers, this delicious locust is cheap, a lot of money per penny!"
Hearing this price, the crowd suddenly felt a commotion. An old man in coarse cloth clothes shone with his eyes and said, "It's so cheap? Then give me some!"
A woman next to her also said, "Give me some more and try it out!"
More and more people are starting to buy, and their previous fears and worries seem to be thrown out of the sky.
A young man smiled while paying for money, "No matter whether it is a divine insect or not, it's delicious and cheap!"
Another old man also said happily: "Yes, it's so affordable to fill your stomach, so how can you care about so much!"
Chen Fugui and Liu Crazy were very busy, with joyful smiles on their faces, constantly calling everyone a locust.
Soon, the locusts brought by Chen Fugui were sold out.
Chen Fugui wiped the sweat from his forehead, his face full of excitement, and said loudly: "Dear fellow villagers, all the locusts brought today have been sold out! If you are willing to buy them, you can go to my store to buy them!"
Someone in the crowd responded: "Okay, Boss Chen, when I go back, I will talk to my neighbors!"
An old lady smiled and said, "This locust is so popular, I have to ask more people to buy it."
Chen Fugui nodded repeatedly and bowed and said, "Thank you all!"
Everyone dispersed while talking, preparing to go back to promote this novel and affordable delicacy.
Gradually, news that locusts became a delicacy spread.
Chen Fugui's shop is crowded and very lively.
"Boss, give me two locusts!" said a young and strong man anxiously.
Chen Fugui responded and packed it up quickly: "Okay, you can get it!"
However, not far outside the store, several elderly people gathered together and shook their heads and sighed.
"What kind of style is this? Eating locusts is simply a manifestation of depravity!" A gray-haired old man frowned and his face was full of disagreement.
Another old man with a cane echoed: "That's right, if this continues, you will be punished by God!"
They looked at the lively scenes in the store, their eyes full of worry and helplessness.
Xi Yu and Tuoba Yu were quietly staying in the room. Tuoba Yu looked at Xi Yu with anticipation and asked, "Xi Yu, can you leave?"
Xi Yu frowned slightly, pondered for a moment and said, "Wait for a few more days."
Old Man Nie was walking alone in the yard, and Xi Yu walked out at this time. Old Man Nie saw him and hurried forward and said, "This time, you offended the common people."
Xi Yu looked firm and had no sign of retreating in his eyes. He said frankly: "It doesn't matter. Although the people may scold me in the past two days, they will soon be able to cultivate the land."
Old Man Nie shook his head helplessly and sighed: "Oh, I hope it's as you said."
Things are indeed as Xi Yu said.
On this day, the sun shone on the fertile land, and many people came to the fields with farm tools and happily on their faces.
A middle-aged man looked at the vast field and grinned and said to his companion beside him: "Hey, I really didn't expect that there would be another day to replant!"
The companion wiped the sweat from his forehead, his eyes full of hope, and replied: "Yes, I have to do it well, and strive to have a good harvest this year!"
A young wife bent down and carefully sorted out the land, muttering: "Now, we have hope for our lives!"
In the distance, an old man looked at the busy people, smiled with relief, and said to himself: "God bless you, you can finally farm."
Everyone worked hard and had a happy conversation, and the fields were filled with vitality and hope.
On the other side, in the county government office, the county magistrate was giving orders to his subordinates with a serious expression.
The county magistrate paced back and forth behind his hands and said loudly: "Let me listen to it. According to Lord Xi Yu's instructions, we must promote it everywhere. Locusts are not gods at all. Everything that hinders farmers' farming must be stopped!"
The officers stood in a row respectfully and replied in unison: "Yes, sir!"
The county magistrate stopped, glanced over everyone with a stern look, and continued, "Everyone cheered me up and got this done, and there were many rewards! If it was done wrong, don't blame me for being rude!"
One of the officers asked carefully: "Sir, what should I do if someone doesn't listen to the advice?"
The county magistrate frowned and snorted coldly: "Don't listen to advice? Then arrest me and teach me a good lesson!"
After saying that, the county magistrate waved his hand, and the officers took the order and hurried away, preparing to go to various places to promote.
The officers scattered to all streets and alleys, and loudly promoted them at the top of their voices.
A servant stood in the market and shouted to the bustling crowd: "Listen to everyone, locusts are not gods, so they cannot let them hinder us from farming!" His face was full of seriousness and determination.
Someone in the crowd whispered to each other, and an old man asked in confusion: "Isn't it really a god?"
The officer quickly walked up to the old man and said seriously: "Old man, this is absolutely true. The Prime Minister said, we have to farm quickly and not be delayed by this false statement!"
A young man next to him nodded and said, "I think so, so I have to live this life. You can't stop farming just because you're afraid."
Seeing that someone agreed, the officer shouted even more vigorously: "Yes! We cannot tolerate anything that hinders farming!"
After hearing this, people gradually showed a look of thought on their faces, and seemed to begin to accept this statement.
A few days later, the fields were green, and people happily planted the fields.
Under the big tree in the village, several villagers gathered together to chat.
"Hey, you said that life is so fast, and the fields are planted." A strong man said with a smile, his face filled with satisfaction.
"Yes, the conflicts with the Prime Minister before, now that I think about it, have all passed." An old man smoked his cigarette puff and said slowly.
A woman next to her continued to talk: "That's right, we can't always hold on to the past. It's a good thing to plant this field."
Everyone nodded, no longer had the previous dissatisfaction and resentment in their eyes, but instead they were expecting and longing for the future.
On this day, the sun shines softly on the earth.
Xi Yu and Tuoba Yu packed their bags and prepared to leave.
They came to Old Man Nie, Xi Yu took out some money from his arms and handed it to Old Man Nie, and said, "Old Man Nie, you can take this money."
Old Man Nie waved his hand quickly and refused: "I am honored to do it, I am here. How can I collect this money?" His face was full of determination.
Xi Yu smiled slightly, his eyes were sincere and firm, and he stuffed the money into Old Man Nie's hand again, saying, "You just accept it, this is our little intention."
Tuoba Yu also advised: "Old man Nie, don't shirk it. Accept the money to improve your life."
Old Man Nie looked at them with his eyes full of emotion. He hesitated for a moment, and finally accepted the money. He said in a choked voice: "Okay, thank you, I wish you a good journey."
Xi Yu and Tuoba Yugang left Old Man Nie's house and suddenly found that there were many people standing outside in a dark place.
The front one was the patriarch. He had a solemn face and his eyes were filled with gratitude.
When the patriarch saw Xi Yu coming out, he took a step forward and said loudly: "Prime Minister, we heard that you are leaving, so we will see you off. Everyone has realized during this period of time, how ridiculous we were before. You saved us!"
The patriarch's voice trembled slightly, his face full of guilt and respect.
Xi Yu looked at everyone and said with a smile: "It's good that everyone can understand. In the future, life will definitely get better and better." His eyes were gentle and firm.
A young man in the crowd blushed and said, "Sir, we were ignorant before and misunderstood you. You are a lot of you, don't take it to your heart."
Xi Yu laughed heartily and said, "It's all over, everyone will live a good life in the future!"
At this time, an old man walked forward with tears in his eyes and said, "We will never forget the kindness of our lord!"
The people nodded one after another, their faces full of sincerity and reluctance.
Xi Yu and Tuoba Yu rolled over their horses and prepared to set off.
Tuoba Yu turned his head and looked at the people behind him, and said with emotion: "They are so sincere that I feel a little reluctant to leave."
Xi Yu looked ahead with a firm look and said, "I hope their lives will get better and better after leaving."
The people stood there, their eyes following them.
The patriarch clasped his fists and shouted loudly: "Master, take care of yourself all the way!"
Xi Yu and Tuoba Yu waved their hands, then grabbed the horse's belly and left with dust.
The people still stood there for a long time, watching their figures disappear into the distance.
The sound of horse hooves gradually drifted away, but the people were still staring at the end of the road where there was no sign of sight.
A young man murmured to himself: "I don't know if there will be a chance to see them again in the future." His eyes were full of nostalgia and longing.
An old man next to him sighed and said, "As long as we live a good life, we will be the greatest reward to them."
Everyone nodded, with a sense of firmness in their eyes.
After a long time, the crowd slowly dissipated, and the words were still muttering about the good things about Xi Yu and Tuoba Yu.
At this time, Xi Yu and Tuoba Yu rode their horses and faced the breeze. Tuoba Yu smiled and said, "This experience is unforgettable."
Xi Yu raised his head slightly and said, "I hope that every place we have walked can leave hope."
Their figures gradually drifted away in the afterglow of the sunset and became a warm memory on this land.
At this time, the afterglow of the sunset put a layer of golden yellow on the earth, and the figures of Xi Yu and Tuoba Yu seemed to be more determined in this light.
Tuoba Yu's hair fluttered gently in the breeze. He looked back at the direction he came and sighed: "I don't know if those people can really live a stable life in the future."
Xi Yu looked firm, looked straight ahead, and said confidently: "As long as they work hard, they will definitely do it."
The two continued to gallop, and the horse's hooves raised waves of dust.
The distant villages became smaller and smaller in their sight. Tuoba Yu took a deep breath and said, "I hope that everything we do will make this world more beautiful."
