to wipe out
To annihilate in one fell swoop
"Old man, thank you!" Shangguan Chen suddenly looked at the old man and said sincerely.
"If you don't mind what the young master said, the old man is very grateful!" The old man said a little cautiously, with a hint of gratitude on his old face.
"By the way, old man, have there been a lot more locusts in this generation around here recently?" Hua Rongrong bit the sugarcane and asked the old man.
The old man nodded: "Yes, there are more and more every day, hey... I pray every day when I go back, hoping that the locusts will not come so early, and hope that the saplings nearby will not be eaten so quickly, let us... let us wait
When the banker is mature and takes it back, everything will be fine."
After listening to the old man's words, something flashed through Hua Rongrong's mind so fast that she couldn't catch it...
Without thinking much, he said to the old man: "What about the banker near the woods? Has it been eaten a lot?"
The old man nodded: "Yes, because the trees in the forest are much taller, so the locusts fly directly to them and eat the saplings first. But who knows how long those trees can last?"
Huarongrong also sighed and said: "If all the leaves and saplings are eaten up, the tree will die. This tree cannot grow overnight. If there is more rain next spring... it may cause floods.
For sure!”
Although the old man is an out-and-out banker, he has never thought of such a statement. At this moment, when he heard Hua Rongrong say this, he looked worried: "What the lady said makes sense, hey... what should I do?
Is it really God who wants to punish us?"
Ali who was on the side couldn't help but made an excuse: "Yes, the emperor was just some time ago... Mr. Huang and his old man were sick, and now there are locusts. Is this really a warning from God?"
"Tsk..." Hua Rongrong laughed out loud without any image: "It's really superstitious."
"What do you think?" Shangguan Chen put down the sugar cane in his hand and looked at Hua Rongrong with interest.
Huarong Rong said: "It's true that there are natural disasters, but what does this early warning from God have to do with it?"
Hua Rongrong threw aside the bitten piece of sugarcane in her hand, took out a silk scarf from her arms and wiped her hands, and said with a smile: "It's just a coincidence. If it makes people panic because of it, it won't be worth the loss. If it is used by someone with ulterior motives,
It’s even worse.”
She thought for a moment and said to Shangguan Chen: "I think... the most important thing now is to deal with the locusts. We must wipe them out in one fell swoop before these animals invade the crop fields."
Shangguan Chen just nodded, and the old man next to him said: "How can it be so easy? Old man, when I was a child, I heard my father once say that when the locusts come, there is nothing you can do, you can only wait and pray. Hey... I hope winter will come soon.
, only the power of God can save the people!"
"Old man, just wait, your prayers will be useful, and God will definitely hear them. Just wait, those locusts will be collected by God as soon as possible, and wait for a good harvest!" Hua Rongrong consoled her.
He looked at the old man and said.
