Just one pregnancy and four babies, but the prince actually pledged his love to her

Chapter 275 Wu Ning is in danger

As soon as the chickens and ducks were released, the number of locusts began to decrease rapidly.

And some of the densely packed locusts seemed to be frightened and fled to the side.

Isn't it true? No matter how powerful the locusts are, they will eventually die. When they encounter chickens and ducks that love to eat insects, they will encounter their natural enemies. There is no reason for them to be so arrogant.

The consequence of being stubborn is that you will become a meal for chickens and ducks.

Sun Biao saw the chickens and ducks eating the locusts quickly and said excitedly: "It works, it works!"

He regretted again the ten thousand little ducks he had pushed out. Those were ten thousand little ducks.

If Mengchuan had ten thousand ducks, it wouldn't be so miserable.

The little ducks and chicks created a sensation as they quickly eliminated the locusts.

The hesitant city dwellers came out of their homes and helped to kill the locusts.

They live in the county town, and most of them run small businesses to support their family expenses, rather than relying on crops from the fields.

Therefore, whether a locust plague comes or not does not have much impact on them.

When County Magistrate Yang told them that someone was buying locusts at the price of two cents per pound, their first reaction was to ask who was so stupid and they didn't believe it at all.

And when the locust swarm arrived, they all returned home, closed the doors and windows, and waited for the locusts to fly away.

But they were unwilling to give up this rare opportunity to make money. Even though they didn't have to farm when living in the county, many families lived a very hard life.

I work so hard but I don't earn much money, just enough to make a living. How can I have spare money to improve my quality of life, buy snacks or new clothes?

Now, locusts can be sold for money.

If it were in previous years, let alone five cents per pound, even two cents would be impossible, and it would be impossible to sell it even if you wanted to.

Because there were too few locusts in the fields, even if I worked all day, I couldn't catch many. It would be better to earn more money by carrying sacks at the dock.

This year, there was a locust plague.

Originally, County Magistrate Yang had people spread the news that there was a locust plague, and everyone was terrified.

There is nothing to be afraid of now. The county magistrate is working hard to catch locusts and sell them for money, so why are they still being so pretentious?

Of course we have to act quickly and go outside with our tools to catch locusts. They cost two cents per pound. If we go too late, we will earn less.

So they released chickens and ducks, and the locust swarm, which had been as unstoppable as a bamboo, was finally slightly curbed. The chickens and ducks, which were about to eat to the point of vomiting, gradually slowed down.

As one grows stronger, the other shrinks, and chickens and ducks gradually become less useful.

Thousands of locusts fluttered their wings and flew around, making a buzzing sound that was disturbing.

Just as Yang Zhijin and the five county magistrates were in despair, a large number of people rushed out of the city.

Everyone brought tools and joined the locust extermination team.

They all want to make money, so they are very enthusiastic about catching locusts.

But there were too many locusts. Even though the number of people catching locusts increased, it was still a drop in the bucket and could not change anything.

Yang Zhijin then ordered people to light a fire and throw all the caught locusts into the fire.

So in addition to the smell of locust juice, the air also had the smell of burning and barbecue. The three smelled together in the air, and it smelled so good that you could only describe it as intoxicating.

Too high!

Some people felt very sad when they saw the locusts being burned, but in their eyes, the locusts were just money.

Burning locusts = burning money!

What a spendthrift!

But now no one dares to say, stop burning locusts. They all know that selling them for money is secondary, and killing the locusts is the most important thing at the moment.

What's more, there were so many locusts that someone saw a pit more than one meter deep not far away, which was filled up in just a few breaths.

It can be seen how many locusts there are.

After Yang Zhijin's initial anger subsided, he slowly regained his senses and began to give orders in an orderly manner.

"Bury!"

But just as he finished saying bury, a locust took the opportunity to crawl into his mouth and bit him to death.

Yang Zhijin's entire mouth was filled with the fishy smell of locusts and he vomited immediately.

"Ugh! Ugh!"

The yamen runners divided the work and cooperated with each other. Some of them held four nets and took turns catching locusts, while others used hoes and shovels to fill the pit with soil, trying to suffocate all the locusts.

Although more than tens of thousands of locusts died every time they were buried, it was no exaggeration to say that it was just a drizzle compared to the army of locusts that kept flying here.

The only consolation was that the people in the city did not come out to help catch locusts. They brought more than a dozen large nets, which were able to catch many locusts and forced them to stop moving forward.

But no matter how well prepared Yang Zhijin was and everyone worked together, human power is ultimately insignificant in the face of disasters brought by nature.

Half a minute later, someone shouted in fear: "Sir, we can't stop them anymore."

Seeing the locusts smashing the net into pieces, everyone present showed despair.

Yang Zhijin turned his gaze to the chickens and ducks and saw that their bellies were bulging, indicating that they were very full.

It takes time to digest before you can continue eating the locusts.

"Is there really no other way?"

Yang Zhijin murmured to himself. He had never felt so desperate since he was born.

These are just a part of the locusts. Who knows how many more there are.

They can't even stop this, let alone the large army behind them.

Could he only watch the locust army wreak havoc in Wuning County, then go to Lanlong County, Wujiang County, Huangyao County, Shuimo County, Gugang County, and even fly over Qingshan Prefecture and continue flying north to the capital?

Thinking of this, Yang Zhijin was enveloped in despair and felt suffocated.

"God damn locusts, why don't you just die!

When the people from the county first came here, they were all very happy thinking about making money.

But facing the increasing number of locusts, they are not stupid. They understand that if they cannot stop these locusts, not only the county town, but even the provincial capital will be affected.

Once the lower-class people have no food to eat, there will definitely be riots in the county, affecting everyone's lives.

Even if they can make money by selling the locusts, so what? They have to live to spend it.

"Oh my God, I don't want to sell locusts for money anymore. Please, take these locusts away!"

"I don't want any money either."

"Me too."

"Woo..."

……

As the cries grew louder, everyone realized the harm posed by the locusts, and a feeling of despair spread to everyone.

How is it possible to stop so many locusts?

Even if there are more people, the more they kill, the more locusts will come, and it will be impossible to stop them.

"Master, I really can't stop it."

Yang Run had never seen such despair on his young master's face, but as he looked at the flying locusts, he really didn't know how to persuade him.

"Hey!"

Yang Zhijin thought he was well prepared, including the catching nets, chickens and ducks, and cloth nets.

But there were too many locusts and he had tried his best. As for the final outcome, he could only leave it to fate.

"Clang clang clang!"

"Clang clang clang!"

"Clang clang clang!"
