Chapter 86： Chicken soldier and duck general

Chapter 86

It took a lot of effort and time to scald so many locusts with boiling water. Seeing that 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 will be able to eat them tomorrow."

Mr. Zhang said.

"I'm going to fetch some water to feed them."

Yin Miao ran away.

She fished out the imprisoned auspicious from the room, and brought 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 coop 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 by the side and looked at 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 rubbed his younger son's profile distressedly. Fortunately, Yin He got some ointment from Su Wanfeng. Hearing the younger son's question, 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, this is the first time he has seen so many people cry so sadly when he grows up.

"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 teach.

"Haner 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."

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

“…”

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

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

"You got those chickens and ducks, right?"

Yin Miao asked when she saw no one around.

An official from the county government suddenly 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, it still didn't change anything."

Xiao Xuan's words contained an indescribable emotion.

"Who said, a chicken and duck can eat 200 locusts a day, 400 locusts a day is 80,000, ten days is 800,000, and a lot of 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 person beside him was silent for a moment:

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

"Yeah, you still have to work hard."

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

The dinner Yunhe 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 had planned to go to work for Wei and Zhen for two days, but was delayed by the plague of locusts.

"It looks like food prices are going to go 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. In a few days, her space would become 3,000 catties of food, but she could not 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 as the sun was shining, many villagers bent down to catch the locusts.

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

Yin Chengyun still tied ropes to his chickens, and these chickens seemed to be stronger than yesterday's fighting power after they reached 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 some chickens in the chicken coop had been unpackaged.

"Why can't these locusts be caught?"

Yin Bowu looked at the large sacks placed on the side of the road. Inside were locusts caught by the villagers overnight.

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

Rume said to several people. They also have seven chickens at home now, and they have eaten for another night, and now they are 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 flew away don't come again."

A villager in the next field sighed, bent over.

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

Rume said again.

"It's not like 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, and at that time, there was no father or the others, and there was no one to 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, seeing Li Cheng calling her from a distance, she hurried over again.

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 away the Yin family 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.

For half a month when 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 **** turned into a majestic big cock, and the coat became shiny and shiny.

The little 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.
