After time travel, I became the first richest woman in Lizhao

Chapter 128 Locust plague
Seeing this situation, Zhao Linger was both nervous and excited.Excited that the family will finally have a baby, but also nervous because I am afraid that something bad will happen.

Seeing Su Yixiang coming back from the outside in a hurry, he waited cautiously outside the door.Zhao Ling'er turned her head to look at Su Yi Ning, wondering what it would be like if he became a father in the future.

Su Yi Ning said: "You have not been here for a short time, there are so many people watching, you should go back first."

Zhao Ling'er also felt that she didn't dare to watch anymore, her heart would only beat faster, which would be bad for the baby, so she obediently went back.

After staying up all night, when Zhao Ling'er woke up the next morning, Su Yi Ning excitedly said to her: "Do you think sister-in-law gave birth to a boy or a girl?"

Zhao Ling'er thought that her sister-in-law said she wanted a girl, it should be a girl.

Su Yi Ning said with a smile: "It's still a boy! Mother is so happy, she has another little grandson!"

Zhao Ling'er smiled, in fact, it doesn't matter if it is a boy or a girl, but it would be the best if you can have both children.I don't know whether the two little lives in my stomach are male or female, it is best to be twins.

The Su family has been immersed in the joy of giving birth to a new life for the past few days, and Mrs. Su has gradually stopped seeing Zhao Linger.Zhao Ling'er happened to be quiet, she either ate or slept or slept and ate every day, she didn't want to think about anything all day long, she just wanted to lie down lazily.

This day Zhao Ling'er was really bored lying down, so she called Su Yi Ning to go out for a walk together.

The two came to the back garden, and suddenly saw a yellow cloud floating from a distance in the sky. The speed of the drift was very fast, but the color of the cloud was earthy yellow.

Zhao Linger pointed at the cloud and said, "Look at the color of the cloud, it's so strange!"

Su Yi Ning frowned and looked: "What kind of cloud is this? Is it a dark cloud?"

Before the words were finished, the clouds came suddenly. No one could have imagined that this was not a cloud, but a swarm of locusts!
All of a sudden, layer upon layer of locusts swarmed in groups and landed on the Su family's garden, on the ground, and on the roof. The sound of the locusts was louder than that of bees, and there were buzzing sounds everywhere.Moreover, locusts are much bigger than bees, they can fly in the sky and jump when they fall on the ground.

Su Yining hurriedly supported Zhao Ling'er back to the room and closed the window.

But there are still locusts crawling in along the cracks in the ground.

Some locusts scratched through the window paper and crawled in through the window.

"Ah! Why are there so many locusts!" Zhao Linger lay on the bed, seeing that a layer of locusts was about to gather on the ground, screaming loudly.

Su Yi Ning picked up the broom behind the house and tried to sweep the locusts together, but they crawled very quickly, and two or three locusts crawled onto the bed in a short while.

"Light the candles!" Zhao Ling'er directed Su Yi Ning, saying: "Burn them with fire, burn them to death!"

Su Yi Ning picked up the lit candle and pressed it to the ground. Sure enough, the locusts seemed to have eyes, and they all detoured when they encountered a burning place.

Seeing this, Su Yi Ning hurriedly lit more candles, and surrounded the room with candles.

"What should I do? The candle will burn out soon." Zhao Ling'er was very anxious, not knowing what happened to her sister-in-law's room or what was going on outside.

It was also the first time for Su Yi Ning to see so many locusts. He didn't know where these locusts came from. How could there be so many all of a sudden!

What to do with these locusts?
Su Yi Ning dragged a vase in the room to the center, then picked up the locusts one by one with chopsticks, threw them into the vase one by one, and then threw a piece of burning paper into it, soon thick smoke billowed in the vase , mixed with the smell of burnt meat, the locusts in the house disappeared a lot.

"Cough, cough, cough." Zhao Ling'er was so choked that she couldn't breathe, so she had to get out of bed and open a window to get some air.

The smoke in the house drifted out along the windows, and the strange thing was that although there were many locusts outside, there were no locusts crawling here even though the windows were open.

Are locusts afraid of smoke?

Zhao Linger observed for a while, and it was true that a large number of locusts crawled under the windows and made a detour instead of crawling into the house.

Zhao Linger called Su Yining to come over and take a look.

Su Yining observed for a while, and found that locusts were indeed afraid of smoke.

How to drive away these locusts with smoke?

Su Yi Ning found all the papers in the room, and then moved down all the big and small vases and put them on the ground. Later, he simply took off the legs of the table and chairs and put one in each vase.As the thick smoke from the vase rose up, Su Yi Ning quietly opened a crack in the door, and placed the vase in the middle of the crack. As expected, no matter how many locusts there were, they did not dare to approach this room.

Both Su Yining and Zhao Linger were worried about Mrs. Su and sister-in-law, and didn't know what was going on with them.

Su Yi Ning picked up Zhao Ling'er and ran all the way to the backyard.

Master Su has already sent someone to protect Su Yixiang and Mu Yunqing, but he hasn't had time to take care of Su Yining and Zhao Linger.Unexpectedly, the two of them came running, and hurriedly ordered someone to open the door.

Seeing that everyone was busy exterminating the locusts, Su Yi Ning imitated the trick just now, using the thick smoke in the vase to wipe out almost all the locusts in the room.

Only Master Su sighed and said: "This year's wheat is over."

Mrs. Su said: "The locusts in our house haven't been wiped out yet, you can wipe out the locusts in the house first and then talk about it!"

Master Su ignored Mrs. Su's words, and said to Su Yining: "You protect your mother and Ling'er here, and I'm going out to find Governor Wang."

Mrs. Su grabbed him and said, "You can go later, there are so many locusts now, just wait a little longer, maybe they will all fly away again after a while."

"Oh, what do you know!" Master Su shook off Mrs. Su's hand, and said to Su Yi Ning: I will leave the house to you, and you don't want to go anywhere, just stay indoors to protect yourself.

"Ah Qing, come with me!" He said and left with his personal servant.

Mrs. Su sighed: "Oh, I'm no longer an official. I agreed to stop meddling in other people's affairs, and I started worrying again."

Zhao Ling'er supported Mrs. Su and said, "Okay, mother, Dad has this kind of personality. You have been with him all your life and you must know that he will not ignore it in front of the common people, so let him go! Let's think of a way and see if there is any There is a more effective way to wipe out the locusts on a large scale, and it is best to visit my sister-in-law as soon as possible."

"Yes, I have to think about it quickly." Madam Su woke up, and while she took a broom to beat the locusts on the ground, she said, "I'll kill you little bastards! I don't know where they came from, and they harmed us." People in Yunzhou! Kill you, kill you!"

Zhao Linger asked Su Yining: "Does our family raise any ducks?"

"Yes, yes, I have more than a dozen of them in the lake in the backyard of our house!" Mrs. Su said.

Zhao Linger said: "I heard that ducks can also eat locusts, why not release the ducks and let them help us eliminate some locusts."

Su Yi Ning was a little surprised, but she still went out and took the ducks to the backyard with someone.

Sure enough, the ducklings ate while walking, and ate a lot of locusts along the way.

But there are still locusts crawling everywhere on the ground, how to wipe them out?
Su Yi Ning said to Ah Xin: "Go and dig a big hole in the yard, and then sweep the locusts into the hole." He went to carry another bundle of firewood and put it beside the hole.Then I took a big broom and swept all the locusts around into the pit.

Seeing that there were more and more locusts in the pit, Su Yi Ning lit the firewood and threw them into the pit one by one.

In this way, the fire in the pit kept burning, and the servants kept sweeping the locusts into the pit, and many locusts were wiped out very quickly.

Many locusts in the yard disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Seeing that the locusts were much less, Mrs. Su urged to find Mu Yunqing.

Su Yi Ning put down the work in hand and handed it over to the servants, and took Mrs. Su and Zhao Ling'er to the elder brother's yard.

There were still a lot of locusts here, Su Yining sent Madam Su and Zhao Ling'er into the house, and then organized people to exterminate the locusts.

When Zhao Linger saw the wrinkled little nephew, she immediately thought he was so cute!He took him in his arms and kissed him.

This little guy is still eating in his sleep, and his mouth is moving.

Seeing grandma and aunt coming, Su Wenxuan broke away from his father and ran over to hug Mrs. Su, saying: "Grandma, I was scared to death just now, there are so many big grasshoppers outside!"

Mrs. Su touched Su Wenxuan's head, and said, "Good grandson, don't be afraid, your uncle has gone to destroy them, and these big grasshoppers will be wiped out in a short time! Are you hungry? Grandma asked someone to give you Have a snack?"

Su Wenxuan shook his head and said, "I want to go out and see the grasshoppers."

Mrs. Su shook her head and said, "Good grandson, you can't go now, there are too many grasshoppers outside, if you go out now, they will bite you."

"Really? I'm not afraid!"

"Okay, you stay in the house first, and you are not allowed to go anywhere!" Mu Yunqing ordered his son.

Su Wenxuan pouted, broke away from Mrs. Su's hand, took Zhao Linger, and begged: "Auntie, take me there, I want to see how the grasshopper is doing!"

Zhao Linger looked at Su Wenxuan's longing eyes, and said, "Okay, let's just lie in the crack of the door and take a look at what your father is doing, and wait until he says we can go out, shall we go out?"

Su Wenxuan nodded.

Zhao Linger opened a narrow crack in the door, and Su Wenxuan got his head out immediately.

A fire had been lit in the yard, and inexplicable locusts were being thrown into the fire and cremated, making crackling noises.

Zhao Linger glanced at the sky, it was blue and blue, as if nothing had happened just now.

Why did so many locusts suddenly appear?

Seeing that there are fewer and fewer locusts in the yard, everyone gradually relaxes.

Su Yining shouted in the yard: "Su Wenxuan, don't you want to see the grasshopper? Come out!"

As soon as Su Wenxuan heard that he could see grasshoppers, he quickly opened the door and ran out.

"No, here we come again!" Zhao Ling'er looked up at the sky, and yellow clouds floated over again.

"Hurry up and get in the house! The locusts are coming again!" Zhao Ling'er hurried out and pulled Su Wenxuan in.

As soon as the door was closed, swarms of locusts flew over again.

Wherever they landed, as long as they could land, they were all covered with locusts.

Zhao Ling'er was worried that Su Yi Ning and Su Yi Xiang were outside, so she opened another door to let them in quickly.

Su Yi Ning and Su Yi Xiang ran into the house, watching the locusts outside the window falling layer by layer, eating everything in the yard like crazy.

Everyone didn't go out, quietly watching the locusts destroy their homes frantically.

I don't know how Master Su is doing now.Although this sentence was not spoken, Zhao Linger knew that the whole family was thinking about Master Su.

Master Su and Governor Wang are currently in the farmer's wheat field.

Seeing migratory locusts crossing the border, Wang Shixi yelled: "It's over." He picked up his straw hat and ran into the field.

I saw that every ear of wheat was covered with locusts. In less than two or three minutes, the ears of wheat were left with bare straw.

After a while, many farmers came running from all directions. They waved brooms and shovels in their hands.

But in front of thousands of locusts, human power is so small.

It didn't take long for pieces of wheat fields to be devoured.

If the drought will lead to a reduction in grain production, the current locusts will completely kill the wheat production!

Seeing that her own wheat was devoured by locusts, an old woman sat in the field and cried loudly.

But what can be done?

Wang Shixi saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart.

Master Su saw Governor Wang standing in the wheat field and watching everyone busy, so he rushed over and said, "Come on, let's go ahead and dig a ditch in front of the wheat that has not been gnawed, and light a fire in the ditch. Those locusts can't get close!"

When Wang Shixi heard that this was a solution, he organized everyone to dig a ditch as soon as possible.

Although everyone is rushing to work, manpower cannot resist the nature of locusts after all.

Only a small part of them were wiped out, and many locusts crawled over the soil ditches and gnawed away the wheat seedlings.

Seeing that the locusts were going to eat up all their wheat, the farmers did not dare to rest for a moment, but kept beating the locusts.But everyone only cares about their own wheat. Although they have exhausted their strength, their strength is still limited.

"Old man, come and dig a hole with us!" Wang Shixi went to pull people one by one. Only by uniting can everyone improve efficiency and stop these locusts.

The old man knew very well that he could not resist the locust invasion with his own strength, so he joined Wang Shixi's team.

Seeing that their method was more suitable, the people behind joined in one after another.

Wang Shixi and Master Su took the lead in digging a hole at the head of the field, and soon everyone worked together to dig a long hole at the head of the field.

"You drive the locusts in, and you guys go to gather firewood and fill the pit!" Wang Shixi directed everyone to do their own thing.

In a short while, most of the batch of locusts were wiped out.

People in the nearby fields saw that the locusts were being burned here, so they also followed their methods.This method is indeed very effective. After a while, most of the locusts in the field disappeared.

But just after a group of locusts were wiped out, more locusts flew over from the sky soon, swarm after swarm, like soldiers who had been poisoned, gnawing at the crops frantically and efficiently.

There are more and more farmers in the field, but they still cannot resist the thousands of locusts crawling all over the ground.

Seeing that it was getting dark, everyone was afraid to go home. If they were left alone tonight, the crops in the fields would be gone tomorrow.

Some women went home to cook.

"Governor, go back to eat too, it's getting dark." An old farmer advised Wang Shixi.

Wang Shixi shook his head and said, "The locusts haven't been wiped out yet, we can't go back now."

"However, there are still many locusts. I'm afraid we will have to keep watch tonight."

"It's okay, seeing so many locusts eating the crops, I can't sleep even when I go back!"

"Hey, you are really our good governor! I don't know what that Shi Guangtian is doing now? Did he think of our crops!" The old man sighed.

At this time, Shi Guangtian was busy!
Batch after batch of locusts flew over from nowhere in his house. He blasted all the officials and servants into the yard and ordered them to beat the locusts with brooms. He closed the door and hid in the house to watch. Locusts, don't let them crawl in.
