The prostitute is poisonous: married to the disabled fourth prince after rebirth

Chapter 172
The common people only felt a little whimsical, but for those two bowls of porridge and a pancake, they had no choice but to go all out.

The people built an airtight human wall before the fertile fields that had not yet been affected, and each person held two torches. Whenever locusts came, they brandished torches and burned them.

Tens of thousands of people stood in the fields, densely packed, like scarecrows defending the food under them.

The locusts hit their faces and hurt, but no one flinched. They waved the torches in their hands and watched the locusts crackling and falling.

Locusts crawled everywhere in the bare fields.

Cui Yuexi looked at the fire and it was not a radical solution. As long as their legs were still there, they could climb on the grain and continue to eat grain.

She and Li Jing frowned, thinking of other ways.

At this moment, a small figure on the ground attracted Cui Yuexi's attention. She walked over, and saw a child lying on the side of the road with a sallow face and thin arms, whose slender arms were no thicker than her two fingers. Cui Yuexi picked up the child, He opened his eyes weakly and said something silently.

"So hungry."

After Cui Yuexi explained to Li Jing, she took the child back to the government office. She asked someone to prepare some food for the child, and the child's eyes suddenly brightened, and he started to gobble up the bowl.

Li Jing came back from the wheelchair, Cui Yuexi turned her head to look, and saw his dark pupils on his lap.

"We seem to only think about the adults. Each adult has two bowls of clear porridge and one pancake a day. What can the children do? Those adults must be trying to save a bite for the children. They can't get enough to eat, and they have to kill the locusts."

Cui Yuexi was in the deep house, and she took her two children to help the farmer's uncle harvest during the cruise. At that time, she realized the hard work of the farmers.

Now I have experienced the farmers who are already living at the bottom, after exorbitant taxes and oppression, they have to deal with the infestation of locusts, how do they live.

What is even more distressing is that these children and the elderly, those who have parents, still have stuttering food, but those who don't, will starve to death if they get it?

Cui Yuexi thought about the men and women who exterminated the locusts in the field, and even half-grown children waved the torches in their hands to exterminate the locusts in order to stutter.

Liu Yanbo ordered people to dig a big ditch in the fertile land that had not yet been harmed. In order to prevent the locusts from crawling over and harming the food, people lit a big fire in the ditch.

Even if it flew over in the sky, it was not as lethal as before.

Li Jing sighed helplessly. "Let the women who stay to cook cook more, so that the old people and children who are watching can also eat hot meals when the middle-aged people are exterminating insects."

Li Jing's decision directly allowed the food that could support two days to only last one day.

Cui Yuexi sighed helplessly, there was nothing she could do, "If you are tired, go to rest, I will go to the kitchen and make you something to eat."

She picked some wild vegetables and thought about making wild vegetable dumplings for Li Jing.

Cui Yuexi lit the fire, and when she was ready, she was about to fry wild vegetables for an appetizer. Suddenly, a locust fell into the pot, and the hot oil boiled instantly, followed by the fragrant smell of frying.

Cui Yuexi swallowed her saliva. She only ate some porridge in the morning to maintain her strength. After a day of turbulence, her hungry chest was pressed against her back. She picked out the burnt locusts with chopsticks. It tasted even better when they got closer. .

Thinking of how much food they had harmed, she took a deep breath, dipped the locusts in salt, and put them into her mouth as if she had made a big decision.

The crispy texture spreads in the mouth, there is no bad taste, but it is very delicious.

A few more locusts fell into the pot, so she decided to eat one, and eat a few more, if it was not poisonous, then this thing is not a food for hunger.

Cui Yuexi ate a lot in succession, and she was indeed not so hungry. As long as she didn’t die of poison tonight, if she survived till tomorrow, she would be fine. The locusts ate so much food from the people, would 10,000+ people still not be able to eat them all?
Cui Yuexi didn't say anything, she didn't want everyone to hear the hope, if she was poisoned, she would not only be disappointed but also worry about her body.

She prepared food for Li Jing and the others, and Liu Yanbo came back not long after. He and General Li cooperated with each other, and the fire attack brought a great threat to the locusts. The generals divided the work and cooperated, one person led some people to burn the locusts, and the other led the other people to rest. This kind of continuous burning would be more efficient.

When eating, Cui Yuexi just drank some misty soup, but Liu Yanbo couldn't swallow it when he thought of food support for two days.

Li Jing comforted, "You still need to take charge of the overall situation here. If you fall, the people will only be more flustered."

Liu Yanbo nodded, but he only drank two bowls of porridge before going back to rest.

As night fell, Li Jing was worried and asked Cui Yuexi to push him into the field. Under the dark night, a long fire dragon was scurrying in the night.

Suddenly, a person attracted their attention. He breathed fire balls, turned his body, and was particularly eye-catching in the field.

"Isn't that man a fire-breathing skill?"

The flames he spouted were very broad, and under the darkness of night, the locust wings ignited and fell with tiny lights, which were much more efficient than torches.

And not far from him, a small fireball was also busy.

One big and one small, their backs are extremely firm, and they guard the land that gave birth to them in their own way.

Cui Yuexi pushed Li Jing and walked over, the two people, one big and one young, did not stop their movements because of their arrival.

"Take a break and drink some water." One must know that breathing fire is a technical job, even if one doesn't have to work so hard as a performer, one is already very tired, but standing here breathing fire for such a long time is very tiring.

The villain fell to the ground with an ouch, looked at the adult in a childish voice and said.

"Master, I'm dizzy."

Cui Yuexi looked at the villain and thought of Brother Ye and Sister Rong, and hurriedly stepped forward to support the villain's softened figure.

The villain's mouth was full of alcohol, and his cheeks were flushed, obviously drunk.

Gulu... The villain's stomach was growling, Cui Yuexi took out a silk handkerchief from her bosom, which was wrapped with a few vegetable balls, she patted the villain's cheek lightly, and whispered in his ear, as if the loud voice would scare him To villain general.

"time to eat."

The villain opened his eyes immediately, looking around with his dark pupils.

"where?"

Cui Yuexi put a vegetable dumpling in his hand, and he ate it hungrily, until it was soft enough to fall into Cui Yuexi's arms.

The fire-breathing adult was also tired, and the fire that spewed out was getting weaker and weaker, Li Jing spoke in a low voice.

"Take a break,"

The man wiped his mouth, wiped the wine from his mouth, came to Li Jing's side and knelt respectfully.

"Thanks to the fourth prince for coming, my son was abrupt, girl, I hope the fourth prince will not blame me.

"
