Fleeing from natural disasters, marrying the villain with the koi system

Chapter 43
The village chief came to Chu's house non-stop, wanting to discuss with them whether there is a way to control the locusts.

"It's already a mess outside! Today I sent people out to investigate, and even the town suffered. Those shops selling vegetables, because they didn't hide in time, were all eaten up."

"I worry that there will be bigger riots."

The few people who followed the village chief gasped, and then looked at Gu Qianqian and Chu Junze, and their eyes changed.

If it weren't for the two of them, it is estimated that all the wheat would not be kept.

Chu Junze tapped his fingers on the table, frowned slightly, thought for a moment before saying in a deep voice, "It's possible."

After all, he dipped a little water from the water glass next to him, and gathered all the things on the table to the side, and the people around him gathered together following his actions.

Even Gu Qianqian followed suit.

Chu Junze drew a simple map on the table.

"Look, this is Xiayang Village, and this is Shiwa Village. Shiwa Village is surrounded by mountains on three sides and is in the innermost part. Xiayang Village is just guarding the entrance of Shiwa Village."

Jin Duoduo was very depressed when he heard that, if it wasn't for that brat Xiong Er who went over to pull him, he wouldn't have come here!
Yin Yang said angrily: "I see, you are just going to use our Xiayang Village as a shield!"

Gu Qianqian couldn't see him being so cheap, and opened his mouth to reply: "Only a cunning person like you would think so! Our Junze is not like this! Hmph!"

Two people look at each other's nose is not a nose, eyes are not eyes.

Seeing the two of them fighting, Chu Junze inexplicably lost the depression he had before, and instead felt a little happy.

After feeling this inexplicable emotion, Chu Junze's face froze, he didn't know what he was thinking, and soon returned to normal.

"Let's talk about business. Apart from our two villages, there are more than a dozen other villages, large and small, but none of them have a superior geographical location than ours."

"If there is a riot, they should be the first to bear the brunt."

"This means that we have given us enough time to prepare, so now everyone's top priority is to stock up on food. If something goes wrong, we can also respond in the fastest time."

Several people are convinced.

Chu Junze said again: "Our mission now should be on the locusts."

Ah Zhen said in fear: "This time the locusts feel bigger than last time, and they eat much faster. No one has figured out a way to deal with them yet."

Old Xu nodded, "When we encountered insect infestation before, we would use a little powder, but it didn't seem to work against these locusts."

Of course it doesn't work!You can't do anything with ordinary pesticides, but you still want to use powder?
Gu Qianqian murmured to himself, and then spun rapidly in her brain, as if she had read the ancients' method of controlling locusts in a previous book.

Suddenly, an inspiration flashed. When they were taking the postgraduate entrance examination, the teacher had to let them read "Historical Records".

It is recorded that in the Han Dynasty, when there were locusts, the emperor would pray for blessings, and the princes would pay tribute to pray for the end of the locust plague.

Obviously, those are all ancient feudal superstitions, so they are useless at all.

Until the Tang Dynasty, when locust plagues occurred, people used fire to control the locust plagues.

In fact, it is also a method found in the "Book of Songs", "Bringing the thief to the fire", that is, using the phototaxis of the insects, you can set a fire at night to lure the locusts to self-immolation. Although the burial has not been completely solved, it has also been effectively controlled.

Gu Qianqian quickly said this method.

"I don't think you have any good solutions now anyway, why not just use my method, I think it is well-founded." Gu Qianqian nodded affirmatively.

How can the essence left over by the Chinese nation for 5000 years be useless?

The village head sighed and said, "I can only try first."

"It's getting dark now, let's go get ready and see how it works."

Action is not as good as heartbeat, Gu Qianqian has always had a high execution ability.

"Let's go chop firewood! We have great strength!" Xiong Er said while pulling Xiong Da.

"Then I'll inform the others."

Looking outside, the sky is so dark that it can only be discerned vaguely by the moonlight.

The light of the torch gradually ignited, shining on everyone's face.

In order to be able to burn these locusts thoroughly, a relatively open area was deliberately chosen, with firewood piled in the middle.

The weather was dry, Gu Qianqian threw the fire on it, and the fire rose instantly.

The originally quiet locusts around began to stir.

"Quick! Everyone find a place to hide!"

After a while, the sound of flapping wings sounded, and the locusts rushed into the fire like desperately.

Isn't it just that you don't want to die? It's simply a live version of moths to the flame.

There was a crackling sound, sparks splashed out, and everyone celebrated.

Only Gu Qianqian was feeling sad.

Her fried locusts!It seems that I have already smelled the fragrance but can’t eat it. It’s too painful!

Chu Junze originally thought that he would see Gu Qianqian happy, but unexpectedly she had a sad face.

Suspiciously asked: "Are you unhappy?"

Gu Qianqian shook her head sadly: "No! I'm very happy!"

Because there are too many locusts, they cannot be wiped out at one time, so they cannot be planted in the next few days.

Just in time to renovate the land.

The next day was still sunny and there were far fewer locusts than yesterday.

Chu Junze guessed that this was just a wave of locusts, and it would be good to just wait until they passed their place, but no one could tell when the next wave would come.

Gu Qianqian bought herself a straw hat from the system. The sun is too poisonous these days, and she feels that she has been tanned a lot. She is already malnourished and yellowish. .

"Today I will teach you a new knowledge."

Gu Qianqian stood on the platform, looking at the villagers underground.

Now the group of refugees who came before have been well integrated into the new environment.

Especially after this locust crisis.

It is worth mentioning that the old lady who lost her grandson was taken home by a young guy.

Both are people without relatives, and each other has been accompanied and comforted, killing two birds with one stone.

"First of all, our land has just been planted now, so the nutrients in the soil, er, the energy have all been consumed, we must let it rest for a while before planting."

One person raised his hand: "I know, just like we eat, eating a little after digestion will give us strength to work."

Gu Qianqian: ...

"Yes! It's easy to understand!" Although the poems here have been farming for generations, there is no modern mastery of some small skills in farming.

But if Gu Qianqian talks about it a little bit, these people will soon get the hang of it.
