Allure of a Country Maiden

Xiaoer found an empty space outside and spread the poisonous grass on the ground until the open space was covered with poisonous grass.

At this time, the locusts flying around in the sky, probably feeling the spiritual energy of the space water, all pounced on the grass on the ground, and then quickly ate the grass on the ground. After flying for so long, they were already tired and hungry!

In the dim light, their frantic gnawing on the grass all hinted that it was delicious.

Of course, these locusts fell down before they were full.

Gold always shines, Xiaoer believes that the aura of these pastures will attract more locusts!

Xiaoer got on her horse again and ran to the next place where there was no one. Taking advantage of the fact that it was night, under the cover of darkness, she took out a lot of poisonous grass.

Under the cover of night, even if a large number of locusts rush to a certain place, no one will notice anything unusual.

Xiao'er rode her horse to more than ten places in one night, placing poisonous grasses. She didn't give up until it was almost dawn and it was impossible to rush to the next place to arrange.

Xiaoer was worried that Shangguan Xuanyi could not see her when he returned to the inn, and he would be worried, so Xiaoer quickly mounted his horse and ran to the city.

Xiao'er had just returned to the inn on horseback, not far away, when she saw Shangguan Xuanyi just got on his horse.

When he saw Xiaoer appear, he breathed a sigh of relief, then jumped off the horse: "Girl, where have you been?"

"Hey!" Xiaoer stopped the horse in front of Shangguan Xuanyi. Just as she was about to jump off the horse, Shangguan Xuanyi stretched out his hand to hug her.

"Didn't I tell you to stay in the inn and sleep well? You're disobedient!" Shangguan Xuanyi said heartbrokenly as he looked at the shadow under Xiao'er's eyes.

"Let's talk about it back to the inn." Shangguan Xuanyi took Xiaoer down. When her feet landed on the ground, her legs couldn't help shaking. She had been riding a horse all night, and her skin had always been delicate. Now that she stopped, she I found that the pain on the inside of my legs was severe. This must be a skin abrasion! Not only did her thighs hurt, but she was also extremely tired. She had been tending ducks the previous two nights and poisonous grass tonight. She hadn't slept much for two days and three nights.

Shangguan Xuanyi saw Xiaoer unsteady and directly picked her up.

"Brother Shangguan, put me down!" Shangguan Xuanyi's eyes were also bloodshot, and the dark shadows under his eyes were heavier than hers. The stubble on his chin had grown out, making him look much uglier.

The two of them went to herd ducks together, and it was he who drove the carriage. Xiaoer was able to sleep for a while in the carriage, and Shangguan Xuanyi really didn't sleep a wink for two whole days and three nights.

Xiaoer knew that he was working harder and more tired than she was, so how could she bear to let him hug her.

"Don't move around. Your leg is injured and you still want to walk by yourself. Don't you want your leg?" Shangguan Xuanyi glared at Xiaoer, then strode towards the inn room.

Xiaoer didn't expect that Shangguan Xuanyi would know that her leg was injured. She rested her head on Shangguan Xuanyi's arms and fell asleep without saying a word. She was really too tired.

Shangguan Xuanyi lowered his head and glanced at Xiaoer. How tired was he to let her fall asleep instantly?

Shangguan Xuanyi carried Xiaoer to the inn room, closed the door with his feet, put her gently on the bed, and then locked the inn door.

Shangguan Xuanyi took off Xiaoer's shirt and then checked her legs. Sure enough, the skin on the inner thighs was scratched. How painful it was! How could she still sleep!

Shangguan Xuanyi was angry and heartbroken. This girl always didn't cherish herself. If there was something to do, couldn't she wait until she came back to do it?

He took out a healing pill and put it to Xiaoer's mouth: "Girl, wake up and take the pill before going to sleep."

Xiaoer slightly raised her heavy eyelids, opened her mouth and swallowed the pill directly, then took Shangguan Xuanyi's hand, rubbed it on her face, and then stepped into the space: "Brother Shangguan, you should also sleep."

Shangguan Xuanyi used a warm cloth to wipe Xiao'er's body, hands and face clean in the space. He also cleaned his body in the hot spring pool, and then fell asleep holding Xiao'er in his arms.

At this time, after a night of trapping throughout the city, there were not that many locusts outside.

Occasionally, a few locusts could be seen flying in the sky, but finally they no longer felt densely packed.

Of course, this is also because those locusts have gone to the fields to harm the crops.

At this moment, many ducks can be seen in the fields busy eating locusts.

And the people also came to the fields to catch locusts. As the saying goes, if you can kill one more locust, you will kill one more.

Everyone felt strange that there were so many ducks in the field, but when they saw that the ducks were really eating locusts, some people who raised ducks hurried home to drive the ducks out and put them in the field.

The duck eats the locusts, which can eliminate the pests and save some feed for the family. This is simply killing two birds with one stone!

The county magistrate was worried about his neck, so he stayed up all night catching locusts last night. Now he took the soldiers from the yamen to catch locusts in the fields himself.

After being an official for more than ten years, he has never been so tired as today! This is simply not a job for humans!

Every household, men, women, old and young, all went out to catch insects. The scene was very spectacular.

After Shangguan Xuanyi and Xiaoer woke up, only half an hour had passed.

After a good sleep, the two of them looked radiant again.

Xiaoer got some more poisonous grass. When Shangguan Xuanyi saw this, he asked, "Did you just keep these grasses everywhere last night?"

"Yes! The effect is very good. Today we are driving the carriage around to spread some more. By the way, let's go out quickly! I also have to sweep away all the poisonous locusts, lest the common people see them and kill them all. Pick it up and leave it for the ducks at home to eat."

This is very possible. If the people knew that ducks eat these things, they would definitely sweep away the locusts and use them as feed.

Although Xiaoer had specially selected some inaccessible places to put poisonous pasture last night, but the inaccessibility does not mean that no one comes.

The two ate something in the space, and then quickly went out to do some work.

They first went to the grocery store to buy two brooms, and then set off to the place where Xiaoer put the poisonous weeds last night.

When the two came to the open space, they saw that the ground was densely covered with locust corpses, but the grass was missing.

The two quickly cleaned up the locust corpses, and then Xiaoer put some poisonous grass to attract the locusts.

Soon more locusts flew over, but because they had killed many locusts last night, and tens of thousands of ducks had eaten countless locusts today, there were not many locusts left, so there was no scene of locusts rushing over like crazy.

Seeing this, Xiaoer said: "There shouldn't be many locusts left now."

Shangguan Xuanyi nodded: "Let's go and continue to sweep away the remaining poisonous locusts."

So the two spent another whole day cleaning up the poisoned locusts everywhere.

Since more than half of the locusts were eliminated, the remaining ducks could be dealt with. Xiaoer only placed poisonous grass in two places slightly closer to the city, and then swept away the corpses of the locusts on the way back. , the rest is left to the duck.
