Li Maicheng and Zhang Qian walked in the valley, and the mountains on both sides echoed with the sound of birds, and from time to time there was the howl of wolves.

Sweating profusely from the mountain road, they gradually walked out of the valley, and were blocked by a river in front of them, and saw that the water of the river was crystal clear, and there were many boatmen fishing in the river.

Li Maicheng looked around, and saw a young man not far from the river casting a net to fish, and shouted to him: "Hey, boatman, can you help us cross this river?"

When the young man heard this, he stopped casting his net, looked at Li Maicheng and them, and saw that there were more than 20 of them, and shouted: "Brother, my boat is too small to fit so many of you." ”

Li Maicheng shouted: "It's okay, you can load a few, just a few, let them go by boat first, and transport a few more trips." ”

The young man said, "Okay, brother, I'll row the boat over." ”

Then the young man slowly rowed the boat over, while Li Maicheng and the others waited on the shore for the boat to row.

And the guy took a closer look, and saw that the head of the koi monster was actually the head of a fish, and he was very frightened, and then looked at the face of the giant ape monster, which was simply the appearance of a gorilla, and then looked at Su Chengxuan, and saw that he actually had horns on his head, he said in horror: "Brother, why do these people around you look like this, what are you doing." ”

Li Maicheng said: "In Xia Li Maicheng, we are the envoy of the Han Dynasty to the Western Regions, they are my junior disciples, they are very kind, and they will not hurt people." ”

The young man said: "That's okay, by the way, in Xia Liang Chenxin, it is the people of Shuibai Town near here." I'd better help you cross the river first. ”

Then Zhang Qian's envoy, Gan Fu, and some soldiers got on the boat, and the young man rowed them over.

After Zhang Qian and the others arrived on the other side, Liang Chenxin rowed the boat over again, and loaded some soldiers with the boat, and then only Li Maicheng and his junior brothers and sisters remained.

Then Li Maicheng said to Liang Chenxin: "Young man, you can transport them to the other side, we have a few skills left, and we can just fly over." ”

Liang Chen said casually: "Okay then. ”

Then the young man rowed the rest of the soldiers to the other side, while Li Maicheng and the seven of them flew up, and then flew to the other side of the river, flew for a while, and then stopped on the other side of the river. At this time, Liang Chenxin's boat had not yet reached the shore.

Li Maicheng looked around this side, and suddenly saw that in the fields of Shuibai Town, the crops were destroyed, and the wheat seedlings and vegetable leaves were bitten by some insects.

Li Maicheng was very puzzled when he saw that, and at this time Liang Chenxin had already sent the remaining soldiers ashore.

Li Maicheng then said to Liang Chenxin: "Thank you Liang Chenxin, by the way, I just saw your Shuibai Town, why does it seem that there are insect plagues everywhere in the fields." ”

Liang Chenxin sighed and said: "Hey, our Shuibai Town, suffered from a locust plague, I don't know where a lot of locusts came from, and our crops were destroyed, and last year we also suffered from a rat infestation, and when the fruit was ripe in autumn, it was stolen by those large number of rats, and we had to go to the river to catch fish and get it back to eat." ”

When Li Maicheng heard this, he said, "This locust plague and rat plague are really powerful. ”

Liang Chen Xin said: "Yes, isn't it, the people in the town are dying of sorrow, everyone comes to this river to fish, and the fish in this river also have a day when they are finished, and when they are finished, we will have nothing to eat." ”

Li Maicheng said: "Chen Xin, don't be so pessimistic, I'll help you." I'll take my brothers and sisters to help you get rid of the locusts and rats. ”

Liang Chen said casually: "It's a lot, thank you brother." By the way, from last year to this year, in our Shuibai Town, people often go missing for no reason, and my lover Lu Xueyao suddenly disappeared. ”

Li Maicheng felt very strange when he heard it, and said: "There are such strange things, Liang Chenxin, you don't have to be afraid, we will definitely help you find your missing lover Lu Xueyao, don't worry." ”

Liang Chen said casually: "Thank you very much, by the way, you haven't come here yet, don't live in my house, don't charge your money, I'll make you hot and sour fish to eat." ”

Li Maicheng said, "Okay, thank you." ”

Then Liang Chenxin took Li Maicheng, Zhang Qian and the soldiers of the mission to his house, and when he walked on the road, he saw that the crops along the road were infested by locusts, and some locusts were flying everywhere in the fields from time to time.

They walked for a while before they reached Liang Chenxin's house.

I saw that Liang Chenxin's house was a small courtyard with a few earthen houses, and Liang Chenxin's parents came out and saw that Liang Chenxin had brought so many people to the house.

Liang Chenxin's father, Liang Weikai, stepped forward to greet him and said, "Chenxin, what are these guests you bringing for?"

Liang Chen Xin said: "Dad, they are the people of the Han envoy to the Western Regions, passing by here, they want to spend the night, and they will work hard, saying that they are helping us find the missing Lu Xueyao." ”

Liang Weikai said casually when he heard this: "Okay, but why do some of them look so strange, they feel like monsters." ”

Liang Chen said casually: "Dad, don't worry, those people are very kind-hearted and won't hurt people casually." ”

Liang Weikai said: "Okay, then let's go into the house." ”

Then Li Maicheng and the others entered the house and sat down, and Liang Chenxin poured a cup of tea for each of them.

Li Maicheng drank tea, and Liang Chenxin's father and mother went to cook and took the fish that Liang Chenxin caught today to cook.

At this time, Li Maicheng took out some rice and flour from the burden of the mission, and said to Liang Chenxin: "We brought some grain on the way, you can take it to cook." ”

Liang Chenxin was very surprised when he saw the rice and flour, because he hadn't eaten this for more than half a year, and the grain in Shuibai Town had already been eaten, and the crops he planted were basically ruined by those locusts.

Liang Chenxin took the rice and flour and said, "Thank you, Brother Maicheng, to be honest, we haven't eaten this for a long time." ”

Li Maicheng said: "Take it to cook, just use our rations for your stay." ”

Then Liang Chenxin took the rice and flour to the kitchen.

Li Maicheng drank tea, and after a while, Liang Chenxin came up with the food, and Li Maicheng went with Bai Ruoxue to help serve the food.

After the dishes were served, they gathered around the table and drank wine and ate the dishes.

Liang Chenxin said while eating the fish: "Brother Maicheng, to be honest, seeing that the fish in the river are almost finished, our people from Shuibai Town have come down and are ready to flee to the east, and we can at least find food to eat." ”

Li Maicheng said: "Don't worry, we will help you get rid of those pests, and we will return you a green crop." ”

Liang Chen Xinshu said: "Thank you so much, you are really compassionate and compassionate, which is admirable." ”

Li Maicheng said: "Don't dare to be, wait for us to rest for one night today, and tomorrow we will go to the crops together to eliminate the insect plague, if there are locusts, we will kill locusts, and if there are mice, we will fight mice, and we will definitely eliminate those pests." ”

Liang Chenxin heard this and said, "Thank you, Brother Maicheng, come and give you a drink." ”

Then they all raised their glasses and drank bitterly, and after eating, Li Maicheng and the soldiers of the mission fell asleep.

After one night, Li Maicheng and the others got up early in the morning, and after breakfast, Liang Chenxin took Li Maicheng and his seven brothers and sisters to his crop field together.

When I arrived at the field, I saw that in Liang Chenxin's crop field, there were many locusts flying on those wheat seedlings, and in another vegetable field, the vegetable leaves were basically eaten by locusts.

Li Maicheng saw so many locusts flying, and then said to the other senior brothers and sisters: "Then let's use our offensive power to destroy those locusts." ”

Zhou Xiaotian said, "Okay, senior brother. ”

Then Li Maicheng slashed with the Zhuying Sword, chopping locusts one by one while flying, while Bai Ruoxue looked at the locusts flying one by one with the Killing Ming Twin Blades, and the giant ape monster held the Dragon Yin Sword and slashed, while running in the crop field, while chopping those locusts, but there were so many locusts that they were flying all over the sky and couldn't be cut at all.

At this time, Su Chengxuan said: "Senior brother, why don't we go to the Heavenly Palace to invite Huo De Zhenjun, he will breathe fire, and it is not easy to burn these locusts." ”

Li Maicheng said as he chopped it: "Let's cut these locusts first, let's cut them first, and then let's count them, if we can't kill them, then go and ask them for help." ”

At this time, Jin Xiqing was flying while cutting those locusts with the Jiuhua sword, and suddenly saw a huge and cute groundhog not far away, and the groundhog actually used a knife, and he was cutting those locusts with a knife.

When Jin Xiqing saw it, he shouted: "Senior brother, I found out the situation here, there is a groundhog spirit, everyone come here." ”

When Li Maicheng heard this, he quickly came with the Zhuying Sword, and according to the direction pointed by Jin Xiqing, he really saw a cute and cute groundhog spirit, who was cutting those locusts with a knife.

Li Maicheng quickly flew over and approached the groundhog spirit, and then took the Zhuying Sword and fought with the groundhog spirit.

And Bai Ruoxue, Zhou Xiaotian, and the koi monster also surrounded and fought with the groundhog spirit, and after a while, the groundhog spirit was beaten to the point that the knife fell and was subdued.

Li Maicheng put his sword on the neck of the cute groundhog spirit and asked, "Bold groundhog spirit, what are you doing here, recruit from the truth." ”

The groundhog spirit then said: "Big brother spare my life, I am an ordinary groundhog who has become a spirit, because there was a rat plague here last year, and there is a locust plague this year, I have nothing to eat in the cave, so I came out to destroy those locusts, I didn't expect to meet you." ”

Li Maicheng said: "So that's the case, then do you know where those rats and locusts came from?" ”

The groundhog spirit then said: "I just heard from the little demon in the mountains near us, saying that there is a demon cave in the Kubin Mountain in the north of Shuibai Town, where a big rat spirit lives and a locust spirit. But I haven't seen them. ”

When Li Maicheng heard this, he said: "It turns out that this insect plague is a ghost made by monsters, and we must catch them." ”

The groundhog spirit said: "Big brother, then you can let me go now, it's not easy for me, I haven't found anything to eat for several days." ”

Jin Xiqing stepped forward and pinched the cute little face of the marmot spirit, and said, "Let's go with us, give you some food, fill your stomach first, and then go with us to Nakobin Mountain to catch the big mouse and locust essence." ”

As soon as the groundhog spirit heard that there was something to eat, he said, "Okay, I'll go with you, I'm very familiar with the Kobin Mountain, and I can show you the way." ”

Jin Xiqing said, "Okay, little groundhog. ”

After speaking, Jin Xiqing pinched the little face of the groundhog again.

Then Li Maicheng and the others came to Liang Chenxin's house with the marmot spirit, and prepared some delicious food for the marmot spirit.
