Chapter 51: Will It Be Toxic?
Hearing that the other party reported to his home, Chu Xinyun became more and more puzzled in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Are you looking for the wrong person, I am really not the reincarnation of a fairy, I am a peasant woman from this nearby village..."
Zhao Xianling was completely a live horse as a dead horse doctor at the moment, and hurriedly said: "The fairy has no memory of reincarnation, naturally he doesn't remember his identity, and now the territory of Qingshui Town has suffered a locust plague, and the farmers have no harvest, seeing that winter is coming, I really can't bear to see them starve to death, so I came to pray to the fairy, ask for a way to solve the locust plague, and ask the fairy to teach me!"
Chu Xinyun frowned, she thought that this county magistrate was a villain who was greedy for money, but she didn't expect to have such a true temperament, maybe she was wrong to blame him before?
She hurriedly helped the two of them up: "Please get up and speak, I repeat, I am indeed not the reincarnation of a fairy, but I have this method of curing locusts here, but it requires a large number of people to cooperate." ”
When Zhao Xianling heard this, the whole person trembled with excitement, how could this be the law of governance, how could it not be the reincarnation of a fairy?
Seeing that things were almost done, Xiao Seventeen on the side retreated to the forest on the side while the two were talking, and saluted Xiao Shu, who was standing in the shadows.
"Good going, let's go back."
"Yes!"
Zhao Xianling became more and more respectful: "I don't know if the fairy has any way to solve it?" In fact, he would rather see some spells, but thinking that the Dao boy just now said that the fairy went down to the mortal world and incarnated into a mortal, he must have no mana.
He was a little uneasy for a while, and he didn't know what the fairy without mana would do......
Chu Xinyun couldn't help twitching the corners of her mouth when she heard such a title, but she couldn't care so much at the moment, since this person was the county commander of Yunlai County, she just handed over the method of how to kill locusts to him.
If he teaches other village chiefs, he will definitely save time and effort than himself.
Once the locust plague is resolved, doesn't that mean the children don't have to die?
Chu Xinyun was even more motivated when she thought of this, and she first learned about the current disaster situation.
"There are a total of seven villages that have been affected, and the villages in the remote areas will be more seriously affected, and they should be the first places to be affected.
Zhao Xian Ling knew that he was going up the mountain to see the fairy today, so he memorized some of the news presented early, and at this moment, Chu Xinyun asked him and he answered quite like that.
Chu Xinyun pondered for a while after hearing this, and said, "From the analysis of the trajectory of this batch of locusts, they should have come from the north. ”
"If you want to kill this locust, you have to do two things."
"Fairy, please speak!" Zhao Xianling regretted a little at the moment that he didn't bring pen and ink to remember, so he had to pay full attention, just don't miss anything.
"One is to throw it down, and the other is to kill it completely."
"Dig a ditch between the fields, pour flammable substances into it, tell the villagers to shoot the locusts in it, and then send people to burn them to stop them from burning to ashes."
"By the way, insects have a strong ability to fight back, and in order to prevent the farmland from being set on fire, it is best to put something in the ditch that can stick to the locusts."
"There is also a direct capture of it, locusts can be supplemented with nutrients after being fried at high temperatures, adults and children can eat them, and chickens, ducks and geese are easy to grow meat after eating."
Zhao Xianling was stunned when he heard it, he understood the matter of digging a ditch in front of him, but why did he suddenly eat locusts in the back?
He had to ask weakly: "Fairy, this.... This locust is the son of the locust god, is it really okay for us mortals to eat it? Won't it attract the revenge of the locust god?"
For such a question, Chu Xinyun originally wanted to refute it as soon as possible, but thinking about it, he was still able to communicate directly with the county order through this strange and chaotic thing, and if he refuted it directly, it was estimated that it would have an impact at that time.
She moved her head, coughed lightly, and said, "If you don't dare, you can sell it to me, and I will pay the price of two cents and five catties." ”
Now she still has more than 100 taels of savings on her, and she doesn't know how many locusts in these villages can add up, so let's collect it first, and then ask the shopkeeper Xu to borrow a little if the follow-up is not enough, it always seems to solve this worry, right?
Zhao Xianling immediately became happy when he heard this, they are mortals who are afraid of offending locusts, but the fairy is not afraid, if she eats all these locusts, then the locust god will have no way to take revenge even if he wants to!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but admire his ingenuity, and immediately nodded and said, "Don't worry, fairy, this thing is on me, and it will be done well!"
"But how am I going to find the fairy?" Zhao Xianling thought of this question for the first time.
Chu Xinyun said: "I will personally go to the yamen to collect it at that time, please rest assured."
"Then it's a trouble fairy!"
Chu Xinyun nodded: "Since this is the case, then trouble the adults to solve it quickly, the sooner it is resolved, the sooner the villagers can live in peace." ”
Zhao Xianling couldn't help but sigh after hearing this, he only felt that this fairy was indeed very good at talking, and he didn't say anything about becoming a peasant woman, but he was full of thinking about the people, and there was a sense of admiration in his heart.
Now that he has the fairy's method, then he is bound to do it well, in case the fairy sees that he is serious in the future, and then rewards a pill of elixir or something, then he will not soar into the sky?
Looking at Zhao Xian Ling's beautiful appearance, Chu Xinyun withdrew his mouth slightly, looking at his expression, he knew what this guy was thinking, and it was not the same old thing.
If you are really a fairy, you will not give him good things, what kind of virtue are you, don't you have any points in your heart?
After Zhao Xianling got the way, he retired: "Fairy, there are still things to do next, so let's go first, and ask the fairy to forgive me." ”
"Hurry up, don't delay." Chu Xinyun wished that he would leave early, the matter of removing insects was to be active, if he was dragging the crops, they would almost be eaten.
Zhao Xianling was full of confidence and prepared to go down the mountain, and on the way back, he met a young Taoist boy who came with him, he stopped himself and ordered: "Don't tell anyone else about the fairy after going down the mountain, I tell you this time because you are really in a hurry, make an exception for a while." ”
"Yes, yes, yes! I know it below, don't worry, I won't reveal it to anyone! Even my daughter-in-law won't tell me!" Zhao County's order repeatedly assured that Xiao Seventeen would let him go down the mountain with confidence.
On his way down the mountain, the village chiefs under the mountain couldn't bear it anymore, and asked the officials one by one: "How long have you been there?" Why haven't you come back yet? It was almost noon when I saw the time. ”
The official was annoyed, glared at him and scolded: "You ask me, who do I ask?" Don't bother here, if it's an alarming adult, you can afford it!"
The man was so choked that he couldn't say a word, so he had to frown and sigh and sit aside to rest.
However, the village chief of Chu, who came with him, comforted: "Don't worry, everything has its own advice, and what should come will always come." ”
The village chief gave him a blank look: "Your Chujia Village is in the southernmost part, and the disaster is the lightest, you naturally don't have a backache when you stand and talk, there is almost no good land in our area, it is all pitted, I don't know what to do this winter, this damn locust, if you don't come sooner or later, you won't come until the autumn harvest!"
Village Chief Chu was about to reply, when he heard the excited villagers shouting, "Your Excellency has come down!" I saw a figure!"
Everyone stood up and looked, and sure enough, not far away, they saw Zhao County's order, who was dressed in regular clothes, slowly descending the mountain with the support of the officials, and everyone suddenly looked at him.
Zhao Xian Ling climbed up and knelt down today, tossing himself a little embarrassed, but he couldn't stop the excited light in his eyes, he smiled at everyone and said, "I found a way to get rid of locusts!"
"Really, sir! Is there really a way to get rid of locusts?!"
"Adults really deserve to be adults!"
Everyone's sycophants followed, in the past, Zhao County Linghui was addicted to it, but today is different, he waved his hand to disperse everyone's compliments, and said: "Everyone go back to the county office, I want to teach you this method, and implement it immediately!"
"Yes!"
Chu Xinyun, who was on the mountain at the moment, was waiting for Xiao to kill, and when he saw him, he couldn't help but tell all the previous things.
"He actually called me a fairy, where am I like a fairy?" Every time she heard the word fairy from Zhao Xianling's mouth, she couldn't help but get goosebumps all over her body.
Xiao Shu smiled: "Of course you are a fairy, and you are also the most beautiful fairy." ”
Chu Xinyun blushed suddenly, and said angrily, "When did you become so flamboyant?" Don't say any more!"
The arrival of Zhao County's order did not affect the mood of the two of them on the outing at all, and the difference between the heroic and the strong sense on the mountain is that the atmosphere in the yamen under the mountain is solemn at the moment.
Bang" Zhao Xianling had already changed his clothes at this moment, picked up the teacup and drank several sips before he said loudly: "This official has found a way to deal with the locust plague, don't be in a hurry, and listen to me slowly." ”
Then he repeated Chu Xinyun's words, and when he heard that he was going to eat locusts, everyone's faces were not good-looking.
Someone couldn't help asking, "My lord, can this locust really eat?" It's not poisonous, is it?"
"Yes, my lord, these are all the descendants of the locust god, if you eat it, won't you be punished?"
If you want to catch locusts to sell, the official will spend two cents and five catties here to collect them, and how much you will collect. ”
The village chief was extremely happy when he heard it, this is good, the biggest problem has also been solved by the county master, and now everyone just needs to go back and catch the locusts according to this method to repay the money!
If it weren't for the fact that the county magistrate didn't move at this moment, they really wanted to rush back to the village immediately and catch all those locusts!
Zhao Xianling saw the monkey urgency on their faces, and said lightly: "Okay, since the method is already known, let's go back and deal with it quickly, just send the locusts or something directly when the time comes." ”
"Hey! Your Excellency really understands righteousness!"
"Thank you, sir!"
In the midst of compliments, the village chiefs, who were originally worried, walked out of the yamen with a high spirit.
The news of the abolition of the sacrifice of boys and girls spread throughout Qingshui Town at the first time, and the most happy of them should belong to the villagers of those villages, who repeatedly determined whether the source was reliable or not, and almost cried with joy when they learned that it was indeed true.
After all, what child is not your own treasure? How can parents agree to sacrifice their children like this?
The village chief also looked at the happy faces of the villagers, turned his head and secretly wiped the wet tears from the corners of his eyes.
"Alright, alright! This is a good thing, what is there to cry about, quickly wipe away your tears, I have something to announce here. ”
As one of the most severely affected villages, Village Chief Liu memorized almost word for word the methods of eliminating locusts ordered by the county magistrate, and thought that he would implement them as soon as he returned.
This damned swarm of locusts came again yesterday in the middle of the night and scourged the few crops that were left.
