Mu Chenmo hugged his fists: "Since that's the case, I'm going to say goodbye." ”

Seeing Mu Chenmo and Qi Yu turn around and leave, the older official hurriedly chased after him: "Little brother, can you leave an address, and when the county order comes back, I will go to find you." ”

Mu Chenmo and Qi Yu glanced at each other, if it weren't for the discussion between them just now, it would really make people think that the county order was just going out to do something.

"Brother Ya Gong, I heard that the locust plague here is serious, so I came from the south to see if our local method there can solve the locust plague, and I haven't found a place to live for the time being." Mu Chenmo looked at the official helplessly.

The official looked at the two of them who were indeed dusty, and there were still two burdens hanging on the horseback, and a look of hesitation flashed in his eyes.

"The two of you will follow me into the county government first, and then we will talk after seeing Master Li."

The officials standing behind him were a little surprised when they heard his words.

The young official pulled him aside: "Head, these two people don't know where they came from, and I don't know if what they said is true or not, and Wu County's order is not there, Master Li can't hold it." ”

"If the locusts are not controlled, the villagers will starve to death." The elder servant had a hideous face, and glanced at Qi Yu and Mu Chenmo: "Dead horses should be live horse doctors, in case they really have a way." ”

walked in front of Mu Chenmo and Qi Yu, and asked about the identities and origins of the two while leading people to the county office, Mu Chenmo asked him about the current situation in the county.

Qi Yu followed behind and looked around, the county government that looked dilapidated on the outside was renovated inside, especially in the middle of the backyard, there was a rockery made of Taihu Lake stone.

His brows furrowed unconsciously, this piece of Taihu Lake Stone was worth a lot of money, and he didn't want to get a piece back home.

When they came to the ear room on the east side of the backyard, the elderly official knocked on the door: "Master Li, the two young people said that there is a way to control locusts. ”

"What?" There was a sound of running footsteps, and the door opened suddenly, and a man with gray hair and a haggard face about fifty years old looked anxiously at the older servant: "Cheng Yatou, what about the people." ”

"Master Li." Mu Chenmo clenched his fists.

The man's eyes turned to Mu Chenmo: "Is it that you have a way to control locusts?" ”

Mu Chenmo nodded, and as soon as the man grabbed Mu Chenmo's arm, he walked into the house, and Qi Yu's forehead jumped suddenly.

walked between the two, pinched the man's wrist with one hand and pulled Mu Chenmo's hand out with the other.

With a displeased look in his eyes, he smiled and said, "Master Li, just say don't use your hands and feet to insult Sven." ”

Master Li didn't look at Qi Yu at all, stared at Mu Chenmo with burning eyes, and made a gesture of please.

Glancing at Qi Yu, Mu Chenmo followed Master Li into the house, and when he walked to the door, Mu Chenmo was embarrassed, only to see that there were books everywhere on the table on the ground, and there was no place to stand on his feet.

Master Li hurriedly bent down to clean up: "The house is a little messy, don't be surprised, I searched all the ancient books and books and didn't find a way to control locusts." ”

Cheng Yatou came in with someone and hurriedly helped pick up the books that were thrown everywhere, Mu Chenmo and Qi Yu were stopped by Master Li as soon as they wanted to bend down to help.

"Don't do it, Childe, it's right away." Pointing to the two chairs that had just been packed, "Please sit down for a while." ”

Mu Chenmo sat on the chair and looked at Master Li, and was surprised to find that he was somewhat similar to Hui Niang Zhang, thinking of what Hui Niang said in the capital, and guessed that this person might be her father.

The young servant brought two cups of tea and put them on the small table between Mu Chenmo and Qi Yu: "Don't be surprised, Master Li is usually a clean and neat person, but he was also forced to be like this by the locusts in the sky." ”

Nodding, Mu Chenmo picked up the teacup and blew on the floating tea foam on it and took a sip, the bitterness spread to the entire mouth, Qi Yu sniffed it, and put the teacup down directly.

Master Li sat opposite the two of them, his eyes staring at Mu Chenmo eagerly: "Childe, can you talk about it now." ”

"Master Li, have you ever caught locusts to eat?" Mu Chenmo put down the teacup.

Master Li and Cheng Yatou looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time, and the young official hurriedly said that he couldn't eat it because of ...... Whoever offends the locust god and sends a plague, if he eats it, there will be a plague.

Qi Yu obviously saw that the expressions of Master Li and Cheng Yatou became nervous and then relaxed, presumably the broken name should be Wu County Order.

It seems that they don't know that Hui Niang's lawsuit in the capital and the emperor's dispatch of the two of them to disaster relief have flickered a little more when they looked at Master Li.

After listening to the words of the young servant, Mu Chenmo nodded and did not refute, the problem of thousands of years of faith is not something that she can correct in a sentence or two, but the possibility of a plague after the catastrophe is indeed great.

"Master Li, can you take us to the place with the most locusts?" Mu Chenmo asked with a frown.

Cheng Yatou glanced at the pensive Master Li: "Master Li, don't hesitate, go ahead, you can find a way when you come back." ”

Mu Chenmo and Qi Yu, who listened to it, were confused, was there anything that could not be seen, or something that could not be said to the outside world.

Master Li gritted his teeth: "Let's go, I'll take you there, I'll take care of something." ”

With Mu Chenmo and Qi Yu went out, the locusts crawled all over the wall, and as soon as the people came out, they were so shocked that they flew around, and the young official took out a donkey, and Master Li rode up.

Mu Chenmo and Qi Yu rode horses and slowly followed the donkey, the further north they went, the more locusts there were, and when they came out of the county to the north, the locusts covered the sky and the sun and pressed a piece of black oppression.

"These locusts all flew from the grassland where the Xiongnu were, and the strange thing is that they stopped at our Wei County and didn't leave." Master Li sighed again and again after speaking.

Mu Chenmo nodded, coming from the Xiongnu Menghel grassland, presumably there has been a drought for many years, and there will be locust plagues for a long drought, no wonder they frequently launched attacks on the border of Daqi, burning, killing and looting.

Looking at the locusts in the sky, Mu Chenmo also felt strange, why did the locusts stop here and not leave, it is said that the locusts should continue to migrate after eating the vegetation.

After pondering for a moment, Mu Chenmo turned his head to look at Master Li: "Master Li, set it on fire." ”

Master Li looked at Mu Chenmo in shock: "After the fire, everything will be destroyed, where do the hometowns live." ”

Mu Chenmo's face was full of black lines, and she blamed herself for not explaining it when she thought about it, but looking at this old man, she didn't want to explain.

A person who gave his daughter to the county order as a concubine for the sake of his future, even if he has a heart of love for the people in the world, she doesn't like it.

Seeing Mu Chenmo turn around and get on the horse, Master Li hurriedly grabbed the reins of the horse and glared at her: "If you can't cure the locusts, the villagers won't be able to survive." ”

Mu Chenmo looked at this stubborn old man speechlessly, pulled back the reins of the horse and looked at Cheng Yatou and the officials who followed.

"What about your decision? Is it to burn the locusts or to keep the dead stuff? ”

Cheng Ya's eyes showed a fierce light and spit out two words: "Burn, burn these harmful insects, and the house will be rebuilt in the future." ”

Master Li jumped to his feet and shouted that he couldn't burn, Mu Chenmo ignored him at all, beckoned to Cheng Yatou, and whispered a few words in his ear.

Cheng Yatou's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he waved at several officials and ran out with more than a dozen people, and the locusts flew up.

Master Li gritted his teeth and stomped his feet to chase Cheng Yatou, passing by Mu Chenmo's side and glaring at him fiercely.

Qi Yu slipped in front of Mu Chenmo, looked up at the person on the horse, and sighed: "Mo'er, don't be too arbitrary, Huiniang's matter will be decided when she comes back." ”

"Did you guess it again, X-ray?" Mu Chenmo raised his eyebrows, and when he saw the curiosity on Qi Yu's face, he quickly changed the topic: "Don't you want to know how I burn it?" ”

With a toothy smile, Qi Yu's eyes softened: "Mo'er, it won't harm the people." ”

gave Qi Yu a roll of the eyes, Mu Chenmo hit the horse and ran forward, and Qi Yu flew on the horse and chased after him quickly.

I found Cheng Yatou all the way, and saw that he was digging a pit with the officials and the people, and Master Li stood aside in a daze.

Looking at the complicated light in Mu Chenmo's eyes, this young man should have never seen it before, but why did she have a disdain in her eyes.

Everyone was digging in full swing, and Mu Chenmo circled around the three-meter-square pit, seeing that the depth was almost so that Cheng Yatou put the prepared firewood into the pit.

Seeing that the sky was still bright, Mu Chenmo decided to have a meal first, and when it was completely dark, Mu Chenmo came to the pit to put the lit torch into it, and the fire rose to the sky.
