Chapter 51: Solving the Locust Plague
Seeing Li Dazhi's appearance, Yun frowned unhappily.
"Dazhi, what's wrong with you, how did you enter our house recklessly, and do you know how to count etiquette?"
Although the Yun family has always loved Li Xi, she is still very polite, so she is extremely dissatisfied with Li Dazhi's behavior.
Maybe because he was so tired when he ran just now, Li Dazhi couldn't even speak, just pointed out the door.
Li Xi's sixth sense told her that nothing good should happen.
She picked up a cup of tea from the table and handed it to Li Dazhi.
"Don't be in such a hurry, drink saliva to moisten your throat, and speak slowly!"
Li Dazhi drank all the teacups in Li Xi's hand, then frowned, and said hoarsely: "Sanya, the big thing is not good, there is a locust plague this morning!" ”
Rumble......
It was as if something had collapsed in Lixi's head.
Seeing Li Xi stunned in place, the Yun family was also anxious.
"No, our family just went to see the field yesterday, and the medicinal herbs are growing very well, why did we encounter a locust plague so one night?"
Li Dazhi squatted on the ground with a painful face, covering his forehead with his hand.
"Who knows, I got up early this morning and wanted to go to the field to have a look, but as soon as I went out, I saw that something was wrong, and when I got closer, it turned out to be a locust plague!"
"Sanya, tell me what to do now, if there is a locust plague in the crops, make do with it and eat it, but what can we do with this medicinal herb! This year, we didn't keep a single acre of land, and all of them were planted with medicinal herbs, which ...... What will we eat in the next year? ”
At this time, Li Xi raised his head seriously and said.
"I'll take a look!"
Li Xi and his entourage walked to the side of the medicinal herb field at the door, only to see that the green medicinal materials before were all a small hole, and some of them even had no leaves left after being eaten.
I remember that after I hadn't crossed over here before, Li Xi had read in a book in the school library that the locust plague was not an ordinary natural disaster, and that the locusts would attack again and again if there was a first time.
If he keeps doing this, Li Xi is sure that it will definitely affect this year's harvest, and even if it is more serious, the medicinal materials here will still die, then in this case, the manpower, material and financial resources for planting medicinal materials before will be wasted.
No matter what the Yun family said, they were all women's families, and she looked at the miserable image in front of her, and her face was disheartened.
"I thought there would be a good harvest this year, but I didn't expect to be ruined by these damn locusts! What kind of iniquity has been created! ”
Then she turned around and slapped Li Er's arm fiercely.
"You who have suffered a thousand knives, you didn't listen to you when you shut up before, look, now you really have a locust plague, right? You crow's mouth, you've made us miserable! ”
Li Er really has a hard time and can't say it.
Knowing that the Yun family was in a hurry, Li Er didn't have the same knowledge as her, so he walked up to Li Xi and patted her on the shoulder.
"It's all God's fault, girl, it has nothing to do with you, it's nothing!"
"That...... Great wisdom! It is indeed our fault to let the three of you brothers take risks with our family this time, so if this year's medicinal materials cannot be sold, your losses will be compensated by me Li Er! ”
Hearing this, Li Dazhi looked up at Li Er with a tangled expression.
"Second Uncle Li, why are you bothering?"
At this time, the people in the village also rushed to the fields to see the crops because of the locust plague.
Seeing Li Xi's family's medicinal herb field, everyone looked at their family with a playful face, waiting for the show to be staged.
"Hey, who said that as long as you grow medicinal herbs with her, you can have a lot of silver? Now look at this medicinal herb field, hey, hey, miserable? ”
Second Aunt Li walked to the side of a medicinal herb, took the branch of the medicinal herb that was eaten by the locusts, and shook her head helplessly.
The people around him also looked at Li Xi with a funny face.
"That's it, we just said at the beginning, how can a mere seventeen-year-old girl have such great ability? Dazhi, tell me about the three of you, what are you doing, you have to follow this little girl to grow some medicinal materials, now the medicinal materials are gone, and there is no food to eat! ”
"As the saying goes, it's not a family, it's not a family, Li Erxin has worked hard for most of his life, and he hasn't made much money, just how much ability does this female baby of his have? In fact, I just don't know how thick the sky is! ”
Everyone, you and I began to taunt Li Xi word by word.
After Li Xi lowered his head for a long time, he slowly raised his head and sneered at the few people in front of him.
"Everyone, don't talk too much, your crops have been eaten by locusts, but our medicinal herbs are still planted in the ground intact, and none of them have been eaten!"
Hearing this, what Li Xi said was not completely unreasonable, and the Yun clan immediately stood on Li Xi's side.
"That is, let's let the herbs grow for a few more months, and then the harvest will be the same! What is the use of your food to eat, and it has not been swept away by locusts? ”
As soon as these words came out, there was a rough laugh among the crowd, and then the old man Li next door walked out unhurriedly with a cane.
"Oh, Sanya, you girl, what a big breath! I Li Laohan has planted crops for a lifetime, and I can be regarded as a person who has come over, do you think that after the medicinal herbs are eaten the branches and leaves, they will continue to grow, I believe that in less than half a month, your medicinal herbs will all die from the roots! ”
Li Laohan's words are embarrassing.
"What Li Laohan said is reasonable, fortunately, we didn't grow medicinal herbs with Sanya before, otherwise we would have been harmed by Sanya's family!"
Facing everyone's suspicions, Li Xi frowned, and suddenly raised his head and said indifferently.
"What I do by myself, I am fully capable of taking responsibility for myself, as for whether our medicinal materials can be sold or whether they will die in the ground, then I don't have to worry about the villagers!"
"I, Li Sanya, put my words here today, no matter what happens this time, I can sell all the medicinal materials at a high price, if I break my promise, I, Li Sanya, will not grow medicinal materials from now on!"
Li Er was in a hurry, afraid that Li Xi would say big things casually because he was competitive, so he immediately ran to her side and said quietly.
"Sanya, we don't need to compete so hard, lose money to Dazhi and them, our family still has that ability, don't embarrass yourself!"
Li Xi shook his head with a smile and deliberately raised his voice: "Regarding this locust plague, I have my own way to solve it!" ”
