Now that the weather is warm and there is no problem of heating, seeing that the night is falling, the big guys did not light a fire, but took out their own dry food and ate it.

As for the chickens, they were given enough drinking water according to the requirements of Xilin Town, but the feed was only half full.

Hungry? Then go catch locusts and eat them, self-sufficiency or high protein!

Zhuo Han packed up the chickens, and then turned around to eat with Zhuo Yan and Chu Xingchen, "Not long ago, those old hens laid eggs in the nest, and I can't go back to school in time because of this delay, and I don't know if the eggs will be bad when we go back?" ”

For these eggs, Zhuo Han can be called painstaking, since the medicine he dispensed last time disappeared, Zhuo Han no longer dared to dispense medicine, no one ate anything last time, who can guarantee that there will be no accident in the future?

So it took a lot of effort for him to get the big rooster and the hen to breed.

Zhuo Yan smiled and comforted him, "Don't worry, eggs are not so easy to spoil, your eggs are only a few days?" ”

The three of them made do with some cornmeal dry food, drank a few sips of water with a military kettle, and then lay down on the grassland to rest in their clothes.

The chickens were not full, and after dark the herdsmen did not dare to move, but they were inevitably grunting aggrievedly, as if accusing their owners of abusing them.

There was some noise around, and Zhuo Yan was also worried that the locusts would fly over at night, "Xingchen, should I cover my head and face with a scarf, what if they come over and bite someone?" ”

Chu Xingchen sneered, he was a very serious man, only Zhuo Yan could make him laugh, "Don't be funny, I've never heard of locusts flying at night, and they only eat grass, and I've never heard of them biting!" ”

What Chu Xingchen said was the truth, except for a very small number of locusts with phototaxis that would fly at night, other locusts were dispatched in large-scale groups during the day, and a single locust could not fly far, only locusts flew in swarms, and only by using the principle of aerodynamics could they fly far and fast.

After hearing Chu Xingchen's explanation, Zhuo Yan was relieved, but she still wrapped herself more tightly in the quilt.

It's March now, and the wind blowing on the grassland has become warmer, and before you know it, everything around you is quiet, and everyone is falling into a sweet dream.

The next morning, Zhuo Yan woke up to a bird call, there are also birds in the grassland, this kind of bird is called starling, it is not big, but it is quite fierce, and it also feeds on grass seeds and insects.

Seeing a large number of starlings flying overhead, Zhuo Yan was only very surprised, "What are they doing so early in the morning?" ”

"The early birds have worms to eat, I guess they are going to catch locusts," Chu Xingchen got up with a neat movement.

Nature is in the dark, and everything has been arranged clearly.

Overhead, a large number of starlings flew westward, and they did not hesitate to move forward.

Following the direction in which these starlings flew, one could see a black cloud spreading from the western sky, surging in the direction of Xilin Town.

"It's locusts!"

"Oh my God...... So much? ”

As soon as the herdsmen woke up from their dreams, they were a little frightened and stupid when they saw this amazing scene.

Locusts are pests, they are a common thing on the grassland, and these guys have made a lot of trouble, but it is the first time that so many locusts have flown over on such a large scale.

Someone suddenly reacted, "Get the chickens out!" ”

The starlings have gone up, and the herders should be released.

As it turned out, the flocks reacted faster than one might think, and they seemed to anticipate the arrival of locusts and were already in the coop for a long time.

For example, Zhuo Yan's chickens are all hybrids of domestic chickens and pheasants, and the wings of these chickens are very powerful, and some of them have flapped their wings and flown out of the chicken shed.

Jinbao flashed her two big ears and ran around to maintain order, busy and happy.

The people woke up from a dream and quickly got up and opened the door of their coops, and the chickens all ran to the west as if they had heard the call.

Long before departure, the chickens were marked, and these marks were made on a village-by-village basis.

Zhuo Yan's chickens look like they are self-contained, they don't look like chickens at all, so they don't need to be marked.

The other chickens in the Willow Camp have their tail feathers dyed red, so their chickens are all called Red-tailed Chickens, and in addition to the chickens in the Willow Camp, there are also Green-tailed Chickens, Blue-winged Chickens and so on.

Now the chickens were flapping their wings and running desperately, and not far in front of them was an overwhelming black cloud.

People all watched in amazement with their mouths wide open.

The locusts could not fly long distances, and after flying a certain distance, they had to stop and rest, and seeing the black clouds slowly falling, the herdsmen just pounced on them, and at this moment they were in close contact with each other, and the chickens and dogs jumped for a while.

The locusts are powerless in front of the herding chickens, and these chickens have been on the road for a day yesterday, and they have not eaten enough at night, and now they see that the eyes of the locusts are green, and they stretch out their pointed beaks, and they will cut the locusts in two with one bite, and then swallow them into their stomachs.

The battle was fierce, the scene was brutal, and there were stumps and severed limbs of locusts everywhere.

The chicken, like a man, must have eaten carefully if there was only one locust, and now there is a large swarm of locusts, and of course it picks the fattest part to eat.

The chickens have learned wisely, and the locusts have the softest bellies and more meat, and they discard the other wings and thighs and do not throw them aside.

A moment later, the ground was littered with locust stumps.

As long as these locusts fell, it was impossible for them to take off immediately, and in such a short time, the locusts that fell on the blades of grass were eaten by the herders.

Zhuo Mu looked at the locusts, and then at the herdsmen's chickens still running west, and immediately said to Chu Xingchen, "Hurry up and inform the big guys, let everyone let the dogs go, and drive the chickens to the east!" ”

Chu Xingchen also reflected that these locusts are only staying temporarily, as long as they take off again, they will definitely continue to fly east, and now drive the chickens to the east, just enough to meet the next wave of locusts.

Without the slightest delay, he immediately ran to find someone and informed him of the incident with a loudspeaker.

Soon the people in Kazikou heard this order, and everyone reacted, and immediately released all their chicken dogs out to drive chickens, there are not many people with chicken dogs, but these chicken dogs have a nosy nature, they are not only driving their own chickens, but by the way all the chickens are driven away.

After a while, the chickens flew and the dogs jumped, and the herders were very dissatisfied with their wings and ran to the east, and behind them, the locusts took off again and flew towards the east.

Soon the bayonet became a battlefield.

This time the locusts fell again, just in time for the people's camp.
