Liu Wenjiao said to Maoping to go, let's go and see the situation in the distance, their car has been driving for 20 miles, and then get out of the car to check, the locust death here is the same as where they work, and the farming here is very good.

"The piles of locusts are the nutrients for crops, and farmers should be mobilized to bury the locusts under the roots of the crops." Locust plague is one of the natural disasters of agricultural production. The locusts have repeatedly caused the miserable scene of 'thousands of miles of bare land, leaving no grass behind, and starving to carry the road'. Imperial Princess, it was you who helped us a lot and saved us.

Officials in this city are very grateful. Liu Qing caught a grasshopper in a hole, it seems that this grasshopper escaped the cold climate in the hole, she took it in her hand and observed it carefully, and found that his third pair of feet was exceptionally slender and powerful, she put it on the ground, it strangely did not fly away immediately, but stood far away and stared at her, as if to warn her. It bounced off after a while, and his bounce was amazing.

Ruyiguo filled a bag of big grasshoppers in his pocket, and he told Liu Qing: "This is a delicacy, and I will give you fried locusts in oil when I go back tonight." ”

"Can this stuff be delicious? I can only consider it a bouncing champion. ”

"When I was in my hometown before, I also encountered a locust plague, which was to light a fire on the ground and smoke grasshoppers, and a few grasshoppers were cooked, which was very delicious. The crops were eaten by grasshoppers, so we packed up a few sacks of grasshoppers and roasted them to eat as food. If you eat too much, that's not a taste. ”

They drove 50 miles away, and there were live grasshoppers, but there were not many of them. There were some peasants catching locusts in the field, and a woman saw a woman like Liu Wenjiao dressed in noble clothes, so she talked to her on the ground.

"This lady, you are driving such a strange car, and you look like people from the Great Yue Kingdom, how did you come here at this time? Now the plague in Jiangyuan country is very popular, many people have died, and the disaster is not a single line, you see the locusts that are overwhelming in the ground, some people say that this is a disaster from heaven, why did heaven send such a disaster? After such a terrible plague, the people were left without food. ”

"Maybe it's a warning from heaven! How many people have died from the plague in your village? "The blessing of the holy doctors, very few people die in our village, and not many people in neighboring villages die."

"The main thing is that you have a good doctor there, right?? What special medical technology does he have. ”

"I used some, traditional Chinese herbs, the most important thing is that he has a strange incense, he scrapes a large piece from that strange incense every day, and then ignites it, and the fragrance wafts to our village and several nearby villages, and the plague is dispelled, it is a kind of Doumu incense, as if it is a kind of immortal existence."

"It is indeed a kind of immortal existence, which is not available in our country, even if you Jiangyuan Country does not have this thing, it is said to be brought out of the blessed land of immortals."

"People, you know so much, according to Lao Shengyi, he was indeed brought out from the immortals."

The imperial concubine instructed Ruyiguo to send the official back to the city, Ruyiguo spread her wings, put the official on her back and flew away, so that the peasants in the field were very surprised, and they all said that this is a fairy descending to earth?

A few peasants gathered around and talked to them, and one of them said, "I guess there was a frost just now, and most of the locusts are dead, and this must be your work, you are here to help us, thank you so much."

The captain of the palace guard replied: "If a country is in trouble, all sides will support it, and this is what we should do." ”

This group of people is standing on the ground, talking about the epidemic and disaster prevention. Suddenly, from the other side of the slope came a strange man, this man was very tall, with long hair draped, and the color of the hair was pale green, and the body that looked tense was snow-white. His clothes were split between the front and back, tied only at the front of the neck and around the waist, with a mesh pattern and a number of skirt-like transparent thin bands that were longer than the legs.

Liu Wenjiao turned her head to look, she didn't know what kind of race this was, she had never seen such a pale green-haired person on the Batu continent. He came a little closer, and saw that his arms were different from those of a human, there was no flesh on them, and from under his shoulders they were like a zigzag stick, and his five fingers looked like claws, which were relatively long and thin, and he felt that his face was somewhat human-like, and if you looked closely at the ears, they looked like very large and thin fins.

"Imperial concubine, don't be afraid, it's the mermaid who is here. She's here to trade with us, she's here to sell the silk, and the silk they weave is light and snow-white, and it doesn't get wet when it goes into the water. This is the woman saying to Liu Wenjiao, and Liu Wenjiao really saw her holding a silk as white as frost in her hand.

The merman approached, the merman was slender and slender, with a good figure, similar to a human, slightly thin and tall. The upper limbs and the sides of the body are connected with translucent leather wings and whiskers, which look beautiful and elegant, floating in the wind.

"Hello Sister Gui, I didn't expect the locust plague on land to be so powerful, I haven't been ashore for a long time." This is a female merman, she greeted Sister Gui warmly, and several women gathered around to see the shark silk he was holding.

Two more sharks came in the back, and they brought more sharks. Liu Wenjiao also came up to see, she touched the texture of this silk is not bad, and suddenly remembered the legend of the Great Yue Kingdom: a mermaid, came ashore to rent a house, where she traded shark silk with people, she was weaving shark silk every night, when she was leaving, she took her tears in a plate, his tears fell down and became a plate of pearls, she used these pearls to repay mankind.

"Did Liu Qing remember? This is the legendary mermaid of our Da Yue country. Liu Wenjiao said. But the mermaids in the legend of Da Yue have no legs, they only have fish tails, and the tails are four or five feet long. ”27KK

"Maybe they have many races, just like the humans on our land, there are a little differences between the different races, but their differences are too great." Mao Ping, the captain of the palace guard, came over, he wanted to buy a piece of this silk, since it was not wet in the water, he could ask Mama Li to make a raincoat.

Of course, the imperial concubine also wanted to buy it, but if she wanted to buy it, she would buy more, she felt that these were not enough for her to buy, so she had to take a piece first, together with the piece that Mao Ping took, and gave her a piece of gold, this female mermaid showed a very beautiful smile when she saw the gold, and he quickly said too much, I will find you a golden pearl. As she spoke, she took out a handful of golden pearls from a bag, the kind of pearls that were so beautiful that they had never seen them before.

According to the people of Jiangyuan Kingdom, there is a currency for the mermaids, which may vary from country to country, including starfish, turtle shells, and so on. But the most common is a rarer and hard-to-artificially cultivated golden pearl with the same diameter, which they call Zhu Ming. Because there are rarely, in the sea they also trade live shellfish that already contain this pearl, which they call coinage, because the pearls have not yet grown into a final fruit, which is somewhat similar to an advance payment.

Some sharks close to humans traded with the Terrans on the seashore, mostly bartering, and sometimes accepting rare mermaid currency on land. There are also some sharks who are close to people or have something to do on the shore to use human currency. So he was glad to see gold, which could buy a lot of things among humans.

After the three mermaids finished trading with them, they said a few more words and left. Liu Wenjiao has always been a very curious person, he wants to follow the merman, and at this time Ruyiguo came back.

"Ah Gui, these sharks are so cute! Where do they live? "There is a big river in front of it, and the big river leads directly to the Red Sea Lake, the largest lake in the source country, and the big river passes through the Red Sea Lake and then returns to the sea, and there is an island in the middle of the Red Sea Lake, called the Red Sea Island, and they live near the island."

They also said goodbye to the Jiangyuan people, and then got into the car and followed the three mermaid women behind. After a while, I saw them come to a big river, and two merman women jumped into the big river, and then swam in the river, and the merman had multiple skirt-like transparent bands that were longer than their legs. When swimming, your legs are wrapped in it to help you reduce the resistance of the current. They were seen to have clear, soft bones on their backs. "Actually, it's a fin." Ruyiguo said.

Why didn't that one jump into the river? They were questioning in their hearts, but they saw that it seemed to be out of the reeds, using a boat, "Wow, they still have boats, they are very creative." Liu Qing exclaimed. They could see that the boat was pulled by a giant fish, and that it was a boat, rather than a car floating on the water.

This kind of car that floats on the water is made of grass and light wood. The nobles in their family are all in this kind of car. They don't need to swim long distances on their own, but also to show their special status and protect their bodies.

According to legend, the roof cover is made of smooth water plants or silk, and according to legend, it is made of the foam film of the sea bream, with scale powder and fish oil, which is extremely smooth and does not absorb water. Look at this nobleman, how dashing his cloak is. Maoping remembered what the ancient book said, and saw a man sitting in the car, which was probably the woman's husband.

The woman got into the car, and the beautiful car began to drive on the water. "Why is this giant fish pulling the cart so obedient? It's like the animals we use on land, which should also be trained. Liu Wenjiao saw the car floating more than 20 meters on the water.

"Let's follow up!" Wishful Fruit Proposal. Liu Wenjiao didn't say anything, but drove the car into the water, about 25 meters away, and they followed behind him.

"How wonderful, they actually speak our human language, but there is a book that says that the merman has its own unique chant, and this kind of chant can be carried far away in the water, and in the near places they have another intonation, which is difficult for foreign races to understand." "Maoping, you know a lot about this. Tell us a little bit more about that. ”

Liu Yunjiao wanted to know a little more about this before arriving in the mermaid country.

Mao told them that the ointment of the mermaids in the sea not only has a very low ignition point, but also can burn for several months without extinguishing as long as a drop.

The East China Sea mermaid has the strongest sex, and this kind of mermaid is the same as men and women, so the single widows and widows on the beach often catch them and raise them in the pond to do it......

Shark males usually have the same skin as humans, but when they encounter enemies, they can quickly transform into a combat constitution, forming a hard scaly carapace skin on the outside of their bodies, as if they were wearing armor.

Legend has it that the merman is a tribe of ancient human beings who changed their physique with magic to avoid the scourge of war and hid in the water, so they have legs, and it is said that the fisherman met the immortal in the sea and was turned into a servant.

"This magic is like a Transfiguration Pill." Liu Wenjia said with a smile. Since Mao Ping and Liu Wenjiao ate the Transformation Pill and became extremely young, Liu Qing was particularly envious, originally Liu Wenjiao was older, but now it seems that he is much older than Liu Wenjiao. "You have a metamorphosis golden pill, can the imperial concubine reward me with one?" Liu Qing said with some pleading.

"This can't be, His Majesty the Emperor said, no one can give it."

In ancient times, with the gradual popularization of the shark silk and the increase in exchanges with the shark people, some land people also began to follow the merman's male skin changes, probably after practicing some exercises, when encountering the enemy, it will quickly transform into a combat physique, forming a hard scaly armor-like skin outside the body, as if wearing armor.

I saw the merman's car in front of me enter the lake, this is probably the largest lake, the Red Sea Lake, and I drove a long way forward, and finally saw the merman's car stopped, the lake here is very clean, and I can faintly see the island in front of me.

At this time, the merman's car also began to dive, and Liu Wenjiao's car also dived. "Oh, the lake is so deep, it's not more than 100 meters down." Liu Qing was a little surprised, dived for a while, and saw some nests that seemed to be made of water and grass. These house nests are fluttering, these many house nests are all connected together, this is about a tribe, a tribal group I don't know if there are hundreds of such grass nests. Looking at the past, it's a big piece anyway.
