I know, but I don't want to see you hungry too, let's look for food together, and the food transferred over there can last for a few days. Shen Yichi is not stupid, he knows the current situation, but it is one thing to know, and it is another thing to do.

He couldn't stop doing it because it didn't have much effect, after all, it wasn't easy for him to find a new thing to eat.

"Tomorrow we will go with them to dig wild vegetables in the mountains." Zhong Ling raised his head and looked at Shen Yichi.

The idea had occurred to her when she saw the poisoned man on the mountain.

Even if they said it themselves, let them not eat it like this, but who knows what they think, what if someone is hungry and eats the poisonous grass, then what to do, they go over together, at least they can still stop it.

"I'll go, you better take Rou'er here." Shen Yichi didn't want to see Zhong Ling go out, she was still in confinement, in fact, she still couldn't go out to blow the wind.

Today it was an accident and he didn't want to have a second time.

"It's good for Rou'er to let Qiaoxi take it, I said I wanted to be with them." Zhong Ling looked at Shen Yichi with a somewhat serious gaze.

She is a character who does what she says, if Shen Yichi does not agree, she will definitely be anxious with Shen Yichi now.

"I know, but you have to think about Rou'er, Rou'er is less than a month now, and if you leave like this, it will make Rou'er feel insecure." Shen Yichi moved the child out and kept using the child to talk about things.

"Rou'er is very obedient."

"I know, but Rou'er is still very young."

"You have to believe in our children."

"You have to take care of your children, and you have to trust me." Shen Yichi looked at Zhong Ling with serious eyes, his eyes were full of guarantees.

With a light that is easy to believe.

Zhong Ling finally agreed.

They came from outside, and there was no house here at all, but the village chief directly took Zhong Ling and them to the village chief's house and let them live there.

The village chief's house was in the very center of the village, so they could easily know what was going on in the village.

Zhong Ling still likes this very much.

The village chief was a man of thirty or forty years old, and although he was only forty, his hair was graying, and he looked much older.

The village chief's house is not big, but it is also very clean, and he has a son, who is also yellow and thin.

Zhong Ling knew that it was all because of the locust plague, otherwise the person in front of him would definitely look like a strong person.

There were more than 20 people in their group, and the village chief's family would definitely not be able to live in them, so they were arranged in a few houses nearby.

The next day, Shen Yiji and the others went to the mountains early to pull wild vegetables. Zhong Ling sat in the courtyard of the village chief's house with Rou'er in his arms.

Although it looks very leisurely, only she knows how anxious she is. When will this locust plague pass? This is obviously the season when everything grows, but because of the locusts everywhere, the situation has become particularly bad now.

The newly smoked sprouts were just coming out and were eaten by locusts. She can only be anxious when she looks at it, if the locusts are not extinct, even if the plant tries hard to sprout, it will have no effect.

While she was thinking about how to get rid of the locusts, Zhong Ling's ears moved, and she felt as if she had heard a different cry.

"Cluck, cluck."

It was the rooster that knew where it came from, which made Zhong Ling very excited.

It's chicks.

"Village chief, do you still have chickens at home?" Zhong Ling also looked at the village chief with excitement.

When she entered, she had seen no animals in the village except people.

There still seem to be one or two birds in the sky.

"No, since the locust plague came in and ate all the food, we have no more food to feed the chickens, and we have already killed them." The village chief was also a little helpless.

They were going to keep a few old hens to lay eggs, but there was really not much food for the chickens to eat. Even the chaff was eaten up.

You can only kill.

Zhong Ling frowned, chickens and ducks were good helpers in the treatment of locusts, and in that era, locusts needed to be fed artificially.

But the people here actually stupidly killed all the chickens and ducks, no wonder this place is so desolate, after this without chickens and ducks, this locust can be said to have no natural enemies at all, and live as many as they hatch.

Zhong Ling shook his head helplessly.

"Queen Mother......" Seeing Zhong Ling's reaction, the village chief was a little anxious, and his eyes were a little panicked.

Did you do something wrong, or did you say something wrong?

However, Zhong Ling did not let the village chief continue to speak, she made a gesture not to speak, hugged Rou'er and walked in the direction where she heard the sound of chickens crowing.

The village chief didn't know why, but he kept along.

After walking for a while, Zhong Ling felt that the voice he had just heard was gone, which made Zhong Ling very distressed, did he hear it wrong?

Maybe she's too eager to carry out her plan.

"Queen Mother, what are you looking for here?" The village chief looked at Zhong Ling, and his eyes were full of curiosity.

Just now, the queen mother obviously saw hope, but now the hope in the queen's eyes seems to be gone all of a sudden, but a little disappointed.

"I think I hear chicks, maybe I'm hallucinating." Zhong Ling shook his head, a little helpless.

"It could be a pheasant, there's actually a pheasant around here." The village chief's ears are not as sensitive as Zhong Ling's, but he has lived here for decades, and he has his own understanding of the surrounding environment.

"Pheasant?" Zhong Ling's eyes lit up, and it was okay to have pheasants.

It's better than nothing.

"Yes, there is a nest of pheasants around here, we went to look for it a few times but didn't find it, and everyone was gone." The village chief was still very emotional when he talked about this, it was like this before, they felt that this pheasant could be eaten, so they wanted to go over and catch it, but they went a few times, but they didn't find it, and no one had the energy to waste time here.

"When the emperor comes back in the evening, I will tell him the news." Zhong Ling's eyes were full of hope, since there were pheasants around here, then she brought them back and domesticated them well, could she use them to catch locusts?

This idea really made Zhong Ling happy, and it didn't count as seeing a little hope.

And with locusts as feed, this pheasant will also grow fast.

Zhong Ling was full of smiles, but the village chief had forgotten to speak.

"You mean the emperor, that person, is the emperor......" The village chief felt that his blood pressure was a little high.

Shouldn't the emperor be in the palace? When did the emperor come out with the queen again, and the situation in the palace ......

"Village chief, you heard it wrong, the emperor is in the palace, what I said is that when they come back, I will tell them, let them go over and bring this nest of pheasants back." Zhong Ling felt that if a master of Ouchi went to catch pheasants, there must be no problem.

"Oh, is that so?" The village chief is still a little suspicious, but the person in front of him is the queen's mother, he doesn't seem to be suspicious, he is just an ordinary person, what reason does the queen mother have to hide from him?

"Yes, the village chief asked you to help boil a bucket of water." Zhong Ling looked at the village chief with a smile, as if what he had just said was the truth, and he didn't feel empty at all.

"Good, good." The village chief replied and immediately went to the kitchen to boil water.

Zhong Ling looked at the back of the village chief and felt a little annoyed.

This is also the reason why her reputation among the people is better than Shen Yichi's, that is, because Shen Yichi usually doesn't use his own name when he comes out, and he usually doesn't let people know his true identity.

After all, the emperor's identity is special, if he talks about the emperor's name when dealing with some trivial matters, it is not a good thing for Shen Yichi, after all, the emperor is generally in charge of every day and handles all major national affairs. If the emperor had to do everything himself, the country would have been in chaos a long time ago.

The people will not have a sense of security, after all, there is only one emperor, and he can't go everywhere.

"Rou'er, you are a little lucky star, I believe that the queen mother will definitely make the situation here better and better." Zhong Ling said and teased Rou'er.

Rou'er was still young, and her face was almost expressionless. I only know that I looked at Zhong Ling with my eyes open.

Zhong Ling also liked it tightly, so he looked at his child carefully.

Shen Yichi and the others didn't come back until the evening, and they were all tired, and the harvest was naturally also harvested, but no matter how you look at it, it is a little unsatisfactory.

"Ah Chi, let me tell you about my discovery today." Zhong Ling couldn't wait to go up when he saw Shen Yichi.

"Wait, I'll wash up." Shen Yichi stopped Zhong Ling in time, he was now covered with sweat, and those weeds, he was a little uncomfortable.

"Okay." Zhong Ling nodded, but still followed Shen Yichi in.

Qiaoxi didn't want the village chief to be here when she came back, she asked the village chief to go down to rest and serve Zhong Ling here.

But she didn't have much to do, digging wild vegetables outside, and the clothes wouldn't be clean.

Qiao Xi didn't dare to hug the princess now, but just helped to wait for things on the side.

"Ah Chi, I and the village chief found that there are pheasants around here today, and you said that we should bring these pheasants back for training, can we get rid of this locust." Zhong Ling was a little impatient.

She was really a little helpless by this locust, and if she didn't get rid of this locust, she might have gone crazy first.

"It's probably not big, although pheasants can eat locusts, but there are too many of them after all, and they can't be eliminated at once." Shen Yichi shook his head, and had no choice but to pour cold water on Zhong Ling's head.

"I know, but as long as there are enough chickens, the locusts can be controlled." Zhong Ling is not stupid, she has already imagined many situations one by one.

I don't expect a few chickens to wipe out the locusts completely.

"Theoretically, it's doable." Shen Yichi nodded, not denying.

"Yes, I also feel that this is okay, you can let Shen Dian go over and bring back that nest of pheasants at night, and I will domesticate it." Zhong Ling is now in high spirits.

She's so excited, it's really a good way to do it. Anyway, locusts have always been needed, and if this chicken will eat locusts by itself in the future, then there will not be such a big food burden when it is raised.

Maybe she can also domesticate a new breed.
