"Those chickens, ducks and geese did not dare to go down to the fields at all, but they were driven down, and they were frightened all at once, and the wolves ran around in the fields, and trampled the good rice in a bad way, and they did not hunt locusts at all, but devoured most of the ears of rice!" Du Huaibing remembered the ridiculous things that the villagers had done these days, and shook his head with a smile.

"How can such a thing happen?" The sun was dazzling, Shen Zhanghua squinted at the ducks in the field, and didn't find anything special.

"There is something even funnier, there is a family whose chickens are frightened, flying everywhere, and the family is chasing it all over the ridges, and they are blind for a long time." Speaking of this, the smile on Du Huaibing's face deepened, and the corners of his eyes were engraved with traces of time.

Zhou ran into a wall at Du Mei's house that day, and she had a whim, anyway, chickens and ducks are poultry, Du Mei's ducks can catch locusts, and her chickens can too. As a result, in order to catch that timid chicken, he completely became the laughing stock of the whole village, so that the villagers could still have fun when they were so depressed.

"In this way, I should take a good look at this group of divine ducks." Du Huaibing's words aroused Shen Zhanghua's curiosity.

"No, especially the big white, it's amazing." Du Huaibing pointed afar.

"I've only seen geese that are white, and ducks aren't all brown?" Shen Zhanghua looked over, and sure enough, he saw a snow-white duck jumping up to peck at locusts.

"The villagers have also been so confused, but I have personally verified it, and there is no doubt that it is a duck." Du Huaibing touched his chest proudly and played the package ticket.

"It doesn't matter, as long as you can cure locusts, it doesn't matter if it's a duck or a goose." Shen Zhanghua quickened his pace.

"Du Mei, come on." Du Huaibing waved at Du Mei with a smile on his face.

"What's wrong? Patriarch. Du Mei took off his hat and showed a pink face.

When Shen Zhanghua saw Du Mei's appearance, his mind flickered. The last time I saw her was in early spring, and she was full of devastating resentment for her mother. And goodbye at this time, but it is a cardamom girl with eyebrows like distant daisies and lips like dandan, a pair of sheared autumn eyes, as bright as the stars in the dark night, and dense eyelashes are straight, like butterfly wings that are about to fly.

Ordinary girls are afraid of tanning, where are they willing to work outside under the scorching sun, and Du Meirao is so scorched by the scorching sun, still skin is white, because of sweating, his face is dyed red, exuding a moist glow like glutinous rice dumplings.

"Ahem, ahem, county master, look ......" Du Huaibing coughed lightly.

"Ah, well, this is excellent, Meizi, you tell me the details." Shen Zhanghua retracted his mind, only the back of his ears inadvertently turned red.

"Back to the county master, using ducks to exterminate locusts is also a method that our sisters came up with in a hurry, they are faster than artificial, and they save the food they feed." Du Mei bent down and blessed before he spoke.

"The result?" Shen Zhanghua looked at the surrounding fields, and there was indeed something different.

"This method of plum is really good. Look, my rice leaves are much better than the others. Fang's smile held his own rice leaves, comparing them with those in the field next door.

"Really." Shen Zhanghua squatted down and took a closer look. Sure enough, in the plot where the locusts were not killed with ducks, a lot of young rice leaves and ears of rice were wasted.

"County master, you get on the horse, just look at the whole field from a high place, and it is very clear." Du Huaibing confidently held the reins.

Shen Zhanghua followed his words, turned over and got on the horse, and sure enough, he looked down from a high place, and the advantages and disadvantages were immediately apparent. If the whole rice leaf can't cover the soil, it must be a manual insect catcher

The green waves that can be made in the wind must be the credit of the ducks.

"Then I wonder, why did the ducks of the Meizi family do the locust extermination, but the other people's homes cannot?" Shen Zhanghua got off the horse and asked with a frown.

"Meizi's ducks are smart when they are young!" Fang Shi hurriedly said.

"Hehe, it's just a coincidence. I had long planned to raise the ducks on the river beach and train them to understand the call from an early age. Besides, my ducks have been stocked on the river beach and eat small fish and shrimp at the mouth of the fish, which are all living creatures, so they will not be as frightened as the captive ducks that feed the rice. Du Mei spoke softly and eloquently, like a cool breeze in midsummer, bringing a trace of comfort.

"I see. Du Mei, would you like to come to my help? Shen Zhanghua nodded silently and asked with raised eyebrows.

"Me?" Du Mei pointed his finger at himself in disbelief.

"I won't tell you that the entire Qinghe County has suffered a locust plague, although your Dujiagou is the first, but it is not the most serious!" Shen Zhanghua's face was calm, although there were no waves, but the dark tide was turbulent.

"We're okay?" Du Mei's heart sank, it seems that this locust plague is really rare in a century.

"Patriarch Du is a very knowledgeable person, he led you to kill the locust plague at the beginning, and stifled their endless reproduction." Shen Zhanghua glanced at Du Huaibing, Du Jiagou has stood for a hundred years, and I have to say that every patriarch has made great contributions.

"Is there still a village that doesn't dare to exterminate locusts?" Du May's eyes widened in surprise.

"But no, the people of Lao Wangzhuang look fierce, but they are terribly scared when they encounter small locusts, and they burn incense and pray for blessings, and they have delayed a lot of work in vain!" Du Huaibing wondered in his heart, although Wang Laogen is not in charge, he should not be old enough to let others lead him by the nose.

"This sounds incredible, but it's an indisputable fact, so I need your help!" Shen Zhanghua looked at Du Mei expectantly.

"I'm just a weak woman, I really don't know what I can do to help the county master." Du Mei lowered his eyes and bowed.

"I want you to take the ducks to the villages to exterminate the locusts!" Shen Zhanghua looked at Du Mei with bright eyes.

"This ......" Du Mei didn't expect this, and when he heard his words, he couldn't react a little.

"Don't worry, the county government won't tell you to be busy in vain, and one acre of land will subsidize you for a liter of grain or 10 yuan, how do you see this, can you accept it?" Shen Zhanghua was afraid that Du Mei would refuse, so he hurriedly mentioned the reward.

"It's not a matter of money, Qinghe County is a hundred miles away, and I'm just a hundred ducks, I'm afraid I can't do it well." Du Mei made a rough calculation in his heart and frowned.

"You do your best, and nothing else." Shen Zhanghua held his hands and concentrated.

Du May's duck is already an accident in this catastrophe, and it may be the only hope. At this time, where is there any excessive demand.

"If I go out, I will not be alone, it is summer at this time, there is a lot of inconvenience in eating, living or something, what should we do?" Du Mei threw out a practical question, the ducks are far away, and it is impossible to go back and forth every day.

"I will say hello to the village chiefs of each village, and they will take care of food and shelter." Shen Zhanghua waved his hand and told Du Mei not to worry.

"This ...... Du Mei is gone, let's ...... in the field" Fang Clan listened to them and said worriedly.

"Only when the locusts in other places are exterminated can Dujiagou be truly free of the locust plague." Du Huaibing understands the righteousness and helps

Persuade Du Mei.

"County master, the subsidies you said will always be there." Du Mei turned his head around and asked.

"This is natural, I am a court official, how can I open my mouth!" Shen Zhanghua didn't know what she was asking, so he only answered seriously.

"If that's the case, I'll go to Chenqian Village to find someone to help." Du Mei said with a grin.

"Who? Who has what you can do! Shen Zhanghua hurriedly asked, Du Huaibing scratched his head, as if he hadn't heard of this person.

"Patriarch, do you know Uncle Mao Da, who sells duck seedlings? Champuda. Du Mei asked Du Huaibing with a raised face.

"He ......, he knows, but what does this have to do with locust extermination?" Du Huaibing paused and said.

"The duck seedlings in our ten miles and eight towns are all his, and I estimate that in addition to more than 100 ducks in my family, only his family has the most ducks. If you want to destroy locusts quickly, you must have more ducks in order to win! Dume pondered.

"I haven't heard that his ducks can do this." Du Huaibing said worriedly.

"So I'll have to go check it out first." Du Mei was full of ambition and seemed to have a great deal of certainty.

"Your approach works, and it would be great if there were other people who could help." Shen Zhanghua nodded approvingly.

"I'll ask later." Du Mei got the permission, and he was naturally full of confidence.

"Tomorrow, I will let the county Cheng come to listen to the letter, whether people agree or not, you will have to go out the day after tomorrow, and then I will let Han Liu bring two officials to protect you." In fact, in Shen Zhanghua's heart, he can't wait for Du Mei to go now.

"Hmm." Du Mei nodded and solemnly agreed.

Du Huaibing led Shen Zhanghua to take a closer look at the big white predator, turned around and looked at a few more fields, and left in a hurry until the sun was setting.

Du Mei had dinner, took some money, and went out with a cloth bag. By this time it was already completely dark, and a full moon hung in the sky, and a soft glow spread over the village.

"Uncle Maoda, are you at home?" Du Mei stood outside the courtyard and asked loudly. The evening breeze brought the smell of duck.

"Who?" Qian Maoda's wife looked out of the courtyard.

"Auntie, I'm Du Mei." Du Mei replied with a smile and a loud voice.

"Ah, Du Mei is here, come in, come in." When Qian Maoda's wife heard that it was Du Mei, she hurriedly greeted her warmly.

Time flies, the last time Du Mei came, she was breaking her leg and lying in pain on the bed, but Du Mei helped invite Zhong Yu to heal, and now she has recovered as before.

"Boss, Du Mei is here!" Qian Maoda's wife said excitedly.

"Du Mei of Dujiagou?" Qian Maoda greeted him, and asked in disbelief.

"Uncle, it's me." Du Mei walked over with a smile.

"Have you eaten? Uncle's family just eats, come on! Qian Maoda turned around and went back to the house, busy giving up his seat.

"Eat it, I've already eaten it." Du Mei picked up a small pestle and sat down.

"You...... Come now, what's the matter? Qian Mao Dami asked, smacking his wine.

"yes, that's a good thing." Du Mei had a mysterious smile on her face.

"I just added a little grandson half a month ago, but I'm curious about what else is good?" When it comes to his grandson, Qian Maoda's face is full of joy.

"Congratulations to my uncle's family for importing Ding, as soon as I talk about this, you can make good things come in pairs." Du Mei blinked his apricot eyes and smiled crookedly. 2k reading web
