Chapter 617: Hunger Doesn't Choose Food

As soon as Xiao Qi thought of the good method that he had finally come up with, he was about to be destroyed by the people, and he was so anxious that he couldn't help but say something, and ran away.

She must hurry to stop the ignorant people, or she will lose all her efforts.

"Mother, what's wrong?" Kingdee's eyes widened, dazed.

Zidu grabbed his hand: "Your mother has run away, you are still here in a daze, hurry up and chase it." ”

Nan Jin saw Xiao Qi running like crazy, and didn't understand what was going on, so she also ran along.

"Stop, stop, stop, stop, I have something to say!" Xiao Qi hurriedly ran in front of those people, blocking their way.

"It's the Emperor, it's the Emperor, see the Emperor!" These people nearby witnessed the incident of Emperor Ji inviting the river god, and they had special respect for Emperor Ji.

"Get up, don't be polite!"

"I don't know why Emperor Ji is blocking our way, have we done something wrong?" The people whispered.

"You've got frogs in your bag?" Xiao Qi pointed to the bag in their hands and asked anxiously.

"Yes, we call it a field chicken here, and that place in Huadu may be called a frog, but it's all a creature anyway, and it doesn't matter what it's called." A man respectfully answered Xiao Qi's question.

"Rich lord, this kind of thing is the rarest, and Emperor Fei likes it too, if so, you can just take it.

Anyway, there are a lot of rice fields now, and I don't know what the reason is, but overnight, thousands of frogs suddenly appeared in the rice fields.

Hee-hee, everyone is catching frogs, this thing, but a delicacy on the table, fried in oil, especially crispy and delicious. The man tried his best to explain the delicacy of the frog to Xiao Qi.

"It seems that God is very kind to us, not only sent us a spring breeze greeting, Emperor Ji, but also sent us a delicious field chicken."

The people who were with the man couldn't help but thank God for the kindness of Emperor Ji.

Xiao Qi didn't know how to persuade them to stop catching frogs, and in the disaster area where supplies were particularly scarce, even the bark of grass roots was on the table, not to mention those delicious frogs.

The people have regarded the sudden frog as a gift from heaven.

When Nan Jin learned that the frog was caught by the people and used as a delicacy on the table, she secretly regretted it, but was indifferent.

With the mentality of watching the excitement, he stood silently beside Xiao Qi and became a veritable spectator.

Blue Rose and Kingdee ran over and snatched the bag from the people around them.

The frog jumped out at once, startling the two of them.

"Isn't this the frog that the merman prince invited?" Kingdee's eyes widened, looking at the field pheasants jumping around in the bag, and then at her mother.

The mother finally pulled down her face and begged for the mercy of the merman prince to get his help.

Unexpectedly, the people who obtained benefits actually destroyed themselves, which is really sighing.

Xiao Qi's face was solemn, and of course he knew in his heart that the people caught frogs not only because of profits, but also because of hunger.

As far as the eye can see, the wild vegetables have long been dug up, the bark of the trees has been peeled to mottled places, and some people even eat Guanyin soil.

Only the phenomenon of cannibalism remains, and it has not yet happened.

The panic caused by the threat of hunger was obvious, and the number of chickens that popped up overnight was so natural that the people naturally thought it was a gift from God.

"You people, you don't know how to catch frogs?"

The son couldn't believe his eyes, these frogs, but the creatures that the emperor had painstakingly come up with to help the disaster.

These people who are obsessed with interests and do not know what to do are actually going to destroy this with their own hands.

Nan Jin gently pulled Zidu, who was blushing with anger and had a thick neck, and motioned for him to calm down.

It's better to let the emperor handle it herself!

Xiao Qi stood in front of the people, and it was difficult to open his mouth to stop him.

She knew that now all the sustenance in the hearts of the people was on the frog, and she couldn't bear to reveal the truth and dash their hopes.

"Teiji, we're in a hurry, if there's nothing going on, please let us leave!" Everyone gossiped and looked at Di Ji, they couldn't afford it.

"No, you can't go, you know you ......" Blue Rose gritted her teeth and glared angrily, like a dominatrix.

"Blue Rose, let them go!" After a little thought, Xiao Qi hurriedly interrupted Blue Rose's words.

Blue Rose shouted, "Emperor, why do you want to let them go, if you don't tell the truth of the matter, they will continue to do this." ”

"Oh, you just eat salty radishes and worry about it, the reason why Di Ji did this naturally has her reasons."

Nan Jin pulled away the blue rose and nodded at the few people who looked confused, so they went over.

Although the people were puzzled, they were still afraid of these dignitaries.

Now that he has been released, he naturally doesn't want to cause trouble, so he quickly slips away.

"Mother, you are the one who wants to stop you, and you are the one who shouts for release, my mother is so contradictory, the child doesn't understand, what are you thinking in your heart?"

Kingdee flashed her two big eyes, puzzled.

Xiao Qi let out a long sigh: "Have you noticed that the people here are forced by hunger every day?" ”

"Emperor, you didn't go to the people's houses, how do you know that they are starving?" The children pouted, not believing that the people would go without food.

Xiao Qi pointed to the nearby flowers and trees, many of which were artificially ruined, what was the reason, it was because the people were too hungry, and they had reached the point of starvation, and gnawed the bark and Guanyin soil.

"Zidu, do you know what kind of tree this is?" Xiao Qi pointed to the tree in front of him and asked bitterly.

Zidu looked at it and said with a smile: "Oh, isn't this the pipa tree, its leaves and bark, after boiling, can be boiled into ass cream, which is specially used to treat colds and coughs."

It's just so strange, why should a good tree be stripped of its bark, this part-time job is the destruction of trees.

If you have a cold and cough, you can pick loquat leaves, so why destroy the tree?

I really can't understand these people, their eyes are only focused on the little interest on the tip of their noses, but they don't care about the consequences. ”

Zidu remembered that the people had caught frogs, and now they thought about it, and saw the bark of the loquat tree being peeled, and they were heartbroken, thinking that these people were all stubborn and unwilling, and they deserved to be punished.

"That's because the people were so hungry that they stripped the bark of the tree and made it into food, so that they could eat it.

Not to mention the bark, it is Guanyin soil, if people are very hungry, they will eat it.

You live in the palace, how do you know the suffering of the people, for three meals a day, they are playing with their lives. ”

"It's unbelievable that people can eat soil, it's unimaginable!" Zidu kept shaking his head, expressing doubts about Emperor Ji's understatement.

"How to eat tree bark and soil, if it were me, I would rather eat frogs than eat tree bark and Guanyin soil." Blue Rose said.

Kingdee said: "I think although the flowers here are going to die, there are still quite a lot of them, why don't you drink honey?"

I like to collect nectar and linger among the flowers, how pleasant! ”

"If everyone is like you, lingering among the flowers, picking a little honey when hungry, drinking a little water when thirsty, the material requirements can be ignored,

In this world, there will be no hunger, and there will be no endless troubles. ”

Xiao Qi stroked Jindee's head and muttered to himself.

"Maybe it's all the old cow's fault!" At the end of Xiao Qi, he suddenly said such a headless sentence.

Because everyone was listening to her intently, the old cow caused trouble, which made the second monk scratch his head.

Their eyes widened to hear her explanation.

"God asked Lao Niu to go down to the mortal world to convey the edict and let people eat one meal in three days, but the careless old cow passed on the wrong edict and actually made people eat three meals a day.

Therefore, people are busy day and night for three meals a day, and there is no free time.

It would be nice to eat one meal in three days, and everyone would not have to work all day.

You say, is it the old cow's fault? Xiao Qi pretended to be relaxed and told a joke.

When everyone heard this, there was really no reason to be happy except for melancholy.

"Mother, I'm sure that now those people must have gone out to catch frogs in the rice fields.

You can't bear to confiscate the frogs, but you have to stop the people who continue to catch them.

If you are indecisive and compassionate, it will be in vain for the merman prince's hard work. ”

"Uh-huh, I already know how to do it!" Xiao Qi nodded, confident.

"How, tell me about it?" Zidu hurriedly asked.

Xiao Qi smiled and said: "Frogs are beneficial insects, they can't be eaten, I have to let them be used by me."

But we can't be merciful to the locusts, we have to exterminate them all. ”

"You look happy, Emperor, do you have a plan?" Zidu asked suspiciously.

"I've come up with a great way to kill two birds with one stone!"

"Tell me about it!" Zidu urged impatiently.

"Blue Rose, you have to come out of this matter!" Xiao Qi smiled and looked at Blue Rose.

Blue Rose had another opportunity to show her talents, and she was very excited: "Although the little master commands, I will definitely saddle the horse and serve you." ”

"Frogs can devour locusts that have not grown, but we humans can destroy all the locusts that have grown."

"How?" Nan Jin asked suspiciously.

"Do you know that locusts can be fried and turned into a delicacy, and they taste no worse than frogs."

"What, I heard you right, mother, are you going to let everyone fry locusts to eat?" Kingdee was very surprised.

"Why not?"

"Little master, have you eaten?" Blue Rose asked with a grin.

"I ate it when I was a kid!"

"No wonder you came up with such a trick." Blue Rose was surprised, and also accepted Xiao Qi's strange trick.

Under Xiao Qi's guidance, Blue Rose opened to summon locusts, this summoning does not matter, but those unwelcome spiders, lizards, and rats also take the opportunity to come.

"Oh my god, there are so many uninvited guests!" Looking at the uninvited guests in a hurry under his feet, Zidu screamed continuously.

He was pampered in the palace, how could he have seen such a scene, and his face changed.

"Kingdee, put your father in the gold pocket, so as not to freak him out."
