Chapter 143 Iron Mesh Insect Prevention
Lian Yu ran on the ground, naturally not as fast as flying in the sky.
"If I had known this, I shouldn't have rested at night, I should have chased after me immediately. Now we're chasing after the locusts, and before we can get rid of them, they're all about to give birth to the next generation. ”
Even the horses of the gardenia were gnawed off by the locusts, and they could only run on two legs.
"It stands to reason that locusts only eat crops, so why do they eat even livestock and people?" Yuan Ling crossed his waist and walked out of breath.
"It's mutated. I always feel that this locust plague is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster. Lian Yu said this and glanced at the old man of the Yi clan who was weak-hearted.
The old man was at a loss, and he wanted to brush his beard, but he was empty. He felt that the broken beard did not look like an accident, it seemed like it was artificial, or it was deliberate.
The villages and forests they passed through were not left with a single leaf, not even a single bird.
"Oh no, it seems that they are no longer afraid of birds, and they have eaten them all." Lian Yu picks up the skeleton of a bird.
Everyone was in a heavy mood and quickened their pace to catch up.
The old man of the Yi tribe was old in the end, and his physical strength couldn't keep up, so he soon fell behind.
Yuan Ling didn't plan to care about him, and beckoned everyone to follow and return to Kyoto.
"Wait! If you don't take me with you, you won't know the weakness of these locusts! Only I can solve this crisis! The old man of the Yi tribe was still holding his shelf, but he could hear from his tone that this shelf was somewhat unconfident.
Seeing that no one paid attention to him, the old man of the Yi tribe began to be anxious.
"You threw me here, but did you think about your majesty, can he live until tomorrow?!"
Lian Yu and Yuan Ling stopped.
When the old man of the Yi clan saw this trick, he immediately added fuel and vinegar. "Do you think that I came to Guangbei alone with the Holy Maiden, and I didn't prepare in advance to protect myself?"
"What is our Yi tribe best at, don't I need to say more? If I die, so will your majesty. If you don't believe me, make a bet with me. ”
Lian Yi and Yuan Ling secretly gritted their teeth and glanced at each other, but they didn't dare to bet.
The price of this bet, they cannot afford.
So, Yuanling sent a wide and strong soldier to carry the old man on the road.
The old man lay on his back and muttered to himself: "The eggs of this locust are taken from the mountain stream of Lianshan. They are also cultivated with the dew and plants of the Lianshan mountain stream. Lotus Mountain is a perennial snow mountain, if you use the hot spring water or plants of the Lotus Mountain stream to lead them to fly to Lotus Mountain. Perhaps, it can solve this dilemma. ”
Lian Yu naturally didn't know where Lianshan was, and turned his head to look at Yuanling.
Yuan Ling's brows furrowed, as if he was thinking.
Subsequently, Yuan Ling questioned. "Needless to say, Lianshan is far away, and how much time it takes to go back and forth. Even if enough hot spring water and plants were taken, the locusts would have eaten Guangbei into a wilderness! Also, what if the method you said was as unreliable as your previous one? Are we also wasting time playing with you?! ”
The corners of the Yi old man's mouth moved, and he didn't continue.
Lian Yu approached and grabbed the remaining beard on the old man's chin.
"Don't think I don't know, old man, you did it. You've been thinking about the process of locust cultivation for a long time. It's just that you didn't expect that everything would lose your control. ”
"If this plague cannot be controlled, and the lives are ruined, you are a sinner in this world. If I find out that you have poisoned Youyu again, I will definitely let you survive and die. If you don't believe me, you can also take a bet with me and see if I do what I say. ”
"One more chance to give you the most effective way to get rid of locusts!"
The old man didn't say anything, gritted his teeth.
Lian Yu angrily let go of his beard and dragged Yuan Ling to the side.
She said she wanted to go to Kyoto first. Yuan Ling and the others moved forward normally, optimistic about the old man.
"What are you going to do?" Yuan Ling asked.
"I always felt that the root of all this was in that holy woman. I need to go back to Kyoto to meet this Yi saintess and see if I can find anything wrong. ”
"However, the locusts are about to arrive in Kyoto. You're alone, it's too dangerous. ”
Lian Yu said that if he was bitten by locusts, he could disappear in place and hide.
Say goodbye to Yuanling and his party, and even the gardenia is running lightly and moving forward at full speed.
The internal force was consumed relatively quickly, so she caught a raw fish alive and ate it, and replenished it while consuming it along the way.
At night, the locusts fall to rest. This gave Lian Yu a chance to catch up.
So, she arrived in Kyoto one step ahead of schedule.
She couldn't enter the palace gate, so she could only wait for the defenders to go up.
While waiting, he saw a group of defenders dragging something like an iron net out of the palace.
Soon, many people also appeared on the palace wall, calling for the arrangement of iron nets, saying that it was to prevent locusts from attacking.
Lian Yu looked at the fine iron mesh, and his eyes lit up.
Who created this thing, it's too practical.
It's just that it takes a lot of work to make it.
Da Da, the sound of horses' hooves rushed out of the palace from far and near.
You Wei was dressed in a gold-rimmed black dragon robe, the swing of the robe was flying, and he stared at Lian Yu with a smile. When he got near, before the horse could hold his feet, he turned over and dismounted.
"Gardenia, why are you here?"
Lian Yu had freshened up and repaired in the system before, so he didn't show his black and gray self in front of Youyufang.
Lian Yu thought that Youyu Fang would definitely not know that she followed Yuanling to the locust plague area.
"I'm here to tell you that it's best to have torches on the walls of every house to keep out locusts. Also, I want to see you. The Holy Maiden of the Yi Tribe. Lian Yu wanted to say that he would meet the female monarch, but he couldn't say anything.
You Weifang raised her eyebrows and looked up at the people who were busy arranging iron nets on the palace wall. "Ah Yu, didn't you send someone to tell me to build an iron net to prevent insects? It is said that the locusts are big and can be prevented by iron nets. Now, do you still use a torch? ”
Lian Yu twisted his eyebrows, looking puzzled. When did she arrange for someone to report to Youyufang?
Let's talk about that.
"The iron net is indeed better than the torch stick. But the iron net is limited, how can those people's homes be protected? Besides, it's not a one-and-done solution. If you want to save people and crops, you have to destroy locusts. That's why I proposed to meet the holy daughter of the Yi tribe. ”
"This locust is a disaster caused by the patriarch of the Yi tribe. The old man of the Yi tribe didn't say how to destroy the locusts, so I think the holy daughter of the Yi tribe should know something. ”
You Yu Fang took Lian Yu's hand and smiled. "So what are you waiting for, let's find out what the hell the Yi are up to."
Lian Gardenia followed Youyu up the palace road, staring at the palms of the two holding each other.
Then shake it off.
"It's urgent, let's hurry! Don't pull and pull, let people see jokes. Lian Yu took the lead.
You Huanfang looked back at the guards on the palace wall, and sure enough, he saw that they had all stopped what they were doing and were staring at the two of them.
"What are you looking at?! Hurry up and pull the net! ”
"Yes!"
The face that you were pulling changed instantly, and she caught up with Lian Yu with a smile.
"Gardenia, wait for me, they're not watching. Don't be angry, go slow."
