The people were afflicted by the plague of locusts, and they were all enthusiastic to hear that someone could deal with it.

Song Qinyu looked at these people with a smile on the corner of his mouth, the people here are very simple, which is why he can like this city.

Shen Ling looked at the active people and said loudly, "I don't need so many fields, it's enough to have my uncle borrow this half an acre from me, as long as you can cooperate with me when I need it."

The people clapped their chests and shouted, "Don't worry, county lord, we will definitely cooperate with you." new

Shen Ling nodded and waved at them, "Okay, you guys go about your own business now, don't be all here."

After hearing this, the people did not hesitate, and dispersed, only the old man at the beginning was still here.

"Uncle, I'll have people come over tomorrow to put a temporary fence around this land, you don't need to look at these pieces of land for the time being, I'll take care of it."

After hearing this, the old man nodded again and again, "Okay, I'll listen to the county lord, don't come."

Seeing that the matter of borrowing land had settled, Song Qinyu asked again, "Is there anything else that the county lord needs the cooperation of this king?"

"Yes." Shen Ling pointed to a vacant lot next to the ridge, "I need the prince to help me build a temporary shack, it doesn't need to be good, just let me sleep here."

Song Qinyu was very surprised, "The county lord sleeps here?"

Shen Ling nodded without hesitation, "Of course, I promised you to solve the locust plague, so naturally you will do your best."

Although she likes the gorgeous and soft bed, she can also compromise for the sake of the locust plague and solve the problems of the people, which is more important than anything else.

Song Qinyu felt a little harsh on Shen Ling, and his brows furrowed slightly, "Why don't I book a room for the county lord in the inn near here."

Shen Ling shook her head to stop, if it was just to get closer to here, then she couldn't be wronged to live in a small shack by herself, she could book a room by herself.

She explained, "No, I need to observe the habits of the locusts here, so that I can control the locust plague."

Song Qinyu was silent for a long time, he asked Shen Ling to help control the locust plague at the beginning, but he just heard the rumors and wanted to try, but he didn't expect Shen Ling to really do his best.

Since the parties themselves didn't say anything, it was difficult for Song Qinyu to stop them.

"Okay, then listen to the county lord."

Shen Ling was not surprised by Song Qinyu's answer, but along the way, she saw Song Qinyu sighing for the locust plague.

Coming back to his senses, Shen Ling pointed to the field he had just picked up.

"This half acre of land, let people draw a fence and enclose it first, and call soldiers to guard it nearby, don't let people approach."

"This king will arrange it when he returns."

The two of them walked around here again, and only went back after a careful investigation.

It was morning when they came, and when they went back, the sun hung high, and it was the hottest time of the day, but Zhuqing stood at the door of the inn and kept watching.

He got up a little late this morning and went to look for Shen Ling as usual, but he didn't see her, and he was told by Luo Yuheng that he knew that Shen Ling and Song Qinyu had gone to see the field that was being tormented by locusts.

Seeing Shen Ling's figure, the young man was overjoyed, "Sister, you're finally back."

"What's wrong? Did something happen?"

The young man's cheeks bulged and he whispered, "No, I'm just worried about you, you must take me with you next time you go out."

"Okay," Shen Ling smiled and touched Zhuqing's head, "But my sister will be in the field during this time, and she will sleep there at night."

She thought for a while and said, "Taojuan's martial arts are not high, and Yuheng is weak, you stay in the inn, in case something happens, you can also take care of it."

The little boy was dissatisfied, his brows furrowed tightly, and the corners of his mouth tended to develop downward.

"But I want to stay with my sister."

Seeing the young man's persistence, Shen Ling sighed, "Then let's do it, my sister tells you where I live, you can come over to help during the day, but you have to go back to the inn at night."

Zhuqing hammerhead is depressed

"Okay."

Song Qinyu's side moved quickly, and in the afternoon he sent people to fence off the field and build a small shack.

After Shen Ling received the news, he went to see it, the shed was very sturdy, although the place inside was not big, but fortunately, the things were complete, and the most satisfying thing for Shen Ling was the bed in the house, which was very comfortable to sit on, and it was not awkward at all.

"Is the county lord still satisfied?"

Shen Ling bowed slightly, this was much better than she thought.

With a venue and a place to live, Shen Ling began to deal with the locusts, and she put the locusts she caught that day together with the Gu worms she raised.

It was found that the locusts were quickly bitten to death by the Gu worms, but there were also a few Gu worms that were eaten by the locusts, and a few Gu worms ate the locusts and were poisoned to death by the poison in the locusts' bodies.

Shen Ling made persistent efforts and studied several kinds of Gu worms, and found a kind of Gu worm that could eat locusts, but the devouring speed was relatively slow, and it would be affected by the toxicity of locusts.

Looking at the Gu worm in the Gu porcelain, Shen Ling sighed deeply, but this is not enough, it seems that to increase the adaptability of this Gu worm to toxicity, it is necessary to give it some other poisonous insects and poisonous weeds.

In the following days, Shen Ling caught poisonous insects and weeds everywhere, and many people cooperated with Shen Ling to help.

Because of everyone's help, Shen Ling refined countless poisonous Gu, and put the poisonous Gu into the half-acre field to test, and finally screened out the most suitable poisonous insects to annihilate locusts.

It was another night when the stars were scarce, and Song Qinyu thought of the locust incident, and his heart was depressed, so he couldn't help but go out of the house to the field where the locust plague was taking place.

Some days have passed, and some of the fields have been eaten by locusts.

Song Qinyu sighed and shook his head, deeply feeling his powerlessness in this matter.

He walked along the rice field, and found that there was a candle lit on the edge of the ridge in the distance, which was Shen Ling's small shack.

Song Qinyu walked over, the door was not closed, and he saw Shen Ling holding a small Gu porcelain in his hand, and he was looking at it attentively.

"It's so late, why hasn't the county lord slept yet?"

Shen Ling heard the voice, and then realized that Song Qinyu was coming.

She closed the Gu porcelain, "Didn't the prince sleep either?"

"This king can't sleep, come out and walk casually."

Just take a walk? Shen Ling raised her eyebrows, "The City Lord's Mansion is not close to here."

Song Qinyu was silent, he was really worried about the locust plague, he was lying on the bed tossing and turning, and he couldn't sleep.

Shen Ling, who saw through Song Qinyu's worries, smiled slightly, she stood up, "But the prince came just in time, I have newly researched a Gu worm today, and the prince can go with me to see the effectiveness of this Gu worm."

Hearing that there had been progress in dealing with locusts, the gloom in Song Qinyu's eyebrows dissipated a little.

"Gladly."
