Chapter 59: Nangong Qiao is jealous

Shen Yunqing looked at Zilin's earnest eyes and politely refused: "Brother Zilin, hunting and killing locusts is a physical job, I'm afraid you won't be able to help." ”

"However, I need your help with the potions, is that okay?"

Zilin: "Yes, yes, I can match whatever potion Miss Qing needs." ”

Shen Yunqing: "You wait a little. ”

There is a lot of space for potions to hunt locusts, but if you take out so much at once, I am afraid that people will be suspicious, so I can only take the raw materials and let Zilin mix it with water.

She took advantage of everyone's attention to enter the ancestral hall and walked into the small room where they had rested last night.

Half a quarter of an hour later, she came out with a bucket of yellow liquid, the liquid was a little pungent, and as soon as it came out, the villagers covered their noses and dispersed: "What is this?" It stinks! ”

Everyone looked at her with great curiosity.

"The medicine to kill locusts has to be mixed with water, and it doesn't smell so bad when mixed with water."

She estimated that these pesticides could be mixed with dozens of barrels, and beckoned to Zilin: "You can help me mix water!" ”

Zilin squeezed to the front from the crowd and said happily: "Okay, Miss Qing, in what proportion is the water mixed with?" ”

"One to thirty."

"Huh?"

"It's one potion for thirty parts of water."

Zilin still doesn't understand, what is the amount of this portion?

Shen Yunqing can't say that there is such a unit as milliliters, they don't understand it, they don't find any suitable containers when they look left and right, and in the end they can't, she ran back to the room and took out a measuring cup from the space under the cover of the back basket.

"That's it, a cup of medicine is just one serving, understand?"

Zilin had a reference, so he took the big bucket of medicine and walked to the well outside the ancestral hall, where several villagers had already volunteered to help him fetch water.

Arrange the first step, and the next things to prepare.

A voice came from behind him: "What do you need me to do?" ”

Shen Yunqing turned around and saw that Nangong Qiao's face was a little not good-looking, "You just wait for the locusts to come and fly!" ”

"Huh? Do you know when the locusts are coming? ”

Shen Yunqing nodded and pointed to a black dot in the distance of the sky, "Look, that's it." ”

Locusts are creatures that do not stop eating the crops in the field, and the so-called goose plucking their feathers is what they say.

"At their pace, we should be here this evening, so we don't have much time."

Nangong Qiao didn't expect it to be so fast, turned his head sideways and asked, "So fast?" Are we in time? ”

He was not panicked in the face of the enemy's 108,000 troops, but in the face of this locust, he didn't know the bottom of his heart, and he couldn't help but glance at Shen Yunqing again.

"It should be fine!"

After Zilin prepared the insecticidal potion, Shen Yunqing asked each of them to make a bucket, which was the kind of big watering can she took out of the space, and when pressed down, it could spray a large piece of fog.

"At night, when I give a signal, I will let you sprinkle the medicine, and you will run to the field and sprinkle the medicine in the field, you know?"

Everyone hurriedly responded.

And the people in the village, after Shen Yunqing's statement, are obviously also very concerned about locusts.

After arranging for the people to sprinkle the medicine, Shen Yunqing asked the village chief's daughter-in-law and the Lin family to go to the village to collect old mosquito nets, mixed with the new mosquito nets she took out of the space, the old and the new were mixed.

Lin had already made it clear to the women to sew the mosquito nets into a big net.

Before evening arrived, the large nets sewn from mosquito nets were ready.

Shen Yunqing took the group to the ridge.

When the people in the village heard that Shen Yunqing was going to hunt and kill locusts, they ran out to see the excitement.

Zilin, Uncle Gan and others were responsible for spreading the mosquito nets.

The mosquito net is huge, about 50 meters by 50 meters.

Shen Yunqing asked Hu Ran to take his soldiers to disperse their positions, pull the lower end of the mosquito net, and then arranged for Nangong Qiao to carry a spraying can on his back.

"When the locusts come, you'll fly up with them on your back and sprinkle them down, understand?"

Nangong Qiao tried to press the spraying can, and suddenly spilled an umbrella-shaped potion from the spout.

He easily carried a large bucket of potions on his back, no one here would do light work except him, did he want to sprinkle so much alone?

Shen Yunqing saw his doubts and explained, "You are just a scarecrow, the purpose is to drive those locusts into the mosquito net, and Zilin is responsible for spraying them on the ground. ”

I don't know why, Nangong Qiao was very uncomfortable when he heard Shen Yunqing compare him to a scarecrow, and even more uncomfortable when he heard Shen Yunqing shouting Zilin.

After listening, he said in a muffled voice, "Got it." ”

Everything is ready to go.

After waiting for about an hour, it was already sunset on the horizon, and someone on the ridge suddenly exclaimed:

"Come on...... Here it is, here come the locusts! ”

Shen Yunqing looked up, his eyes were sharp, and he said in a deep voice: "Everyone, prepare!" ”

Hearing this, everyone hurriedly held their breath.

Shen Yun looked at the black clouds that were getting bigger and bigger from the sunset in the sky, accompanied by a "buzzing" harsh sound.

The black cloud started as a black dot, then as big as a plate, and now it is a big black cloud.

Getting closer......

Shen Yun counted the distance, and when she estimated that there were still ten meters left, she immediately spoke up decisively.

"Do it!"

At the sound of the order, everyone who had already stood in their positions became busy.

Hu Ran took the soldiers, pulled a few corners of the mosquito net, and ran in several directions.

Uncle Gan, Zilin, and a few other villagers carried spraying cans on their backs and went under the mosquito net, waiting for Nangong Qiao to lure the locusts into the mosquito net.

Nangong Qiao flew into the air alone, went around the back of the locust, and sprayed medicine on the locust.

In this way, the locusts half flew over, half were driven away by Nangong Qiao, and all rushed towards the rice fields below where mosquito nets were spread.

And the villagers below can't wait.

Seeing Shen Yunqing's gesture falling, they sprayed medicine into the mosquito net.

At the same time, Hu Ran, who was pulling the mosquito net, took the lead and slowly shrunk the mosquito net.

Because the mosquito nets were too large and occupied several fields, Hu Ran and the others had to run in the ridges.

Seeing this, the villagers standing on the side couldn't help but hold their breath and stare at this side motionlessly.

"Be careful, don't step on the crops." Shen Yunqing reminded on the side, looked up again, and saw that Nangong Qiao had basically chased all the locusts over.

Only then did he speak: "You can take it, the locusts have already entered the net." ”

Listening to her order, everyone fully cooperated, and not long after, a large bag of locusts landed on the ridge.

Hu Ran used the hemp rope prepared in advance to quickly tie the mouth of the mosquito net tightly.

And Zilin on the side obviously did this kind of thing for the first time, and sprayed the locusts in the net pocket vigorously, and the whole pot of potion was sprayed to the bottom.

Shen Yunqing smiled and stopped: "Brother Zilin, enough, the locusts can't fly out." ”

"Huh? Oh, I, I, I'm so nervous. ”

Nangong Qiao stopped beside Shen Yunqing and threw the watering can on his body to Zilin: "You want to spray it so much, I will also spray this pot for you?" ”
