Is it finally coming to an end?

Listening to the system's prompt that the final favorability is capped at 5000, Ye Qingtang can finally see some ends.

At least this favorability is not endless, even five thousand is not a small number for Ye Qingtang, but at least there is a goal.

However, Ye Qingtang was not happy too early, but listened attentively to the prompt sound of the system, for fear of missing any system rewards.

[Congratulations on obtaining high-quality rice seeds +10 kg, high-quality cabbage seeds +5 kg, various spice seeds +50 kg, agricultural skill book +1, salt making skill book +1.] 】

There are so many high-quality seeds, which makes Ye Qingtang simply ecstatic. She only took a cursory look at the situation in the field, and then quickly returned home, took out all the seeds, sorted them all, and gave them to the villagers.

The two books given to her by the system are very useful to Ye Qingtang. She spent several days learning the contents, and then took the villagers to plant rice together.

Following the steps in the book, Ye Qingtang successfully made hybrid rice with the villagers.

Seeing that the farmland is increasing day by day, and the lives of the villagers are getting better, Ye Qingtang is naturally happy, and her audience favorability and the villagers' happiness index have also reached the heights of 1100/5000 and 400/1000.

Originally, everyone felt that everyone's life was on the right track and was about to enter a well-off life.

As long as the harvest arrives in autumn, the rice, vegetables and fruits planted by everyone can be sent to the granary, and everyone no longer needs to worry about starving to death without food and clothing during the winter.

But what they didn't expect was that the sky would always be unsatisfactory. I saw that there would be a good harvest in another month, but it was after one day's lunch.

As usual, everyone was chatting and drinking tea under the big tree at the entrance of the village, and suddenly it was dark. Just when everyone thought it was going to rain heavily and planned to go home to collect their clothes.

Suddenly, a man noticed that a locust had landed at his feet. Immediately after, more and more locusts fell to the ground.

But only a few locusts fell to the ground, and many more flew in the direction of ploughing the fields like black clouds crushing the city.

I don't know who reacted first, and shouted for everyone to protect the cultivated field, everyone immediately dropped what they were doing and hurriedly ran to the cultivated field.

Ye Qingtang guessed this when she saw locusts running in the house, she quickly pulled out the long cloth at home, covered everything she planted, and then took a lot of cloth and ran to the field.

The area of the cultivated field is not small, and the ones prepared by Ye Qingtang are not even enough to cover a corner. She could only do her best to protect a little rice, and then directly prepared a lot of torches and distributed them to the people.

"Don't panic, everyone, any mosquito is afraid of fire. If you can drive a little bit and count a little, everyone must stabilize their minds in order to be able to keep the cultivated land! ”

Ye Qingtang said and took the lead in driving away those locusts, but it's a pity that the locust plague can be resolved so easily? The locusts were not afraid of any torches at all, and she began to panic when she saw a large number of imperial cities burned to death.

Sima Changying happened to go home at this time, and when he saw the posture of the sky, he immediately prepared a lot of things to deal with locusts and rushed to the field.

In this way, the villagers worked hard until night, and after seeing that the locusts were all wiped out by them, they sat down on the ground tiredly.

"What should I do? We've been working here all year, and we're seeing that in another month we'll be able to see a harvest that we can hope for, so why is this disaster happening at this time? ”

Uncle Li was desperate, looking at most of the crops that had been destroyed. He only lived on these crops this year, but the crops were destroyed, and he didn't know how to survive in the second half of the year.

"We're already very good, aren't we holding a lot of rice? Even if it's only such a small piece, there is still hope for this day. ”

Ye Qingtang forced a smile, trying to persuade them to look away. But when I saw the miserable situation of plowing the fields in front of me, I couldn't laugh.

Who would have thought that this ploughing field, which was still vibrant in the daytime, would become like this at night. Everyone's hard work was also wasted in this locust plague.

Even if there are a lot of crops left, so what? Everyone's hard work has been ruined, and with the rest of the food, they don't know how many mouthfuls they will be able to share when it is their turn.

Seeing that winter is approaching, this locust plague has undoubtedly pulled them into hell, and I am afraid that they will not be able to live.

On weekdays, they believe most of what Ye Qingtang says, and they all believe it unconditionally. Because they know that the reason why their lives have become better is all because of Ye Qingtang's efforts.

But now, everyone has lost hope of life one by one. No matter what Ye Qingtang said, they probably wouldn't be able to listen to it.

"Although everyone grows vegetables and sells a lot of money, the crops are destroyed in such a large area, even if they have surplus food, they can't calm down."

Seeing this, Sima Changying immediately walked to Ye Qingtang's side and coaxed softly: "Let them calm down first, it's not a way for us to stay here, let's go back first."

"But ......"

[The most feared thing in this world is natural and man-made disasters, and no one can predict and avoid locusts. They've saved a lot of crops, and it's really amazing. 】

[What was about to be harvested suddenly came to naught. For them, it will take a long time to adapt, and Ye Qingtang can't change anything. 】

[But sometimes, even if everyone knows that nothing can be solved, they still can't be reconciled, right? 】

Ye Qingtang still wanted to say something, she was unwilling to let this matter go on like this. But natural disasters are not man-made disasters, and Ye Qingtang does not have such a great ability to fight against natural disasters.

Seeing this, Sima Changying directly hugged her. didn't wait for Ye Qingtang to agree, and forcefully took the person back to the house to rest.

In the early morning of the next day, Ye Qingtang rarely got up early in the morning. After washing, he didn't even have time to eat, so he hurried back to the farmland.

The field was still in a mess as it was yesterday, except for the rice that they were protecting to the death, which was still wrapped in cloth.

Others looked lifeless, sweeping up the remaining locusts and corpses in the fields.

Looking at the scorched locusts, Ye Qingtang suddenly thought of something and began to pull the other villagers to collect the locusts.

Ye Qingtang looked interested, and the others just did what she said mechanically, and after a while, they collected all the locusts in the field in the cloth bag.
