Prince Fusu is studying a quarrying machine, which is more difficult to operate than a tillage machine. He had only tried to operate it before, and this is his first time to actually operate it.

"Fusu, it's okay, just do as I say..." Li Rongrong kept comforting Fusu through the mirror.

The machines she sent over are all automatic and very easy to operate.

Fortunately, Fusu was quick to understand and listened carefully to her instructions. He was soon able to operate the quarrying machine.

It was another three-day deadline, and these three days passed in a flash, when the last ray of sunset fell on the river bank.

Xiang Yu stood in front of his pile of stones, looking at the huge stones that he had moved here with his own hands.

These days, he has been carrying stones here non-stop, but I haven't seen the other party carry any once. I guess he must have given up.

Time passed minute by minute, and the agreed time was about to arrive, but there was no sign of anyone coming.

"Hahaha, maybe the other party has already admitted defeat and ran away!" Xiang Yu laughed a few times, and the depression he had felt from moving stones today was swept away.

Just then, a roar was heard, and a huge blue object in the distance was getting closer with the sound.

...

...

"What is that!"

Xiang Yu stood still, having already figured out where to retreat and how he would fight back and kill the huge monster.

When the giant object came closer, he could see clearly that the weak scholar was sitting on it.

Prince Fusu drove the tractor and dumped the stones all at once.

Xiang Yu looked at what he saw in front of him in shock, and he strongly suspected that he had not woken up, otherwise how could he see such an incredible thing.

Prince Fusu was standing in front of the pile of stones. The size of the single stone behind him was not as large as the boulder that Xiang Yu was moving, but the number of them was far beyond Xiang Yu's expectations.

The stones were piled together in an orderly manner, forming a hill-like existence.

"Brave man, Fusu is late." Prince Fusu apologized humbly, as if he was really upset about being late.

Xiang Yu was stunned. Only then did he realize that the person in front of him was actually Prince Fusu, who had been in the limelight recently.

"you!"

Xiang Yu was about to say something, but suddenly remembered that he was now a wanted criminal. He stuttered for a long time but still couldn't say anything.

He looked at Prince Fusu, his eyes full of unwillingness, and gnashed his teeth and said, "You win."

"In that case, you owe me a condition." Prince Fusu did not say much and pretended not to know Xiang Yu's identity.

Xiang Yu knew this but he could only suffer in silence.

The Qin people were indeed as cunning as my uncle had said.

The two were talking in the field when suddenly the sky grew dark.

An ominous atmosphere quietly enveloped the green fields.

At first, there were only a few locusts circling in the air, like a few dead leaves falling from the sky.

But soon, these small black dots began to gather rapidly, forming a dark cloud-like swarm of insects. They densely covered the sky, like a black storm, and quickly swept across the entire field.

Prince Fusu and Xiang Yu were both shocked by the sudden change.

"Look! What is that?" A sharp-eyed commoner suddenly stopped what he was doing and exclaimed, pointing at a rice field not far away.

Everyone looked up and saw a black swarm of insects flying towards them. Fear quickly spread in their hearts, and they looked at each other, at a loss.

"It's locusts! They're coming!" a trembling voice shouted.

"What should we do? The seedlings we just grew are going to be eaten up by them!" another Guizhou man said anxiously.

The crops of those who had planted early in the spring a few days ago have already sprouted and grown a lot taller.

Those tender shoots quickly disappeared under the ravages of locusts, and the originally green fields became a mess.

The air was filled with a pungent stench of decay, the smell of rice seedlings rotting under the scorching sun after being eaten by locusts.

"We can't just sit there and wait for death!" A burly man stood up, his voice firm and powerful, "Everyone, pick up the tools, let's drive away these pests together!"

"Master Fusu said that we can disperse them with fire!"

Upon hearing this, everyone followed what the government had said before and used local materials to make torches, using flames to drive away the locusts.

Wherever the torches went, countless locusts were burned and fell. However, the efforts of the common people seemed so insignificant.

There were so many locusts that they seemed endless. Every time they waved their swords, it was like waving a leaf in the wind. They could not stop the locusts from swarming.

"There are... there are too many of them! We can't drive them away at all!" a commoner shouted in despair.

Seeing that the newly planted seedlings were about to be eaten up, a depressing and heavy atmosphere filled the whole field, as if even the air had become heavy and difficult to breathe.

"What should we do? The locusts are coming towards us." A woman holding her child, her eyes full of helplessness and fear.

"Run! The locusts are flying towards us!"

"Don't come over here..."

For a moment, the people of Qian became chaotic again.

"No!" An elderly man stood up. His voice was weak but full of determination. "The immortal will definitely help us!"

Just as they were in despair, a loud noise came from afar, breaking the silence of the field. Everyone looked up.

Prince Fusu held a bunch of fireworks in his hand and kept dispersing the locusts. The strong man following him also kept waving torches. There were already quite a few locust corpses lying on the ground.

"Don't panic! Hide first, the government will come with pesticides soon." Seeing the locusts rolling in from a distance, Prince Fusu's voice was firm and powerful, like a warm current flowing into the hearts of the people, making them calm down instantly.

They gathered around, and the old, weak, women and children hid in the houses. Others followed Prince Fusu and used fire and smoke to drive them away.

Bonfires were lit in the fields, and thick smoke rose up. The flames shot up into the sky, and the smoke filled the air. Zhang Han discovered something was wrong when the locusts were sweeping over him, and he had already sent many people with pesticide spray guns and flamethrowers to drive away the locusts.

Just as Zhang Han was looking outside worriedly, Xiao Shitou came running towards him in a panic, "Oh no, the young master is trapped in the ground."

"What did you say?"

Now Zhang Han could no longer sit still. When locusts get angry, they will eat anything. If anything happened to Prince Fusu, none of them would be able to take the responsibility.

"Come here, take the remaining pesticides and follow me to the fields."

......

At this time, Prince Fusu, Xiang Yu and others were hiding in a relatively sturdy stone house, as the other thatched houses had long been eaten up by the anxious locusts.

All they can do now is wait, wait for the locusts to pass through and wait for the government to arrive.
