Before Yang Zhijin could find out who the girl was, the uncle quickly walked away carrying the rice.

"Hey, uncle, who is this girl?"

The uncle walked away without hearing these words at all. Yang Zhijin was destined not to get an answer from the uncle.

However, with Yang Zhijin's intelligence, he could think clearly without any hesitation.

Looking at the villagers of Zhoujia Village, they put the rice back home and ran to get bowls of herbal tea to drink.

Yang Zhijin quickened his pace to Xinghua Village. He had a feeling that as long as he found his father Mengyue, the affected area of ​​the locust plague would most likely not be so large, and the people would not fall into despair.

Xinghua Village.

As soon as Yang Zhijin entered the village, he found something wrong; it was too quiet.

It’s not that there is no sound, it’s just that no one is out and about, so naturally no one is talking.

You can only see a few locusts flying. A duck passing by slowly walks by, stretches out its beak to pick up the locusts flying in front of it, and the locusts go into the duck's stomach.

When he came from Zhoujia Village, the village chief asked everyone to drink the herbal tea and go back to sleep.

This means that the villagers of Xinghua Village are also resting at home, and will get up to catch locusts after they have recovered their strength.

“Huh!”

Suddenly Yang Zhijin looked at the fields in the distance.

"Is there still rice left to harvest?"

His purpose of coming to Xinghua Village was to find Mengyue, and since he didn't find anyone else, he was unwilling to leave.

It was a strange thing that before he even left the rice fields where they were harvesting rice, he ran into Mengyue who was walking towards him.

"Miss."

Just as Mengyue was thinking about what to do with the locusts she had collected, someone stopped her.

"County Magistrate Yang, what's up?"

Yang Zhijin came to Xinghua Village to find a solution to the locust plague, so she didn't ask directly.

"Miss, how are you going to deal with the locust plague?"

"Yang County Magistrate, what nonsense are you talking about in broad daylight? You are a county magistrate, and you are asking me, a small peasant girl, what's wrong with your brain?"

Yang Zhijin could hear the irony in Mengyue's words, but for the sake of the people in the county, he had no choice but to take the risk.

"Miss, let's be frank. You went to the county government office to tell me about the locust plague. It wasn't just a whim. You wanted me to cooperate with you, right?"

Mengyue looked at Yang Zhijin steadily, not expecting that his brain could still be used.

Since she went to the county government office yesterday, she has been waiting for Yang Zhijin to come.

I didn't expect that the wait would last a whole day and a night.

Fortunately, the locust army was still on the way and it would take time for them to reach Wuning County. Otherwise, with Yang Zhijin's speed, by the time he could react, the opportunity would have been lost.

"County Magistrate Yang, what do you mean?"

Yang Zhijin understood Mengyue's subconscious intention, which was to ask him to express his opinion on whether he wanted to cooperate.

"Miss, as long as it can stop the locust plague, Yang will obey your orders."

After Yang Zhijin said this, he felt that Mengyue might not be able to eliminate the locust plague.

But he knew in his heart that if he followed his way and a large-scale locust plague broke out, the end result would not be what he wanted to see.

Since he has no ability, why not ask someone for help.

As long as it can help the people reduce their losses, he is willing to listen to Miss Gui temporarily.

After all, two months ago, Miss Xiao had anticipated the locust plague and taken corresponding measures, raising tens of thousands of ducks.

Mengyue looked at the sky and knew that the situation was urgent. She needed to gather the strength of everyone in the county to fight against the oncoming locust army.

"County Magistrate Yang, have the grain harvests in other villages and towns been completed?"
