Chapter 47: Strange things happen every year, but this year there are more
At this time, someone came running over in a panic to report the news.
"Oh no! I heard that Niujiawan and Jingwan Village were both hit by a locust plague!"
Jingwan Village is right next to Heihe Village. Doesn’t that mean Heihe Village is also in danger?
“Burn the incense quickly!”
“Pray quickly!”
"Get the gongs and drums ready!"
At the command of the village head, women, the elderly and children burned incense or knelt down to worship.
The men took gongs, drums, and clothes, ready to drive away the demons.
"Buzz buzz buzz..."
There is a sound coming from far away...
What sound?
So dense and so creepy!
"It's locusts!"
"From the sound of it, there are quite a few!"
In just a few breaths, a black cloud floated from the direction of Jingwan Village and moved quickly towards Heihe Village!
"Oh my God!"
"Lord Locust God, please spare my life!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
“Boom boom boom!”
The sound of gongs and drums was deafening, and the hammers were almost smoking, but the locusts showed no intention of changing their route.
Like a dark cloud, it was coming towards the fields.
The villagers looked ashen and full of despair.
With so many locusts passing through, I'm afraid even the bark of the trees will be eaten away.
The strong and full ears of rice in front of me are just a dream.
At that moment, they understood that burning incense and kneeling down was useless, and showing weakness and praying was useless.
They already respected the Locust God so sincerely, but the Locust God was still unwilling to give them a way to live.
Are you feeling wronged?
Wronged.
Are you feeling frustrated?
It's so frustrating.
Along the way, they struggled and struggled to survive, living a life worse than pigs and dogs.
You have to pass each level one by one, but each level is more difficult and you never know what will be at the end of the road.
Just like now, the harvest is about to begin, but a heavy blow hits us!
Anger and powerlessness filled everyone's nerves.
Why? Even ants on the ground should have a way to survive, right?
"Damn it! Even bugs are bullying us! Damn those locust gods! We're going to die anyway! Let's fight them!"
The village head kicked over the incense table, his eyebrows raised, "Listen to Yan Ping's father, burn it with fire! Use smoke! If we don't let us survive, they won't be able to survive either!"
"Okay! Let's fight them!"
"I will protect the rice even if I die!"
Everyone agreed.
But they had not made any such preparations at all, and for a moment, everything was in chaos.
Dense swarms of locusts appeared before our eyes in an instant, swooping down into the fields!
"My rice!"
Everyone let out heart-wrenching cries.
“Chuckle!”
“Ga ga ga!”
Suddenly, countless chickens and ducks emerged out of nowhere like a tide!
The villagers rubbed their eyes and asked: Where did the chickens and ducks come from? (⊙o⊙)
I have never seen so many chickens and ducks, at least several thousand.
Chickens and ducks stretched their necks and clucked non-stop: Uh, who am I, where am I, where am I going...
Suddenly, he was attracted by the insects in the sky and pounced on them as if it was destined.
The chickens and ducks move very quickly. They stretch their necks and open their mouths, and the locusts flying low become their delicacies.
The villagers were shocked and clapped their hands with joy. If they had known chickens and ducks were so useful, they would have raised some!
Locusts are very afraid of the large army of chickens and ducks. They fly to places where the chickens and ducks cannot reach them and wait quietly for the opportunity.
The rice ears in Heihe Village are so many and good, how could they bear to give them up?
Chicken and Duck Army: Uh, what's going on? Why don't you eat them anymore?
Turning around, he saw rice everywhere, and his focus immediately shifted.
Go ahead, brothers?
('' )
Without bugs, the rice is just okay!
Villagers:???
No! Why can't you handle praise?
There are locusts above and chickens and ducks below.
Everyone wished they could ascend to heaven right where they were.
"Stupid chicken! Stinky duck!"
The little dumpling standing not far away stomped his feet in anger, opened his right hand, and took the chicken and duck back into the space.
So, the group of chickens and ducks that rushed towards the rice field suddenly disappeared in full view of everyone.
When the locusts in the air saw that their natural enemies were gone, they swooped down immediately.
Come on, it’s time to have a big meal!
As a result, the little dumpling opened his little hand.
“Chuckle!”
“Ga ga ga!”
The disappeared army of chickens and ducks reappeared and swallowed up the first wave of locusts.
Locust: ???
What a trick! No cheating allowed!
Next.
When locusts rise, chickens and ducks disappear;
Locusts descended, chickens and ducks appeared.
…
Locusts are confused...
Chickens and ducks are also confused...
The villagers were even more confused...
Strange things happen every year, but this year there are especially many.
…
After several rounds, a lot of locusts were eliminated.
At this moment, the little dumpling had a serious look on his face, the two small buns on his head were messy, and he stared at the army of locusts and the army of chickens and ducks without blinking, his little hands opening and closing like a general commanding everything.
Looking at the small figure surrounded by the Ye family not far away, the villagers went from being shocked to calm, and finally only an inexplicable warmth was surging in their hearts.
The unexpected water source, the blasted boulder, the inexplicable food, the water and fertilizer that allowed the rice to grow well...
It was never a blessing from God.
It is this little girl who has been silently guarding the entire Heihe Village!
But she never wanted anyone to know what she had done for everyone.
She is not even allowed to call you "little goddess".
The unprecedented great emotion made everyone choke up, and the villagers knelt down silently.
It turns out that God did not give up on them.
God is right beside us.
"Xiaojiu..."
From now on, we will not kneel to heaven or earth, but only to you!
"Now is not the time to be moved!"
The village head shouted.
The locusts experienced too many failures and gradually lost their patience.
They changed their strategy and rushed down recklessly, with a complete rhythm of mutual destruction.
It takes time to catch chickens and ducks, and time to swallow them, but the dense swarms of locusts don't give them any chance to breathe.
The Chicken and Duck Army: Holy crap!!!
Run away!
The desperate one is coming!
Cluck, cluck, cluck, the army threw away its weapons and weapons and was completely defeated.
“Ahhh! It hurts!”
"Locusts bite!"
"Let it bite! Fight it!"
The locusts attacked the villagers like raindrops, and all the anger they had just felt after being defeated by the army of chickens and ducks was taken out on humans.
Ye Yanping was among them. No matter how strong he was, it was useless against such a small insect. He could only scream in pain as he was bitten.
"Husband!"
“Big Brother!”
"A Ping!"
The Ye family rushed forward to help without hesitation. Although they couldn't really help much, they couldn't remain indifferent as they watched their loved ones being bitten.
Ye Buwei stood there in a daze. He was blind and usually relied on hearing to move around. But now the scene was too noisy and he couldn't make out any information that was useful to him.
After a moment of hesitation, a small figure rushed over like an arrow.
"Tsk tsk! Anai!"
"Xiaojiu, you can't go over there! Come back quickly!
Ye Buwei stretched out his hand and ran away quickly, but his hand was empty.
The white and tender little pink ball pounced towards the locust like a moth flying towards a blazing flame.
