Chapter 122 Just ignited like this?

Shi Yi's eyelids twitched, his voice suddenly rose, and he protected He Chaoci and Chi Ying as they evacuated to the nearest room.

It was not just Chi Ying and his party who saw the locusts.

People around also saw it.

There was no time to think too much. In an instant, everyone rushed home.

But there were too many people at once, and many people were crowded together, unable to move forward at all.

Everyone covered their mouths and noses tightly.

"Everyone, don't crowd into the same position, try to spread out as much as possible!"

Chi Ying only glanced at the situation outside, then frowned involuntarily and reminded aloud.

If they continue to run around like this without any structure, the poison emitted by the locusts will slowly enter their lungs.

At this moment, everyone was heading in one direction.

Amidst the shouts of several people, He Chaoci, Chi Ying and his party had already entered the nearest room.

"Hiding in the house like now is not an option." He Chaoci's brows never relaxed.

Suddenly, Chi Ying's eyes lit up. She turned around and looked at He Chaoci suddenly, "We can gather everyone together, pile them up with wooden poles or straw poles, and then light them on fire, and a big fire will appear. Thick fog, this thick fog is also what locusts are afraid of."

He Chaoci pondered for a moment, and without much hesitation, he felt that this method was feasible.

After the locusts flew farther, a few people went out.

As soon as they came out, other residents quickly poked their heads out. Seeing that the danger in the sky had disappeared, they walked out quickly and boldly.

He Chaoci raised his hand and waved, and the people around him quickly moved closer to him.

He Chaoci narrowed his eyes slightly, turned around, and landed on a certain location.

Then he quickly stepped forward and stood up. He shook his sleeves to the side, cleared his throat, looked at the crowd and said calmly: "Listen to me, everyone, we can put all the straw straws together." Pile them all together, which can effectively eliminate some locusts."

He paused and then said: "I know you originally wanted to keep the straw straws for the winter, but now the situation is urgent, if the locusts are allowed to cause such unscrupulous destruction. If it goes on, all the crops will be harvested, and there will be no food. You should also know the importance of this. As for the rest, I won't say more to you."

After finishing his words, he looked slowly. Slowly sweeping through the people below.

The crowd immediately exploded. Everyone knew that common people like them were not from wealthy families.

These straw straws are their treasure. In winter, they are reluctant to spend money to buy those charcoal fires, so they can only save these straw straws so that they can spend the winter without any worries.

You only need to take a small amount every day to survive.

But now someone actually wants them to take out their winter things to keep out the cold, so how can they agree?

But if you don't take it out, you won't be able to survive the current predicament, let alone the future.

For a moment, everyone looked very complicated.

This is what most people think in their hearts.

"I agree, it's business to solve the current difficulties first. As for the future, we'll talk about it later. I believe there will always be a way."

Finally, someone in the crowd jumped out, raised his hands high, and spoke loudly.

His voice amplified enough to reach the ears of everyone present.

After the man finished speaking, he ran straight back home and took out some of the straw straws he had saved, while more were still in the field.

With the first person, a second person quickly followed, then a third, a fourth...

until more people joined.

Seeing how cooperative everyone was, He Chaoci couldn't help but smile slowly.

The next moment, He Chaoci said in a deep voice: "For the sake of everyone's safety, every household with straw straws only needs to send one person to follow them to the fields to gather them together. As for the others, they can stay at home with peace of mind. Okay."

As soon as these words came out, everyone raised their hands spontaneously.

Then the group of people quickly walked towards the field. Within a moment, everyone quickly arrived at the edge of the field.

In addition to He Chaoci and Chi Ying, there were dozens of people around them at a glance.

Chi Ying only glanced at it and quickly looked away.

He Chaoci frowned slightly and turned to look at Shi Yi, who was still beside him, "Where's the thing that can make fire?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Yi took out a fire stick from his sleeve, opened the lid and blew it. For a moment.

But found that there were no sparks at all.

Shi Yi's pupils widened suddenly, and he took out another fire stick in disbelief.

I blew it closer in the same way, but there was still no spark.

The only two fire sticks he had on him were broken, and they were in this condition.

Shi Yi couldn't help but clicked his tongue.

He quickly put the things away and turned to look at He Chaoci with a troubled look on his face, "Your Majesty, the two fire sticks on my subordinate's body are broken. It is not easy to find anything that can make fire.

" People know in their hearts that it would be fine if it were normal times, but it happened to be the time when locusts were flooding.

The surrounding flint stones had probably been picked up by someone a long time ago.

He Chaoci opened his lips slightly, and was about to say something, but Chi Ying interrupted him in the next moment, "Do you need fire? Leave it to me."

She stepped forward and took the lighter she had prepared . He came out, walked to a pile of straw straws that had been piled up, squatted down, and found a place.

I didn't see how she operated, and the next moment, the pile of straw straws quickly ignited.

At this moment, a swarm of locusts was coming towards them in the sky not far from them.

Immediately afterwards, Chi Ying repeated the same action in front of other straw poles.

Soon, all the straw piles ignited quickly, and in an instant, the thick fog dispersed in the air.

"Did you just see that girl lighting up the straw with nothing in her hand?"

"Yes, yes, I saw it too. I saw that he only stretched out his hand and didn't The straw poles ignited at every move. What method did she use to avoid seeing the firestone or anything else?"

Everyone's eyes fell on Chi Ying's hands in the crowd.

Some people who don't have good eyesight even take a step forward and poke their heads to get a closer look.

You know, fire-making stones are not that easy to get.

The fire breakers are originally meant to be more convenient. Outside, if the fire breakers are broken, they will be completely useless.

Whether it is a fire break or a fire stone, it takes a certain amount of time to react.
