They discovered that the locusts seemed to slow down when they reached Zhangjiapo, with only a few locusts flying to Dingjiapo.
Some villagers took the torches and headed towards their fields.
They discovered that the torches were completely useless.
As soon as the locusts jumped onto the crops, they took a bite, then froze, fell to the ground, thrashed a few times, and then remained motionless.
"Pesticides really work!"
"Great! The crops are saved!"
More and more locusts fell to the ground, and joyful smiles appeared on people's faces.
The crops were saved!
The villagers of Dingjia Village all heard from the village chief that Zhang Fan helped them obtain pesticides and drones.
This made everyone even more grateful to Zhang Fan.
If it weren't for Zhang Fan, my family would have run out of food.
Ding Sheng: "Zhang Fan, why don't you stay for dinner today?"
Zhang Fan glanced at the almost dried-up rice paddies and shook his head: "My sister-in-law is still waiting for me at home, I'll go back first."
Zhang Fan packed up the drone, said goodbye, and left.
As he left, many people in the village secretly sized him up.
The young girl, filled with the first stirrings of love, looked at Zhang Fan with a shy expression and thought how wonderful it would be to marry him.
Families with daughters also secretly eyed Zhang Fan, thinking about marrying their daughters to him.
After Zhang Fan left, everyone gathered around Ding Sheng.
"Village chief, is this Zhang Fan the same Zhang Fan who's a fool?"
"The one who got into university but then suffered a brain injury?"
"That's right. I heard that this child has been smart since he was a child. If it weren't for his brain injury, he would definitely be living in the city in the future."
Ding Sheng was so squeezed he almost couldn't breathe: "He really is an idiot, Zhang Fan."
"I can't tell. I think he looks very smart. I wonder how smart he must have been before he became mentally challenged."
"He's obviously not an ordinary person. I wish he could be my son-in-law."
What's so good about having a fool as a son-in-law?
"What do you know? My family isn't good at studying. Zhang Fan is smart, so his kids are bound to be smart too."
"Yes, I need to tell my niece."
"Hey, I was the one who suggested it first, don't try to take it from me."
"Marriage isn't a business transaction; it depends on whether the other person is willing or not."
Ding Sheng poured cold water on the idea, saying, "They might not be willing."
Looking at the parched rice paddies, Zhang Fan did some quick calculations and realized that the drought would end soon.
With a deafening roar, a bolt of thunder struck the clear sky and landed on the steep southern slope.
Zhang Fan looked towards the spot where the lightning struck. A wisp of smoke rose and then dissipated; it did not ignite.
It's really unusual that there was thunder but no rain.
