Chapter 790: The Foolish Group Has Good Luck

Yan Shirong had been preparing for a long time. He used pills to fumigate locusts, and then intercepted them layer by layer in the east to prevent the locusts from flying towards the capital.

Then we slowly use fumigation medicine all around to drive the locusts to the middle and minimize the damage.

After all, because of the three years of severe drought, the crops in the fields here have been growing very poorly. Even if they are devoured by locusts, the losses will not be too great. It would be a success if the locust plague could be eliminated in the smallest possible area.

At the same time, as soon as the news arrived, Yan Qingshan and his party began to travel day and night, eating all three meals in the carriage.

Because there are many more ways to attract birds nowadays, Yan Qingshan also found Xiang Xiaodong, wanting him to allocate half of his men to bring the vines and special bird food in the space to lure the birds over first.

The little phoenix also came out of the space, but it didn't use it for a while.

But Xiang Xiaodong refused without hesitation. He said, "Your Highness, when I left the capital, the Emperor repeatedly warned me that no matter what happened, no matter what your Highness or the little prince said, I and the Dragon Guards must protect the little prince closely and must not leave or slack off."

This was the first time that Yan Qingshan experienced the style of this close minister who was very popular with the emperor.

He didn't explain, saying that he thought the little prince was also very important... and so on, he just simply and rudely stated his position.

Yan Qingshan couldn't help but smile, and then said in a deep voice: "Okay, then your people will protect us as well. If there is an emergency, you will protect Xinbao first."

Xiang Xiaodong agreed.

Yan Qingshan called Fang Baiju and asked him to take all the remaining Tiger Guards and lead the bird away.

Fang Baiju's idea was much simpler. I followed the prince out, and the emperor didn't say anything, so I did whatever the prince asked me to do. As for who would protect the prince after I left? That was not my business.

So they went, and most of the birds followed.

After a busy July, there was a severe locust plague in Guanzhong. However, it was much better than all the previous locust plagues that covered the sky.

On July 19th, the prince and his entourage finally arrived.

At this moment, the locust plague situation is still under control and has not continued to move eastward. After the birds joined in, the battle became even more exciting. Every time I looked down from a high place, the situation was spectacular.

What is this called? When a bird flies into the feeding trough, you don't even need to chase it. It just tilts its head to the left and takes a bite, then to the right and takes a bite. They are all meat dishes, and it's so satisfying to watch the bird.

And not only birds eat it, people eat it too.

They are everywhere. Just skewer them, roast them over the fire, sprinkle some salt, cumin and chili powder on them, and you can eat them as a dish. Every day, I have a bowl of soup, a steamed bun and a few strings of locusts... It's a pretty comfortable life, and it doesn't feel like I'm surviving a disaster at all.

Yan Qingshan came over and felt relieved after listening to the report from his subordinates.

At this moment, Fang Baiju's men had already prepared the granary, and Xinbao unloaded all the ripe grains in the space, regardless of the variety.

The prepared granaries were not enough, so several granaries were temporarily dispatched. As for chickens, ducks, and geese... even if locusts are not eaten, they are meat and vegetables, so they are still needed.

Because there are too many, Xinbao plans to remove them one by one.

The yard was ready downstairs, Xinbao stood there and raised her hand, and in an instant, Yuan Shenjue couldn't find where she was...

So does Xinbao.

She just felt her feet go empty and her head feel pressured. She felt like she was sitting on a meat boat, with geese nudging her from all directions. In a blink of an eye, she was submerged in a sea of ​​geese. One geese after another formed a wall of geese. No matter where she looked, she could not see anyone.

Xinbao screamed in fear: "Wife!"

Even the sound is muffled.

Yuan Shenjue's face changed.

Originally, they were standing only three or four feet apart, but after the rush, I had no idea where she went. I could only hear her panicked screams: "Wife!! Help...Ahhh!! Wife!"

Yuan Shenjue quickly pulled the big goose to find her.

As everyone knows, geese are the kings of the countryside and are more ferocious than dogs. As soon as he pushed, the goose lowered its neck, flapped its wings and rushed over, grabbing his clothes and unable to pull them free.

Yuan Shenjue simply asked these big geese to look for it.

Hao Huashi also became anxious and started looking for him, saying, "Master! Master!!"

He did not listen to Xinbao's response.

Besides, there were too many geese, all of them were sticking their necks out and screaming, and they were all constantly moving, so I couldn't hear where Xinbao was at all.

Yuan Shenjue was so anxious that sweat appeared on his forehead. He whistled a few times, calling the shadow guards. At the same time, he used ruthless force to cut off the clothes that were caught by the goose with a few consecutive palms. He jumped up, jumped back and forth quickly on the goose's back, kicking the geese one by one and clearing them out.

The shadow guards also rushed in and surrounded them.

Hao Huashi jumped onto the wall and spun around like flying...

These geese were much bigger than the ones outside, and they were extremely ferocious. Once they bit something, they would not let go. Several people's clothes, arms and hands were all covered with goose beaks. Finally, they cleared the mountain of geese in the middle.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Then Hao Huashi finally saw a piece of clothing: "Master is there!!"

Before he finished speaking, Yuan Shenjue had already slapped a goose away with one hand, and then he saw the ball in the middle sticking out its little butt, with its two little arms bent, hiding its hands and face, and walking forward with its head down, not daring to make a sound, disguising itself as a goose...

Yuan Shenjue: “…”

Hao Huashi: “…”

Whether they believed it or not, the goose believed it anyway and actually didn't bite her.

I really don’t know what to say.

They quickly carried her out for a check-up and found that everyone's arms and legs had been pecked by the geese, leaving red spots all over their bodies, and their clothes were also torn into pieces. Only Tuanzi was lucky enough to admit her mistake decisively, so apart from a few spots of goose droppings on her body, she was not hurt at all.

Madam Lin was packing her things because she was about to go back to the capital with Tuanzi, so she didn't see this scene with her own eyes. After hearing what Yuan Shenjue said, she rolled up his sleeves and took a look, shaking her head repeatedly: "Why are there so many injuries? You and Hua Shi take turns rubbing them."

Tuanzi pulled his wife's arm back distressedly, held it with both hands, touched it, and cried out: "I'm sorry, honey, it's all Xinbao's fault. Because the geese were too big, Xinbao wanted them to come out quickly. Xinbao thought they would fly away by themselves, but he didn't expect them to huddle together."

"It's okay," Yuan Shenjue smiled and rolled up his sleeves, "It doesn't hurt, it just scared me."

He was still frightened and couldn't help but tell Madam Lin again: "I was really scared at that time, because I was very close to Xinbao, only a few steps away, but in the blink of an eye, there was a mountain of geese over there. I was afraid that the geese would crush Xinbao, and I was scared to death."

Hao Huashi was also scolded several times, but he didn't care. He changed his clothes and went out to watch the fun. He came back quickly to report: "Master! Go and see, the geese have run away! They jumped over the wall and ran away!"

Mrs. Lin couldn't help but become curious and went out to watch the fun.

Xinbao was very scared, but also wanted to see what was happening. Yuan Shenjue carried her over and found a rooftop far away and watched from afar.

From a distance, one could see geese flying and jumping over there. The geese flapped their wings and jumped over the wall so smoothly that the Tiger Guards couldn't catch them. The scene was extremely funny. Madam Lin was standing on the wall, laughing so hard that she was staggering and almost falling off.

Xinbao looked over there, grinned, and silently contributed a piece of trivia: "Wife, do you know why geese are so fierce?"

Yuan Shenjue asked: "Why?"

"Because geese see everything in a smaller size, so we humans are very small in their eyes, and they are not afraid at all."

Yuan Shenjue was very surprised: "So that's how it is."
