Chapter 252 Big Order
The old man's words reminded Meng Qingyin.
Just now, the pheasant said that it loves to eat insects. Perhaps the natural enemy of these black-winged beetles is the chicken?
I'm an unlucky person: "Chickens, ducks, geese? Maybe it really works!"
I'm a lucky guy (poor guy version): "Chickens are an option, but geese are out of the question, I have a phobia of them. But if I were to keep chickens in my car, wouldn't they poop everywhere?"
Drowning his sorrows in strong liquor: "Do you really expect chickens to go to the toilet by themselves? By the way, isn't your lucky charm a golden crow? Golden crows are birds too, don't they eat black-winged beetles?"
I am the lucky one (poor man's version): "It? It's very picky, it eats better than me, it doesn't eat insects."
I'm an unlucky person: "Didn't we go to Aunt Wang's chicken farm to collect eggs last time? I saw that her chicken farm was quite big. I wonder if she sells live chickens."
Mengmeng: "I'll go ask about it tomorrow."
Drowning his sorrows in strong liquor: "I'm not going to talk about it anymore. I'm going to kill some bugs; they've multiplied again."
Meng Qingyin didn't dare to sleep, so she stayed awake until dawn. If she got too sleepy, she would open the chat area to check other players' messages.
Because of the sudden appearance of the black-winged beetles, players were unable to sleep peacefully, and the chat area was filled with discussions about these blood-sucking worms that reproduced at an extremely fast rate.
Of course, some people have mentioned using biological control methods, but unfortunately, no one can find wild chickens or ducks, so they can only repeatedly swat at the black-winged beetles.
The most annoying thing about these little bugs is that they suck blood. If you leave them alone and let them reproduce on their own, given their terrifying reproduction rate, you'll be sucked dry by the next morning.
Therefore, the players dared not sleep and could only endure the pain.
Strangely enough, the black-winged beetles suddenly disappeared the moment dawn broke.
Players who had barely slept all night were finally able to relax for a moment. They didn't care about the planting pot task anymore and went straight to sleep. Judging from the situation, there would definitely be more black-winged beetles attacking tonight. If they didn't get enough rest, how could they have the energy to fight them all night?
In just one night, the players were exhausted and demoralized by the black-winged beetles.
After quickly finishing her breakfast, Meng Qingyin teleported to Li the blacksmith's house. She knew the location of Aunt Wang's chicken farm and didn't need Li the blacksmith to lead the way.
But since we've already come to our master's courtyard, we should at least say hello.
Normally at this time, Master would either be eating or forging weapons.
But today, the courtyard is quiet.
Meng Qingyin asked, somewhat puzzled, "Master? Are you home?"
There was still no movement in the courtyard.
Meng Qingyin pushed open the door and entered the room, but there was no one inside.
She became increasingly puzzled. Where had her master gone so early in the morning?
Just as I was about to send a message to inquire, there was a noise at the door.
Li the blacksmith returned, yawning, carrying two chickens in his hands.
Upon seeing Meng Qingyin, he waved and said, "Little Meng, you've come at the right time. I went to Aunt Wang's house and bought two chickens. Take one back with you!"
Meng Qingyin asked in surprise, "Master, how did you know I also wanted to buy chickens?"
Li the blacksmith put the chicken on the ground, and the chicken flapped its wings and flew to the side.
He clapped his hands and said, “Last night a swarm of black-winged beetles suddenly appeared. These things reproduce quickly and suck human blood. I barely slept all night, just killing these nasty bugs. You must have encountered them too. Chickens eat bugs. I went to Aunt Wang's house early this morning, and now her doorstep is almost worn down by people buying chickens. She's grateful that I forged a batch of farm tools for her last time, so she gave me two chickens first.”
Meng Qingyin was stunned. Did this black-winged insect also implicate her master and the others?
However, judging from what Master said, Aunt Wang's chickens definitely won't be considered for the top spot.
Meng Qingyin thanked Li the blacksmith and left with the chicken. Still not giving up, she went to the chicken farm for another look, which was packed with people.
Meng Qingyin found Aunt Wang, who was surrounded by a crowd, and after much effort, she managed to squeeze in and asked if she could sell her a few chickens.
Aunt Wang chimed in when she had a spare moment, "There are just too many people wanting to buy chickens from the chicken farm right now, I'm really overwhelmed. If you have time, you can go and catch some yourself."
Meng Qingyin was overjoyed; catching it herself wasn't out of the question!
There are many people at the chicken farm, but she refuses to believe she can't outcompete them!
Meng Qingyin called over Zaizai and Xue Tongzi, and they sharpened their knives, ready to pounce on... the chickens.
However, she clearly underestimated the fighting power of the masses. They were used to farm work and were all experts at catching chickens.
While Meng Qingyin was still searching for her target, they had already rolled up their sleeves and pounced forward to grab the chicken.
Meng Qingyin finally found her target, but someone else beat her to it and caught the chicken first.
Meng Qingyin could only shift her focus, but when she had a new target, it was snatched away by a pair of hardworking hands.
Meng Qingyin: "..."
She could only turn her hopeful gaze to Zaizai and Daxue. As for Erxue and Sanxue, they were just there to make up the numbers, and Meng Qingyin didn't count on them.
The little one was afraid of hurting someone, so he was a bit hesitant.
Heavy snow is good at controlling water and snow, but it's clearly not good at catching chickens.
They found nothing.
Meng Qingyin was exasperated. Why was this chicken so hard to catch?
If all else fails, let Chen Leying and the others catch them themselves?
Hmm, that's a good idea!
Mengmeng: "Come to the chicken farm and catch the chickens right away!"
The group chat was filled with "Received".
In a short while, Chen Leying and the others arrived. It has to be said that having the caravan jade token is very convenient, saving a lot of teleportation cards.
Lu Cheng was dumbfounded when he saw the huge crowd at the chicken farm: "Is today some kind of chicken-eating day? Why are so many people catching chickens?"
Meng Qingyin explained, "The black-winged beetles have also affected the lives of the NPCs, so they came to buy chickens early this morning. I was busy for a while, but I didn't catch a single chicken, so I called you here."
Qin Jiu rolled up his sleeves, full of fighting spirit: "I'll give it a try."
After saying that, he went to find a lone chicken.
The others also joined the chicken-catching frenzy, which lasted for half an hour.
Fortunately, time was not wasted, and everyone caught a chicken. The old man even caught two.
He wanted to give one to Meng Qingyin, but she smiled and refused, saying, "My master already bought one for me; it's in my car."
The old man finally gave up.
The group paid for Aunt Wang's meal and then breathed a sigh of relief.
"I don't have to stay up all night tonight anymore," Lu Cheng said excitedly.
Chen Leying brought up the clay mine, "Is Sister Shi's processing still not finished?"
Meng Qingyin suddenly remembered that Sister Shi had said yesterday that processing clay ore was not difficult and could be done in an hour.
Why haven't we heard anything yet?
She messaged Shi Ye to inquire, and Shi Ye replied: "A big order suddenly came in yesterday, and the other party needed it urgently, so it delayed your matter. I'm sorry, Xiao Meng, I'll process it for you right away."
Big order?
What kind of big order is it?
Meng Qingyin had a gut feeling that this big order must belong to a certain player.
