"Bury!"
But just as he finished saying bury, a locust took the opportunity to crawl into his mouth and bit him to death.
Yang Zhijin's entire mouth was filled with the fishy smell of locusts, and he vomited immediately.
"Ugh! Ugh!"
The yamen runners divided the work and cooperated with each other. Some of them took turns catching locusts with four-foot nets, while others used hoes and iron spades to fill the pit with soil, trying to suffocate all the locusts.
Although more than ten thousand locusts died every time they were buried, it was no exaggeration to say that it was a heavy rain for the army of locusts that kept flying here.
The only consolation was that the people in the city did not come out to help catch locusts. They brought more than a dozen large nets, which were able to stop many locusts and force them to stop moving forward.
But no matter how well Yang Zhijin prepared, and no matter how everyone worked together, human power was ultimately insignificant in the face of disasters brought by nature.
Half a minute later, someone shouted in fear: "Sir, we can't stop them...
Seeing the locusts smashing the net into pieces, everyone present showed despair.
Yang Zhijin turned his gaze to the chickens and ducks and saw that their bellies were bulging, indicating they were very full.
It takes time to digest before you can continue eating locusts.
"Is there really no other way?"
Yang Zhijin murmured to himself. He had never felt so desperate since he was born.
This is just a part of the locusts. Who knows how many more there are behind them.
They can't even stop this, let alone the large army behind them.
He could only watch as the locust army destroyed Wuning County, then went to Lanlong County, Wujiang County, Huangyao County, Shuimo County, Gugang County, and even crossed Qingshan Prefecture and continued to fly north to the capital.
Thinking of this, Yang Zhijin was enveloped in despair and felt suffocated.
"God damn locusts, why don't you just die!
The people who came from the county were all very happy at first because they thought they could make money.
But facing the increasing number of locusts, they are not stupid. If they can't stop these locusts, not to mention the county town, even the provincial capital will be affected.
Once the lower-class people have no food to eat, there will definitely be riots in the county, affecting everyone's lives.
Even if they can make money by selling the locusts, so what? They have to be alive to spend it.
"Oh my God, I don't want to sell locusts for money anymore. Please, take these locusts away!"
"I don't want any money either."
"Me too."
“Woo…”
…
As the cries grew louder, everyone realized the harm posed by the locusts, and a feeling of despair spread to everyone.
How can we stop so many locusts?
Even if there are more people, the more locusts are killed, the more locusts will come, and it will be impossible to stop them.
"Master, it's really unstoppable."
Yang Run had never seen such despair on his young master's face, but as he looked at the flying locusts, he really didn't know how to persuade him.
"Why!"
Yang Zhijin thought he was well prepared, and nothing was left out, including the catching nets, chickens, ducks, and cloth nets.
But there were too many locusts, and he had tried his best. As for the final outcome, he could only leave it to fate.
“Ding ding ding!”
“Ding ding ding!”
“Ding ding ding!”
