The next day, Li Mengyue led a large army of ducks to Wujiang County, accompanied by villagers from seven villages in Qingshan Town.
The locust plague arrived as expected.
Because Wuning County and Lanlong County had accumulated experience in locust control, this time in Wujiang County, as soon as the locust army arrived, they were surrounded and intercepted by the people and the ducks.
The journey was smooth and we could eat whatever we wanted. The locusts were stunned.
They didn't know what was going on, but they could hear the screams of their own kind.
All the locusts now have only one belief, which is to escape quickly, escape quickly.
But under the experienced duck's mouth, the probability of escape is almost zero.
Basically, all the locusts that flew near the ducks ate the food in the ducks' stomachs.
“Ga ga ga!”
“Ga ga ga!”
“Ga ga ga!”
The duck army ate a lot of food in Lanlong County, and after a night, they had digested it all.
My stomach was growling with hunger, and seeing so many locusts, how could I let them go? I ate them happily.
The ducks were eating happily, and the people of Wujiang County saw the notice early in the morning.
It was said that a locust plague was about to strike, and people from all over the county had to go out to catch locusts. If they caught locusts, people would buy them for five cents a pound. Even if they didn't sell them, they could keep them for themselves to eat.
After seeing the notice, everyone went crazy and hurried home to prepare tools for catching locusts.
Word spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred. In less than an hour, all the people in Wujiang County knew that locusts were not only edible, but also could be sold for money.
They were all fully armed, standing in an open area with nets, waiting for the locusts to arrive.
Before the locust swarm arrived, everyone was talking about the fact that locusts cost five cents a pound.
It's not that they haven't met before, it's just that the news that locusts can be sold for money is too explosive.
If the county government hadn't posted the notice, no one would have believed it and would have thought it was a rumor.
However, with the government's warning, people from all over the county took action. Even children who had just learned to walk carried small bamboo baskets back home, trying to catch all the locusts that had strayed.
The locusts flew quickly towards Wujiang County and arrived in Wujiang, and then a nationwide locust eradication campaign began.
Because Wujiang County Magistrate Wu Zhen went to Wuning County and Lanlong County, he witnessed the whole process of people and ducks catching locusts.
I learned from Li Mengyue that Wujiang County was about to face a locust plague. I didn't dare to delay any longer and immediately rushed back to Wujiang.
After that, we will gather people and make arrangements so that we won’t be in a panic when the locust plague comes.
Li Mengyue, who was sitting next to them, gave orders to the four duck captains, Xiaogong, Xiaoxi, Xiaofa and Xiaocai, and then stopped caring about them.
The seven village heads had been working together during this period and had developed a tacit understanding. They each led the villagers to collect the locusts, set up the pots, and process the locusts in an orderly manner, and Li Mengyue didn't have to worry at all.
[Hey, aren't those the people of Lanlong County?]
Li Mengyue heard the system muttering and immediately looked up at Guodian.
Aren't the ones walking in front the Lanlong County Magistrate Zhong Sen and the County Lieutenant Jiang Zhong?
Seeing the people following behind, all holding catching nets, sacks and large backpacks, Li Mengyue's mouth twitched.
What's wrong with this?
[Su, could it be that they've finished catching all the locusts in Lanlong County, and are coming here to catch those in Wujiang County?]
【Um. 】
Seeing the people of Lanlong County ready to fight, she felt a little sorry for the locust swarm.
