Just when Yang Zhijin, the five county magistrates, the yamen runners, and the people in the city were helpless in the face of the overwhelming locusts, the sound of chaotic footsteps came from afar.
Yang Zhijin was the first to look over, and the despair in his eyes gradually disappeared, replaced by shock and hope.
"Master Yang, the people from Xingxi Village in Qingshan Town are here to help!"
The village chief led the entire village to the outskirts of the county town to help kill the locusts.
The five county magistrates heard the roar and looked over at the same time.
On the road leading to the county town, they saw a huge crowd of people walking towards them.
And everyone was holding a tool in their hands. Upon closer inspection, it was exactly the same as the capture net in Yang Zhijin's hand.
Yang Run opened his mouth in shock. This, these are the people from Xingying Village.
No, not only Xingying Village, but also Zhoujia Village.
Before, he and the young master went to Xingyi Village and passed by Zhoujia Village, where they met Mrs. Zhou and several villagers.
He saw Mrs. Zhou in the crowd, which meant that someone from Zhoujia Village had also come.
Sure enough, he didn't have to wait long before he heard Village Chief Zhou shouting loudly.
"Master Yang, the Zhoujia Village in Qingshan Town is here to help!"
Zhoujiacun followed closely behind, moving towards the city gate in an orderly manner.
Then, everyone at the city gate could only hear someone reporting the identities of the people who came to help.
"Master Yang, the people from Lianxi Village in Qingshan Town are here to help!"
"Master Yang, and Taoxi Village in Qingshan Town."
"Master Yang, the same is true for our Stone Village in Qingshan Town."
"Master Yang, Guixi Village, Qingshan Town +1."
"Lord Yang, in Meixi Village, Qingshan Town."
After a while, people were scurrying around the city gate, and everyone was on high alert, not letting any locust escape.
The five county magistrates and the people in the city who were in despair felt their hearts ache and tears flowed unconsciously when they saw so many people coming to help.
I don’t know if I was moved or if I felt that the increasing number of locusts was no big deal.
Villagers from seven villages came to the city gate. More than 4,000 people stood together, forming a huge black mass. It was a spectacular sight.
Just when Yang Zhijin was about to say something, countless ducks ran over from the other side.
The key point is that none of these ducks are running around. They are all lined up in neat rows, like a formation of soldiers.
And the duck leading in the front made a quacking sound from its mouth from time to time, and the ducks behind it followed suit.
The deafening creaking sound stunned not only the people at the original city gate, but also the villagers from the seven villages who came to support.
You probably don't dare to believe what you see in front of you.
These ducks must be spirits, otherwise how could they be more obedient and disciplined than humans?
If you don’t believe it, just look at those neat and uniform little steps. They walk so neatly, as if they have practiced it thousands of times.
"Hey, isn't that duck with a red string tied to its wings mine?"
"Hey, my house is over there."
"And my ten ducks."
"One of my ducks is blind. The one sitting in the front is definitely mine."
"My family has a tuft of hair on their head, and I am not mistaken."
As the large army of ducks marched in orderly steps towards the city gate, many villagers found their own ducks among the flock and started talking about it.
That’s right, in addition to the 30,000 ducks raised by Mengyue, there are also ducks raised by every household in the village.
Later, the other six villages also bought ducks from Mengyue. It can be said that the ducks from the seven villages together amounted to more than 20,000.
