Chapter 209 Racing Against Time to Seize 1
So many pests, and they all disappeared all at once?!
Suddenly, an old man knelt down in the mud with a thud, tears welling in his eyes, and exclaimed excitedly, "God has opened his eyes!!"
So the others also knelt down in gratitude.
"Thank God for protecting us from this insect plague."
"Thank God, thank God!"
Overjoyed villagers expressed their gratitude in waves of thanks, for food was their lifeline!
If the rice fields are destroyed by locusts this year, many people will certainly not survive the winter.
Ma Xiulian also knelt down in worship, but besides her devout expression, her face also carried a hint of barely perceptible pride and self-satisfaction.
Heaven must have been too kind to see her precious baby go hungry, so it took pity on her and killed all the locusts.
As the captain, Zhao Mancang was also deeply shocked and moved, because apart from divine intervention, there was really no other way to explain why all the locusts had suddenly died.
Even so, he couldn't kneel down. He had to raise his voice to pull everyone back: "Don't let your guard down, everyone. There's always the chance that locusts will fly over from other places. We still have to race against time to harvest the rice!"
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately tensed up and picked up their tools to get to work.
The most important thing now is to harvest all the rice. Although all the locusts are dead, as the team leader said, what if there is another wave?
But at least I'm not as panicked and scared as before.
As her tense nerves relaxed, Li Chunhua's stomach began to ache. She grabbed Zhao Mei beside her and said, "Sister-in-law, hurry, I'm going into labor!"
"Spring Flower!"
Chen Jianye ran to her side in a few steps, and was about to pick her up when Ma Xiulian scolded him, "What good will a grown man like you do back home? Stop meddling here and hurry up and grab the grain."
After speaking, he looked at Zhao Mei and Zhou Zhaodi and instructed them, "You two hurry up and carry the person home. I'll go back and boil some water first."
Zhao Mei and Zhou Zhaodi were not many either; they carried Li Chunhua home.
They were used to farm work and were strong. Lifting Li Chunhua, who weighed over 100 pounds, was a piece of cake for them.

On the other side, Gu Tingyun stared blankly at the locust corpses scattered around him. "Did I kill all of these?"
He didn't even know how it all happened.
Helian Jiao leaned closer and praised in a soft, sweet voice, "Yes, you're amazing!"
Then he quickly added, "But I'll be even better than you in the future."
Seeing a clean grain of rice stuck to the corner of her rosy lips, Gu Tingyun habitually took out a handkerchief from her pocket and wiped the rice off.
"You have a grain of rice here."
Upon hearing this, Helian Jiao immediately remembered that she had only eaten two bites of food before coming out to chase away these pests.
So he puffed out his cheeks and said angrily, "It's all those bedbugs' fault, they made me not get enough to eat."
Gu Tingyun grabbed her hand and said, "Then I'll take my baby back for dinner now."
I temporarily suppressed my doubts and questions.
Sanni, who witnessed the entire scene, was still in a daze and hadn't come to her senses.
She could see it clearly: the locusts started falling in circles around Guai Bao and Gu Tingyun.
Thinking of the locusts covering the yard, her heart suddenly started racing.
Grandma has said more than once that our little darling is a fairy from heaven who was reincarnated into their family, so is her little sister really a fairy who was reincarnated?!
