The speed at which the locusts moved did not seem fast in the eyes of Su Yu and Su Gu'an, but that was only because they were still far away.Looking through the canyon from here, the place swept by the locusts has turned into bare land, not only crops, but also no weeds left.

Su Yu's grandfather's house is over there, and it is estimated that there is not much land left in his family.Crops are the life of farmers!How can they live without crops!
Su Gu'an was still pulling Su Yu: "Dayu, what are you doing here! Follow me quickly! If you get entangled by locusts, you will die!"

Su Yu didn't move, he was still thinking about something.

Su Gu'an thought that Su Yu was frightened, and hurriedly hugged Su Yu and was about to run eastward.When Su Guan was young, he saw a plague of locusts.Everywhere they went was lifeless, and even the old cows in the next village were devoured by locusts.

There was some chance of winning the battle with the wolf in order to ask a doctor for Su Bai before, but now it is definitely impossible to win against the locust!
"Father, don't hug me! I have a solution!" Su Yu's eyes flashed a ray of hope.You bloody bugs met me today, so you are unlucky!There is such a large rice field in the east, and there are many dry fields a little farther away, how can you allow you to do such harm!

"Dayu! Don't be ridiculous! This is a locust, we can't stop it! The most important thing is to save your life now!" Su Gu'an's eyes turned red with anger, and he wanted to run away immediately with Su Yu in his arms. After a while, it is estimated that both of them will not be able to escape!

"Father! Did you bring the Huozhangzi?" Su Yu asked suddenly.

"I've brought it..." Su Gu'an always carried this fire bag when he went out, because he would always use it, so he handed the fire bag to Su Yu's hand in doubt.

After Su Yu took it, he ran towards the canyon.She was also very impatient just now, and when she looked around, she discovered that there was a narrow canyon here.Originally, there was a fairly wide river around the West Mountain, but it happened that the river changed its course at this canyon, which made the canyon below a piece of land.Then things will be easier to handle!

"Why are you going, Dayu!" Su Gu'an also ran after her.Why is this kid still heading in the direction the locusts are coming from!
Su Yu didn't look back, but you roared: "What else can you do! Set fire to the mountain! Even if the mountain is burned up, you can't let this locust fly over!"

She had reached the canyon while speaking.She looked for the narrowest place, which was only the width of an ox cart.Su Gu'an saw that Su Yu really seemed to have a way, so he also helped out.

"Father, bring your sickle, go and cut some corn stalks, the more the better! Hurry up! This locust looks like it's going to the canyon soon!" Su Yu said to Su Gu'an.

Su Guan hurriedly went to cut the corn stalks. The land here was not theirs, and he didn't care about it anymore. He cut it desperately, and Su Yu was on the sidelines. After Su Guan cut it, she would Carry it to the narrowest part of the canyon.

And she has also inspected it. Because the west side of the canyon is the west mountain, the river diverts, so the west side is full of cliffs, and there is no worry that the fire will spread to the west mountain. However, the north mountain is not big, and it will burn out. It burned.

When Su Guan and Su Yu finally cut the corn stalks and piled them up in the middle of the canyon, the locusts were finally coming.

With hatred in his eyes, Su Yu ruthlessly threw the burnt bag onto the pile of corn stalks half as high as a person in front of him.The fire burst out with a "hula", and started to run straight up the trees on the mountain.

It was completely dark now, and if it wasn't for the sound of fire and the buzzing of locusts getting louder, it would be impossible to tell what happened at night.

Those locusts flew very low in order to devour the crops and vegetation on the ground, and their formation was very regular.And this bug likes places with fire and light the most. After being blocked in a dead end, it is not ready to turn back, and rushes straight towards the raging fire and light!

Su Yu watched the scorched and blackened corpse of the worm in front of him fall down and be burned to ashes by the fire, let alone relieve his anger.

"Father, there are few trees in the west, so we need to add more corn stalks. You continue to cut, and I will throw it!" Su Yu said to Su Gu'an.

This time Su Gu'an was in a good mood.When I was young, what my family feared the most was not drought and waterlogging, but locusts.Because how many crops can be left during droughts and floods, since the locusts, there is not even a little scum left!This time is good, let you choose a road of no return!To hell with these damned locusts!

"Okay! I'll cut it! I don't know whose land it is. I will make up for the loss of his family in the future! This time I burned the locusts, but I burned them too much! Look at these damned locusts. Don't be arrogant!" Su Gu'an eagerly went to cut the corn stalks, and Su Yu followed behind Su Gu'an.

Not to mention, these really life-threatening locusts flew over through the sea of ​​flames, but after all, they were a small number, and they couldn't make a big deal. Su Yu flicked these half-dead locusts away with his sleeves. Swing it to the ground, and then stomp it hard with your feet, and send these damn bugs to the west.

People in the village saw the fire here, and they all came to put out the fire.After all, Beishan is also a very woody mountain.

But after hearing what the situation was, they all joined the camp of burning locusts.With the help of so many people, whether it is cutting corn stalks or throwing corn stalks, great results have been achieved.

As long as you are a farmer, there is no one who does not hate locusts.They were all burnt to death, it would be better if they were all burned up!
The fire burned for a whole night, and the northern mountain was burned bare. Fortunately, the fire on the western mountain did not spread.Su Yu and the others also took advantage of the right time and place this time.

On the second day, when it was just dawn, the canyon was filled with smoke from the fire that burned last night.And the nose is full of the smell of burnt insect corpses.

Many farmers even took torches to fill up the fire for the locusts that hadn't been burned, and they really managed to kill all the locusts without leaving them.

Although Beishan was completely burned because of this fire, so many locusts were burned to death, it was worth it!

When the smoke gradually dissipated, the situation on the other side of the canyon was completely revealed.The other side is obviously not as lucky as Qingshui Village, which has been ravaged by locusts.A lot of farmers also came over from there, checking the situation of their own land, and even the more emotional ones burst into tears.

A year of hard work, so wasted!

This is the first time Su Yu has seen the power of locusts. Seeing the farmers on the other side of the canyon crying, her heart tightened.

In modern times, locusts were something that could only be seen in books, and it was rare to hear that any place was ravaged by locusts.This is a shocking one.

Seeing the fruits of labor of those farmers being destroyed, Su Yu's body was also trembling.The farmers in Qingshui Village around them couldn't help but feel a little bit alive after the catastrophe.

Fortunately, the locusts were stopped this time, otherwise they would have ended up like the people on the other side of the canyon!
But Su Yu suddenly thought of one more thing to tell everyone: "Everyone, please listen to me first! Everyone can see the results of burning locusts last night. Su Yu is here to thank everyone for your help! About being cut off by us My Su family will fully compensate for this corn field, and we don’t need everyone to bear the responsibility!"

Before Su Yu finished speaking, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted: "No need! This is my land, and we only cut it for burning locusts! You don't need to pay compensation! Burn these bastards to death, I am also happy!"

Su Yu threw gratitude at the man with eyes full of gratitude, and then nodded. "There is one more thing I want to explain to everyone. These locusts are usually a precursor to drought. If you believe me, store up all the food this year. There is not too much food!"

Because Su Yu had helped the landlord so much in the Jin Mansion, the landlord was very tolerant to the villagers of Qingshui Village, and the rent he collected was many times less than before.Su Yu also just heard that the locusts are a sign of drought, but even so, I still have to tell everyone to be more careful, after all, I would rather believe it than believe it!

As soon as Su Yu said this, there was a great commotion in the crowd.Some said that what Su Yu said was right, they had heard this rumor.But there are also some people who are not very satisfied, saying that they are still counting on selling grain for a few years to make more money.

Su Yu didn't insist on saying that he was right or wrong, but just gestured for everyone to be quiet: "About what I said, you can go back and ask the old people in the village if this is the case. If you still don't believe me, you can Sell ​​all the food for money, so you don’t need to listen to my advice, everyone is tired all day, so go back to Murakami’s house to rest, last night was really hard work for everyone!” Su Yu said with a smile, and did not say anything. reluctantly who.That's all she said. If you really don't believe it, just don't listen to it.

"Father, let's go home too. Although the uncle said that we don't need to pay for the land, we must pay for this mountain. Go home and collect some money so that we won't be able to get it out when the yamen servants come to us." Su Yu grabbed Su Guan who was on the side, picked up their family's sickle from the ground, bid farewell to everyone and walked towards the house.

Although Su Gu'an was exhausted all night, his face was already tired, and his whole body was stained with soot, he was in a panic, but his heart was always happy.Anyway, their family is not short of money now, what a mountain is nothing!
The story of Su Yu setting fire to the mountain and killing the locusts by the way, spread throughout the eight villages in a short time. The villagers all said that there was a female Zhuge in Qingshui Village!It is said that this Su Yu is the lucky star of this Su city.

But when the words reached Jing Hanlin's ears, he changed his way of understanding. "Fu Xing? I think it's about the same as the broom star. It just happened that a strange color has fallen from the sky recently, saying that there will be a monster to harm the world. I think this monster is Su Yu! The locust must have been recruited by her! Come on! Bring her Catch Su Cheng for me and put him in a prison for safekeeping! Wait for my lord to have a trial in a few days!"
