42 burning locusts
"It's not enough to release these things now!" The prime minister frowned and looked at the people in the field who were catching locusts with a wire mesh.
"It can only be alleviated, not solved!"
"What's wrong with that!" The prime minister seems to be very worried.
"There are so many locusts that even if a bird is full, it can't eat it all! Now there is only a fire attack!"
"No, this is undoubtedly killing chickens to get eggs! I'm afraid it's not right!" Murong Zijun thought I wanted to burn the field with fire and quickly rejected my proposal.
"There is no need to burn the fields, just dig a deep pit between the fields after dark and burn the fire to attract locusts to fly over! If the prince is afraid of the spread of the fire, he can water the field during the day! Just prepare more mud and sand to put out the fire!" I explained to Murong Zijun.
"This has not been solved since ancient times, but I'm afraid..." The minister's words didn't come out, and everyone knew what he was going to say. The unprecedented method was afraid of failure and it would be difficult to say.
"I have seen the seedlings in the field, and they have just begun to grow. Now as long as there is no locust bite, although it can't be a bumper harvest in the past few years, it won't be grainless!"
"Let's do what Miss San said! Do you have a better way now?" Mujin said. Murong Zijun couldn't come up with a better way, so he had to order his servants to do it.
Because we had to wait until night to see the effect, we stayed at the foot of the mountain and waited for the night to come. While waiting, many officials and guests carried birds and frogs in cages to release and watched the birds fly freely in the sky. I also yearned for them.
"Does Tianxiang like birds very much?" Murong Zijun looked at me and stared at the birds in the sky and asked me.
"Like their freedom, the sky is high for birds to fly, and the sea is wide for fish to leap. As long as it is free, I yearn for it!" It's rare that I don't want to satirize him.
"How difficult it is to be free, it requires supreme power above everything!"
"You're wrong. That's not freedom. Your heart is still imprisoned by those unnecessary things. You are carefree and reliable. You don't have to worry about where tomorrow will be. Don't worry about having nowhere to go! That's called freedom." I refute Murong Zijun's concept.
"Oh, Tianxiang means that we are not free!" Murong Zijun asked me with a smile.
"Indeed, don't be a battlefield soldier for a man and a royal woman for a woman! These two are the least free people! But you don't understand when I told you! A kid who has been spoiled since childhood!" I made a grimace at him and ran to find Helianwu. It's better to chat with this girl.
Murong Zijun looked at my background thoughtfully, Tianxiang, do you know that the more you disdain those false names, the more attractive you are to me!
From afar, I saw a figure in red slowly walking in my direction. He walked very slowly, as if he was afraid of falling. His background is a golden sunset, and those lights coat his outline with gold, looking as beautiful as a fairy! As long as the steps are not so awkward.
"You didn't call me down the mountain. When I woke up, there was no one left, but it took me a long time to find someone to tell me that you were here!" Su Shixian looked at us with accusatory eyes. I really forgot that I had the number one person like him.
"That's not to make Brother Su sleep better and dare not disturb you! Besides, you have a very bad temper when you are disturbed to sleep. I have learned it!" Murong Zijun completely ignored his anger.
"It's important! How can you leave me for such an important thing!" Obviously, Su Shixian was provoked by this difficult mountain road to walk, and he couldn't forgive it.
"Brother Su, for the sake of Tianxiang's idea, don't stick to this problem anymore?"
"Really?!" Su Shixian looked at me with a surprised face. I nodded. Su Shixian grabbed my hand excitedly.
"I knew that with Tianxiang's wisdom, I could definitely think of a way to solve the problem!" Murong Zijun was obviously not very happy to see Su Shixian grab my hand, so he knocked our hand away without a trace and took Su Shixian aside to play.
The sky gradually darkened. Liu Yiqing asked the officers and soldiers to bring us food, and commanded everyone to dig deep holes between the fields. I guess after today's shock, he will not dare to eat bird meat in his life.
After they prepared the firewood and poured some oil on it, they began to light the fire. The flames were very high. Liu Yiqing sent people to guard there to prevent the fire from spreading to the field in one direction. On the one hand, firewood can be added in time to prevent the fire from being extinguished.
In a while, some people reported with joy, saying that the method worked. The locusts jumped into the fire like crazy, and there was a "pop" sound everywhere, and there was a unique smell of insects being burned to death by the fire.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and it will work! Now Ruicheng is saved!
"All this is thanks to Tianxiang's good method!" Su Shixian looked at me with starry eyes. The big and small officials in Ruicheng now look at me in the same way as the savior, and they have boasted that giving birth to a woman is much more useful than a son. Wise and resourceful is quite the wind of a father! The prime minister also accepted the praise of everyone happily.
The fire in the field shines into the sky, illuminating the sky, which looks a little beautiful. Seeing the locusts rushing to the fire, I also felt very pitiful. After a few days of full food, a fire returned to the west. Murong Zijun asked Liu Yiqing to take him to the field to have a look. The prime minister and Mujin also followed him. Helianwu naturally took Mujin's arm and followed him.
"Ah... snake, there are snakes!" I was looking at the night in a daze and suddenly heard Su Shixian's discolored scream. I looked at Su Shixian jumping up and down on the edge of the pergola, and saw a black color wrapped around his hand and biting his wrist. Seeing that the master was bitten, the bodyguard beside him quickly pulled the snake off Su Shixian's wrist and killed him with a sword.
I stepped forward and looked at the bloody wound on Su Shixian's hand.
"Are you all right!"
"It's not a big deal. I was so surprised just now that I scared you!" Su Shixian looks like earth and pale, and he doesn't want to save his reputation.
"No, this poisonous blood has to be sucked out. What if it is highly poisonous!" I can't say enough to grab Su Shixian's hand, put his lips on it and clear his poisonous blood. I didn't have to consider how long this move was ambiguous and inappropriate. All right! I'm a hero.
Until the blood spit out was no longer black, I asked someone to bring clean cloth to wrap his hands. As soon as I looked up, I saw Su Shixian's face blushing like something.
"Do you feel dizzy? Isn't it uncomfortable?" I thought it was a snake poison attack, and I quickly put my hand on his forehead. I didn't think that his face would become more and more red. I was afraid of delay the rescue time, so I quickly asked the bodyguard to carry him to the city for treatment.
"Tianxiang, thank you!" Su Shixian whispered to me, smiling disapprovingly. Even if I don't know anyone, I will also save them.
The bodyguard beside me quickly rinsed my mouth with water. Not long after the bodyguard sent Su Shixian away, Murong Zijun came back with his prime minister and Liu Yiqing.
"Where's Brother Su? Where have you been?" Murong Zijun didn't see Su Shixian and asked curiously.
"I was bitten by a snake! Send it to see the doctor!" I answered truthfully.
"Is it serious?" The prime minister asked with concern.
"The poisonous blood has been sucked out. It should be nothing serious!"
"There are many snakes and insects in this field. It's better for the prince, the prime minister and the national master to go back to the villa to rest first. Just hand it over to the subordinates here!" Liu Yiqing immediately broke into a cold sweat when he heard this. Fortunately, he didn't bite the prince, but he couldn't afford to bite anyone in it.
Everyone did not object, and immediately let the bodyguard hold the lamp and walk to the mountain. When I returned to the residence, I sweated all over and felt very uncomfortable, so I changed my clothes and went to the waterfall. Helian dance originally wanted to get tired of the jinx. However, Mujin and Murong Zijun lived close and couldn't find a reason to go there. I had to take a bath with me.
I have to say that the night scene on this mountain is good. We can also see the faint light and fire at the foot of the mountain, and it is particularly clear to look up at the stars.
After playing with Helian dance for half an hour, I finally washed away my sweat. When I climbed up, I was indescribably refreshing. Looking at the scenery sleeping in the night, how good you should be by my side at this moment!
In the early morning, Helian dance dug me out of the quilt and pulled me to the mirror to keep fiddling. I looked at the panda's eyes on my face, and it seemed that there was no hope.
After cleaning up, Helianwu took out a very happy dress for me and put on a standard bright red color. What? Did the prime minister give me to someone I didn't know yesterday?
But this dress is very beautiful. The collar hangs a Chinese knot, which is very chic! When Helianwu wanted to make up for me, I thoroughly believed that I was married by my grandfather without my knowledge.
Then Helianwu pulled me to the table and brought me a bowl of noodles without putting anything, only lean meat, and a few slices of chopped green onions floated on the soup. The fragrance made my fingers move, and I complained while eating noodles.
"Wo'er, even if my father is going to marry me without knowing it, he doesn't have to be so stingy to send me with a bowl of noodles! At least it's a big fish and meat. They didn't do this before they went to the execution ground!"
"Ah...what marriage, miss, what are you talking about?" Helian dance is busy admiring her works - I don't understand what I said at all.
"Aren't you going to marry me? What's the matter with dressing like New Year's? I pulled the corners of my mouth, and you should stop hiding it from me. I can stand it.
"No, isn't today the young lady's birthday?" Helian dance scratched his head, looking like he couldn't figure it out.
Alas, Chu Tianxiang's birthday is too far from mine. I don't remember it normally.
"It's okay, miss, I'm teasing you. See if you forgot!" I smiled at her comfortingly and then stretched out my hand to Helian Dance.
"Where's my gift, Miss! I'm so kind to you, I have to give you a gift!"
Didn't you eat the gift? Every year on my birthday, Master Mujin gives me a bowl of longevity noodles!" I looked at the yearning Helian dance, and the corners of my mouth began to twitch again. If I didn't say it earlier, I would have eaten slower! Such a small bowl, I didn't have time to feel your heart and finished it!
After eating the noodles, I went to the mirror to look at myself. It was so beautiful that I was embarrassed! Well, I'm narcissistic! It's not easy to think that a thin and stricken person was raised by me like a green onion.
It's a pity not to go out in such a beautiful clothes. With the idea that it's better to be happy alone, I want to run out and walk around the villa. As a result, Mujin came to my room without stepping out of the door.
It's not a good thing to see Murong Zijun early in the morning. But this time I think I was wrong, because I saw the bodyguard holding a box behind Murong Zijun. This one didn't come to give me a gift. It's hard to say. After all, this person has a bad idea about me. It's normal to please me. Let's see how I get off his stage later.
"Tianxiang looks really as beautiful as a flower today!" Murong Zijun was obviously stunned by me in red and praised me in a hurry.
"What kind of flower, it's not a dog tail flower!" I didn't have any good words, which made Murong Zijun speechless. Helian dance laughed out loud as I said.
"Today is Miss San's birthday, and the little gift is not respectable!" Mujin took out something similar to an amulet from her sleeve and handed it to me. This gift is really thin!
"I also chose a gift for Tianxiang!" When Murong Zijun saw the gift given by the national teacher, he quickly followed up, which was much more valuable than Mujin's gift. A transparent jade hairpin lies quietly on the velvet cloth of gold cloth, and you will know that it is valuable at a glance. One end of the hairpin is a cluster of plum blossoms, which is simple and exquisite.
Seeing that Murong Zijun's gift still won my heart, I won't embarrass him. He is also much more pleasant to him.
Murong Zijun wanted to go down the mountain to see the casualties of the locusts, so he hurried away. Mu Jin abducted Helianwu directly. When he left, he told me that others might also give me gifts and told me not to run around.
I can only sit at the table and kowtling melon seeds, waiting for others to give me gifts. It's okay to give such a small gift, and then take my girl away. Who is it? Later, Xiang Ye and Chu Tianxue also sent someone to send a gift box. Xiang Ye gave me the most, a silver ticket with a face value of 300 taels, and Chu Tianxue sent a box of rouge and savor bags. Liu Yiqing's wife sent me some cakes and asked the maid to say a few auspicious words and left. Everything is quiet again. I'm just a pity that someone can't see such a good makeup. It's been more than ten days! Don't know if someone miss me? Definitely not, because I haven't sneezed.
