Chapter 211: Plan to exterminate pests
The more Xu Yiyun thought about it, the more irritated he became. Looking at the potholes on the flowers and plants, he felt a sense of powerlessness.
He is a hunter, but he is not good at farming.
Even if he can go into the mountains to hunt and Su Xiaoxia can go into the mountains to hunt, prey is not available every day. No one can have such good luck, right?
Although Su Xiaoxia can grow things, locusts will grab them as soon as they see them. How will she be able to grow crops in the future?
However, Su Xiaoxia did not answer.
"Su Xiaoxia?" Xu Yiyun glanced down, and then squatted on the roadside with Su Xiaoxia, staring at the weeds gnawed by locusts on the ground, "Su Xiaoxia? Are you listening?"
Su Xiaoxia still didn't answer, because her consciousness was out of body at this time, and she was currently communicating with Xiao Luo in the space.
"Xiao Luo, can this important inhibitor deal with locusts?"
"It's possible, but there are too many locusts in the locust plague. I'm afraid that by the time we make it, the locusts will have already eaten up the crops."
"Is there any other way? What kind of poisonous medicine can be made from this spiritual spring water? As long as it is sprayed on a crop, as soon as the locusts are contaminated, they will be transmitted to other locusts, and finally the poison will be eliminated collectively?"
Xiao Luo shook her head: "Master, your idea is feasible, but these are all traditional Chinese medicines, not the chemical agents of the master's era. No matter how effective the traditional Chinese medicine is, it cannot compare to those powerful chemicals.
"
After hearing this, Su Xiaoxia sat on the ground, thinking about it, and suddenly remembered the method of killing locusts written in the book.
"You can give that method a try..." Su Xiaoxia muttered.
"What did the master say?" Xiao Luo tilted her head in confusion.
"It's okay." Su Xiaoxia took a deep breath, "Xiaoluo, I'll figure out a solution for the locusts. You continue to get the traditional Chinese medicine insecticide. When Shangguan Yan sends the bamboo tubes over, we can pack them up one bamboo tube at a time."
"I know Master!"
After leaving the space, Su Xiaoxia was almost startled by Xu Yiyun's face, which was only a finger away from her.
She stretched out her hand and pushed him away violently. She sat on the ground due to inertia, and Xu Yiyun was pushed by her unprepared and sat on the ground.
Su Xiaoxia rolled her eyes, "What are you doing?"
"I asked you what you are doing. You haven't replied to my words. I don't know what you are doing!" Xu Yiyun looked at her speechlessly, stood up and patted the dirt on his clothes, then stretched out his hand towards her, "Get up quickly.
"
Seeing this, Su Xiaoxia put her hand on his and explained: "I was just thinking about how to deal with such a locust plague."
"Have you thought of a way?" Xu Yiyun's eyes lit up, thinking that his daughter-in-law is more powerful!
"I thought of it, but I don't know if it will work."
"What can I do?"
"Go back first and wait until tonight. While there are not many locusts now, we can initially test this method tonight."
"Sure, I'll listen to you." Xu Yiyun nodded, looking at Su Xiaoxia's pretty face, with a smile on his face.
When Su Xiaoxia saw this, she felt a chill in her heart. She couldn't help but touch her arm, "Why are you smiling at me like this? It's so scary!"
"I was just thinking, I married a precious wife, she is very smart!" Xu Yiyun blurted out what was in his mind, not knowing whether it was because of his own brainstorm or something else.
"..." Su Xiaoxia widened her eyes and looked at Xu Yiyun in surprise.
Damn it! This guy was taken away from his body?! Otherwise, why would he say such a thing to her?
"Are you out of your mind?" Su Xiaoxia glanced at Xu Yiyun, feeling very panicked, she turned around and walked quickly home.
Xu Yiyun looked at her back speechlessly. Although he didn't like to speak his mind, he said it out loud this time. It was obviously to praise her, why should she scold him?
…
Su Xiaoxia and Su Xiaoxia both returned home with strange expressions on their faces, and neither of them spoke to anyone.
Xu Yiyun's dark face was because he was depressed about why she had such an attitude toward him. He had clearly decided to live a good life with her.
However, Su Xiaoxia was thinking about what she was going to do tonight and didn't care about the little episode just now.
The first locust extermination will begin tonight, and the amount of work will be relatively large. If we want to complete it quickly, we will need more manpower.
If the effect is good, there will be no need to worry about the locust plague!
After all, it was the first time to test it, so there was no guarantee that it would be effective, so Su Xiaoxia decided to find someone she knew and was easy to talk to.
When Shen Lan saw the couple coming back, she looked at their expressions and said nervously: "Xiaoxia, how is the situation? You two don't look very good..."
"There are a lot of locusts," Xu Yiyun said.
Hearing this, Shen Lan's face changed drastically, "So, you can't escape the locust plague this year?"
Xu Yiyun did not answer, but looked at Su Xiaoxia.
Su Xiaoxia shook her head, "Not necessarily. I'll see if my method works tonight, and then I'll know what it will be like."
"So, Xiaoxia has thought of a solution?" Shen Lan asked with surprise after hearing this.
"It may not work." Su Xiaoxia said.
Although this method was mentioned in books in previous lives, it is not known whether it is feasible in actual operation, and this was in ancient times.
Shen Lan's eyes that were originally filled with hope dimmed instantly, and finally she even sighed.
"Mom, you don't have to worry. You will know whether it is a blessing or a curse tonight." Su Xiaoxia comforted, "Mother, you will go find Aunt Xu and Uncle Xu Jiu later. Xu Yiyun, you will go find Xu Dayan and let them go home." A lot of men have come out to help. It would be better to have more people. As for the others, let’s not talk about them for now, lest they come to join in the fun and delay things.”
Hearing this, Shen Lan nodded and said, "Okay, let's go after the food is ready. They are also cooking at that time, and everyone is here, so we can talk easily."
"Um."
Xu Yiyun looked at Su Xiaoxia's absent-minded look and wanted to help, but he didn't know how to help. He could only follow her and wait for her to tell him something.
As a result, Su Xiaoxia looked at him in confusion: "Why do you keep following me?"
"I don't want to think about how I can help you when you need help. If I don't go hunting in the mountains now, I will always have to do something, but I don't know what to do now..." Xu Yiyun touched the back of his head and said naively He smiled, completely different from his cold look before.
Perhaps, this is the performance after getting mixed up!
However, Su Xiaoxia doesn't need him yet, "You go and help mother cook, I'll do the cooking here! I won't need you for the time being."
"Oh." Xu Yiyun touched his nose.
In the evening, Su Xiaoxia's family had just finished their meal when Xu Dayan, Aunt Xu's son and man, and Uncle Xu Jiu all came.
After everyone gathered, Su Xiaoxia began to talk about her plan, "Since everyone is here, let's do what I say now. The children will stay at home. It won't be of much help, and it may be a hindrance."
