Chapter 8 Locusts Fighting the Fire
In the entire Gaojiazhuang, anyone may help him, only Wang Jiaping and Wang family will not.
Because when Gao Huan was a child, he might have accidentally discovered some secret between them, and Wang was suspicious, so he always wanted to kill him.
Over the years, Gao Huan has not studied and has done things wrong in the village. He has a bad relationship with Gao Youcai. He is considered a fool, but in fact he has to do it on purpose.
After all, he is just a child. Although he is smart, he has basically no power to fight back when facing adult murders. No one will believe his words. He may fall into the water again or have any other accidents.
Over the years, Gao Huan has always acted as a family heir, not like the heirs, who used self-deprecating means to make Wang and Wang Jiaping feel at ease, believing that he cannot become a climate and cannot threaten them.
However, as the distance between Jiashen became closer, Gao Huan could not be restrained by these two villains, and achieved nothing and missed a big deal.
Therefore, from the beginning of the year, Gao Huan began to want to do something, and as soon as he made a move, he immediately attracted Wang's murderous intent.
Not long ago, his conflict with a boy from the neighboring village made Gao Huan understand that the vicious woman of Wang never gave up his idea.
Gao Huan looked at Wang Jiaping's appearance, his eyes emitted murderous aura, and he said coldly: "Get out of here, you don't need that!"
"Haha~" Wang Jiaping smiled treacherously, "That's probably not possible. My uncle promised the master to help the eldest master!"
Shameless enough! Gao Huan swelled his cheeks, turned around and left, ignoring him.
He directed the villagers to continue to destroy locusts, while Wang Jiaping led everyone to stand, and did not dare to blatantly destroy them, so as not to leave any handle.
At this time, locusts were still flying in the sky like rain, as if they would never stop.
The people caught it for an afternoon, but they were already very tired without taking a bite of the meal, and many elderly people and children could hardly hold on.
"Everyone insists on persevering. Once they relax, all their previous efforts will be wasted!" Li Wu saw the defense line shaken and hurriedly encouraged him loudly.
The locusts hit everyone like raindrops, and the villagers were so embarrassed that people fell to the ground from time to time.
Although the locust swarm was covered with sore arms, and they were exhausted, everyone had to keep it tight and persisted, tirelessly holding the bed sheets and net bags to catch the locusts.
Everyone has been persevering for a day, and the wheat seedlings in the fields are still there. If you give up at this time, all your efforts will be wasted!
At this time, Gao Yougang took a group of people and carried baskets to deliver big cakes to the villagers, but was stopped by Wang Jiaping, "What are you doing? I'm busy without seeing it, so how can I have time to eat!"
Locusts are like rain, everyone is fighting hard, and there is a lack of manpower in every place, and danger is everywhere. However, the results of more than 2,000 villagers' hard work are also obvious.
The cloth bags prepared by Gao Huan have been packed. The villagers crushed the locusts wrapped in net bags and bed sheets to death, and then fell to the ground, and the locusts' bodies piled up into hills.
However, after killing so many locusts, the locusts in the sky still did not decrease.
Wang Jiaping looked at everything in front of him coldly, and looked up and saw that it was getting dark. The chickens and ducks that were originally catching locusts in the field gathered together and stopped moving. He sneered on his face, and the opportunity to wait was coming.
At this time, he winked at several subordinates and snatched the basket of shoulder poles from Gao Yougang and others.
"It's time to eat! It's time to eat!" Wang Jiaping picked up the frame and ran into the crowd, deliberately knocking the person down. The net bag fell to the ground, and the locusts inside instantly scattered their legs.
Several tenants deliberately tripped up together. The villagers who had caught locusts for a day had already been numb and weak in their knees and were exhausted. They fell to the ground with a light hit. The defense line suddenly had a gap. Swarms of locusts fell into the wheat field. The wheat seedlings, a foot tall, were eaten up in a moment.
The villagers quickly got up and tried their best to stop the locusts, but a large number of locusts had already rushed into the wheat field. Many tired old people wanted to get up after falling down, but they were exhausted.
Seeing swarms of locusts falling into the wheat field, chickens and ducks were not catching food, and the villagers tried their best to drive them away, but to no avail, Yang Shulin and others sat on the ground and burst into tears, "My crops!"
"Woooooooooooooo~" cried, and the villagers who had been fighting for a whole day also dimmed their eyes, knowing that the dealer was about to finish.
Wang Jia smiled fiercely, suddenly raised his arms and shouted: "The Locust God is showing his power, everyone run away!"
Many villagers looked at the locusts in the sky in despair, stopped their movements, and more locusts fell into the wheat fields.
Wang Jiaping showed a successful smile on his face, and at this moment, he suddenly heard a loud shout that shocked the four fields, "Don't panic! Light up the fire."
Wang Jiaping turned his head and saw Gao Huan holding a torch in his hand and shouting loudly. A group of young men holding a torch in his hand, spreading their bodies and running in the fields, lit piles of bonfires among the ridges.
A magical scene happened. At the moment the bonfire was ignited, the locusts in the sky no longer fell into the wheat fields, but ran into groups of people on the bonfire.
These locusts fell into the fire and were burned to death in a moment. When the villagers saw that the locusts were not very smart, they actually died by themselves. They were so shocked that they could not speak. After a while, they suddenly cheered, "The locusts were killed by themselves!"
"Big Young Master! Big Young Master!" The villagers couldn't help but cheer around Gao Huan.
Gao Huan showed a smile that should have been like this on his face.
Gao Huan actually has no experience in how to kill locusts. The mistakes he made were done according to the method of Yao Chong, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty.
Now it seems that all these methods have undoubtedly worked.
Gao Huan shouted loudly: "Look up all the bonfires!"
The villagers looked at Gao Huan who was wearing the torch and seemed to have a backbone, so they quickly followed the eldest son's instructions to do it.
Gao Huan continued to instruct: "It's dark, don't squeeze together. Half of them go to find firewood. The fire will be burned overnight."
Hundreds of bonfires were lit everywhere in the fields outside Gao Laozhuang. When the villagers saw locusts flying into the fire, they were all relieved and obeyed Gao Huan's words.
The villagers acted separately, and Li Wu led a team of villagers to push away the dazed Wang Jiaping, "Stand up, don't get in the way."
Wang Jiaping was pushed down the ridge of the field before he came to his senses and smashed his mouth, but he didn't say anything in the end.
"Butler Wang, the locusts have fallen into our fields!" A tenant rushed over.
Wang Jiaping glared at him, "What?"
As it got dark, Gao Huan lit a fire in the field, and swarms of locusts were sent to the fire by themselves. However, the fields rented by Wang Jiaping and others were pitch black, and some locusts that had escaped the net fell down one after another, covering the wheat field.
For a moment, Wang Jiaping didn't bother with Gao Huan. Seeing that the locusts here were cured by 80% of them, he hurriedly led his subordinates to the river.
In the darkness, everyone's eyes were pitch black. They could only hear the sound of locusts falling to the ground and felt the locusts hitting themselves.
Wang Jiaping was anxious, turned his head and looked at the fires in the distance, and shouted quickly: "Why don't you go find firewood quickly and light a few fires to attract locusts!"
A group of people hurriedly went to find firewood, but it was dark and there was nowhere to find it. Even if there were, it was already taken away by Gao Huan.
Wang Jiaping roared repeatedly, causing everyone to become even more panic. Many people were blind and could not see it when it was dark. A tenant was not paying attention and knocked Wang Jiaping over and rolled directly into the Yingshui River.
"Oh, Butler Wang!" Several tenants hurried down the river and picked up the Wang family.
When Wang Jiaping climbed ashore in a panic, Gao Huan stood by the fire, looking at the cheering crowd, and a smile appeared on his calm face.
Humph! Wang Jiaping, the turtle grandson, not only will he kneel down for me this time, but he will also suffer heavy losses. Those tenants who followed Wang Jiaping will also regret it to death.
Beside him, Yang Yan and the teenagers stood on the left and right, watching the burning bonfire, smelling the burning smell of locusts, and Adam's apple started to wriggle again.
Gao Huan looked at the confiscated locusts on the ground. These are precious treasures. Eating chickens and ducks can lay more eggs, and eating them can also replenish their energy. It will become his first capital to make a fortune in troubled times.
