Chapter 147 Xiaojin's Special Ability
Li was half-believing and half-doubted. Feng Bailing looked at the tender skin and flesh. Can she cure that thing?
But the old village chief slapped his thigh after hearing this.
"You big daughter is brave, I will accompany you. It's cloudy today, and the locusts won't come."
The land in Qi Village is deserted, and there is no grassroots and bark left on the land that was planted with crops in the past.
"Old man, I have lived for most of my life and have never seen such a fierce locust. If it weren't for the old and young, the villagers would have run away long ago."
The old village chief lit a pipe and sat on the ground with melancholy in his eyes.
"The grassroots and bark are also gnawed, and this locust is too powerful."
Feng Bailing narrowed her eyes and turned up a piece of soil.
"A foot is as big as a child's palm, with buzzing wings, gray-green and gray-green. When there are many, it is overwhelming and even more fierce than a hornet. No matter how hard it is, it can't be driven away. Except for winter, it comes out every season, and all seedlings are chewed to death."
The old village chief shook his head.
"Empress, Brother Xiao Jin said there were bugs under him, so he must be scaring Xiao Li."
Feng Xiaoli had never seen such a large field, running around in the field with her short legs, sweating heavily in her sweat.
When Dugu Xiaojin was frightened, he hurriedly ran to hug Feng Bailing and refused to let go.
"Xiao Jin didn't scare you. There are many locust eggs in this field."
When Feng Bailing said that, the old village chief was stunned.
"Big daughter, do you still know how to read this thing?"
He had been an old farmer who had been his whole life and had no idea that insect eggs were buried in the field.
Feng Bailing found a hoe and turned up a piece of soil.
"Look, there are many small holes in this piece of soil, which look like a wet's nest, and there are insect eggs under it. And there is also a slope that hasn't been turned over. The locusts gathered and laid eggs last year. Such soil must be boiled in boiling water or burned with high heat to remove the insect eggs. Otherwise, the weather will be warmer, and a large number of locusts will hatch every one or two months, and no matter how you treat it, it will be useless."
The old village chief was stunned when he heard this.
"How come Xiao Jin, how do you know that there are insect eggs underneath?"
Feng Bailing only knew about it after reading the literature, but how did Xiao Jin, who was over three years old, know about it?
Dugu Xiaojin whispered.
"Intuition."
Xiao Jin lowered his eyes, unwilling to look at Feng Bailing directly. He didn't want his mother to think that he was a child different from others.
Feng Bailing thought of some of the past events that Princess Shun told him about Xiao Jin.
This child seems to be born with the ability to communicate with animals.
Zhui Yue, who has always been very rude to others, saw Xiao Jin in the morning and licked his face.
She had an idea in her mind and pulled Dugu Xiaojin to the side.
"Xiao Jin, tell me, can you feel that there are locust eggs in these fields? Don't worry, whether you know or not, I won't blame you. Look at these villagers, they have been harmed by locusts. If they cannot control the pests well, they will not survive."
Dugu Xiaojin recalled the pale and thin appearance of the villagers, and the children who were seven or eight years old were not as tall as him because of their malnutrition.
"Brother Xiao Jin, can you really help catch bugs? Just help them."
Feng Xiaoli hugged Dugu Xiaojin's arm and shook it around.
"I'll try."
Under Feng Bailing and Feng Xiaoli's expectant gaze, Dugu Xiaojin nodded.
"But even if we find insect eggs, we can't kill insects. The fields in Qi Village are quite large. We can't eliminate insects piece by piece. Besides, spring plowing is about to be seen. If we miss the sowing season, we will be ruined this year."
