Chapter 166 Countermeasures
The village chief's face was solemn, and he had already heard that the locusts were coming.

He came to Lin Yang's side and asked anxiously: "Lin Wazi, what should we do now, if the locusts eat up all the crops in the village, then we will have a hard time in the future! "

After the storm hit last time, Lin Yang built a beehive to help the villagers get through the storm safely.

Gradually, he has become the backbone of the village.

Lin Yang couldn't help but fell into deep thought, as it only took three to four days for the army of locusts to eat all the way to Shushan Village, what should he do.

Generally speaking, if you want to control the locust plague, you must quickly eliminate it when the locust plague has not yet formed!

But once the plague of locusts takes shape, it will not be that simple to eliminate them.

Looking at the animals around him, Lin Yang suddenly had a flash of inspiration. In Lin Yang's memory, many animals would eat locusts.

Especially chickens, ducks and geese raised in rural areas are good at eating locusts.

Lin Yang turned to look at the village and said, "The village chief, I have a solution."

"With the manpower of our village chief, we can't deal with the army of locusts, but we can raise those who eat locusts!"

"As long as there are enough chickens and ducks in our village chief, let alone locusts, we can even make a small fortune from them."

Hearing Lin Yang's words, the village chief at least shook his head and sighed, "Xiao Yang, we all know that chickens and ducks like to eat locusts."

"But where can our village chief find locusts that can eat millions or even tens of millions?"

"Now the village chief's chickens and ducks are full and there are less than a thousand. Even if these chickens and ducks eat a hundred locusts a day, it will not help!"

Lin Yang looked at the village chief and said with a smile: "Since there are not enough chickens and ducks in the village, then go buy them. Since thousands of chickens and ducks can't finish eating locusts, then go buy tens of thousands."

"I don't believe that tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of chickens and ducks can't finish the army of locusts."

Speaking of this, Lin Yang paused, and then said proudly: "As for the money for buying chickens and ducks in the village, I will pay for it."

With the money Lin Yang earns, he can even buy millions of chickens and ducks.

The villagers were delighted at Lin Yang's arrogance at first, but then sighed.

"Xiaoyang, let's not talk about whether we can buy so many chickens and ducks now, even if we can buy them, I'm afraid that when the chickens and ducks arrive, those locusts may have already eaten up the dealer."

Lin Yang, who was still excited just now, was immediately poured cold water by the village, and now it really doesn't matter if he has money.

It takes two days for the nearest poultry market to travel back and forth from Shushan Village. With the transportation of chickens and ducks and such a huge quantity, those merchants must make preparations.

It takes at least four to five days to transport the chickens and ducks to Shushan Village.

Judging from the current situation, the locusts can reach Shushan Village in only three days at the fastest. This time difference is enough for the army of locusts to finish eating the bankers and then pat their asses and leave.

At this moment, Char Siu Rou came to Lin Yang with the previous pangolin in his arms, and tugged on Lin Yang's sleeve.

Lin Yang looked at where the char siu pork was rubbing his stomach, and howled.

Lin Yang, who was upset, handed two small cucumbers to the char siu pork.

Seeing that there was something to eat, the char siu rou let go of the pangolin in his arms and began to chew on the cucumber.

Lin Yang gave the pangolin some water from the spiritual spring after the storm ended, and it has been following Lin Yang ever since it opened its spiritual wisdom.

Looking at the pangolin, Lin Yang suddenly thought of something, and excitedly said to the village: "Village, hurry up and arrange for the people in the village to go to the poultry market to buy chickens and ducks."

"You don't have to worry about running out of time, I have a way to hold back the locust army!"

……

The next day, the villagers discovered that there were small ravines outside the village, and a pangolin was digging hard in each ravine.

And Lin Yang was directing this while holding the barbecued pork.

After seeing these ravines, the village couldn't help asking Lin Yang, "Xiao Yang, what are you doing?"

Lin Yang looked towards the village and said with a smile, "I'm going to burn those locusts."

Later, Lin Yang explained his thoughts to the village.

Although chickens and ducks eat locusts, they do not eat mature locusts. When locusts are still larvae, that is, grasshoppers, they are a delicacy in the mouths of chickens and ducks.

But if the locusts are mature, they will secrete a smell, and when the chickens and ducks smell it, they will no longer have the desire to eat them.

Lin Yang spent money to buy so many chickens and ducks, of course it was not in vain.

After the locusts become a disaster, most of the locusts are females, and after the females mate, they will insert their ovipositors into the soil to lay eggs.

A locust can lay as many as fifty or so eggs at a time. These eggs are dark yellow in color, somewhat similar to the color of the soil, and are buried in the ground.

After the army of locusts leaves, it only takes a few days for these eggs to hatch into larvae, that is, locust gnats.

These locust gnats are black in color and much smaller in size than adult locusts, closer in size to ants.

After these locust gnats appear, they will continue to eat plants, and it only takes a very short time to become adults. When they finish eating their food, they will start migrating.

The migration of locust gnats is even more terrifying than locusts, although they have not yet given birth to wings and cannot fly.

But they will crawl on the ground in a dense army, and there will be no grass growing in the places they pass, and even rivers can't stop their progress.

It is precisely because of the advantage of not having developed wings that locust gnats can jump into the water and paddle to the opposite bank.

It takes more than ten days from locust swarms to adults. If these locust swarms are no longer dealt with before they become adults, it will not take long for a new batch of locusts to be born.

And Lin Yang bought these chickens and ducks to eliminate these locust gnats.

Soon, the villagers bought back a lot of chickens and ducks, preparing to face the disaster of locusts.

Lin Yang suddenly remembered that the little chickens he bought before were the best natural enemies of locusts?
Those little chickens drank the Lingquan water and jumped up and down recently. If it weren't for the barbecued pork, they couldn't control them anymore.

Definitely a fighter among cocks now.

Thinking of this, Lin Yang smiled slightly. At that time, he will organize the tourists of the farmhouse to catch locusts together, plus these tens of thousands of ducks.

Mere locusts are nothing to fear.

Thinking of this, Lin Yang didn't panic anymore. There are still three or four days to prepare, which is more than enough.

The most important thing now is to let the tourists participating in the farmhouse form together to catch locusts together.

The corners of his lips raised, and he already had a good idea.

"Char Siu Pork, it's up to you to do it then."
