Parents are busy farming

At the same time, several experienced and respected elders were standing on high places, calmly observing the flight path of the locusts, and calmly directing everyone how to adjust the positions of various pest control tools according to the wind direction and the dynamics of the locusts.

The elders spoke loudly and firmly: "This way, there are more locusts here, quickly concentrate your forces to attack here!"

"Attention, the wind is blowing to the east. Adjust the direction of the smoke screen quickly. Don't let the smoke drift away!"

Under the orderly command of the elders, all actions became more coordinated and orderly.

The entire field was filled with shouts, some of which were anxious, some of which were full of fighting spirit.

Everyone was united in purpose and worked together to fight a desperate battle against this terrible locust plague.

Everyone's clothes were soaked with sweat, but no one complained or felt tired, because they knew that only by unity could they overcome the disaster before them.

Ye Zifen stood there, her eyes slowly sweeping over the group of extremely tired people in front of her.

They all had pale faces, bloodshot eyes, and their bodies were trembling slightly, as if they would fall down at any time.

Looking at this scene, Ye Zifen's heart was filled with worry and uneasiness.

She knew very well that if everyone continued to work around the clock, sooner or later everyone would fall ill from overwork.

Thinking of this, she said without hesitation: "Listen to me, this is not a solution! We have to divide the staff into two shifts and let some of them go back and have a good rest first!"

After she finished speaking, she raised her voice, hoping that her voice would attract everyone's attention.

However, what surprised Ye Zifen was that even though she had expressed her ideas so clearly, no one present was willing to follow her arrangements.

I saw everyone shaking their heads, with stubbornness and determination written all over their faces.

"No, Sister Ye! There are still so many locusts, how can we just leave like this?" Someone in the crowd shouted this and was immediately responded by others.

"That's right, Princess! We must stick together to the end!"

Hearing these words, Ye Zifen felt helpless and anxious.

Of course she understood everyone's desire to protect the food, but if they didn't rest or eat, even the strongest person would not be able to hold on.

At this time, some people began to act spontaneously.

They found a relatively flat place in the open ground, sat together, and started cooking.

Some people took out dry food from their backpacks and ate it in big mouthfuls, as if they were eating the most precious and delicious food in the world. Others just lay on the ground, closed their eyes and fell asleep, completely ignoring the noisy environment around them.

Suddenly, the entire open space became bustling with activity.

Shouts, chewing sounds and occasional whispers interweave to form a unique melody.

Some of those who were sitting and eating leaned against tree trunks to take a rest, while others snuggled up to each other, giving each other a little warmth and comfort.

Those who were talking in low voices were seriously discussing the next work plan and thinking about how to complete the task more efficiently...

It was late at night and everything was silent, with only the occasional chirping of insects breaking the tranquility.

However, in this silence, the sound of heavy breathing was particularly clear.

It turned out that someone was too tired and had already fallen into a deep sleep.

Ye Zifen stood quietly by the side, looking at the scene in front of her. Her heart couldn't help but tighten, and her heartache was beyond words.

She moved her feet gently and squatted down slowly, for fear of waking up the sleeping person.

Then she carefully picked up a piece of clothing and gently covered the man with it.

After doing all this, Ye Zifen did not get up and leave immediately, but slowly shifted her gaze to other people around her.

Everyone's face was filled with deep fatigue, and some even had traces of tears still on their faces.

Seeing all this, her heart felt as if it was being tightly grasped by an invisible hand and the pain was unbearable.

However, in such a difficult situation, she herself was overwhelmed.

Everyone can only rely on each other, support each other and take turns to rest.

From night to day, time passed by unknowingly.

Although they were extremely tired, everyone's eyes always revealed determination and hope for the future.

Fortunately, not much food was wasted.

The chickens and ducks that are usually lively and energetic now look like a group of brave and fearless warriors, rushing happily into the fields.

They chirped incessantly and moved back and forth in the fields with their nimble little feet, busy eliminating the "fish that slipped through the net" - the remaining locusts.

As the days passed, everyone gritted their teeth and persevered.

After seven full days, the locusts gradually decreased in number until they were completely eliminated.

During these seven days, every day was an arduous battle for them.

The scorching sun scorched the earth mercilessly, and sweat soaked their clothes.

Especially in the first three days, the number of locusts was so staggering and terrifying!

The locusts flying all over the sky were like billowing black smoke, sweeping over the sky and covering the earth, as if they were going to swallow up the entire world.

Faced with this sudden locust plague, people's hearts were shrouded in deep fear and endless anxiety, so heavy that it made it almost hard to breathe.

However, despite the anxiety and fear in their hearts, people never stopped swinging the tools in their hands.

They held brooms and waved them vigorously in the air, and every wave would raise a cloud of flying dust.

Under the sunlight, the dust formed yellow smoke, which intertwined with the dark locusts, forming a thrilling picture.

This fierce battle between humans and locusts was so tense that people's hearts were always on edge.

People gritted their teeth and tried their best to drive away these greedy pests.

Their clothes were soaked with sweat and their palms were covered with blisters from holding the tools for a long time, but they still did not retreat.

Time passed slowly, and after everyone's unremitting efforts, the number of locusts finally gradually decreased.

The locust swarm that was dense at first now became sparse.

People looked at the changes before their eyes, and smiles of relief gradually appeared on their tired faces.

The nerves that had been tense slowly relaxed like a loosened bowstring.

Finally, good news came - the locusts on the grassland no longer moved southward, and their rampage was effectively curbed.
