Chapter 715 Encountering a robber(2/2)
When Cheng Yu heard this, his eyes widened, his face full of astonishment, and shouted: "What? Locust plague!"
He quickly turned to look at Xi Yu and said anxiously: "Prime Minister, you can wait here and go and see the situation."
Xi Yu frowned and said firmly: "Since you have met, I'll go and have a look."
Then he turned his head and looked at Ouyang Linlin, Xiaohong and Song Shuwen, and said gently: "Linlin, you three will rest here."
Xi Yu and Cheng Yu were moving forward quickly. Xi Yu said while rushing to the road: "There have been insect pests in another place before, and the people actually regard locusts as gods. This is really wrong."
Cheng Yu listened carefully, nodded from time to time, and said, "Yes, Prime Minister, this idea is indeed undesirable. We must let the people understand the truth."
The two of them rode their horses and ran quickly towards Pingshui Village, full of determination to help the people solve the problem.
Finally, Xi Yu and Cheng Yu arrived at the entrance of the village.
I saw a dilapidated temple there, and many people were kneeling there, praying devoutly to God to let the locusts leave quickly.
At this time, Li was anxiously shouting: "Don't do this, you should hunt and kill locusts!"
However, someone retorted: "This is a traitor!"
Li Zheng quickly said loudly: "There was a disaster somewhere before, and that's what the Prime Minister did!"
At this moment, Cheng Yu raised his voice and shouted loudly: "Li Zheng is right! The Prime Minister did this, and the Prime Minister has arrived!"
When everyone heard this, they all looked shocked, "Ah?" They all shouted in surprise, and then quickly looked at Xi Yu and Cheng Yu.
Someone stared at the eyes wide and said in disbelief: "The Prime Minister is here? Really?"
Some people's faces were full of doubt and curiosity, and they thought to themselves: Why did the Prime Minister suddenly appear here?
Li Zhengze looked surprised and hurriedly greeted Xi Yu and Cheng Yu, and said excitedly: "Greetings to the Prime Minister!"
His eyes were full of reverence and expectation, as if he had seen a savior.
Xi Yu's face was calm, he nodded slightly, and said, "Don't panic, everyone."
In his mind, he was thinking about how to better guide these people to correctly respond to the locust plague.
Cheng Yu also had a serious face, standing beside Xi Yu, looking at everyone with a firm look.
Xi Yu looked at everyone with a serious expression and said slowly: "Last time when I was exterminated locusts in another place, the people were against me at first, but I patiently did their work and reasoned with them." His face was full of memories, as if he had returned to that time.
The people listened quietly, with a look of thought on their faces, and their hearts seemed to be starting to shake.
Xi Yu paused, then struck while it was hot and said, "I came here today, which is also the meaning of God. This is God who asked me to help everyone eliminate insect plagues!"
At this time, the people looked at each other and some whispered: "Is what the Prime Minister said true?"
Li Zheng quickly said, "What the Prime Minister said is very true, we should believe the Prime Minister!"
Xi Yu looked at the reaction of the people and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and continued, "Everyone must believe that as long as we work together, we will definitely overcome this insect scourge!" His eyes revealed firmness and encouragement.
Xi Yu straightened his body, looked at everyone firmly, and said loudly: "The same thing is the case. If God wants to punish me, Xi Yu is willing to take it all!"
His face was full of determination, and a fearless courage was revealed in his eyes.
After hearing this, the people were shocked and they felt a little more admiration and trust in Xi Yu.
At this time, Xi Yu was like a towering mountain, standing firmly in front of everyone, bringing endless confidence and hope to everyone.
Xi Yu took a deep breath, his eyes became more and more firm. He raised his voice and said, "Friends, we must believe that man will conquer nature. As long as we work together, there will be no obstacles that cannot be overcome!" His face shining in the sun, full of majesty and confidence.
After hearing this, a warm current surged in the hearts of the people, and some people couldn't help but shout, "The Prime Minister is right, let's listen to the Prime Minister!"
Others also agreed, and the atmosphere on the scene became warm and full of fighting spirit.
Xi Yu nodded with satisfaction and continued: "From now on, we will take action. Men will hunt locusts, women will prepare tools and food, and everyone will divide the work and cooperate!" His words were concise and clear, but they had a strong appeal.
Cheng Yu looked at Xi Yu with admiration in his eyes. He stepped forward and said, "Prime Minister, I will do my best to help everyone!"
Under the leadership of Xi Yu, the people acted quickly. The originally panicked scene became orderly. Everyone devoted themselves to the battle against the locust plague with confidence, as if they had seen the dawn of victory waving in front of them.
It was not until dusk that the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the earth, covering everything with a golden coat.
Xi Yu looked at the scene in front of him and showed a gratified smile on his face. He sighed and said, "The locusts have basically been hunted down."
A hint of fatigue was revealed in his eyes, but more of the satisfaction after completing the task.
He thought to himself: This job is actually not difficult, the key is to make everyone change their minds.
The people were also full of joy and surrounded Xi Yu and said, "Prime Minister, thanks to you!"
Xi Yu smiled and waved his hand and said, "This is the result of everyone's joint efforts, thank you all for your hard work."
Cheng Yu was watching all this aside, and his heart was filled with emotion. He knew that Xi Yu had paid a lot for this moment.
At this time, the sunset was colorful in the sky, as if celebrating this victory.
Cheng Yu looked at the slightly tired Xi Yu and said with concern: "Prime Minister, hurry up and go back and rest." His eyes were filled with worry and heartache.
Xi Yu smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay, I'm really tired."
