Chapter 300: Can I See You Again?

Hearing the news of the porridge distribution, the disaster victims cheered at once.

"Prince, you truly are our savior."

"Many thanks to the Prince of Northern Suppression, you have saved us all."

"With the Prince in Daliang, it will surely become even stronger in the future."

Xiao Moting lowered his eyelashes and spoke softly.

"Thank you, Bai."

Although he knew Bai Wei could not hear him, he still had to say this "many thanks."

Just as the disaster victims were cheering and jumping for joy, Bai Wei also quietly came over and saw this scene.

The swarm of insects in the sky almost scared her silly.

The pitch-black swarm of locusts was practically like the end of the world.

Since she was born, Bai Wei had never seen a locust swarm; as soon as she looked up and saw the swarm blotting out the sky and sun, her trypophobia was practically about to flare up.

Although she had only come over in consciousness, her original body was still left in Qingshan Village "sleeping."

But even so, she still felt her hair stand on end and goosebumps rise all over her body.

Bai Wei lowered her head and saw that quite a few dead locusts had also fallen on the ground.

These locusts were longer than a finger; they were simply too big!

Their bodies were a mottled gray, and they had sharp mouthparts.

These weren't bugs at all; they were practically monsters!

If these locust swarms were allowed to invade the city, the common people inside would certainly suffer countless casualties.

Fortunately, Xiao Moting had lit several walls of fire and splashed them with alcohol, causing the fire to spread and burn more than half of the swarm to death, temporarily resolving the crisis.

This group of locusts had been burned to death, but there were still swarms in the nearby villages.

After watching for a while, Bai Wei immediately returned to the modern era.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she ran to the truck.

The owner of the agricultural supply store had already, as agreed, loaded the insecticide, sprayers, protective clothing... all into the truck bed, filling the entire vehicle.

Bai Wei immediately transported these supplies to Daliang.

"Xiao Moting, these are medicines to kill the locusts. Take them and distribute them to everyone, and have them spray the insecticide everywhere."

"When the locusts come into contact with this insecticide, they will die."

Xiao Moting received the insecticide and immediately opened a barrel, pouring it into a sprayer.

Many of the locusts in the air had been burned to death.

But there were still many scattered insects flying around everywhere.

Many insects, tired from flying, landed on grass leaves, the ground, trees... to rest and conserve energy, preparing to forage again.

Qin Zhan put on the protective clothing, wrapping himself from head to toe, with a transparent mask on his face.

He carried the sprayer filled with insecticide on his back and used the nozzle to approach a clump of withered grass nearby, *whoosh*, spraying out a sheet of chemical agent.

There had originally been a few smaller locusts perched on the withered grass, but as soon as the medicine was sprayed, these locusts all fell to the ground as if they were drunk.

Some died on the spot, while others struggled on their backs, clearly not going to live much longer.

Qin Zhan was overjoyed, "The divine medicine sent by Shennü Daren is truly effective; it killed the locusts in an instant."

The crowd around them also looked on in amazement.

"This medicine is really good; the bugs die as soon as they touch it."

Xiao Moting immediately distributed the insecticide to the soldiers.

He strictly carried out Bai Wei's orders.

"Everyone, put on your Protective Suit and go to the various villages to spray the insecticide everywhere."

"Be careful, these insecticides have a certain toxicity; you must be careful not to let them get on your bodies."

Although the swarm here had been mostly wiped out by the flames.

But in the various villages far away, there were still swarms wreaking havoc.

Relying solely on burning the swarms with fire could not cover everything, and it was especially consuming of fuel and white liquor.

Although the insecticide was a bit slower to take effect, it could kill the insects thoroughly.

With the crisis in the city resolved, Xiao Moting led his troops into the city and stayed there temporarily.

He could not leave until the locust plague was eradicated.

Locusts had a very strong reproductive capacity; if they were not completely wiped out, one swarm could quickly develop into an even larger swarm.

The crops in the farmland of Beijiang had just grown, and the nearby villagers had also just sown their seeds.

If the swarms flew to Beijiang, that would truly be troublesome.

The Prince of Northern Suppression had arrived in person, and General Liu, who was guarding the city, dared not be negligent and settled the group in the camp.

The night grew deep.

Xiao Moting walked to the window, his mind filled with a thousand thoughts.

He still remembered the last time he was here with Bai Wei, strolling through the streets and buying things.

Everything seemed like it was yesterday.

It was just that while this scene remained unchanged, the person was no longer here.

Since those days, he had missed Bai Wei every moment, but he could only keep all this longing suppressed in his heart.

Daliang Kingdom was too unsettled; it was not safe for her to come here.

He murmured to himself in a low voice.

"Bai, will I be able to see you again?"

……

Dawn had broken.

Bai Wei got up in the morning and went to the field to pick some greens, preparing to cook noodles to eat.

The greens were grown in the field without chemical fertilizers, making them exceptionally fresh and tender.

She saw Chen Ming working in the field and greeted him with a smile.

"A Ming, you haven't eaten yet, right? I'm picking some vegetables; let's cook some noodles together."

Chen Ming straightened his back, agreed happily, and then ran over.

He held a few eggs in his hand and shoved them into Bai Wei's hand.

"The chickens I raised, boil... boil a few eggs."

Bai Wei looked up in surprise and discovered that in the corner of the Farm, a simple chicken coop had actually been built out of firewood.

Seven or eight barred Plymouth Rock chickens were foraging in the field.

She was usually busy and hadn't noticed that there were a few more chickens on the Farm.

"A Ming, did you raise these?"

"Yeah." Chen Ming looked proud. "I, I saw that the area over there was empty land, and I didn't want to waste it, so I caught a few chickens to raise."

Bai Wei said happily, "A Ming, you are truly capable."

Praised by Bai Wei, Chen Ming also grinned, revealing a happy smile.

He had been working on the Farm the whole time, and because his brain didn't work well, he had always been mocked outside.

Only Bai Wei was willing to let him work and even praised him for being capable.

Bai Wei took the vegetables and eggs into the kitchen, tinkered for a while, and soon brought out two bowls of steaming hot scallion noodles.

The noodles, glistening with oil, were sprinkled with bright green scallions, and each bowl had two poached eggs hidden underneath, the fragrance hitting the nose.

"A Ming, come quickly and eat your noodles."

The two of them squatted under the eaves, holding their noodle bowls, and began to eat without even raising their heads.

As Bai Wei ate the noodles, she thought of the disaster victims she had seen in the Daliang Kingdom.

The common people of the ancient Daliang Kingdom were often short of clothing and food.

The people of Daliang were too miserable; they usually went from one hungry meal to the next, every one of them sallow and emaciated. Even in good years with favorable weather, the farmers could only be said to have barely filled their stomachs. Foods like eggs, pork, and refined flour... were simply luxuries to these commoners.

For example, this bowl of scallion noodles with poached eggs she was eating now was something the people of Daliang couldn't even eat during the New Year.

The common people scrimped and saved, yet the Imperial Court was extravagantly wasteful; the Emperor even specially dispatched a crack troop, wasting time and money, just to transport a few carts of mangoes.

Bai Wei thought to herself, if Xiao Moting became Emperor, perhaps he could change this situation.

Soon, the two finished their noodles.

Chen Ming collected the bowls and volunteered to wash the pot.

Bai Wei walked to the front of the Warehouse.

The repaired Warehouse was still empty inside; there were no supplies stored within.

This massive Warehouse was her space.
