Chapter 671 Delicious Indeed

They gritted their teeth, their eyes full of anger and determination, and rushed towards Xi Yu.

A young man rushed to Xi Yu first, raised the weapon in his hand, and shouted angrily: "Today we must make you responsible for the safety of the village!"

Xi Yu dodged and easily dodged the young man's attack.

At this moment, several black shadows flashed out like ghosts. It turned out to be Xi Yu's secret guard.

They were agile and instantly fought with several young people.

Xi Yu frowned slightly and shouted loudly: "Don't hurt them, just control them!"

Upon hearing this, the secret guards quickly changed their tactics and firmly restrained several young people with a few moves.

Several young people looked horrified at this moment, their eyes full of panic and disbelief.

Old man Nie walked out slowly at this time, shook his head, and said helplessly to several young people: "I told you to leave, but you just didn't listen!"

One of the young men gasped and said with regret on his face: "We are blind to Taishan. We didn't expect him to be so powerful!"

Another young man begged with tears in his eyes: "Hero, spare your life, we don't dare to do it anymore!"

Xi Yu held Tuobayu's hand tightly and left in a hurry.

The next day, government officials sent by the county magistrate walked into several villages with a menacing look.

The leader of the Yamen shouted at the top of his lungs: "Everyone, listen to me, you must cooperate with the Prime Minister, otherwise you will be killed without mercy!" His ferocious face made people shudder.

Chen Fugui and Madman Liu led a few people, holding tools in their hands, and walked towards the fields with serious faces.

Xi Yu and Tuo Bayu stood at the edge of the field, watching with vigilance.

As Chen Fugui walked away, he said to Crazy Liu: "We must not make any mistakes this time, otherwise we will not get any good results."

Madman Liu nodded, frowned and replied, "I know, just be careful!"

Xi Yu looked solemn and whispered to Tuobayu: "You must be careful and there can't be any omissions."

Tuobayu looked attentive and said softly "Hmm".

The clan leader woke up leisurely. When he learned that Xi Yu had arranged for people from the county government to enter by force, his face instantly turned pale and he closed his eyes in pain.

He sighed heavily and said with trembling lips: "That's it, that's all, I can't care about this anymore."

His eyes were full of helplessness and sorrow, and his originally straight back seemed to be bent at this moment, and his whole person looked extremely haggard and vicissitudes of life.

Many villagers gathered in their homes. The women covered their faces and cried, while the men were dejected.

An old woman wiped away her tears and said with sobs: "This Yu Yu is simply rebellious, and the gods will definitely punish him!"

A middle-aged man next to him clenched his fists and shouted angrily: "He will not end well if he behaves like this!"

Another villager looked desperate and murmured to himself: "God, open your eyes and punish this evil person!" Their faces were full of grief, anger and helplessness.

Chen Fugui and Madman Liu led everyone to work in the fields for a whole day.

Chen Fugui's face was full of exhaustion, and sweat kept flowing down his face. He straightened up, wiped off the sweat, looked at several bags full of locusts, and grinned: "Hey, we have gained a lot today!"

Madman Liu was also breathing heavily, but with a hint of relief on his face, he responded: "Yes, if this continues, a lot of this field can be saved."

A young man next to him said excitedly: "Thanks to our concerted efforts, we have controlled this locust!"

Crazy Liu patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't be too happy, you have to keep working harder!"

Everyone nodded, their eyes full of determination.

Chen Fugui looked at the fields that had become much quieter and said with emotion: "I hope it can continue like this so that our crops can have a good harvest."

Everyone continued to engage in the work of hunting locusts. Although they were tired, there was an unyielding energy on everyone's face.

At night, with the moonlight shining like water, Xi Yu walked into Chen Fugui's shop.

Chen Fugui was cleaning up the counter. When he saw Xi Yu coming in, he quickly stopped what he was doing, with a flattering smile on his face: "Sir, why are you here?"

Xi Yu looked serious and said straight to the point: "Chen Fugui, I want you to make the locusts you caught today into cooked food and sell them in the village tomorrow to attract people, but the price must be cheap."

Chen Fugui was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "Sir, can these locusts be sold?"

Xi Yu glared at him and said firmly: "You do what you are told. This is an order! As long as the price is cheap, people will try it."

Chen Fugui nodded quickly and responded solemnly: "Yes, yes, I understand, and I will definitely do it."

Xi Yu looked at his cautious look and said in a slower tone: "If you do this well, your benefits are indispensable."

Upon hearing this, Chen Fugui immediately showed a flattering smile on his face: "Thank you, sir. I will do my best, little one."

By the second day, the sun was shining brightly.

Chen Fugui and Madman Liu came to the village with several hired people carrying burdens.

The load was filled with steaming and fragrant cooked locusts.

Soon, their stall attracted many people to gather around.

A curious aunt pointed at the load and asked, "What is this?"

Chen Fugui smiled with a smile on his face and told the truth directly: "This is a locust, eldest sister."

When the aunt heard this, her face changed suddenly, as if she had seen a ghost, she backed away and shouted in horror: "Oh, locusts! How can you eat this!"

A bold young man next to him smelled the fragrance, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I'll give it a try." As he said that, he picked up a locust and put it in his mouth to chew.

Everyone looked at him nervously, but his eyes lit up and he said loudly: "It tastes really good!"

Others were hesitant after hearing this. A child pulled the corner of his mother's clothes and said, "Mom, I want to eat too."

His mother looked worried and said, "Can this be eaten? Don't cause any problems. Besides, locusts are divine insects."

At this time, a few brave people tried it one after another, and they all showed expressions of satisfaction and praised: "It's really good, why didn't I think of it before!"

Chen Fugui looked at the crowd gathered around him and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Fellow folks, these delicious locusts are cheap, a handful for a penny!"

Upon hearing this price, there was a commotion among the crowd. An old man wearing coarse clothes said with shining eyes: "So cheap? Then give me two!"

A woman next to me also said, "Give me some too, let me have a taste!"

More and more people began to rush to buy, and the previous fears and worries seemed to be suddenly thrown out of the sky.

A young guy took out the money and said with a smile: "I don't care if it's a magical insect or not, as long as it's delicious and cheap!"

Another old man also said happily: "Yes, it can fill your stomach and it is so affordable, so why bother with so much!"

Chen Fugui and Madman Liu were very busy, with joyful smiles on their faces, and kept weighing the locusts for everyone.

Soon, the locusts brought by Chen Fugui were sold out.

Chen Fugui wiped the sweat from his forehead, with an excited look on his face, and said loudly: "Fellow folks, the locusts we brought today are all sold out! If you are still willing to buy them, you can go to my store to buy them! "

Someone in the crowd responded: "Okay, Boss Chen, I'll talk to the neighbors when I get back!"

An aunt said with a smile: "These locusts are so popular, I have to ask more people to buy them."

Chen Fugui nodded repeatedly, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you all very much!"

Everyone dispersed while talking, preparing to go back to promote this novel and affordable delicacy.

Gradually, the news spread like wildfire that locusts have become a delicacy.

Chen Fugui's shop was crowded and lively.

"Boss, give me two locusts!" a young and strong young man said eagerly.

Chen Fugui responded and packed it quickly: "Okay, take it!"

However, not far outside the store, several elderly people gathered together, shaking their heads and sighing.

"How unbecoming is this? Eating locusts is simply a sign of depravity!" A white-haired old man frowned with disapproval on his face.

Another old man on crutches echoed: "That's right, if you continue like this, you will be punished by God!"

They looked at the lively scene in the store, their eyes full of worry and helplessness.

Xi Yu and Tuo Bayu stayed quietly in the room. Tuo Bay Yu looked at Xi Yu expectantly and asked, "Xi Yu, can I leave?"

Xi Yu frowned slightly, thought for a moment and then said, "Wait a few more days."

Old man Nie was walking alone in the yard, when Xi Yu came out. When Old Man Nie saw him, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "This time, you have offended the people."

Xi Yu's expression was firm and there was no hint of flinching in his eyes, and he said calmly: "It doesn't matter. Although the people may scold me in the past two days, they will be able to cultivate the land soon."

Old man Nie shook his head helplessly and sighed: "Oh, I hope it's as you said."

Things were exactly as Xi Yu said.

On this day, the sun shines on the fertile land, and many people carry farm tools and come to the fields with joy on their faces.

A middle-aged man looked at the vast fields, grinned and said to his companions: "Hey, I never thought I would be able to farm again!"

The companion wiped the sweat from his forehead, his eyes full of hope, and responded: "Yes, you have to work hard and strive for a good harvest this year!"

A young daughter-in-law bent down, carefully tidying up the land, and muttered: "Now it's better, we have hope for the future!"

In the distance, an old man looked at the busy people, smiled happily, and said to himself: "God bless me, I can finally farm."

Everyone was working hard and chatting happily, and the fields were full of vitality and hope.

On the other side, in the county government office, the county magistrate was giving orders to his officers with a serious face.

The county magistrate paced back and forth with his hands behind his back and said loudly: "Listen to me, according to Master Xiyu's instructions, we have to publicize everywhere that locusts are not gods at all, and anything that hinders farmers from farming must be stopped! "

The officers stood in a row respectfully and responded in unison: "Yes, sir!"

The county magistrate stopped, glanced at everyone sternly, and continued: "Cheer up, everyone. If you get this done, you will be rewarded! If you fail, don't blame me for being rude!"

One of the officers asked cautiously: "Sir, what should I do if someone doesn't listen to my advice?"

The county magistrate frowned and snorted coldly: "Don't listen to the advice? Then arrest him and teach him a lesson!"

After saying that, the county magistrate waved his hand, and the officers hurried away under the orders, preparing to go to various places to publicize.

The police officers dispersed to various streets and alleys, shouting propaganda at the top of their lungs.

A guard stood in the market and shouted to the bustling crowd: "Listen, everyone, locusts are not gods, and we cannot let them hinder our farming!" His face was full of seriousness and determination.

Some people in the crowd were whispering to each other, and an old man asked doubtfully: "Are you really not a god?"

The officer quickly walked up to the old man and said seriously: "Old man, this is absolutely true. The Prime Minister said that we must farm the land quickly and we cannot be delayed by this unfounded statement!"

A young man next to him nodded and said, "I think so. We have to live our lives. We can't stop farming just because we are afraid."

Seeing that someone was agreeing, the officer shouted even more enthusiastically: "Yes! We can't tolerate anything that hinders farming!"

After listening to this, people gradually showed thoughtful expressions on their faces, and seemed to begin to accept this statement.

A few days later, the fields were covered with new green, and people happily planted their fields.

Under the big tree in the village, several villagers gathered together to chat.

"Hey, you said life flies by so fast. The fields are all planted." A strong man said with a smile, a look of satisfaction on his face.

"Yes, those conflicts with the Prime Minister before, now that I think about it, they are all over." An old man smoked a pipe and said slowly.

A woman next to him continued: "That's right. We can't always hold on to the past. It's a good thing if we can plant this field."

Everyone nodded one after another, and there was no longer the dissatisfaction and resentment in their eyes, replaced by expectations and longing for the future.

On this day, the sun shines softly on the earth.

Xi Yu and Tuo Bayu packed their bags and prepared to leave.

They came to Old Man Nie. Xi Yu took out some money from his arms, handed it to Old Man Nie, and said, "Old Man Nie, take this money."

Old man Nie waved his hands quickly and declined: "No, no, I feel honored that you are here, how can I accept this money." His face was full of determination.

Xi Yu smiled slightly, with a sincere and firm look in his eyes. He thrust the money into Old Man Nie's hand again and said, "Just accept it. This is our little wish."

Tuobayu also advised from the side: "Old man Nie, don't shirk it, accept the money and improve your life."

Old Man Nie looked at them, his eyes full of emotion. He hesitated for a moment, and finally accepted the money. His voice was choked and he said, "Okay, thank you, and I wish you a safe journey."

Xi Yu and Tuoba Yu had just left Old Man Nie's house when they suddenly found many people standing in the dark outside.

The one at the front was the clan leader, with a solemn look on his face and gratitude in his eyes.

When the patriarch saw Xi Yu coming out, he took a step forward and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister, we heard that you were leaving, so we came here to see you off. During this time, everyone also realized how ridiculous we were before. It was you who saved us. Us!"

The patriarch's voice trembled slightly, and his face was full of guilt and respect.

Xi Yu looked at everyone and said with a smile: "It's good if everyone understands. If you farm well from now on, life will get better and better." His eyes were gentle but firm.

A young junior in the crowd blushed and said, "Your Majesty, Prime Minister, we were ignorant and misunderstood you before. Your Majesty, please don't take it to heart."

Xi Yu laughed heartily and said: "It's over now, let's live a good life from now on!"

At this time, an old man stepped forward, with tears in his eyes, and said, "Your kindness will never be forgotten by us!"

The people nodded one after another, their faces full of sincerity and reluctance.

Xi Yu and Tuo Bayu got on their horses and prepared to set off.

Tuobayu turned to look at the people behind him and said with emotion: "They are so sincere, which makes me a little reluctant to leave."

Xi Yu looked firmly ahead and said, "We'll say goodbye. I hope their lives will get better and better."

The people stood there, following them closely with their eyes.

The clan leader clasped his hands into fists and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister, take care along the way!"

Xi Yu and Tuo Bayu waved their hands, then grabbed the horse's belly and flew away in the dust.

The people still stood there for a long time, watching their figures disappear into the distance.

The sound of horse hooves gradually faded away, but the people still looked longingly at the end of the road where they could no longer see their figures.

A young man murmured to himself: "I don't know if I will have the chance to see them again in the future." His eyes were full of nostalgia and longing.

An old man next to him sighed and said, "As long as we live a good life, it will be the greatest reward for them."

Everyone nodded one after another, with a firm look in their eyes.

After a long time, the crowd slowly dispersed, still talking about how good Xi Yu and Tuo Bayu were.

At this time, Xi Yu and Tuo Bayu were riding horses, facing the breeze. Tuo Bayu said with a smile: "This experience is unforgettable."

Xi Yu raised his head slightly and said, "I hope we can leave hope everywhere we go."

Their figures gradually faded away in the afterglow of the setting sun, becoming a warm memory in this land.

At this time, the afterglow of the setting sun coated the earth with a layer of golden color, and the figures of Xi Yu and Tuo Bayu looked more determined in this light.

Tuobayu's hair fluttered gently in the breeze. He looked back at the direction he came from and sighed: "I wonder if those people will really be able to live a stable life in the future."

Xi Yu looked straight ahead with firm eyes and said confidently: "As long as they work hard, they will definitely succeed."

The two continued to gallop, their horses' hooves raising clouds of dust.

The village in the distance became smaller and smaller in their sight. Tuoba Yu took a deep breath and said, "I hope everything we do can make this world more beautiful."

"Yes, as long as we have good intentions, the world will get better one day." (End of this chapter)
