Just one pregnancy and four babies, but the prince actually pledged his love to her

Chapter 290 Villagers Come to Support

Zheng Shao and the five county magistrates all looked in the direction of Li Mengyue's eyes, and saw a group of people walking towards them.

Soon, Village Chief Li, six village heads, the women who worked in the Li family, and the people who followed Li Mengyue to the mountain to find water came to Li Mengyue.

"Grandpa Village Chief, thank you for your hard work."

"Girl Yue, our hard work is nothing. If it weren't for you, I don't know what would happen to the village."

"Miss Li, we are not afraid of hard work or fatigue. Just let us do any work you want." Taohua Village Chief Wang was unwilling to lag behind and expressed his opinion immediately.

The village chief Ji of Shitou Village said firmly: "Yes, Miss Li, we will do whatever you say, without any hesitation."

Then the village heads of Lianhua Village, Guihua Village, Meihua Village, Shitou Village, and Zhoujia Village expressed their attitudes in front of Li Mengyue on behalf of their own villages.

Although Li Mengyue is just an unmarried girl, they are still willing to listen to her.

After all, in the past two months, they have all realized the importance of Li Mengyue to the seven villages.

The seven village heads knew very well that the village could do without a village head, but it could not cut off its connection with Li Mengyue.

Not only must the connection not be severed, but a way must also be found to tie the village firmly to Li Mengyue.

Only in this way will they have the nerve to continue following Li Mengyue's pace and work hard, and only in this way will they have the opportunity to live a life with enough food and clothing.

As for getting rich, they have never really thought about it. You have to know that their ancestors have been living a life of hunger and cold, and it is already very successful for them to get rid of it, and they dare not think about more.

Therefore, they learned that Li Mengyue led a large army of ducks to Lanlong County to help kill locusts.

After dealing with matters in the village, he gathered people and rushed to Lanlong County.

Judging from the situation, the locust plague in Lanlong County is over, and the next step is to deal with post-disaster matters.

"Miss Li, if you need any help, just let me know."

"Village Chief Zhou, each of you should take your men to collect the locusts."

"okay!"

So the villagers from the seven villages took the initiative to maintain order and piled the collected locusts together.

Then Li Mengyue looked at Zheng Shao.

"Zheng County Magistrate, I would like to borrow a few large pots from you first."

"sure, no problem."

When Zheng Shao saw a group of people coming from Wuning County, he only had eyes for Miss Li. He once again had a deeper understanding of Li Mengyue's appeal and changed his inherent prejudice against women.

Although he didn't know what Li Mengyue wanted the big pot for, he didn't mind cooperating.

Just a few big pots, nothing expensive.

Soon Jiang Zhong and his men brought five large pots from the city. Without Li Mengyue's instructions, the young and middle-aged men from the seven villages took advantage of the current conditions and quickly set up simple stoves.

"Grandma Li, take the people to make fried locusts."

"it is good!"

Zhou Juan immediately led Goudan's mother, Dazhu's mother, Li Yan's mother, Beibei's mother, and Li Lingling to move oil, salt, and seasonings from the carriage and arranged everything in an orderly manner.

"Women who can cook, come over and help."

"I'll come, I'll come!"

When the people from the seven villages heard this, they put down their work and ran over quickly.

Without being told, he began to wash his face and hands carefully.

Zheng Shao, Jiang Zhong and the five county magistrates did not quite understand it at first, but if they still did not understand it now, they would have lived in vain for so many years.

Does Miss Li want someone to cook here?

But I also felt that this idea was too outrageous. After all, if you set up a pot to cook in a place full of locust corpses and juice, no matter what you make, you won’t be able to eat it!

Li Mengyue didn't know what the county magistrates were thinking, she had more important things to do.

Unlike ordinary locusts, people in later times all know that locusts in a locust plague will release the volatile compound benzyl cyanide, which will be converted into the highly toxic compound hydrocyanic acid once attacked.

Eating unprocessed locusts can easily cause symptoms such as diarrhea, dizziness, lack of energy, difficulty breathing, and convulsions.

Normally, during locust plagues, people should not eat locusts to avoid poisoning.

But she is not in the post-era now, where material things are not abundant and there is not even enough to eat.

And we cannot rule out the possibility that there are many people like the Li family’s old house, who, despite being clearly notified of a locust plague, refused to bring their rice home, only to have it eaten up by the locusts.

In this case, no one will care about so many things, and some people will definitely want to eat locusts. However, once they eat unprocessed locusts, they can easily get poisoned.

Rather than letting people get poisoned by food, it is better to solve the problem from the root.

You should know that locusts have high nutritional value, are rich in protein and carbohydrates, have soft and tender meat, and taste similar to shrimp.

In addition, pesticides are not used in this era, so even the locusts in a locust plague will not carry many harmful bacteria and viruses, causing more diseases to people.

Another point is that the productivity of the entire Zhou Dynasty was low, and the entire population had not yet been able to have enough food and clothing, and the poor people generally lacked nutrition.

Locusts contain many trace elements such as calcium, iron, zinc and selenium, which can replenish nutrients for people's bodies when eaten.

In the eyes of doctors, locusts not only have the effect of warming the stomach, strengthening the stomach and helping digestion, but also can dispel wind and relieve cough. How can such a good thing be missed?

Li Mengyue ignored the different thoughts of the people, but picked up the knife, cut open the locust's belly neatly, quickly squeezed out the internal organs, and threw it into a basin of clean water sprinkled with salt.

When Zhou Juan and others saw Li Mengyue's actions, they squatted down without hesitation and followed Li Mengyue to quickly deal with the locusts.

The people who were dealing with the locusts didn't think anything was wrong, but Zheng Shao, the five county magistrates, Zhong Sen, and Jiang Zhong all changed their expressions drastically when they saw this scene.

Especially since Sun Biao had a poor appetite, he was already vomiting all over the place.

The locusts had already caused him to vomit blood, which had already caused great damage to his body and he needed to take good care of himself.

As a result, without even a moment's rest, he rushed to Wuning County with several county magistrates.

After experiencing a locust plague in Wuning County, I rushed to Lanlong County. I was so tired that I couldn't speak.

At this moment, under the stimulation of Li Mengyue dealing with the locusts, he couldn't bear it and fainted.

"Master Sun, Master Sun, what's wrong with you?"

"Doctor, go call the doctor."

Li Mengyue was concentrating on dealing with locusts when she heard a scream. She looked up and saw Zheng Shao and Wu Zhen supporting Lord Sun.

Not to mention that she had a good impression of Lord Sun. Even if a stranger she had never met fell down in front of her, she would still lend a hand to save him under the spur of the 100 million gratitude points mission.

Li Mengyue quickly washed her hands and said sincerely, "Let me see."

Zheng Shao saw that it was Miss Li and did not think that Li Mengyue had the medical skills to save the person, so he did not give the person to Li Mengyue, but waited for the doctor to come.

However, Li Mengyue saw that Sun Biao looked very bad. If she delayed any longer, she might not be able to wait for the doctor to come.

However, Zheng Shao thought that Li Mengyue was too young and a girl and could not possibly know medical skills, so he insisted on waiting for a doctor.

Li Mengyue didn't like to force others, so she retracted her outstretched hand and directed the villagers to deal with the locusts.

However, although Li Mengyue failed to make a successful move, her attention was always on Sun Biao.

The doctor came soon.

After a while, the doctor took Sun Biao's pulse and said with a heavy face: "Sir Zheng, the patient's pulse is weak and he is about to die. My medical skills are limited and I cannot save him."

Upon hearing this, not only Zheng Shao, but also Wu Zhen, the magistrates of Huangyao, Shuimo and Gugang could not believe it.
