Chapter 209: Chapter 211: Racing against Time to Snatch 1

All those pests had suddenly disappeared all at once?!

Suddenly, an old man knelt in the mud without any warning, his eyes welled up with tears as he excitedly cried out, "The Heavens have mercy!!"

Following suit, the rest of the village also fell to their knees in gratitude.

"Thank you, Heaven, for saving us from this plague."

"Thank you, Heaven, thank you so much!"

With tears of joy streaming down their faces, the villagers’ gratitude kept rising in volume. After all, their livelihood depended on their crops!

If the rice had been destroyed by locusts this year, many would definitely not have made it through the winter.

Ma Xiulian also fell to her knees in gratitude. But on her face, along with a devout expression, there was a hint of pride and satisfaction that was not readily apparent.

The Heavens must have had pity on her Guibao and could not bear to see him suffer hunger, and that’s why they bestowed mercy and killed all the locusts.

Zhao Mancao, as the team leader, felt much emotional turmoil in his heart. He could not fathom any other reason for why the locusts had suddenly all died except for divine intervention.

Yet even so, he couldn’t afford to kneel. He had to shout to bring everyone back to work, "Don’t let your guard down! More locusts may fly in from elsewhere. We still need to harvest the rice as quickly as possible!"

Upon hearing this, everyone tensed up and immediately picked up their tools to start working again.

The most important thing right now was to harvest the rice. Although the locusts had all just died, what if there was another wave like the leader said?

But at least now they weren’t as terrified and panicked as before.

As the tension eased, the pain in Li Chunhua’s stomach became intense. She grabbed Zhao Mei who was nearby, "Sister-in-law, hurry... I’m going into labor,"

"Chunhua!"

Chen Jianye ran over to her in three quick strides, ready to pick her up, only to be rebuked by Ma Xiulian, "What can you, as a man, do here? Stop crowding around. Just go harvest the grains."

After speaking, she turned to Zhao Mei and Zhou Zhaodi, "Two of you, help her back home quickly. I’ll go home first and heat up some water."

Zhao Mei and Zhou Zhaodi didn’t hesitate, they picked up Li Chunhua and carried her home.

They were used to hard farm work and it was no trouble at all for them to carry Chunhua, who weighed just over a hundred pounds, back home.

On the other side, Gu Tingyun was dumbfoundedly looking at the locust bodies surrounding him, "I killed them all?"

He couldn’t even begin to comprehend what had just occurred.

Helian Qiao leaned in and coyly praised, "Yes, you were so amazing!"

She then hastily added, "But I’ll be even more amazing than you in the future."

Seeing a single grain of rice stuck to her bright, rosy lips, Tangyun subconsciously took a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped it off for her.

"You had a grain of rice there."

Upon hearing his words, Helian remembered that she had only managed to have two bites before rushing out to drive away the pests.

So, puffing out her cheeks, she sulkily complained, "I blame those damn bugs. I didn’t even get to finish my meal because of them."

Tingyun then took her hand, "Then let’s go back home and finish your meal."

He temporarily shelved his inner confusion and doubts.

Meanwhile, Sanni, who had witnessed the entire event, was still in a daze.

She had seen it very clearly. The locusts had started falling in circles around Guibao and Gu Tingyun.

Thinking back to the locusts lying all over the courtyard, her heart began to race.

Her grandmother often said that Guibao was a little fairy from heaven who had been born into their family. Could her sister truly be a fairy descended from heaven?!
