Tang Jinghong walked out of the tent and instructed the soldiers. After the soldiers received the order, they immediately took action.

Soon, this large area was filled with thin smoke, and it was as if there was a layer of gauze around it.

In the distance, the locusts slowly appeared.

The refugees did not know about the plague of locusts. When they saw the locusts flying over, they were terrified.

“Ahhh, locusts, locusts…”

“It’s really locusts!”

“Why are there locusts? There’s already nothing to eat.”

Some old people wiped their tears. Why did disasters befall them one after another? It was fine if they died, but there were so many children. What should they do?

“Wah, wah, wah…” Some children were so frightened that they cried. Their parents quickly went to coax them.

The young men stared blankly at the sky in front of them. Their eyes were red. This was definitely an insult to injury!

Chu Qingzhi walked to the front of the tent and looked at the locusts that were slowly approaching. She gently licked her cherry-colored lips. Fried locusts were definitely delicious.

The sorrowful and despairing refugees quickly stopped grieving. They saw the locusts flying over and falling to the ground like rain. As long as they came into contact with the thin layer of smoke, they would fall.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Chu Qingzhi said, “Everyone, listen to me. Those locusts can treat the disease. Go and pick some up and fry them in the four large pots in front of me. I guarantee that you will recover after you eat them.”

“We believe Miss Chu’s words. Let’s go and pick up the locusts. It’s been a long time since we ate meat. Let’s have a feast today.”

“That’s right. Miss Chu will definitely not lie to us.”

“I’m going too.”

The refugees quickly ran towards the place where the locusts had fallen.

The first person to pick up the locust was the young man who secretly informed Chu Qingzhi that some people wanted to kill her. His name was Li Zhangjie, and he picked up at least six to seven catties.

Those locusts covered the ground layer upon layer and there were a lot of them.

Li Zhangjie said in embarrassment, “Sister Qingzhi, there are many people in my family, so 1 picked up more.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled at him. “It’s okay. Throw them into the pot. They’ll be ready in a while.”

After the locusts were thrown into the pot, the oil immediately bubbled and emitted a sizzling sound, followed by a fragrance.

Li Zhangjie looked at her intently. “Sister Qingzhi, it smells so good.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled and said, “Fried locusts are very delicious.”

Li Zhangjie asked carefully, “Have you ever tried it?”

Chu Qingzhi nodded. “Yes, I’ve eaten a lot of them. Don’t worry, if it’s bad for you, I won’t let you eat it.”

Li Zhangjie looked at Chu Qingzhi with admiration. “Sister Qingzhi, you’re the most powerful girl I’ve ever seen.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled. “You’re also very smart. Thank you for reminding me last time.”

Li Zhangjie quickly waved his hand. “That’s what 1 should do. You saved me and my family. 1 can’t bite the hand that feeds me.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled and was a little touched. She had traveled thousands of miles to save people and definitely hoped that people would appreciate her help. This young man in front of her was not bad.

As they talked, more and more people came to line up to fry the locusts. The fragrance slowly spread, and smiles gradually appeared on their faces.

Li Zhangjie’s locusts had already been fried until they were golden and crispy. When they were scooped into the strainer, there was a crisp sound.

Chu Qingzhi said to the soldiers who were helping, “Give them some salt.”

“Yes, Miss Chu.”

The soldier grabbed some salt and sprinkled it on the golden-brown locusts. With a few more shakes, every locust would be coated with salt.

Li Zhangjie happily returned to his tent with his father.

The second pot continued to sizzle…

On the other side, Li Zhangjie placed the strainer on the ground and the family ate happily. There were children beside them, so they gave the children some. Anyway, there were endless locusts to eat. It didn’t matter.

Li Zhangjie’s sister was a little afraid at first, but she couldn’t stand the mouth-watering fragrance, so she tried to eat one.

As soon as she ate one, she couldn’t stop herself from stuffing more into her mouth. She said, “Brother, this is delicious.”

Mrs. Li echoed, “I think it’s delicious too.”

“Then I’ll go and pick up some more later.” Li Zhangjie turned to look at Chu Qingzhi, who was standing beside the pot. “Sister Qingzhi is the best. Not only did she help us find a cure, but she also found food. If not for her, we might not have survived. If I can, I want to repay her.”

Mr. Li patted Li Zhangjie’s shoulder. “I support you.”

Mrs. Li also said, “I support you too.”

More and more people had a taste of the crispy locusts. The crispy texture made everyone feel that they had eaten a supreme delicacy.

“It’s delicious.”

“I didn’t expect the locust to taste so good after being fried.”

“Oh my gosh, I can’t believe the taste.”

“Let’s go pick up some more later and save them for the next meal.”

Just like that, the epidemic was resolved, and the locust plague was resolved. There was a rare burst of laughter in the entire refugee gathering place.

In the tent, Tang Jinghong hugged Chu Qingzhi tightly. “Qingzhi, I don’t know what to say to express my gratitude.”

A smile appeared on Chu Qingzhi’s face. “1 understand even if you don’t say it.”

At this moment, Tang Jinghong’s heart was filled with excitement, joy, love, and gratitude.

At this moment, Shen Yufeng’s voice came from outside the tent. “General.”

“Wait a moment,” Tang Jinghong said to the outside. Then, he let go of Chu Qingzhi. “Rest first. I’ll go out and take a look.”

Chu Qingzhi said, “Alright, I’m indeed a little tired.”

Tang Jinghong walked to the table and picked up a small box under the table for Chu Qingzhi. “I specially got someone to buy this for you. It’s all the young lady’s favorite. Take a look.”

Chu Qingzhi had received many such surprises. “Okay.”

Tang Jinghong touched the top of Chu Qingzhi’s head dotingly. “I’ll go out first.”

Chu Qingzhi nodded.

Tang Jinghong walked out of the tent and brought Shen Yufeng to the side.

“Have you tracked the whereabouts of the grains?”

“1 did,” Shen Yufeng said excitedly. “General, fortunately, you foresaw this in advance. Otherwise, I would have become a great sinner.”

When Tang Jinghong heard Shen Yufeng’s words, he knew that he had really found the carts. “Did you find anything else?”

Shen Yufeng handed the jade pendant he had picked up in the cave to Tang Jinghong. “General, 1 found this in the cave. I guess it belongs to the mastermind.”

Tang Jinghong looked down at the jade pendant. It was extremely white and of excellent quality. The carvings were lifelike and very precious. “Most likely.”

“Go and rest first. i’ll send someone to investigate the jade pendant.”

“Yes, General.”

Shen Yufeng took two steps before coming back and asking, “General, what are they eating?”

Tang Jinghong pointed in the direction of the pot. “You’ll know when you see it.”

Shen Yufeng walked over curiously..
