Tuoba Yu's eyes were full of trust, and he patted Yu Yu's shoulder and encouraged: "Husband, you are so wise, there must be a way to convince the patriarch."

After hearing this, Xi Yu frowned, his face full of worries, and shook his head and said, "It's not that simple. It's not easy to reason with the people, especially when they are so superstitious."

Tuoba Yu looked at him with insufficient confidence, held his shoulders with both hands and said seriously: "But you have always been resourceful, and I believe this time is no exception."

Xi Yu sighed, still hesitating in his eyes: "I hope, it's just this...hey."

Tuoba Yu looked at Xi Yu and asked in his eyes: "Husband, are we going to live in a farmer's house next?"

Xi Yu nodded slightly, looking a little tired.

So they began to walk towards the farmers' homes.

Along the way, the two looked around and finally stopped in front of a slightly dilapidated house.

Xi Yu stepped forward and knocked on the door. After the door opened, an old man with gray hair appeared in front of him.

Xi Yu quickly clasped his fists and said politely: "Old man, we want to stay here, this is a little bit of intention." As he said that, he took out the money.

Old Man Nie waved his hand with a simple smile on his face: "It's just that you stay here for one night, there's no need to ask for money."

Xi Yu hurriedly explained: "Old man, we may stay for several days."

Old Man Nie laughed heartily: "That doesn't matter. It's not easy to go out, come in quickly!"

In this way, Xi Yu settled down at Old Man Nie's house.

At night, the dim lights in the house swayed, and several people sat together.

Xi Yu's face was solemn, and he mentioned the harm of locusts.

"Old Man Nie, the disaster of this locust is really serious."

When the old man Nie heard this, he sighed heavily, his weathered face was full of sorrow, and he said helplessly: "No, this year's locusts are simply demons, and they have made the crops look distorted."

Xi Yu frowned and said angrily: "But just relying on blessings can't solve the problem."

Old Man Nie shook his head, his eyes filled with confusion and helplessness: "What can I do? The common people have no choice but to pray in the temple every day, hoping that the locusts can leave quickly and bless us with food."

But Xi Yu immediately looked firm and said firmly, "It is impossible to let the locusts leave by praying alone, and action must be taken!"

When the old man Nie heard this, he looked shocked and asked anxiously: "What's going on?"

Xi Yu looked serious and said without hesitation that the idea of ​​eliminating the locusts was revealed.

After hearing this, Old Man Nie was so scared that his face turned pale. He jumped up suddenly, his hands trembled constantly, and shouted in horror: "It's not possible, it's not possible! Locusts are gods, and they can't move, and they will be punished!"

Seeing that Old Man Nie was shaken, Xi Yu struck while the iron was hot, squatted down, looked at Old Man Nie sincerely, and said slowly: "Old Man Nie, think about it carefully, if we keep sitting like this and waiting for the so-called god to save it, then our fields will be completely destroyed. How can we live in the future?"

Old Man Nie raised his head, and the wrinkles on his face looked deeper due to entanglement. His lips trembled and said, "But...if you irritate the god..."

Tuoba Yu then said, "Old man, no god will watch us suffer but ignore it. These locusts are ordinary pests, and we have a way to deal with them!"

Xi Yu nodded heavily, clenched his fists with both hands, and said firmly: "Old man, you believe us once. As long as everyone works together, they will definitely drive away the locusts and save our crops!"

Old Man Nie looked at their firm expressions, and the fear in his eyes was gradually replaced by a glimmer of hope, but hesitated and said, "Is this... really possible?"

Xi Yu stood up, pulled Old Man Nie up, and said with a bright look: "Old man, it will definitely work! We can no longer be bound by such superstitious ideas."

Old Man Nie sighed and said slowly: "Okay, then I'll listen to you. I hope I can really drive away these locusts that harm people."

Xi Yu frowned and said worriedly: "The patriarch may not agree, nor do you agree."

Old Man Nie looked solemn, nodded and said, "That's true. To be honest, although I agreed, I didn't agree in my heart."

Xi Yu looked firm and clenched his fists tightly and said, "I will definitely find a way to convince everyone!"

Old Man Nie sighed helplessly and said, "Then you stay here first."

After a while, Old Man Nie went out.

Tuoba Yu looked puzzled and looked at Xi Yu and asked, "Husband, what are he doing when he goes out?"

Xi Yu snorted coldly and said with a serious expression: "If I was not mistaken, I would definitely report the information to the patriarch."

Tuoba Yu's face was so angry that his face turned red, his eyes wide open, and he said loudly: "If this is true, it proves that this old man is too beastly!"

Xi Yu shook his head gently, with a calm expression and said slowly: "This is just my guess. Besides, people have the freedom to inform."

At this time, Old Man Nie really came to the patriarch's house.
