Whose farming family has the male protagonist giving three piglets as a gift at the beginning?

"It's not just in our village, there are also cases in several nearby villages. Some are even worse than ours." The third aunt-in-law was not idle either, she caught the cases and replied to her at the same time.

"Is it so serious?" Su Ziling glanced at Twenty who had already walked away and spoke faster, "How did you know about this, Third Uncle?"

"Since you started collecting mushrooms, more people have been coming in and out. When they see us catching mushrooms, they naturally start a conversation. After asking, I found out that there are also people like us in their village."

"I asked your uncle Yuan to go to my mother's house a few days ago, and it's the same there. Alas, life is difficult this year. If we don't catch all of them, there will be even more next year."

"Don't worry, Third Auntie. With such a large-scale insect infestation, I think the imperial court will send people to take care of it."

"It's difficult. I don't expect this. How can the imperial court care about ordinary people like us? Okay, go quickly. Your father and the others are waiting."

Su Ziling nodded, "Well, I'll be leaving first. Aunt Third can come over to our house when you have time."

Su Ziling knew that what she said was true. If he reported this situation, no one would care. Even if he reported it, there was no telling how far it would go.

The county reported the matter to the provincial government, and then the provincial government, and then it could be suppressed from somewhere else.

From another perspective, even if the situation was reported to the imperial court, it would probably be distributed as disaster relief grain or silver. However, how much of these things could actually reach the hands of the people?

In the end, it is nothing more than "the rich have wine and meat, while the poor freeze to death on the streets."

She was powerless to do anything about these things, she could only hope that her medicine would work and help in some way.

Su Ziling trotted over to catch up with Twenty, "Did you hear what happened just now?"

Twenty said "hmm" softly.

"No more?" Su Ziling asked.

Twenty was silent for a moment. "All I can do is report what I see to the boss. It's up to them to decide what to do."

Su Ziling curled his lips and said, "Wait until you report it and the higher-ups send a message, I guess all the corn seedlings will be eaten up."

Twenty sighed. He was powerless. He was just a small Green Guard and his abilities were really limited.

but……

Thinking of Shen Xingye in Yongchang County, he said, "You can go find Master Shen."

"Looking for him?"

"Well, if the magistrate of Yongchang County was an ordinary person, it would be useless to find him. But Master Shen is different. He is not only the magistrate, but also the son of the Marquis, the future young Marquis. He has a channel for delivering letters. If he is willing to help, a letter can be sent directly to the Marquis's mansion. Then the Marquis will naturally submit a memorial. The weight of the Marquis's memorial is..."

He didn't say the rest, but Su Ziling already understood.

"Okay, let's try this medicine first, come over tomorrow morning to see the effect, and then go to the county at noon."

When the two men arrived at the field, Grandpa Su was drinking water, and Su's father and the others were still catching insects.

"Are you here?" Seeing them, Mr. Su's eyes lit up. "Have you figured it out?"

"We have it, but we don't know how effective it is. Let's try the peach leaf one first, and then go back and get some hairy fish vine juice to try."

While Su Ziling was replying, he found a stable place for Twenty to put the bucket.

"How do I do this?" Looking at the two green buckets of water, Grandpa Su didn't know where to start.

"Add five catties of liquid to ten catties of water. This needs to be diluted with water." Su Ziling took out the ladle and said, "Is there any water nearby? We need to fetch some water."

Father Su took the pole and bucket and said, "Water? No problem, I'll fetch it. There's a water hole down here, right in your uncle Yong'an's field. The water isn't big, it's bubbling up a little bit. Sometimes when we come here to work and get thirsty, we'll go get some water to drink."

"Later, when we planted vegetables or something, we could also use it for watering. Your uncle dug the pond a little bigger, so it was no problem to carry a dozen buckets of water."

The distance was really not far. Su's father came back in a moment. He knew that he needed to add the original liquid, so he did not fill up the bottle.

Su Ziling directly took out a ladle, added four ladlefuls of original liquid into a bucket of water, and then distributed a gourd ladle to each person.

"Two of us will carry a bucket of water, scoop a little with a ladle, and drip the medicine on every corn heart."

Everyone used a ladle, but Su Ziling took her bamboo tube.

Mr. Su took a look and said, "Do you need to water even if there are no bugs?"

"Water it. If there are bugs, kill them. If there are no bugs, prevent them. After we use up these two barrels of liquid, we can go home and try the juice of the hairy fish vine. The medicinal properties of that one are stronger and can be preserved for about ten days. Then we can try which one is more effective."

Su Ziling filled the bamboo tube with medicine and started spraying it, just like giving an injection. She sprayed each corn plant one by one. One bamboo tube was enough to spray an entire row of corns.

Her speed was much faster. The hole in the bamboo tube was very small, and the water column that came out with a gentle push was also thin. She aimed it at the bell-shaped mouth of the corn and filled it with water directly.

She picked the trees one by one at a very fast pace, and Mr. Su obviously noticed it.

They had only watered a dozen trees, but she had finished watering the entire row. Although some of the water leaked out, it seemed that it was not as much as what their watering can leaked out.

The mouth of the ladle is too big and difficult to hold, so it is easy to pour too much water if you are not careful.

"What are you doing? It looks pretty useful. It's much faster than us."

"Hehe." Su Ziling smiled, "I made a spray gun. I don't know if it will work, so I just made one."

Mr. Su was obviously very interested, "You did it? Let me see."

Mr. Su is a stonemason and is also proficient in carpentry. Looking at the small object in his hand, he also understands its significance.

It is not difficult, or it can be said that the method is simple, but the difficult part is that no one can think of it.

"How did you come up with this idea? This is much more convenient, but it can still be improved. I'll help you fix it when we get back later."

"Why are you waiting? Grandpa will go back and make some now. Look, you guys can't even make a row with the scoops, but I can make a row by myself. This spray gun is much more efficient."

Old Master Su took a look and it was true. The four of them were not as good as Su Ziling alone.

"Okay, you guys water it first, I'll go back and do it." As soon as he said that, Grandpa Su put down the ladle and walked back.

"Grandpa, when you come, bring some of the juice of the hairy fish vine in a bamboo tube and scoop it out with a spoon. The juice is poisonous, so don't touch it with your hands."

Su Ziling thought that it would be better for Grandpa Su to go back so that she wouldn't have to go back again.

"Okay, I've got it in mind. By the way, how much do you want?" Grandpa Su asked as they walked.

"That juice is different from this peach juice. Not much has been filtered out. Take as much as you can. I estimate that there will be only about a ladleful of it."

Su Ziling sprayed as she spoke, which did not affect her speed at all.

When Su's father saw this, his eyes turned red. He couldn't water the plants while talking, otherwise his hands would shake and the medicine would spill.

"Qing'er, let me try yours."

"No." Su Ziling slightly turned aside, "My hands are shaking, and my eyesight is not good, so I can't aim directly with the ladle."

Father Su: "..."

He sighed slightly, his daughter is grown up now and it is not easy to deceive her.

Su Ziling didn't expect that this thing was so useful. If she had known earlier, she would have made two more.

If everyone used a spray gun, I'm afraid half of the land would be gone.
