After transmigrating into the body of a widow, I became the richest man in the capital.

Chapter 476 Dealing with the Locust Plague
Su Xiaoxiao anxiously called Liu Mang's name in his ear, and only after seeing Liu Mang wake up did she feel relieved.

"How are you? Are you feeling any better?"

Liu Mang sat up with great difficulty, rubbed his eyes, and indicated that he was a little dazed about what had just happened.

Su Xiaoxiao guessed that he must have become a little dazed after losing consciousness, which was why he was like this.

It was getting dark, and young master Liu Mang asked in confusion, "Why are we still on the mountain so late?"

Su Xiaoxiao simply pursed her lips at him, thinking to herself that this young master was really carefree, having forgotten all about these things so quickly.

"Weren't we supposed to be up the mountain gathering herbs? But you were too weak and fainted. That's what happened before. If your mother, Madam Zhang, found out, I'd be nagging her to death."

Su Xiaoxiao was telling the truth. If Madam Zhang found out, her life would be in real danger.

Madam Zhang and Minister Liu only had this one son. "I'm sorry, I'm the one who has dragged you down."

Young Master Liu Mang interrupted Su Xiaoxiao, "I'm sorry, I've caused you trouble."

Su Xiaoxiao was stunned. Originally, she wanted to blame Liu Mang, but now she couldn't say anything.

When such a handsome guy stands in front of you with sparkling eyes and apologizes, Su Xiaoxiao actually feels a little embarrassed.

Liu Mang spat out a small piece of ginseng. "What is this? My mouth tastes so bitter. Did you feed me something?"

Su Xiaoxiao had no choice but to explain to him, "I saw a hundred-year-old ginseng right next to me. Speaking of which, Mr. Liu, you are a lucky man. You survived such a disaster, you are sure to have good fortune in the future!"

It turns out that a hundred-year-old ginseng, just a small piece held in the mouth, can pull a person back from the brink of death.

Young Master Liu Mang's health is indeed very weak. It's good that his health is improving, no matter what kind of herbs or ginseng he is taking.

Young Master Liu Mang immediately stood up and clasped his hands in a fist salute to Su Xiaoxiao.

"Thank you so much, Dr. Su. You saved my life again. I don't know how to repay such a great kindness."

Liu Mang looked down and saw that he was still covered with a woman's clothes. Even in such cold conditions, Su Xiaoxiao remembered to cover him with a coat to keep him warm after he had fainted on the ground. She was truly considerate.

Young Master Liu was so moved that he didn't know how to describe it. He quickly returned the clothes to Su Xiaoxiao and told her to put them back on.

“You’re a girl, and it’s windy in the mountains, so you should wear the clothes.”

"Well, I..."

Liu Mang was interrupted by Su Xiaoxiao before he could finish speaking.

"Stop. Don't try to say anything about marrying me again. I don't want to hear it."

"No, I mean, the more I have the opportunity to interact with Miss Su, the more I find you adorable, just different from the girls I usually meet."

Su Xiaoxiao thought to herself, "Of course it's different. After all, I'm a time traveler from the modern world." However, being praised like that by Liu Mang made Su Xiaoxiao feel a little embarrassed.

"When I first met you, I felt that you didn't belong here."

Su Xiaoxiao laughed heartily after hearing this, "Yes, I am not from here. My home is in a remote village called Baihua Village."

"Look at you, that's not what I meant at all. I didn't mean whether you're from the capital or not, but that you don't belong to this world."

"Really? If I'm not from this world, then what world am I from?"

"Perhaps it's because I've never left Baihua Village and still carry the rustic air of a country person. I hope you won't laugh at me, Young Master Liu." "Not at all, look at you. I never said whether you belong to the countryside or the city."

Liu Mang was quite helpless; it seemed that this topic really couldn't be discussed any further.

The two gazed at the twinkling stars in the sky and began to chat freely for quite some time.

There was no other way; going down the mountain might be dangerous, and they didn't have any lighting equipment with them.

The two went from being strangers to gradually getting along well and becoming close friends who could talk about anything.

When they were going down the mountain, Su Xiaoxiao took good care of Liu Mang, which made Liu Mang even more convinced of Su Xiaoxiao's character.

Back at Qian Musheng's residence, Qian Musheng was extremely anxious.

Madam Zhang was waiting for news at his residence. Liu Mang had never stayed out all night since he was a child, but after going up the mountain this time, there was no news of him. They were originally going to go up the mountain to look for the two people, but the two people came back.

Moreover, seeing that the two of them looked happy and were not injured, Madam Zhang finally felt relieved.

“We ran into a little trouble on the mountain last night, which is why we were delayed.”

Su Xiaoxiao pointed to the basket on her back and said, "Look, we've found the herbs to control locusts."

Everyone was very surprised, "Can this kind of grass really control locust plagues?"

Su Xiaoxiao nodded, saying with a proud look, "That's right."

“We’re talking about locusts, which are no ordinary pests. People in many places are at a loss as to how to deal with them. Our country doesn’t even have an effective way to deal with them yet. Can you guarantee that you can definitely get rid of them?”

This made the people around Su Xiaoxiao a little suspicious.

However, facts speak louder than words. Regardless of whether the people around him believed him or not, Su Xiaoxiao still proved that what he did was right.

Su Xiaoxiao put the fairy grass she picked from the mountain into a millstone and began to grind it into juice. After adding water, she was done.

When buckets of green juice were placed in front of them, everyone was stunned.

What's going on? Su Xiaoxiao, on the other hand, smiled mysteriously at everyone.

"I'll make a simple pesticide spraying tool for everyone. Then you can just pour this green liquid into the fields where locusts have appeared."

However, the green juice still had a strong smell, and everyone around covered their noses, indicating that they didn't want to get close.

Su Xiaoxiao ignored them and insisted on making the pesticide spraying tools before she stopped.

"No, Su Xiaoxiao, I'm just afraid that your green juice won't cure the locusts and will only attract more locusts."

Su Xiaoxiao wasn't angry; she playfully explained to everyone.

"Please make yourselves at home."

Su Xiaoxiao led everyone to the severely affected area of ​​Wangshui Village, where locusts were rampant. In just one day, she sprayed the fields with juice made from Imperata cylindrica.

Su Xiaoxiao thought that would solve the problem, and sure enough, the locusts were still quite quiet for three days after the seeds were scattered, and they had clearly disappeared.

On the fourth day, someone came running up to Su Xiaoxiao.

"This is terrible, Su Xiaoxiao, the locusts are back!"
