Chapter 4: Underground Insect Plague
"My name is Chen Ronghuo, and the village chief can call me Xiao Chen. โ
Chen Ronghuo introduced himself.
"Either or not, or not. โ
Huang Tiesheng hurriedly waved his hand: "I'm better to call Gongzi." โ
Seeing Huang Tiesheng's appearance, Chen Ronghuo immediately knew that this old man probably regarded him as a noble son from somewhere, but this identity was somewhat convenient for him at present, so he didn't say anything more.
The two of them walked all the way to the village.
There don't seem to be many people in the village, and I don't know if they've all gone to work in the farm or what's going on.
The children who were boxing in the square all looked at Chen Ronghuo curiously, but under the scolding of the strong man with a bare upper body, they quickly continued to practice boxing.
"Village Chief Huang, I don't know how many other villages there are around here, which city is closer to here?" Chen Ronghuo asked as he followed Huang Tiesheng.
Huang Tiesheng was stunned for a moment, and then his expression became more respectful, and he said cautiously: "Our name here is White Kirist Island, which is an island south of the Gado Snake Islands. There is only one big city on the island, called White Mist City, hundreds of miles away. But it was too far away for no one in our village to visit. โ
Gado Snake Islands?
White Kirishim?
Only one city?
"That's ......"
Chen Ronghuo was a little surprised, he didn't expect that he actually landed on an island.
Previously, when the Book of All-Knowing Machine Spirit guided him to make a choice, he chose this place as the place of ascent, and what he thought in his heart was that in the case of low danger, there would be many adventures.
He looked around, not knowing what adventures would come to him on the island.
But it was useless to think about this now, so he asked instead: "Village Chief Huang, it seems that there are not many people in Xiahe Village, have you all gone to work in the fields?"
"What kind of work are you doing, there has been a recession in the past few years, there is an insect plague underground, and most of the land is planted in vain. Huang Tiesheng shook his head and sighed, wrinkles piled up on his face, "Now the entire village depends on the hunting team in the village to survive, and the hunting team went to the mountains dozens of miles away to hunt the day before yesterday.
The others followed to the edge of the mountain to pick some game and prepare food for the winter, which may take a few days to return. โ
Chen Ronghuo raised his eyebrows.
He was born on the planet of Earth, and in his time, people in the city did not mention it, and even most people in the countryside rarely cared about natural disasters in general.
"I don't know if the gods don't care about these ordinary humans, or if the gods are not omnipotent......"
Such thoughts flashed through his mind.
But it doesn't matter to him at the moment.
Before becoming a powerful cultivator, the most important thing for him is to find a place to live first.
And whether it is to become a cultivator or to find a place to live, it is obvious that you have to contact human beings.
Therefore, no matter what the situation of Xiahe Village is, with his current conditions, choosing to temporarily settle in Xiahe Village is the best choice.
At the same time, he also wanted to find out the difference between a martial artist and a warlock from Xiahe Village, and to find out if both belonged to cultivators.
"Childe, please, this is my house, the humble house is dirty and simple, and please don't laugh at it. โ
After a while, Chen Rongsheng followed Huang Tiesheng to a farmhouse in the center of the village.
Huang Tiesheng's home is not magnificent, and like other houses in the village, it is an ordinary farmhouse made of earth and stone.
On one side of the farmhouse was a fenced vegetable garden full of vegetables he didn't recognize.
However, many of these vegetables have yellow leaves and do not grow well.
Thinking of the insect plague in the underground that Huang Tiesheng said just now, Chen Ronghuo's thoughts moved, and a trace of consciousness fell on the ancient book.
ใYellow cabbage: A special vegetable of Shirishima.
The growth cycle is three months, the taste is tender, nutritious, easy to grow, and easy to store.
Affected by the insect plague, the roots are gnawed by the plague insects, lack of water, the insect plague is not removed, and can only survive for 15 days at most. ใ
Is the insect plague so bad here?
Chen Ronghuo raised his eyebrows.
He suddenly thought of a way to stay in Xiahe Village.
This method is to help Xiahe Village solve the insect plague.
Naturally, he didn't know how to solve the insect plague, but he could do it by asking the ancient books in his mind.
It's just that he doesn't know how much energy he needs to get this answer.
But just when Chen Ronghuo thought so, the ancient book in his mind suddenly passed a message to him, which was not manifested in handwriting, but directly transmitted to his mind.
At the same time, the message was not complicated, it just told him how much energy it would take to get the answer.
And through the news that the ancient book passed to him, if he wants to solve the problem of the insect plague in Xiahe Village, he needs to consume 30 points of energy from the ancient book.
With his current strength, so much energy, counting the remaining 2 points of energy from the ancient book, it will probably take more than half a month for the ancient book to accumulate.
"I see, whatever I want to ask, I will give the specific amount of energy I need in advance. โ
Chen Ronghuo's heart moved slightly, in this way, when he wanted to ask something in the future, he could have a score in his heart in advance.
"Childe also sees the problem with these dishes, hey, I don't know what's going on in the past two years, not only our village, but also several nearby big towns. โ
Seeing Chen Ronghuo staring at the vegetables in the garden, Huang Tiesheng sighed and said: "It's okay to have an ordinary insect plague, it's a big deal to work hard, just catch insects for the whole people." But this insect plague actually came from the ground, and these insects have extremely strong fecundity and vitality, and they are inexhaustible. โ
Speaking of this, Huang Tiesheng shook his head, revealing a sad expression.
"It seems that there should be no insect killers in this world, or rather, there is no one in the Xiahe Village. โ
Chen Ronghuo looked thoughtful, and at the same time began to ponder in his heart what he had to do to stay in Xiahe Village.
Directly saying that he can solve the insect plague, he will most likely be regarded as a liar.
After all, now he still needs to wait for the ancient books to accumulate more than half a month's energy before he can get the answer. And even if he got the answer, he also had to consider the conditions of the following river villages, whether it could be done.
"How much energy does it take to choose the simplest one, and the conditions of the following river villages can solve the insect plague?"
Thinking of this, Chen Ronghuo's mind moved again.
Suddenly, the ancient book gave him a new message.
It's just that after getting the information from the ancient book, Chen Ronghuo's face suddenly showed a strange look.
This time, in the message that Gu Shu fed back to him, it was said that Gu Shu only needed to consume 5 points of energy to get this answer.
"5 o'clock, 30 o'clock, is it ......?"
Comparing the two, Chen Ronghuo suddenly understood something.
He guessed that the method that the ancient book had told him before to consume 30 points of energy was most likely a complete set of ways to get rid of the insect plague in Xiahe Village.
The latter method only consumes five points of energy, because the questions he asks are more precise.
"It seems that there are still many ancient books that I don't understand the unspoken rules, and when I settle down, I must be thoroughly proficient in the use of ancient books. โ
Chen Ronghuo took a deep breath, glanced at the yellowed yellow cabbage in the vegetable garden, and suddenly gave birth to a half-ripe way in his heart that could let him stay in Xiahe Village.
