300 years ahead of landing

Chapter 4 Underground Insect Plague
"My name is Chen Ronghuo, the village head can just call me Xiao Chen."

Chen Ronghuo introduced himself.

"No, no."

Huang Tiesheng quickly waved his hands: "I'd better call you son."

Seeing Huang Tiesheng's appearance, Chen Ronghuo immediately knew that the old man probably regarded him as a nobleman from somewhere, but this status was a bit convenient for him at present, so he didn't say anything more.

The two walked all the way to the village.

There don't seem to be many people in the village, and I don't know if it's all busy farming or what's going on.

Those children who were boxing in the square looked at Chen Ronghuo curiously, but under the scolding of the brawny man with his upper body naked, they quickly continued to practice boxing.

"Village Chief Huang, I don't know how many other villages are nearby. Which city is closer to here?" Chen Ronghuo asked while following Huang Tiesheng.

Huang Tiesheng was stunned for a moment, then his expression became more respectful, and he said cautiously: "Our place is called Baiwu Island, an island to the south of the Gadot Snake Islands. There is only one big city called Baiwu City on the island, hundreds of miles away .But it’s too far away, no one in our village has ever been there.”

Gadot Snake Islands?
Baiwu Island?
Only one city?

"Is that so..."

Chen Ronghuo was a little surprised, he didn't expect to land on an island.

When the spirit of the omniscient book guided him to make a choice before, he chose this place as the landing place. What he thought in his heart was that there would be more adventures under the condition of low danger.

He looked around, wondering what adventures he would have on this island.

But it was useless to think about it now, so he turned to ask: "Cunchang Huang, it seems that there are not many people in Xiahe Village, are you all working in the fields?"

"What are you doing? It's been a recession for the past few years. There have been insects in the ground, and most of the land has been planted white." Huang Tiesheng shook his head and sighed, wrinkles on his face piled up. "Now the whole village relies on the hunting team in the village to survive. The day before yesterday I went hunting in the mountains dozens of miles away.

Others also followed to the edge of the mountain to pick some wild game and prepare food for the winter, and it might take a few days to come back. "

Chen Ronghuo frowned.

He was born on Earth, and at his age, people in the city didn't mention it, and most of the people in the countryside didn't care much about natural disasters.

"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 this matter is not important to him at present.

Before becoming a powerful cultivator, the most important thing for him is to find a place to live.

Whether it is to become a cultivator or to find a place to live, it is obvious that one must contact human beings.

So no matter what the situation in Xiahe Village is, with his current conditions, it is the best choice to choose to temporarily settle down in Xiahe Village.

At the same time, he also wanted to find out from Xiahe Village the difference between warriors and warlocks, and whether they both belonged to cultivators.

"My lord, please, this is my home, the humble house is dirty and simple, please don't laugh at me, lord."

Not long after, Chen Rongsheng followed Huang Tiesheng to a farmhouse in the center of the village.

Huang Tiesheng's house is unremarkable. Like other houses in the village, they are ordinary farmhouses made of earth and stone.

On one side of the farmhouse there was a fenced vegetable garden full of vegetables he couldn't recognize.

However, many of these vegetables have yellow leaves and are not growing well.

Thinking of what Huang Tiesheng said just now about the underground insect plague, Chen Ronghuo had a thought, and a sliver of consciousness fell on the ancient book.

[Yellow Cabbage: Baiwu Island's special vegetable.

The growth cycle is three months, the taste is tender and smooth, rich in nutrition, easy to plant and store.

Affected by the pest infestation, the roots are gnawed by the pests, lack of water, and the pest infestation cannot be eliminated, and it can only survive for fifteen days at most. 】

Are the pests here so serious?
Chen Ronghuo frowned.

He suddenly thought of a way to stay in Xiahe Village.

This method is to help Xiahe Village solve the pest disaster.

He naturally didn't know how to solve the pest 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 is needed to get this answer.

But just when Chen Ronghuo was thinking this way, the ancient book in his mind suddenly sent him a message. This message was not shown in handwriting, but was directly transmitted to his mind.

At the same time, the message was not complicated, it just told him how much energy he needed to get the answer.

And through the news passed to him by the ancient book, he needs to consume 30 points of energy from the ancient book if he wants to solve the problem of the insect plague in Xiahe Village.

With his current strength and so much energy, including the remaining 2 points of energy in the ancient book, it will take more than half a month for the ancient book to accumulate.

"So that's it. It turns out that whatever I want to ask, I will give the specific energy value needed in advance."

Chen Ronghuo's heart moved slightly. In this way, when he wanted to ask something in the future, he could have a score in mind in advance.

"The young master has also seen the problem with these dishes. Hey, I don't know what happened in the past two years. Not only our village, but also several big towns nearby look like this."

Seeing Chen Ronghuo staring at the vegetables in the garden, Huang Tiesheng sighed and said: "Ordinary insect plagues are fine. The worst is to work harder. All the people need to catch insects. But this insect plague actually came from the ground, and these insects have extremely high reproductive and vitality. Strong, absolutely inexhaustible."

Having said that, Huang Tiesheng shook his head with a sad expression on his face.

"It seems that there should be no insecticides in this world, or in the Xiahe Village area."

Chen Ronghuo looked thoughtful, and at the same time began to ponder in his heart what he should do to stay in Xiahe Village.

If he directly said that he could solve the pest plague, he would probably be regarded as a liar.

After all, he now needs to wait for the ancient book to accumulate more than half a month of energy before he can get the answer.And even if he got the answer, he also had to consider Xia Hecun's conditions, whether it could be done.

"Choose the simplest solution, which can solve the insect infestation under the conditions of Xiahe Village. How much energy is needed?"

Thinking of this, Chen Ronghuo thought again.

After a while, the ancient book gave him a new message.

It's just that after getting the information about the ancient book, Chen Ronghuo's face suddenly showed a strange look.

This time, in the message Gu Shu gave him back, it actually said that Gu Shu only needed to consume 5 points of energy to get this answer.

"5 o'clock, 30 o'clock, could it be..."

Comparing the two, Chen Ronghuo suddenly understood something.

He guessed that the method that the ancient book told him before by consuming 30 energy points was probably a complete set of methods to get rid of the insect plague in Xiahe Village.

And the later method only needs to consume five points of energy, because the question he raised is more precise.

"It seems that there are still many ancient books that I don't understand the unspoken rules. When I settle down, I must be thoroughly proficient in the use of ancient books."

Chen Ronghuo took a deep breath, glanced at the yellow cabbages in the vegetable garden, and suddenly thought of a half-ripe solution that would allow him to stay in Xiahe Village.

　Two chapters are guaranteed every day before the shelves, one chapter at twelve noon and one chapter at six o'clock in the evening.
