"My name is Chen Ronghuo. The village chief can just call me Xiao Chen."
Chen Ronghuo introduced himself.
"Either or not."
Huang Tiesheng waved his hand quickly: "I'd better call you Young Master."
Seeing Huang Tiesheng's appearance, Chen Ronghuo immediately knew that the old man probably regarded him as a noble son from where he came from. However, this status was quite convenient for him at present, so he didn't say anything more.
The two of them walked all the way to the village.
There didn't seem to be many people in the village, and I don't know if they were all busy in the fields or what.
The children who were boxing in the square looked at Chen Ronghuo curiously, but under the scolding of the strong man with bare upper body, they quickly continued to practice boxing.
"Village Chief Huang, I wonder if there are several other villages nearby. Which city is closer to here?" Chen Ronghuo asked as he followed Huang Tiesheng.
Huang Tiesheng was startled for a moment, then his expression became more respectful, and he said cautiously: "Our place is called Baiwu Island, which is an island to the south of the Jado Snake Islands. There is only one big city on the island called Baiwu City, which is hundreds of miles away.
.But it’s too far there, and no one in our village has been there.”
Cadogan Islands?
Baiwu Island?
Only one city?
"That's it..."
Chen Ronghuo was a little surprised. He didn't expect that he would actually land on an island.
When the Book of Omniscient Artifact Guided him to make a choice before, he chose this place as the place to descend. What he was thinking was that there would be many adventures with low danger.
He looked around, wondering what adventures he would have on this island.
But it was useless to think about it now. He turned to ask: "Village Chief Huang, it seems that there are not many people in your Xiahe Village. Are they all working in the fields?"
"What kind of work are you doing? The past few years have been bad. There has been an infestation of insects underground, and most of the land has been planted with white people." Huang Tiesheng shook his head and sighed, wrinkles piled up on his face. "Now the entire village relies on the village's hunting team to survive. The hunting team
The day before yesterday, I went hunting in the mountains dozens of miles away.
Others also followed us to the edge of the mountains to gather some game and prepare food for the winter. It may take a few days to return."
Chen Ronghuo raised his eyebrows.
He was born in Earth Star. In his era, city people didn't mention it, and most rural people paid little attention to ordinary 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 the moment.
Before becoming a powerful cultivator, the most important thing for him is to find a place to settle down.
And whether you want to become a cultivator or find a place to live, you obviously need to come into contact with human beings.
Therefore, no matter what the situation is in Xiahe Village, given his current conditions, choosing to settle down in Xiahe Village temporarily is the best choice.
At the same time, he also wanted to find out from Xiahe Village the difference between warriors and sorcerers, and to find out whether both were cultivators.
"Sir, please, this is my home. This humble house is dirty and shabby, so please don't make fun of me."
After a while, Chen Rongsheng followed Huang Tiesheng to a farmhouse in the center of the village.
Huang Tiesheng's home is not grand. Like other houses in the village, they are ordinary farmhouses made of earth and stone.
There was a fenced-in vegetable garden on one side of the farmhouse, filled with vegetables he couldn't recognize.
However, many of these vegetables have yellow leaves and do not grow well.
Thinking of what Huang Tiesheng had just said about the insect infestation underground, Chen Ronghuo had a thought, and a trace of his consciousness fell on the ancient book.
The growth cycle is three months. It tastes tender and smooth, is rich in nutrients, is easy to grow and store.
Affected by the pest disaster, the roots were gnawed by pests. Without water, the pests could not be eliminated and could only survive for fifteen days at most.]
Is the insect infestation here so serious?
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 problem.
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 it takes to get this answer.
But just when Chen Ronghuo was thinking this, the ancient book in his mind suddenly sent him a message. This message was not shown in handwriting, but was directly sent to his mind.
At the same time, this message is not complicated, it just tells him how much energy is needed to get the answer.
And according to the news sent to him through the ancient book, 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 and so much energy, including the 2 points of energy left in the ancient book, it would probably take the ancient book to accumulate more than half a month.
"I see. It turns out that whatever I want to ask, the specific energy value required will be given in advance."
Chen Ronghuo's heart moved slightly. In this case, when he wants to ask something in the future, he will have a score in mind in advance.
"Master, you must have noticed the problem with these dishes. Hey, I don't know what has happened in the past two years. Not only our village, but also several large towns nearby are all like this."
Seeing Chen Ronghuo staring at the vegetables in the garden, Huang Tiesheng sighed: "It's just an ordinary insect infestation. At worst, it will be more difficult. All the people can just catch the insects. But this time the insect infestation actually came from the ground, and these insects have extremely high fecundity and vitality."
It’s so strong that it can’t be eradicated at all.”
Having said this, Huang Tiesheng shook his head with a sad look on his face.
"It seems that there should be no pesticides in this world, or in other words, there are none in this area of Xiahe Village."
Chen Ronghuo looked thoughtful, and at the same time began to wonder in his mind what he should do to stay in Xiahe Village.
If he directly says that he can solve the insect infestation, he will most likely be regarded as a liar.
After all, he still needs to wait for the ancient book to accumulate energy for more than half a month before he can get the answer. And even if he gets the answer, he must also consider whether the following conditions in Hecun can be achieved.
"Choose the simplest method that can solve the insect infestation under the conditions of the following river villages. How much energy does it require?"
Thinking of this, Chen Ronghuo had another thought.
After a moment, the ancient book gave him a new message.
But after receiving the message from the ancient book, Chen Ronghuo's face suddenly showed a strange look.
This time, the message fed back to him by the ancient book actually said that the ancient book only needed to consume 5 points of energy to get the answer.
"5 o'clock, 30 o'clock, could it be..."
Comparing the two, Chen Ronghuo immediately understood something.
He guessed that the method that the ancient book told him to obtain by spending 30 points of energy was probably a comprehensive list of methods to get rid of the insect plague in Xiahe Village.
The later method only cost five points of energy because the questions he asked were more precise.
"It seems that there are many hidden rules in the ancient books that I don't understand. Once I settle down, I must be thoroughly proficient in the use of the ancient books."
Chen Ronghuo took a deep breath and glanced at the yellow cabbage leaves in the vegetable garden, and suddenly a semi-ripe idea came to his mind that could allow him to stay in Xiahe Village.
