Doomsday Traveler

Chapter 122 The Old Man’s Needs

Lu Xian still doesn't understand why this green water appears, and what the principle is that can cure the problem of old trees peeling bark. He doesn't think he can figure out the reason.

After all, he is just an ordinary time traveler, not a special person.

I guess only scientists in relevant professions can understand the mysteries and causes and effects here?

Just stop thinking about it.

He remembered something and asked the old tree, "Let's talk about the bottle later. Uncle Tree, I want to ask you something."

"what's up?"

The old tree asked.

Lu Xian asked, "Since you have such a great need for this green water, why are you still living in Xiaogang Village? Why don't you move here? As for corn, there is soil here too. Get some seeds, come here, turn the ground over, and plant it, right?

"And even if this place isn't suitable, we can try nearby. I see there's a place on the east mountain that looks like the old Yamada, right?"

The old tree sighed and said, "I have thought about it. How could I not have thought about it? My brain is not very good anymore and I always forget things, but I can still figure out where there is land and where to grow things.

"I've tried to bring seeds up the mountain before. But I don't know what's wrong with this place; the corn won't survive here.

“It’s the same in other places in the mountains. I’ve tried it in other places, but it doesn’t work at all!
"At that time, I wanted to be closer to this pit. I was going crazy. I looked for many places to try to grow things. I found a place, but it didn't work. I found a place, but it didn't work.

"Alas... I'm thinking there's something wrong with this place. Crops planted right next to each other will die. A little further away, they'll survive, but they won't grow big. Even further away, they'll barely grow big, but they won't produce anything.

"If you go further, you can only get a little bit of fruit, but it's not edible.

"Anyway, the farther from here, the longer the crops will survive. If we want to grow corn that's nearly edible, we have to be very close to our village."

"After I figured this out, I gave up trying. Alas, this is my fate, an old man, a fate of suffering! There's nothing I can do about it!"

At this point, the old man sighed, and then remembered something and asked Lu Xian, "Brother, what do you think is the reason? Could it be related to the green water?"

Lu Xian asked the dog to sweep the green water on the old tree to make sure it was nothing serious.

But why does the situation described by Lao Shu happen to the crops?
Lu Xian was puzzled and simply gave up.

He had already gotten the answer he wanted from Lao Shu's words, and he now had an idea of ​​how to talk serious matters with the old man next.

After asking all these questions, he still didn't tell Lao Shu about the bottle. Instead, he said to Chai Xin, "Chai Xin, come here."

After saying that, he walked away alone.

Chai Xin trotted behind to catch up. After Lu Xian turned around, he hurriedly stopped and asked, "Brother, what's the matter?"

This girl is now used to calling Yao Wei sister and Lu Xian brother.

Lu Xian looked serious and said to Chai Xin: "I originally wanted you to go to Luo Ping, which is what I told you before.

"Yao Wei and I have both dealt with that person before. He's a pretty reliable person, so I thought his place would be a good place to go.

"But I tell you the truth, I've never been there, and I don't know what you'd experience if you went there.

"Now we have found Xiaogang Village here, and there is a cornfield. The old tree relies on this cornfield, and has the ability to become invisible. It has survived from the old world to the present day alone.

"If you're here, it shouldn't be a problem to live well." "I want to ask you, do you want to go to the place I told you before, or stay here?

"If you want to stay here, I'll go talk to Old Tree."

But Chai Xin thought about it seriously for a long time and said, "I want to go to the Luo Ping you mentioned."

Lu Xian was a little surprised and asked, "Why?" He was still thinking that Chai Xin just wanted to find a place with enough food to survive, and this place just met his requirements, but he didn't expect Chai Xin to give this answer.

But Chai Xin didn't give a reason. He just puffed up his cheeks and said, "I just want to go!"

Lu Xian didn't ask any more questions and nodded, "Okay, then I'll go ask Lao Shu if he's willing to go with you."

Chai Xin asked: "Why do you want to ask him?"

Lu Xian said, "This way you'll have someone to look after you on the way. And although I'm not sure what it's like there, if it really is a good place, it would be good for the old tree."

"Oh……"

Chai Xin agreed and said no more.

So Lu Xian called Chai Xin back and explained the situation to Lao Shu.

He explained all his pros and cons, and let Lao Shu consider it himself. At the same time, he said to Lao Shu, "As for Lu Shui's matter, you don't have to worry.

"I just showed you that you only need to take this green water internally. You don't need to soak your whole body in it. So your consumption of green water is actually very small.

“You’ve figured this out yourself, otherwise you wouldn’t have asked me for a mineral water bottle.

"And seeing you were slurping in the water, I guess you didn't drink much.

"I'll give you two mineral water bottles. If you fill them up, they'll probably be enough for decades. Why would you bother running back and forth?
“There’s no problem going somewhere else.

"Here, you can continue the life you were familiar with, but you still have to live alone, just like before.

"If we go to Pingchuan City, we can find Chai Xin as a companion on the way. When we get to the base in Luoping, east of Shanyang County, Pingchuan City, if there are other people there, we won't have to be alone anymore.

"Well... let me think... you and Chai Xin can both become invisible. This place is neither too close nor too far from Pingchuan City. It shouldn't be a problem for you to walk back and forth invisibly.

"That way, when you go there, you can be more careful. If you find it unsuitable or not to your liking, you can always come back.

"When the time comes, let Chai Xin stay here with you. It'll be nice to have someone to keep you company. You can chat and talk with each other. What do you think?"

The old tree became more and more interested as Lu Xian talked. Lu Xian felt that the time was almost right, so he stopped and waited for the old tree's response.

He guessed what other questions the old tree would ask to reassure him, but he didn't expect the old man to hold it in for a long time before asking, "Brother, do you have any old women of my age?"

Lu Xian: "..."

Yao Wei: “…”

"Pfft..."

Chai Xin couldn't help laughing again.
