Now, her life has become more and more interesting and fulfilling. Every few days, Hu Yansheng would visit her, and each time she would bring beautiful dresses or clothes designed specifically for her.

These clothes seem to be works of art carefully tailored by Hu Yansheng, and each piece exudes unique charm and style.

When I’m bored, I take Lightning out, sometimes setting up a stall, sometimes just strolling around.

Ever since Qing Yuansi drank He Xiaobei's iced fruit tea, he would come to visit every now and then, under the pretext of coming to see his younger generation, but in fact he just came to eat and drink for free.

He Xiaobei didn't mind, and the communication between the two became smoother and smoother.

She even concluded from her last conversation with Qing Yuansi that she should improve her intelligence, so she found a copy of "The Art of War" to read.

The result is obvious. Although the contents of military strategy and medical skills are different, their effects are the same.

After falling asleep while reading twice, she could only quietly put the book back into the study.

Although she is not good at studying, she has placed a lot of books in her space and in the study room of the villa.

As the saying goes, the more a person lacks something, the more he wants to show it off. She is no exception. Whether she reads these books or not is another matter. She thinks that putting them there will make her look very cultured.

Her peaceful life was disrupted by a scream outside the villa in the evening. She thought it was some kind of excitement, but she was dumbfounded after rushing out the door like the wind.

The road outside the door was tightly covered with countless insects. They were wriggling their bodies and crowded together densely, which made people feel creepy!

She was terrified, her face pale as paper. Without hesitation, she slammed the door shut and quickly locked it. Then, she frantically pulled out a packet of medicine powder from her mouth, trembling as she tore it open, and then desperately scattered it around.

Each tiny particle of powder carried her fear and hope as it drifted into the air. She even left out the tiny area at the entrance, ensuring every corner was covered with powder.

As the powder spread, the insects seemed to be terrified by the smell and began to become restless. Some tried to escape, but many struggled and twisted in their tracks.

After He Xiaobei finished sprinkling the powder, he ran back to the house in a hurry.

I went into the house and cleaned it again, which made me feel a lot more at ease.

Sitting on the sofa, covering her chest, the natural disaster she feared most, the "insect plague", finally came.

She complained angrily:

"Even with the reborn's warning, how come the government didn't take precautions and still allowed the insect plague to enter the base?"

What she didn't know was that the government deliberately did not prevent the insect plague.

Although government research institutes have successfully developed a new variety of corn that can withstand both heat and drought, unfortunately, the number of people willing to grow this corn is still very small.

Not only that, even the government itself actively organized related planting activities, but these efforts were far from enough to meet the food needs of the huge population.

The government also dug several large caves on the mountain to grow vegetables and raise animals, but it was still not enough.

For a long time before this, the grain stockpiled by the government had been decreasing at an unprecedented alarming rate, which was a worrying and anxious situation!

Faced with such an urgent and serious situation, people had to rack their brains to find a solution. Finally, after careful consideration, someone came up with an idea that seemed crazy but there was no other solution:

Although the insect plague is extremely terrifying, since there is no more land for it to wreak havoc in the outside world, it is better to let it develop and spread.

After all, many insects, as well as snakes and rodents, are actually food sources, and when people who are extremely hungry have no other options, they will naturally try to catch and eat these animals to fill their stomachs.

If the government research institute publishes the correct way to eat these insects and animals, the insect plague can be turned into a good thing.

Not only can it solve the food problem for some people, but it can also solve the insect plague at the same time. It is simply the best of two worlds.

He Xiaobei had not yet recovered from her sitting on the sofa when there was a knock on her door.

She originally thought it was Qing Yuansi or Hu Yansheng, but it turned out to be her beautiful neighbor who opened the door. She was a little surprised:

"What can I do for you?"

The girl outside the door was a little embarrassed, but still spoke with a blush on her cheeks:

"Hello, I'm your neighbor. My name is Luo Fanchen. I just saw you spreading some powder. It's for repelling insects, right? Can you sell me some?"

The girl spoke in a very sweet way. No wonder Zheng Xiao took so long to get her. As a woman, she couldn't bear to refuse him, even his name was nice.

She also considered that if the neighbor's house was infested with bugs, her house would inevitably be affected, so she readily agreed:

"Sure, 10 points per pound. How much do you want?"

The girl was a little confused after hearing this. 10 points for 1 jin was too expensive. But she couldn't go out right now, and she was also afraid of insects, so she gritted her teeth and said:

"Okay, deal, 2 jin first."

He Xiaobei looked at the other person with some confusion. How could he feel so bad for just 20 points? She was so pretty, Zheng Xiao must be very good to her, why was she so poor?

After taking 2 kilograms of medicinal powder and trading it with the other party, she closed the door again.

Many other neighbors also saw her sprinkling the powder and naturally came to buy it.

Selling it to Luo Fanchen doesn’t mean she will sell it to others. These are her “life-saving” things. Without the medicine powder, although she won’t be eaten to death by insects now, she will be scared to death.
