Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The town of Tokanis is just north of Brape. It is a prosperous town on the outskirts of the city. Next to the town is a vast field. Within a few kilometers, there are several fields.  There are scattered farms. It is estimated that her grandmother's house that the little boy mentioned is in the farms nearby.

    Zhang Tie arrived at the small town of Tokanis in a Hostess. Once here, the four-wheeled carriage could no longer go into the wild. The road in the wild was full of potholes and was only suitable for slow-moving ox carts or horseback riding.  , the kind of elegant Houses that is suitable for driving on paved roads in the city, I can only look at the road and sigh.

    After paying dozens of coppers for the fare, Zhang Tie got off the bus in the town of Tokanis. After asking people in the town about the location of the village of Chevri, he walked to the village alone.  .  The village of Chevri is only two or three kilometers away from the town of Tokanis.

    The people of Brape are simple and simple, and Zhang Tie has his lieutenant's military ID card in his pocket, so he doesn't have to worry about any trouble even if he travels alone.

    The surrounding fields are full of green and vibrant scenes, and many farmers are working in the fields. At this time, autumn wheat has just been sown in the countryside around Brape.

    Only with wheat can there be beer, so growing wheat is a big deal in Brape. When the wheat is harvested next summer, there will be a grand wheat harvesting festival in Brape. But now, I heard the driver who just came here said,  In order to celebrate the sowing of wheat seeds and the good harvest of the year, the most lively Oktoberfest of the year in Brape will be held next month. At the Beer Festival in Brape, girls from all over Brape will put on their beer on that day.  Take out the beer you brewed, and the unmarried girls who brew the best beer will become the stars that all the Brape boys are chasing. In the eyes of the Brape men, they can marry such a woman.  That is the greatest happiness.

    Zhang Tie was walking on the road, looking at the surrounding pastoral scenery, while thinking about all the details of saving those earthworms this time. This is not a one-time deal, just a small matter and releasing them once or twice is enough. For the fruit of redemption,  In order to let his body recover as soon as possible, Zhang Tie is ready to stick to this matter for a long time.

    An outsider suddenly wants to buy some earthworms for feed that no one has ever bought before and release them in a village. This matter will cause some criticism from others no matter where it is. If you don¡¯t want to let yourself become someone else¡¯s at this moment,  focus.  If you don¡¯t want to encounter some inexplicable obstacles to your release, it¡¯s best to think of a reason that can convince others and make people feel that it is natural.

    Tell others this is the secret of the Eastern secrets of treating diseases?  I'm afraid everyone will think of themselves as crazy.  As for other reasons, what other excuses can there be for me to insist on doing this as a matter of course in the eyes of others without making people feel weird?

    Zhang Tie thought of the Gripis sect, which is a sect that advocates nature.  The teachings of this sect include the concept of caring for all things in nature and restoring balance to nature.  They love flowers and plants.  Naturally, they also care for small animals. Maybe they can make a fuss about this. I heard Mother Teresa say that some people in this sect do seem to have rescued some animals that were imprisoned, enslaved, or about to be killed.  Later released to nature.

    "I can't believe that I have to start the cave savage survival mode again this time - Zhang Tie muttered in his heart.

    After walking for nearly a kilometer on the path in the field.  Behind him, there was the sound of wheels turning on their axles. Zhang Tie turned around and saw an ox cart slowly approaching, pulling half a cart of dried wheat straw. The driver was a man in his sixties.  An old man wearing a straw hat and white burlap clothes.  Because the road beside the field is very narrow.  Seeing the bullock cart approaching, Zhang Tie quickly stood aside to let the bullock cart pass.

    ¡°Young man, where are you going?¡± The old man driving the bullock cart asked enthusiastically when he saw Zhang Tie walking alone.

    "Chevri!"

    "Haha, if you don't mind, then get in the car, I'm about to go to Chevri!" The old man stopped the cart.

    Zhang Tie smiled, climbed into the bullock cart, sat on a pile of straw, and drove to Chevri with the old man.

    "Young man, you don't seem to be from Chevri Village. Where can you find friends or relatives?" the old man asked.

    "Well, it's true that I just came to Brape not long ago. When I came to Chevri this time, I heard that many people there raised earthworms, and I wanted to take a look!" Seeing that this old man may be a local of Chevri  , Zhang Tie's "Cave Savage Survival Mode" was activated instantly.

    "Earthworm, what's so interesting about that?" the old man driving the oxcart asked strangely, "Isn't that something only chickens and ducks are interested in?"

    ¡°The biggest use of earthworms is not to make animalsThe feed!  "Zhang Tie showed a pious and pure expression on his face, "If you put these little animals in the field in the wild, they will make the soil on the earth more fertile when spring comes, and the more fertile soil will be.  It can make the vitality of the earth more vigorous and make everything prosperous. Those little things are gifts given to this earth by Gaya, the mother of the earth!  "

    Hearing what Zhang Tie said, a look of surprise flashed across the face of the old man driving the car. He looked at Zhang Tie again, "Are you still a believer in the Gripis sect?"

    "Yes, I used to live in Black Flame City. It was there that I came into contact with the Gripis Sect, and I am their devotee!" Zhang Tie said with a smile.

    The old man driving the car hesitated for a moment, "There are indeed many people raising earthworms in Chevri Village and many surrounding villages. What you said makes sense, but if you want to rely on your reason to let the people who raise earthworms raise them in vain,  It¡¯s probably very difficult to give you earthworms, but you can try it, maybe someone is really willing to do it!¡±

    "Of course I won't let people give me earthworms for nothing. In any case, those earthworms are also their property. In fact, I plan to buy the earthworms they raised and then let them go!"

    "Buy it, you want to buy those useless things?" The old man was even more surprised.

    "Of course, even as devout believers in the Gripis sect, the sect's teachings do not tell us that in order to do the right thing, we can plunder other people's property or make others suffer in order to support you!"

    After listening to Zhang Tie's words, after a few seconds, the old man driving the car asked Zhang Tie in a low voice, a little embarrassed, "Well if you want to buy it, how much do you plan to pay? I also have a pond of earthworms at home."  !¡±

    Zhang Tie didn¡¯t expect to meet a family raising earthworms so soon. Someone gave him a pillow just as he was about to fall asleep.

    ¡°Then how much money do you think I have to pay to get those earthworm farmers in Chevri Village to sell their earthworms to me?¡± Zhang Tie asked the old man in return.

    "As long as you can provide 20 earthworms for a pond no, as long as the price is 18 silver coins, I guess many people will be happy to sell you those useless little things!" The old man's face turned slightly red.  , the old man felt a little uncomfortable with a young man who wanted to do good things and bargained for some small things that no one wanted.

    What a lovely old man, Zhang Tie smiled in his heart.

    "Then, I will get 21 silver coins from a pond of earthworms" Zhang Tie said seriously, with a look of compassion on his face, "As long as those cute little things can return to the embrace of Gaya, the Mother of the Earth.  , it can make this land more vibrant, even if you spend a little more money, it won¡¯t matter.¡±

    When Zhang Tie said this, the old man became even more embarrassed.

    The oxcart was wandering along the country road. After walking out of the path beside the fields, the road became a little wider and two oxcarts could pass by each other. However, the road condition was still not good. Zhang  Tie sat on the bullock cart and chatted with the old man, and gradually learned a lot of things.

    The old man¡¯s name is Harry, and he is an out-and-out farmer in Chevri Village. There are indeed many people raising earthworms in Chevri Village, and there are also many people in the surrounding villages. People here raise earthworms, firstly because it is convenient to raise earthworms, and secondly.  The second is that if you raise earthworms and use them to digest duck feed, you can save a lot of food in the future.

    After more than ten minutes of shaky bumps, Zhang Tie finally arrived at Chevli Village, a small village with only more than 100 households. This small village usually rarely has outsiders, especially Zhang Tie is a Chinese.  As a young boy, Zhang Tie attracted the attention of many people as soon as he entered the village sitting on Harry's bullock cart.

    "Old Harry, who is this Chinese boy sitting in your car? Is he Hannah's man" Someone asked insinuatingly on the side of the road.

    "Go, go" Old Harry waved his whip impatiently, but did not say what Zhang Tie was here for. When there were few people around, he nervously turned around and whispered to Zhang Tie, "This  ¡­Our earthworms¡­¡±

    "Don't worry, I will buy yours first before I consider other people's!" Several years of working in a grocery store have trained Zhang Tie's eyes, and he naturally knows what old Harry is worried about.  The folk customs in Brape are honest, but they are not so honest that they have a grudge against money, especially in the countryside. The countryside here is the same as the countryside everywhere. Except for selling a little grain during the harvest season, everything is normal.  There are not many opportunities for people to make extra money.

    Zhang Tie soon saw the place where Harry raised earthworms.

    It was a small pool with a diameter of only seven or eight square meters and a depth of more than thirty centimeters built on the ground with bricks and cement.There was a fence around the small pond to prevent chickens and ducks from coming in to feed. The small pond was covered with some straw to block the sun. Under the straw, in the entire pit, there were piles of what seemed to be cow dung and some  The accumulation of chicken and duck feces and soil mixed together¡ª¡ª

    This is where people raise earthworms. After piling up some livestock manure and garbage, covering it with straw, you can leave it alone as a source of feed for chickens and ducks.

    Zhang Tie knew that all his hopes, as well as the sacred miracle of salvation, were buried in this dirty pile of dung and garbage.

    For the first time, Zhang Tie was filled with awe of the arrangements placed by the Creator on every life.
