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 nearby farms.
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.
, that kind of elegant Housestyle that is suitable for driving on urban paved roads, one can only look at the road and sigh.
After paying the fare of dozens of coppers, 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 always has his lieutenant's military certificate in his pocket, so he doesn't have to worry about much 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, the countryside around Brape has just finished sowing autumn wheat.
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 arrived 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, the girls from all over Brape will put on the beer festival 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 chase. In the eyes of Brape men, being able to marry such a woman 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, it is just a small matter of releasing them once or twice. For the sake of redemption,
In order to let his body recover as soon as possible, Zhang Tie is ready to persist in this matter for a long time.
An outsider suddenly wants to buy some earthworms that have never been bought before and use them as feed in a village to release them. 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 that this is the secret of treating diseases passed down from the East? I am afraid that everyone will regard themselves as crazy. What other reasons are there? What excuses are there for me to insist on doing this as a matter of course in the eyes of others instead of not
Does it make people feel strange?
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
To 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 or enslaved or about to be killed and then released them into the wild.
No wonder, 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, the sound of wheels turning on their axles came from behind. Zhang Tie turned around and saw an ox cart pulling half a cart of dried wheat straw slowly.
came over, and the driver was an old man in his sixties wearing a straw hat and white burlap clothes. Because the road beside the field was very narrow. Seeing the ox cart approaching, Zhang Tie quickly stood aside to let the ox cart pass.
The car passes.
"Young man, where are you going?" The old man driving the bullock cart asked enthusiastically when he saw Zhang Tie walking alone.
"Chivri!"
"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 onto 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.
"Earthworms, 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 role of earthworms is not to make animal feed!" Zhang Tie showed a pious and pure expression on his face, "If you put these small animals in the field in the wild, they will make the soil on the earth change.
When spring comes, it will become more fertile. The more fertile soil will make the earth more vital and make everything thrive. Those little things are gifts from the mother of the earth, Gaya!"
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 who drove 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 that raised earthworms so soon. Someone gave him a pillow just as he was about to fall asleep.
"Then how much 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.
"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 little things that are of little use!" The old man's face turned slightly red.
, the old man felt a little uncomfortable negotiating with a young man who wanted to do good things 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 the vitality of this land more vigorous, even if you spend a little more money, it doesn'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 it became possible for two oxcarts to 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 authentic 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 one 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 Chevri Village. It is a small village with only more than 100 households. This small village usually has few outsiders, especially Zhang Tie is a Chinese.
Zhang Tie, a young boy sitting on Harry's bullock cart, attracted the attention of many people as soon as he entered the village.
"Old Harry, who is this Chinese boy sitting in your car? Is he Hannah's man..." Someone asked side by side 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 tempered Zhang Tie's eyes, and he naturally knows what old Harry is worried about. Brape
The folk customs are simple, but not so simple that they have a grudge against money, especially in rural areas. The rural areas here are the same as those in other places. In addition to selling a little grain during the harvest season, everyone’s family usually earns
There are not many opportunities for extra money.
Zhang Tie soon saw the place where Harry raised earthworms in his house.
It was a small pond with a diameter of only seven or eight square meters, built on the ground with bricks and cement, and a depth of more than 30 centimeters. There was a fence around the small pond to prevent chickens and ducks from coming in to eat. The small pond was covered with some
It was covered with straw to block the sun, and underneath the straw, in the entire pit, there were piles of debris that seemed to be a mixture of cow dung, some chicken and duck dung, and soil——
This is where people raise earthworms. After piling up some livestock manure and garbage and covering it with straw, they 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 living being.
