Chapter 19 Chevry

The town of Tocanis is just to the north of Bulape. It is a small town on the outskirts of the city, and it looks like a prosperous town. Next to the town is a vast field. There are scattered farms. It is estimated that her grandma's house that the little boy mentioned is in the nearby farms.

Zhang Tie came to the town of Tocanis in a Haustais. When he arrived here, the four-wheeled carriage could no longer go to the wild. This wild road is full of potholes and is only suitable for slow-moving ox carts or direct horseback riding. , the kind of elegant house style suitable for driving on urban paved roads, can only look forward to the road and sigh.

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

Brape's folk customs are simple and honest, and Zhang Tie has his lieutenant's military certificate in his pocket, so even if he acts alone, he is not afraid of any trouble.

The surrounding fields are full of green and vibrant scenes, and many farmers are working in the fields. This season is the time when the autumn wheat has just been planted in the countryside around Brape.

There is beer only when there is wheat, so growing wheat is a big event in Brape. When the wheat is harvested next summer, Brape will have a grand wheat harvest festival. Now, according to the driver who just came, In order to celebrate the planting of wheat seeds and a good harvest of the year, Brape's most lively Oktoberfest of the year will be held next month. When it comes to Brape's Oktoberfest, all the girls in Brape will put Take out the beer you brew yourself, and the unmarried girls who brew the best beer will become the stars pursued by all the Brape boys. In the eyes of the Brape men, they can take such a woman. That is the greatest happiness.

Zhang Tie was walking on the road, looking at the surrounding rural scenery, while thinking about all the details of saving those earthworms this time. In order to let his body recover as soon as possible, Zhang Tie has made preparations to persist in this matter for a long time.

A foreigner suddenly wants to buy some earthworms in a village that no one has ever bought before and use them as feed to release them. This matter will arouse some criticism no matter where it is. If you don't want your current self to be the focus of others, and if you don't want to encounter some inexplicable obstacles in the matter of releasing your life, you'd better think of a reason that can convince others and make people take it for granted.

Tell others that this is an oriental secret to cure diseases? I'm afraid everyone will think of themselves as crazy. For other reasons, what excuses can I take for granted in the eyes of others and insist on doing this without making people feel strange?

Zhang Tie thought of the Grypis sect. This is a sect that advocates nature. The teachings of this sect include the concept of caring for all things in nature and restoring the balance of nature. They love flowers and plants, and naturally they also love small animals. Maybe they can make a fuss about it and listen to it for yourself. Sister Leisa said. Some people in this sect seem to have released certain animals that were imprisoned, enslaved, or about to be killed, and then released back to nature.

Undoubtedly, this time the cave savage survival mode will be activated again——Zhang Tie muttered to himself.

After walking for nearly a kilometer on the path in the field, there was the sound of creaking wheels turning on the axle behind him. Zhang Tie turned his head and saw an ox cart slowly approaching with half a cart of dried wheat stalks. The driver was an old man in his sixties wearing a straw hat and white linen clothes.

Because the road beside the field is very narrow, I saw a bullock cart coming. Zhang Tie quickly stood aside to let the bullock cart pass by.

"Young man, where are you going?" The old man driving the ox cart asked enthusiastically when he saw Zhang Tie walking alone.

"Chefry!"

"Hehe, if you don't mind, get in the car, I'm going to Chevri!" The old man stopped the ox 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 Chefli Village. Where can you find friends or relatives?" the old man asked.

"Well, I just came to Bulape not long ago. When I came to Chevli this time, I heard that there are many people raising earthworms there. I want to go and see!" Seeing that the old man might be a local from Chevli , Zhang Tie's "Cave Savage Survival Mode" starts instantly.

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

"The biggest function of earthworms is not to be used as feed for animals!" Zhang Tie showed a pious and pure expression on his face, "If these small animals are released in the wild, they will make the soil on the ground When spring comes, it becomes more fertile, and more fertile soil can make the earth more vigorous and make everything flourish. Those little things are the gift from the mother of the earth, Ga Ya, to this land!"

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

"Yes, I used to live in Black Flame City, that's where I came into contact with the Grypis Sect, and I'm their devotee!" Zhang Tie said with a smile.

The old man driving the car hesitated for a moment, "It is true that there are many people raising earthworms in Chefli Village and many surrounding villages, what you said is very reasonable, but if you want to use your reasoning to let the earthworm farmers raise them for nothing It may be very difficult to give you the earthworms, but you can also try, maybe someone is really willing to do this!"

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

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

"Of course, even as a devout believer of the Grypis sect, the sect's teachings don't tell us that in order to do a right thing, we can plunder other people's property or let others suffer to support you!"

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

Zhang Tie didn't expect to meet a family who raises earthworms so soon. He was really offered a pillow just as he was about to fall asleep.

"Then how much do you think I will have to pay to get those earthworm farmers in Chefli Village to sell their earthworms to me?" Zhang Tie asked the old man back.

"As long as you can pay 20 for a pool of earthworms... No, as long as 18 silver coins, I guess many people will be happy to sell you those little things that are not of much use!" The old man's face turned slightly red , the old man felt a little uncomfortable haggling with a young man who wanted to do good for some little thing that no one wanted.

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

"Then, I'll pay 21 silver coins for a pool of earthworms..." Zhang Tie said solemnly, with a look of compassion on his face, "As long as those cute little things can return to the embrace of the mother of the earth, Ga Ya , can make the vitality of this land more vigorous, even if you pay a little more money, it's nothing."

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

The bullock cart was walking unsteadily on the small road in the country. After walking out of the trail beside the field, the road became wider and it became possible for two bullock carts 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 Chefli Village. There are indeed many people raising earthworms in Chefli Village, and there are also many people in the surrounding villages. People here raise earthworms. One is because it is convenient to raise earthworms. The second is that if you raise earthworms and use them to make duck feed, you can save a lot of food in the future.

After more than ten minutes of staggering, Zhang Tie finally arrived at Chefli Village, which is a small village with only more than 100 households. There are few outsiders in this small village, especially Zhang Tie is a Chinese. Zhang Tie, a young boy sitting in Harry's bullock cart, attracted many people's attention as soon as he entered the village.

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

"Go, go..." Old Harry waved his whip impatiently, but he didn't say what Zhang Tie was here for. When there were few people, he turned his head nervously and whispered to Zhang Tie, "This... ...the earthworms in our house..."

"Don't worry, I will buy yours first before considering other people's!" Zhang Tie's eyes have been sharpened by working in a grocery store for several years, and he naturally knows what old man Harry is worried about. Brape's folk customs are simple, but not so simple as to have a grudge against money, especially in the countryside. The countryside here is the same as the countryside in all places. Except for selling a little grain during the harvest season, everyone usually There are not many opportunities for people to earn extra money at home.

Zhang Tie soon saw the place where Harry's house raised earthworms.

It was a small pool with a diameter of only seven or eight square meters, built with bricks and cement, and a depth of more than 30 centimeters. A fence was inserted around the small pool to prevent chickens and ducks from coming in for food. The small pool was covered with some The straw covered the sun, and under the straw, in the entire pit, there were piles of piles that seemed to be a mixture of cow dung, some chicken and duck droppings, and soil——

This is the place where people raise earthworms. After they pile up some livestock manure and garbage and cover them with straw, they can ignore the source of feed for chickens and ducks.

Zhang Tie knew that all his hopes, as well as that holy miracle of redemption, were buried in this filthy dung heap and rubbish.

For the first time, Zhang Tie was in awe of the Creator's arrangements for every life.
