【Chapter 154】 Please, Luna.
Seeing Luna's frightened expression, Alice sensed something was wrong, "Luna, are you sure? Three months ago...... How much did you rob?"
"Not much, just two or three sacks. ”
"That's bad!" Alice's heart sank.
"I'm not sure. Luna shook her head, looking distressed, "I haven't fed the horses, so I don't know how much they'll eat." Still, I guess, there's probably a few. ”
Elena's mind opened up again: "Luna, don't worry. It doesn't matter if you eat it all, maybe there are seeds in the horse manure that can germinate. I've seen little grass and flowers grow out of hardened horse manure before, and my dad told me it was undigested seeds. Go rummaging through horse manure and there may be surprises. ”
"Uh......" Luna is a little overwhelmed by Elena's whimsical and unique thinking.
"Yes. Elena's eyes sparkled, "As long as there is a seed that can sprout, with Luna's divine power, it can add up." ”
Luna scratched her head with an embarrassed face, "Looking for horse manure from three months ago?"
"It's easy to find, isn't it?" Elena seemed to be pleased that she had thought of a feasible solution: "There must be a lot of horse manure in the stables, right? ”
In the Middle Ages, farmers and aristocrats generally believed that dung was the most filthy thing, and that food was a gift from the Holy Spirit. So there is no such thing as fertilizing with manure, thinking that it will defile the Holy Spirit.
It's just that Elena is the daughter of a craftsman and has never farmed, so her ideas are so simple.
Cutie Lise and Luna are different, they understand it, and they feel very inappropriate for it. This kind of seed wrapped in feces - a bit blasphemous, right?
Even Linda was silent.
"Huh?" Elena didn't get the compliment, she looked a little disappointed, and her heart was even more uneasy: "What's wrong with you? Why don't you speak?"
"Elena. Linda looked at her with a smile: "You do have a lot of ideas, but you may not have farmed." Filthy excrement will defile the gifts of the gods. ”
"Huh?" Elena was stunned and subconsciously asked, "Which god?"
"Of course it'......" Linda's voice stopped abruptly, "yes, what is the source of this statement? It's the Church of the Holy Spirit, but now, we're believers in Krem." ”
"Alice ......"
Alice also reacted, remembering the harvest spirit doll to be prepared tomorrow, and now is not a good opportunity to ask about the consciousness of the gods?
"Great God, please enlighten us!" Alice knelt down on one knee and looked up, "I hope that the spirit of the harvest will be blessed by you." ”
Of course, fertilizer is indispensable for farming, and manure is the best natural fertilizer.
Qin Song, who listened to their conversation throughout the whole process, couldn't help but praise Elena's brain, but his tone remained calm enough: "Alice, filth is just a one-sided definition. The reason why people are stupid often comes from illusion and the experience of failure. Fools create poverty and hunger with their clumsy, stupid, inefficient, and even ridiculous perceptions. ”
The four witches listened attentively, and although they didn't understand well, they were always so philosophical.
"The most venomous snake has the most beautiful patterns, and the most beautiful mushroom kills. This is a good opportunity to instill the aesthetics of the restraint system, after all, the current self and the future self are all ugly and outrageous, and even the horse manure is better than yourself: "The acquisition of knowledge does not depend on the eyes, but on the brain and your heart." Everything in the world has two sides, ugliness does not mean uselessness, beauty does not equal beauty. ”
"Firewood is cold, it can burn the flame and bring warmth to people. Stone is cold, it can build castles, shelter from wind and rain. Like Linda, she has a terrible countenance, but who of you can deny that she has a heart that shines like gold. ”
This novel and peculiar theory touched them a little, and it is true that as the gods say, brightly colored poisonous snakes are often the deadliest, and beautiful mushrooms are just warning people not to approach.
Linda is a living example of this.
"Human beings have all sorts of uncertain shortcomings and prejudices, and the most striking of them is the measure of things, which is not based on their true value, or even on their own judgment, but listens to the opinions of others, often without regard for the judgments of others, and may not be reliable at all. (Note 1)"
The four witches were lost in thought, chewing on the philosophy of the sentence.
"The most senseless thing in the world is to arrange one's actions according to the bells, and not according to normal reason and wisdom. (Note 2) Qin Song's voice was slightly disappointed: "Close your eyes and put aside the prejudice of ugliness or beauty." If you think about it, flowers and plants can also grow in the dung. ”
The voice gradually dissipated away, and Qin Song did not tell Alice the good news that Liya was about to return. Since there is no danger anymore, let's surprise Alice.
"Close your eyes and think with your heart. ”
All four of them had retrospective expressions, racking their brains to try to understand what the god meant. Because the gods were so profound, they didn't answer Alice's question from beginning to end, but it sounded like they did, and the answer was hidden in the philosophy.
Elena who spoke first: "I think the gods are right. ”
The three of them looked at each other in unison, and Elena mustered up the courage to say, "Because the gods can't be wrong." ”
Belch......
All right.
We just wanted to hear what unique insights you have, and of course we know to be right.
"Luna, the philosophy of the gods is thought-provoking. I think, at least I understand, that things have to be viewed separately, that their true value is important, that beauty and ugliness are just our own perceptions, and many of them also come from other people's opinions. ”
Alice spoke the point she had come up with.
Luna frowned and pondered for a moment, "Alice, I agree with you. What I'm thinking about is that in the last sentence, flowers and plants will also bloom in horse manure. My ability can also produce flowers...... So?"
Elena's brain came alive again: "So horse manure is a bit like your abilities?" uh...... Sorry, I didn't mean that, I mean—maybe there's natural knowledge in that horse manure?"
"Hahaha......" Luna didn't care about the slightest offense, but leaned back with a smile, "Elena, sometimes I think you're really funny." However, the words of the gods cannot be wrong. So...... If it doesn't work, I'll try. It's a big deal to let my father send someone to turn out all the horse manure, and that's the only way to go. ”
"Please, Luna. ”
Alice had memorized all the steps to make the wheat candy, and even if it was digging corn out of horse manure, she would try it to prove the wisdom of the gods.
"Leave it to me!"
......
When the dawn of light, symbolizing the light, is sown on the land of the Black Stone Territory. The farmers are waking up earlier than at any time before, and these workers at the bottom of society, who have long been numb to life and worried about wintering, are also the best able to understand what a perfect autumn harvest means.
"Good morning, Piri. ”
"Happy Harvest Festival, Marcau. ”
"Looks like this winter is going to be much better. ”
"Haha, yes. That kind of scythe is amazing. ”
"I can't believe that we have harvested everything, including cotton. ”
"It's a good winter, isn't it?"
The peasants, peasant women, and children all got up early, and their rough faces showed a smile that they had not seen for a long time, and they could get more grain and some cotton, and their wish was so simple.
In the three farms, the farmers lined up in long lines, greeting each other, facing the rising red sun, and setting off towards the harvested wheat fields.
In the middle of the wheat field, since yesterday evening, under Karrick's arrangement, a simple wooden platform has been erected, surrounded by bundles of plump barley grains, as a sacrificial platform.
Usually you don't need this, you can do it directly in the open space. But this time it was different, they were going to sacrifice to a true god, and it had to be more solemn.
In the castle, the faces of the guards were also filled with festive joy, and they saw the warehouses full of grain, as well as countless white cotton, which was of high value, which meant that the Blackstone Fort would prosper.
"Linda, this dress suits you better. ”
Alice's bedroom is busy with the festival where they will dress up and worship their gods with the most solemn ceremonies.
Linda's height and stature are suitable for wearing Leah's dress, while Elena can barely wear her own dress. However, it was the first time for both of them to wear such clothes, and they were a little squirming and hesitant.
......
In the wind-whistling Black Rock Canyon, Leah, wearing a cloak and covering her face with a cloth, galloped in a carriage. In her sparkling eyes, there was a scene of longing and twilight.
The gray castle standing halfway up the hill has her youth and her thoughts. The vast field once left her laughter, and the patches of wheat ......
Wait a minute!!
What about the wheat fields?
The nearest Mel Farm to Blackstone Canyon has a clear outline. But the yellow wheat fields that should have been planted around them have disappeared cleanly!
Oh, my God!
What's going on?
