Chapter 1160: The Drought is about to come out
After settling Dior and Mai Yuqiang, Liu Xing was about to leave the farm and go to Sawada Construction, but he was stopped by Guchuan Xiaofu before he could go out.
"Mr. Liu Xing, we haven't seen each other for a long time."
Kofu Gukawa took out a key from his pocket and said seriously: "We have always remembered the life-saving grace of you and Mr. Yin Eun, but we haven't found a suitable opportunity to repay you during this time, so now please accept this key, it can open a house in Tokyo, and there are other things inside." β
Liu Xing nodded, took the key and said, "Then I'll be disrespectful, but then again, what's going on over there, do you need me to help you do something?" β
Originally, Liu Xing just wanted to be polite, but he didn't expect that Guchuan Xiaofu's eyes lit up when he heard Liu Xing say this, and he immediately pulled Liu Xing towards the territory of worshipping the Yellow Cloth Sect, "We have encountered some small problems over there, if Mr. Liu Xing can help us, it will be great." β
At this point, Liu Xing could only change his plan and follow Guchuan Xiaofu first.
"Here's the thing, we had prepared enough building materials to ensure that the people behind us could live in the farm, but we found a problem, that is, the soil of the farm was a little loose, so the prefabricated houses we prepared could not be arranged as smoothly as we expected, because if we had to force the previous plan, then some prefabricated houses would have to become basements."
Hearing Guchuan Xiaofu say this, Liu Xing couldn't help frowning, because when Liu Xing's grandfather lived in his hometown, he would plant something on the one-third of an acre of land in his hometown, and whether it grew well or not depended on fate, because this land was more than ten kilometers away from Liu Xing's grandfather's residence, so he would only take a car once a week to fertilize and remove insects, and then water it in summer.
So Liu Xing sometimes goes back with his grandparents, although it can't help much, but it's okay... Well, Liu Xing has to admit that he went on an outing at that time, and when his grandparents were working, he ran to catch crickets next to him.
However, Liu Xing still has some understanding of the soil, because Liu Xing's grandfather likes to tell Liu Xing some knowledge that is not in books, so Liu Xing still knows very well that the soil of a farm cannot be too loose, unless this farm originally grows watermelons.
But when Liu Xing arrived at the farm yesterday, he also saw a poster posted at the gate of the farm a year ago, which said in black and white that this farm originally grew all kinds of fruits and vegetables, and provided fresh supplies for supermarkets or restaurants in Nagoya City for a long time... On top of that, the farm also claims to be using black soil shipped from China!
So it stands to reason that the soil quality of this farm should not be so bad.
Thinking of this, Liu Xing squatted down and dug the soil casually, and found that the soil under his feet seemed to be not bad.
"Mr. Liu Xing, you have to dig a little deeper."
As he spoke, Guchuan Xiaofu took out a switchblade from his pocket, and then dug down the pit dug by Liu Xing, and then at a distance of about twenty centimeters from the surface, the soil was really loose.
And what makes Liu Xing most strange is that the weather has not been dry recently, but the soil in the ground has dried up and turned into pieces, and it turns into powder when you pinch it, and it looks like there is no moisture at all.
"What's going on? Could it be that the farm burned its own land and then re-covered it with a new layer of soil? β
Liu Xing looked at Guchuan Xiaofu and asked, "Xiaofu, how large of an area can you be sure that such a situation has occurred?" β
"All!"
Kofu Gukawa replied very seriously: "When we installed the mobile toilet, we found that there was something wrong with the soil quality over there, and we didn't think about it that much at the beginning, but the more we got to the back, the more we found that the situation seemed to be a little wrong, so I will come to you now." β
Liu Xing nodded and analyzed seriously: "Could it be that this farm sells dog meat with a sheep's head?" Take other people's fruits and vegetables to pass off as your own fresh products to make the difference? But there is no need for this, such a large farm needs to cost a lot, it is better to be a second-hand dealer directly; It seems that it is now necessary to investigate the original background of this farm. β
Liu Xing said as he sent a text message about the current situation to Alice.
Soon, Liu Xing came to the territory divided into the Yellow Cloth Sect, that is, the original field of the farm.
As mentioned on the previous poster, the surface of this field is indeed pure black soil, because Liu Xing had seen real black soil in high school, because the homeroom teacher as a geography teacher collected all kinds of famous soils from all over the country.
However, like the situation outside, this layer of black soil is more than ten centimeters thick, and if you go down, it will be dry loess, and there is no life at all.
"It doesn't make sense, if there is just a layer of more than ten centimeters of black soil, you can only plant some vegetables with underdeveloped roots and no requirements for the thickness of the land to fill the faΓ§ade, then it is better to add an extra layer of ordinary loess below, so that there are more things that can be planted, and you can also really take out the products, not to mention that there is a small ranch outside that can consume the vegetables here... Looks like there's something wrong with the farm's origins. β
Liu Xing touched his chin and began to think about a question, that is, whether this farm would be a trap set by the public faction.
The reason is simple, although there is a lot of vacant land near Nagoya City, but that land is pure wasteland, not only does there not have a single building on it, but there are also no supporting facilities nearby, so this farm is the best place for foreign samurai factions to find a place to live.
Therefore, as long as there is no accident, this farm will definitely be taken by the forces of a certain martial arts faction, so the forces of the public faction that predicted this can make some arrangements in advance.
Of course, when Liu Xing and the others arrived at the farm yesterday, they did not forget to check the suspicious areas when tidying up the farm to ensure that there were no organs left by the public faction on the farm.
"I just sent someone to investigate, this is the original owner of the farm is an ordinary businessman, and he has several restaurants in his hands, so he will open such a farm to provide raw materials for his own restaurant, so that it can reduce costs, and secondly, it can also have a gimmick to raise prices; As a result, the merchant restaurant closed down for various reasons, but the farm became more and more prosperous and was affirmed by many customers. β
"So the original owner of the farm ran the farm with peace of mind, and soon this farm became one of the most famous farms in Nagoya, of course, there were more and more customers, so the original owner of the farm was ready to take the boutique route, so he transported a lot of black soil from Huaxia, and used this as a selling point to increase his reputation and price, as a result, in the first three years, the reputation of this farm is very good, and the annual income is directly the highest in the farm circle of the entire island country."
"But three years later, that is, two years ago, the quality of the fruits and vegetables and milk eggs sold by this farm is getting worse and worse, so the reputation of the farm has been seriously affected, and as a result, some so-called inside information broke out at this time, such as a certain employee claimed that the farm used a lot of fertilizers and pesticides, and sold some substandard products, such as tomatoes or something, at a high price.
"It is worth mentioning that this farm has refuted the so-called inside information many times, and has come up with a lot of favorable evidence, but at the time of the avalanche, every snowflake is brave to the end of the world, who cares if your evidence is true or not, so after the collapse of this farm, some people think that it does not deserve to die, or that this farm is deliberately smeared by competitors, and the original owner of the farm also handed over the land to his son to take care of after the farm closed down, Then he went to the field to recuperate. β
"Of course, this is said to be a care, in fact, it is to directly vacate the farm, and then put the land up for sale, but the interesting thing is that the listing price of this land is directly nearly one-third cheaper than its similar land, this discount can be said to be quite good, but the interesting thing is that before your Sawada family bought this land, there were two buyers of this land who came to inspect the entity, and then there was no news; At the beginning, I thought that the two buyers had discovered that the farm had a problem with the soil quality of the farm, so it was not suitable to rebuild a new farm or build a house, so the buyer chose to give up and made the situation of the land public. β
"Wait, if that's the case, we should be able to hear some rumors when we buy this land."
Liu Xing shook his head and said seriously: "Judging from the experience of the original owner of this farm, he should really want to take this farm as his last industry, so he is very concerned about it, otherwise this farm would not have survived three years before it had problems, and at the time of the accident, the products of this farm only had a decline in quality, and there were no quality problems, so we should be able to rule out that the current soil quality problem was deliberately done by the original owner of the farm." β
"That's right, in fact, I thought so, and I think the original owner of the farm must have struggled with this for a while, because when digging the sewage storage tank needed for the toilet, I found that the dry loess was also clearly layered, and it seemed that someone was constantly putting new soil on it."
As he spoke, Guchuan Xiaofu took Liu Xing to the sewage reservoir in his mouth.
As Guchuan said, Liu Xing could see at a glance that there were five obvious dividing lines in the five-meter-deep sewage storage tank, and some impurities such as leaves appeared in these soil layers, which looked like soil with biofertilizer.
It seems that the original owner of this farm is not reconciled, but he can't find a better way to deal with it, so he can only keep adding new soil to maintain the quality of fruits and vegetables, but he has fallen into an unsolvable vicious circle, causing the whole farm to collapse; But who exactly did it? I don't think I'm able to do that ... β
A flash of inspiration flashed in Liu Xing's mind, and he suddenly thought of a mythical creature - Drought Fish!
As soon as the drought comes out, the red land is thousands of miles!
The Drought Ray is one of the most powerful zombies in the legend, and when it reappears, it will make the surrounding land extremely arid, as Liu Xing sees now, so in ancient times, whenever there was a large and prolonged drought, the locals would think that there were Drought Fish in their land.
However, in many cases, the drought does not exist, because Liu Xing has asked Zhang Jingxu related questions before, wanting to see if there is an old ruler called the drought in this world set in the Cthulhu mythos, after all, the drought can be thousands of miles away, and it is already worthy of the title of the old ruler.
As a result, Zhang Jingxu told Liu Xing that Huaxia Daomen had indeed discovered and captured, or killed a few marls, but these marls were not yet at the level of the old rulers, because they were still human beings in nature, so their MP value was enough for them to release a certain high temperature in a short period of time, and at most the water in the land within a radius of 100 meters would evaporate... If it is for a pond, the drought can at most evaporate a pond the size of an average classroom.
Therefore, in fact, it is not "a thousand miles of dry land, a thousand miles of red land", but "a thousand miles of red land, a thousand miles of dry land", which is to put it bluntly, ordinary people have misunderstood the relationship between chickens and eggs.
Of course, this is actually normal, after all, ordinary people don't know that the birth of the drought needs a great drought for many years, so that some mages who are already resentful and have a certain strength base themselves can be resurrected in the form of a drought... However, if you enter the coffin with something cursed, you have a higher chance of becoming a marb.
So, is there a marble coming back to life at the bottom of this farm?
After three years of great drought, there will be drought.
Although this sentence is not accurate, it also shows that it will take nearly three years for the drought to be truly resurrected, and it has been about two years since the problems began to appear on this farm.
This means that if there is a drought in the ground of this farm, then it is almost born!
