Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

The town of Tocanes was just north of Brape, a bustling town on the outskirts of the city, with a vast field next to it, and a few scattered farmsteads within a radius of a few kilometres, and it was estimated that the little boy said that her grandmother's house was in the vicinity.

Zhang Tie came to the town of Tokanse in a house, and when he arrived here, the four-wheeled carriage could no longer go into the wild, the road in the wilderness was full of potholes, only suitable for slow-moving ox carts or direct horseback riding, the kind of elegant househouses suitable for driving on the paved roads of the city, could only look at the road and sigh.

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

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

The surrounding fields are full of green and vibrant, and many farmers are working in the fields, which is the time when the countryside around Brape has just finished planting autumn wheat.

When the wheat is harvested next summer, Brape also has a grand wheat harvesting festival, and now, listening to the coachman who just came, in order to celebrate the planting of wheat seeds and a good harvest of the year, Brape's most lively beer festival of the year will be held next month, and when it comes to Brape's beer festival, the girls of the whole Brape will take out their brewed beer on that day, The unmarried girls who brew the best beer will be the stars of all Brape's chasing, and in the eyes of Brape men, they can take such a woman. That's the greatest happiness.

Zhang Tie walked on the road, looking at the surrounding idyllic scenery, while thinking about all the details of saving those earthworms this time, this is not a one-shot deal, a small fight can be released once or twice, for the fruit of redemption, in order to make his body heal 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 in a village that no one has ever bought for fodder and release them, no matter where they are, this matter will cause some criticism from others, if you don't want to be the focus of others at this moment. If you don't want to encounter some inexplicable obstruction in the matter of releasing yourself, it is better to think of a reason that can convince others and make people take it for granted.

Sue others: Is this the secret of the Oriental secret of curing diseases? I'm afraid everyone will think of themselves as crazy. What other reasons are there to justify sticking to this thing in the eyes of others without making people feel strange?

Zhang Tie thought of the Greppians, a sect that worships nature. The teachings of this sect include the idea of caring for the natural world and allowing it to restore balance. They love flowers and plants. Nature also loves small animals, maybe you can make a fuss about this, I heard Mama Teresa say that some people in this sect do seem to have some things that are imprisoned or enslaved or are about to be killed and released back to nature.

I can't say, this time I have to activate the cave savage survival mode again-Zhang Tie muttered in his heart.

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 pulling half a cart of dried wheat stalks slowly approaching, driven by an old man in his sixties wearing a straw hat and wearing white coarse linen clothes. Because the road in Tanabe is very narrow. Seeing the ox cart coming, Zhang Tie hurriedly stood aside so that the ox cart could pass.

"Where are you going, young man?" The old man who was driving the ox cart saw Zhang Tie walking alone, so he asked enthusiastically.

"Chevri!"

"Hehe, if you don't dislike it, then get in the car, I'm about to get to Chevri!" The old man stopped the ox cart.

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

"Young man, you don't seem to be from the village of Chevri, where do you go to find friends or relatives?" The old man asked.

"Well, I did just come to Brape, and when I came to Chevri this time, I heard that there are many people there who have earthworms and want to see them!" Seeing that this old man might be a local of Chevri, Zhang Tie's "Cave Savage Survival Mode" was instantly activated.

"Earthworm, what's there to see?" The old man driving the ox cart asked curiously, "Isn't that something that only chickens and ducks are interested in?" ”

"The biggest role of earthworms is not to be used as animal feed!" Zhang Tie showed a pious and pure expression on his face, "If you put these small animals in the field, they will make the soil on the earth more fertile when spring comes, and the more fertile soil can make the vitality of the earth more vigorous, so that all of them will flourish, and those little things are gifts from Gaya, the mother of the earth, to this land!" ”

Hearing Zhang Tie say this, a look of surprise flashed on the face of the old man who was driving the car, and he looked at Zhang Tie again, "Are you still a believer in the Grepis Sect?" ”

"Yes, I used to live in Black Flame City, and that's where I came into contact with the Grepis 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 Chevli Village and many surrounding villages, what you said is very reasonable, but if you want to use your reasoning to let the earthworm keepers give you the earthworms they raised for nothing, it is estimated that it will be very difficult, but you can also try, maybe there are really people 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, you're going to buy those useless things?" The old man was even more surprised.

"Of course, even as devout followers of the Greppis Sect, there is nothing in the teachings of the Sect that tells us that in order to do the right thing, we can plunder other people's property or make others suffer to support you!"

After listening to Zhang Tie's words, after a few seconds, the old man who was driving the car asked Zhang Tie in a slightly embarrassed whisper, "That...... If you want to buy it, how much money are you going to pay, I also have a pond of earthworms at home! ”

Zhang Tie didn't expect to meet a family of earthworms so soon, and someone sent a pillow just after he wanted to fall asleep.

"And how much do you think I have to pay to get the earthworm keepers in Chevri village to sell me their earthworms?" Zhang Tie asked the old man rhetorically.

"As long as you can produce 2o for a pool of earthworms...... No, for 18 silver coins, I guess many people will be happy to sell you those little things that don't have much use! The old man's face was slightly red, and haggling with a young man who wanted to do good things for some small things that no one wanted in the first place made the old man feel a little uncomfortable.

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

"Then, I'll just take out 21 silver coins from a pool of earthworms......" Zhang Tie said seriously, with a sad and compassionate attitude on his face, "As long as you can let those cute little things return to the arms of Gaya, the mother of the earth, and make the vitality of this land more vigorous, even if you have a little extra money, it's nothing." ”

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

The ox cart swayed on the country road, and after walking out of the path on the edge of the field, the road was a little wider, and it became possible for two ox carts to stagger through, but the road situation was still not good, Zhang Tie sat on the ox cart and chatted with the old man, and gradually knew a lot of things.

The old man's name is Harry, he is an authentic farmer in Chevli Village, there are indeed a lot of people who raise earthworms in Chevli Village, and there are many people in the surrounding villages.

After more than ten minutes of shaky bumps, Zhang Tie finally arrived at Chevri Village, which is a small village with only more than 1oo households, this small village usually rarely has outsiders to come, especially Zhang Tie is still a Chinese teenager, Zhang Tie sat in Harry's ox cart and entered the village, which attracted the attention of many people.

"Old man Harry, who is this Chinese boy sitting in your car, is it Hannah's man......" someone asked on the side of the road.

"Go, go, go......" Old man Harry waved his whip impatiently, not to say what Zhang Tie was here for, and when there were few people, he turned his head a little nervously and whispered to Zhang Tie, "This...... Our earthworm ......"

"Don't worry, I must buy yours first, and then I will consider someone else's!" A few years of working in a grocery store had trained Zhang Tie's eyes, and he naturally knew what Old Man Harry was worried about. Brape's folk customs are simple, but there is no such thing as being so simple that he has a grudge against money, especially in the countryside, where the countryside is the same as in all places, except for the harvest season when a little grain can be sold, there are not many opportunities for everyone to earn extra money.

Zhang Tie soon saw where Harry's family kept earthworms.

It was a small pond with a diameter of only seven or eight square meters, built on the ground with bricks and cement more than 30 centimeters deep, and around the small pond was a fence to prevent chickens and ducks from coming in to gouge, and the small pond was covered with some straw to block the sun, and under the straw, in the whole pit, there were some accumulations that seemed to be cow dung mixed with some chicken and duck manure and soil.

This is where people raise earthworms, and after piling up some livestock manure and garbage, they can be covered with straw and left alone as a source of feed for chickens and ducks.

Zhang Tie knew that all his hopes, as well as that sacred, redemptive miracle, were buried in this filthy dung heap and garbage.

For the first time, Zhang Tie was full of awe of the arrangement that the Creator placed on every life.
