"Grandpa, who is he?"
Just as Zhang Tie and Harry were standing next to the earthworm pond and looking at the dung pile, a girl carrying a milk jug walked over from the grass behind Harry's house...
The girl who came over had her sleeves rolled up and was wearing a white regimental pattern shirt, a blue tight-fitting vest outside the shirt, a light blue skirt on the lower body, and an apron on the skirt. This outfit is made of cloth. The favorite dress of farm girls in Lappe and the entire Andaman Union.
The girl is eighteen or nineteen years old. She seems to be a little older than Zhang Tie. She is very good-looking. She has a scarf on her hair and two big golden braids hanging from her ears. She has a rosy face and dazzling eyes. The colors of youth shone in the sun, and the tight-fitting vest on the girl exaggeratedly outlined the curves of her waist and chest.
The physical development of these rural girls is even more amazing than that of the girls in the Rose Club. But their beauty is the same.
Zhang Tie only glanced at this girl and felt a little shy. This young and capable girl holding a milk bottle was also a heifer. And all cows have huge lethality for Zhang Tie at this age.
"Hannah, this is a guest at our house, here to buy earthworms!" Harry explained.
"Come to buy earthworms?" Hannah, who had just milked the cow, came over with a milk bottle, looked at Zhang Tie curiously, and then asked Zhang Tie bluntly, "You are not a liar, are you?"
"Of course not, your grandpa and I have discussed it. We will pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other!" Zhang Tie said with a smile. At the same time, he couldn't help but secretly take a look at this girl's breasts, which were even bigger than Sharapova and Alice. , g cup. With his eyesight honed among the girls in the Rose Club, Zhang Tie estimated Hannah's size at a glance. What a heifer. Zhang Tie swallowed quietly again.
"Are you rich? Why would you buy something like this that no one wants?"
"Ideals and beliefs cannot be measured by money!" Zhang Tie's words and deeds in the cave savage survival mode are hard to find fault with.
The girl looked at Zhang Tie with suspicious eyes.
"Hannah, this young man is a devout believer in the Gripis sect..." Old Harry next to him repeated the nonsense Zhang Tie told him.
This kind of lie can indeed be convincing. After all, with these little things everywhere, how can any idiot come over and spend money to buy earthworms
After hearing Old Harry's explanation, Hannah still looked at Zhang Tie with a hint of interest. As soon as he saw the expression his granddaughter showed towards this black-haired boy, Old Harry, as a veteran, quickly pushed Hannah away and said, "Hannah, did you just milk the cow? Why don't you hurry up and put the milk away?" Take it to the kitchen and filter it. Then boil it. It won’t taste good if it’s been left for a long time.”
Old Harry didn't want to get his granddaughter involved for a few silver coins. All women were first interested in that man before they were tricked into sleeping with a man and getting pregnant. Who knows how long a foreigner like Zhang Tie can stay in Brape? We can't let this kid make Hannah's belly bigger and then run away. Even if this kid is a devout believer in the Gripis sect, Gray There is no dogma in the Pisi sect that prohibits him from making other women's bellies bigger.
Hannah took the milk bottle and left. Before leaving, he turned to look at Zhang Tie again.
Seeing Hannah leaving, Zhang Tieze and Old Harry continued to chat about earthworms. Old Harry collected a small part of the straw covering the pile of dung. He poked it inside with a small stick nearby and peeled away a layer of dung. Zhang Tie saw more than a dozen earthworms swarming under the dung after seeing the light. Each earthworm hurriedly wriggled its body. Shrink into the dirt.
These earthworms are very fat and strong. Without themselves, the final fate of these earthworms is to become fodder for chickens and ducks.
"Approximately how many earthworms are there in such a pit?" Zhang Tie asked Old Harry.
"There must be at least a hundred thousand. No one has counted them. Anyway, this thing reproduces very quickly and has a strong reproductive capacity. Each earthworm will lay eggs three or four times a year, with dozens of eggs each time. One earthworm can lay eggs every time. Hundreds of them are born every year. We often shovel out some earthworms from them to use as feed for chickens and ducks. As long as we pile some garbage and cow dung on top, the new earthworms will grow out in a few days. Never seen before!"
"Do you have any tools here? I can't do it with my bare hands if I want to drag the earthworms and dung from this pond to the wild to find a place to bury them!"
"Of course. I have a cart for pulling cow dung and a shovel at home. If you can't do it alone, for two silver coins a day, I can find two helpers for you!"
"Okay!" After thinking about it, Zhang Tie took out his wallet and counted out twenty-five silver coins and handed it to Old Harry. "Twenty-one silver coins are for buying earthworms, and one silver coin is for me to rent." You still have 3 silver coins for your car and tools, just help me find a helper in the village!"
Old Harry, who was holding the silver coins, suddenly had a smile on his face. After a while, a man-powered cart that still smelled of cow dung, two shovels, and a strong young man appeared in front of Zhang Tie. The young man in front of him is also the grandson of old Harry and the brother of Hannah.
Unexpectedly, the pile of earthworms at home could be sold for 21 silver coins. Today, I can earn 3 silver coins. I can even rent tools. Hannah's brother and Old Harry's family are very happy.
Generous people are welcomed wherever they go.
As soon as the tools were brought, Zhang Tie and Hannah's brother started working together. After removing the straw covering the earthworms, the two of them directly shoveled the earthworms in the small pond along with the dung. A shovelful of it was shoveled onto the car.
Zhang Tie was full of excitement. He didn't expect that today's affairs would go so smoothly.
Zhang Tie, whose physical strength was already much weaker than before, worked with the shovel for less than three minutes before he was out of breath. He rested with the shovel on the side, while Hannah's eldest brother became more and more energetic as he worked.
"Haha, just rest. I can do this work alone!" Seeing Zhang Tie's frail look, Hannah's eldest brother laughed and danced the shovel very fast. In just a few minutes, the cart pulling cow dung was full. There are tens of thousands of earthworms anyway.
Seeing those earthworms rolling around in the car, Zhang Tie quickly brought some straw and covered the mound of soil in the car to block the light for those cute earthworms.
"Where will this car be taken?" Hannah's eldest brother asked Zhang Tie.
"I'm not very familiar with the nearby terrain. If you think it's suitable for these earthworms to make their home, I'll just follow you!"
In the end, Hannah's eldest brother personally pushed the cart and took Zhang Tie to a river ditch south of Chevli Village. This river had been dug two years ago, and the bottom of the river embankment was filled with silt dug up from the river. There were many trees planted by the river, and further away was the vegetable field. Many people piled the rotten vegetable leaves and other things in the vegetable field into a large grassy depression near the river. Zhang Tie saw that Take a look. I found that the environment here is really suitable for earthworms to survive.
Zhang Tie personally took a shovel and shoveled away the soil near the depression. He saw that the underground soil here was soft and there were really many earthworms living here. Once the soil was shoveled away, only one earthworm could see the light. The strips shrank into the soil.
For those earthworms who used to live in small ponds and whose purpose of existence was to one day become fodder for chickens and ducks, this place. Although it is not paradise, it is almost like a paradise.
Now that we have decided to choose this place as the place to release the earthworms, the matter of giving birth will be simple. Zhang Tie and Hannah's brother worked together to dig another hole on the ground here, about thirty to forty centimeters deep. They shoveled the dung and earthworms from the car into the pit they dug, and then sprinkled a layer of fine soil on top of the pit. The earthworms in the car settled down in this place.
This process of releasing earthworms. It was like civil engineering work. Zhang Tie and Hannah's brother worked together for almost a whole day. It was only then that 95% of the earthworms and manure in the earthworm pond in Old Harry's house were cleaned out. In the last seven or eight square meters of the pond, only a dustpan-sized area was left untouched. Old Harry said that the earthworm pond was Leave a seed so that you don't have to dig outside again. If you add some manure and garbage to the pond, the pond will be filled with earthworms in less than a year.
Just like that, Zhang Tie and Hannah's brother drove the cart back and forth many times in Chevli Village all day long. Zhang Tie's purchase of earthworms suddenly spread in the village, and the whole Chevli Village Farmers all know that a devout believer of the Gripis sect has come to Chevri Village and wants to release the earthworms they raise into the wild. This man is not only pious, but also very generous. Old Harry's family made a lot of money today. For 25 silver coins, in Chevri, you can earn so much extra money in one day, which is already an enviable figure. Isn't it just a little earthworm? Can that thing still be sold for money
Zhang Tie's generosity allowed him to receive a warm reception at Old Harry's house and enjoy a free lunch and a free dinner. Because Zhang Tie was concerned about the fruit of redemption, he had no intention of waiting until after dinner. I stayed at old Harry's house for a while, and wanted to go back to my place immediately to see if the little tree had produced any fruit.
After such a day, Hannah became more interested in Zhang Tie. During the meal, she kept asking Zhang Tie questions. When she saw that Zhang Tie was leaving, Old Harry breathed a sigh of relief. He also ordered Hannah's eldest brother to drive Zhang Tie to the town of Tokanis in an ox cart.
When he walked out of Old Harry's house, Zhang Tie was shocked. A large number of people were waiting at the door of Old Harry's house, as if they were waiting for him to come out.
"This young man with black hair sitting on the bullock cart is the devout believer of the Gripis sect..." Someone in the crowd shouted, and many people gathered around him.
"Do you want earthworms? I also raise a lot of earthworms at home..."
"I have one at home too!"
"My earthworm pond is bigger than old Harry's, and there are more earthworms in it than old Harry's. I only need 20 silver coins to sell them all to you..."
"I only want 19!"
Seeing a lot of people talking around him, Zhang Tie suddenly became dizzy. Zhang Tie stood on the bullock cart and shouted, "Quiet!"
Everyone fell silent and looked at Zhang Tie who was standing on the bullock cart. Zhang Tie, who had been an officer in the Iron Blood Battalion, had a special aura of uncompromising self-confidence since he came off the battlefield. He could definitely control the scene at this time.
"Everyone, please go back first. I will come back in the next few days. I want all the earthworms in Chevri Village. One by one, I only want the ones raised in the earthworm pond at home. I don't want the ones dug in the wild. The price is still the same as today." Same!"
Zhang Tieyi said that everyone left with satisfaction.
Hannah stood at the door of her house, looking at Zhang Tie who was standing on the bullock cart and persuaded everyone to go back with a few words. Her eyes flickered, not knowing what she was thinking.
Zhang Tie didn't know that as a Chinese boy with good looks, he was completely different from the tall and stout boys in the countryside in the eyes of many girls in the village. His whole person is actually full of a strange "exotic style". This strange "exotic" and the things he does in the village will make many girls like Hannah interested in him.
…
By the time Zhang Tie returned to his rented place, the sky had completely darkened, and the sound of violins still sounded from the Green couple's first floor at this time. The sound of children playing could be heard from the young couple's house on the second floor. The third floor was still empty, except for a small note posted on the door of their room.
"I'm sorry last night. Thank you for taking care of you. If your clothes are dirty, you can take them downstairs. Put them at my door and I will wash them for you. -Linda"
It turned out that the woman's name was Lin, and she seemed to have come to look for me!
To this day, he no longer cares about this little thing, a drunk woman. There was no need to argue with her about this. Zhang Tie smiled, tore off the note, opened the door and walked into the house.
Zhang Tie at this moment. My heart was already boiling, but I just forced myself to stay calm.
Patience is a virtue! Zhang Tie reminded himself again.
Because I sweated too much today. The work he did was not considered clean. Zhang Tie's whole body still smelled of dirt and garbage. Before entering the Black Iron Castle, Zhang Tie took ten minutes to take a bath and change his clothes. A set of clothes.
…
Welcome to the Black Iron Castle, the handsome and majestic Lord of the Castle!
When this line of handwriting slowly disappeared, Zhang Tie took a deep breath and walked towards the little technique.
The little tree did not disappoint Zhang Tie, or in other words, the true law of cause and effect did not disappoint Zhang Tie. On the branches in the center of the little tree, two fruits were hanging there quietly at this moment.
Those two fruits are both fruits of salvation, one is light green and the other has turned pink, just like two peaches, one is ripe and the other is not yet ripe.
The light green fruit of salvation is "the power of the golden unicorn", which is not yet ripe. Zhang Tie didn't need to look, Zhang Tie just stretched out his hand towards the pink heart-shaped peach.
-The fruit of salvation - Earthworm's Gratitude, has matured, how to use it, eat it directly after picking it. Note that the fruit cannot be taken away from the Black Iron Castle. Twelve hours after picking, the energy and vitality in the fruit will gradually be lost.
-This fruit can increase the recovery rate of the Lord's physical injuries by 3%.
More than twenty silver coins! 3% body recovery ability! This result made Zhang Tie start to laugh after being in a trance for a moment. At this moment, Zhang Tie understood that money is very important, but it is not the measure of all value. If it weren't for those earthworms, it would have been impossible for my body to recover no matter how much money I spent.
Perhaps, people in this era, like humans before the cataclysm, have become accustomed to using money to measure the value of everything. The earthworms I released today should be at least 70,000 to 80,000. Those 70,000 to 80,000 lives will be saved somewhere. In the eyes of some people, it is the price of a few silver coins. But all life is the manifestation of creation, and everything that creation shows cannot be measured by money. In the eyes of creation, a living grass or an inconspicuous earthworm may be more magnificent than a magnificent building. The palace is more valuable.
Should a person's so-called wealth be measured from the perspective of human beings or from the perspective of nature? Or, a truly rich person should be the kind of person who should be rich both from a human perspective and from a creation perspective. Only that kind of wealth can be truly rich!
A flash of this realization flashed in Zhang Tie's mind.
The heart-shaped fruit of salvation has a strange smell that makes the pores of the whole body open with excitement. After picking the fruit and eating it in the stomach, the whole fruit turns into a smell like The warm current that squirmed like earthworms spread all over Zhang Tie's body. Zhang Tie clearly felt something wrong with his body and became comfortable after the warm current squirmed through him.
The feeling of eating this fruit is really so comfortable. The whole process is like countless little hands massaging Zhang Tie from the inside to the outside. The effect of the fruit has long passed, and Zhang Tie is still sitting on the ground savoring it. It took a long time before he stood up.
Zhang Tie stood up and made a few movements to feel his body carefully at this moment. Although his body at this moment has only recovered 3%, Zhang Tie still feels that his body is better than before. Because his current body is very poor, the recovery rate of 3% of his original physical fitness makes Zhang Tie feel very obvious. .
As long as he persists here for a few months, sooner or later he will return to normal. Zhang Tie breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart...
At this rate, Zhang Tie knew that he would miraculously recover within three or four months. Perhaps by the time he recovered, the rest of the Iron-Blooded Battalion of the Thirty-ninth Division had not yet been completed. After all, this time was really tough for the Iron-Blooded Battalion.
If I fully recover, should I return to the Iron-Blooded Camp? This question made Zhang Tie hesitate for a moment. Zhang Tie knew that if he experienced such a terrifying experience this time and was judged by a bunch of people to be a disabled person and recovered from his injuries as if nothing had happened, then he would be truly "famous" in the entire Iron Horn Legion. ", I am afraid that many people will start to doubt the lie about lightning strikes that they made up by then. No matter how awesome the acquired lightning strike syndrome is, it can't be like this.
The Iron Horn Legion is not the Black Flame City. If he attracts the attention of some people, Zhang Tie is not sure whether he can really keep the secret of the Black Iron Castle under any circumstances.
This question made Zhang Tie get entangled, but after struggling for just a few seconds, Zhang Tie threw it behind him. Who cares, anyway, whether it is the recovery of his own injury or the completion of the rest and reorganization of the Iron Blood Battalion, at least It will take another three or four months, let’s talk about it then.
Thinking this, Zhang Tie relaxed.
Since there was plenty of time tonight, Zhang Tie practiced for a while in the Black Iron Castle, continuing to use his mental power to "process" two chains of restraints, and then practiced the "Abacus Arithmetic" with two abacus, allowing himself to His mental strength has recovered somewhat. Finally, I fell asleep with great satisfaction and peace of mind.
In the following period, Zhang Tie became the most popular person in the entire Chevri Village...
