Chapter 1214 The drought demon is about to appear
After settling Dior and Mai Yuqiang, Liu Xing was about to leave the farm and go to Zetian Building, but he was stopped by Mr. Guchuan before he could go out.
"Mr. Liu Xing, we haven't seen you for a long time."
Mr. Kokawa took out a key from his pocket and said seriously: "We have always remembered the life-saving grace of you and Mr. Yin En, but we have not found a suitable opportunity to repay you during this period, so
Now please accept this key, it can open a house in Tokyo, and there are other things inside."
Liu Xing nodded, took the key and said: "Then I will be disrespectful, but having said that, how are you doing over there? Do you need me to do anything for you?"
Originally Liu Xing just wanted to say a polite word, but he didn't expect that Mr. Guchuan's eyes lit up when he heard what Liu Xing said, and he immediately pulled Liu Xing towards the site where he worshiped the Yellow Clothes Sect, "We met some people over there.
It’s a small problem, if you can help us, Mr. Liu Xing, that would be great.”
At this point, Liu Xing could only change his plan and follow Mr. Guchuan first.
"The thing is like this, we had prepared enough building materials to ensure that the people behind could move into the farm, but we found a problem, that is, the soil on the farm was a bit loose, so we prepared movable panels
The house could not be arranged as smoothly as we had expected, because if we had to follow the previous plan, some of the prefab houses would become basements."
Hearing Mr. Guchuan say this, Liu Xing couldn't help but frown, 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. Whether it grew well or not all depended on fate, because
This land is more than ten kilometers away from Grandpa Liu Xing’s residence, so I only take a car there once a week to fertilize and eliminate insects, and water it again in the summer.
So Liu Xing would sometimes go back with his grandparents. Although he couldn't help much, it could be... well, Liu Xing had to admit that at that time he was just going on an outing to work with his grandparents.
When I was there, I ran to the side to catch crickets.
However, Liu Xing still knows something about soil quality, because Liu Xing's grandfather likes to teach Liu Xing some knowledge that is not in books, so Liu Xing still knows very well that the soil quality on a farm cannot be too loose, unless the farm was originally a plantation plant.
Of watermelon.
But when Liu Xing arrived at the farm yesterday, he also saw a poster from a year ago posted at the door of the farm. It said in black and white that this farm was originally used to grow various fruits and vegetables, and it had long been a farmer in Nagoya City.
Supermarkets or restaurants provide fresh supplies... most importantly, this farm also claims to use black soil shipped from China!
So it stands to reason that the soil quality on this farm should not be so bad.
Thinking of this, Liu Xing squatted down and dug some soil, and found that the soil under his feet seemed to be of good quality.
"Mr. Liu Xing, you have to dig a little deeper."
As Mr. Onikawa spoke, he took out a spring knife from his pocket, and then dug downwards along the hole dug by Liu Xing. Then, about twenty centimeters from the surface, the soil was really loose.
stand up.
And what makes Liu Xing most strange is that the recent weather is not dry, but the soil in the ground has dried up into lumps and turned into powder with just a pinch. It seems that there is no moisture at all.
"What's going on? Did this farm burn their own land when they were idle and then put a new layer of soil on top?"
Liu Xing looked at Mr. Guchuan and asked, "Xiaofu, can you determine how large an area this situation occurs?"
"all!"
Kogawa Kofu answered very seriously: "When we were installing the mobile toilet, we found that there was something wrong with the soil there. At the beginning, we didn't think too much about it, but as we went on, we found that the situation seemed a bit strange.
Something is wrong, that’s why I’m coming to find you now.”
Liu Xing nodded and analyzed seriously: "Is this farm selling dog meat under the guise of sheep? Using other people's fruits and vegetables as their own fresh products to make a profit? But there is no need, right? Such a big area
The farm requires a lot of expenses, so it is better to just become a second-rate dealer; it seems that it is necessary to investigate the original background of this farm."
As Liu Xing spoke, he sent a text message to Alice about the current situation.
Soon, Liu Xing came to the territory allocated to the Huangyi Sect, which was the original field of the farm.
As the previous poster said, the surface of this field is indeed pure black soil, because Liu Xing had seen real black soil when he was in high school. The reason was that his head teacher, a geography teacher, collected famous black soil from all over the country.
Various soils.
However, just like the situation outside, this layer of black soil is only more than ten centimeters thick. If you go further down, it will be dry loess, without any life.
"It doesn't make sense. If you only have a layer of black soil of more than ten centimeters, you can only plant some vegetables with underdeveloped root systems and no requirements for the thickness of the soil to fill the facade. Then it is better to add an extra layer of ordinary loess underneath. This will
You can grow more things, and you can actually produce products, not to mention there is a small pasture outside where you can consume the vegetables... It seems that there is something wrong with the origin of this farm."
Liu Xing touched his chin and began to think about a question, that is, could this farm be a trap set by the public faction.
The reason is very simple. Although there are a lot of vacant lands near Nagoya City, those lands are pure wastelands. Not only are there no buildings on them, but there are also no supporting facilities nearby. Therefore, this farm can be regarded as a foreign samurai faction.
The best place the power can find.
Therefore, as long as nothing unexpected happens, this farm will definitely be captured by a certain Wu family faction, so the public faction forces who have foreseen this can make some arrangements in advance.
Of course, when Liu Xing and others arrived at the farm yesterday, they did not forget to check various suspicious areas when cleaning up the farm to ensure that there were no institutions left by public factions in the farm.
"I just sent someone to investigate. The original owner of the farm is an ordinary businessman. He owns several restaurants, so he opened such a farm to provide raw materials for his restaurants. This way, he can
Reduce costs, and secondly, you can add a gimmick to raise prices; but as a result, the flowers planted intentionally did not bloom, but the willows planted unintentionally made shade. This businessman's restaurant almost closed down due to various reasons, but the farm became more and more prosperous and gained
Many customers’ affirmation.”
"So the original owner of the farm ran the farm with peace of mind. 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 a lot of black soil was transported from China, and it was used as a selling point to increase its reputation and price. As a result, in the first three years, the reputation of this farm was very good, and its annual income was directly
The farm circle that tops the entire island country.”
"But three years later, that is, two years ago, the quality of fruits, vegetables, milk, eggs and other products sold by this farm became increasingly poor, so the farm's reputation was seriously affected. As a result, at this time
Some so-called inside information was revealed. For example, a certain employee claimed that the farm used a large amount of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and squeezed some substandard products, such as tomatoes, into juice and sold them at high prices. In short, after the reputation of the farm collapsed, the farm
It will inevitably go downhill.”
"It is worth mentioning that this farm has refuted the so-called inside information many times and produced a lot of favorable evidence. But during the avalanche, every snowflake is rushing to the end of the world. Who cares?
Are your evidences true? So after the farm collapsed, some people thought it deserved death, or that the farm was deliberately smeared by competitors, and the original owner of the farm also
This land was handed over to his son to take care of, and then he went away to live in his old age."
"Of course, this is called management, but it actually means leaving the farm vacant and then listing the land for sale. But what's interesting is that the listing price of this land is nearly three-thirds cheaper than similar land.
First, this discount can be said to be quite good, but what is interesting is that before your Sawada family bought this land, there were two buyers who came to inspect the land, and then there was no news;
At the beginning, I thought that the two buyers discovered the same problem with the soil quality of the farm as we did, so it was not suitable to rebuild a new farm or build a house, so the buyers chose
Give up and make the condition of this land public."
"Wait a minute, if this is really the case, our Sawada family should have heard some rumors when we purchased this land."
Liu Xing shook his head and said seriously: "Judging from the experience of the original owner of this farm, he probably wanted to make this farm his last business, so he was very concerned about it, otherwise this farm would not be able to survive.
It took three years for the problem to occur, and at the time of the accident, the farm's products only experienced a decline in quality, and no quality problems occurred. Therefore, we should be able to rule out that the current soil quality problems were deliberately caused by the original owner of the farm.
Of."
"Yes, actually I think so too, and I think the original owner of the farm must have struggled with this for a while, because when digging the sewage tank needed for the toilet, I found that the dried loess also had obvious differences.
It looks like someone is constantly putting new soil on top."
As Mr. Guchuan spoke, he took Liu Xing to the sewage tank he mentioned.
Just as Kogawa Xiaofu said, Liu Xing could see at a glance that there were five obvious dividing lines in the five-meter-deep sewage tank, and there were also some leaves and the like in these layers of soil.
Impurities, looks like soil with added biofertilizer.
"It seems that the original owner of this farm was not willing to give in, but he could not find a better way to deal with it, so he could only keep adding new soil to maintain the quality of fruits and vegetables. As a result, he fell into an unsolvable problem.
The vicious cycle led to the collapse of the entire farm; but who did it? In my impression, there is really no one who can do this..."
An idea flashed in Liu Xing's mind, and he suddenly thought of a mythical creature - the Drought Demon!
As soon as the drought demon comes out, the red land will be thousands of miles away!
The Drought Demon is one of the most powerful zombies in the legend, and when it reappears in the world, it will make the surrounding land extremely dry, just like what Liu Xing sees now. Therefore, in ancient times, as long as a large area appeared
And if there is a prolonged drought, the local people will think that drought monsters have appeared on their land.
However, in many cases, Drought Demon does not exist, because Liu Xing has asked Zhang Jingxu related questions before, wanting to see if there is an old ruler called Drought Demon in this world based on the Cthulhu mythology.
Or, after all, Drought Demon can travel thousands of miles across the earth, and he has already been called the Lord of the Old Ones.
As a result, Zhang Jingxu told Liu Xing that the Huaxia Taoist Sect had indeed discovered and captured, or killed several drought demons, but these drought demons had not yet reached the level of the old rulers, because they were still humans in essence, so their MP
The value is enough for them to release a certain amount of high temperature in a short period of time, which can evaporate all the water in the land within a radius of a hundred meters at most... If it is aimed at a pond, the drought demon can at most evaporate a pond the size of an ordinary classroom.
Evaporate cleanly.
Therefore, in fact, it is not that "when the drought demon appears, the red land will be thousands of miles away", but "the red land will be thousands of miles away, and the drought demon will appear". To put it bluntly, ordinary people have mistaken the relationship between chickens and eggs.
Of course, this is actually normal. After all, ordinary people don't know that the birth of Hanba requires a severe drought for many years, so that some mages who are originally resentful and have a certain strength base can be resurrected in the form of Hanba.
...However, if you enter the coffin with something cursed, the possibility of you turning into a drought demon will be higher.
So, is there a drought demon resurrecting under this farm?
After three years of severe drought, drought demons will appear.
Although this sentence is not accurate, it also shows that it will take close to three years for Drought Demon to be truly resurrected, and about two years have passed since problems began to appear on this farm.
This means that if there really is a drought demon underground on this farm, it will be born soon!
