Chapter 83: The Miracle of Westwind Town
Chapter 83: The Miracle of Westwind Town
Reinforcements will certainly come!
This sentence is the hope and dream of everyone in this isolated town. In times of war, people in cities and towns surrounded by enemy troops need these words to survive. Without such expectations, the defenders will collapse in an instant.
Not to mention the two mayors and Little Yi, even Robb expected reinforcements to come early because although he had the ability to defend the town, it was troublesome to support so many refugees. There was no way he could be lazy.
Can I stop being a priest now?
He could've done so if he hadn't heard the little loli cry. He couldve had time to throw in the pot, but he cant even do that now.
"I wish reinforcements would come to liberate me sooner!" Robb sighed from the bottom of his heart, "forget it, no more nonsense. I have to plant the potatoes first. If I plant them a minute earlier, I can harvest them a minute earlier. Lillian, go and get the potatoes I told you to leave behind."
Lillian returned to the warehouse and took out a basketful of potatoes.
The potato itself is the seed, which can be planted only by cutting it into pieces. Robb asked Lillian to cut the potatoes into small pieces, then took them and walked to the side of the field.
At this time, many refugees from White Birch were sitting next to the fields, and there was a bewildered look in the eyes of the many refugees when they saw Robb holding a basket of potatoes to plant in the field.
Little Yi didn't know that Robb could farm fast, so she couldn't help coming out and asking, "Father, you suddenly want to grow potatoes at such a time? Why?
For a harvest! Robb said, How can you harvest anything if you dont plant?
"Distant water cannot put out an ongoing fire, so if you plant potatoes now, you might as well keep them as food reserves." Little Yi said, "now that Westwind Town has become isolated, every grain is extremely precious."
"It is because I know that food is precious that I need to grow it." Robb smiled and said, "Is this my chapel or yours? You, a little nun who has been demoted from a big city to a small town, is not allowed to have any objection to a priest's operations, just follow me, or next time you won't even be allowed to stay in this town. Well transfer you to a small village.
"I didn't get demoted!" Little Yi protested.
After her protest, she didnt object to Robbs actions anymore. Robb, a super lazy man, did not instruct Lillian to work anymore and even refused the refugees' assistance and did it himself. He dug a small hole in the field, buried a potato, and then repeated that process.
He repeated it dozens of times until the whole field was full. He patted the dust on his hands and said, "Lillian, kettle!"
Lillian answered obediently, handing over the little kettle that had already been prepared.
Little Yi smiled bitterly and said, "Lillian, you are also playing around with your master."
Lillian winked, Master is not fooling around. The miracle of the God of Light is on him. As long as he grows the crops himself, it only takes one day to harvest."
Little Yi didnt believe a word, Bullshit.
But the mayor of Westwind next to her also said, "the priest really carries the miracle of the god of light. You will understand when you get up tomorrow morning."
Even the mayor said such strange things? Little Yi was a little surprised, but this made her believe it a little.
After watering the field, Robb turned to look at the refugees sitting on the ground in the courtyard. Three hundred refugees here have to open their mouths to eat every day. If the state of war continues, the original thousand residents of Westwind Town may have a food crisis, plus nearby villages may also have refugees coming one after another.
I'm afraid this small piece of land in the chapel is insufficient.
He exclaimed, "I need a batch of people to help me clear uncultivated land for cultivation. Well, just the hillside next to the cemetery. After clearing up the land, we will extend the yard's fence and wrap the newly claimed fields into the chapel yard. Is there anyone who wants to volunteer? "
He had just given food to the refugees, and the refugees were grateful. Immediately a large group of men, sixty to seventy in number, sprang out. A few of them received simple farm tools from Lillian, but many more could not even get them, so the mayor of Westwind Town hurriedly went back to the town to borrow a lot of farm tools so that all the sixty and seventy people were equipped.
With so many people working together, the speed of clearing uncultivated land for cultivation is, of course, extremely fast, and within a few hours, a large area of land has been made ready for planting on the hillside.
The carpenters from White Birch also built fences for the field.
Because White Birch Town is a small forest town, logging is its most important industry, and almost every one of the townspeople is good at carpentry. They quickly cut down a pile of wood, built a wooden fence, and surrounded all the fields that had just been cultivated. In this way, the land became a part of the chapel.
After the men had finished the task given by Robb, they ran from the hillside, and before they could claim their credits to Robb, they heard the exclamations of women and children in the yard.
They looked down curiously and saw more than a hundred old and weak women from White Birch town encircling the small reserved area of the chapel, all looking inside.
The curious men squeezed in to join the party!
They were surprised to find that the potatoes Robb had planted in the field a few hours ago had sprouted, and the plants on the ground had grown so sturdily that they looked as if they had been growing for months.
"What's going on?"
"Oh, my God! How did these potatoes grow so fast? "
"It's only been a few hours. Why does it look like it's been growing for months?"
"If it keeps growing at this pace, itll be ready for harvest in a day."
"In what strange way did you plant it?"
Seeing the inexplicable surprise of this group of country bumpkins from White Birch Town, the mayor of Westwind Town felt pride. While laughing, he walked over arrogantly and shouted, "see? Hahaha! This is the great miracle of Westwind Town. Father carries the grace of the God of Light. As long as the crops are planted by him, they can be harvested in one day. Why don't you quickly thank God and Father? "
The townspeople of White Birch Town were stunned and hastened to worship together, praising the God of Light and Father.
Of course, this is the right action. But Little Yi was one that was truly surprised!
The "miracle" shown by Robb is amazing. How much favor does it take from the God of Light to do this? She had never seen a priest so blessed by the God of Light in the Church of Light.
