It is not unreasonable that the Star-Spangled Kingdom is called the ‘God’s Kingdom’. There are thousands of sects here, large and small. Including cults are protected here, which are called ‘emerging sects’.
The Amish are certainly not a cult, but they are also a strange group of people.
They are a religious sect known for abide by the doctrine. It is one of the early immigrants and believes in Anabaptism. The Anabaptism sees itself as a clear stream in the muddy world, without contending with the world. Believers should sincerely convert with a mature mind. Therefore, when they are adults, believers who are willing to enter the religion need to receive another baptism, and the rebaptism is therefore named.
They are equivalent to ascetic monks in Buddhism. They are the strictest group of Puritans. They pursue peace of mind throughout their lives. The Amish who live here adhere to their religious beliefs, do not use electricity, cars, and do not perform military service, and because they think Only God has the right to judge the sins of people. Therefore, the citizens of Star-Tangled Nation who do not serve as jurors of the court are obliged to work on farming throughout their lives. In Star-Tangled Nation, there are now close to 300,000 Amish people living in asceticism.
"How come there are Amish people here?" Emilia asked puzzledly. Xiao Peng didn't understand her explanation: "Amish people generally don't travel far. They only use carriages and refuse cars. . And the Amish in the west generally live in Oregon, while the Amish in the east live in Pennsylvania. How did they get here?"
"Running here in a horse-drawn carriage?" Xiao Peng exclaimed. It's not easy to get here from Oregon for at least a thousand kilometers.
Xiao Peng parked the car to his side: "Hello, are you in trouble? Can I help you?"
"Hello, sir." The Amixu man took off his hat and gave Xiao Peng a hat. His beard made Xiao Peng think of Guan Erye in an instant - he was also sun-dried. Red face. Xiao Peng was embarrassed by his hat-off ceremony, and he didn't know how to return the gift. "Introduce myself, my name is Neil Remington, this is my wife Anas and daughter Barbara. As you can see, I'm in big trouble here."
Xiao Peng smiled and said: "My name is Xiao Peng, this is Emilia and Alessi, is there anything I can help?"
Neil said, "Sir, it's like this. You can see that our wagon wheel is broken and we can no longer move forward. We can't go home now, so can you do us a favor?"
Xiao Peng asked: "What? Are you free-riding? No problem."
Neil's face became stiff, and then he smiled: "Mr. Xiao, I'm afraid you don't know us Amish, we don't take a car."
When Xiao Peng heard it, he was also a little embarrassed: "Well, you guys say there is something I can do."
Neil said, "There is an Amish community near Winslow. Can you help us inform our companions and let them pick us up? Actually, I can ride back and find someone to help, but After all, my wife and children are here, I don’t worry."
No wonder Amish people can be seen here, there is an Amish community nearby.
Emilia quietly explained: "The Amish people have nothing to do with the world, but it does not mean that others do not harm them. Once in an Amish school in Lancaster, a truck driver broke into a teacher and kidnapped ten. A girl shot their heads, and then the gunman shot and committed suicide. The murderer was not an Amish. Just because they were angry with God, they vented at the Amish. But the Amish was tolerant. Gunman, at the gunman funeral, except for his family, most of the people who attended the funeral were Amish people to comfort the gunman's family. However, because of their kindness, criminals often looked at them. Now there are some towards Ami. People with disgusting emotions will throw stones at them from the side of the road when the Amish carriage passes by at night."
Xiao Peng looked at the sky: "Neil, I'm afraid we have arrived in the Amish community. It will be midnight when your companions come to pick you up?"
It was at least fifty kilometers away from Winslow, and when the carriage came over, the day lilies were cold.
Neil sighed, "Xiao, I know what you said, but we have no other way. You have seen it. The two wheels on the right are broken."
Xiao Peng went down and took a look. Sure enough, the wagon wheel on the right was broken for some reason and could no longer move forward. Xiao Peng thought about it for a long time, then took a picture of Neil’s carriage and asked Neil: "Neil, if I can fix your wheels, but I have to remove some wooden boards from your carriage, you think it can Huh?"
Neil was taken aback: "Xiao, we don't have tools here, we don't even have nails, how can we fix this wheel?"
Xiao Peng smiled: "Neil, this thing still won't bother me. If you agree, I can fix it for you in one hour. However, you don't expect to be able to be durable, but you can go home. The kilometer can still hold on."
Neal looked at Xiao Peng’s confident expression and said happily,
If you can do it, thank you so much. When we return to our Amish community, I will invite you to dinner.
Xiao Peng held out his thumb at Neal: "Trust me."
Isn’t there no nails? You underestimate Huaxia Woodworking. There are so many furniture in Xiao Peng's house that he didn't use a nail! They all use the traditional mortise and tenon structure. So much furniture is not a problem, Xiao Peng can't handle this little wheel?
Xiao Peng returned to the carriage, took out a flat box from his backpack, and took out a small black axe from it. It can have Xiao Peng's forearm length and short, and the axe is integrally formed. The opposite of the axe blade is a sharp knife. At first glance, it looks like a dangerous little guy.
"This is?" Neil asked.
Xiao Peng said: "This is the'Shrike' tactical axe produced by RMJ. The axe of this brand is famous for dismantling MiGs by soldiers of the Stars and Stripes on the battlefield in Afghanistan. The axe is made of 4140 high chromium molybdenum special steel. This kind of steel is usually used to make aircraft drive shafts, tanks and tracks of bulldozers. It has first-class hardness and toughness. It is very useful to carry such an axe when you go outdoors. It can do many things."
"And this." Xiao Peng took out a small folding dagger with the thickness of the middle finger: "The outdoor survival folding knife of French OPINEL. Don't look at its small size, but this is really a good thing, known as the French national knife." Give the dagger to Neil: "You hold it for me first."
Neil opened the folding knife: "Oh, God, this little guy is really sharp."
Xiao Peng explained:
This OPINLL No. 8 outdoor folding knife is made of SANDVIK12C27 special steel, which is extremely sharp. It is very useful for cutting things outdoors. This knife handle has other functions. It is an emergency whistle that can reach 110 decibels. Used to contact or survive."
Neil was full of praise: "This is really a good thing."
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "If you like it, take it. I will give you a gift."
Neil shook his head and said with a look of embarrassment: "I am an Amish from the old dogma and only accept equivalent exchanges."
Xiao Peng looked at Emilia in confusion, Emilia explained: "The old dogmatic Amish people do not use coins, but only accept equivalent exchanges. They do not use advanced technology. However, there is a misunderstanding, Ah In fact, the Mixu do not regard technology as evil. In some Amish communities, the Amish can hold meetings at any time to request the community to accept new technologies. The Amish are not managed from the top down like other churches, so Each community has a different view on which technologies can be accepted."
Xiao Peng suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Neil saw that Xiao Peng was going to repair the wheels for them, and he directly said that he would invite himself to dinner. Isn't this just in line with their principle of equivalent exchange?
Neil listened to Emilia's words and laughed: "Miss Emilia, do you know the Amish people well?"
Emilia smiled and replied, "Because I like the vegetables grown by the Amish people, I have made friends with the Amish people, and naturally I have learned a lot." After speaking, he explained to Xiao Peng: "The Amish people But the best farming experts, their land is just intensively new crops without chemical fertilizers, and they often become the highest per mu yield of similar products in the Stars and Stripes! And the taste is extremely delicious! They are all organic food. "
Xiao Peng looked at Emilia speechlessly: "You are really a snack. You are interested when it comes to eating."
Neil smiled and said: "In fact, our community also has electricity, but it is only used in special occasions, such as metal welding in the community. The reason why we don’t use electricity is that if we use electricity, we will use all kinds of household appliances. Our original simple life is complicated, and then just like others, it triggers individual competition for material life, which destroys the entire community. Just like our community, there is a gasoline-powered lawnmower for our entire community to mow the lawn. But in this construction process, we must use a horse to work."
Xiao Peng was speechless: "Does this make any sense?"
Neal replied: "We insist on manual farming, so we won't be tempted to buy more land and make ourselves more than others in the same community. What we are trying to avoid is not technology, but the negative impact of technology on the community."
Xiao Peng wanted to express his opinion, but after thinking it over, he started to lower his head to repair the wheel!
No one is qualified to point fingers at others' lives, and everyone's values are different!
It’s a pity that there are too many people around us who like to point fingers at others’ lives.
"You should do this like this..."
"You should do that..."
"listen to me......"
"You are not doing this right..."
"I'm doing this for your own good..."
Xiao Peng didn't want to be such a person.
