Stars and Stripes is not called the 'Kingdom of God' for no reason. There are thousands of different sects here. Including the Demonic Sect, they were protected here. It was called the 'New Faction'.

The Amish weren't evil, of course, but they were a strange bunch.

They are a religious sect known for its dogma. It is one of the early immigrants who believed in rebaptism. Rebaptism taught him to view himself as a stream in a murky world, without strife. The believer should sincerely convert with a mature mind. Therefore, when they reached adulthood, the believers who were willing to join the sect would need to undergo another baptism, and the Baptist Church would thus be named.

They were the most strict group of Puritans, the Amish who had lived there all their lives in search of peace of mind. They held on to their religious beliefs, did not use electricity, did not use cars, did not perform military service, and because they believed that only God had the right to judge the sins of men, they did not serve as jurors in the courts. They did not work as citizens of the Stars, did farming for their entire lives, and now lived the lives of nearly 300,000 Amish in the Stars.

"Why are there Amish here?" Amelia asked, puzzled. Seeing that Xiao Peng didn't understand, she explained, "The Amish usually don't travel far. They only use carriages and refuse cars. In the west, the Amish live in Oregon, and in the east, the Amish live in Pennsylvania. How did they get here? "

"Driving a carriage all the way here?" Xiao Peng exclaimed. It was not easy to travel from Oregon to this place, which was at least a thousand kilometers.

Xiao Peng parked the car beside him, "Hello, have you gotten into trouble? Is there anything I can help you with? "

"Hello, sir." The man took off his hat and saluted Xiao Peng. His beard made Xiao Peng think of Second Master Guan — he had also been suntanned to the point of blushing. Furthermore, his act of taking off his hat caused Xiao Peng to be extremely embarrassed, as he didn't know how to reply. Let me 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 said with a smile, "My name is Xiao Peng, and these are Amelia and Aricia. Is there anything I can help with?"

Neel said, "Sir, as you can see, the wheels of our carriage are 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's wrong? Do you want a lift? "No problem."

Neil's face froze, and then he smiled. "Mr. Xiao, I'm afraid you don't understand us Amish people. We don't ride cars."

Xiao Peng felt a little embarrassed when he heard this. "About that, tell me what I can do."

Neal said, "There's an Amish community near Winslow. Can you help us notify our comrades and have them pick us up? "Actually, I can also ride my horse and go back to find someone to help me, but after all, my wife and children are here, so I can't be at ease."

No wonder we can see the Amish here. There's an Amish neighborhood nearby.

Amelia quietly explained, "The Amish are at peace with the world, but that doesn't mean they aren't hurt. At a school in Lancaster, a truck driver broke into a teacher, kidnapped ten girls, and shot them in the head. The gunman then shot himself, and the man was not a Amish. Just because they were angry with God, they vented their anger on the Amish. The Amish, on the other hand, tolerated the gunman, and at the gunman's funeral, with the exception of the family, most of the people attending the funeral were Amish who went to comfort the gunman's family. However, because of their kindness, there would often be outlaws eyeing them. Now there are those who hate the Amish who throw stones at them from the side of the road at night when they pass by in their carriage. "

Xiao Peng looked up at the sky. "Neil, I'm afraid that it will be midnight by the time we reach the Amish community and wait for your companions to come pick you up, right?"

They were at least fifty kilometers away from Winslow. By the time the carriage arrived, the yellow flowers had already turned cold.

Neil sighed. "Xiao, I know what you're talking about, but we have no other way. You saw it yourself. The two wheels on the right side of the carriage are broken."

Xiao Peng looked down and saw that the wheels on the right side of the carriage had been broken for some reason and was unable to move forward. Xiao Peng held his cheeks and pondered for a long time before patting Neil's carriage again. He asked Neil: "Neil, if I can take care of your wheels, but I want to take down some planks from your carriage, do you think that will work?"

Neil was stunned. "Xiao, we don't have any tools here, not even a nail. How can we repair this wheel?"

Xiao Peng laughed, "Neil, this matter will not trouble you. If you agree, I can help you fix it in an hour. However, you don't have to expect the temporary ones to be solid and durable, but you can still persevere on the way home for tens of kilometers. "

Neil looked at Xiao Peng's confident expression and said happily, "If I can really do it, then I'll be extremely grateful to you." When we get back to our Amish community, I'll treat you to dinner. "

Xiao Peng gave Neil a thumbs up, "Trust me."

Wasn't it just that there were no nails? You guys underestimate China's carpenters, Xiao Peng doesn't even use a nail for all the furniture in his house! It's all traditional tenon and tenon structures. With so many pieces of furniture, how could Xiao Peng handle such a small wheel?

Xiao Peng returned to the carriage and took out a flat box from his bag. He then took out a small black axe. It was as long as Xiao Peng's forearm, and the axe was formed as one. Opposite the axe was a sharp knife, and it was obvious that it was a dangerous little fellow.

"This is?" Neil asked.

Xiao Peng said, "This is the RMJ's Shrike Tactical Axe, a brand known for the Migs dismantled by soldiers from the Stars and Stripes in Afghanistan. The axe is made of 4140 high chromium molybdenum special steel, which is usually used to make track of aircraft transmission shaft, tank and bulldozer. Its hardness and toughness are first-class. It's easy to use an axe like that when you go outdoors. There are many things you can do. "

"And this." Xiao Peng took out a small, folded dagger that was as thick as his middle finger. "A penknife for outdoor survival in OPINEL, France." It may look small, but it's really a good thing. It's known as the French National Sabre. " After saying that, he handed the dagger to Neil. "Help me hold it first."

Neel opens the knife. "Oh, God, this little guy is really sharp."

Xiao Peng explained, "This OPINLL 8 outdoor folding knife is made of SANDVIK12C27 steel, which is exceptionally sharp. It is very useful for cutting things outdoors, and this handle has other uses. It is an emergency outpost of 110 decibels and can be used to communicate or survive. "

Neil was full of praises. "This is really a good thing."

Xiao Peng said with a smile, "If you like it, then take it. I'll give it to you as a gift. "

However, Neil shook his head and said with a troubled expression, "I am an Amish from the Old Church, I only accept equal exchange."

Xiao Peng looked at Amelia in puzzlement, and Amelia explained, "The old dogmatic Amish do not use coins. They only accept equal exchange. Advanced technologies are also not used. There was a misunderstanding, however, that the Amish did not regard technology as evil. Some Amish communities could meet at any time and ask the community to accept new technologies. Unlike other churches, the Amish are managed from top to bottom, so each community has a different perspective on which technologies can be accommodated. "

Xiao Peng suddenly understood. No wonder when Neil saw that Xiao Peng wanted to fix their wheels, he directly asked Xiao Peng to treat them to a meal. Wasn't this the same as their principle of equal exchange?

Neele smiled at Amelia's words. "Miss Amelia, do you know a lot about the Amish?"

Amelia smiled. "Because I like the vegetables the Amish grow, I've been friends with the Amish, so I know a lot about them." Then he explained to Xiao Peng, "The Amish are the best farmers, and their land, under the condition of not applying chemical fertilizer, is only newly crafted, and often becomes the crown of the production per mu of similar products in the Stars and Stripes! And the taste was extremely delicious! It's all organic food. "

Xiao Peng looked at Amelia, speechless. "You really are a little glutton." You're interested in the idea of eating. "

Neil smiled and said, "Actually, our community also has electricity. However, we only use it for special occasions. For example, we need electricity for the welding of metals in our community. The reason we don't use electricity is that it uses all kinds of household appliances, complicates our simple life, and then, like everyone else, triggers a personal competition for material life that destroys the entire community. Just like in our community, we have a gas-powered lawnmower to mow the lawn in our entire community, but in the process of building the lawn, you have to work with a horse. "

Xiao Peng was speechless. "What's the point in doing this?"

"We insist on manual farming, so we are not tempted to buy more land and become more powerful than the rest of the community. What we are trying to avoid is not technology, but its negative impact on the community."

Xiao Peng wanted to express his opinion, but thought better of it. He lowered his head and began to repair the wheels!

No one had the right to criticize the lives of others. Everyone's values were different!

Unfortunately, we have too many people around us who like to point fingers at other people's lives

"You should."

"You should do that."

"Listen to me."

"That's not right."

"I'm doing this for your own good."
