On an empty land outside the Chevli village were stacks of dried wheat straw. Many households’ wheat straw stacks were piled here in bundles. They were like rolling mountains. Additionally, the sparse wheat straws covering the land looked like a thick carpet. Even if people jumped off from the top of the stacks, they would not get hurt. Therefore, this place also became the most natural and enjoyable children’s playground in the Chevli village as a whole.
In order to hide themselves well when they played the hide and seek game, the kids had emptied the bottoms of many tall wheat straw stacks. After blocking the entrances of the caves in them, one could sleep inside overnight.
The insides of the wheat straw stacks were ventilated, warm, and very soft.
The place where the wheat straws were piled was really a mini-maze in Chevli village.
Certainly, not only kids liked it there, even Zhang Tie liked it too.
