The fifth section travels to the Great Song Dynasty to renovate the thatched house

The biggest problem after we came to the Great Song Dynasty, and the most unsuitable place is that this ancient thatched house is simply unsatisfactory. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 As soon as I stepped in, I immediately felt a stinking smell. Even after leaving, it makes you feel angry, and the aftermath lingers for three days. The taste is even better than stinky salted fish and Hong Kong foot. You have to take a deep breath, pinch your nose, don't let the slightest bit of air inside, and finish it as soon as possible, and strive to get out of this hell on earth in the shortest possible time. But you are not a fish after all, you are free to breathe without your nose as you like. So if you're not careful, some of the smell will come in and go your own way in your respiratory system with great fanfare. Therefore, we generally seek the near and far, run out of the mountains and wilderness at a fast speed, absorb the essence of heaven and earth, the aura of the sun and the moon, cultivate self-cultivation, and stay away from the smell, which is the perfect strategy. But there are also moments of urgency, in which case you have no choice but to break into the door with a sad face.

Most of these ancient thatched huts were built open, in order to be more breathable, otherwise it is possible to smoke a few horses to death. Therefore, as soon as there were only people entering, the overwhelming number of flies would come to the wind, and the big-headed flies of all colors, red, green, and black, began to dance wildly, and at the same time played the drums of war -- the roar of the buzzing motors, and swarmed from all directions, launching round after round of fierce attacks on all kinds of people inside, bombarding indiscriminately, until they reached their final destination.

Although I stayed in this Great Song Dynasty for a long time, my martial arts were refined at this time, but I met the enemy with one hand, and the number of enemies was still so huge, and I was still in the open, they were hiding in the shadows, and I was still a little powerless. Even if one or two unfortunate flies were killed, and the rest of the diehards in the hands of the black sand, the invincible peerless martial arts of my own gang, turned a blind eye to them, they still continued to exert their fearless revolutionary spirit, went to the soup and fire, and did not give up, making me miserable, sighing again and again, when will I be able to enjoy the conditions of the bathroom in modern society again, and I can't go back, I really sigh with hope.

And often at this critical time, those cunning black mosquitoes lurking in the army of flies with teeth and claws, call me too busy to take care of myself, waving my hands. He took advantage of the weakness to enter, took advantage of my unpreparedness, drew their shining swords, and descended from the sky, launching one dive after another and attacking me. The smooth skin that I had been exposed to the air was suddenly pitted and uneven. My skin, which was as open as a plain, suddenly rose up with small red hills, one after another, endlessly. It hurt me so badly that the black sand palm that people were afraid of was useless, so I had to flee in the wilderness, and hurriedly went to the house to smear some good medicines such as wind oil essence brought by modern society, so as to completely cure the mosquito poison.

However, other ancient people seem to have long been accustomed to it, and have developed antibodies, and do not care. Only Xiaofei and I, who come from modern society, felt that it was unbearable pain and confided in each other. Now, with this gurgling water, with this natural bamboo pipe, the key problem of water has been solved, and other things are easy to do, and we can completely modernize the ancient thatched house, so that it is suddenly new and the image has changed greatly.

I raised my arms and exhaled, it was really a response, and Xiao Fei immediately nodded in agreement. Because he has recently learned a lot of carpentry work, he is in charge of it. This Xiaofei is still very dedicated, and immediately knocked and beat. In this countryside, the most convenient thing is wood, the primeval forests that cover the sky and the sun are everywhere, Xiaofei naturally prefers wood as a raw material, and the troublesome ones are cutting, and they are splicing, and they forget to sleep and eat all day long, and they are busy.

Finally, a few days later, he told me with great interest that it was done, and I saw that the workmanship was vivid, it was really exactly the same thing as modern society, and it also had a lid, and the shape was similar, and it looked very good.

Xiao Fei said happily: "It's finally done, but I'm tired, the linkage setting of the water tank and the flush valve inside is really difficult, I thought about it for three days and three nights to come up with this vortex siphon." ”

I smiled and said: "It's really hard for you, now there is this toilet to completely solve our old problem of difficulty in entering the thatched house in ancient times, and it is difficult to get out of the thatched house, you are really indispensable." ”

Xiao Fei sighed and said: "I'm really miserable, oops, this broken ancient times, nothing, under the indiscriminate bombardment of a large number of flies and the general attack of mosquitoes, I still can't be satisfied, I get my wish, even if I catch up, it won't help, there are thousands of candidates." So for those of us who are modern, it's really like coming to a primitive society, and there is not even a decent thatched house, nor a toilet. ”

I smiled and said: "In fact, the toilet is not a foreign product, but a special use for the nobility, the history of the toilet can be traced back to the Han Dynasty, the toilet at that time was called Huzi, it was dedicated to the emperor, it is said to be made of jade, held by the eunuch who specializes in serving the emperor, in case the emperor is convenient for use at any time, but it has its shape, and has no function, and later came to the Tang Dynasty, because there is a person named Li Hu in the emperor's family, in order to avoid it, the tiger was renamed as a beast or a horse. After that, in the circulation, it evolved into the name of the toilet. So it was the patent of the royal family and nobles, and the average person could not afford to use it, until the English aristocrat John invented the first practical toilet - a wooden seat with a cistern and flush valve. It's good now. ”

The most important thing is to have a toilet, and then we put incense, the environment is much better, the renovated thatched house is full of fragrance, a group of children happily ran over, they have already heard the news, want to have a sneak peek, they are dumbfounded, shocked, there is such a magical thing in the world? just a light touch, the water will be like a spring water pouring out, the little insect happily whimsically said, " This horse is so good, I don't want to come out of it for seven or eight hours now, it's no longer a suffering, it's a pleasure. ”

This ancient thatched hut was open-air, especially at night. The breeze is blowing, and looking at the vast inky night sky dotted with stars on the thatched hut, it gives people a feeling of pleasing to the eye and relaxing. Looking at those starlight, which can be lofty and vast, it was the reflection of the starry sky hundreds of millions of years ago, a little still there lonely distant view, some have disappeared, no longer exist, only the bright and still smiling face before parting, the big blinking eyes, still looming in the vast blue sky, indicating its former glory and splendor, indicating that it once also lived, existed, and laughed in this vibrant planet, this vast time and space.

In fact, the light of the celestial body we see is not the light that it is engraved at the same time as us, how many light years away from us is, and the light we receive from it is how many light years ago. In fact, most celestial bodies are extremely far away from us, and most of the stars we see in the night sky were emitted tens or even millions of years ago, and some of them have long since ceased to exist. Because when an object is moving at the speed of light, both space and time are distorted. If the star we see is hundreds of millions of light-years away, then the light we see actually came from that star hundreds of millions of years ago and doesn't reach the Earth until today.

Looking up at the starry sky, I meditated a lot, we are not like the stars, far away from modern society, unable to control our own destiny, can only resign ourselves to fate, when will we be able to go back? Won't we just leave a distant smile in the memory of our relatives?

After the renovation of this thatched house, the nearby residents have heard the wind and flocked to it, waiting in a long line, waiting to enter this high-end thatched house, waiting to see the toilet that can only be used by the royal family and nobles, and the toilet with automatic flushing function, it is really incredible, unheard of, so that we can't monopolize the thatched house as we like. So in response to everyone's infinite yearning for a high-quality life and the unremitting pursuit of a better life, Xiaofei tirelessly shuttled between the thatched houses of various families non-stop, and the hard work was a little hard, but I heard that the remuneration was expensive, and the strange goods were liveable, everyone came here, and some of them also rushed for three days and three nights, so they naturally didn't care about how much money. Because there's no such thing as a free lunch. According to him, the money he borrowed from me will be returned to me in two days, and who calls him the inventor of this patent?
