Chapter 309: The Law of Thrift
Not long after leaving the Junzi Kingdom, he arrived at the Adult Kingdom, and Tang Ning originally wanted to get off the boat to go shopping, but Lin Zhiyang persuaded: "The wind has been just right in the past two days, let's take the opportunity to hurry, and this Adult Kingdom is not far from the Gentleman's Kingdom, so there is no business to do." ”
"I heard that people in this great kingdom will give birth to a cloud under their feet after they are born, and they usually don't need to walk by themselves, just float, and this cloud is still divided into colors, and the colorful ones indicate that they are open-minded, and the black ones show that they have done bad things, I don't know if that's the case?" Tang Ning asked curiously.
Duo Jiugong on the side nodded and replied: "That's right, so the folk customs of this great country are very simple, after all, it is good or evil, and it is clear at a glance, so when you encounter good things, you will rush to do them, and you will not be able to avoid bad things, so this is why you have the title of adult country." ”
"Hey, it's a pity why don't the people in our country have this cloud, so that we can also see and identify the loyal and traitorous?" Downing sighed.
"Although there are no black clouds on the soles of our feet, everyone who commits adultery has black gas on their heads, so it is also fair." More than nine public security soothing.
"But we can't see this black gas."
"We can't see it, but God can see it, that's why we say that good and evil will be rewarded in the end!"
Tang Ning was too lazy to debate this kind of theistic and atheistic issue with Duo Jiugong, so he diverted the topic and said: "By the way, Jiugong, according to what you just said, this great kingdom refers to tall conduct, which has nothing to do with physical figure?" ”
"Of course it doesn't matter, Brother Tang, the tall figure you said is the country of elders, and when you get to the place, I will take you to open your eyes." Duo Jiu Gong promised.
Another day, passing by Nie Erguo, although he still couldn't go ashore to play, Tang Ning didn't care, because he was not interested in this country, that is, he was more curious about whether the big ears were blessed.
But after listening to Tang Ning's question, Duo Jiugong smiled and waved his hand: "This is pure nonsense, I once went to a small country overseas many years ago, where people's ears are as big as mats, and when they sleep at night, one ear is used as a quilt and the other as a mattress." If it's raining halfway, pick yourself up with your ears, like putting on a raincoat made of meat. When they give birth to a child, they put the child on their ears and wrap it so that the child does not catch a cold. If they are blessed with big ears, they must be the most blessed people in the world. ”
Then Duo Jiugong continued: "Speaking of which, the people there are really interesting, because the ears are big and the earlobes are very elastic, so they often use their ears as slingshots, and put stones in the earlobes to shoot birds.
It is said that when they were fighting with their neighbors, they first ejected them with their ears and hit the people without intestines, and when the other party was in unbearable pain and did not pay attention for a while, they pounced on them and wrapped them in their ears.
And they don't need to carry a burden when they walk, they need to pack things with their ears and carry them on their backs. If you need to rest halfway when you go out, you can spread your ears on the ground and cover your body with the other, so you don't need to live in a store at all, and a few wooden sticks are propped up to make a portable tent.
For example, when they encounter a river on the way, they will directly tie their ears into a big balloon, blow full air in it, and lie on it to cross the river; If you can't go down a mountain cliff, you can use a stick to prop up your ears, like a detachable parachute to carry around.
In addition, during the famine season when the harvest is not good, they can also cut meat on the ears and eat them, at which time the ears will automatically become smaller and smaller, and they will no longer grow bigger, and when they have enough food, they will stop eating the ears, and the ears will grow again, as big as before.
The most common game played by their children is to "flick their ears", catch their ears in their hands and wheel a few times, and then throw them out in one direction, because of inertia, the ears will fly out with the person, and whoever flies the farthest will win. Those who lose will be punished by having their ears plucked.
By the way, these big ears can also be used for camouflage, if they encounter a fierce beast or a dangerous animal, they will coat themselves with mud on their ears, hide in the grass or in the rocks, and they can't see a person at all, but a clod of soil, like the skin of a chameleon, instantly invisible. ”
Listening to these descriptions, Tang Ning was really a little dumbfounded, it seems that there are so many strange people and strange things in this world, which are far from what his small brain can imagine.
Passing through the intestinal country one day later, Tang Ning's original intention was not to go to this country, because when he chatted with Duo Jiugong and Lin Zhiyang before, he found that some of the practices in this country were very disgusting.
That time, it was Tang Ning who provoked the topic and asked Duo Jiugong: "Jiugong, is it true that the people of this intestineless country have no intestines?" ”
Duo Jiugong shook his head and replied: "There should be, but it seems that their intestines are relatively short or straight, so after eating, the food hardly stays in the body, and it is excreted directly." Therefore, they have to find a good place to solve before eating, so the people here seem to be sneaky and thieves when eating. So there's nothing to visit in this place, and I really can't accept the thrifty methods of the rich here, so let's go directly to Shenmu and Yuangu to play. ”
"What kind of frugality are they?" Tang Ning asked curiously.
"If their frugality is the right way, then the province is the province of the province, and there is nothing wrong with it. However, because the people in this place eat a huge amount of food, after all, they can't absorb much after eating once, so they spend the most on food, and if they want to save, they can only make up their minds in this regard.
This is where the thrifty method that I am not accustomed to comes from, because the food passes through the body very quickly, so it does not stink, so they save this feces and give it to the slaves to eat, and even this kind of thing refuses to feed the slaves, until they eat it three or four times in a cycle, and they are willing to cook again after it has become completely rotten and smelly, do you say disgusting or not? ”
Hearing such a disgusting "method of frugality", Tang Ning was naturally reluctant to go, but at this time, the system sent a side task "Side Task: Solve the pain of people without intestines who can't eat normally." ”
PS: Actually, I've been wondering, that is, whether Nie Hongyi had watched "Mirror Flowers" before naming his son, it is estimated that he should have not seen it, otherwise he couldn't let his son be called Nie Er......
