Section 77 Urban timekeeping
Time passed quickly, and Lancet and Wu Miaoshui, the two of them fell asleep while talking.
After half a ring, Wu Miaoshui sneaked up from the bed lightly.
Wu Miaoshui never fell asleep, thinking about what happened during the day, thinking that he shouldn't be so impulsive, there are many ways to lead out the mastermind behind the scenes, and he shouldn't choose a violent and stupid way.
When he didn't understand the laws and regulations and customs here, he acted too recklessly and lacked the qualities that a scout should have. Blame yourself for this matter, and think carefully about tomorrow's countermeasures. So Wu Miaoshui walked to the door......
The pylorus department, regardless of black and white night, is illuminated by lanterns all day long.
During the day, lanterns are hung, and at night they are kept by watching.
There is a tower at the highest point of the pyloric capital, and the lantern on the tower is used for timekeeping.
Each lantern is very large, ten times the size of the lantern hanging by ordinary people, and the brightness is naturally ten times that of the usual lantern, and the lantern is not lit by an open flame formed by grease or the like, but a dark fire similar to a night pearl, except that the light is not green but pale yellow. It would take six Helicobacter pylori men to hang such a large lantern.
I am not a resident of the pyloric capital, and I really don't understand the meaning of the change in the number of lanterns hanging high and the extinguishing of them.
Hang a lantern to represent five o'clock in the morning.
The tower is like a new star, and the faint lights are a reminder that the day's work is about to begin.
At this time, the residents of the pyloric capital should get up and wash up and prepare for cooking.
When the second giant lantern is hung, it means that it is already six o'clock in the morning.
The area around the tower became brighter, and the entire top of the tower could be seen clearly.
Gradually, there were more lanterns in the city. Echoing the giant lantern of the lighthouse, the entire pylorus looks very beautiful, majestic and magnificent.
The towers have no roof, some are very spacious and have a width of three to four hundred square meters, because unlike the human world, where there is wind, rain and sun exposure, there is only a transparent protective cover above the pylorus, so the sky is very safe, and nothing can fall in, there is no rain and no white clouds.
At this time, there were already many pedestrians on the streets of the pyloric capital, who were rushing to their place of work to prepare for a busy and happy day.
A third lantern is hung on the tower, representing the beginning of seven o'clock in the morning.
The whole pylorus entered a prosperous day, working and studying, eating, drinking tea, drinking and having fun. The "big machine" of the city is fully operational.
At 12 noon, when the city is at its brightest, all eight large lanterns are hung and lit. Eight large lanterns are lit, just like the sun hanging high in the human world, you don't dare to look at it directly, once you peep into the eye will be punctured.
In the afternoon, a large lantern is extinguished every hour. They were extinguished until six o'clock in the evening, and the huge lanterns were replaced with small lanterns for the common people, and only a small lantern was hung at first.
When only a small lantern is hung, it means the beginning of the evening, which means six o'clock in the evening.
At this time, some jobs have begun to work one after another, and there are more pedestrians on the way home.
A small lantern is hung every hour until it falls at 5 a.m. the next day, and when it falls, there will be a total of 10 small lanterns hanging on it. Then ten small lanterns, removed at the same time and replaced with giant lanterns.
When the second lantern is hung, it means that at seven o'clock in the evening, the watch begins.
At seven o'clock in the evening, the rhythm of the beating sound is:
One slow and one fast, hit three times in a row, and the sound sounded like "Knock! - Knock! "Boom! - Knock! "Boom! - Knock! "This looks a bit like the sound of a monk knocking on a wooden fish.
In this way, the rhythm of playing is changed every two hours, and each time it is different, it is probably as follows:
At nine o'clock in the evening, I hit the second watch, hit again and again, and hit many times in a row, and the sound was like "Knock! Boom! ”。“ Boom! Boom! ”;
At 11 o'clock in the evening, play the third watch, one slow and two fast, and the sound is like "Knock! - Knock! Boom! ”;
At one o'clock in the morning, play four watches, one slow and three fast, and the sound is like "knock-knock!" Boom! Knock";
At three o'clock in the morning, I played five watches, one slow and four fast, and the sound was like "Knock-knock!" Boom! Boom! Boom! Until five o'clock in the morning, the end of the shift.
As soon as the beating stopped, when the first giant lantern was hung, Lancet and Wu Miaoshui were woken up by the guards, ready to wash up and eat early and wait for the court arraignment.
Wu Miaoshui was worried that the arraignment would hurt the lancet. Decide to take any crime on yourself. The thing that hurt the shopkeeper was also done by himself. Thinking of this, he had to discuss with the Lancet, and it was necessary to make a confession.
Wu Miaoshui took advantage of the absence of the guards and took advantage of the last opportunity to wash up and get to the Lancet.
Wu Miaoshui said softly: "Sister, when the arraignment is later, what responsibility do you put on me?" The thing that hurt the eyes of the shopkeeper was also instructed by me to do it. Did you hear that? ”
Of course the Lancet refused, didn't this make Wu Miaoshui to death? Even if he is acquitted, Wu Miaoshui is also a capital crime, can he be happy in his heart? I can't go for the rest of my life.
Lancet: "Sister understands. But my sister disagreed. ”
Wu Miaoshui was in a hurry.
said: "Sister, don't worry, my skin is rough and thick and can withstand beating." I've been trained in all kinds of interrogations, so it's no problem to carry it. You can rest assured, so you agree, right? ”
The Lancet: "You take me for a fool, you admit everything like this, it can be a matter of beating, it is a matter of capital crime." ”
Wu Miaoshui: "It's just a small win-win incident, how can it be involved, what about a capital crime?" ”
The Lancet was moved by Wu Miaoshui's friendship and choked up and cried. He said as he wiped away his tears with his cuffs. "I don't know if I'm asleep when you're a sister." You thought I was asleep last night, and I heard what the guards said, and this is a condemnation to death. ”
Wu Miaoshui: "I have all fired my guns, capital crimes are inevitable, you must live." You have a very difficult task to survive, in addition to finding Brother Huayu, you also have to bring back the small notebook on your body about this experiment, as well as Wei Dahua's old dog betrayal to teach them. Think about it, what kind of scene it would be if Wei Dahua's old dog went back and did some sabotage. Therefore, you must live, you must go back, and you must expose Wei Dahua's betrayal. ”
The Lancet was moved by Wu Miaoshui's words.
"And what do you do?"
Wu Miaoshui deliberately straightened her waist and patted her chest heavily with her hand.
said: "I was originally a soldier, and I have long put life and death out of the way. For the great cause of the motherland, I am also heroic and righteous, and I am a hero. I died without hatred or regret. ”'
Wu Miaoshui felt that he was frightened by saying this, so he deliberately said mischievously: "Sister, I'm a hero, are you right?" ”
The lancet wiped away tears.
Say, "To you are a hero." is a big hero in my sister's mind. ”
After speaking, the lancet grabbed Wu Miaoshui's hand, and went to the court with his fingers interlocked.
