Chapter 161: In the bathroom
The huge wooden walls of the bathrooms contrast sharply with the black bricks of the castle outside, and it is hard to imagine that there is such a place in the castle.
The temperature was very high, and as soon as the snow mark entered, he felt like his skin was on fire, and he wanted to quit immediately, if he hadn't seen someone inside, he would even suspect that Roland was going to kill someone.
Even the owl on his shoulder opened its mouth wide and seemed to feel the terrible temperature.
"Oh my God, is this a crater?"
"This is Sauna – sauna. The tradition that has lasted for 10,000 years in the North Olympics is the quintessence of the North Olympics, which has spread all over the world, and before the end of the world, there is this entertainment activity in various parts of the world. The people of Beiao believe that the sauna can cure all physical and mental problems, they are cold and shy outside, but as soon as you enter the sauna, they will open their hearts to you, as has always been. ”
The sauna was crowded with people, and almost the entire castle was there, and here he saw several familiar faces, the scarred and mountain-like Agas, the sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked Karl, the poet knight Kevin, and so on. Regardless of class, the knights and peasants huddled together, talking and laughing, changing their indifference and shyness outside. They greeted each other cordially when they saw Snow Marks, as if they had seen an old friend.
White steam swirls and the air smells of cloves and gooseberries.
What's even more peculiar is that this place is a place where men and women bathe, two rows of wooden benches on opposite sides, men and women sit on opposite sides, and Snow Scar looks at the women's side, and her eyes are immediately attracted to a naked and half-naked young woman, she is a waitress at the ball, Snow Scar once talked to her, but she ignored it indifferently. At this time, she was sitting on the bench naked, her beautiful breasts were beautiful and moving, and when she saw that Xuezhen was looking at her, she waved to Xuezhen generously.
Xueji was stunned again, and 10,000 grass and mud horses rushed by in his heart: what kind of country is Beiao!
He was surprised to find that there were not a few women who were topless, while the men turned a blind eye, and the men and women were courteous to each other, happy but not lewd.
This unique custom made Xue Zhen a little unacceptable for a while, and he was stunned on the spot. No wonder Roland said that the people of Beiao will open their hearts when they enter the sauna, and they will all meet each other, of course they can open their hearts!
Fortunately, Jean and Suvia are not here.
"Why do they want to be topless like men?" asked Roland, puzzled.
"Why can't they?" Roland looked at the snow marks like a fool, "Have you forgotten that I told you that the North Olympics are equal to men and women? Men can be topless in public, why can't women?"
"But that's ...... It's too much!"
Roland shook his head: "It seems that you still don't quite understand the truth here. In Europe, I have seen some so-called feminists, who keep saying that they are committed to fighting for the same social rights as men, but when they come to the North Olympics, where men and women are truly equal, they react like you, they can't accept it, and they feel that they have suffered a big loss. To put it bluntly, in fact, they do not want 'equal rights for men and women', but for 'women's privileges'......"
Xueji didn't understand, but he understood what Roland meant: This is the custom of Beiao, let's follow the customs.
Looking at the waitress who waved to him frequently, he had to use the same method as Qin again, and repeatedly hinted to himself in his heart: This is a buddy, this is a buddy......
Maybe it's because I'm getting used to the temperature in the sauna, or maybe it's because the door is open that the temperature in the sauna is lowered, and the snow marks feel less hot.
But at this moment, everyone suddenly stood up and slapped each other with a handful of birch branches. Full of rituals.
"It's good for circulation. Roland explained.
Snow Mark nodded, he was no longer surprised.
Then everyone took a step forward and began to step on a special floor in the center of the bath, which was a long flap with a horizontal axis in the middle of each floor, which could be turned up and down, and the way to turn it was with their feet. But the plank is heavy, and it takes a man and a woman across from it to work together to make it roll up and down.
So people automatically formed pairs and pulled the thick hemp rope hanging from the roof of the shed to keep their bodies balanced. Begin to flip the floors one foot deeper, one foot shallow.
People laughed and laughed, as if they were carrying out a production activity.
When the heat-resistant birch plank was turned over for the first time, the snow marks saw through the cracks the red coals below, which turned out to be a mechanism that could heat up the sauna.
The men and women shouted slogans and stepped on the flaps faster and faster, and the heat rushed up, and the sauna immediately heated up. Snow marks were also pulled into the team of stepping on the flap, and it felt like he had come to a hot production collective, the people were warm and friendly, coupled with the high temperature, he suddenly felt a sense of physical and mental relaxation.
The quintessence of the North Olympics is really extraordinary.
There were small wooden barrels hanging above the floor, and when the flap was turning at its fastest, someone overturned the barrels, and the cold water poured hot coals into it, and suddenly screamed, and the steam filled the space. It's like entering a fairyland.
There were also cheers, and everyone was enthusiastic, just like before.
In the hot steam, Snowmark shook hands with everyone one by one in a daze, and continued his job of finding traitors.
