Looking further into the corner, there was a stack of large, round, brown clay pots. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Chris got closer to see that the "crockpots" were actually made of thin rattan. She picked one up, looked at it carefully, and felt strange: This can't be used to extinguish fires, is it? Although it is very finely prepared, but if you use it to hold water, the water will leak out of the cracks in the rattan, and if you don't go all the way and drip all the way, the water will be gone when you reach the fire, so how can you put out the fire?

Chris asked, "Is this the one you need to hold water?"

The sword behind him heard her whisper, and even Sun Tan felt strange, and said in his heart: Doesn't the envoy know that he uses a "willow pot" to hold water to extinguish the fire?

Originally, these jars made of thin wicker were called "willow pots", which were put into the well to draw water, and the common people named it "willow pot buckets". Because wooden barrels are easy to deteriorate when soaked all year round, but wicker is not, so willow pots are more durable, and because they are finely made, they do not leak when they are fetched with water. Moreover, the willow pot is elastic, and it is hurried when fighting fires, and even if there is a bump, it will not be broken.

Jian Yan frowned, and snorted coldly in his heart: Don't you know this minimum common sense?

Chris saw something even stranger hanging on a wooden shelf, like something made of leather. Because it was propped up by a wooden frame, it resembled a humanoid leather coat with its limbs outstretched.

"This is for firefighters?" asked Chris looking back.

Sun Tan saw that he didn't know the "water bag", and he was a little hesitant to explain: "This ......"

"It's a hydration bladder! It's not for people......" another voice picked up.

Chris pulled up his leather pouch. It was found to be a horseskin, the horse's head had been removed, and the neck and four legs of the horse were tightly tied. She asked curiously, "Hydration bladder...... This thing is also used to extinguish fires?"

In the "General Dictionary" written by Du You in the Tang Dynasty, this kind of "fire extinguishing water bag" was recorded. In the Song Dynasty, this method of extinguishing fires was also used effectively. It is generally sewn together with the raw thin skin of horses or cows, and the mouth of the bag is tied up, which can hold three or four hundred catties of water. In case of fire danger, three or five strong men carry water-filled water bags to the fire site. With a bamboo that is more than a foot long and the bowl mouth is thick, it is knotted, made into a bamboo tube and placed in the water bag, and several people squeeze the water out of the water bag at the same time, and then spray the water column to the fire point.

After listening to the introduction, and imagining several big men squeezing a water-filled horse skin at the same time, Chris laughed. She really didn't expect the fire extinguishing equipment of this era to be like this.

After looking at the "water bag", her eyes immediately swept to the next to a few ball-like leather bags. This time, before she could ask, someone next to her said: "This is a 'water bladder', which uses the bladder of a pig or cow, and it can hold water." As long as you find someone with strong arms and throw it to the point of fire, the water bladder will soon be burned by the fire, and the water inside will flow out, and the fire can be extinguished!"

Chris's current emperor Zhao Ji, the temple name Shenzong. It was in the middle of the reign of Song Shenzong - the eighth year of Xining that people were officially allocated from the Shang Forbidden Army and "hidden fire shops" were set up everywhere in the city. In the period of Huizong of the Song Dynasty, the flamethrower developed by Shen Kuo was transformed into a "pump" for fire extinguishing later, and then to the Southern Song Dynasty, the fire prevention and fire extinguishing system of Lin'an City was gradually improved.

At this time in the Song Dynasty, fire prevention and fire extinguishing work were still in a relatively ignorant period. The fire protection measures taken were also quite naïve, and they simply inherited the fire prevention system of the Tang Dynasty and placed the most basic "fire storage buckets" in the city. Although there is a latent fire army, due to the inconvenience of the dispatch system of the forbidden army, there are more and more serious fires in Bianliang City. As a modern person, Chris has realized that it is not enough to rely on fire prevention and extinguishing equipment to fight fires, and it is more important to establish a special fire fighting team, which is the fundamental way to effectively prevent and extinguish fires.

Chris simply felt that Song Dynasty's method of extinguishing the fire was too naïve and ridiculous, but he didn't realize that there were already people behind him who couldn't help it.

Suddenly, someone asked her, "Do you know what is on this shelf?"

Chris turned his head, only to realize that it was Jian Shi who asked the question. It turned out that he was talking to himself just now. Hehe, didn't you pretend to be deep on the way here?

Following the sword's fingers, she saw an iron shelf against the wall, and in the shelf was an eight-foot-long wooden pole, with hundreds of long cloth bands tied at the top of the pole, and at the top was a golden ball, shiny.

Chris said in his heart: It looks a lot like some kind of flower gun played by the honor guard during the carnival float parade. But since this is a warehouse for firefighting supplies, it is naturally related to fire fighting. She thought about it, sometimes the fire came urgently, and people also used clothes, branches and other first aid...... She hesitated a little and asked, "Is it ...... Is it with this thing...... Whipping the flames?"

No! If it was used to shoot fire, why would it be so exquisite? It was also inlaid with golden ornaments, and wouldn't it burn out when it touched the fire? After saying that, she felt ridiculous again, and laughed to herself.

A green tendon jumped on the sword's forehead. He asked in a deep voice, "What do you think it should do?"

"Probably...... Probably ......"

As Chris replied unhurriedly, the "protrusion" and "protrusion" at the sideburns of the sword man jumped up two more green tendons, and asked through gritted teeth, "What could it be?"

Chris didn't notice the change in the other party's tone at all, she thought about this question very seriously, and replied: "It may be more suitable for a martial artist who sings to carry it!"

Sun Tan saw that Jian Shi's tone was wrong, and hurriedly said, "That's 'Mazhi'!"

"What is Machi?" asked Chris.

Jian Shi pointed to a row of wooden shelves and said, "The one that is plugged in is called 'Ma'." ”

Chris saw that there were wooden poles on the left and right sides of the iron shelf, and the length of the wooden poles was the same as that of the 'hemp hold', but the strips of cloth were much less, and there were no gold ornaments on the tops.

Jian Yan said: "The difference is first of all the weight, adults can try it!"

Chris walked to the edge of the wooden shelf first, held the wooden pole with one hand, and lifted it up, it weighed about two pounds, slightly heavier than he thought. She looked closely at the strip of cloth, which was tied with hemp. When touched by hand, it is very hard, not like a strip of cloth at all.

She walked up to the iron frame again, and lifted up the wooden pole called "hemp", but did not lift it with one hand. She added her other hand, and with enough force, she lifted it up. Xindao: That hemp seems to be used to whip the flames, but I'm afraid this hemp is not!
