Chapter 32: April 1995 Cloud Shadow
April 1995 Cloud Shadow
It doesn't seem to take long to say it. In fact, it took four months for my house to go through from the groundbreaking to the completion of the roof. The materials and labor costs of the house alone cost more than 70 gold coins, which are the expenses of ordinary people in the village to build the house. More than four times.
Even so, the project was not completely over.
I borrowed 20 gold coins from the secretary and 10 gold coins from the witch doctor to teach her to grow plants indoors to maintain the stable construction of the house.
Now the main body of the house has been completed, but the building of the courtyard wall is still going on. My courtyard wall with a height of 2.5 meters is unique in the village. Many people even say that I am not building a new house, but building a castle.
Of course the people in the village don't really think I'm building a castle, they just think I'm a young man who is extravagant and wasteful. I'm single with my children and I don't know how to save more food and then get a wife. Pretty, is it useful?
It’s really useful. Every time the merchants come to our village, the merchants are full of admiration for my house on the high slope. with accumulation.
The traveling merchants even wanted to spend money to spend the night at my house, even if they just camped in the courtyard. The two-meter-five-high courtyard wall really gave them more peace of mind than the low wall in the village.
I definitely wouldn't let those cunning merchants into my yard, those hordes of traveling merchants are almost synonymous with robbers when they're outside, they're notorious, I've heard too much as a guard, Some businessmen still have the habit of petty theft. When my house was first built at the beginning of the year, a walking businessman sneaked into the villagers' homes to steal things. After being discovered by Ah Fu, he drew his sword and wanted to resist. Uncle Masura, who was patrolling with me. He was a coward, holding his sword and trembling with fear, he didn't dare to cut each other with each other, or I found a chance to shoot that guy in the opposite direction.
After the head of the traveling businessman was cut off, he was sent to the town. Unexpectedly, he was a well-known criminal. The town rewarded him with ten gold coins. The two of me and Masura were thirty-seven points. I was seven and three. Uncle La praised me a lot for this, and I exchanged the money for food and distributed it to the workers and the poor households in the village, because I couldn’t accept the bloody money I spent in my heart.
Blessed to everyone, I got extra money and my courtyard wall has been repaired a lot faster. I have now moved out of my original home and moved into a new one. The secretary "Alfon" couldn't wait to move into the new home after I left. The spotless and clean new home makes He liked it from the bottom of his heart, and he almost bought furniture quickly, and brought his wife to live comfortably in it.
My new home is also very good. The best thing is the toilet built in my yard. Although it is a dry toilet, it has solved my problem of going to the toilet for many years. Every time I go to the toilet, I sprinkle a tablespoon of grass and wood ash on it. , the taste does not disperse, it is perfect.
Nothing to complain about, knowing that our home in another world doesn't even have a toilet of our own.
The structure of the toilet here is very simple. The bottom is a deep pit, and the top is a log cabin with four logs in the air. The wooden house with a length and width of more than two meters is covered with a solid stone floor to ensure that it will not collapse, leaving a hole in the middle. Squat to go to the toilet. People in this village do not have the concept of toilet paper when they go to the toilet, but I can use it carefully in my own home. After using the toilet, I dig a wooden spoon from the bucket of plant ash and sprinkle it down, which can somewhat cover the smell of excrement.
At present, I am the only one who uses the toilet. Under my repeated pressure, Ah Fu also took out his tuba by the side of the pit, and I used a wooden shovel to shovel it into the pit.
This simple toilet is easy to maintain. According to my estimation, it is enough to hire someone to dig out the fermented manure in the pit once a year. Fermented farmyard manure rich in plant ash is the best helper in the garden.
That's right, the yard of my new house is also built with flower beds and flower beds. Some wild flowers that were transplanted in the late spring have already bloomed. The plants are lush and lush. kind of scene.
It took me more than four months to build a house. For me, who is constantly traveling between the two worlds, it has doubled. I have grown longer and longer, and it is just around the corner to break through one meter and five. I am the most beautiful cub in this village.
In fact, after I stabbed the gangster to death for the first time, the villagers stopped treating me as an ordinary child. Before Ah Fu killed three people, but in the eyes of others, Ah Fu is fierce, it has nothing to do with me, wait for me The long-barreled gun also saw blood, and they looked at me no longer as casually as before, but with respect and awe.
There are so many militiamen in the village, except for the old man Galle, I am the only one with life in my hands.
Carrying a long gun and holding my son all day, I have also become the dream lover of the girls in and outside the village. When those village girls see me patrolling or standing guard with a vicious dog, their eyes are straight, just like the old man in Galle Like everyone else said, sooner or later I will grow up to be a handsome guy who dreams of being my wife.
I laughed about it, yes, they dream.
Of course, even if they don't like me, I don't care, anyway, I have no idea about the girls in this village and the surrounding villages.
It's not that I'm arrogant, but that their ideas and living habits are too different from mine.
I often feel that the difference between me and them is bigger than that between me and my dog. My dog even knows to take a bath every two or three days, but most of the boys and girls in the village don't know why they take a bath unless they go to the river to play with water. thing.
The young villagers don’t eat candy, so their teeth are mostly white, but the smell in the mouth is suffocating. I can say that I have had enough of bad breath and body odor over the years. But asking me to marry a woman who doesn't like bathing or brushing her teeth is absolutely unacceptable.
Of course I don't believe that people here don't like to be clean and hygienic by nature. They just have no conditions. My son Wang Jerry has been dragged by me for eight months now. He is lively and cute, and he looks like a little angel. He can already be in my house by himself. Crawling up and down the kang, in my opinion, he is cleaner and more beautiful than any baby of the same age I saw in another world.
After the smooth and clean kang is covered with leather, it is most suitable for the baby to crawl around. I am afraid that he will climb to the edge and fall down. I built a whole slope on the edge of the kang, and I also spent a lot of money on the flat stone floor. Zhang leather, he can climb on the leather to rest when he feels cold.
The fireplace is firmly blocked with wooden fences. I don't worry about him running too close to get burned. The wooden door of the basement is also locked. He can't even open a small baby. As long as I am at home, the whole family allows him to crawl. .
My son is healthy and smart, turned over at less than 4 months old, has a lot of energy, doesn't like to stay at home all the time, and likes me to take him out to see all kinds of things.
When he was six months old, the little guy began to imitate my simple syllables. The first time he said the word "Dad", it sounded like "papa", but I was still moved to tears, hugged him and kissed him again. Dear.
My son can understand me now. When I talk to him, he will imitate my pronunciation and say some simple words. He knows that I am a father and will call him "A Fu". Not only can he say "dog" in Chinese and English, but also "dog" in the two dialects of Luhe Village and Shanghe Village.
Eight-month-old babies of the same age are kept at home most of the time in Luhe Village. When their parents are away, they don't cry or make trouble, they just crawl around like little beasts in the dirty grass nest at home. Go, bugs and fleas suck blood and parasitism on them, and little children babble into their mouths after pinching a beetle or a rotting grass stalk.
Can you imagine?
Everyone here, rich or poor, grew up this way from infancy.
Sometimes I feel bad for them and want to change them, but I have no idea where to start. I am exhausted from taking care of my own children, and I have no spare time to help them.
My son has been eating solid food since he was six months old. Now he can eat soft and rotten meals, but his milk has not stopped, and his fruits, vegetables, meat and eggs have not stopped.
Meat and fish can be bought in the village, and the vegetables are occasionally wild vegetables. I also grow some in my yard, but they are mainly vegetables that I brought from another world. After all, beans, eggplants, pumpkins and tomatoes are these things. There is no side at all, and a cellar as big as my house is not built for decoration.
In the past, I seldom brought fresh vegetables, because fresh vegetables were completely dead when they were brought in. They could not resist the invasion of microorganisms, and they spoiled very quickly. At that time, I liked to bring dried beans, dried radishes, pickles and other vegetables that can be stored for a long time. East.
What's interesting is that after I read the principle of canning, I tried to put vegetables and fruits in a well-sealed plastic bag for storage, and the storage time was unexpectedly long. If you don't consider oxidation and the chemicals inside vegetables that have nothing to do with bacteria In response, vegetables can really be stored longer.
It's amazing, right?
After crossing the Shimen, even the bacteria are dead. Now I wrap the vegetables tightly with plastic wrap, and store them casually for two months after taking the Shimen, and they still look the same as fresh.
When I read a biology book, I said that all creatures on the earth actually have a symbiotic relationship with other creatures, such as people. Thousands of microorganisms are parasitized on the surface of human skin, and the inside of the body is full of various parasites and mutualism. Bacteria and fungi, these huge microbial communities and human cells jointly determine the state and characteristics of human beings. Rather than saying that human beings are "human", it is better to say that they are a collection of human-based, other symbiotic and parasitic organisms.
So I was very curious. According to this theory, there are countless bacteria, viruses and parasites in my body, so when I pass through the Shimen, will they die? Or do these mites, roundworms, and E. coli also gain the power to pass through the stone gate like me, and can travel back and forth between the two worlds like me?
The question is, if those things can pass through the stone gate and come to this world without dying, what about their descendants? Can their offspring, those little bacteria, little parasites survive in another world?
I am skeptical.
When I first came to this world, I lived in a barn, and I had a lot of lice and fleas in my hair and body, but since I returned to the other world, I was no longer infested by bedbugs and fleas. Cooking clothes, shaving hair, and killing things are better, but on the other hand, even if I don't do those things, I won't be harassed by parasites, because everything that has followed me through Shimen is dead.
I checked and it was just like the rabbit that died suddenly. After I crossed the stone gate, the lice, fleas and bed bugs on my body were all dead. Some of them couldn't even catch my clothes and hair fibers. Shake down.
I now feel that the parasites and beneficial or harmful bacteria on my body will probably not be able to "smuggle" with me to the opposite world, so in a way, I can pass through Shimen at the end of the month. Said to be a pure "person" without any impurities.
Interesting idea, isn't it?
