After Zhang Yi finished speaking, the Chang family girl felt a little embarrassed.
"You Taoist priest, I kindly gave you water, how could you accuse my family of having insects in the water? Could it be that the water that my Chang family can drink, you, the Taoist priest of Longhu Mountain, cannot drink?"
The Chang family girl feels aggrieved. Her good intentions are being treated like a donkey's heart by the people in front of her?
Zhang Yi knew that she had misunderstood. After all, the ancients didn't know about microorganisms.
He explained carefully:
"What mortal eyes see is different from what I see. My sister has misunderstood!
There are invisible insects in all things in the world. They are in our bodies, in streams, and in the air. Some of them are good and some are bad. If you drink water with bad bugs in it, you will get sick! So I haven’t drank raw water since I was a child, because the disease comes from the mouth!”
The girl from the Chang family was stunned. Is there such a thing?
She felt what Zhang Yi said was interesting, and her curiosity was aroused:
"Are you fooling me? Although I rarely travel far now, I used to travel with my parents. The water in the mountain streams is crystal clear. How can there be bugs?
There are also bugs in our bodies. It’s scary to think about it. You are clearly trying to scare me! "
Zhang Yixiao: "Sister, I will show you when I have the chance someday, but you can't see me now..."
But the insects in the water are not words I created out of thin air. There is a saying in the Buddha's words. The Buddha observed that there are 84,000 insects in a bowl of water. He also said: It is like a large intestine. It is home to eighty-four thousand insects. Buddha said this, why am I lying? "
The Chang family girl chuckled:
"You are a Taoist priest, but the examples you give are all Buddhist principles. Are you an undercover Buddhist who broke into Longhu Mountain?"
Zhang Yi smiled awkwardly: "Three religions and one family..."
"This is the principle of the Quanzhen Tao, and it is not the same as yours. Brother, are you really a spy?!"
Zhang Yi was even more embarrassed when the Chang family girl said something to him.
He used to pretend to be mature, but now he appears embarrassed and looks a bit childish.
The girl of the Chang family usually stayed away from home, so it was rare for her to meet an interesting child. She vaguely saw a bit of her younger brother in him.
He was also the one making jokes, and the sadness in the heart of the Chang family girl also dissipated a lot.
Zhang Yi had no choice but to see her like this. He was very serious about drinking boiled water, right? It's a pity that the ancients didn't recognize this truth.
In an era when supplies were scarce, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, and firewood were also important resources. Ordinary people were reluctant to eat hot meals, let alone use firewood to boil water.
Zhang Yi has insisted on drinking hot water since he was a child, and he was regarded as a weirdo in Longhu Mountain.
Because the ancients did not have a concept of microorganisms, bacteria, and viruses. Although the ancients used microorganisms to make wine, fertilize, and ferment various things, they did not connect these phenomena with microorganisms.
Zhang Yuchu also asked him about this quirk of his, and Zhang Yi explained it carefully, still using Buddhist sayings.
He didn't expect his words, but they happened to be heard by Zhang Changshang who was passing by. Comrade Zhang was furious.
Longhu Mountain is a Taoist holy land. As the son of a heavenly master, you quote Buddhist principles and practice Buddhist habits.
That day, Zhang Yi was chased all over the mountain by Zhang Changchang with his family skills. Lao Zhang refused to let anyone boil water for Zhang Yi, so Zhang Yi split the door panel of his home to make a fire himself...
Lao Zhang continued to beat him, and he began to burn tables and chairs...
He fought hard to survive in this era of poor sanitary conditions.
In the end, Zhang Changsheng compromised and let him do whatever he wanted.
The Chang family girl saw Zhang Yi was silent, but she didn't know that he was thinking about the past. She just thought that she had hurt the child's self-esteem, and she felt a little sorry:
"I find it interesting what you said about the bugs. Can you tell me about it?"
Therefore, Zhang Yi popularized the principles of microorganisms and bacteria to the Chang family girl.
"The ancients said that diseases enter through the mouth, but where do diseases come from? Most of them are caused by eating uncleanly, and the so-called uncleanness is mostly related to water insects..."
The Chang family girl may not believe Zhang Yi's theory, but the world Zhang Yi describes is very exciting.
Ever since her father became a general and she was promised to Zhu Biao, Lan had always asked her to treat herself as a lady.
The girl from the Chang family also had a secret love for her future husband, and she also wanted to work hard to become a person worthy of him. Maybe it was because she hadn't seen the outside world for too long, but she was actually aroused by a child. Yearning for the outside world.
Zhang Yi spoke for a while before finishing.
Mrs. Chang also felt that her menstrual cramps were better. She smiled softly and said:
"Little Taoist priest, thank you, I'm feeling better, and thank you for sharing these things with me!"
"My sister seems to be a little happier, that's good! The so-called person is gone, my sister must learn to look forward!"
Zhang Yi doesn't have a venomous tongue, but his mouth is still very cute. In addition, his appearance is also outstanding, which makes him even more likable.
But when he mentioned Chang Sen, the Chang family girl felt a little sad.
"If my brother is as well-behaved as you, maybe there won't be any accidents...
That day he beat the servant and his mother grounded him. Who would have thought that he would climb over the wall and have an accident..."
Through a few words from the Chang family girl, Zhang Yi roughly knew the cause of Chang Sen's death.
To put it bluntly, it is a story about a naughty child seeking death. No wonder Chang Sen did not leave much writing in history.
When he died, Zhu Yuanzhang had not yet named him a meritorious official. In addition, the Chang family would probably not mention this disgraceful way of death.
But why does Lan always feel that something is going on here?
It's nothing more than doting on the child too much and not accepting the reality.
Zhang Yi asked casually: "Is that servant going to suffer something bad?"
"I should have been angered by my eldest brother and beaten to death, but he..."
The girl from the Chang family remembered Zhu Biao's action of stopping Chang Mao that day. Chang Mao was still quite resentful of herself.
"Later, the eldest brother locked them in the woodshed and they escaped overnight..."
"escape?"
Zhang Yi was thoughtful, and asked the Chang family girl some details, and stopped worrying about this issue.
"The guy my sister mentioned has a shy face, but is he your sweetheart?"
He was smiling, but the girl from the Chang family was blushing with embarrassment. She spat at Zhang Yi:
"Don't talk nonsense, but... His Highness the Crown Prince and I do have an engagement!"
"Since ancient times, marriage between men and women has been ordered by parents and arranged by matchmakers. Who has ever asked their children for their opinions? Although my sister couldn't help it, she just happened to meet the person she likes. It can be considered a complete life!"
Zhang Yi sent a blessing, and the Chang family girl was naturally happy when she heard this.
She asked: "Can you tell fortunes?"
"I guess sister, you want to calculate your marriage?"
Zhang Yi made the Chang family girl blush with just one sentence.
Mrs. Chang was about to speak when she heard yelling and cursing in the distance.
"It turns out he's just a swindling Taoist priest, looking for a fight..."
Zhang Yi's face changed slightly when he heard Chang Mao's voice. Something happened with Deng Zhongxiu.
The more this silly senior brother is afraid of trouble, the more trouble will come to his door.
"Sister, I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to see what's going on!"
Zhang Yi ran away without caring about talking to Chang.
"Little Taoist priest!"
The Chang family girl gritted her teeth and followed.
