Apart from going to Henian Hall for two minutes of drinks that day, Lin Linyou spent the rest of the time staying in his room. With two thick slices of grilled sausage hanging from his mouth, how could he dare to go out and hang out? I'm afraid if the dog sees it, he will pounce on me and start chewing me!
On this day, there is no mobile phone to play, no computer to play, and no... play. It is not difficult to endure. It is the first time in so long that I feel that a day can be so long.
The days in winter are always very short, so short that the sun has not yet risen when you go out, and the sun has already set when you come back.
And this is just an ordinary day in a long winter, an ordinary day in a long life.
It turns out that you can sit quietly and do nothing for a whole day.
Lin Linyou sat quietly, in a daze, thinking about some people and things, thinking deeply and deeply.
As soon as the sun set, he picked up the wooden footbath and poured hot water. He prepared to soak his feet and then went to bed. When he fell asleep, he didn't think about anything.
The footbath is made of beech wood. As soon as the hot water is poured down, a faint fragrance of forest trees rises, which is refreshing, but compared with the pine footbath of Emperor Jiajing a hundred years later, it is not even a little bit worse.
Of course, he is the emperor after all! How could a humble commoner like me be comparable?
Historical records: The wooden basins used by Emperor Jiajing to wash his feet were all made of freshly planed pine boards. They were not allowed to be painted or oiled because he liked to smell the woody fragrance when hot water was poured into the pine wood. A wooden basin was only used once. The second time the woody fragrance disappeared, it was given to a eunuch with a position in the palace... luxury, really luxury.
Lin Linyou bought the wooden basin from an old man for only two hundred coppers. Although it was rough, it did not leak and was really useful.
The wooden basin is also embedded with a long vertical handle, with the top handle facing inward. The entire wooden basin looks like a goose stretching its neck and twisting its head to preen its feathers.
He had seen this kind of foot-washing wooden basin at his grandfather's house when he was very young. When he was a child, this kind of wooden basin was found in almost every household of the older generation. It was strong and durable. Even if it was worn out, it would not be thrown away, but would be used as a chicken or duck. Make the best use of everything in the goose's food bowl.
When he first came to Daming and saw this kind of footbath, he seemed to be back in his childhood...
Hey, I can’t think about it anymore, I’m going to cry if I think about it anymore…
While Lin Linyou was soaking his feet, he took out the "Wudang Ladder to the Clouds" from his arms and read it randomly, trying to divert his attention.
"Second brother, your takeaway has arrived!" Zhang Bi's voice sounded in the yard.
"I'm in my room." Lin Linyou responded, feeling happy. Not only because he had food to eat, but Zhang Bi was back and he wouldn't be so lonely.
It’s great to travel back in time and be accompanied by good friends.
Zhang Bi opened the door and came in, placing an exquisite bamboo food box on the desk next to Lin Linyou: "Dogwood and lotus seed porridge, it clears away heat and detoxifies, drink it while it's hot! Your lips are thick, and you won't be able to chew meat for a while." ”
"Oh! Porridge is better! There is nothing more heart-warming than a bowl of steaming porridge in this cold winter!" Lin Linyou put down the book, opened the lid of the box, and picked up the white porcelain inside with one hand. Spoon, holding up the same porcelain white porridge bowl in one hand.
"Yes! Sweet potatoes, my favorite roasted sweet potatoes on the streets in winter." Zhang Bi said, "Hey, it's strange, why can't I see anyone eating roasted sweet potatoes in Ming Dynasty?"
"You're crazy!" Lin Linyou was scraping a full spoonful of porridge along the edge of the bowl, "The sweet potatoes haven't been introduced yet!"
"Oh, when were they introduced? I am a science student and my history is not very good." Zhang Bi asked, "I will no longer be a Jinyiwei, and I will set up a roasted sweet potato stall on the street."
"Sweet potato and sweet potato, generally those that begin with the word "fan", only entered our country during the Ming Dynasty." Lin Linyou thought for a while, "If I remember correctly, sweet potato, it was around the end of the Ming Dynasty, right? It seems to have come from an island called Luzon. The place should be the current Philippines... Hey, if it could be introduced earlier, I'm afraid Li Zicheng wouldn't have revolted, and the Ming Dynasty might be able to continue for a few more years."
"It's a pity..." Zhang Bi nodded, "Eat it quickly!"
Lin Linyou blew the porridge a little and put it into his mouth: "It smells so good!"
"Of course! The porridge at Bajian Porridge Shop is very famous!" Zhang Bi said, "Many scholar-bureaucrats who are tired of eating delicacies from all over the world often go to his porridge to drink porridge."
"Have you eaten yet?" Lin Linyou took a big mouthful of porridge.
"I've eaten." Zhang Bi said.
Lin Linyou: "I'm asking you if you've ever eaten this porridge."
Zhang Bi shook his head: "That's not true. I haven't gotten tired of eating delicacies from all over the world."
"Look how fat you are." Lin Linyou said with a smile, "Eat less meat, drink more porridge, keep in good health!"
"No matter how fat I become, I can still fly higher than you... Hey, are you reading this book again?" Zhang Ben picked up the "Wudang Ladder to Cloud" on the case, "I told you this is a fake I’m still reading, be careful not to get carried away! The New Year pictures you bought are so beautiful.”
"Isn't this boring? I'll hide under the covers and read the New Year pictures later." Lin Lin said.
"Hurry up and throw away this fake book! Xia uses force to break the ban, this is a banned book!"
"I am a Jinyiwei, not a knight!"
"You are a knight, but you are not a knight of the rivers and lakes, but a knight of the Jiaofang."
"Hey, I'm afraid I won't be able to go to the Jiaofang Division for these two days." Lin Linyou sighed.
"It's just that you should be cultivated and cultivated," Zhang Bi said with a smile, "Recharge your batteries, pay attention to the first two words!"
"It's just right. I have nothing to do. Brother, please teach me how to practice Qi!"
"this……"
"Hey! You said you were going to teach me, how can a man go back on his word?" Lin Linyou finished the bowl of porridge in a few seconds, licking his tongue with unfinished content.
"Teach me, I won't teach you." Zhang Bi smiled maliciously, "If you do this, dry your feet, put on warm shoes, and go get me a basin of foot-washing water, and I'll soak my feet too. "
Lin Linyou: "You..."
"Huh?" Zhang Bi stared at him provocatively, "You don't even want to do this?"
"Okay! Just hit me. As promised, I'll give you foot-washing water, but you have to teach me how to practice qi!" A man can bend and stretch. In order to learn how to practice qi, just give him foot-washing water!
After a while, the foot washing water came. Zhang Bi put his smelly feet in, his brows stretched: "Comfortable——"
"Can we teach now?" Lin Linyou pinched his nose.
"There's no rush." Zhang Bi said, "I still want to hear the story of the little duck."
Lin Linyou: "Do you think I look like a duck?"
"Like." Zhang Bi looked at him seriously, "Especially those two mouths."
"..." Lin Linyou stretched his neck in anger.
"Hey, it looks more like it!"
…
At this time, Yang Fang and the captain, who were huddled in the corner, also felt that the day had passed very long.
They were also drinking porridge. It was the captain who forced Huang Gui's wife to cook it with a knife. It was thin porridge without much rice. To be precise, it was clear soup with a few grains of rice floating in it.
But this was enough for them to replenish their physical strength, enough for them to charge out.
Finally, the sun went down.
It's getting dark, getting darker...
The moon is dark and the wind is high, it’s a murderous night...
Outside the hospital, Huang Run Huangze and the others also ate the dry food they brought with them or the porridge and rice sent by the villagers. At this time, they lit torches and illuminated half of the village like daylight.
"I'm sorry!" The captain threw the bowl, picked up the child with one hand, and put a knife on Huang Gui's neck, "You, open the door and walk in front!"
It seems that one child is not enough for him and he wants to buy himself a double insurance.
Yang Fang finally couldn't help but say: "Now that I have escaped, I will let the child go. Huang Gui can take him away..."
I originally came here for Huang Gui and the others.
The captain said rudely: "Yang Xiaoqi, I know what to do! You don't need to teach me!"
His resentment is not without reason. If it weren't for Yang Fang, he would not be in such a situation.
Now, he has to rely on himself to not only survive, but also to get military honors alive!
As for taking the blame, Yang Fang, the leader of the team, will bear the blame no matter life or death!
