Chapter 266: Drum Tower
The next morning, the golden sunlight shone down in a courtyard.
Drink! Drink! Drink!
A little girl in a brown exercise uniform held a stick in her hand, waving it decently at the foot of the steps of the main room, her immature face looking very serious, and her big beautiful eyes were full of murderous intent.
In particular, the pace seemed steady, and the force of swinging the stick was not light.
Shout! Shout! Shout!
In the blue brick and stone aisle in the middle of the courtyard, a sturdy girl is also wielding a Japanese sword, and a set of knife techniques are played by her with a very murderous atmosphere, sharp and clean.
Especially the sturdy figure, the slender and strong legs, and the shadow falling on the stone slab looked unpredictable.
Ooh! Ooh! Ooh!
On the south side of the courtyard, a sturdy man stood bare-armed, playing a set of boxing techniques on the blue brick and stone brick road, which was a bit like a leopard, looking agile and powerful.
In particular, the fist waving in the air seems to be able to break through ordinary earthen walls, and it is afraid that it will lose its opponent in the army.
Multiply! Multiply! Multiply!
In the southeast corner of the courtyard, a big black man with a height of more than 1.9 meters was gnawing on a large bun, fetching water by the well, and his thick arms were strong and powerful.
When the bucket reached the mouth of the well, he was reluctant to put the bun down, and with one hand he lifted the heavy bucket and poured it into another bucket, and then carried it back to the large tank of the kitchen, seemingly effortlessly.
He didn't seem to be panting for breath, and the large water tank in the kitchen filled him with water.
Chirping! Chirping! Chirping!
A little golden monkey jumped on the roof, and the golden morning sun fell on it, and the fur of the golden retriever appeared more vivid, and the monkey appeared alert and vigorous.
In particular, the pair of black eyes, full of spirituality and wisdom, a swallow lying on the roof was caught by it, but after a few plays, it was released by it.
Lin Haoran pushed open the door and walked out of it. Bathing in the warm morning sun, looking up at the clear sky, stretching his lazy limbs, it looks very comfortable.
The status of the Ming officials is undoubtedly admirable, but this holiday is despised.
At the beginning of the dynasty, the officials of the Ming Dynasty had only three days off a year, namely the Spring Festival, the winter solstice and September 18, which was the birthday of Comrade Zhu.
Fortunately, this system of exploitation can still work for ordinary people, but it is obviously not sustainable for the ruling class.
After the struggle of successive dynasties, the holiday situation of Ming officials gradually improved. Not only do we have fixed holidays such as the Spring Festival, Lantern Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, Winter Solstice and Winter Holidays, but we also have fixed three-day monthly holidays every month, which are the first, fifteenth and thirtieth days of the Lunar New Year.
Although this holiday system still does not satisfy Lin Haoran, the current holiday system is like this, and he cannot resist, so he can only hope that Yan Hao will lead everyone to continue to fight for a holiday system that is more in line with the identity of the ruling class.
He only took one day off yesterday, but since tomorrow happens to be fifteen, he can actually rest for two days in a row.
Maybe it's because of the holiday, Lin Haoran was in a good mood after getting up. It was just a slight surprise to him, this usually very quiet yard seemed to be very lively this morning.
Especially Ah Li, who danced the knife in the courtyard, watched the energetic body constantly writhing, which was indeed pleasing to the eye. Although that face is still cold, her eyes and teeth are bright, and she is a frost beauty.
Walking down the steps, I saw a stick on the ground, and I couldn't help but bend down and pick it up.
Suddenly, he felt a murderous intent, and turned his head to look to the right, but it was a tiger girl with a stick in her hand, and a starlight flashed in the corner of her eye, obviously provocative.
Lin Haoran picked up the stick and smiled, and decided to teach this little girl who didn't know the height of the sky to teach a lesson, and dared to challenge herself, a martial arts master, completely because she wanted to be beaten all over the ground to find the rhythm of teeth.
"Ah...... Yes...... Tiger girl, stop! ”
In just two rounds, Lin Haoran's stick was picked up and flown away, and he was chased and beaten by the tiger girl. If he hadn't kept his hands, he wouldn't have wanted to go out during the two-day holiday.
Hum!
The tiger girl glanced at Lin Haoran, who was begging for mercy, proudly, threw him a beautiful back of the chest, turned around and walked back to the place, and continued to play with the knife. According to the routine taught to her by Ali, she wielded it decently, and resolutely had the demeanor of a small martial arts master.
After breakfast, the group headed towards the drum tower.
The Drum Tower, essentially the Bell Tower, was the striking center of the era.
As with the rules of the temple, the "evening drum and morning bell" are used. There are fixed rules for the time of each hour, like the fifth watch, only the bell is struck without the drum, and the clock will be struck quickly eighteen times, and then slowly hit eighteen rings, and then the time will be struck.
Perhaps because it is an important landmark in Beijing, the Gulou area has gradually become a commercial center. The world's corporal industry and commerce have gathered here, which is extremely noisy and extremely prosperous.
It's rare to have a holiday today, so Lin Haoran naturally won't wear an official uniform, but changed back into a scholar's costume. It's just that he stood at the corner of the street, looking at the bustling crowd, and his brows couldn't help frowning.
He doesn't like this kind of bustle, but prefers quiet, but Tiger Girl is the opposite, and she is very excited to come to this lively place. The moth's eyebrows were slightly open, his eyes were bright, and his face showed a restrained smile.
It's just that she's too short, and there are a lot of people here, so Lin Haoran let the tiger girl ride on his neck. But this only increased her interest, and her little head looked around happily, and when she saw something good, she immediately commanded Lin Haoran to go over.
In just a moment, she was clutching a string of rock sugar gourds and a skewer of roasted meat in her hands.
Ali gradually showed the characteristics of a foodie, and in the face of this Ming delicacy, she had no power to resist. Although I don't like rock sugar gourds, I have a lot of fun eating all kinds of skewers and pancakes.
Perhaps it is this reason that has made her follow the tiger girl with all her heart, and she has accompanied the tiger girl to the north of Beijing for thousands of miles.
Probably because of her martial arts practice, her figure did not have the slightest trace of obesity, especially the two sturdy long legs, so that Lin Haoran couldn't help but look at it twice.
But when it comes to eating, Lin Haoran really admires the big black guy picked up by the tiger girl - the rice bowl, which is a real big stomach.
Everyone eats with a bowl, but he eats with a pot, and with the amount of food he ate yesterday, ordinary people can't afford to support it at all. seems to like to eat meat buns very much, so Fang Cai Hu Niu bought him a cage and made him giggle vigorously when he ate it.
But this big black man is also an expert at work, and the objects that Hu Niu added to his new home, as long as he can hang them on his body, he can afford to carry them, and it is simply a human-shaped procurement car.
A group of people walked on the street, but they were mainly tiger girls, and they were shopping here. But soon an unpleasant scene happened, when the tiger girl walked in front with her head on the head, her pants were bitten by a dog.
