Novel Bin Chapter 526 - 526: Deep Doubts
No matter what, Lu Ye had packed the table lamp for him. Zeng Sanshui was overjoyed.
He would present it to his old mother afterwards to make her happy.
Lu Ye glanced at the sky. “The dining hall is just below. At seven o’clock, food will be served. General, please help yourself.”
Zeng Sanshui waved his hand. “Alright, we will help ourselves. I didn’t expect you to treat us well either.”
These words were really not pleasant to hear.
Lu Ye pretended not to hear and left the room.
As soon as he left, Zeng Sanshui stuck his head in the room and fiddled with the electric light.
He turned it on and off repeatedly… clearly having a great time.
Lu Ye and the soldiers stood at the lower level and saw the room lights flickering as if they were dancing. They could not help but laugh.
After Zeng Sanshui was done playing with the electric light, he entered the bathroom and was shocked by the clear reflection on the mirror.
He closed the door and mustered his courage to take another look.
Realizing that it was just that the mirror was too bright and clear, he couldn’t help but exclaim, “Oh my god, how did they make a mirror like this? This is the first time I’ve seen myself look like this.”
He touched left and right and couldn’t help but exclaim. How could the southern frontier be an uncivilized place like this?
If he sold the table lamp and mirror, he would earn lots of money.
He turned around and looked inside. There were also two strange basins, one big and one small.
The sm,alter one still had water. He didn’t want to call anyone else and be treated as a country bumpkin.
After thinking about it for a long time, he said, “This should be a bucket for the feces, right?”
“Why can’t 1 pick up this bucket?”
He saw towels on the wall again, paper towels, a razor, soap, shampoo, disposable underwear, and other usual hotel disposables.
Zeng Sanshui really did not know how to use them. In addition, he really wanted to shit.
He opened the door and called the soldier guarding the corridor. “Hey, come here.”
When the soldier came over, Zeng Sanshui pretended to be calm and asked, “Is that a toilet bucket there?”
The soldier nodded. “Yes.” Thinking of Lu Ye’s instructions, he said carefully, “General, pee here. Then, press this button and it will be flushed away.”
Zeng Sanshui was shocked. “What? What did you say?”
The soldier was a little confused. “Pee!”
Zeng Sanshui was so anxious that he frowned. “Where?”
The soldier said, “Pee here.”
Zeng Sanshui muttered, “It’s like conversing in another language!” After calming down himself, he asked, “How do I flush the urine away?”
The soldier finally came to a realization and said matter-of-factly, “Press here.”
As he operated the button, the sound of water suddenly sounded. Zeng Sanshui looked surprised. “Why is the water coming out from here?”
After the mistake just now, the soldier finally became smart.
“Because there’s a pipe in the room. Water can come out of the pipe. It will naturally come out after pressing the toilet bowl.”
Zeng Sanshui could not help but be shocked. This design was too amazing.
For a moment, he was not sure if they were from the southern frontier.
He pinched himself hard. It hurt!
It wasn’t a dream.
What kind of geniuses were the people of the southern frontier?
Zeng Sanshui held back his pee and asked, “What’s that thing for?”
He did not feel embarrassed anymore. The other party had probably long seen through that there was nothing like this in the Ling Kingdom.
The soldier said, “This is a bathtub for bathing. If General wants to take a shower, I can help you fill the bathtub. If you want to take a shower, there’s a sprinkler beside it.”
Zeng Sanshui had never felt that he had so many questions. “How do I use this spray?”
The soldier removed the nozzle and then adjusted the water temperature. He said to him, “Adjust to the left for hot water and cold water on the right. It’s best not to shower for too long. There are too many people using water in the boiler room and the water supply suddenly stop.”
He could understand every word separately, but when combined, he could not understand it.
“This thing can even adjust the water temperature?”
“How can hot and cold water be produced together?”
The soldier was stumped by the question. “Well, we only found out after we used it.” There was no more explanation.
He was just an ordinary soldier. He really did not understand the technology behind the facilities.
Seeing that he couldn’t explain it, Zeng Sanshui asked another question, “Then why is there a roll of paper here?”
The soldier said matter-of-factly again, “Of course for you to use it.”
Zeng Sanshui gritted his teeth. “How am I supposed to use it?”
The soldier was so frightened by him that he almost took out his gun. “It’s used to wipe your hands, and in the toilet?”
Zeng Sanshui’s eyes widened. “For toilet use?”
The soldier nodded carefully. “Yes.”
Zeng Sanshui exclaimed again, “Oh my god, you guys really know how to enjoy yourself!”
Chu Shixiong had probably never enjoyed something like this before.
Because of the toilet bowl, bathtub, and shower, Zeng Sanshui was very curious about this small and especially exotic hotel room.
From the electric lights to the soap, shaver and disposable underwear, he used them all.
When he lay in bed feeling refreshed, he felt as if he had never treated himself as a human in the past ten years.
He couldn’t help but grab the soldier whose mouth was dry from all the explanation and ask, “Are all the houses in your southern frontier like this?”
If it was all like this, how far behind would their Ling Kingdom be?
The soldier replied hoarsely, “Not all.”
Zeng Sanshui heaved a sigh of relief. He knew it. How could all the houses be built so well?
The Great Empress of the Carefree Kingdom must have specially spent a huge sum of money to build this place for the sake of her reputation. She was waiting for their envoy to visit so that she could earn Emperor Ling Hui’s favor.
The soldier did not know what he was laughing about. He glanced at the sky and reminded him, “General, don’t you need food? The food will run out in the dining hall once it’s past the time.”
Zeng Sanshui was indeed hungry. Seeing that the soldier had been dutifully talking for so long, and had worked hard, he took out his money bag and rewarded him with two taels of silver. “Take this to buy wine.”
The soldier said honestly, “We’re very disciplined and can’t accept silver. If others find out, 1 won’t be able to work as a soldier anymore.” Then he said, “Also, in our Carefree Kingdom, silver is not a common currency and can’t be spent.”
Zeng Sanshui was stunned. “What? You can’t spend silver? What are you spending?”
The soldier took out a few notes from his pocket. “We use banknotes and gold.”
Zeng Sanshui pursed his lips. “Then you can just exchange silver for gold.”
The soldier said, “Then you have to exchange it first before you can use it in Carefree Kingdom. Otherwise, you won’t be able to buy anything.”
Zeng Sanshui was stunned. “Then who should 1 exchange it with?”
He really had a feeling that he would not be able to spend money after going to Carefree Kingdom with the silver.
The soldier said, “You’ll have to ask our General Lu about that.”
Zeng Sanshui made a note of this and went to the dining hall downstairs to eat.
Ht had thought that the food would not be good. Unexpectedly, there were all kinds of delicacies, fruits, and desserts.
Everyone was given a plate. Zeng Sanshui could eat whatever he wanted.
Zeng Sanshui looked at the golden abalone in the pot and could not help but question, “Do you usually eat these?”
