Zhao Zhikuan and his family were a little discouraged when they stood in front of this so-called house. This house could no longer be described as dilapidated. A few wooden piles supported a straw shed, and there were no wooden boards around it to block the wind. It was very different from the landscape of Haidian Island in later generations.

The pavilions on the avenue are similar to those with drafts on all sides. The scenery here is very good. You can see the sea view while lying on the bed, if there is a bed.

Seeing the appearance of the house, Old Xu was a little embarrassed and said quickly: "Please don't worry, Master Zhao. I will go back and arrange for people to send planks to block the wind for Master Zhao!"

Zhao Zhikuan nodded in agreement, and Old Xu went back to find someone to dig out the planks. Zhao Fuxiang saw this dilapidated house and sighed and said, "Dad, we might as well listen to Fan Tong and live in Damei Village. What's wrong with this dilapidated house?"

Is there anyone living here?”

Zhao Zhikuan looked around and said with a smile: "Although this house is dilapidated, it is on a high ground. You can see that the ground is very dry. I will sell some bricks and flip it over in a few days. It will be no worse than the houses in the city. When your mother and I got married,

We don’t have a house to live in the warehouse of our work unit. You should know how cold it is in the Northeast during the three-nine days. Didn’t your mother and I survive living in a house with no heating and air leakage from all sides? "

Ma Guilan walked into the house and took a look. There was nothing inside, the floor was covered with straw, and there was not even a stove. Ma Guilan said with a wry smile: "Old Zhao, this is much harder than what we used to have. At least we had a stove back then."

Cook on the counter!”

Zhao Zhikuan said with a smile: "It would be nice to have a place to stay. Later, the chief will bring some wooden boards to block the wind. Zhao Heng will go get the car. Why don't we bring tents and sleeping bags? We can make do tonight!"

"

Zhao Heng agreed, got up and went to the beach to try to get the car back. Zhao Zhikuan took his family here and started to clean up the house.

Zhao Heng came to the parking place and was worried. This car had a flat tire and there was no spare tire. What should I do?

Zhao Heng looked left and right, and had no choice but to swap the punctured front wheel with the intact rear wheel. This car was a front-wheel drive. As long as the front wheel was intact, it could drive away. As for the rear wheel, there was no flat tire in this era anyway.

On the highway, Zhao Heng estimated that the car would basically not move after driving to the place.

Zhao Heng started the vehicle after changing the tires. Zhao Heng's guess was correct. With the help of a big foot on the accelerator, the vehicle began to drive slowly. The rear wheels were very bumpy because they were replaced with deflated tires, but when they arrived at the beach

It's much stronger up there, after all, it's buffered by sand.

The beach where the car was parked was two miles away from Baisha Village. It used to take a few minutes to drive two miles away, but now it took Zhao Heng half an hour to drive. By the time he saw his new home, the car's fuel tank had been used up more than half, and the fuel tank indicator

Only the last grid is left on the table.

Zhao Heng parked the car next to the house and got out of the car. At this time, the local elder Xu Tou and several people were helping Zhao Zhikuan repair the house. Seeing this iron guy who could move around without oxen and horses, everyone was stunned.

They stood there dumbfounded in fear, and a few of them who were timid were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.

Old Xu Tou was the head of the village and was in charge of the two villages above and below Baishajin. He had followed the food delivery team to Nanjing and was considered a knowledgeable person. He bravely asked: "Mr. Zhao, who is this iron guy? Why?

Can you walk without animal power?"

Zhao Heng smiled slightly. He knew that he could not explain to the ancients what an internal combustion engine and gasoline were, so he had no choice but to say: "This machine uses a magical liquid to move."

Old Xu didn't know whether he understood or not. Anyway, after hearing the explanation, he nodded repeatedly and continued working with his men.

Big changes had taken place in the half hour since Zhao Heng left. The house, which originally had only a straw hut, was boarded up and the gaps were filled with straw. Although it could not be 100% isolated from the sea breeze, it was still possible to stand in the house and watch.

We have reached the sea outside, and most of the sea breeze has been blocked. The weeds in the yard have been cleared away, and fine sand has been sprinkled on the ground, which gives it a certain appearance.

Seeing his son coming back, Zhao Fuxiang groaned and said: "Son, you just happened to be back. You go and help them work. After a day's journey, I'll get in the car and lie down for a while!"

After Zhao Fuxiang finished speaking, he opened the car door and lay down on the back seat, fast asleep. Zhao Heng saw that his father sighed and said nothing. Zhao Fuxiang was born in 1980. He is the first-generation only child. Both parents have senior professional titles.

As a molecule, the income is high and I only have a child, so I didn’t suffer much when I was a child. Now I have to do such a small amount of work, so naturally I can’t stand it.

Zhao Heng saw his grandfather carrying a wooden board and quickly stepped forward to help: "Grandpa, you are old, let your grandson do the hard work!"

Zhao Zhikuan handed the board to his grandson and said with a smile: "How old you are! Your grandfather is only sixty-seven. Based on the average life span of seventy-nine, he can live for more than ten years!"

Grandma Ma Guilan smiled at the side and said: "Baby, your grandpa is in a good mood right now. When he retired, he used to complain every day that his studies were useless. Now in this era of industrial blanks, he has become the Edison of the Ming Dynasty!"

Zhao Zhikuan was in a good mood. He smiled and said: "Your grandma is right, your grandpa is an electrical engineer. I feel bad when I think that those electrical laws have foreign names. It's better now! What about Coulomb's law, Ampere's law and Faraday in the future?

The law of electromagnetic induction, Kirchhoff's law, etc. are all called Zhao Zhikuan's law!"

Ma Guilan joked on the side: "Do all these laws have the same name?"

This put Zhao Zhikuan in a difficult situation. Zhao Heng beside him smiled and said: "Grandpa, this is easy to solve. Just call it Zhao Zhikuan's first, second and third laws."

Zhao Zhikuan laughed loudly: "Yes! Coulomb's law is Zhao Zhikuan's first law, and so on in the future! Haha!!"

With the help of the villagers, the family quickly tidied up the thatched house. In addition to tidying up the yard, Lao Xutou also asked the villagers to bring a wooden tank to the village to fill the water tank.

well water.

Zhao Zhikuan took a look at the wooden vat. It was only half a meter in diameter. It was made of coconut wood boards and was fixed with iron hoops around it. Although the wood was not waterproof and was not as useful as the ceramic vat, a vat of water could still hold water for about a day.

After questioning Zhao Zhikuan just now, I found out that although Old Man Xu was called Old Man, he was only forty-eight years old, a few years older than Zhao Zhikuan's son Zhao Fuxiang. He had only been fishing at the beach all year round and was showing his age under the wind and sun.

"Xiao Xu, how can you use a wooden vat? Don't you have a ceramic vat?"

Xiao Xu, who was regarded as an old man, laughed and said: "Uncle Zhao, the pottery jars are too expensive. We don't even have them in the whole village. We only sell them in Fucheng!"

Zhao Zhikuan did not expect that there was not even an ordinary pottery jar, and he could not help but be pessimistic about the productivity of the Ming Dynasty. In fact, Zhao Zhikuan did not know that the production process of pottery jars was far more complicated than that of pottery bowls. On the huge Hainan Island, only the Ding family pottery kiln outside Qiongzhou Prefecture could produce it, but

Other pottery products are very common and are sold everywhere in Haikou, and the price is not too expensive.

It was almost getting dark at this time. Zhao Heng took out an outdoor lighting lamp from the car and turned on the rear light. The courtyard was filled with light. Xiao Xu and the others had never seen this before. They couldn't help but kneel down and kowtow again, chanting to God.

Miracle!

Zhao Heng was too lazy to explain to them now. After driving these guys away, he started to set up a camping tent in the yard.

This tent was originally used by Zhao Fuxiang's family of three, who were going to Sanya for a beach camping trip. However, the beach was closed due to the epidemic, so we had no choice but to pack it intact and put it in the trunk. Unexpectedly, it was used in the Ming Dynasty.

The late Ming Dynasty and the early Qing Dynasty were at the end of the Little Glacier period. Qiongzhou Prefectural Records recorded several instances of cows freezing to death due to snow, so it was still very cold at night on Haidian Island. Zhao Heng estimated that it was only about five or six degrees.

"Grandpa, you and grandma will sleep in the tent tonight, and my parents and I will sleep in the house!"

Ma Guilan was worried about her son and grandson and asked: "Although the door panel is installed now, the gap is still leaking air. Is it okay for you to sleep in it?"

Zhao Heng smiled and said: "Grandma, don't worry, we have sleeping bags, it's okay to sleep in the wild, not to mention the door panel to block the wind!"

Ma Guilan felt relieved after hearing what her grandson said. At this time, Sun Jing had already packed up everything in the car and stood at the door and said, "Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and our reunion dinner is instant noodles! How about it?"

Zhao Zhikuan smiled and said: "Okay, you do it first, I will go to the beach to give you a meal!"

After Zhao Zhikuan finished speaking, he found a long straw stick from the ground, then got up and went to the beach. Zhao Heng and his mother Sun Jing set up the gas stove and prepared to boil water for instant noodles. However, Sun Jing frowned after taking the water from the water tank.

Said: "This water is not good, you can't drink it!"

Zhao Heng stretched his head and took a look and found that there was nothing wrong with the water in the water tank, but it was a little turbid.

"Mom, isn't this okay? Can't you drink it?"

After Zhao Heng finished speaking, he stretched out his hand to grab some water and tasted it. Then he frowned and quickly spit it out, cursing: "What kind of well water is this? Why is it so salty? It's almost like sea water!"

Zhao Heng has never tasted sea water. In fact, sea water is much bitterer than the water from this well. Haidian Island is located on the seaside, and the groundwater on the island is eroded by sea water. The well in Shangbaisha Village is pretty good, at least it is not far from Nandu River.

, the salt content in the water is still within the tolerance range. Zhao Heng always kept mineral water in his hands in later generations. Even tap water is countless times better than this kind of well water, so naturally he can't get used to drinking the water here.

Sun Jing took the water and looked at it carefully under the lamp, and then said: "This well water has too many impurities. At the same time, because it is close to the Nandu River, the groundwater has been polluted by surface water. The organic matter in this well water exceeds the standard. It is not suitable for drinking without filtration."

Sun Jing is a pediatrician. Although his specialty is not preventive medicine and he has no research on infectious diseases, pediatricians are somewhat familiar with some infectious diseases. They know that if you drink this kind of polluted groundwater for a long time, other diseases will be easily affected. If you get malaria, you will be seriously ill.

of human life.

When Zhao Heng heard what his mother said, he quickly spit out the remaining well water in his mouth, and then asked: "Mom, what should we do? There is less than one box of mineral water left in the car. We can't stop drinking it from now on.
