Taiyuan had been very hot lately, and I had to take a bath at home every day.
It was the middle of the dog days, sweltering sauna weather, and the neighborhood's water usage was enormous. The faucet pressure was often insufficient.
I could make do with a little water, of course, but today's tragedy was that the water got cut off just as I had soaped up my entire body...
The water had actually been cut off...
Maybe it would come back if I waited, but when I turned on the bathroom sink faucet, I found it was sucking in air...
Feng Xiao had once wondered: if a faucet sucked in air, would the water meter run backward?
But no matter which way it ran, it was obvious the water would not be back anytime soon.
After thinking it over, I confirmed that aside from bottled mineral water, the only water in the house was the boiling water in the thermos.
Then I could only order a barrel of bottled water for the time being. I placed the order directly on my phone and had it delivered; not only could I wash with it, I could drink it too.
The weather was scorching, and the delivery guy was busy. By the time I received the purified water, much of the water on my body had already dried, and some spots were starting to crust over...
That was not the point. The point was, sometimes people really should not be so cheap.
The facts proved that purified water could not wash the soap off my body. The more I washed, the slipperier I got...
I still had to order mineral water...
This bath had been rather expensive, so I absolutely had to post a third update to make up for the
