Chapter 41 boulder

One day, I found a stone that had been ground into a round shape, with a signature carved with a straight knife on it, forming a triangle with no sharp corners.The round ones are on top of the dustbins where the Portuguese workers who came here to fix the basement walls put them there.They put it there on purpose, to see who is interested in it and let him take it, so I discovered it.I took this stone to the kitchen and put it on the table.I went downstairs again, and I seemed to see another round stone like that.Sure enough, there was another piece, which was cut better and more accurately than the first piece. It could be seen that the middle of this round stone was perforated, and there was also a hole exposed on the side.There is also a chute on the hole, which can definitely be covered with a wooden cover, but the wooden cover is gone.The first boulder remains in its original shape, except for a small polished area where the signature is engraved.The second boulder is not as big as the first boulder.The second circle is just the right size to fit on top of the first boulder.Two boulders joined together can be turned back and forth.I watched it left and right all night.The two boulders originally came from the Saint-Laurent Abbey, which leads down to the steep banks of the Seine.I showed it to Michelle Leary one day, and he didn't know what it was used for.According to him, some kind of seeds or fruits are ground to extract oil, and the oil flows out of the side holes, but it is not certain.I washed it and washed it, many times, because I thought of the Black Death.

①Michel Lery (1901-?), French ethnologist and writer, participated in the Surrealist movement and wrote poetry collections and literary theories. ② These two national stones come from the Saint Laurent Abbey, which should be from the Middle Ages, so I thought of the Black Death that was raging at that time.
