Chapter 62 Chapter One

Primordial Ancestor of Giants Now, since we have time anyway, it is not useless and superfluous to trace to you the primordial ancestry of the good Pagnaguel; for I have seen all eminent historians compose histories in this way, not only the Arabs This is true of the Barbary, the Latin, and even the Greeks and pagans, who never leave their cups of wine. Therefore, you must remember that in the early days of the world (I mean the age long ago, using the calculation of the ancient Druids, it took more than forty forty nights to calculate), Asia Soon after Uncle was killed by his brother Cain, the earth was soaked with the blood of the righteous, so that there was a year when all the fruits were particularly abundant, especially the hawthorn. Everyone still remembers that year was called the year of the great hawthorn, Because three hawthorns can fill one "Boisault".

This year is exactly the year when the synodic calendar appeared in the Greek scriptures⑤: March must be the fasting period⑥, and the weather in August and a half is like May.I seem to remember that it was October, or September (don't get it wrong, because I want to remember it carefully), anyway, it is the famous week in the history books that people say has three Thursdays, because there were three. On Thursday, due to the irregularity of the leap year, the sun slanted to the left like a debitoribus pull, and the moon diverged from its orbit by more than five "twaz", so in the sky called Yaplana⑨ Visibly visibly vibrated here, and moved so violently that the Pleiades, the North Star, left their companions and walked toward the line of the same path; the wheat ear ② also left the Virgo ③ and went to the Libra ④; these astonishing changes, It was so mysterious and incomprehensible that the astronomers could hardly bite their teeth; if they could, their teeth were too long.

Just think about it like this, everyone likes to eat the hawthorn I mentioned above, because it looks really good-looking and tastes delicious.But in the end, like Noah, the good old man (thanks to him who planted grapes for us, we can make this elixir-like, wonderful, precious, only heavenly, pleasant, The nectar that surpasses the gods and is called wine) drank and drank confusedly, because he did not know the properties and power of wine; men and women at that time, like him, only cared about eating this big and beautiful fruit happily. ① Latins: the Laqiom people of ancient central Italy.

② There is also here on the first edition: "Even St. Luke and St. Matthew, the authors of the Bible." ③ Druid: Priests and priests of the ancient Gauls, they did not use the day as the unit of calculation, but the month as the unit. ④ Both Abel and Cain were the sons of Adam. Cain was jealous of his younger brother Abel and killed him. For the story, see Chapter 4, Section 8 of "Old Testament Genesis". ⑤ The Greeks had no almanac, which is to say that there was no such thing at all. ⑥ Catholics have a Lent period from Ash Wednesday to Easter, starting in March. ⑦ "A week with three Thursdays" is now also said to be "a week with four Thursdays", which means something that will never happen.

Latin: "lame", from the Latin idiom: Sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris. It means that few believers can not be "crooked".Another explanation is: Debitoribus is a word in Lyon or Provins dialect, meaning "bow-legged", which is composed of de and bitors (that is, bistortus in Latin) plus the suffix ibus. ⑨ Yaprana: The eighth sky discovered by Putuo Limei beyond the seven sky domes, where the stars are fixed. ① Pleiades: A star in the middle of the Polar constellation. ② Wheat Ear Star: The largest star in the Virgo constellation. ③ Virgo: The sixth place in the zodiac.

④ (13) Libra: The seventh place in the zodiac. ⑤ (14) This is the statement of the ninth-century Arab astronomer Ben Gaurit, which means that it is incomprehensible. ⑥ According to God's order, Noah built an ark, carried his family and various animals to escape the flood, and passed it down as the source of human beings for future generations.For the story, see chapters six, seven, and eight of the Old Testament Genesis. Then a strange change took place in them.Each of them has an astonishing swollen poison, but the swollen place is different.Some have swollen stomachs, which are as big as a two-thousand-jin barrel, and there is a sign: Ventrem omnipotentem①. These are good old people and optimists.From this branch later came St. Ponsard and Marti Guerra.

Some are swollen on the shoulders, so swollen that the back is bent, as if they are carrying a huge mountain. Everyone calls them "mountain piles". You can still see them in people of different genders and levels in society.From this branch, later gave birth to little Aesop ④, whose words and deeds have been recorded in books. Some of them were swollen on the pointed toes, and the swells were surprisingly long, big, thick, fat, hard, and strong. They were completely in the ancient style, and they could be used as belts, which could be wrapped around the body five or six times.If once it exerts its power, with the force of the wind behind it, you will think it is a spearman aiming his gun at the target when you see it.It's a pity that this sect is extinct, women say, because they keep complaining:

"There's no such big one anymore," blah blah blah. You all know the second half of the song. Some testicles have grown so big that three can fill a "muyi".From this branch came Lorraine's follicles, which never stayed in the crotch, but always drooped into the trouser leg. Some legs are swollen and long. When you see them, you will really say they are long-legged cranes or red-feathered cranes, and you even think they are walking on stilts.Children call them Jambus, using the nouns they learn at school. Some have grown noses, resembling the pipes of an alembic, colorful, with brilliant blisters, more and more blisters, red and purple, as if drunk, or glazed, full of small bumps , red, like the president of Ponzuster and the "wooden foot" doctor of Angers you have seen.In this tribe, few people like to take medicine, but there is no one who doesn't like to drink alcohol.Nazor and Ovid3 come from this tribe.In addition, there are surnames with noses, such as: Ne reminiscaris④.

Some of the ears grew so big that one ear would make a coat, trousers, and coat; another would make a Spanish-style cape.Some people say that there is still this branch in Bourbone ⑤, so there is the term "Burbone's ear". Some grew taller, and from this branch came the giants, and from this branch came the Pagogrue: The first ancestor was Sharbu Laot⑥, Sharbu Laot begets Sarab Laot⑦, Sarab Laot begets Farib Laot⑧, Farib Laot begets Urtari①, He was a king in the flood era, and he was very good at drinking soup, ① Latin: "the belly of the Almighty", which is a sentence from Patremomnipotentem (Father of the Almighty) in the "Creed".

② "Ponsal" means "big belly". ③ "Mardi Guerra" means "Meat Tuesday", which means that the day before fasting, you can eat meat for the last time, and everyone eats with a big stomach. ④ Aesop, because he was short, people in the Middle Ages called him Little Aesop. ① Latin: "old long legs". ② Angers: the capital of the province of Angers in France. ③ Ovid's full name is: Publius? Ovidius? Nazzo, here the author describes Nazuo and Ovid as two people. ④ French "nose" (Nez) and "born in a certain clan" (Ne) and "not" (Ne) are homophones, Ne reminiscaris comes from the atonement poem Ne reminiscaris delicta nostra (Don't miss my sin) and has no nose mean.

⑤ Burbonay: The name of an ancient province in France in the 16th century. The people of Burbonay are famous for their large ears. ⑥ ⑦⑧ Sharbraut: Sarah Braut and Faribold are all fictionalized by the author.

I know that when you read this passage, you must have a very reasonable question. You have to ask that in the age of the flood, except for Noah and the seven people who hid in the ark with him, all the rest died. And the aforementioned Ultari is not among them, how is this possible? It cannot be denied that the question is well-founded and clear; but my answer will satisfy you, or else I am out of my mind.Since I was not there at that time, I can't talk to you casually, but I quote to you the authoritative statement of "Masolet", who are the correct commentators of the Hebrew Bible, and they also think that what is said It is true that Ultari was not in Noah's ark at that time; it was because he was too large to get in; but he rode on it, with one leg on one side and one on the other, like a child on a wooden horse. , or like that "old fat cow" in Berne riding on a cannon that shoots stone balls (yes, it is indeed a fat animal).So he, besides God, was the one who rescued the ark in distress; for it was he who moved the ark with his legs, and steered it with his feet in the direction he was going, as with the rudder of a ship.The people in the ark, in thanks for the good he had done for them, sent him ample food down one of the chimneys.Sometimes everyone chatted for a while, as Lucian said about Icaromenipos and Jupiter. Do you understand all this?So, please have a drink first, don't add water.For, if you don't believe it, "I don't believe it either, she has already said it"②. ① "Masolet": Hebrew commentator of the Bible. ② Bern: the name of the Swiss city. ③ Refers to the Battle of Marignan in 1515. The French defeated the Swiss. There was a very fat Bernese named Pentimer who played the horn. He led seven or eight comrades in arms to destroy the enemy Two or three cannons.Another said that his name was Paul Venere, one of the Swiss leaders, because of his tall stature and big throat, he was nicknamed "Old Fat Cow" and was later killed by the Germans. ① See Lucian's "Icaromeni Persian Biography". ② "I don't believe it either, she has already said it": It is a refrain from a folk song, and the author quotes it casually here.
