The poor condition of the house and fences showed that it hadnt been used for some time. I
37、 remembered from my earliest trip up the river that the house used to be hidden behind a forest area, and I was in a hurry to buy it before the owner finished getting out some rocks, cutting down the apple trees, and clearing away some young trees which had grown up in the fields.

45、tors to the Beijing Palace Museum can still see the old water clocks showing the time there. In the Middle Ages a waterless clock was invented which worked by means of weights.
