Before the invention of the toilet, how did Europeans go to the toilet in the Middle Ages

The true flush toilet was invented in the late 18th century, and it wasn't until the Victorian era in the 19th century that modern toilets became standard in most houses in Britain. How did Europeans excrete during the long Middle Ages? And where does the exported waste go?

The answer is: whatever. In the early Middle Ages, European towns were still quite small, and people either defecated in the streets, or the more elaborate ones were bottled up and dumped in the streets or rivers.

In sparsely populated villages, the problem of internal emergencies is even more unrestrained. However, an unwritten rule is "one stone's throw away", which means that the place to solve the problem must be at least one distance away from the nearest dwelling to shoot arrows, and it is difficult to imagine building a toilet at home.
