443 Existence is beauty
Everyone looked up together, and Xu Wen also squinted his eyes and looked forward.
I saw a person coming out of the depths of the door, and his appearance was quite peculiar.
He was about thirty years old, very tall, and even handsome.
He was dressed in a scribe's shirt, but he carried a hoe on his shoulder, which was still stained with mud, as if it had been used not long ago.
In the same way, the corners of his clothes were full of mud spots, but he wore them casually and didn't mind at all.
He looked at the new group of young craftsmen, smiled very happily, and even a little enthusiastically, and after he finished saying that sentence, his eyes quickly fell on the burden behind them, licked his lips and asked, "Is there anything to eat?"
These two sentences are too incompatible, which makes everyone very confused.
However, this is also a group of honest children, and they don't bring much food, but when they heard the other party say this, they still honestly untied the burden, took out the dry food inside, and handed it to the other party.
"Wow, white bread, and jerky!" the man's face lit up when he saw the food they had pulled out, and he rubbed his hands together and grinned, "What's so embarrassing?"
Polite, his movements were not polite at all, first grabbed the pork jerky in Jiang Wangfeng's baggage, and kept stuffing it into his mouth.
Jiang Wangfeng is the heir of Yipin Workshop, and he has never lacked meat to eat when he was on Jiangnan Road before, but since he left home to serve on the road, he not only didn't know the taste of meat for a long time, but also knew what it was like to be hungry. But his mother wanted to exercise him, but she didn't let him bring much money on the road.
Now seeing this person eating the meat he had finally bought in Greenforest Town, Jiang Wangfeng couldn't help but feel distressed. But the young man was thin-skinned, he endured the distress, and persuaded the other party to eat slowly and choke carefully.
The meat is air-dried, contains little to no water, and is very tough.
The man's teeth were really good, and he chewed and ate the piece of meat, and he ate it quickly, and it seemed that he was really hungry.
But Xu Wen noticed that although he ate quickly, his appearance was not ugly, but there was a kind of free and easy to fall.
His bearing was cultivated, and with his scribe's shirt, Xu Wen looked at him twice.
However, this person ate quite modestly, ate a piece of meat, and after eating another piece of cake, he patted the crumbs, tied the burden, and handed it back to Jiang Wangfeng.
"Thank you, I haven't eaten for a day, and I'm a little hungry. He said with a wry smile, his brow furrowed, very attractive.
Jiang Wangfeng immediately forgot his previous distress, looked behind him in surprise, and asked, "You live here?"
The man stood up and walked inside, and said casually, "Yes, stay for a year." Usually someone regularly brings things up from the bottom of the mountain, but this time I don't know why it was delayed, and it was two days late. ”
"It's been two days late, and you've been starving here?" Jiang Wangfeng was shocked.
"If you're afraid of anything, someone will come. Isn't that why you're here?" said the man with a smile.
"Do you know we're coming?" Jiang Wangfeng asked, and under his influence, he unconsciously followed inside.
The others were also taken inside, and Xu Wen raised his eyebrows, but still followed.
"Guess?" the man laughed but didn't answer.
He turned his head to look at Jiang Wangfeng, and his gaze drifted from Xu Wen's body intentionally or unintentionally.
"Then it's for sure!" Jiang Wangfeng said happily, "You live in the mountains and still receive the following news? You can still get supplies regularly...... Could it be that you have a shortcut up and down the mountain here?"
Jiang Wangfeng's brain was very active, and he immediately thought of the most critical thing.
"I'm not telling you. The man grinned, as if he was teasing Jiang Wangfeng.
"Then there must be!" Jiang Wangfeng reasoned quickly, and began to look around, as if trying to find out the legendary road.
However, of course, the road was not so easy to find, but it didn't take long for him to be attracted to the building next to him again, and he couldn't help but look at it.
Xu Wen was also staring over there.
The vegetation of Tianyun Mountain is scarce, but it is not completely absent.
It's just that now it's a cold winter, it's the time to exhale into ice, the leaves are withering, the plants are withering, and only the black and yellow traces are left in the loess, which looks very miserable.
However, these traces of withering remain on the building of Shibiju, but they have an unusual flavor.
He had seen it from a distance, the stone wall dwelling was different from most of the buildings he had seen in this world, almost no wood, and it was a relatively pure earth and stone structure.
It clings to the rock wall, and you can't see how it is connected, but it is very firmly attached, and your feet have a different sense of stability when you step on the ground.
The main stone of Shibiju is granite, just like their previous concerns, granite is too hard, it is not easy to obtain materials, and it is not easy to carve.
The builders of the stone wall dwelling did not forcibly violate the characteristics of the material itself, and how complex the patterns were carved on it.
He skillfully used a variety of different materials, with granite as the main body, bricks and bluestone as decorative sub-materials, matched with each other, so that the whole stone wall house appears concise and varied, the brick carving on the door, the tile under the eaves are very exquisite, although the tempering of the time wind and sand seems a little blurred, but it can still be seen that the ingenuity of the original builder.
Tianyun Mountain has granite storage, and the building of Shibiju is obviously taken from this material, but how to take this material, how to transport it, and how to cut and shape it successfully is also a big problem.
And where does the bricks and bluestone on the building come from? Could it be that there are also these different material reserves on this Tianyun Mountain?
There is another key, looking at the past from this angle, it can be clearly seen that the stone wall is completely attached to the stone wall without being grounded in the world. Half of it is embedded in the stone wall, and the other half is protruding outside, which is a semi-cave structure, but this part of the outside is not small in size, and it is obviously also to bear the force.
Now the road under their feet is hewn along the mountain, and there is no paving of stones, but it is very smooth, and it is not clear whether it is the original mountain road or the one dug out from behind.
Xu Wen guessed that it was likely to be the former, otherwise it would be a bit unreasonable to choose such a place to build a house.
Of course, even if there was such a road in the first place, it would be incredible to build such a large building here.
Suddenly, Xu Wen's gaze stopped on some traces on the surface of the stone wall residence, and asked, "You stayed here to restore the stone wall residence?"
"Yes. Houses that no one lives in will always be deserted. Although I don't know who built this stone wall house, it's a pity that it's gone, right?" the man said leisurely with a hoe.
"But if it's built in this kind of place, even if it's repaired, it's useless, and no one will come to live in it at all!" Jiang Wangfeng said.
"Definitely. Some things do not need to be used and should be preserved, and its existence itself is a kind of beauty. The man shook his head disapprovingly.
For these young people other than Xu Wen, this is undoubtedly a completely new concept.
They are all novice craftsmen, and since they were apprentices, they have been accepting the idea that things are made to be used, no matter how beautiful and beautiful they are, they must also serve the use value, and that is the first thing.
It's okay to say that beauty like this doesn't matter to anything else, they have never been exposed to it before, and they subconsciously want to refute it.
However, at the moment when the words were about to be spoken, they all thought of the shock they felt when they looked at this place from afar on the way up the mountain, and suddenly they couldn't say anything to refute it.
Should such a striking beauty be made to disappear silently?
Obviously not!
"May I ask your name, sir?" Xu Wen asked suddenly.
"Nameless, Wu Keming. The man smiled and introduced himself.
