Looking at the orderly flow of people coming and going, it can be seen that this earthquake is just as Yun Chu said, and Yizhou City, where the Fang and Shao families are located, is the one with the least impact.

Yun Chu and I stood at the gate of the city and glanced at each other, and said in unison: "Let's go first." “

Entering the city in a small circle, passing through the two streets one after another, if you look closely, you can still identify the traces after the earthquake, and strangely, even the damage to the houses in this area is much lower than Yun Chu's prediction.

I followed Yun Chu and the two of them around the city to check around, and I couldn't help but say to him: "Did you find it, the reason why the impact is small is because the structure of the houses here is a little different from the place where the City Lord's Mansion is located. ”

"The houses here use a lot of wood, and I can see that stone is rarely used."

"But I don't understand, what if such a patch of wood-framed houses catches fire?"

When I rested, I sat on the tea stall and lowered my voice to discuss my thoughts with Yun Chu.

The old man who was sitting next to us drinking tea glanced at us, smiled and answered, "Little girl, are you from out of town?" ”

I nodded in return and said, "The old man has good eyesight." ”

He waved his hand and said, "Where, I only found out when I heard what you were saying." ”

"Little girl, you're right, Yizhou City is indeed mostly made of wooden houses."

"Well, I walked around two streets and found that it was really like that, is there anything special?"

"Yizhou City goes north, there are large forests there, producing good timber, so according to local conditions, people here for generations have liked to build houses with wooden structures, which is cheaper than the benefits of using bricks and stones. Locally sourced. Second, there is a saying in Yizhou that there may be earthquakes every few decades. So, that's something that everyone who lives here knows. ”

"And there is such a statement? Could it be recorded in the Yizhou County Chronicle? ”

"This statement has been passed down almost from generation to generation. Some of the ancestors of the Yizhou people were people who migrated from the Nanling area in the past, so the people here especially believe in the sayings handed down by these ancestors. ”

The old man who sat and drank tea together spoke in a calm tone, but I heard a shock in my ears, and it seemed that he didn't dodge or hide when he said it, as if he didn't need to hide it.

The rumors of the people of Qibei talking about the Nanling area almost changed, and the people in Yizhou City actually reacted in this way.

Yun Chu said in a low and indifferent voice: "Don't feel strange. It's their ancestors, and there's nothing to hide. ”

"Besides, it has been passed down for many generations, and it is just the root cause."

I took a sip of tea and said to the old man, "You just said that I was right. So what about the other point? ”

The old man put away his smile and said, "You talked about the problem of fire before, you might as well take a look over there?" ”

He pointed to me, and I looked in the direction of his gesture and found nothing.

At one end of the courtyard corner, there is a large wooden shelf. It is divided into several layers, and there are many dried wild vegetables inside.

I looked at it again with suspicious eyes, and couldn't help asking, "Uncle, isn't there a wooden shelf?" What's so special about it? ”

The owner of the tea stall had just sent off a group of customers, and came over to answer, "Little girl." You come with me and have a look. ”

I got up and followed him, all the way to the corner of the house.

The owner of the tea stall just flicked it with his hand, and the wooden shelf actually turned a 180-degree circle, revealing a huge pool of water underneath.

"Ah," I said, taken aback, "it turns out that the shelves above are there to cover this pool." ”

On closer inspection, I made an even more surprising discovery, because the water in this pool was not stagnant, but several long hollow bamboo pipes leading to this pool.

It's a match for modern tap water!

"Yun Chu, come and see." I smiled and shouted at him.

He walked over, squatted down and glanced at the pool, curled the corners of his lips, and said, "This setting is very good." ”

"Yes, but the topography of this Yizhou City must also work."

The owner of the tea stall explained: "The entire city of Yizhou was not actually built on flat ground, but on a slope. ”

"The ancestors of Nanling, who built this city, introduced spring water from the mountains into the whole city, and buried water pipes along the streets of the city, so every household drank the spring water from the mountains."

"You just need to build your own pool."

"Little girl, the fire you mentioned, every household is not short of water, even if there are some small fires, the water can be extinguished as soon as it is poured."

Yun Chu stood up and glanced around, "Xiao Ling'er, and the houses here are not built in succession like the southwest gateway. ”

"There is a narrow alley between every house."

"It's really thoughtful." I praised and said, "The predecessors planted trees and the later people enjoyed the shade, borrowing the light of your ancestors." ”

After resting for a while, it is time to find an inn in the city to settle down.

Just a few steps out of the tea stall, the old man behind us called out to us.

"Little girl, are you looking for a place to live?"

I looked back and said, "Uncle, we want to find a clean inn, not along the street, quieter." ”

"That's just right, I have a nephew who has opened an inn on West Street, it's quite big, do you want to live there?"

West Street? My intuition did not match Yun Chu Aijing's personality, and the old man saw my hesitation and said with a smile: "The inn is divided into front yard and back yard." ”

"The rooms in the backyard are separated from the street by a garden, so you don't have to make any noise."

"That's a good dare." I arched my hand and said, "I'm sorry old man, you can show us the way." "Two rooms!"

Without waiting for Yun Chu to react, as soon as I entered the store, I directly took out the money from my body and handed it to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Little girl, we don't have such a place here, we all stay in the hotel to eat first, and then settle the bill when we leave." ”

I blushed, and said that I didn't want to be separated from someone, so I paid so much.

Sitting in a corner of the store, in front of the square table, the shopkeeper served us a pot of tea, and I added three light side dishes.

Yun Chu held his chin with his hand and kept looking at me, I was uncomfortable with him, and finally couldn't hold back and said, "What are you looking at, it's been a long time." ”

Yun Chu frowned and thought for a while: "I'm thinking, when did Xiao Ling'er become so generous, come out with me, and actually take the initiative to pay for the silver." "Can an earthquake change personality?"

I was picking up a pair of chopsticks and stuffing them into my mouth, listening to his words, I almost choked.

Yun Chu smiled and looked at my wolf bèi, shook his head and said, "I should wait until you finish eating." ”

I swallowed it easily, poured a few mouthfuls of water and said angrily: "You are too much, and you are still disgusted by paying money, I will come out with you in the future, and I will always eat and drink together." ”

I glanced at Yun Chu and saw that he didn't move, so I put down the spoon I picked up and asked him, "Is this dish still not to your liking?" “

"I'll have to ask the shopkeeper later if he can borrow the kitchen."

"No need," Yun Chu finally moved his chopsticks, I watched him eat a few bites of vegetarian food like medicine, and said with emotion, "There are only a few joys in life, and eating accounts for one." "You can't eat this, you can't eat that, and life is a lot less fun."

Yun Chu put down his chopsticks and smiled slightly: "Xiao Ling'er, you also said that there are a few things, so if you are not blessed with food, there are naturally other pleasures." ”

I looked at his close face, and made up my mind: "Sooner or later, I can end such days, and I will definitely have to take care of you when the time comes, even if it is this happy thing, you should not be absent." “

Bolting the deadbolt shut, I took the trouble to bring a large table to the door.

After washing my hands, I sat down and opened the wound medicine bottle that I had brought with me, and there was not much powder left in it.

I thought to myself, I have to go out early tomorrow morning and go to the pharmacy to grab some herbs to prepare.

The process of undressing, every time is torment!

Fortunately, staying in the inn is much better than when I was on the road, and I don't need to hide from Yun Chu to take medicine, now everyone has a room, so I don't have to worry about being discovered by him.

He was applying medicine powder to the wound when there was a knock on the door.

I could only interrupt and hurriedly start getting dressed, while responding, "Who is it?" ”

The knock suddenly stopped, and I hurried to check it, when the medicine bottle that was resting on the table rolled down the edge of the bed and landed in front of the bed.

There was a smell of medicine in the room, and Yun Chu's voice sounded from outside the door: "Xiao Ling'er, open the door." “

I scrambled to remove the large table against the door, sweat came out of my forehead, turned around to scan the room, and kicked the medicine bottle under the bed.

It's too late, so I'll have to clean it up later!

Seeing that the medicine bottle rolled under the bed, and I couldn't see it anymore, I got up to open the door, Yun Chu stood outside the door and said, "Why are you so slow?" "I'm sleepy, is there something important?"

I glanced at Yun Chu with a lazy look in my eyes and said, "Finally, there is an inn to sleep in, can you rest for one night, because of you, I have been tossing for a few days, it is very inconvenient." ”

Yun Chu's gaze fell on me, and he said a little playfully: "This is very ambiguous, what do you call it, because of me, I have been tossing for a few days, um"

After all, he still smiled lightly, took out a bottle from his arms, and said softly: "Melt it with water, put your hands in it and soak it for half an hour, and when the injury is all healed, there will be no scars." “

I took it, pushed Yun Chu out of the door and said, "I know, you should go to rest early, and we will go around the city tomorrow morning." “

On the first night of Yizhou City, at the inn, I opened the wound medicine bag that Yun Chu gave me, put down the curtain, started the medicine again, and took off my clothes one by one and put them next to my pillow.

I raised my hand and just picked up the medicine bottle, and suddenly my color changed!
