12 Ancient Road Home (II)
Walking past the couple and their children, after a short while, Wu Qingchen began to see houses, most of which were made of branches and turf, and only a few logs could be seen in very important places.
Naturally, such houses are dilapidated and look crumbling, and every time Wu Qingchen discovers a wooden house that looks like it will become a ruin as soon as a breeze blows, and feels that it is about a miracle of architecture that can no longer be surpassed, he will soon find another dangerous house that challenges the nerves of the residents even more.
Next to these huts, or piles of rags, stood a few of the occasional inhabitants, yellow, hungry, and weak, with equally tattered clothes, patches all over their bodies, many without undergarments, and through the holes, patches of thin flesh and conspicuous bones were exposed.
Compared with these people, the family of four that Wu Qingchen passed by just now was not at all "miserable".
It was also at this time, during the night training, that Wu Qingchen finally deeply understood what a gray-haired professor pointed out: the "misery" of the earth in the 21st century and the "misery" of the medieval world are completely different concepts.
In addition, in the face of such a situation, Wu Qingchen's feelings and the earth's feelings are also two completely different ideas.
Wu Qingchen didn't even pay attention, and along the way, there was almost no communication between the "father" and "brother" and these residents on the side of the road.
----
French Ministry of Defense.
"The results are in!" The door to the office of the Chief of General Affairs of the Intelligence Bureau slammed open, and the secretary rushed into the room at a rapid pace.
"Costumes: the main object, the first object, the second object and the objects that temporarily appear in the medieval world are clearly distinguished."
"Physical health status: the main object, object No. 1, object No. 2 and the object that temporarily appears in the medieval world are clearly distinguished."
"Bare skin color: ...... The difference is clear. ”
"Traces of bodily labor: ...... The difference is clear. ”
"Language: ...... There is no communication at this time. ”
“……”
“…… To sum up, the main object, object No. 1, object No. 2 and the 13-bit object that has appeared in the medieval world should not belong to the same class. ”
"Good!" After quickly reading the report sent by the secretary, the director who had already stood up quickly picked up the phone number that had also been dialed earlier, "Director, the results are out, intelligence analysis shows that the subjects A1 to A13 of the medieval world belong to the serf class of the medieval world, and the main object, the No. 1 object, the No. 2 object, does not belong to this class. ”
"Good!"
On the other end, the director put down the phone, his eyes quickly swept over the synchronous fax, and soon grabbed another phone as well: "Pick up the Military Intelligence Department...... Mr. Andrew, subject 1, object 1, object 2 were initially predicted to be wrong, and the hierarchy and environmental hazards need to be adjusted. It is now authorized, the level is raised by one level, and the environmental danger is lowered by one level, and the authorization code is ...... File No....... Password...... Password...... Year, month, day, hour, minute, second......"

Following behind his father and brother, Wu Qingchen continued to move forward, completely unaware that it was just a few glances, and thousands of intelligence analysts had already helped him preliminarily clear the identity of the serf with reference to countless details.
Following the muddy and dirty road, Wu Qingchen gradually walked into the interior of the settlement, and the houses gradually became dense.
The medieval world dense means: from a hundred meters to a wooden house, to fifty meters to a wooden house. If on Earth, the "denseness" of a building gap of 50 meters is enough to bankrupt any developer.
Most of these "dense" gaps are composed of woods, vegetable fields, highlands, and even hillsides and streams, probably because it is too difficult to level the ground, and the houses are located in a variety of places, and the size and shape have repeatedly challenged Wu Qingchen's impression of the word "house".
However, the houses here are at least a little decent, although most of them are still made of logs and turf, and it is evident that most of them have been cleaned up, and some of them have a few signs of repair of new wood that is noticeably lighter.
The pedestrians on the road are also dressed normally, with fewer patches, most of them wear wooden shoes, the degree of hair tangle is no longer amazing, and the traces of occasional cleaning can be seen on their faces, if you must use the earth of the 21st century as a reference, these people are already relatively close to the down-and-out beggars in underdeveloped areas---- if this beggar also has some mental disorder symptoms.
As for the more tattered people who passed by before, in addition to the various shocking case legends of the forensic doctors, Wu Qingchen really couldn't find an image in his mind that could match them from the earth in the 21st century.
Mentally disturbed beggar No. 1, beggar No. 2...... No, father, brother occasionally greeted passers-by, and occasionally there were mentally disturbed beggars who could not tell their age...... No, the pedestrians called out "Los Os", the name of Wu Qingchen's medieval world, and talked to Wu Qingchen.
Wu Qingchen responded by muttering vaguely or pretending not to hear.
About a heavy life can kill excess curiosity, for Wu Qingchen to ignore it, as well as to step on the east, step on the west, try to choose a cleaner ground, this is definitely a different way of walking than before, the beggars do not turn a blind eye, occasionally talk to Wu Qingchen is not the point, and no one tries further at all.
After turning several corners where there was no plan at all, Wu Qingchen finally saw a building that was not made of turf and wood.
More precisely: not a building made entirely of turf and wood.
The building is about five meters in size, with a mostly square stone block underneath, a roof frame made of clearly selected timber in the middle, and a carefully selected layer of hay on the top roof.
In front of the building, there are several rough stone sculptures, and through the open door, a long platform is placed in the innermost part of the building, and below it are rows of long wooden tables.
At the same time, the road in front of the building is no longer muddy, but is rarely paved with a layer of stones.
Wu Qingchen also noticed that as they passed the building, the "father" and "brother" walked much lighter, and the two of them also made a strange gesture at the same time, and whispered a string of syllables that had never been said before in a strange tone.
Immediately, Wu Qingchen determined: this is the center of the village, a religious site.
This is the credit of the night training, and similarly, because of the night training, Wu Qingchen has been mentally prepared for the emergence of religion.
After 20 minutes of religious training, Wu Qingchen learned that in addition to faith, fanaticism, heresy, cruelty, barbarism, and burning at the stake, which are popular religious traditions, religion also often means order and rules.
The presence of the only religious site in the center of the village means that these rules and orders are relatively strong, and there is little room for challenge and violation.
With its existence, Wu Qingchen at least didn't have to worry about coming-of-age ceremonies such as fighting lions and leopards with his bare hands, and he wouldn't need to participate in trials such as climbing a sling hundreds of meters in the air to prove that he had the courage to fight and sacrifice for the tribe.
Walking through the stone-paved road, learning the gestures of his father and brother, Wu Qingchen muttered a string of syllables vaguely, and touched his left and right chests in a similar way.
Of course, religion can't bring all the benefits, at least, this posture is something that must be learned quickly.
The circle of houses near the religious buildings is a little better than the area you pass through, and the houses and inhabitants gradually fall apart as you walk through this small area.
According to the way of thinking taught by the teachers, Wu Qingchen speculated that the reason for this phenomenon should be that when the village was first established, several wealthy immigrants first worked together to build religious places, and then built houses for themselves around the church, and the followers of the immigrants then looked for ideal flat places to build their own houses around these areas.
"What's going on? Loos, Grace, Condru Sincher ......"
About ten minutes later, in front of another wooden house, a middle-aged woman holding a wooden barrel in her right hand beckoned to Wu Qingchen and the three of them.
"in."
The father who walked in the front replied, and the brother who walked in the middle also spit out two simple syllables, and before Wu Qingchen could guess the meaning of these words, the three of them had already walked to the door of the wooden house.
The father led the way into the hut, followed by the elder brother.
Arrived? This is the home of the medieval world?
Just thinking about it, Wu Qingchen also walked to the door of the wooden house, took a step inside, and immediately retracted quickly and involuntarily.
When looking at it from the outside, Wu Qingchen still felt that although his wooden house was also a little dilapidated, it was quite firmly built, and the cleaning was quite neat, and the shape was not strange, so he was secretly a little happy in his heart.
When he got closer and looked inside, Wu Qingchen immediately couldn't help but gasp.
I'll you......
Is this also considered a house?
Is this also an environment in which humans can live and live?
The wooden house is low and low, but the space inside is very large, and there is no oppression of crampedness at all.
---- because it doesn't divide any rooms at all!
Leaning on a few logs that served as beams, the house is lined with beds in the middle of the house, with tables, stools, and chairs on one side and a mess of tools on the other.
Deep in these things, clumps of crops that were clearly fresh from harvest were piled up on the edges of the houses.
At the entrance to the door, the outside of the wooden house is dirt, the inside of the house is still dirt, the ground has not been treated in any way, and the house does not have any windows, but it is not very dark, because except for a few gaps in the roof on the side of the entrance to leak smoke, there is still a fire burning in the house.
A flame?
Wu Qingchen involuntarily rubbed his eyes: a girl in her teens was squatting by the fire, holding a plate of beans and pouring it into the cauldron on the flame.
Wu Qingchen's mouth opened wide.
All right...... The house is designed with a bedroom, living room, storage room, and kitchen......
Smoking is really bad for your health......
Standing at the door, Wu Qingchen almost burst into tears, half of which was due to the smoke of the wood, which had not been fully burned a few steps away, and half because he had not smoked for nearly five hours.
"Moo......"
There was a strange sound on the right side, Wu Qingchen turned his head, only to find that the advanced design concept could not be so simple, how could it only contain the places needed by the family members?
Of course, it also has to take into account the rest and well-being of the other part of the family......
On Wu Qingchen's right side, several hens, two sheep of unknown breed, a black cow, and a cow with no type and a few black spots on their bodies opened their eyes wide, and looked at each other with extremely innocent eyes, just like Wu Qingchen.
