404 Barren
Hou Yong spoke: "Miss, this can't be done, there is no way to build a house in the east." ”
"Why?" Jiang Yunzhao was stunned for a moment and asked intuitively.
The area to the east is still quite large, why can't you build a house? In addition, the cliff face on the east side is relatively low, so it is easier to dig it up.
However, if you really have to dig the cliff face from the east, you probably can't live in this house, right?
"Miss, look, there's a cave to the east." Hou Yong pointed towards the east wall.
Jiang Yunzhao realized that there were indeed several doors on the dark cliff face.
Hou Yong found Jiang Yunzhao's dazedness, so he walked over with a smile and pushed open one of the doors and said, "Miss, this kind of house is dug out of the cliff face, no wood is used, and it is very suitable for people to live in it, which is warm in winter and cool in summer." ”
"Dig a cave in the mountains to live in? Aren't you afraid that the mountain will collapse and hit people? Jiang Yunzhao was stunned for a moment, and then asked a little stupidly.
She had never seen a person digging a hole directly in the mountain, could she really live? What if the mountain collapses in the middle of the night?
"It doesn't matter, the people around Lancheng probably live like this, and their ancestors have lived for so many years, and nothing has happened." Hou Yong said with a smile.
Hou Yong's expression was very relaxed, but Jiang Yunzhao was not so relaxed, this cave, oh, the cave looks dark, and it looks unfathomable, if you go in, you really won't be smashed in it by the collapse of the mountain?
Jiang Yunzhao looked at the side of the door, but still didn't dare to enter, but just asked: "Are you sure that such a cave, oh, can the cave really live in people?" ”
Hou Yong listened to Jiang Yunzhao's words, and he couldn't cry or laugh, and said: "Miss, this is not a cave, it's a cave, and in many places in the northwest, people don't have money to build a house and live in a cave, which is dug by themselves, and it is stronger than that wall." ”
Hou Yong discovered for the first time that he didn't know everything, originally she thought that Miss was omnipotent, but now she knows that Miss is also a human being, and there is always something she doesn't know.
Jiang Yunzhao said in a rare waywardness: "I don't dare to go in, I don't dare to live in this house." ”
Hou Yong grinned and said, "Miss, you really don't live in the cave?" If you don't stay, our brother will. ”
How good the cave is, warm in winter and cool in summer, it is much better than living in a house, and Miss is really blessed not to enjoy it.
"Miss, you still live in a cave, it's not hot in summer, if you live in a house, you can't stand the heat in summer." Chu Jianming said very sincerely.
Jiang Yunzhao insisted on shaking his head, refusing to live or die in the cave, for Jiang Yunzhao, this cave is indeed no different from a cave.
Seeing that Jiang Yunzhao couldn't be persuaded by it, Chu Jianming could only not persuade him. What he thought in his heart was that if it was really too hot, the young lady would definitely have to go back to the big mansion in Lancheng, could she still live here forever?
Jiang Yunzhao left from the door of the cave, turned around and walked towards the main room.
Walking into the house, a small house, no more than ten feet deep and no more than twenty feet wide, much smaller than the house she had lived in before, it seemed very cramped, and there was no feeling of spaciousness at all.
Jiang Yunzhao was a little stunned, originally thinking that the northwest was rough, the house in the northwest should be very rough, even if it was a farmhouse, it should be very broad, but now what he saw was not the case at all.
There is a square table on the front of the door, on which there are simple items such as tea bowls, and there is a painting hanging on the wall against the table, which is the pattern of the God of Wealth sending joy, and there is a couplet on both sides, which reads: diligence is a cash cow, and thrift is a cornucopia.
It doesn't seem to be a famous work, but it's also, if a pair of Mi Fu's works are hung out in the farmhouse, it's not scary?
The place by the window is a kang, and there is a cabinet on the head of the kang, which seems to be used for clothes and miscellaneous items. Looking at the material of the wood, it is not good, it should be ordinary miscellaneous wood, which looks simple and old, and I think these are all things left by the previous owner.
"Miss, our futon is a little unsuitable." Looking at such a kang, Conglin said with some confusion.
The bedding they brought was all used on the bed, but this kang is so big, the bedding they brought is not enough, they can't spread half of it, and the remaining half is so exposed, right? So how do you live in people?
Jiang Yunzhao listened to what Lin said, and then he thought that this was indeed the case, isn't it not suitable? But you can't just stop laying the kang because it's not suitable, right?
"Miss, otherwise, let's eat something and hurry back, and then bring more things and pack up before we come over." Cong Jue suggested.
It's not interesting for Miss Left and Right to live here now, so it's better to go back for a while and not have to suffer.
"No, go back and take some things to other people's houses next door to see, how are people's kang laid." After thinking about it, Jiang Yunzhao shook his head resolutely and said.
Not to mention that the bumps along the way are so bad, her waist is about to break, let's just say that she has arrived here, can she still think about enjoying happiness?
Although no one forced her to suffer here, it was really not interesting to live alone in Lancheng, so it was better to stay here.
"Miss, it's better to go back first, you can't do anything if you stay here, now the land on Zhuangzi has been shared, we don't have our own land, and even if we have our own land, we can't plant it now, the land in the mountains around Lancheng is planted once a year." Chu Jianming also persuaded.
Jiang Yunzhao said with a smile: "I don't plan to farm here, I just want to take a look first and see if there is anything that can be planted here." ”
"Wheat, millet and millet are grown here, and some other beans can be grown, but the yield is very low. If the rain is better, the yield can feed the family, but if there is no rain, it will be really sinful. Hou Yong said with a frown.
The common people here live a hard life, and it is common for them not to even have enough to eat, and they don't know when they will be able to eat enough.
Jiang Yunzhao saw that the people here were bitter, but he never thought that they would be so bitter.
"Isn't it raining a lot this year?" Jiang Yunzhao looked at the ground around him, which had dried up to the point of whiteness, and asked in a low voice.
"Miss, what you said is that this year was in February, there was a rain, and I thought it was good, the crops came out, but who knows that it has been so long, and it has never been a good time, if it goes on like this, these crops will dry up, and I don't know how many people will have no way to live." Chu Jianming sighed and spoke.
