Don't dare to take the avenue, can only go into the woods to walk the mountain road, all the way around looking, want to find a place with water to wash well, but nothing, no way, had to grit his teeth and continue to move forward, until noon, only to find that there is a river under the mountain is not too wide, the river water is crystal clear, from time to time on the water surface floats one or two bamboo rows, on the bamboo row stands a fisherman wearing a hat, the cormorants keep drilling in and out of the water.

On the bank of the river in the distance, bamboo buildings stand in the water, and on the other side of the bamboo building is the house of blue bricks and black tiles, which spreads all the way to the middle of the mountainside, which is particularly conspicuous in the dark green of the mountains, and the gray-black tiles emit a fish-scale-like light in the water vapor, and the smoke curls from afar, and the voices of people are bursting, like a small town.

I had the heart to jump into the river to wash up, but there were always boats coming and going, sparse and sparse, but there was also an endless stream, I was a thief with a weak heart, worried that I would be seen and reported to the official, but I didn't dare to go down after all.

Condescendingly observed for a long time, found that the mountain road under the foot leads directly to the town, and looked around to see that the town was lying on the mountainside, and several mountain roads were all centered on the town, scattered and spreading, as if it was this big spider-like town, the cobwebs weaved, full of hesitation for a long time, and finally sighed helplessly, and walked towards the town step by step.

Before I reached the town, I found that there were horse teams passing by from time to time on the mountain road, some up the mountain and some down the mountain, listening to the rattling of horse bells, guessing that it should be the team of the horse gang.

The dirt road under my feet slowly turned into a bluestone slab, at this time I mentioned twelve points of caution, and came to the outside of the town with trepidation, next to the big stone more than one person high, there were three big characters written "Baofu Town", standing next to the stone, stabilized my mind, and was about to step inside, when I suddenly heard the bell behind me, and a team of horses came, I quickly squatted down, pretending to rummage on the ground for something, and the dirty and long hair just covered my face, and took the opportunity to peek out from time to time.

The gang of about a dozen people, both men and women, led by more than twenty horses, covered their noses, frowned, and passed me with a look of disgust, and one of them, dressed in a rather heroic manner, stopped, took two copper plates from the belt around her waist, and threw them at my feet.

I was stunned at first, and then I was overjoyed, this is simply a blessing to lose my horse, fortunately I didn't wash it just now, so I got this excellent natural disguise, with this dress, I'm afraid no one wants to look at me.

Thinking of this, I hurriedly put on a stupid expression, raised my head and opened my big mouth to the girl, picked up the money, and put it in my arms, the girl saw me laughing, frightened, and led the horse into the town like a smoke.

I saw that she was far away, hurriedly walked to the side of the ditch, looked at the water shadow again, felt that something was still missing, so I searched around, and finally found an ash rod that had been peeled in the grass, took it in my hand and tried it, used it to make a crutch, unbuttoned the jacket, exposed my chest, pulled out the mud from the ditch, touched my chest, dressed it up, took it again, made a few stupid expressions, and after making sure that there was no flaw, I walked into Baofu Town step by step with the ash rod.

The town is really not big, but the main street is also bustling, very lively, at a glance, all the people who come and go are horse gangs, think about it, this town is deep in the hinterland of the mountains, the traffic arteries, to the west, to the south are inaccessible mountains and mountains, the goods come and go all by the horse gang, here is naturally the gathering place of the horse gang, on the street, pack horses are in groups, especially some nail palms, iron shops, but also surrounded by the water leakage.

The people of the horse gang are very righteous and rough, and everyone walks this line all the year round, and they are also very familiar with each other, and they speak a thick dialect on the street, and they greet each other deafeningly, as if the other party is deaf, and after greeting, they hook their shoulders and go into the tavern on the side, and the tavern is even more noisy, and the sound of punching orders comes and goes, and I just remembered that it was lunch time.

I wanted to go in, but when the man at the door saw me standing outside the door and looked in, he didn't say a word, turned around and went in, copied a stick from behind the door, covered his nose, raised the stick high, and waved it to drive me away.

Anyway, don't talk about others, even I lost my appetite for the smell on my body, so I had to keep my head down and continue walking along the stone road, this Baofu Town is indeed too small, and it has been worn out in less than a meal.

There are four or five mountain roads of different sizes in the town, pointing in different directions, I picked one of the paths overgrown with weeds, looked around to see no one, the soles of my feet were windy along the path and quickly walked into the dense bamboo forest, the green bamboos with thick bowls were close to each other, the bamboo forest was dense and impermeable, the more I walked, the more I felt suffocated and uncomfortable, the path was hidden in the grass, winding, until the depths of the bamboo forest, I don't know where it leads, and at this time the sky gradually darkened, it seems that there will be a heavy rain.

I quickened my speed to find a place to shelter from the wind and rain, so I kept looking into the bamboo forests on both sides as I walked, and as soon as the wind rose, I noticed that there was an abandoned bamboo house not far from the left front.

I didn't think much about it excitedly, and went straight to the bamboo house, about a dozen steps away, I stood firm, looked at the house in front of me, the wrist-thick green bamboo wall, covered with a thick thatched roof, probably too long no one to live in, one side of the thatched roof has collapsed, fortunately the other side can still block the wind and rain.

I just stood there suddenly, because at a glance, this house has an indescribable strangeness, but if you look closely, you also want a door and a window, and you can't tell where the specific awkwardness is.

At this time, the wind is getting stronger and stronger, carrying a strong smell of water, the bamboo is blown left and right, the sky is completely dark, like the polar night, flying sand and rocks are rampage in the forest, and there is a terrifying sound.

Seeing that the wind and rain were coming, he didn't dare to think about it, so he threw off his stride and ran towards the hut, and when he arrived at the door, he looked in vigilantly again, only to see that the collapsed roof covered half of the room, and the rest of the half was empty, without a piece of furniture.

The wind grew stronger, and the raindrops the size of copper coins drove me into the house, and the bamboo-paved floor creaked and creaked everywhere, and the door was smashed to the ground by the roof, and I took great effort to dig it out of the thatch, stand it up, and hold it up with the ash rod in my hand.

The moment the door was propped up, there was lightning and thunder outside, the wind was fierce, and the raindrops fell down, making a deafening sound, coupled with the explosion of thunder from time to time, which shook people's hearts and galls.

I sat in the innermost corner, looking at the house, to the half of the scale I am in, this house is not big, it can even be said to be very small, I am afraid it is equivalent to the size of the two-person dormitory of the base, in addition to the roof, from the ground to the wall are all made of bamboo, it should be made of local materials, just passed by Baofu Town, although there are also bamboo buildings, but they are all blue and gray tile roofs, whether it is the layout of the house or the decoration of the house, it is obviously the ingenuity of exhausting efforts, and the owner of this house is afraid that it is much poorer.

Thinking about the layout, I suddenly noticed the weirdness of this house, so clean and too regular!

It is understandable for people to go to empty buildings, but in any case, it is impossible to have no traces of life at all, even if it is just a house that has lived for a few years, the smoke, dirt and smell in it cannot be easily and completely erased, which is the so-called popularity.

And this house does not feel the slightest popularity, there is no stove, there is no trace of furniture, so there is only one possibility, this house has not lived at all, the water is clear, there is no fish, if it is a house that lives in people, it is really too clean.

Secondly, its layout is very problematic, there are no compartments, which is why the roof collapses, the whole house has no other walls except for the four walls, and the entire roof is only supported by the extremely thin main beam above my head and a few thinner bamboo rafters, and the collapse is inevitable.

Since even someone like me who has never built a house can see the crux of the problem, didn't the craftsman who built the house think about it? Then another bold guess crossed my mind, that the house might not have been used for people at all.

I looked up and looked around again, taking in everything in front of me, but the more I looked at it, the more I confirmed my assumption that the house had indeed been built too haphazardly, and every detail showed that the builder had no intention of moving in from the beginning.

Why are you building a house that doesn't live in people?

Although the materials are everywhere and are not valuable, it still takes a lot of manpower and time to build such a house, and it is used to store things in warehouses? It's far away from the town, not to mention the inconvenience, how many things can be put in such a small house? And things are placed here, aren't you afraid of losing them? Valuable people will definitely not put this, worthless things, is it necessary to build a room for it?

I can't think of a reason for breaking my head, listening to the wind and rain outside, I can't help but start yawning, I want to take the opportunity to take a nap, but the smell of the body is more intense by the fresh smell of the rain, get up and look outside, although the rain has not decreased, but the wind has been much smaller, the sky is gradually brighter, thinking that there is no one else here, simply open the door and walk into the rain.

In the pouring rain, I took off my clothes, threw them aside, picked a handful of fresh bamboo leaves, wrung them hard and carefully wiped my body, and the unique fragrance of bamboo completely washed away the sour smell of my body with the rain.

Wash it clean, go back to the room, dry your body, take out the clothes prepared by Zeng Rourou in advance from the backpack, and when you open the oilcloth, a razor suddenly falls out of it, I bend down and pick it up, it turns out to be an ivory handle razor, judging from the wear and tear, this knife is some years old, it should be Zeng Yongjiang's daily things, I have been in Tibet since I entered the present, I have been displaced, after several lives and deaths, two months, the beard and hair have grown together, and I am like a savage, Zeng Rourou must really not be able to stand it, so she stole Zeng Yongjiang's razor to me, I can't help but smile when I think about it, I'm really a willful girl.

I sharpened the knife on my belt, first shaved my hair, and then slowly shaved little by little, because there was no soap foam, not to mention the pain of shaving, and there were many holes.

Then the rain that flowed from the hole in the roof, washed his face, changed his clothes and shoes, and by this time the sky had sunk, and although the rain was a little lighter, it had no intention of stopping, and it seemed that he was going to spend the night in this strange house tonight.
