Chapter 007: Messy Room
Messy room
Although it was a long time on the road, it was clear that nothing had happened all the way.
The Sick State covers an area of thousands of miles, but the main city, which is different from the Sick State City of the outer cities, is smaller, seven hundred miles in size. Just like a "mouth" shape surrounded by the city wall, three sides are four zhang thick city walls, although the west side of the sick state city does not have a city wall as a support, thinking that the unbreakable beacon fire mountain is worth people's hearts.
Since ancient times, there has only been one city gate in the east gate. I thought that the general trend of the beacon mountains was like a solid arm, holding the protector of the sick state. Fifty years ago, the landform changed and the city was divided into five parts, but the walls on three sides were not damaged as if they were blessed by the gods. The beacon fire mountain is also affected by the landform, and instead of falling, it appears more upright and unattainable. Even more unattainable.
From the founding of the city to fifty years ago, the entry and exit of the citizens of the city completely depended on the opening and closing of the two tall gates in the east. But the opening of each gate required more than a hundred strong laborers. The commander ordered a small gate to pass through one or two ox carts to the south of the gate. Exclusively for people to travel.
But even that little door doesn't open often. Because the outside of the sick state city is even more dangerous, and it is full of danger. In principle, the townspeople were free to enter and exit, but the door was only opened for hunting parties who did not have two times.
The huge gates are only opened and closed twice a year, once in winter and spring, and once in summer and autumn. Only on these two days can the 20,000 soldiers and civilians in the city move freely around the outside of the city, and the whole process is guarded by the commander-in-chief's soldiers.
The streets and houses in the city are all old from 100 years ago, mostly wood and stone structures, simple and simple. No overly fancy decorations.
The floor of the street is paved with bluestone bricks, and there are no weeds growing in the gaps between the stone bricks and stone bricks. That's because the places where weeds want to grow are already occupied by dark green fluffy moss, even in the corners. This is the characteristic of the southeast city, which is cold and damp all year round, and this feeling will be even stronger in winter. Even without the snow and ice in winter, this cold feeling can reach through the thick fur coat into the cracks of people's bones.
But now it's early summer, and this icy chill makes people feel a little comfortable.
As soon as he opened the door, he hurriedly covered his mouth and nose, and sure enough, it was the same as in previous years. But everything made of wood grows clumps of small white mushrooms or fungus, or long mycelium. Rushing into the nostrils is the smell of decay and desolation of the primeval forest.
The house in the southeast city is like the house in the northwest city. The door opens to the south, facing the tiled house of the street, and the outhouse is spacious and bright as a medicine house. Walking north, after a leather curtain, you can see a courtyard, with houses on three sides, like a courtyard house in Beijing.
Bu Yu broke up with Pu Cao, and when she entered the door, her father and brother had already arrived a day before her. A shop banner hanging outside has been replaced by a new one, a red square hanging diagonally, on which is painted a black grass, which seems to be full of round fruits, and a small figure seems to be drawn under the grass. It looks like it's very serious but it's not good-looking, and he smiled when he saw it, and shook his head.
In previous years, she talked about this kind of ginseng grass, maybe my father was in a hurry, so he asked his younger brother to draw it. I didn't say anything, and I didn't mean to take it off and redraw it. Because there are less than 10% of the literate people in this sick state city, the people who can read and hyphenate are even rarer than the women here.
Moreover, the people here are not bad, and they rarely get sick, but if they do get sick, they are all serious diseases, or patients who have been bitten and poisoned by wild beasts sent by the hunting team.
Rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the water to eat the water. People here can more or less simply recognize some herbs and know what the effects are, such as drinking pear tea with cough and drinking ginger soup with cold chewing chili peppers...... That's why I don't usually come here. Unless there is a lack of these things in the house, I come here to find Uncle Baicao.
Bang Bang~~ Without saying a word, he high-fived twice as soon as he entered the door.
Baicao turned around, "Girl, you clean up your own house, and the beds are moldy." ”
Bu Si glanced at the small medicine hoppers in the room and the piled up medicine boxes. "Dad, I'll help you pack up these pills for you first, right?" After speaking, he rolled up his sleeves, revealing his thin and white arms like lotus roots.
"I'll just do it with your brother, and by the way, you can send her the jade pendant of Pucao in a while. ”
"Jade pendant?oh~~ Okay!" Speaking of jade pendant, the first thing that came to mind for the people in the entire sick state city was the jade pendant hanging from Pu Cao's neck. Although jade is not uncommon here, the most spiritual and special is the azure jade pendant of Pucao, because there is a god living in it.
After all, it's the convenience of the girl's house.,Weekdays are often cleaned.,Although it's been half a year since the last cleaning.,But there's no one living in this half a year after all.。
But without saying a word, the branches on the door of the house, as soon as you enter the house, the dust marks in the messy room are spotless in some places, such as beds and chairs, and in other places there is a thick layer such as on the beams in the corners. When she left, she remembered that everything was neat and orderly. But now the room was in a mess, and the benches that had been placed under the tables were now pulled out, and the tea bowls, which had been detached for fear of falling dust, were now open upwards, but there was no dust in them.
Every year. Someone may have lived in her house when the family moved to Northwest City. She also frowned, and then carefully cleaned up her house.
The people who live there still have a conscience, and they are silent and relieved to think about it, because there is a peach blossom in the teapot on the table, which is delicate, although there is nothing to remember, but now it is also the season when the peach blossoms are in full bloom, and the lilac shy petals, the yellow and tender stamens, are inserted in the tea bottle, and there is still a bit of spring, which seems to be newly picked.
I remember that when she went to the Northwest City Medicine House, there was a plum blossom on the table, and there was snow on it.
Whether it is plum blossoms or peach blossoms, it is extremely rare in the city of Sick State.
The people in the sick state are not as beautiful as everybody, nor are they pampered. He is also a free person who can run a house, and his room is also very neat.
"Brother, I'm going to look for Pucao, do you want to come with me? ”
"I can't guess. I'm going to help my dad dry the herbs. ”
"Well, then I'll go!" Bu Yu took the peach blossom in his hand and walked towards the Witch Temple in the easternmost part of Dongcheng.
The Medicine House and the Witch Temple are both unknown to the east of the southeast city. The medicine house was located in the east near the city gate so that it was convenient for wounded hunters to see the wounds, and the witch temple was on the east side because it was in the east from the time the city was built.
