Although Su Shangqiu felt uncomfortable in his heart, he didn't say anything about this topic anymore, and instead said: "If you don't believe it, it's going to be dark for three more hours, so let's hurry up and find a path." ”

After Su Shangqiu said this, he ignored the big nose and the fat boy, spared the altar, and walked towards a small path.

There is a house not far from the path, it is a stilted building, the stilted building is not big, not very high, only two floors.

This stilted building looks a little small and exquisite, delicate and dignified, but it has a sense of simplicity, and it presents a sense of beauty that fits nature.

Accustomed to seeing the reinforced concrete cage in the city, and then looking at the original building with the original flavor of nature, it is like seeing a forgettable place, this place seems to exude the purity of life, without a trace of hustle and bustle.

Immersive, as if the troubles of the world will disappear, and the sleepy mind will be relieved.

Su Shangqiu looked at the building in front of him and couldn't help thinking: If people are disgusted with the luxury and impetuousness of big cities, they should personally experience the wonderful realm of "harmony between nature and man" presented by this kind of stilted building.

Su Shangqiu walked over, came to the bottom of the stilted building, and observed the stilted building up close, except for the roof tiles, the stilted building is all made of cedar wood up and down.

The pillars of the roof are chiseled with large cedar wood, and the columns are connected with cedar trees of different sizes diagonally through straight sleeves, although the top and bottom are not used an iron nail.

The ground floor of the stilted building is not occupied by people, but some farm tools and sundries are placed.

There are hanging towers around the house, the eaves are turned up like spreading wings, the four walls of the house are slotted and inlaid with cedar boards, and the inside and outside are coated with tung oil, which is really clean and bright.

Su Shangqiu observed for a while, then walked down the stairs to the upper floor, and when he came to the door, he raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Is anyone home?"

There was silence in the room, except for the crisp birdsong from the canopy, as if it was a deliberate attempt to remove the embarrassment of no one answering.

Su Shangqiu raised his hand again, knocked on the tightly locked wooden door again, raised his voice, and asked again, "Is anyone there?" ”

He was still echoed by the sound of birdsong.

It seemed that there should be no one in the family at home, so he walked down the stairs depressedly and continued along the path again, and after a while, another stilted building came into his field of vision.

He walked quickly, found a staircase again, went up, came to the door of the stilted building, and knocked on it.

"Excuse me, excuse me, is anyone home?"

The knock on the door was still there, the birdsong was still the same, and the human voice was still not answered, since no one was there, Su Shangqiu couldn't just break into the door like this, so he had to walk down the stairs in disappointment and continue to walk towards the path.

It didn't take long for another family to appear in front of him, but the situation was still the same, and there was still no one in the house.

So he walked down the path again, knocking room after room, but no one was there.

So he walked along the path and walked all the way, and then he saw another stilted building, which was already the twelfth stilted building he had seen.

What caught his eye was that this stilted building was not very similar to the stilted buildings he had seen before, this stilted building was much larger than the ones he had seen before, and it was not of the same type.

This made his somewhat boring heart become a little looking forward to it, after looking for so long, let alone a figure, there was no ghost, which really made him a little bored of looking for it.

In such a big village, there was not a single person missing, there was really something wrong, and with the dream he had, he always felt that this place was not suitable for staying for a long time.

But inexplicably missing a colleague, he had to look for it, and after looking for so long but not even a figure, he really felt very tired.

Looking at the large stilted building in front of him, he ignited some hope again, and walked towards the large stilted building with his feet.

Time is ticking and the sun is moving west.

The sun slowly became more slanting, less enthusiastic than at noon, and began to soften, and the temperature around it dropped considerably.

Su Shangqiu walked through the beams of light through the leaves, stepped up the stairs, and came to the door of the large stilted building.

Not only was the stilted building huge, but it also looked more upscale, and the door in front of him was much better than the ones he had seen before.

The door is carved with various patterns and birds, and it is a living painting of flowers and birds full of ornamental taste.

Looking at the exquisite pattern on the door, Su Shangqiu really couldn't bear to use too much force to knock on this beautiful door, for fear of breaking it.

He raised his right hand and tapped it cautiously, as if he were afraid of disturbing the tranquility of the painting.

After knocking on the door, he stood quietly in front of the door and waited for a few minutes, but the wooden door was not as he expected, it was still tightly closed, and stood quietly in front of him, as cold as a superior person, silently mocking him who was slightly tired.

After waiting for a few minutes, Su Shangqiu felt even more tired, and some of the hopes that had just risen disappeared without a trace in an instant, looking at the exquisite patterns on the door, it seemed that they were no longer so exquisite, and they began to become hateful.

He knocked on the door much harder, and knocked for a while, but the result was still disappointing.

He walked down the stairs in silence, looked at the path at his feet, shook his head, and reluctantly took another step, but after two steps he stopped again because there was a sound behind him.

"Young man, did you knock on the door just now?"

Su Shangqiu turned his head happily and looked towards the door on the upper floor.

The wooden door opened, and there was a man standing at the door, to be exact, an old man, with a full head of white hair and a white beard, but what was more peculiar was that the old man's eyebrows were particularly black, like two strong ink blots left by calligraphers.

Listening to the old man's question, Su Shangqiu immediately replied: Yes, uncle, I knocked on the door. ”

The old man stroked his beard, his eyes narrowed slightly, looked at Su Shangqiu and asked with a smile, "Is there anything you want me to do?" ”

"That's right, I have a friend who has disappeared here, and I'm looking for him right now, and I want to ask if you've seen him."

The old man thought for a moment and said, "I see, I haven't seen any strangers enter our village except you, so you must have walked a long way, why don't you come in and rest for a while, and talk about something in the house." ”

Su Shangqiu looked at the old man's kind face, it happened that he was also very tired, he thought for a while and then walked up the stairs and followed the old man into the house.

I have to say that this stilted building is really very luxurious, and after Su Shangqiu enters it, he can feel a simple and grand atmosphere.
