Luo Changfeng followed Ah Qing into the west gate of Huiji City, followed a long street, drove the sheep to the east end, and looked at the houses on both sides of the long street all the way.

In the Spring and Autumn period, most of the houses were built of civil engineering, and some were even only adobe houses, and pure wooden houses did not exist, but they were not simple and had their own characteristics.

After all, this is the capital of the Yue Kingdom, and it is impossible to be the scene of thatched houses everywhere, those civil structure houses, covering an extremely wide area, and the pedestal under the house is a terrace type, that is, a certain distance above the ground, and there are steps in front of the gate.

Such a house is usually the residence of the upper class, the layout is the front hall and the back room, there are rooms on the left and right, there are courtyards behind the hall and in front of the hall, there are walls in the room (through the wall with wood as the window is called the house), and there are walls outside the house.

There are two steps under the hall, the one in the east is called "the step", the one in the west is called the "bin step", when the guest enters the door, the host welcomes in, he walks up from the step, the guest walks up from the guest step, stands opposite each other in front of the door, gives way to each other, and there is a garden outside the house, and there are all kinds of entertainment pavilions.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, the Zhou etiquette was still followed, and the rituals were more rigorous and complicated than those of later generations.

The population density in this era is naturally not large, and the lively and bustling prosperity scenes of later generations cannot be seen for the time being.

There are only a few pedestrians on the streets, many of them are like Ah Qing, leading cattle and sheep to return home, and the streets are not paved with floor tiles, just relatively flat dirt soil.

Walking through the long street, Ah Qing took Luo Changfeng to the southeast, and slowly, the civil structure buildings could not be seen, on both sides of the road, there were adobe houses, but the area of each house was quite large.

When Luo Changfeng and A Qing drove the sheep to the mouth of an alley, they happened to see a woman in her thirties, with a silk hairpin cloth skirt and a beautiful face, turning out, with a hint of anxiety on her face.

When he saw Ah Qing, he seemed to be relieved, but when he saw Luo Changfeng beside Ah Qing, his brows couldn't help frowning slightly.

"Mom. The woman got out of the way and let the sheep in, and Ah Qing walked a few steps quickly to meet the woman.

Qingmu glanced at Ah Qing reproachfully and said, "Why did you come back so late?"

Ah Qing smiled wryly, but didn't speak, Luo Changfeng took the initiative to take a few steps forward, respectfully looked at Qing's mother deeply, and said: "I've seen Madame, I don't blame Ah Qing for this matter, I told her the story, and I forgot the time for a while." ”

Qingmu bowed her head slightly, and returned the salute, and then asked: "Who is the strong man, how can he ...... with Aqing?"

Luo Changfeng said seriously: "Mrs. Hui, my name is Changfeng, my parents died since I was a child, I was brought up by my teacher, and after my teacher went to the fairy, I raised my eyes without relatives and worries, so I wandered the world, and made a ranger from all over the world. ”

"A day ago, I went to the forest outside Huiji City, because I was extremely sleepy, I fell asleep in the forest, it was Ah Qing who fed me water and woke me up, so I returned with Ah Qing. ”

Qingmu listened to Luo Changfeng's life experience, and a touch of pity appeared on her face, but she was also a hard-working child, but Luo Changfeng was a stranger after all, and she still had a trace of vigilance in her heart, "I don't know what the strong man has planned?"

Before Luo Changfeng could reply, Ah Qing said crisply: "Mom, Changfeng said that he has been walking all over the world for many years and is a little tired, so he plans to settle down in Yue Guo and not leave!"

"Oh?" the green mother nodded noncommittally, but she didn't say anything, just thinking about something.

Seeing this, Luo Changfeng sighed helplessly in his heart, and said sincerely: "Madam, when Yu Chu arrived in the precious land, there was no tile to cover his body, and there was no food for his stomach. ”

"Tomorrow, I will go to the mountains and fields to cut down wood and make a house, and hunt beasts for food, and I will not teach my wife to be embarrassed. ”

"This ......" Qing's mother hesitated a little, Luo Changfeng was a stranger of unknown origin after all, only she and Aqing's mother and daughter were in the family, if Luo Changfeng had bad intentions, they would not be able to resist.

It's a pity that Ah Qing doesn't know her own strength, she only uses the bamboo stick in her hand, which is used to fight with the white ape, so naturally she didn't tell her mother, otherwise she would need to have these scruples.

"Mom......" Ah Qing hugged her mother's arm and shook it, and there was a coquettish meaning in her voice.

Luo Changfeng saw that Qingmu was embarrassed, and he could understand it in his heart, and sighed: "I'm sorry, I also know that this request is a bit embarrassing, madam, so Changfeng will leave." ”

After Luo Changfeng finished speaking, he bowed to Qing's mother again, and then turned to Ah Qing, his face softened a little, "Ah Qing, I'll go first, early tomorrow morning, I'll wait for you outside the city gate, accompany you to shepherd, and then tell you the story of King Wu's war." ”

After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave, with his skills, but he would not not be unable to eat even a meal, as for the place to live, he could find a random place to meditate, and he could cope with it all night.

"But...... But where are you going to eat?" Ah Qing stopped Luo Changfeng anxiously, and begged his mother: "Mom, Changfeng is a good person and won't harm us, you let him go to my house!"

In fact, when she saw Luo Changfeng looking at Ah Qing's soft gaze, Qingmu was already soft-hearted, and her vigilance was much lighter.

A person can fake anything, but this look can't be faked, Luo Changfeng is introverted, his expression is also a little cold, and his mood has few ups and downs when he speaks.

It was precisely because of Luo Changfeng's temperament that she made Qingmu wary at first, but after saying a few more words, she let down her guard.

A person with malicious intentions will try his best to make himself look harmless, hide his malice deeply, and never behave so unapproachable.

In addition, his nature is so cold and indifferent, but when he looks at Ah Qing, he becomes soft and gentle, where is this malice?

Therefore, Qingmu finally relented and said, "The strong man stays, since this is the case, you can come with us!"

"Thank you, Mom. Ah Qing jumped happily, came over and grabbed Luo Changfeng's arm, and said, "Let's go, Changfeng, mom has allowed you to go to our house." ”

Luo Changfeng gratefully saluted Qingmu and said, "Thank you, madam." ”

Qingmu looked at A-Qing's excited appearance, showed a helpless and kind smile, shook her head slightly, turned around and entered the alley, and led the way in front.

When they arrived here, the sheep were already familiar with the way, and they returned home on their own, and when Luo Changfeng and them arrived, the sheep had already returned to the circle.

Ah Qing's home is located in the southeast of Huiji City, consisting of three adobe houses and a slightly larger thatched hut, behind which there is also a straw shed sheepfold, next to which is a small thatched house.

There is a pile of firewood in the grass shed, there are two "pottery mustaches", there are two "kettle retorts" on the pottery house, and there is a small stone mill next to it, it seems that this grass hut is the kitchen where cooking and cooking on weekdays, and the small thatched house is the toilet, which is the so-called thatched house.

The houses here are not dense, and the neighbors of Aqing's family are at least five or six zhang apart, although the houses look a little simple, but the area of each family is not small.

The meal had already been prepared, just waiting for Ah Qing to come back to eat, but there was one more Luo Changfeng, and the meal was obviously not enough, so Qing's mother asked Ah Qing and Luo Changfeng to eat first, and then she went to cook.

The meal is very simple, two bowls of corn rice, a bowl of softly boiled leeks, no way, that's all there is to this era.

Millet is millet, which is the staple food in spring and autumn, and soybean is soybean, and its status in grain is also higher than in the past, one of the reasons for this is the invention of stone milling, which changed the way soybeans are eaten.

During the Shang and Zhou periods, soybeans were directly boiled into soybean rice to eat, and soybeans were difficult to cook, and it was extremely inconvenient to eat.

At the same time, soybean is a barren crop, green and yellow can be relieved of hunger, in addition, the roots of soybeans are rich in rhizobia, can fertilize the field, is conducive to the growth of crops, so the planting of soybeans is becoming more and more extensive.

The common people in this era are very hard, most of the ordinary people can't afford to eat meat dishes, and there are only a few vegetarian dishes.

If you want to taste something fresh on vegetables, you must rely on the gift of nature, that is, a variety of wild vegetables, and the leeks made by Qingmu are naturally wild.

Luo Changfeng ate his first dinner in this era, although it was not delicious and he was not full, but he sat side by side with A Qing on the ground, holding a pottery bowl and grilled rice, Luo Changfeng was inexplicably happy in his heart.
