It's getting late, it's not dawn

Although Su Shangqiu felt uncomfortable, he didn't talk about this topic again, and instead said: "Forget it if you don't believe me, it will be dark in three minutes, so hurry up and find the path."

After Su Shangqiu said this, he ignored Big Nose and Fat Boy, spared the altar, and walked towards a path.

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

This building on stilts looks a bit small and exquisite, elegant and dignified, but it also has a sense of simplicity, and there is an aesthetic feeling in line with nature in the simplicity.

I am used to seeing the reinforced concrete cages in the city, and looking at this building with the original taste of nature, it is like seeing a memorable place, this place seems to exude the innocence of life, without a trace of hustle and bustle with glitz.

Immersed in the scene, it seems that the troubles of the world will disappear, and the troubled mind will be relieved.

Looking at the building in front of him, Su Shangqiu couldn't help thinking: If people are disgusted with the luxury and impetuosity of big cities, they should experience the wonderful state of "harmony between man and nature" presented by this kind of stilted building. Maybe after many years, finding such a place to live is also a beautiful thing for health preservation.

Su Shangqiu walked over, came to the bottom of the stilted building, and took a close look at the stilted building. Except for the roof tiles, the stilted building was all made of fir.

The pillars of the house are chiseled with big fir, and the pillars are connected with fir trees of different sizes, which are very strong even though no iron nails are used up and down.

There are no people on the bottom floor of the stilted building, but some farm tools and sundries are placed.

There are hanging buildings around the house. The corners of the eaves are upturned like spreading wings. The walls of the house are paved with cedar boards, and the inside and outside are painted with tung oil. It is really clean and bright.

After observing for a while, Su Shangqiu followed the stairs to the 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 house, only the clear and crisp birdsong from the canopy of the trees, and the birdsong that echoed the sound seemed to be specially designed to eliminate the embarrassment of no one answering for him.

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

He was still answered by the sound of birdsong.

It seemed that no one was at home in this family. He walked down the stairs depressedly, and continued walking along the path again. After a while, another building on stilts came into his sight.

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

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

The knock on the door was still there, the birdsong was still there, and the human voice still didn't get a response. Since no one was there, it was impossible for Su Shangqiu to break in like this. He had no choice but to walk down the stairs in disappointment and continue walking towards the path.

Not long after, another family appeared in front of his eyes, but the situation remained the same, and there was still no one in the house.

In this way, he continued to walk along the path, knocking on the door from house to house, but no one was at home.

In this way, he kept walking along the trail, and then saw another stilted building, which was already the No. 12 stilted building he had seen.

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

This made his somewhat boring heart look forward to it again. After searching for so long, there was not even a single ghost, let alone a human figure. It really made him a little tired of looking.

In such a big village, there is no one to be seen. Something is really wrong. Coupled with the dream he had, he always feels that this place is not suitable for staying for a long time.

But inexplicably, a colleague was missing, and he had to look for it again. After searching for so long, he couldn't even find him. He really felt very tired.

Looking at the large stilted building in front of him, he rekindled some hope, and walked towards the large stilted building.

Time is ticking and the sun is going west.

The sun slowly became slanted, not as enthusiastic as it was at noon, and began to soften, and the surrounding temperature dropped a lot.

Su Shangqiu walked through the beam of light passing through the leaves, stepped on the stairs, and came to the door of this large stilted building.

This stilted building is not only bigger, but also looks more upscale. The door in front of him is much more beautiful than the ones he saw before.

Various patterns and birds are carved on the door, and what is alive is a flower and bird painting full of ornamental taste.

Looking at the exquisite patterns on the door, Su Shangqiu really couldn't bear to knock on this beautiful door with too much force, for fear that it would be damaged.

He raised his right hand and tapped carefully, as if he was afraid of destroying the tranquility in 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, standing quietly in front of him, like a superior As cold and silent, he silently mocked the slightly tired him.

After waiting for a few minutes, Su Shangqiu felt even more tired, and some hopes that had just been raised 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 began to become hateful.

He knocked much harder and knocked a little longer, but the result still disappointed him.

He walked down the stairs silently, looked at the path under his feet, shook his head, and walked again helplessly, but after taking two steps, he stopped again because of the sound coming from behind.

"Young man, were you the one knocking on the door just now?"

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

The wooden door opened, and there was a person standing at the door. To be precise, it was an old man. This old man had white hair all over his head, and his beard was also white. But what was strange was that the old man's eyebrows were It is particularly black, just like the two vigorous ink marks left by calligraphers.

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

The old man stroked his beard, narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Su Shangqiu and asked with a smile, "What can I do for you?"

"It's like this. A friend of mine has disappeared here. I'm looking for him now. I want to ask if you've seen him."

The old man thought for a while and said: "It turns out that it is like this. I haven't seen any strangers enter our village except you. Let's see, you must have walked a long way. Why don't you come in and have a rest?" , let’s go into the house and talk about something.”

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

It has to be said that this building on stilts is really very luxurious. After Su Shangqiu entered it, he could feel a simple and grand atmosphere rushing towards his face.
