Zhan Beihan threw the telescope back to her: "Take it with you first, and then check the situation."
"Okay." Xiao Lingyue had no choice but to temporarily put away the telescope.
The two of them didn't waste any more time and continued walking up the winding mountain village path.
The deeper the night gets, the louder the wind sounds in the mountains.
The strong wind whistled across the mountains, causing countless swaying sounds of grass and trees, which sounded far and near, sounding like ghosts crying from a distance.
After walking for about ten minutes, Xiao Lingyue suddenly stopped and moved her nose slightly: "Does it smell of alcohol?"
"It came from above." Zhan Beihan also smelled it.
He raised his head slightly. In the room not far above him, the doors and windows were closed. The firelight in the room came out through the window, and the shadows of people were vaguely visible.
The sound of people talking and laughing mixed in with the whistling wind, passing by their ears.
Xiao Lingyue raised her lips and smiled: "Finally we found someone!"
"Walk!"
Needless to say, the two of them immediately ran towards the room.
It was a large blue brick house that looked quite old. The exterior walls were charred black and there were still traces of being hacked by fire knives, but it did not affect the habitability.
There is also a yard behind the house, and there is a low shed behind it, with green smoke rising from the roof, and the smell of smoky food coming from the fire.
Xiao Lingyue saw that there were fire pots lit in front of and behind the house. The light was much brighter than other places, making it inconvenient to hide.
She pointed silently to the roof.
Zhan Beihan nodded slightly.
One after another, the two of them followed the shadow to the side of the house, stepped lightly on the wall, raised their spirits, jumped up, and landed lightly on the green tiles of the roof.
Looking at the tiles under her feet, Xiao Lingyue couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and said in a low voice: "You can actually afford the tiles, these guys are living a really good life!"
In ancient times, tiles were more expensive than bricks.
Only official kilns in towns and cities are qualified to burn tiles, and private people are not allowed to burn tiles themselves.
Therefore, if people want to buy tiles to build their houses, they have to go to the official kiln to buy them, and the price is quite expensive.
Because of this, those who could afford to live in "blue brick houses" were wealthy and well-to-do families in ancient times. The houses of poor people could not afford to build tiles, so most of them were roofed with oilcloth and broad-leafed plants stacked together.
, far less durable than tiles.
Not to mention red roof tiles, glazed tiles and the like that are higher-end than blue tiles, which only noble families and relatives of the emperor are eligible to use.
But now, in this kind of bandit village in the mountains, houses with blue bricks and tiles can be seen everywhere. Judging from the quality of the tiles, they seem to be quite new, not like old tiles.
Therefore, Xiao Lingyue couldn't help but sigh.
Zhan Beihan stepped on the tiles, making no sound as he walked, and quickly found a suitable position.
He leaned down slightly, carefully uncovered a piece of tile, and looked into the house through the gap.
Xiao Lingyue saw this and came over.
The two people were so close that their breathing could be heard clearly.
Zhan Beihan suddenly smelled a light medicinal aroma coming from her body.
It is the smell that has been soaked into the muscles and bones after being exposed to medicinal materials for a long time. It is cool and refreshing, and the smell makes people calm. It is not as cloying as the fragrance of ordinary women's powder.
The man glanced at her lightly and saw her eyes focused on looking down without saying anything. Popular ""
