When you settle down in Jianni City, you must find an opportunity to visit the temple of Yongzhong Ben Cult. If you can have a good exchange with the masters in the temple, after understanding the current status and culture of Yongzhong Ben Cult, you can record some of the important things into documents and spread them to later generations. This is also a great thing for Wu Liang.

But this is a later story.

The most important thing now is to lead the soldiers to the residence arranged by Apuqiu, teach everyone to have a good meal, and then have a comfortable rest for two days, and wash away physical and mental fatigue as soon as possible.

Only those who really hike through the White Dragon Pile can experience how difficult it is.

Wu Liangzhen was worried that his soldiers who had been living in the Central Plains would not be able to adapt to the harsh environment here and accidentally suffered from the hot nest disease that was prevalent in the northwest region. As its name suggests, one disease could cause a nest of people to be infected. If it is not handled well, it is very likely that they will be taken away in one go.

Fortunately, no similar symptoms have occurred in the Jae-man army so far.

Now that we have arrived at Jianni City, the environment is much better than that of Bailongdui, and Wu Liang's heart was finally relieved.

Between talking.

Under the leadership of Apuqiu, Wu Liang and others had arrived at a courtyard located in the north of the city.

Apuqiu is a very reliable person. After learning about the number of people from the Jae Renjun on this trip through Yang Wanli, he specially selected a relatively large courtyard as a place to settle for them.

The courtyard wall of this courtyard is like the wall of a mud city, and is also built with rammed earth layers and adobe bricks with red willow branches.

There is no complex structure of a courtyard in the yard, it is just a square word "mouth".

The north, west and east of the character "口" are all houses built using adobe.

The roofs of these houses are flat roofs.

Thicker red willow trees are arranged in a finer arrangement to create a roof structure, then face the adobe on these red willow trees, and fill the gaps between the adobes with mud, so that it is completed.

Such a roof construction method is almost impossible to see in the Central Plains.

Because it is not waterproof at all, once it rains, the water accumulation on the roof cannot be quickly removed, and the adobe will continue to absorb water and become extremely heavy, which will easily collapse.

But it is extremely common and most practical in the city of Jianni.

Because there is almost no rain here all year round, there is basically no need to consider waterproofing and drainage issues. Instead, the most important things to be guarded against are strong winds, high temperatures and severe colds.

It is difficult to lift such a thick roof off with strong winds. Even if some places are eroded by wind and sand, it can be easily repaired by bringing some mud on it.

At the same time, this thick roof can also act as heat insulation and insulation.

As we all know, the thermal conductivity of the soil is actually relatively poor. Even if such a roof is sunburned by the scorching sun for a whole day, there will not be too much heat to enter the house.

And when the heat is finally about to heat up the entire roof, I'm sorry, the sun is going to set.

The same is true in winter, and the indoor temperature will not be lost quickly.

besides.

The structure inside the house is also very distinctive.

Unlike the Central Plains, the houses here are not built directly on the ground, but are first dug downwards to a depth of more than one meter before building houses in this pit more than meter deep.

That is to say.

Half the houses here are built underground and half on the ground. You have to go down several steps when you enter the house.

In this way, there are much fewer house structures left on the ground, and this structure can also resist the erosion of wind and sand. After all, the part that bears wind has become much smaller.

At the same time, this kind of construction method is also characterized by warm winter and cool summer.

This fully reflects the unique wisdom of local residents in fighting wind, sand, scorching heat and severe cold.

...

When Wu Liang and others came to this courtyard, Apuqiu's servants had already cleaned up the place.

After a brief visit with Wu Liang, Apuqiu enthusiastically taught the servants to help the soldiers carry the supplies on the carriage and settle them down happily.

Wu Liang also did not have the kindness to reject Apuqiu.

The supplies he carried were not contraband or dangerous goods. Even if there were, it was impossible for people at this time to see them, so naturally there was no need to worry about any accidents.

As for the female corpse that was previously found in the mysterious little lake.

He had long been wrapped by Wu Liang using three layers of amaburi, and some wooden boards were added to prevent collisions. From the outside, it was basically impossible to tell that it was a corpse. Moreover, there were so many people in the Jade Army that he would not teach Apuqiu's servants to come into contact with the female corpse.

As for Fang Qiong who was unconscious.

Wu Liang did not mean to avoid Apuqiu.

According to Fang Qiong's previous statement, it was many years ago that she was a slave in Jiannicheng, and it was also a long time ago that she killed her master by mistake. After so many years, she was probably the victim's family. She probably forgot Fang Qiong's appearance. How could outsiders remember her who had never come back after escaping?

In addition, Apuqiu is definitely not the victim.

On the way here just now, Wu Liang had already learned about the situation at Apuqiu's family in his conversation. He had never bought slaves in his family, and those servants were hired for money. He came to Jiannicheng alone. Now everything is from scratch. The rich generation with standard standards. If a master in his family was killed by a slave by mistake, the dead will be him...

so.

Not only did Wu Liang not want to avoid Apuqiu, he also wanted to ask Apuqiu to help check Fang Qiong's situation.

He specializes in his profession, and Apuqiu is still a doctor after all, and he can be favored by the royal family of Shanshan. He must have some real talents and knowledge. Perhaps he can see something from Fang Qiong that Wu Liang and others cannot see, thus providing some inspiration to Wu Liang.

In this way, when the soldiers of the Zeren put Fang Qiong on a wooden board and lifted it out of the carriage in front of Apuqiu.

As expected, Apuqiu immediately frowned and turned around and said to Wu Liang: "This... Could it be that someone in your team was accidentally injured or had a serious illness on the way?"

"When talking about this, I was about to ask Mr. Apuchu."

Wu Liang bowed and said, "It's true that this person has not been hurt, nor has he obviously contracted some kind of evil disease. He just fainted for some reason. We still couldn't wake him up with all our skills. I wonder if there is any wonderful method that can help us awaken this person."

"I see."

Apuqiu's brows frowned even more, and a curious look appeared in his eyes. "But some serious diseases do not show appearances, or the symptoms are not on the surface, but between the internal organs. This is the most difficult disease in the world. If you allow it, why not teach me to check it first?"

"Why don't you agree? Sir!"

Wu Liang was unable to ask for it, so he immediately ordered the soldiers of the Clan Army to carry Fang Qiong into a room, and then followed Apuqiu into it.

In this way, the soldiers were careful to place Fang Qiong flat on the couch.

Apuqiu had already taken out a handkerchief from his arms to cover his mouth and nose, and slowly came to Fang Qiong, but he did not immediately get close to him. Instead, he poked his neck and looked at Fang Qiong's face at about one meter away.

The details of these moves fully reflect Apuqiu's professionalism.

Covering your mouth and nose is like wearing a mask.

Keeping a distance before confirming the disease is to avoid the spread of certain infectious diseases as much as possible, be responsible to patients and yourself.

All the doctors who know how to pay attention to these details in this era are doctors with extremely rich clinical experience. Just a few actions have made Wu Liang look at Apuqiu with admiration.

But the next second.

"well?!"

But Apuqiu suddenly screamed.

At the same time, his body unconsciously retreated three steps backwards, and his pale face suddenly looked shocked, and even his pupils were shrinking slightly.

"Mr. Apuchu, what's wrong with you?"

Wu Liang was also shocked and quickly supported Apuqiu.

Apuqiu's performance was far beyond Wu Liang's expectations. Not to mention that he was almost impossible to have anything to do with Fang Qiong, even if he had really had something to do with Fang Qiong and recognized Fang Qiong at a glance, it shouldn't have been like this.

After all, Fang Qiong was just a slave back then.

Even if he killed his master by mistake, he was still just a weak woman with no intimidation.

But Apuqiu's expression at this moment was like seeing the most terrifying and terrifying evil spirit in the world. This was extremely unusual no matter how you look at it.

"Uh... 公, 公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公

Hearing Wu Liang's voice, Apuqiu finally realized his disobedience, but when he turned around, his face still looked shocked. He swallowed his saliva and asked irresponsibly, "Your Excellency, if you shouldn't ask, why did this woman appear in your caravan, and what is your relationship with her?"

"It's nothing special."

Wu Liang looked at his nose and his heart, and said with a lie without changing his face, "A few days ago, my caravan passed by Liangzhou. Because I was not familiar with the place I had just arrived in the place of life, I arrived at Jianni City successfully in order to cross the Bailongdui, so I thought of hiring an experienced person as a guide to guide us. As a result, I happened to meet this woman. She claimed that she was very familiar with Bailongdui and Shanshan Kingdom, and only had to provide food and accommodation for me to use. So after a simple inquiry, I asked her to enter the caravan with her. Who thought that she had fainted inexplicably and almost made us lost in the Bailongdui. Although this man fainted, I could not throw her into the Bailongdui without caring, so I took her all the way... Mr. Apuqiu, look at your appearance, does this woman have any unknown secrets?"

"Witch!"

After hearing Wu Liang's words, Apuqiu looked a little relieved, but his expression was still very strange. "Your Excellency doesn't know that she is the witch who shocked the entire Jianni City ten years ago!"

"The witch who shocked the entire Jianni City?"

Wu Liang was stunned.

Could it be that the experiences Fang Qiong told him about Shanshan Kingdom were all lies?

After all, if it was just a slave who accidentally killed his master and escaped, although this would still spread in Jianni City, it should not be enough to "shock the entire Jianni City".

Also...the witch?

Wu Liang was not surprised to hear this title from Apuqiu.

Later generations believed that the term "witch" was a unique product of medieval European religions, and used it specifically to refer to women with supernatural abilities and treat them as heresy judgments.

But in fact, as early as this time, there were already detailed annotations of "witches".

Buddhism divides "demons" into three types, namely: top-grade demon king, middle-grade demon citizen and low-grade witch.

The witch has the lowest status among demons.

The way they maintain magic is to absorb the spirit of men, so they often appear in the appearance of human women to tempt men to depravity and cause death. They are both evil and lewd monsters.
