Chapter 41: The Expression of Art
The house rented by He Mo is an old residence belonging to a local resident of this ancient town. Just from its appearance, one can feel the weight of history emanating from it.
The front door of this old house is a hefty wooden door. Although the carvings on it are somewhat mottled, one can still see the careful and meticulous craftsmanship of the past.
Once you pass through the door, there is a small and quiet courtyard. The courtyard is paved with bluestones, with small green grasses growing in the gaps of the stones at the edges. In the corners, a few pots of roses and azaleas are arranged, and the vibrant roses stand out in the quaint courtyard.
The rustic atmosphere exuding from this residence, inside and out, is perhaps one of the reasons He Mo is willing to rent it for a long time.
Beyond the courtyard, there is a two-story building. According to He Mo, the landlord lives on the first floor, and the room she rents is on the second floor.
The staircase leading to the second floor is a wooden one with a sense of age, and Li Jing can faintly hear creaking sounds as he steps on it.
The second-floor corridor is somewhat narrow, and the walls are slightly yellow, but they are very clean, giving a sense of simplicity and comfort.
He Mo’s guest room is the first room after leaving the staircase.
Since He Mo had left in a hurry earlier, she hadn’t closed the door. Li Jing pushed in without waiting for He Mo’s invitation.
"So cluttered?"
As soon as he entered the room, Li Jing expressed his surprise.
