They met back up with the others. Nobody had given them a place to stay, so they asked around to see if there was an inn. There wasn’t. This village was so small and nobody ever came here except a few merchants once or twice a year that they didn’t have a single inn. What they did have was a small communal house used for merchants when they arrived. The villagers said they could use it.
The house was a modest yet functional structure, reflecting the simplicity and practicality of rural life. It was made primarily from locally sourced materials. Wu Jian saw a combination of bamboo, wood, and thatch being used. It all blended seamlessly with the surrounding natural environment and its design was characterized by its efficiency, with a focus on maximizing airflow and natural light while still providing shelter from the elements.
