Additionally, the floor was filthy too, and there was a stench outside the yard. They even stepped in chicken feces when they entered earlier. Ugh... utterly disgusting.
From here in the hall, one could see the stove, a big earthen one, with its chamber blackened, and below it was piled some straw and dry firewood, which looked extremely messy.
I heard that there were black mesh mosquito nets here, and even the beds were surrounded by wood panels and painted with things, making them look downright eerie and terrible.
That's why they despised the countryside.
If they had to stay here, they would surely break down.
So, it would be great if they could finish their business and rush back today.
Unfortunately, it seemed impossible to finish today since they hadn't even seen the people yet.
