"Mr. Horn, look, this is what I mentioned, the style of Ancient Aier, where private spaces are small, and public spaces are large."
Vite pointed to a four-story stone house standing by the roadside, its roof already collapsed, exposing the moldy black wooden framework.
Horn pinched his nose and approached, a disgusting stench assailed his nostrils, as if pig dung, cow dung, and human waste had been mixed into a stew.
Most of the orange-red wall paint had peeled off, and it was unclear whether the sticks protruding from the windows were clothes racks or eaves.
This type of stone house is called Insula (island) Apartment, occupying about an acre, and when viewed from above, it resembles the structure of the character "回".
The roadside part of the first floor served as shops, while the rest were stables and public toilets, with the apartments for people on the second floor.
