"Why did I find that all these houses are two-story?"
Bai Xiao also didn't understand why, despite not being wealthy, every household here had two-story wooden or bamboo houses.
Though they were dilapidated, they were still two-story.
Xiaoyu laughed, "This is our local tradition, and these houses are called stilt houses.
Don't be fooled by the two stories. The first floor is never used for living; it's for livestock. The second floor is where people live. Because of the damp climate here, these houses are better ventilated and get more sunlight. Otherwise, people living here would get moldy."
Only then did Bai Xiao realize that this unique house structure was due to the geographical and climatic conditions here.
