When I lived in the village before, I had discovered early on that nearly every family had a cellar. The cellars of Kaoshan Village were mainly for storing food, but the cellars in the desert served not only as storage for food and other essential supplies but also as a haven constructed for disaster.
For instance, during sandstorms or tornadoes, when such natural disasters struck, living on the surface was very unsafe. But if one hid underground and waited for the storm to subside before emerging, not only was their personal safety ensured to a certain extent, but it was also possible to prevent financial loss to one's home.
Over time, this practice evolved into a fascinating phenomenon.
Like the place where Liu Yi lived.
The houses built upon the desert might have collapsed numerous times, and after each collapse, they would be rebuilt, but the cellars, or basements, remained relatively intact.
Liang Haoming was also hidden by Liu Yi in one such basement.
