Modern architecture naturally abandoned thresholds long ago, and people have gotten used to both seeing and using them without thresholds. But the issue is, in traditional-style buildings, since doors are often designed to be very tall and long, the absence of a threshold can give an unsettling, inharmonious feeling.
Too direct, too sinister, like a monster has opened its mouth, instilling dread at a glance.
"Ah!"
While proceeding, all of a sudden, Xue Liangliang saw someone sitting inside a house with an open door to his right.
He was startled into stepping back twice; the damn uneven ground caused him not to steady himself, and he stumbled to the ground, becoming seated in direct view of that door.
Inside the door, there sat an old woman whose skin, perhaps from being soaked in the water for too long, looked terribly pale and was slightly swollen.
She was dressed in a blue jacket, its color as bright as funeral clothes, but the design was more elaborate.
