v3 Chapter 144: Own person (1/2)
Zhang Heng did not expect that Gabi would take him directly to Marcruz's residence.
The latter, Domus, was not in the gladiator school, but was located diagonally across the street, in a good location.
The so-called Domus refers to the mansion of the rich. Unlike the villas of modern society, Domus looks more like a small fortress. It looks like a shell, has almost no windows, and is not like the kind of civilians. Apartment with balcony.
Zhang Heng followed Gabi into the gate, passed through the porch, and came to the front hall. Although there is no window, the light in it is good. This is because the front hall has no roof. This design not only allows the sun to shine, but also Collect rainwater.
When I encounter a rainy day, the rainwater will flow along the mouths of the statues on the edge of the roof, and it will fall into a square rain pond.
The rain sink can not only play a decorative role, let the sparkling waves reflect on the surrounding walls, increase the mood, and connect to the underground water storage tank, which ensures that a Domus can have water at any time. On the contrary, living Civilians in the apartment building had to go to the wells and fountains in the city to fetch water.
Zhang Heng didn't expect that Marcruz was standing in the front room waiting for him, and when he saw him, he immediately walked over with enthusiasm and took his shoulders.
This can be described as a shocking act in the eyes of other Romans. The master personally came out to greet the slave, and also made actions that only friends could do. It was even more rare that Marcruz's face was not reluctant. The meaning, as if all this could not be more natural, is completely from the heart.
Now he looks kind and full of affinity, and he was two people sitting on the second floor balcony and looking down at his slaves.
But when all this was fun, a cold humming spoiled the atmosphere of happiness of the subject and the guest.
Zhang Heng had noticed the young girl standing on the second floor. When he walked into the front hall, the other person's face became gloomy. When Marcruz took Zhang Heng's shoulders, the young girl even stomped her feet. Turning his head back to the room.
”Oh, that's my second daughter, Dorma,” Marcruz introduced. ”Don't worry about it. I've been busy with the gladiator school. I didn't have time to manage her, so she developed this. Wild nature, let's go to the reception room. ”
Gagabi seemed to be a little worried about Marcruz's safety, and said, ”Master ... should some more people come?”
”It's okay,” Marcruz waved. ”Zhang Heng is his own person. Besides, with his skill, if he really wants to kill me, you may not be able to stop the person you are looking for.”
Gagabi bowed and stopped saying anything.
克鲁 Marcruz smiled again. ”Let's go to the reception room.”
Compared with the front hall, the light in the reception room is a bit dim, but once the eyes adapt to this dim light, you can see the murals on the wall and the mosaic floor tiles under the feet, which are quite colorful.
Of course, the most conspicuous thing is a large table and the gem-studded chair behind the table. Marcruz is sitting on it now, and he points to the other stool opposite.
So Zhang Heng sat up politely.
