"we……"

"Shhhhh!"

Lu Sheng was about to speak, when the wind suddenly started outside the door.

The old man hurriedly blew out the light, and whispered to the two men: "Don't make a sound when you hear anything, and don't talk."

The two looked at each other and nodded obediently.

"Knock-knock-knock-"

Suddenly there was a knock on the door outside, all of a sudden, three times.

"Grandma, is the ghost coming again?"

The two children leaned toward the old man one after another, and one took her arm and spoke timidly.

"Don't be afraid, the milk is here, it's okay!"

The old man patted the two on the shoulders and coaxed softly.

"The ones outside are not ghosts, but people."

Lu Sheng spoke quietly.

She has been catching ghosts for many years, how could she not know whether a person is a ghost outside the door?

The gust of wind just now was just a coincidence.

This Wenshan Village is at the foot of the mountain, and the wind is normal at night.

Unexpectedly, the old man said quietly, "Whether it is a ghost or a man, it's just as scary here."

Wenshan Village suffered a severe drought, so naturally the nearby villages were the same.

What else can people here besides greedy ghosts?

"They cannibalize!"

The little girl had fear in her eyes.

"eat human?"

Chu Sihan frowned.

Lu Sheng was shocked, has he reached this level?

"Mother-in-law, can you tell us what happened in this village?"

"What else can it be?"

The old man said with a blank expression: "It has been two years since the drought broke out. What can and cannot be eaten on the mountain is almost finished. What is so surprising about cannibalism?"

Having said that, the old man's hands on the shoulders of the two children trembled slightly.

"Since the situation is so difficult, why did you let us in?"

Chu Sihan asked quietly.

The old man smiled faintly, "because the food is gone."

The food she hid had been eaten this morning.

When the wind started in the past few days, there was a knock on the door. She could see from the crack in the door but no one was seen.

There were knocks on the door for several days, and no one was seen every time.

She was a lot of age and naturally believed that those things existed. Therefore, when Lu Sheng knocked on the door today, she hurriedly turned off the light.

It wasn't until he saw the light from the crack of the door and heard Lu Sheng's voice that he opened the door boldly.

"What the **** is cannibalism? Does it matter to Yamen?"

Listening to Lu Sheng's words, the old man couldn't help but smile.

"What does the yamen care about? The harvest in the past two years has been halved, and this year there is no income. Even the amount of taxes paid is not enough. Some people even pay last year's old grain."

"Everyone begged the people of the yamen to wait until next year to collect taxes. Not only did they not receive the slightest sympathy, they were interrupted by the yamen's legs, and even let people stay at the entrance of the villages. Who dares to escape and file a complaint? Was beaten to death."

The old man looked at the two with muddy eyes, and said in a dumb voice: "You should have felt it when you came in this way. This whole village, there are only three of our grandparents left. The others either starved to death or were killed. , I left here over the mountains and ridges, and there is no one."

Lu Sheng frowned, "Didn't it mean that the drought only started a few months ago?"

"Two years ago there was a severe drought. A few months ago, everyone saw that there was no hope in life, and only then began to resist. It is a pity that the officials are in charge and only care about themselves. How can you care about the lives of the people?"

Chu Sihan looked very ugly.

The county magistrate here didn't report such a big matter, and they couldn't receive any news.

Killing so many people, the magistrate of this Yongfu town really deserves to die.
