The open life of peasant girl kapok

Chapter 796 The City Wall Falls Down
For some reason, this winter has been extremely cold, and there have been three snowfalls before the new year.

Looking at the gloomy sky outside now, it was probably going to rain or snow, so she didn't want to go out in such cold.

So after breakfast, Shen Mumian asked Xiaoer to find some pens and paper and made a list, and Shen Lanfeng went out with Hu Er.

Shen Mumian was staying in the house, but she felt very cold just staying there, so she went down to ask someone to bring some charcoal fire in, but what the group said caught her attention.

"Hey, did you hear that?"

"What did you hear?"

The person who spoke was not dressed like the one in Lanxi County. He still wore a big fur hat on his head, and his big beard looked rough at first glance. He also had huge spikes on his body. The person who came over, and the other thin-faced man should be a local with an accent.

"Do you know that the city wall is being built in the north?"

"Know what's wrong?"

"Let me tell you that the city wall on the north side fell down. It fell for dozens of miles. All the people who built the city wall there were crushed to death, and only a few leaders in charge escaped."

"Are you lying?"

The bearded man with fur stared, "Whoever lied to you is a bastard tortoise. I just came from the north to sell a batch of furs. This happened a month ago. I passed by there, and there were corpses all over the ground. Some people's faces were deformed by the smashing, and some brains were smashed out. Let me tell you this is still good, but the bad thing is that some are buried under the city wall, and when the bricks are dug up, no one can find them .”

"Can't find it? Where did it go? You won't be able to drill into the ground, right?" The thin-faced man pointed at him with a smile and said, "You big brother is dishonest, just use empty words to fool us."

"Hey, look at you, I have nothing to coax you to do, but you can't give me some money, don't you?"

The thin-faced man thought it was true.

"Then tell me, what the hell is going on? Why are there no more people? Even if they were killed, they should be buried in the ground, right? What's more, the city wall is not made of earth, so it will fall down if you say it." ?”

Seeing that he believed what he said, the bearded man spoke more vigorously, and the other people he attracted gathered around to listen.

"Yes, yes, you continue to say, where are those people?"

"I don't know." The bearded man shook his head, "I don't know where I went. The local officers and soldiers tore apart the city wall, and those whose hands and feet were exposed can still be found, but those buried under the ground can't be found. Let me tell you, leave the city wall." In Yancheng, the closest city wall, no one dares to go out at night."

The thin-faced man asked, "Why?"

At this time, the bearded man smiled mysteriously and said, "Because at night, people in the whole Yancheng can hear people crying, and the sound is so loud that timid people dare not sleep at night. The government sent people to find out who was crying. , but I can't find it. Some people say that the ghosts of those who built the city wall have entered the city. There is a saying in Yancheng that the people who built the city wall are all people who died in vain. Revenge, won’t we find Yancheng, which is the closest to the city wall?”

"Is that so?"

"Oh, it's scary."

"...

"Yeah yeah."

A group of people subconsciously touched their necks.

But the bearded man said indifferently, "Actually, those people are scary but not scary. After all, people are already dead, so what can ghosts do? The point is that the city wall still needs to be repaired."
