"We..."

"Shh

Lu Sheng was about to open his mouth when the wind began to blow outside.

The old man quickly blew out the light and told the two men in a low voice, "don't make any noise when you hear it, and don't speak."

They looked at each other and nodded obediently.

"Knock - knock - knock -"

suddenly, there was a knock on the door, one by one, a total of three.

"Milk, is the ghost coming again?"

The two children all went to the old man one after another. One of them took her arm and spoke timidly.

"Don't be afraid. The milk is here. It's OK!"

The old man patted them on the shoulder and coaxed them softly.

"It's not ghosts out there, it's people."

Lu Sheng spoke softly.

She has been catching ghosts for many years. How can she not know whether people are ghosts outside?

It was just a coincidence.

Wenshan village is at the foot of the mountain. It's normal for the wind to blow at night.

Who knows, the old man said in a low voice: "whether it's a person or a ghost, it's just as terrible here."

Wenshan village is suffering from severe drought, so are the villages nearby.

At this time, apart from the glutton, what else can we have?

"They eat people!"

The little girl's eyes were full of fear.

"Cannibalism?"

Chus Han frowned.

But Lu Sheng's heart was shocked. Has it reached this level?

"Granny, can you tell us what happened in this village?"

"What else could it be?"

The old man said with no expression: "it has been two years since the drought. What's so surprising about cannibalism

That said, the old man's hands on the shoulders of the two children were trembling slightly.

"Why did you let us in when we were in such a difficult situation?"

Chu Si Han asked in a light voice.

The old man heard a faint smile, "because the food is gone."

The food she had hidden had been eaten up this morning.

Once the wind blows these days, there is a knock outside the door. She looks out from the crack of the door, but she doesn't see anyone.

There was a knock on the door for several days, and I didn't see anyone every time.

She is very old. Naturally, she believes that those things exist. Today, as soon as they knock on the door, she turns off the light in a hurry.

It was not until I saw the light in the crack of the door and heard Lu Sheng's voice that I opened the door boldly.

"What's the matter with cannibalism? Doesn't the Yamen care? "

Listening to Lu Sheng's words, the old man couldn't help laughing bitterly.

"What is Yamen in charge of? In the past two years, the harvest has been halved. This year, there is no harvest. Even the amount of tax is not enough. Some even make up for last year's old grain to pay the tax. "

"Everyone begged the Yamen people to wait until next year to collect taxes. Instead of getting any sympathy, they were interrupted by the Yamen people. They even asked people to stay at the entrance of each village. Anyone who dares to escape and complain will be killed alive."

The old man looked at them with turbid eyes and said in a dumb voice, "you should have felt it all the way in. The whole village is left with only three of our grandparents and grandchildren. The others either starved to death or were killed. Otherwise, they left here and there was no one left."

Lu Sheng frowned, "didn't he say that the drought started a few months ago?"

"Two years ago, there was a severe drought. A few months ago, when we saw that life was hopeless, we began to resist. Unfortunately, when we were in power, we only cared about ourselves. How could we care about people's life?"

Chusihan looked very ugly.

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

The magistrate of Yongfu town really deserves to die for killing so many people.
