The sudden laughter surprised Xu Wen.

It's old, it's very broken, because there are too many "patches", everywhere feels low and dark, and all kinds of stenches are piled up in the air, because it is so strong, it feels as if it has changed from gas to solid, and it has been pressed down heavily.

In this situation, someone is laughing?

Xu Wen was a little curious, and looked closer.

He didn't notice that behind him, Yan Ji and Qin Lianying glanced at each other and sighed at the same time, but they didn't stop him.

Xu Wen approached the house, the stench was stronger, and the light was even more dim.

He narrowed his eyes, barely making out that there was a tattered straw mat on the floor of the room, on which lay a person, as if it were a corpse.

A candle was lit next to the corpse's head, and several people were standing next to it.

These people are laughing and singing and dancing at the same time, and they are very happy.

At the end of the song, a woman bent down and blew out the candle with a thud.

Then, several men swept the body up with grass and carried it out.

Xu Wen hurriedly got out of the way, and those people passed by him, still with strange smiles on their faces, but they didn't squint.

Behind them, the woman followed, her face full of smiles, still very happy, but her eyes were red, and she couldn't help but show sadness, and the two completely opposite feelings were mixed together, making her face look a little weird and terrifying.

"It's a custom that is unique to this place. Yan Ji walked behind Xu Wen and sighed.

“...... What customs?"

"When spring comes, if you can return to your homeland, you can only laugh and not cry at this time. A soul returning to his hometown is a great good thing, and many people can't dream of it. Second, it is a great thing to be able to be liberated from the suffering of this life, what is there to cry about?"

Xu Wen was silent, and after a while, he said softly: "These are not written on the information. ”

"I can't write it. Yan Ji seemed to have a lot to say, but in the end he could only spit out these four words.

Xu Wen didn't speak again, he watched the corpse bearer go away, and then walked away silently, as if he had no purpose in the city.

He walked and watched.

The people in the city say more and less.

Just like Yan Ji said, the weather warmed up, and many people rushed back.

Elsewhere, they are cursed, driven outcasts, and here, at least they have a home.

This winter, a lot of people died outside, and the ones who could be brought back were actually a few of the few, and they were indeed the "lucky ones" who deserved to laugh, and some of them could only be picked up by the family to bring them back, and again, a little bit of the relics on the body, it depended on whether the family members behind could use it.

Maybe it's because they've just come back, and there are "jubilant" laughter everywhere, but Xu Wen can clearly see the teardrops that fall when he turns his head, the suppressed grief that sweeps between his eyebrows, and more - insensitivity.

Xu Wen and several of them wore ordinary craftsmen, the only difference was that Xu Wen's set was made of denim by Lian Linlin, and the cotton fabric was of course more comfortable than linen.

The outward appearance of this costume is not much different from that worn by the Fengchun people, but one thing can clearly indicate that they are outsiders - their hands and faces are all neat and clean, and there is not a single patch on their clothes, which shows the difference at a glance.

But all the way through, no one looked at them as if they didn't exist.

They just sat in one place, looking up at the sky, but nothing got into their empty eyes.

It is normal for a person to be in deep pain, and their perception and consciousness shrink inward, as if in this way they can hide themselves and escape from those pains.

Xu Wen was very suspicious that if this winter came again, they would still have the strength to leave here and flee for refuge.

It was as if their souls had died here.

In the end, Xu Wen traveled all over the city and sat on a ruined city wall.

The terrain here is relatively high, and you can clearly see most of the spring city.

Yan Ji and Qin Lianying didn't pay attention to it, so they found a random place to sit down next to them.

Yan Ji was the oldest of the three, and after sitting in the carriage for a few days and walking for such a long time, he was really a little tired.

He sat on a relatively large brick, thumped his waist, and asked, "What do you think?"

"I'm glad I did. Xu asked.

"Huh?"

"It was just an impulse to choose the location of the new palace in the old Fengchun City, but I didn't think much about it at the time, but now it seems that I did the right thing. ”

Yan Ji and Qin Lianying looked at each other, and they both saw a smile on each other's faces.

"Now I'm thinking about what to do with these people. ”

"With?"

"Hmm. ”

In his original plan, these spring people were also to participate in the construction of the city.

So he planned temporary resettlement houses for them from the beginning, down to the routes in and out of the road, so that they could go to work.

But at that time, he ignored one thing, and that was the mental state of these people.

These Fengchun people have already tried their best to live just by living, they have no expectations for life, although they are still alive physically, but they are actually on the verge of death mentally, Xu Wen does not know what to do to arouse their will to live, so that they can "come back to life".

Yan Ji and Qin Lianying fell silent when they heard this.

In fact, in their concept, these are things that don't need to be considered at all, just be able to work, who cares if your heart is dead or alive, it's too hypocritical to think about this.

But just after following Xu Wen to see the entire city, and now hearing his words, they couldn't understand his feelings, and couldn't find the words to refute them.

"Maybe it's good to do it. Man, there is a difference between having hope and not having hope. Yan Ji comforted him.

"Yes. ”

This kind of thing can't be worried, Xu Wen quickly put down his thoughts.

However, Yan Ji and Qin Lianying were also a little worried.

The city was built in too short a short time, and every manpower was very important, which was indeed a troublesome matter.

"Xiao Xu?" A voice suddenly came from behind, a little familiar, but I couldn't tell who it was for a while.

Xu Wen turned his head and saw Liu Wange coming from behind, and after confirming that it was him, he was very happy: "I looked at it from afar and thought it was you, they didn't say that you wouldn't come so early, it was because I had bad eyes and made a mistake, I want to see who it is!"

"They?" Xu asked.

"Come on, come on, come and sit at home!" Liu Wange said with a smile.

"At home?" Xu Wen remembered clearly, he was from Jinzhong, when did he settle his home here?

"Brother Wange, why are you here?" Yan Ji and Qin Lianying both knew Liu Wange, and then they came up curiously and asked.

After running for chief last time, Liu Wange was unsuccessful, and he should go back to his hometown after participating in the Liuyu meeting, how could he be here?

"Oh, you're here too. Liu Wange greeted them with a smile, Yan Ji and Qin Lianying felt that they had never lacked such a sense of existence.

"Didn't Xiao Xu tell you? We've all been waiting here. ”

"All of you?"

Yan Ji and Qin Lianying looked at Xu Wen suspiciously, and Xu Wen remembered that he was too busy during this time, and he really forgot to tell them about it.

He thought for a moment and said simply, "Generally speaking, it is for some reason that the masters of the Wandering Society have decided to come and build this city with us. ”

Yan Qin and the others stopped in an instant, their eyes widening at the same time.

"Master of the Liuyu Society?"

"All?"

"To help build the city?"
