Chapter 353: Mass Graves
After following Wanquan around the town, the two finally found their destination.
Looking at the mass grave not far away, a trace of doubt flashed in his heart.
Isn't this a mass grave? How can it be a cemetery for people to worship?
Wan Quan looked at Errao's expression and smiled faintly.
Their expressions were completely expected, but what was even more strange was that such a situation did not seem to be an isolated case.
Wan Quan vaguely remembered that the last person who came to Nancheng with this excuse was subconsciously shocked after seeing this scene.
In the end, such a scene is still extremely unbelievable.
Wan Quan felt so, and Shangguan Ling and Ling Feng felt even more so.
After all, the size of any one cemetery is not enough to compare with the scene in front of you. There are almost no places to stay.
Everywhere you look, it's all white bones. Some of them were probably crossed here not long ago, so the skin on their bodies has not completely decayed.
But even if it's partially rotten, the smell is disgusting.
And around, there is no grass. This made Ling Feng and the others think of what they heard in the court at that time, maybe it was the result of the flood?
The two of them didn't know, but they felt that the situation seemed to be much more intense than they imagined.
Looking at everything not far away, I didn't go down in my heart.
They only found out about this situation a few years ago. It's really, horrible.
"Uncle Wanquan, these corpses..."Ling Feng swallowed.
Looking at Wanquan's eyes, in addition to curiosity, there was also a trace of surprise. The surprise of the sight is even more surprised that this mass grave has become such a way that no one manages it.
"Yes, these bodies are people who died during the flooding. Before you know it, it's been months. ”
At the beginning of each month, at the middle of the month, at the end of the month, there is a flood. The surging waves of the flood brought everything to peace directly.
It's just that the reason has not been found for a long time. Over time, this cemetery naturally became a mass grave.
Because there are more and more corpses, and the poor are mostly unable to afford coffins.
So, after a roll of straw mats, it is the destination. Over time, those corpses were eaten by the things around them.
Many of the corpses had incomplete kidneys, which was terrifying to look at.
"But you're not, the flood has been controlled..."Shangguan Ling looked at Wanquan in front of him, and said slowly with a somewhat hesitant look again.
"Yes, it's already under control. Because, there are not many people living in the southern city either. In the future, it may become an empty city. Wanquan, helplessly pulled the corners of his mouth.
As a native of the southern city, he has feelings for this place. As a master in the county government, he hopes that the imperial court can send someone to deal with it.
Whether it's to control the floods and keep the remaining people, or to revitalize the industry here.
No matter what it is, the money is still paid back to the Ming court, and the court has not given up here.
And here, too, is bound to thrive again.
Wanquan believes this, and is even more convinced that this will definitely come. I believe that, I believe it very much.
"Uncle Wan Quan, in fact, the two of us...", the words have already come to this, and Shangguan Ling feels that Wan Quan is afraid that he has already guessed their Errao identity.
"I know you're not ordinary people. So, I choose to trust you. Is there anything you want Uncle Quan to help, though. ”
Wan Quan finally smiled, and his wrinkled face finally showed a little smile.
