Chapter 169: Tragedy

Feng Qing seemed to be worried that Lu Yangsheng wouldn't believe it, so he added: "It's true, don't lie to you." Before the snow fell, I snuck out and heard about something that scared people to death. ”

Feng Qing seemed to have thought of something terrible, and showed a look of horror on his face. After hearing this, Lu Yangsheng couldn't help but ask curiously, "What's the matter?" ”

Feng Qing sorted out his emotions for a while, and then said: "According to those who are hiding in the mountains, not far from our mountain, there is a small town that is much larger than our town, called Xiaguan Town, bad luck, at the end of autumn, I encountered a small group of cavalry of the barbarians, and in just half a day, there was no living person in the town, and no one collected the corpses, and it was taken by those barbarians to fill the lake." ”

Lu Yangsheng was a little incredulous when he heard this, and he was surprised: "A whole town, all dead? ”

Feng Qing nodded and said, "That's right, they're all dead." ”

After receiving a definite answer, Lu Yangsheng couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. A small town that is bigger than Luoxian Town, there must be three or four thousand people to say the least, and they all died in half a day. This made Lu Yangsheng somewhat unacceptable. didn't come, Lu Yangsheng remembered what Jiang Guining once said: Thousands of troops and horses, meet on a narrow road, either you die or I die, human life falls like straw, and there is not even a grave......

In the past, Lu Yangsheng had only heard it and didn't pay much attention to it, but now that Feng Qing said it again, he suddenly really felt the indescribable chill.

Human life is like a mustard? Maybe it's even worse, right?

Feng Qing didn't seem to notice Lu Yangsheng's changes, and she continued: "This is not even more terrifying, after all, when you meet a barbarian, how can there be an immortal." What's even more terrifying is that after those barbarians left, people from other places couldn't stand it and wanted to come to help dig a pit for the people of Xiaguan Town to bury, but they found that the corpses that should have been floating in the lake at the entrance of the town all disappeared overnight, and then the sound of people talking came from Xiaguan Town, and people could be seen faintly walking around. There was a person who had been to Xiaguan Town who was close, and accidentally found that there was a person in these figures that he actually knew, it was a person who lived in Xiaguan Town, and the person was frightened crazy on the spot, and the next day he committed suicide by throwing himself into the lake for some reason, and it is said that the body was not fished up. Since then, no one has dared to wander around Xiaguan Town. Tell me, scary or not? ”

Lu Yangsheng looked at the horror in Feng Qing's eyes, and nodded slightly.

Feng Qing couldn't stop talking when she opened the chatterbox, and she continued: "People outside say that this is because the people in Xiaguan Town died so miserably that the ghosts couldn't take them away, so they stayed in the world and became a group of vain ghosts, who could only wander in the places where they lived, and if someone accidentally bumped into them, they would be pulled by them to be their companions. ”

After hearing this, Lu Yangsheng couldn't help but ask, "Is there no one to take care of it?" ”

Feng Qing shook his head and sighed, "Who cares?" I heard that if this kind of thing happened in the past, there would indeed be the government to come forward to help invite the immortals to do the excess, but now that the government is too busy to take care of itself, then can it still spare people to take care of the life and death of these little people? ”

After Feng Qing finished speaking, he found that Lu Yangsheng looked like he didn't know anything, and suddenly remembered that Lu Yangsheng had never been outside, so he might not know anything outside, so he continued to explain.

After explaining for a long time, Lu Yangsheng sorted out the situation outside.

According to Feng Qing's statement, out of the mountain, it is a country called Sui Yang Kingdom, this country was not bad at the beginning, although the people had a hard time, but they could survive, but a few years ago, I don't know what happened, suddenly there was a war in various places, and a large group of people gathered and rebelled. In her words, everyone wants to be an emperor.

There was a rebellion in this country, and the emperor of Sui Yang couldn't sit still, so he urgently dispatched a part of the border troops to return to China to quell the rebellion, which made the border empty, and the barbarians took the opportunity to go south, killing not to mention, but also grabbing a large piece of territory. However, the domestic rebellion was not suppressed, and the border army had no way to defend itself, so they could only let it go, and as a result, the common people living on the border suffered, and the news that the village had been slaughtered came out in three days.

She also heard that these barbarians are extremely barbaric, they don't take human lives seriously, and they like to use people as military food, especially women, who will be ruined, and they will be thrown into the pot and boiled directly the next day, not to mention how miserable it is.

Maybe there are too many dead people, and the border is not very peaceful, and there are often some strange things that come out, like what kind of Yin soldiers cross the border, and the ghosts spare their lives, which are countless. However, this is the first time I have heard of such a thing as Xiaguan Town.

Finally, Feng Qing also mentioned one thing specifically, saying that not long after the tragedy, the town often heard the sound of reading from time to time in the middle of the night, and outsiders could hear it clearly from afar, and it was scary. Some knowledgeable people say that there is a reading ghost in it, who does not forget to read when he dies, thinking that he will hook people's souls.

Lu Yangsheng didn't interject during the whole process, and stopped these things in his ears word for word, his face didn't change, but the slightly trembling little thumb still betrayed his state of mind at this time.

Feng Qing saw that Lu Yangsheng didn't react, and was afraid that he wouldn't listen to persuasion, so he added: "Yangsheng, be obedient, don't go out, live with your cousin obediently, anyway, the food sent by the town is for two people, and it can afford to feed you." ”

Lu Yangsheng didn't talk about this, but asked about another thing: "Cousin, according to what you said, there should be a lot of people hidden in the mountains, right?" Why haven't you ever seen outsiders go to our town? ”

Feng Qing smiled bitterly: "Because unless there is the permission of the patriarch, outsiders will definitely not be able to enter our town, let alone outsiders, even if it is us...... Alas, don't talk about this, anyway, you just need to know that except for the people in our town, outsiders will never be able to enter our town. Otherwise, do you think it's so chaotic outside, and there will be no movement in our town? That's why I won't let you out of the house. Staying in a small town is a little harder, but after all, there is a way to live, and when you go outside, it may not be necessary. ”

Lu Yangsheng was embarrassed to say that he would definitely go out, and he couldn't directly refuse the kindness of others, so he could only say that he would think about it again.

Feng Qing saw him like this, and he was embarrassed to say anything more, so he picked some lighter topics to talk about, most of them asked Lu Yangsheng how his life was in the town, and Lu Yangsheng picked some things that could be said and said it, but even so, he still cried to Feng Qing, and scolded that the people in the town were a group of white-eyed wolves, especially his uncle, although he was Feng Qing's own family in terms of generation, but he was still scolded by her, and he was about to greet the other party's ancestors for eighteen generations.

Lu Yangsheng couldn't stop it, so he could only let it go.

This situation did not stop until Jiang Guining pushed the door into the house. He hugged a broken quilt and greeted him unnaturally, "Yo." Have you had a good chat? Mind if I come and listen to it for a while? ”

Feng Qing, who was crying sadly, stopped crying immediately when she heard this voice, her face was gloomy, she didn't turn her head, and directly pointed to the direction of the door and scolded: "Go back to your own room." ”

This time, Jiang Guining didn't go out, but said with a bitter face: "That room is too cold, and you can't sleep at all." You see that my little brother's house is quite big, and it will definitely not be a problem to sleep with one more person, so I will squeeze with him here. ”

Feng Qing snorted coldly: "You are too dirty, I am afraid that you will stain Xiao Yangsheng." ”

This was a bit heavy, but Jiang Guining knew that he was at a loss, so he didn't dare to speak, but he didn't quit.

Lu Yangsheng really couldn't stand it anymore, so he opened his mouth and said, "Cousin, why don't you let my little brother stay with me for one night?" ”

Feng Qing snorted coldly: "Leave him alone, there is firewood outside, I'm afraid that it will be cold and let him burn it himself." ”

Lu Yangsheng glanced at Jiang Guining and saw that he was giving himself a crazy look, so he could only continue: "Doesn't that still have to use firewood?" In winter, it's not easy for you to get some firewood, don't waste it. And don't worry, I'm definitely optimistic about my senior brother, and I will definitely not let him get into trouble. ”

Jiang Guining hurriedly accosted him on the side: "Don't worry, I will never dare to talk nonsense anymore." ”

Feng Qing was angry when he saw him, turned his head and glared and scolded: "You shut up for me!" ”

Jiang Guining hurriedly closed his mouth obediently.

Seeing that he was so obedient, Feng Qing turned his head to Lu Yangsheng at this time and said, "Okay, since it's your senior brother, and you plead for him again, then I won't let him go to that house." It's a pity, I deliberately sealed the chimney in that room, just to give him some hardship, but now that you have spoken, you can only cheapen him. ”

When she said this, she also deliberately glanced at Jiang Guining.

When Jiang Guining and Lu Yangsheng heard this, they didn't know what to say, especially the former, who couldn't help but shudder when they thought of the scene full of black smoke in the house. This made him have to sigh again, what the Holy Ancestor said was really right, he was worthy of a guy who had read books all his life, and he was just right when he spoke.

Since Jiang Guining came, Feng Qing was embarrassed to stay in the house any longer, she snorted coldly, said goodbye to Lu Yangsheng, and got up and went back to her house. When passing by Jiang Guining's side, she deliberately stepped on one of Jiang Guining's feet, and twisted it hard with her toes, until Jiang Guining's face turned purple in pain, and then she left the house.

As soon as she left, Jiang Guining, who had never dared to scream, immediately hugged her feet and screamed, but before he could shout, a scolding came from her appearance: "Hold back, if you dare to quarrel with the old lady, the old lady will pick your skin." ”

Jiang Guining immediately covered his mouth, but that pitiful look, not to mention how miserable it was.

Lu Yangsheng forced a smile and quietly twisted his head to the side, his shoulders trembled slightly, and then a suppressed laugh came out.
