Chapter 1821

He took the ginseng soup handed by the shopkeeper, blew it cold, and drank half a bowl. The taste of the ginseng soup was not good. In this kind of bitter cold place, it is considered good to be able to sell ginseng, but it is even more difficult to get good quality ginseng. It is even more difficult.

Wan Kun put down the bowl and asked the shopkeeper, "Are you from Shangli City?"

The shopkeeper nodded: "Yes, our Li family's ancestors are all in Shangli City and have never left."

Wan Kun hurriedly asked: "Your Li family ancestors have been living in Shangli City, have you heard about the cold flood before?"

The shopkeeper shook his head: "I've never heard of it. It's the first time I've heard of the name Hanjiao. However, I've heard my grandfather talk about sea monsters before, and I don't know what the sea monster has to do with this Hanjiao."

Wan Kun was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "Tell me about it."

The shopkeeper sat down across Wan Kun's table, recalling the bizarre stories that his grandfather told him and his cousins ​​when he was still alive.

"I was ten years old that year, and I had two cousins, one was nine years old and the other was seven years old. The seven-year-old little cousin was crying all the time, and my grandfather said: If you cry again, watch out for sea monsters to catch you. "

"At that time, we didn't know what a sea monster was. We just thought it must be a very powerful thing. My little cousin asked my grandfather what a sea monster was. My grandfather took us to sit under the old locust tree and told stories."

"Grandfather said that sea monsters are monsters in the sea. They are very, very big. They have big green eyes. When they stare at people, they look like two huge emeralds. They are beautiful but dangerous."

"Sea monsters can swim quickly in the sea like fish. They also have feet, so they can also walk on land. Their mouths are so big that they can roll several people into their stomachs just by sticking out their tongues. Like a toad eating a worm."

Shopkeeper Li's drawing skills reminded Wan Kun of what happened that night. When he was half unconscious, he felt himself being rolled up by Han Jiao's tongue and pulled into his stomach, not like a toad eating insects.

"Grandfather said that many, many years ago, sea monsters would come ashore from time to time, seeing people eating people and seeing beasts eating animals, so that the people did not dare to go to the seaside, but later, those sea monsters left the sea rocks and came to human beings. In the city where I lived, just a few sea monsters killed hundreds of people in one day. The emperor at that time was furious when he learned about this incident. Soldiers, let’s deal with sea monsters together.”

Wan Kun hurriedly asked, "What happened next?"

The shopkeeper shook his head: "Grandfather didn't tell me what happened later. At that time, grandfather caught cold and coughed all the time. My grandmother was afraid that his throat would not be able to bear it, so she didn't let him talk about it."

Wan Kun couldn't laugh or cry, how could it be broken at such a critical place?
"Then you never heard the story again?"

The shopkeeper thought for a while, and then said: "I seem to have heard it before, but I didn't listen carefully. It's just a story to scare children. Most of the old people at that time knew this story."

The old man at that time. . .

The shopkeeper is also nearly fifty years old. If his grandfather is still alive, he must be at least 90 years old and [-] years old.

At that time, I am afraid that none of the old people is still alive.

Seeing Wan Kun's disappointed face, the shopkeeper said: "Unless this kind of thing is false, if it is true, it will definitely be recorded in the local county annals. Why don't you just check the county annals?"

Wan Kun shook his head: "After checking, the county annals only save the events of more than 100 years, and there will be no more ones going forward. It is said that the county government was caught in a fire before, and many of them were burned. The rest is these."
