Chapter 1822

He took the ginseng soup from the shopkeeper and drank a small half bowl after blowing it cold. The taste of the ginseng soup was not good. In this bitter and cold place, it would be good to have ginseng to sell. It would be even more difficult to have a good quality ginseng.

Wan Kun put down his bowl and asked the shopkeeper, "are you from the city?"

the shopkeeper nodded: "yes, our ancestors of Li family are all in the city and have never left."

Wan Kun asked: "your ancestors of Li family have been living in Shangli city. Have you heard about the cold Jiaos before?"

The shopkeeper shook his head: "I've never heard of the name of Han Jiao. I've heard of it for the first time. However, I've heard about the sea monster from my grandfather before, and I don't know what the sea monster has to do with it."

Wan Kun was very happy and asked, "tell me."

The shopkeeper sat down opposite wankun's table and recalled the strange stories he told his grandfather and his cousins when he was still alive.

"When I was ten years old, my two cousins, nine and seven, were crying all the time. My grandfather said," you cry again, be careful of the sea monsters coming to catch you. "

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

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

"Sea monsters can swim fast in the sea like fish. They have feet, so they can also walk on land. Their mouths are so big that they can get several people involved in their abdomen just by sticking out their tongue, just like toads eat insects."

Manager Li's description reminds Wan Kun of what happened that night. When he was half unconscious, he felt that he was curled up by Han Jiao's tongue and pulled into his stomach, which was not like a toad eating insects.

"My grandfather said that many years ago, sea monsters would come ashore from time to time. When they saw people eating people and animals eating animals, they made people afraid to go to the sea. But later, those sea monsters left Haiyan and came to the city where people lived. In a day, only a few sea monsters killed hundreds of people in the city. When the emperor learned about this, he was furious and immediately spread We will collect people of insight from all over the country to deal with the sea monsters. "

Wan Kun asked, "what happened later?"

The shopkeeper shook his head: "later, my grandfather didn't say anything. At that time, my grandfather caught cold and coughed all the time. My grandmother didn't let him go on because she was afraid that he couldn't stand his throat."

Wan Kun can't laugh or cry. How can he break up in such a critical place?

"Then you have never heard of this story again?"

The shopkeeper thought for a moment and said, "it seems that I've heard it, 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 people of that time...

The shopkeeper is also nearly 50 years old. If his grandfather is still alive, he must be at least 90 and 100 years old.

The old man at that time, I'm afraid, is not alive.

Seeing Wan Kun's disappointment, the shopkeeper said, "unless it is a fake, if it is true, it will be recorded in the local county annals. Will you check the county annals?"

Wan Kun shook his head: "it's been checked. The county annals have only kept things for more than 100 years, and there's no more. What's more, the county yamen lost a fire and burned a lot of them before. That's all that's left."
