"The people who originally lived here... aside from the crops being destroyed, was there anything wrong with the people?"
"At the beginning, it seemed there were rumors of strange illnesses and some were possessed by evil spirits, but no one could be sure. Eventually, those people fled as far as possible to save their lives and didn't dare stay here any longer." The old man sighed heavily, "Now this wall is practically coming right under our noses, only a few hundred yards from our village's fields.
There's no telling when they might decide to push the wall forward again, and when that happens, it'll be our village's turn!
I've come to understand, it's only a matter of time, and there's not a thing we can do about it.
I'm already half-buried in the dirt, so it's no big deal for me, but I pity the kids; they could've lived peacefully, but now they have to be ready to move at any moment and vacate their home for someone else."
