    During the famine our present fields were roads. Trenches were dug during the time of hunger and starvation to bury people who died during the famine. There were hundreds of trenches dug and all are supposed to be full of dead people. There is a moat in our fields and there is supposed to be doors, corridors, guns, and other valuable things in it.
