Chapter 129 Well Change (4)

The children cried heart-wrenchingly, while the adults looked at each other in a panting, feeling each other's fear.

The villagers had a tacit understanding that dream did not recall the people around them, because they were able to confirm that the other party had the same dream as themselves. Speaking it out would only escalate the fear and would not have any effect.

After breakfast, people met in the village and greeted him more enthusiastically than usual, but they all discovered the fear hidden in each other's eyes.

And those who were involved in the crowd who didn't know whether they were dead or alive made them shudder, but they did not dare to act like they were separated because they were afraid.

No one works as usual anymore. The double fatigue of body and mind makes them overwhelmed. They get together to chat and pick up happy things.

However, the bad news came to them again.

The poultry and livestock in the village died inexplicably. The first person to discover that something strange was our acquaintance - Lao Zhao.

Lao Zhao also had that dream last night. He was very unhappy when he woke up in the morning. He did not gather with people on the avenue to chat and find a sense of security like everyone else.

Because on both sides of his family are the village chief's family and an uninhabited yard, the village chief's family of three has been killed and no one lives there. The other yard is also his, he raises a group of chickens, ducks and two pigs in it.

The first thing Lao Zhao does after eating every day is to feed these poultry and livestock. Every year, in addition to eating by himself, he also asks the village chief to take these poultry and livestock outside to sell them.

This made Lao Zhao get a considerable income. He deeply felt that it was correct to listen to the village chief's words and do farming. Unfortunately, Lao Zhao is a cold-blooded person. Although he received the favor of the village chief, he did not say a word to the village chief when that incident happened.

Now that the village chief is gone, he is not thinking about the village chief’s goodness, but how to deal with these poultry and livestock and take them out for sale? But he has never done business.

It’s really impossible for people from the village to exchange some daily necessities, rice and white flour, Lao Zhao thought so.

After entering the yard and getting closer to the house, Lao Zhao felt something was wrong.

The house was originally occupied, but the family had no incense. The last person was a girl. When the girl got married, Lao Zhao bought the house at a very cheap price.

The house was idle before. After the village chief came here, he was inspired to merge it. The kang and stove were demolished, with only one wall, and chicken racks were installed on one side to raise chickens, ducks underneath, and pigs on the other side.

When he came here, he would hear the crowing sounds of chickens, the rattle of ducks, and the squeaking sounds of pigs, but today there was no movement.

You should know that animals are not like humans. They can keep quiet without saying a word, so the scene in front of them is very abnormal.

With a nervous mood, Lao Zhao opened the door that had been seriously damaged due to disrepair.

The door opened, and what caught my eye was a scene that made Lao Zhao break his heart, and the chickens, ducks and pigs were dead.

The chickens on the chicken stand stuck their heads into the gaps in the wooden chicken stand, and their mouths were wide open, as if they were trying hard to make a sound.

The duck below was even more weird in death. They wrapped their necks together in pairs, like two ropes tied together. Because the number of ducks was odd, the duck without "assistant" actually tied a knot around its neck, and it was impossible to imagine how it did it.

This scene made Lao Zhao's heart bleeding. These chickens and ducks have been raised for half a year, and the investment in manpower and resources is huge. Even if they can't be sold, the villagers will not exchange things with him. These chickens and ducks will be enough for the whole winter to eat. Then they can eat meat every day, but now they are all dead.

By the way! There is also a pig! Although there is no movement in the other room, Lao Zhao still has a hint of expectation in his heart. Pigs are much more expensive than chickens and ducks. He spent a lot of money to catch pigs and lambs.

When Lao Zhao pushed open the simple wooden door he installed on the wall, he widened his eyes. He raised two pigs, but now there is only one left here.

As for the other pig, Lao Zhao knew where it went, because the remaining pig was dead, and its belly was so big that it was almost transparent that it could be seen vaguely. The broken pig internal organs and the figure of the other pig inside could be seen.

Lao Zhao finally collapsed, not caring about the dirty ground, he fell down all of a sudden, his eyes lost their focus, and his body trembled from time to time.

He is a profit-oriented person, so this incident has hit him too hard.

I don’t know how long it took, Lao Zhao was extremely sad and angry. He rushed out of the yard, stood on the road and scolded him, "Who couldn’t get along with him, Lao Zhao, and killed all the chickens, ducks and pigs in his family."

The villagers gathered on the avenue to chat came and comfort Lao Zhao and entered the house to see the situation.

But after seeing the death of chickens, ducks and pigs, the villagers were silent. Can this be done by humans?

Not to mention whether the chickens and ducks were made like that would make noise and Lao Zhao discovered it. What was the case with that pig doll? Could it be that someone stuffed a pig into the belly of another pig?

But how to stuff this? Where to stuff it? This is not something that people can do!

After leaving the house, everyone stood in the yard without saying a word. Only Lao Zhao was still cursing and saying that he had been cheated.

In fact, Lao Zhao knew in his heart that this matter was not done by humans, but what could it be done by humans? He didn't dare to think about it at all, so he could only numb himself in this way.

Soon, the villagers realized the problem. Something happened to the poultry and livestock of Lao Zhao's family. Will their family be the same?

Thinking of this, they all ran back to their homes to check. It didn't matter, and all the poultry and livestock raised at home were actually dead.

In fact, since they woke up in the morning, they have always felt something was wrong, but now they have realized that they have lost the crowing and barking of chickens and dogs in the past.

After packing up the corpses of the livestock, the villagers gathered together again and invited the other party to their homes for dinner. Things had already happened, and heartache was useless. In summer, the corpses were difficult to preserve and could only be eaten as soon as possible, which was considered as the use of the goods.

Since almost every household has poultry and livestock, it is also a question of who to eat at. Later, the villagers discussed and decided to set up an open-air mat and gather together to drink and eat meat.

During this special period, everyone gathers together to drink and chat and can also eliminate the fear in their hearts.

They did it as soon as they said they could do it. The men moved tables, chairs and benches with the children, and the women cooked. The children had long-lost smiles on their faces.

Those families who didn't know whether they were dead or alive did not participate in this event, which was undoubtedly a good thing for the villagers. If these people came, they didn't know if they could still eat and drink happily.

The women in the village cook all year round and are extremely skillful in their techniques, not to mention that so many people gather together, they are extremely efficient.

The boiling water, the bleeding bleed, the plucking hair, the cutting vegetables, the plucking vegetables, the plucking spoon, the division of labor is clear and each performs its own duties. Soon all kinds of dishes began to serve.

Chicken stewed mushrooms, chicken stewed vermicelli, chicken stewed dried potatoes, chicken breast, spicy chicken head, sweet and sour chicken wings, white chopped chicken, spicy chicken diced chicken, dry pot duck head, braised duck claws, sliced ​​duck meat, charcoal roast duck neck, pork head meat, pig ears, pig tongue, pork belly stewed sauerkraut, braised pork tenderloin, charcoal roast pork loin, steamed pig blood sausage, braised pork trotter, sauce-pickled pork elbow...

With the addition of the three fresh rice and various cold dishes, the village is like the New Year today.

The men around the table all had joyful smiles on their faces, chatting with each other, and raising their glasses from time to time.

Soon, the women packed up the kitchen and put on the table, and the scene became more and more lively.

Whenever there is a wedding or funeral, the villagers will get together like this, but this is definitely the most lively and enjoyable time. People who don’t drink usually pick up their glasses, and those who need others to persuade them to drink are more proactive than anyone else.

Everyone knows that this is just for psychological comfort, but who would say it out loud? It would be better to maintain this.

Because there were too many dead poultry and livestock, the villagers made an appointment to have a meal for three days. In addition to eating breakfast at home, they gathered together for lunch and dinner.

It just happened that the next day we would have to worship the ancient well. Everyone is now very afraid of the ancient well, and getting together often has miraculous effects on relieving fear.

In other words, there is no place in the village where so many people live together, otherwise the villagers must have lived together.

The more you drink, the more you laugh and shouts from the villagers came from afar.

However, the good times did not last long, and a horrible thing soon happened. The village chief's face appeared in the wine glass, just like what the villagers saw in the bucket in the dream.

Not only one person, but all the villagers appeared in their wine glasses, and even the children's water bowls and the soup on the table were the same.

Lao Zhao was the first to discover it. Because of his selfish nature, he was very unhappy in this meal. Every time the people around him moved their chopsticks, he felt heartbroken.

So although he kept forcing his face to smile, Lao Zhao always looked down at the table.

Because he drank a lot, Lao Zhao was a little dizzy. In a trance, Lao Zhao felt something was wrong with the wine bowl. Why did he seem to have seen the village chief?

When I looked closely, it wasn't as if the village chief's face was in the wine bowl and those eyes were staring at him.

Lao Zhao was frightened and threw away the wine bowl directly.

Bang! The wine bowl fell to the ground and broke.

The sound was not loud, but it made the villagers who pretended to be happy instantly quiet. They were so nervous that they could no longer bear the stimulation. For a moment, everyone looked at Lao Zhao.

Lao Zhao did not speak, but turned his eyes to the wine bowl of the people around him.

Seeing this, the villagers looked down at their wine bowls. No matter how much wine is or how much wine is, or whether the wine in the bowl is shaking, everyone saw the village chief's face.

People subconsciously threw the bowl in their hands, and the children were even more frightened and burst into tears. The joyful atmosphere performed by the villagers was immediately gone.
