Chapter 5 Death of Livestock

Li Ru listened and said that if the other party said nothing, it would cause all the livestock in the entire village to lose their blood, and it was usually caused by monsters.

"Is there a corpse of a livestock?" Li Ru asked.

"Yes!" Wan Zhiyong answered quickly, and said to a thin and taciturn man next to him, "Zhang Tianhe, go carry your lamb over and let the beggars see!"

"Why don't you go..." Zhang Tianhe muttered in his heart.

He reluctantly pulled his legs out of the warmth of the brazier, pulled a lantern from the wall, lit a lantern and headed towards his home.

"Xuanzhou, you can also go and help." Li Ru made some arrangements.

Li Xuanzhou just sat down and didn't feel any warmth in his body, but since the master had arranged it, he didn't say anything.

Nodded, he came to the next door to Tianhe with the table.

The two of them pushed open the wooden door with lanterns, crossed the threshold, and left the room that was still warm.

As soon as he left the door, the cold wind and wet cold air directly penetrated into Li Xuanzhou's clothes.

He tightened his clothes tightly, followed Zhang Tianhe and left the courtyard. He came to the dirt road in the village. The moonlight had already arrived.

The cold white moonlight fell on this extremely tall pear tree, and the shadows of the mountains and the desolate moonlight fell on the dirt road in front of them, which was quite strange.

Several local dogs behind him were crowded together in groups.

They either took two steps forward and sniffed Li Xuanzhou's legs or walked alternately around the two people.

"Little boy, do you think our village is really a demon?" Zhang Tianhe looked at Li Xuanzhou with dissatisfaction. The village was stained with such filth, and it would be a little uncomfortable for anyone to put it on.

Li Xuanzhou didn't say anything. He followed Zhang Tianhe without saying a word. Every household was closed and the military officer was guarding the house.

The villagers in this place were obviously scared.

"Haha." Zhang Tianhe was bored, and his pace accelerated a little, and he took Li Xuanzhou to his own courtyard.

Under the cover of the lantern, Li Xuanzhou could see a small bulge covered by thatch in the corner.

Zhang Tianhe originally intended to let Li Xuanzhou carry the lamb, but after thinking about Li Ru's scheming and concise appearance, he would just forget it.

He handed the lantern bamboo hand to Li Xuanzhou, and he pulled it into the thatch twice, turning out a stiff and thin lamb corpse from the thatch. The lamb's eyelids were open, and the skulls on both sides were not shriveled yet. The horizontal pupils in the eyeballs looked at Li Xuanzhou in a spiritless and empty way. It was carried on Zhang Tianhe's shoulders, and the head was dragged out to the back, a dry and bloodless sheep tongue, accompanied by Zhang Tianhe's muttering and nagging, swaying under the mottled moonlight.

The local dogs licked their tongues, and they followed each other, waving their chills and shaking their tails.

...

The door opened and closed, and the room was filled with women. The women gathered in the yard and were very quiet. They continued to speak until they watched Li Xuanzhou and Zhang Tianhe enter the lobby and the door of the lobby room closed.

"We have not suffered any bad things in our daily lives. We cannot say that it is harmful to others. The daily festivals and solar terms are not lost. There are no sacrifices in the ancestral hall at the entrance of the village. Why do we have to beg for mercy and help in the end?"

"Hey, stop talking, bad luck. If you really want to say that this beggar can do big things, don't just come and go through a formality. It's all scammers, that's uncomfortable."

"It shouldn't be possible. They won't charge money if they don't finish things."

"Then do you believe this beggar?"

"I don't believe it very much, but there is nothing I can do. You know, one night I could hear the sound of hissing and blood-sucking from my sheep house. This sound was like tearing a piece of rag, which was so scary!"

"I sometimes hear it, it's like a wild cat cub calling, it's quite creepy!!!"

A group of women also shook when they said this. After a chill, they approached a brazier in the center of the courtyard.

At this time, the whole village was not moving, all crowded inside and outside the house, watching whether this beggar can accomplish anything.

...

In the lobby, the corpse of the lamb had been placed on the red brick floor. Li Xuanzhou was holding the lights aside, and Li Ru was already squatting on the ground and began to check the lamb's corpse.

When he cut the lamb's corpse with a knife, Li Xuanzhou obviously felt that great resistance during the cutting process. His knife was not dull. After cutting a hole, he looked at the shriveled body. There was really no blood left in his body, and his whole body was pale. Under the irradiation of this candlelight, it looked very scary.

"It's true that I didn't see a drop of blood." Li Ru thought in his heart, then reached out and touched the lamb's neck carefully, constantly pushing the hair that was sticking to the skin apart. Then, in the confusion of everyone, Li Ru's finger suddenly stopped at the neck of the sheep. Needless to say, Li Xuanzhou immediately approached his lantern. When the lantern hovered stably, Li Ru shaved the wool on the lamb's neck with a knife, and everyone was puzzled and observed each other.

After Li Ru put away the knife, the lamb's neck placed on the brick and stone floor had been shaved, and two broken bite marks were exposed!

The bite mark seemed to be gnawed out on the skin. Judging from the depth of the bite mark, this monster was full of greed and hatred.

"Hiss!" Wan Zhiyong gasped, and squatted on the ground and touched the dent with his hand. "What's the matter biting, and there are two big blood holes!"

"Can't it be the native dog in our village?"

"Impossible, it's not like our native dogs, who eat meat and don't suck blood!"

"That's the beast?"

"Not that we have never seen mountain wolves and other things around our village. If there are any, we wouldn't even bark no matter how much the local dogs were?!"

The big men in the room squatted there, scratching their heads for a moment, covering their mouths.

Even though winter is coming, the lamb still emits an unpleasant smell, like a vomit, which is quite unpleasant. Especially after being accelerated by the warm room, the people close to the lamb's corpse frowned.

Wan Zhiyong called the first voice and said, "Okay, okay, if you can see clearly, why would I ask Lord Beggar to come here? Let's go away and see what the Lord said!"

At this time, the people in the room had dispersed. Several people stood against the wall, each with red faces and eyes with fear and disgust, waiting for Li Ru's statement next.

Li Ru said it very simply, but it was quite amazing.

"This is not bitten by wild animals, it is artificial." Li Ru said calmly.

“…”

There was a silence in the lobby for two breaths.

In an instant, it was filled with that incredible sound.

"How could it be done by humans? We can't suck the blood of these lambs and livestock. This will cause the livestock to die directly, and it will be a huge loss for us."

"Yes, if it were done by someone, we should have discovered it long ago. How could we say that we had not noticed who the other party was at all?"

"Besides, sometimes two or three cattle and sheep can die in one night. People can't do such things, let alone they can't do it."
