Niujiatun was as peaceful as it should be before we left, but when we came back, the whole village was in chaos.
I felt a little panicked in my heart. Among the noisy crowd, I immediately saw a scene of its own, a running bull standing in the corner.
He lowered his head and did not push forward. Some people in the village passed by him and glanced at him inadvertently, with obvious condemnation.
"Brother Niu, what happened?" I called him. Niu Benwang hurriedly looked in our direction. At the same time, many people in the village were also curious. The three of us were a little embarrassed when we went up. Click on the outsiders who appear in the village.
Before Niu Benwang could answer, an old man who was over 60 years old walked out of those people. This man should be very senior and a well-spoken person in the village.
This is the case in rural areas. The most effective person to speak is the village chief, but at the same time, there are people who may be more respected. One is a respected old man, and the other is a person with great ability, like Uncle Wu.
The old man walked out, glanced at us, and then turned to Niu Benwang, "Xiao Wangzi, you haven't done what everyone told you before, have you? Why do you think cows are more important than people? You Look what happened again!"
"Grandpa Seventh, this... if something happens to his own family, it should also be blamed on my cow. This... this is inappropriate!"
We still don't know what's going on, so we can only listen to them talk to themselves, looking confused.
The few people standing behind the old man did not agree with Niu Benwang's theory, and said a little arrogantly, "It doesn't matter where the accident happened. The most important thing is that it was something evil. Did you see the state of the house? Our village has always been peaceful." , it’s just your cow that caused the monster, and now a human life has occurred. If it wasn’t your cow, who could have caused the disturbance? You still don’t want to admit it!”
"No, don't talk nonsense. My cows are fine. I won't kill them. I definitely won't kill them!"
Niu Benwang also dug up, bulging his neck and staring, and immediately looked like he would rush forward to fight with someone.
Fortunately, Niu Benwang's father arrived at this time and grabbed the angry Niu Benwang, "What are you doing? What do you want to do, you bastard? What do you want to do with your seventh grandfather? Go home quickly." "
When he saw the three of us, Old Man Niu was also stunned, "Master, what's wrong with you? Why are you all injured?"
This time Mr. Niu had even more reason to ask Niu Benwang to go home, "Don't say anything, just take the three masters home and clean up the wounds. Why are you still injured?"
Only then did Niu Benwang realize that something was wrong with us, so he didn't make any more fuss. He led us towards his home. I felt many pairs of eyes staring at me from behind. Just standing there, I could vaguely smell blood. The taste is very strong!
It's definitely not on me. There are probably scabs on the back of my head.
Back at Niu Benwang's house, his family members were all up. His wife was looking at the old cow in the house where the cow was raised. She must have known that the cow was destined to be like Niu Benwang.
The old mother of the Niu family walked around the house anxiously. When she saw Niu Benwang coming back with us, she was visibly relieved. She thought it was the old lady who arranged for the old man to go out.
"Mom, take out our medicine box, the masters are injured!"
"Oh, it's still hurt. Come into the house quickly and I'll get it. That's what you said."
I look a little scary, the blood is all dried on my clothes and hair. Now, except for my bag, which is still a little sore, nothing serious has happened. Lang Hongyi is weak. He is not sick. Only Zhang Wei is a good person. A little frightened and tired.
Mrs. Niu came in with the medicine box and simply bandaged and cleaned me up. Looking at Zhang Wei and the others, they were a little worried, "What should you do...? Why am I uncomfortable?"
I was the first to explain, "Mom, please stop being busy. We have nothing to do. They are just tired. They just need a rest. Could you please get some ginger syrup? They got a little wet by the reservoir."
"Yes, yes, I'm going to get it done right now. If moisture or other things get into your body, you will suffer when you get old. Just wait for me."
The old lady hurriedly walked out, leaving only Niu Benwang and the three of us in the room.
I looked at Lang Hongyi, who was not energetic, and asked, "How are you doing? Do you have a spare one?"
Lang Hongyi told me not to worry, saying that I would just ask Zhang Wei to go back and get it at dawn, so that I would be prepared.
In this way, I felt relieved and turned to look at Niu Benwang. "Brother Niu, we encountered a situation at the dam. It is indeed not clean there, but there is nothing wrong with your cow. I have some questions to ask." You, tell us the truth."
Niu Benwang nodded solemnly and was very cooperative. He probably knew that we were the only ones who could help him save the old cow.
I briefly told Niu Benwang what happened on the dam, and I heard that his face was filled with nervousness and his hands were shaking.
Especially when I heard the female ghost coming from the reservoir towards the shore, twisting her body, what appeared on her face was not fear, but a sense of nostalgia.
I didn't go into the details of the reason. Now was not the time. I wanted to know what happened in the village first. "Brother Niu, what happened in the village? I smelled blood there just now?"
Niu Benwang glanced outside the door to make sure that his wife and mother had not come in, and said in a low voice, "It's scary. The butcher of our village is dead."
After his description, I learned that the cattle butcher was a person in the village who specialized in killing pigs, sheep, and cattle. Not long ago, people nearby heard shrill screams coming from the cattle butcher’s house, shouting that he was wrong. I didn’t dare to do it anymore and just go around him.
When I got up and went to check, I saw that the door of the cattle butcher's house was open. There was blood on the floor of the house. The cattle butcher's limbs and joints had been twisted and broken. He fell on the sharp knife inserted in the door and died absolutely. .
"It looks scary. The body is still hanging on the door panel, just like... just like the animals he usually slaughtered. There is a pool of blood on the ground."
I frowned after hearing this. This butcher is considered a serious murderer, especially the pig-killing knife, which can almost be compared with a ghost weapon. If it can kill such a person, if the person who did it is really an innocent soul, I will I can't imagine what level it has reached.
Evil ghost? Fierce ghost? Or ghost Rakshasa?
"There was no one else in his house? No one saw it when it happened? Did the village notify anyone official?"
I asked several questions in series, but Niu Benwang knew them all and answered them one by one, "He had a son who drowned in the reservoir before he was raised. Because this was the case, the Niu Benwang's wife almost didn't ask him to beat him." After his death, I will not be with him anymore. Now he is alone and no one has seen him. The village chief and other people in the village have already reported it. Official officials will not be able to arrive until tomorrow morning at the earliest."
My son drowned in the reservoir, and I died so strangely and tragically after we discovered that the female ghost had entered the village. Is there any connection between this?
I asked the last question, "Brother Niu, have any women died in our reservoir? Have any of the water station staff died in the house on the dam? The man was in his forties?"
Niu Benwang sat on the kang and fell into silence. I looked puzzled. Is this question difficult to answer?
