Wang Changsheng frowned a little when he heard that Xiao Meng was going to see the cattle slaughtered, especially a scalper who had worked for many years and worked hard.

Wang Changsheng ate two mouthfuls of rice casually, put down the rice bowl and asked Lao Han: "Grandpa, where is the second brother Wang's house?"

"The west of the village, you saw it as soon as you passed, so there must be a lot of people now, why do you want to see the excitement?"

"Hehe, it's okay, I'll take a look if I'm idle."

Wang Changsheng came out of the house, and walked to the west of the village, quite far away, he saw a lot of people in front of a courtyard, he squeezed through the crowd to the front, and saw Xiao Meng and a few children squatting on the ground with their chins to watch the excitement.

There is a cow tied to a stake in the yard, and its eyes are blindfolded, which is the rule of folk cattle killing, because the cow is also emotional, and when it is known that someone wants to kill it, it usually sheds tears, and it is inevitable to feel a little sad to look at.

Many of the folk livestock are psychic, except for cats, dogs and chickens, that is, cattle, especially old cows.

So in fact, in many places, even if the cattle can't work, there is no reason to kill, and most of the beef sold in the market is raised beef cattle, this kind of cattle are similar to the walking dead when they are alive, there are not so many taboos, and their souls are dead wood almost from birth.

At this time, there is still one step left to kill the cow, that is, it is only necessary to tie the four hooves of the cow and put it down, insert a knife into the heart, and release the blood.

After a while, someone in the crowd shouted: "Butcher Zhang is here......"

Zhang Butcher is a butcher in ten miles and eight villages, specializing in killing pigs and cattle for people, he came over with a cattle killing knife in his hand, before the person arrived, Wang Changsheng obviously felt a strong smell of blood from the other party, and there was a vertical line on his eyebrows.

This is a sign that only perennial killers will have.

Just this kind of person, walking on the night road at night, ordinary lonely souls and wild ghosts dare not approach him, the murderous aura is too heavy, and the evil aura is also heavy, to put it bluntly, he now has his own function to ward off evil spirits.

However, I am afraid that the life after this person's death will be difficult, and after entering the underworld, he will not be able to suffer, even if he is reincarnated, he will not be able to be an ordinary person in the next life.

When Xiao Meng turned around, he also saw Wang Changsheng, and said, "Big brother, you also came to see the excitement?"

Wang Changsheng sighed, and said in his heart If you don't come, I won't be too lazy to come, this is not a lively view.

"Stay away, don't get too close......" Wang Changsheng frowned and admonished him.

As soon as the butcher came over, the crowd separated, and when he came with a cattle killing knife, suddenly the blindfolded ox trembled all over, obviously trembling, as if he felt that the butcher was coming to kill it.

Zhang Butcher was stunned when he saw the cow, and then looked up and said to Second Brother Wang: "Your cow has been working for many years, right?"

"Well, I was injured a few days ago, and I can't do it, this is not a thought, don't waste it, kill the money from selling meat"

Zhang Butcher frowned and said: "I am taking the money to work, and now I have not confiscated the money, I have to tell you, this cow is better not to kill it, don't kill it, raise it."

Second Brother Wang was stunned and said with a smile: "What's the matter, I still have to give it a pension?"

Zhang Butcher said: "Even if you really raise it, you can't do anything, it's just a few more mouthfuls of grass and feed, your family is not too difficult, can you still miss this mouthful?"

Second Brother Wang was suddenly surprised and said: "Alas, I said that you are a butcher, are you abnormal, aren't you doing the work of a butcher, why are you still unwilling to do business in front of the door?"

Wang Changsheng also saw that this butcher didn't care about killing or burying, but still knew some ways, at least he knew that it was best not to kill cattle that had been cultivated for too long, and he had to remind the other party out of professional ethics.

Zhang Butcher sighed, and then continued: "I am a butcher, but there are some rules I have to tell you, believe it or not is your business, whether to say it or not is my problem, okay, then since you insist on killing then I won't say more, come on, tie the four hooves of the cow"

Second Brother Wang beckoned a few villagers to come over, and stepped forward to tie the hooves of the ox with hemp rope, at this time, the two hooves of the old ox in front of the covered and quiet suddenly bent and knelt down to the ground, and then kept burying his head, looking like kowtowing.

Many people were stunned when they saw this scene, very puzzled and confused, Xiao Meng pointed over there and shouted: "Ah, big brother, you see the cow kneeling, I'm afraid to die."

Wang Changsheng pursed his lips and said "um", and at the same time, Zhang Butcher directly waved his hand when he saw this and said, "Forget it, I won't take this business, you can find someone else."

Second Brother Wang said a little annoyed: "What's the matter with you, you have all arrived and said that you won't do it, so where can I find someone to go at this time?"

Zhang Butcher still shook his head and said: "Then I can't take care of it, Wang Laoer, I also advise you, it's best for you not to kill this cow, otherwise you will be unlucky, believe it or not, I'm leaving......"

Sure enough, after Zhang Butcher finished speaking, he turned his head and left, simply and neatly, and he didn't turn his head back.

Second Brother Wang craned his neck and shouted, "Add money, can I give you an extra 200 yuan?"

Butcher Zhang waved his hand, and his footsteps did not stop.

"Damn, this person is insane, and he doesn't do any business!" Second Brother Wang spat at the mouth, and then walked to the house: "I have also killed pigs, and it is similar to killing cows, yes, I will come by myself, and I will save money."

After a while, the second brother Wang came out of the house, also carrying a sharp knife in his hand, at this time the four hooves of the cow were tied and fell to the ground, he tried to find the location of the cow's heart, Wang Changsheng suddenly pulled up Xiao Meng and said: "What is there to see about the blood, get up, follow me home"

"Hey, hey, don't go, big brother, I'm going to finish killing it soon, I'm still waiting for the bones to make soup for you."

"I'm not bad for this soup, don't look at it!"

Wang Changsheng pulled Xiao Meng up almost stiffly, and then directly dragged him out of the crowd, and said as he walked: "Listen, don't pass by Wang Lao'er's house in the past few days, stay away from their family, try to walk around, understand?"

"Why?"

"If you don't come, don't come, where is so much nonsense?"

As soon as the two of them left, they heard a heart-rending cow cry behind them, Wang Changsheng shook his head and said, "Evil, this person really doesn't know how to be grateful......

Xiao Meng, the kid, was taken aback, and his body suddenly hit a wit, and Wang Changsheng smiled and said, "You little coward, you dare to go and kill the cow?"

Xiao Meng said stubbornly: "I have killed fish, and I have killed chickens with my grandfather."

Wang Changsheng rubbed his head, squinted his eyes and said: "Remember your eldest brother's words, if you can not kill, you will not kill, all living beings in the world are equal, if you kill more, I will add a sin to myself, and after I die, it will be recorded in the merit book, and the judge will judge how you will be reincarnated in the next life according to the good and evil of your life, and you may be thrown into the hungry ghost path and the animal path in the six reincarnations, so you remember, you have to be kind to others, people are watching the sky, who can the sky spare?"

Xiao Meng blinked, in the past few days, he has been pestering Wang Changsheng to tell him stories, and he has heard a lot of things in this regard, and gradually this little child's heart has a lot of concepts about these cows, ghosts, snakes, gods and something.

Wang Changsheng didn't know why he was telling him this, but he just felt that he might have a relationship with this child?

Leading Xiao Meng home, Wang Jingzhen told him again and again that he had been going to Wang Lao's house less recently, especially at night, Xiao Meng nodded "mmmm, hmm", and I don't know if he listened to this.

In the afternoon, Wang Lao's family has finished killing the cow, and then the nearby villagers all gathered over, boiled a big pot of beef and beef bones, and set up three tables, which is a custom in the countryside, who kills the pig and kills the cow, basically let people come over to eat, and the rest of the meat will be taken out to sell for money.

This meal was drunk from afternoon to evening, and the lively atmosphere made people drink a little unstoppable, and in the end, almost everyone drank five and three times.

Let's talk about Wang's second family, there are five people in the family, their husband and wife and parents, the children are in their twenties this year, working in the city, and the four of them are farming in the village, which is the most ordinary farmer's family, and there are two sisters and a younger brother, some are in the countryside, some are in the county, Wang Lao Er and his wife are in their forties this year, and their parents are about sixty, working all year round, and their bodies are very tough, and there are no disasters or diseases.

After drinking wine that night, about seven o'clock, Wang Lao Er lay on the bed and fell asleep, his daughter-in-law and mother-in-law were packing up the beef and bones, ready to go to the town early tomorrow morning to sell, because it is domestic, not a beef cattle, the price of this meat is relatively high and it is very easy to sell.

Wang Laoer's father didn't drink so much wine because he was older, and no one was so early in the evening, so he also cleaned up with the two women, and after eight o'clock, most of them were all profitable, and Wang's father told his wife that he was going to move all the meat to the tricycle to save the trouble of getting up early tomorrow morning.

His wife said, "What are you moving in here at such a late hour, what if you let the rat get into the car and gnaw the meat?"

Wang's father waved his hand and said: "It's okay, I've covered it with a cloth, the rats can't get in, and besides, how much can I eat when I get out, and if I bite it, I will have to get up at four o'clock tomorrow morning, it's too troublesome, I'll do it now, and when the time comes, I will drive away directly."

Time flew by, and a few hours later, it was the middle of the night.

The village was quiet, with a full moon in the sky.

Suddenly, several figures appeared outside the village, about a dozen, on all fours, with long tails, and jumped into the village at a very fast speed, and then gradually approached the courtyard of Wang Laoer's house all the way, and soon these dozen figures all got in.

"Squeak, squeak......"

At this time, there were a few calls in the courtyard of Wang Laoer's house, his mother slept relatively lightly, and it was easy to be woken up when there was a little sound, and after hearing the movement outside, he opened the curtains, and then saw that there seemed to be more than a dozen big rats around the tricycle at home.

Rural people still know this creature, and there are many in the nearby mountains and forests, which are yellow-skinned, that is, weasels.

Wang Lao Er's mother knew what was going on as soon as he saw this posture, it was obvious that the weasel was attracted by the smell of meat, and came to steal meat, she hurriedly picked up the wife next to her, and the old man was woken up and asked what was wrong.

"Huangpizi came to steal meat, look at it, I told you, don't put the meat outside and take it tomorrow morning, it's okay, Huangpizi came to steal ......"

Wang's father immediately put on his clothes and scolded and said, "How dare it! I will kill them, dare to run to my house and steal meat to eat."

After Wang Laoer's father got dressed, he picked up a fire stick from the kitchen and pushed the door and went out, more than a dozen yellow skins in the moonlight had torn off the cloth on the tricycle, and three or four of them were dragging a large piece of meat from the car, and after falling to the ground, they gnawed, and the movement of the mouth was particularly clear.

This made Wang Laoer's father angry, and walked a few steps quickly with a burning stick and walked towards the yellow skin wheel: "What a big dog guts......"

As the saying goes, the copper head and iron bone tofu waist, like wolves and dogs, the waist of the yellow skin is also the most brittle.

"Whew!" Suddenly the yellow skin that was knocked on by the burning stick screamed and fell to the ground, and the other few saw it without being afraid, but stepped back slightly and stared at the old man.

Wang Laoer's father walked over and saw that a large piece of meat on the ground had been gnawed, and there was definitely no way to sell it, so he smashed it several times in a rage towards the fallen yellow skin, and a few next to him seemed to have the heart to come to the rescue, but the old man waved the stick and scattered them all, forcing them not to come up, and the yellow skin on the ground was also killed alive at this time.

The movement may be a bit loud, and Wang's mother and daughter-in-law also ran out, carrying kitchen knives and rolling pins in their hands.

As soon as the yellow skins saw that there were many people, they slowly retreated, and Wang Lao's father pretended to chase a few steps again, until the yellow skins outside the courtyard were scattered.

When Wang's second father came back, he stretched out his hand and pulled up the yellow skin on the ground, and then said: "It's okay, this one is quite big, tomorrow when I come back, pick up the skin, make a pair of leather hats and gloves, and wear it in winter, whatever, this is also earned, otherwise that big piece of meat will cost two or three hundred yuan......
