Chapter 359: Rumors

It is just a folklore that a cow gives birth to a unicorn, in fact, how can this cow give birth to a unicorn, and there is no dragon to breed, let alone a fictional creature. But the calf born by the Wang family's cow is indeed extremely weird. The calf weighs about 40 pounds, is about 1 meter long, and is covered with black turtle shell-like markings. The face was terrifying, the eyes were red, the eyelids were turned out of the sockets, and the teeth were reversed. The tail is smooth, thin and small like a snake's tail. At that time, some people said that the cow gave birth to a unicorn and a pig gave birth to an elephant, so this calf is a unicorn.

The unicorn is a divine beast, and the big guys know it, but according to common sense, this divine beast is just a creature made up by the ancients, and it doesn't exist, but this calf is a little too scary, and even the cow doesn't dare to approach after giving birth, and the whole body is still trembling when hiding far away.

At that time, some of the people present didn't dare to look at it and ran home, and most of the rest were just far away and were muttering. In the old days, people were pedantic and feudal, especially the poor people who did not receive much education in the ravine, and they were even more inclined to believe in some unwarranted things, so some people said that the Wang family did not respect the gods in the sky, so they sent the divine beast to the world, and waited to eat the whole village when they grew up. In the background of the neighing sound of the strange calf, this kind of talk was even more frightening, and the man of the Wang family was even more panicked when he heard it, not because the cow gave birth to a strange cub, but because the villagers pointed and poked him in the back, saying that he was going to kill the whole village, which was not a good sign at the time.

People will always do some stupid things in the ignorant period, which is basically feudal superstition, which is also the reason why the cow, ghost, god and snake were later overthrown, and the bad habits of the people for thousands of years should be eradicated. But it was the Republic of China period, and it was still early before liberation, and the men of the Wang family were particularly afraid that this kind of talk would spread in the village. At that time, I was nervous and scared, so I threw down the candle and went into the house to take out the big knife used to chop the feed, turned over and rushed into the cattle pen, and hacked the calf that had not been able to stand up and be terrible on the spot.

Although the blind man is not a superstitious person. But he always felt that something was wrong here, this person's instinctive perception was very accurate, and he guessed it this time.

In the old days, there were not many communication tools among the people, and they walked by foot communication and shouted, but there was something strange about it, and it was like a strong wind, and the place where the wind blew was all known, and people in other places heard that the cow had laid a unicorn at night in the Wang family, and they made a special trip to the mountain road to see what it was like, and there was a kind of liar similar to running the rivers and lakes to collect the calf. The bid was also very high, and for a while, the Wang family received a lot of attention. But the calf was hacked to death by the men of the Wang family, and the corpse of the dead calf was packed in a sack and ran into the mountains overnight to find a place to bury it, for fear that someone would talk about it again in the future.

A few months passed in a blink of an eye, and people's curiosity was gradually attracted by other things, and only a few people still remembered the Wang family. It stands to reason that the calf born by the cow is a unicorn, but it is just a deformed calf, but this calf will definitely not grow. Therefore, if you die early or later, you have to die, and the Wang family is not reluctant.

There are only two members of the Wang family. The man has to work in the fields during the day, while his daughter-in-law cooks and washes clothes at home. This man is an ordinary peasant, not tall and ugly, he can only farm and raise livestock, but the poor people at that time were basically like this, but only the daughter-in-law of the Wang family is almost thirty. But she looks like a big girl, and her little face is white and beautiful, and if she can be changed into a good dress, she is no worse than the young lady of the big family. This is just a talk, saying that these two are not compatible. It's a bit similar to Pan Jinlian and Wu Dalang, but it's really a flower stuck in cow dung, and I don't know what the daughter-in-law thinks about marrying this rough man who wants money, no money, and nothing. So some people broke their mouths behind their backs, saying that the daughter-in-law of the Wang family used to be a kiln sister.

In the old days, there were three favorite places for the old men to go, the gambling house, the smoke house and the kiln. Compared with the big guys, this kiln knows that going to the kiln is to visit a brothel, and this kiln sister is a prostitute and a woman who sells herself. But it is generally a girl from a poor family, and the family can't eat, so she has to send the girl to the kiln to be a kiln sister, which can be exchanged for a lot of money. There are also women who have been abducted and trafficked, and they have become kiln sisters after being forced to become prostitutes. In short, this kiln sister is a woman with a beautiful face and a good figure, but this is not a glorious thing, Sister Kiln can't do it when she is old, she takes the money she saves by selling her body to go back to her hometown or go to the countryside to find a bachelor to marry, and live the second half of her life quietly.

The people in the village didn't dare to say this on the surface, but secretly who didn't think so, the old lady was just a broken mouth, but this man was different, they were more greedy for the Wang family's daughter-in-law. The old face of the mother-in-law at the head of the family twitched and blackened, and when she came out, she happened to meet the daughter-in-law of the Wang family, and then took a look at the white little face of the family, oops, this gap is simply a world of difference, and then compared with the man of the Wang family, I feel that I don't have to be worse than that man, why is this woman blind and can look at him and not herself?

There are a lot of flowers and intestines, but they all have the heart of a thief and don't have the courage to be a thief, so they can only get over the addiction to smoke and talk about meat jokes and laugh for a while. Unexpectedly, an incident happened later, which led to the tragic death of the daughter-in-law of the Wang family, and also led to a series of strange and bizarre strange things.

The man of the Wang family is honest, he knows how to work, and basically he is not at home all day, and he is allowed to work in the field. But one day, the man of the Wang family walked home after finishing the farm work, carrying a hoe and a basket containing lunch and walking unhurriedly, but when he passed a mountain path, suddenly a strange cry came from the grass on the side, this voice is too familiar to the man of the Wang family, that is, the neighing of the calf that night he hacked to death before he died, which suddenly frightened the man of the Wang family. But he took a closer look at his surroundings, and remembered that he seemed to have put the dead calf in a sack and was still nearby, and thought to himself, could it be that the beast was not dead yet?

Thinking so in his heart, he couldn't help but be a little scared, he wanted to leave quickly, but this person's curiosity was very heavy, and he didn't know what was going on, so he felt uncomfortable. So the man of the Wang family put down the bamboo basket, stretched out the hoe and pushed away the thick weeds, and looked inside, but there was only a dirty sack inside, and the blood stains on it were all condensed into black, which was the calf that had been hacked to death.

The man of the Wang family was not a bold person, and when he saw this sack, he immediately felt furious in his heart, thinking that something must be wrong. The calf had been in a sack for months, and even if it hadn't died, it would never have lived to be called now. At this time, the sky was getting dark, and no one could be left at night on this mountain, this was the rule, so the Wang family man thought about leaving quickly. But as soon as he turned around, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly noticed that the sack had moved, and then it had turned in a circle, and a pile of sand and branches and leaves had come towards him.
