Chapter 25: Slaughter

In the middle of the village.

There is a slaughtering table in the clearing.

Usually the village will come here to kill pigs and cattle, one is to kill the animals conveniently, and the other is to kill and sell.

Especially pigs.

Pigs are full of treasures and can be eaten.

They were slaughtered on the spot, and the villagers bought whatever they wanted.

If you want pig's trotters, pig's ears, or pig's large intestine, you will be given a cheap price.

No, today Chenjiacun is going to kill a pig again.

It was none other than Chen Agou who killed the pig.

The good meat prepared for Lin Yi in the village yesterday was all ruined by the village chief's dog.

The villagers did not dare to snub the Taoist chief, and discussed killing another pig.

Chen Agou volunteered, caught a fat pig at home, pulled it to the slaughtering table early in the morning, tied it up, sharpened his knife and prepared to slaughter.

Nearby villagers rushed to see it.

After a while, there were several floors around it.

Boom!

Chen Agou sharpened a bright pig-killing knife, sharpened extremely sharp.

Beside him, the pig lying on the slaughtering table struggled and howled, similar to that of a prisoner on the execution ground.

After sharpening the knife, Chen Agou took a wooden basin and put it under the pig's neck to catch blood.

Pig blood is also a good thing and should not be wasted.

"Start a fire, boil water. ”

A few young people next to him came to help, set up a large cauldron, and after a while, the water in the pot was boiled hot, and it was used to scald the hair.

A large board was placed behind the stove and used to chop meat.

Everything was ready, Chen Agou rolled up his sleeves, spat on his spit, picked up the pig-killing knife and walked to the slaughtering table eager to try.

The pig seemed to know that it was going to die, and let out a terrible cry of sorrow.

One after another.

Both eyes were wet, and two tear stains flowed.

"Huh!"

Chen Agou was shocked, he had killed so many pigs, and he had never seen anyone crying.

But a beast is a beast, and sooner or later it will have to be slaughtered.

Chen Agou didn't think much about it, and raised his sharp knife to aim at the pig's neck.

"Don't kill!

At this moment, suddenly a person rushed in, screaming desperately.

Chen Agou put down the knife and turned around to see that it was Xiao Cui Niang.

Xiao Cui Niang wandered around the village, and just now she slipped to the slaughterhouse, and when she saw that Chen Agou was going to kill the pig, she was so frightened that she screamed.

She ...... She's your daughter-in-law, you can't kill her!"

The villagers were stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter.

No one takes a madman's words seriously.

Chen Agou's face was red, and he said: "Xiao Cuiniang, you are crazy, I don't care about you, go away!"

Xiao Cuiniang was so anxious that she jumped and jumped, "Dog, she ...... She's really your daughter-in-law, you see she's crying, don't kill her!"

Everyone laughed even harder and started joking.

"Dog, you don't have a daughter-in-law, can't you bear the loneliness and give your sow to ...... Haha!"

"This daughter-in-law is good, white and fat, haha!"

In the face of everyone's teasing, Chen Agou's face turned even redder, "Don't listen to a madman's nonsense, I'll slaughter the pig and give you meat!"

With that, he raised his butcher knife and aimed it at the pig's neck.

"Slow!"

Chen Agou was just about to go under the knife, and when he heard someone stop him, he immediately became angry.

Didn't Lao Tzu just kill a pig, where did there be so many things!

He turned around angrily, and when he saw Lin Yi's face, Chen Agou became honest and said, "...... Governor. ”

The villagers didn't dare to giggle and respected.

Just now, Lin Yi went to Chen Agou's house, but he didn't find Chen Agou's daughter-in-law in the pigsty, and he suddenly felt bad.

After asking the neighbors, I found out that Chen Agou was going to kill pigs today.

He hurried to the slaughterhouse, but fortunately it was in time.

"Dao Chief, you won't let me kill the pig," Chen Agou scratched his head, "Just now Xiao Cui Niang said that this pig is my daughter-in-law, you said it's funny, hehe." ”

No one dared to laugh.

Because Lin Yi had a straight face, his expression was extremely cold.

"She is indeed your daughter-in-law. ”

Hearing this, Chen Agou was stunned.

The villagers who watched the excitement were also stunned.

Could it be that the Taoist is the same as Xiao Cuiniang, crazy?

Only a few villagers who had just come out of Dazhu's house knew the truth and stepped forward to untie the pigs on the slaughtering table.

"Dao Chief, you ...... Are you kidding?"

Chen Agou's hand holding the pig-killing knife kept trembling.

His eyes widened like brass bells.

Lin Yi stepped forward, patted the pig's ear, and said, "If you are a dog's daughter-in-law, nod your head." ”

The pig snorted and nodded its head laboriously.

Bang Dang!

The knife in Chen Agou's hand smashed to the ground.

His legs went limp, and he collapsed to the ground, "This...... What's going on!"

The villagers were also puzzled.

Lin Yi roughly explained, saying that Chen Agou's daughter-in-law was not eaten by the monster, but turned into a pig, so she did not leave any traces of blood and clues after her disappearance.

The situation is the same for the five missing people in the village.

After listening, Chen Agou howled and cried, not caring about the dirty smell, and stepped forward to hug the pig's neck.

One person and one pig, hugging each other and crying.

"Daughter-in-law, poor daughter-in-law!"

"I almost killed you, woo, I'm sorry!"

Lin Yi was naturally not interested in Chen Agou and his wife, but Xiao Cui Niang.

After solving the crisis, his eyes never left Xiao Cui Niang.

At this time, seeing the reunion of the husband and wife, Xiao Cuiniang danced happily, smiling like a flower on her face.

"Sister-in-law, can you come with me? ”

Lin Yi stepped forward and said.

"Oh. ”

Xiao Cuiniang seemed to have a good impression of Lin Yi and agreed defenselessly.

The two of them walked one after the other to the far corner.

Lin Yi's face suddenly turned cold, and he asked, "Sister-in-law, how do you know that pig is Ah Gou's daughter-in-law?"

Xiao Cui Niang smirked twice, "It was Xiao Cui who told me, she said that Ah Gou's daughter-in-law became a fat pig, and Xiao Zhu became a sheep, and said that she didn't let me tell others, hehe, I listened to the girl." ”

It turned out that Xiao Cuiniang had already known the truth.

But even if she said it, no one would believe her.

Who would believe the words of a madman?

Lin Yi pursed the corners of his lips, "What else did Xiaocui say to you?"

Xiao Cui Niang shook her head and fiddled with her hair blankly.

Lin Yi simply asked directly, "Sister-in-law, did Xiaocui say where she lives, Poor Dao is Xiaocui's friend and wants to see her." ”

Xiao Cui Niang gritted her teeth and thought hard, and said, "She said that she lives in the mountains. ”

After that, he pointed to the Qingqiu Mountain behind the village, "The girl also said that she can't go down the mountain during the day, and she can only come to see me at night, so I miss her." ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Cuiniang looked aggrieved, "It would be nice if the girl was always by my side, I will be a child like her......"

Lin Yi smiled bitterly, and couldn't bear to puncture Xiao Cuiniang's fantasy.

How could she know that the daughter she saw was actually a monster.

The real Xiaocui has long since died.

"Sister-in-law, did Xiao Cui leave anything behind?" Lin Yi continued to ask.

Xiao Cui Niang thought about it seriously, and then shook her head.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up and she said, "By the way, I have her hair." ”

"The night before yesterday, I secretly pulled it out while she wasn't paying attention. ”

"Hehe, I touch her hair when I think of her during the day. ”

Xiao Cuiniang said as she pulled it to her chest, and sure enough, she took out a handkerchief.

The towel is very clean and neatly folded.

In stark contrast to the sloppiness of her body.

She opened it cautiously, smirking ostentatiously.

There are a few hairs on the handkerchief.

The fur is snow-white, shaggy, and curly.

Apparently not hair.

How could Xiao Cui's hair be white.
