Chapter 51 Drought! 3

The moon was dark and the wind was high, and the cold wind was blowing. The dusty people couldn't open their eyes. The cold wind poured into Chen Yanzi's neck along the collar. He was so cold that he trembled. He took out the half a catty of burning knife from his arms and poured a few bites of it fiercely. At this time, Chen cripples felt that he was a hero. Who dared to run in the middle of the night? Go up to the river embankment and dig graves? Only I, Chen Zanzi, have this courage. Thinking of this, Chen Lvzi laughed three times. He imagined himself as Guan Yunchang, and the shovel on his shoulder turned into a green dragon moon knife, and waved a few big steps to the river embankment.

As soon as Zhang Deli died, no one would sleep on the river embankment. Li Yang, who drank half a catty of spirits in the evening, came out of the house and arranged for someone to stay on the river embankment. However, he tried his best to stay. They all claimed that he would rather be deducted points than stay. Li Yang had no choice but to organize five or six donkey carts and pulled three back and forth. The machine and tools were pulled back the next time, and then they had to be pulled back again the next morning, so there was no one over the river embankment that night.

After a while, Chen cripples came to the cemetery where Alan was buried on the river embankment. There was no one nearby. It was gloomy, and the graves stood densely. The wind blew the grass on the grave head and made a "clattering" sound. In the dark, it was like a figure with teeth and claws.

Seeing this scene, Chen, who held a 'handy face' who didn't even dare to get close to ghosts, also felt a little scared. He poured the half catty of burning knife into his stomach. After shouting a few times, he came to the new grave where Alan was buried, picked up the iron and dug it up. As soon as he had dug a few shovels, the top of his head suddenly There was a strange laughter, and Chen's cripples feet softened. He sat on the ground with a "coo-dong". At this time, a crow flew over his head.

It turned out to be a false shock, but this time it scared Chen's cripples so much that the wine turned into cold sweat. The kind of pride when he came had long disappeared without a trace, and Guan Yunchang was almost scared into a little spleen.

After the mind calmed down, Chen lame picked up the shovel and continued to dig the grave. Soon the coffin cover was exposed. He felt a burst of joy in his heart, and the digging became more energetic. Soon the whole coffin appeared in front of him. Chen lamezi was already tired and gasped, but he did not pause at all. He couldn't wait to insert the shovel into the crack of the coffin. Pry it up vigorously, and the coffin nail soon fell off. The coffin lid was pried to the ground by him with a few "quacks". Alan was lying motionless in the coffin as if he was asleep. The appearance when he hung up disappeared, leaving only the deep strangulation mark on his neck.

Chen cripple swallowed his saliva desperately. It was really lustful from the bottom of his heart, evil to the side of courage. What kind of fatigue and fear has long been thrown out of the sky by him. At this time, if he summarizes his idea into one sentence, it is: it is better to die on the corpse than to be a ghost.

He took off his trousers and threw himself into the coffin.

After a long time, there were bursts of crying in the coffin. If you think it's a ghost crying, it's wrong. The crying was made by Chen Zanzi. Why did he cry? Listen to me.

Chen cripples lay naked on the naked female corpse and cried in a mess. He cried excitedly because he was happy. He thought to himself that my biggest wish in Chen cripple's life had come true. Finally, he tasted the taste of a woman and became a real man. He was so excited that he lay on the body and kissed from the beginning. In just two hours, the lame came five times. Later, he couldn't move. He lay on Alan exhausted and gasped. It was going to be dawn in a while, but he was really reluctant to leave. What should he do? ...

Suddenly, an idea came to him. He had an idea and decided to take Alan's body home...

Another day in a blink of an eye. On this day, Li Yang felt very tired. When he got home in the evening, he made a pot of tea and sat in a chair and gasped. It seemed that at a certain age, his physique was not as good as before. He sighed secretly and drank tea for a while. He felt better after sweating a lot. Li Yang took a breath, stood up and slowly walked to the appetizer field and pulled out a handful of coriander. He went back to the room to chop the coriander and put some oil and salt, and added a small spoonful of soy sauce. After mixing it evenly, he drank wine with green onions dipping sauce. Recently, it's getting colder and colder, and after a while, he didn't eat coriander.

After drinking Sanxun, the night was deep. After drinking, Li Yang felt less tired. Gradually, he felt that his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier. He nibbled his head, got into the quilt, and soon fell asleep.

In his sleep, Li Yang suddenly felt like he was lying beside him. He slowly opened his eyes and saw a white body beside him. He felt very scared. He really wanted to get out of bed and turn on the light in his heart, but his body was not obedient. It seemed that he had been completely controlled by desire. He couldn't help taking off his clothes and climb up to the body.

When Li Yang woke up, it was not yet dawn. He looked around and there was no one around. He opened the quilt and looked at it. He was as naked as yesterday. Everything that happened before was like a dream, but if it was real, why was there no one around now?

In this way, Li Yang will have the same dream every night. In the dream, he did his best to drive the fog with a **, and gradually reached the point where he couldn't stop, but what puzzled him was that the dream was too real, but if it was not a dream, he couldn't explain it, because he fell asleep inexplicably every night. He woke up wonderfully. When he woke up, there was a naked woman beside him, and then he tossed around with her uncontrollably... I don't know when he fell asleep in a daze again. When he woke up again, the woman disappeared. In the dark, he never saw the woman's face clearly. He wanted to get out of bed and light up, but he couldn't get down, because as long as As soon as this woman appears, she will be completely fascinated.

Before long, Li Yang lost a circle of weight, his eyes were deep, his face was pale, and he walked staggered as if he couldn't stand. When the villagers saw him, they felt like they had seen a ghost. When Li Yang saw the surprised eyes of others looking at him, he felt panic in his heart. He looked at his face in the mirror at home every day, and his face was getting whiter and whiter day by day. Day by day, there was no blood color, and my body also began to itch. The kind of itching of scratching my heart and liver could not stop it. Later, there were spots on my body. The more and bigger the spots grew, they gradually grew to the size of the lid of a wine bottle. As soon as I scratched it with my hand, it, the yellow water flowed.

On this day, Li Yang took Mr. Hu's tractor and went to the town and asked Lao Langzhong to take a look for him. Lao Langzhong looked left and right. He touched it and squeezed it for a long time. He said that he had willow disease that could not be cured. He prescribed some anti-itch medicine and sent him away. After coming out of Lao Langzhong's house, Li Yang bought some rouge in the town and returned When the family got down from the donkey cart, he had no strength. He held the wall and slowly moved into the house and fell on the kang. After gasping for half a day, he took out the bottle of rouge from his arms and applied it to his face. After applying it evenly, he looked left and right at the mirror for a long time. He felt that his face was white and red, which was no longer as pale as before...

The next morning, Li Yang smeared rouge on his face and staggered out of the house with a stick. The villagers were stunned when they saw each other. Before, they saw that Li Yang's ghost face was not bloody. Somehow, he suddenly turned red like a monkey. Was he possessed by Guan Gong? Everyone looked at each other in con's face, but I don't know why.

Liu, who went to the chicken coop to collect eggs, happened to meet Li Yang and laughed secretly when he saw his virtue

"Oh, Secretary, where are you going?" Liu honestly asked him with a smile on his face and a bad smile.

"Huh..." Li Yang snorted weakly and ignored him. He walked forward by himself, swung his waist, and looked like an 80-year-old man from behind.

Make you awesome, this is retribution, God gave it to you! Liu was gloating and scolding as he walked in his heart. After a while, he came to his chicken nest and gently opened the stone that blocked the door of the chicken nest. In the past, as soon as the stone was taken away, the chicken would jump up and down and jump out. But somehow there was no movement today. Liu honestly felt very strange. He put his face to the door and looked inside. He couldn't see anything clearly. Suddenly, he smelled a smell of blood.

Liu honestly said that it was bad, and he vaguely felt that something was wrong. After going home and getting the flashlight, he went to the chicken coop again and took a look inside with a flashlight. He couldn't help gas. He saw more than a dozen of his chickens lying straight inside and motionless, and their stomachs were opened and their internal organs were missing.

During the liberation period, this chicken was a baby! Not to mention so much death. Liu Laoshi was both distressed and surprised. How could a good chicken die like this? And the death was so strange. He carefully checked that all the chickens had no traces of struggle, as if lying motionless to be slaughtered, and the internal organs were dug out. If it was done by people, but the chicken nest door is very small and people can't get in at all. There has always been a legend of old civet in the village, if it is a fox. Dry, but the slate stuck in the peg and blocked the door of the chicken nest. The fox couldn't get in at all. Even if the cunning fox went in, it couldn't eat all the chickens. Even if it could eat it, why did it only eat internal organs? And the chicken won't struggle to let it eat? I really saw a ghost. Thinking of the ghost, Liu honestly felt nervous. He remembered the rare thing that his son encountered. He sighed that the village has not been peaceful recently! So without saying a word, he went to check some iron wood and strengthen his door. He didn't want to sleep at home in the middle of the night and be hollowed out by the ghost.

Before it was finished, the day after the strange death of the Liu family's chicken, it was rumored that the chickens and ducks of the two families died overnight. Whether it was a chicken or a duck, the way to die was the same, and the internal organs were dug. Then it was like infection. In the next few days, more chickens and ducks were dug out and died. In addition to chickens and ducks, there were also geese. Those villagers who raised poultry were afraid, saying that they must have been eaten by chickens. No one dared to go out at night, let alone check the chicken coop. They tied their own dogs to the side of the chicken coop, but it was useless at all. No, the chicken still died. The strange thing was that I didn't hear the dog barking at night. The next day, the dog was like suffering from depression. It didn't eat or drink or bark. It lay on the ground with a sad face, not to mention being aggrieved. The chicken-eating ghost seems to be only interested in poultry, and does not harm other animals or people. In such a short period of seven or eight days, the poultry in the village are dead, leaving only Ma Erpi's family with a chicken.

Why is there another chicken in Ma Erpi's family? Of course, there is a reason. This horse is in his sixties. He died his wife two years ago. He has no children under his knees and only one nephew, nicknamed Ma Bold.

Ma Erpi is also a famous figure in Xiushui Village. His fame comes from stinginess and greed for money. How stingy is he? Here is a famous thing about him. The thing is like this. It is said that one day, it rained heavily. Ma Erpi's neighbor went to the town for something to do. Before going out, he found that his boots were broken. When it rained, the country road was full of mud and it was difficult to walk without boots. So the neighbor borrowed boots from Ma Erpi and said that he bought a new pair in the town. When he came back, he gave it back to him. Because of his face, Ma Erpi didn't say anything, so he lent his boots to his neighbor. He told him not to break them. In the end, he was worried and braved the rain to see the neighbor to walk far away. The neighbor walked and accidentally stepped into a puddle and sprained his foot. Ma Erpi was heartbroken when he saw it. Trembling, the neighbor returned the boots to him after returning from the town. He saw that the boots were stained with a lot of mud and was heartbroken. On the surface, he didn't say anything and secretly made up his mind to earn it back.

Looking forward to it, I finally looked forward to the rain one day. Ma Erpi rushed to the neighbor's house and opened his mouth to borrow the boots. He also said that his pair was broken. The neighbor gave it to him without saying anything. Ma Erpi was secretly proud. This time, he could finally earn it back. After putting on the boots, he went wherever he went until it was dark and tired. I couldn't walk until I rushed home. When I got home, I felt that I couldn't relieve my hatred. I got into the quilt in my boots and kicked and kicked hard in the quilt. I was really weak and fell asleep. The next morning, Ma Erpi opened his sleepy eyes and took out his boots from the quilt and went to the neighbor's house. After the neighbor took the boots. Even claimed to thank him. At this time, he found that his boots were actually bright. He returned home in surprise. He lifted the quilt and found that it was full of mud.

Ma Erpi is such a person. He wants to find a catty when he uses him one or two. He picks up a piece of broken iron sheet on the street and has to take it home to wipe it and sleep. Ma Erpi has a chicken. Why does he only keep one? Because he raised too much food, he thought that the chicken only knew how to eat it. One day later, he drove the chicken to grab food from other people's chickens to eat. Recently, the chickens and ducks in the village died for no reason. Ma Erpi was afraid. At this time, he took the chicken as a treasure and locked it in the house and ate it in his arms every day. He ate a bite and fed the chicken. This chicken has never enjoyed this kind of treatment since he was a child. The chicken moves! Seeing that the master was so spoiled, he began to be unscrupulous and pooped everywhere in the house. This horse is not separated from the chicken every day, and he has to sleep in his arms at night. In short, he only has only one idea, that is, the chicken is in the place, and the chicken is dead, so the chickens in the village are dead, and only he is still alive.

But he said that that night, Ma Erpi slept with the chicken in his arms. When he slept until midnight, the chicken jumped out of his arms. Before going to bed, he forgot to close the window, and the chicken jumped out of the window.

After dawn, Ma Erpi woke up and found that the chicken was missing. He jumped down from ** and panicked. He ran out without wearing his shoes. After looking for a long time, he found his chicken in a vegetable field. He had already been dug out and died. The chicken stared at him, and his eyes were full of sadness, as if he was saying : You son of a child, it's okay if you can't hold it tightly. The window is not closed, and the old man jumped out and was eaten by the monster.

Ma Erpi's distressed "hiccup" suddenly passed away. When he woke up, he cried with the chicken in his arms. He took off his belt and was about to hang himself. He was ready to commit suicide. The passing villagers couldn't persuade him for a long time.

Liu Da Shao came to the crime scene when he heard the news. He saw that Mr. Ma cried miserably, and he also shed tears. Our Liu Da Shao has had a heroic plot since he was a child. It is said that he once bet with someone and slept in the cemetery all night, so he was also a little famous. Recently, he saw that people in the village were panicked because of dead chickens and ducks. He laughed secretly at the villagers' timidness. Now even this stingy chicken is dead. He thinks it's time for his hero to appear.

He secretly decided to find out the culprit of eating chicken and let everyone worship him like a hero.

After making up his mind, Liu Dashao appeased Ma Erpi for a while, and then praised Haikou in front of everyone, claiming that he wanted to catch chicken thieves alive! He decided to start investigating from the dam first, because the dam is a legendary place where foxes and ghosts often haunt. No matter whether you are a fox spirit or a ghost, you can't make trouble in front of my Liu Dashao. Thinking of this, he suddenly became heroic. It seems that all living things will be trampled under his feet. Master Liu is a little too big, and he doesn't want to think about himself. Jiyi doesn't know martial arts, and he doesn't know magic. If he really encounters a ghost, he can only be captured and wait to die.

After the nightfall, Liu Dashou changed into a patched cloth, picked up a bundle of grass rope and wrapped it around his waist. He cut a piece of cloth from a broken shirt and stabbed it on his head. Suddenly, he felt that he had become an ancient chivalrous man. Naturally, the knight had to have weapons. He ran into the inner room. After a while, he came out, he had more in his hand. An eyebrow stick (the iron fork after removing the head) danced a few times, but heard the wind. He walked out of the house with complacency. As soon as he went out, he poured it back. He opened the kitchen cabinet and took out a bottle of burning knife and put it into his arms. Then he walked out without hesitation. Some friends asked, why do they all drink knives? Because this kind of wine was popular in the old Northeast. It was strong and cheap. After a sip of it, it was hot all over the body. It can not only dispel the cold, but also refresh the spirit.

However, does Liu Dashao also need to be bold and refreshed?

Bah, you think he is so bold. He praised Haikou in front of everyone. There is no way back. If he doesn't dare to go, won't he change his name to Liu Xiaodan?

The weather was sunny this night, the breeze was blowing gently, and the moon was like a hook. It hung upside down on the dark sky. People had fallen asleep and were silent everywhere. The cold moonlight shone on the branches, casting shadows on the ground, which was even more strange. Liu Dashao came to the river embankment in a moment. At this time, everything could be seen clearly in the middle of the moon. Liu Dashao poured a few mouthfuls of knives and carried sticks on the river embankment for a long time. Except for the barren graves, there were fallen leaves on the ground, and he could not even see a ghost. He wandered around like this. He felt a little tired. Looking for He sat down in an open space and took out a burning knife and was about to pour it into his stomach. Suddenly, he heard a "ga". He was so scared that he threw the wine and lay on the ground. Then he heard a "ga" sound. This time, it was really loud. The sound came from a cemetery not far away. Liu Dashao lay on the ground. He didn't dare to move. Just as he was wondering what the sound was, he only heard a white shadow flying out of the cemetery and floated in the direction of the village like lightning.

Because the white shadow flew out and drifted away so fast, it disappeared before Liu Dashao could see what it was. Is there really a ghost? The cold sweat on Liu Dashao's body flowed down, but he had come to this point. Even the ghost had to explore. After made up his mind, Liu Dashao gritted his teeth and stood up from the ground. He saw that the white shadow was drifting in the direction of the village, so he staggered back.

Liu Dashao crept around the village for most of the day. At this time, he even suspected that he was the chicken thief. Looking at the moon shadow slanting to the west, it would be dawn in an hour or two. Obviously, he saw that the white shadow was floating in the direction of the village. Why did he disappear after chasing after him?

Liu Da Shao Nahan thought as he walked. When he first walked to the door of Lao San's house, he only heard a "rut" sound, and a white shadow rushed out of Li Yang's room next door.

Just as Liu Dashao walked to the corner behind the old third house, he only heard a "squip" and a white shadow came out of Li Yang's house next door. The white shadow quickly floated to the northeast and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Liu Dashao rubbed his eyes vigorously and looked up in the direction of the white shadow drifting away. He didn't see anything. Could it be said that this white shadow was the one he had seen on the river embankment before? But how did it fly out of Li Yang's house?

Liu Dashao was puzzled. Although he didn't see what it was, now he has basically concluded that it is either a fox spirit or a ghost. Liu Dashao only felt a chill in his heart. After a moment of hesitation, he walked in the direction of the white shadow.

After a while, Liu Dashao came to the east of the village. There were few people here. Except for the house where Alan lived, there was only the old willow tree behind the house. At this time, it was more than an hour before dawn. The moon was bright and the stars were thin, and the breeze blew the leaves on the treetops and made a noise. It seemed that there were countless insects and ants. It crawls in it. It is said that the old tree is old and has become a spirit, and there is an old fox spirit living in it.

Liu Dashao stood in a bush opposite the willow tree and spied out. He saw the reason for everything in the dark. He only heard the sound of the wind blowing the leaves in his ears. He suspected that the white shadow might be a fox spirit, which may be lurking in this big tree. After thinking about it for a long time, he thought about how much the fox could be. Great ability? Even if you become an essence, you can only confuse people. People like Liu Dashao like me will not be easily fascinated by it. There is no need to worry about the little fox. After thinking about this, I looked at the "eyebrow stick" in my hand, and my heart suddenly felt much calm. No matter what kind of fox spirit and ghost it is, as long as it appears, I will beat it up. Damn, I have to be disabled if I don't die.

Liu Dashao tightened his belt, clenched the stick, and gently approached the willow tree. He was alert and did not dare to be careless. He stepped on the dead branches and leaves. He felt like he was stepping on the mud. He was careful every step, as if he was afraid that he would fall into it if he was not careful. Suddenly, he had stepped on it. A hard ball-shaped thing stepped hard twice, and the thing actually squirmed. Liu Dashou was so scared that he farted. He turned around and wanted to run back. The thing suddenly "squeaked" and looked carefully that it turned out to be a big hedgehog.

Liu Dashao patted his chest and gasped for a few breaths. He sighed in his heart that he was almost destroyed by a hedgehog in his life. He picked up the "eyebrow stick" and poked it, and the hedgehog immediately twisted his buttocks and ran away.

Liu Dashao thought, I'm still strong enough to be in the face of danger. Even if a little hedgehog becomes a sperm, what can I do? Although I thought so in my heart, I really didn't dare to be careless. I bent down and played with the ground with a stick while looking for the depths of the reeds. After searching for a long time, I found nothing more than some withered grass and rotten leaves and unknown insects. I didn't even see any fox hair. I couldn't help but be a little happy in disappointment.

After searching for a long time, Liu Dashao felt a backache, so he straightened up and rubbed his long-bending waist with his hands. At this moment, the sky was slightly bright, and morning dew appeared on the grass leaves. Liu Dashao had no choice but to carry his eyebrow stick and knock on the door of the village head's house.

After Liu Dashao drank three teapots of water and described what happened last night, the village head shook his head. Although he felt a little strange in his heart, he could not be suspicious all day long, right?

But there are more and more strange things in the village. Today, the Zhang family loses chickens, and tomorrow the Li family will lose ducks. The villagers began to talk about it one after another, and they agreed with Liu Dashao's experience one by one. The target of the discussion is the big willow tree. In this way, the old man in the village asserted that the big tree had become a fairy village people who had to worship devoutly. Otherwise, once the immortals are blamed. A disaster is coming to the whole village!

Seeing the evil rumors in the village, the village head Tian pondered for a moment and said: If the strange things in the village really originated from the big willow tree. Then this tree is really famous! However, from a scientific point of view, no matter how afraid the tree is, it can't become an immortal!"

But he still decided to take time to find out in person under the big tree.

At dawn, the village head went under the big willow tree and mentioned the strange thing about the willow tree. The villagers talked about what they had seen and heard. Zhang Cheng, who lives in the west of the village, said: My family is the closest to the divine tree (since the big tree has a vision, the villagers have called it the divine tree. To show respect) I don't know how many chickens are filial to the old man. Although his tone is proud, his face shows a sad look. Many of the small livestock under the tree are gone. I think it's better to cut down the tree!" Liu Dashao interrupted, but he was immediately scolded by the white bald man of the village.

Village head Tian proposed to find some chickens and ducks to try tonight. Zhang Cheng's family volunteered to donate a chicken, but no one in the village wanted to accompany the village head to the tree to see the experiment at night for fear of offending the gods. Fortunately, Liu Dashao volunteered to come out as a companion at the critical moment.

After tying the chicken under the tree, the villagers went home to sleep one after another. Chief Tian and Liu Dashao set up a case about three feet away from the willow tree. Drink tea and chat. He couldn't help looking under the tree. Waiting for the result.

There was no abnormality until the second half of the night. The two were already sleepy and dozed off all the time. Liu Dashao kept saying that the village head Tian was looking for trouble. The village head was thinking that nothing might have happened tonight, and laughed at himself for being too credulous. Maybe the strange thing under the tree was fabricated by Liu Dashao, a bastard. As he thought about it, he glanced under the tree.

At this glance, it will never be taken back.

The chicken tied to the tree disappeared at some point.

Seeing this scene, although the village head was a little surprised at first, he was a little relieved. He gently called Liu Dashao, who was already drowsy. As soon as Liu Dashao saw that the chicken was gone, what's going on? Just scream, my grass, I really ate it! What kind of fairy dragon king is this? He knows how to harm the people of our village! Chief Tamura made a gesture to silence him. Then he gently walked under the tree and walked around the trunk.

Suddenly, he saw a person in red sitting in a tree hole with his back to him. It seemed that it should be a person, but the hole was so small. How did she get in?

The woman sat there motionless as if she had been frozen. Time seemed to stop, the air seemed to condense, and the dark room was full of a strange atmosphere. Director Tamura stood there and dared not get out of the atmosphere, and his heart was accelerating.

I don't know how long it took. Suddenly, the woman began to turn around slowly. To the surprise of village head Tian, when he turned around, he gradually saw the woman's side face and slowly saw her face. In a trance, the village head Nakata felt that this face was very familiar. When he looked carefully, he was almost called out in shock. This woman was the village. Alan, who has been dead for a long time.

Alan nestled straight there like this, with empty eyes and red wedding clothes all over her. Her exquisite and graceful body was concave and convex, which was completely presented in front of the village head. The village head of the village did not appreciate her body, but stared at her hand with moves. Her hand was tightly grasping a large black. If you look closely, it turns out that it is the animal's heart, liver and other internal organs, which are still dripping blood.

Alan stiffly raised his hand to grab the internal organs and put it to his mouth. He opened his mouth and bit it. She chewed and swallowed it. Her mouth was full of blood. The village head stood outside the tree and trembled like chaps. Soon Alan finished his internal organs, stretched out his tongue to lick the blood on his mouth, and then licked his hands clean. The mouth seems to have an endless aftertaste.

This kind of scene is so strange that the village head Tian didn't even know who he was and where he was. He only knew that he trembled all over. Suddenly, his head accidentally touched a branch and made a "bang". It sounded particularly harsh in the silence. Alan in the tree hole seemed to hear it, and his mouth suddenly After stopping and standing for a moment, he poked his head out of the tree.

Chief Tamura's feet seemed to be fixed, and his body did not belong to him. He stood there stupidly and could not move except trembling. He watched Alan stare straight at him with a pair of dull eyes, and a gloomy wind came to his face.

The village head couldn't stand any longer and crawled to the village.

A few hours later, more than a dozen militiamen with guns suddenly came to the village. One by one, their frozen faces turned blue and their hands kept stamping their feet. The villagers were immediately shocked. They came out of the house to see what had happened. But I saw that the village chief also followed.
