Chapter 373 The Weirdness of the Village
At this moment, behind the third grandma, I saw three sheep eating raw meat in the stone trough.

The sheep's mouth was full of bright red blood, and the source of the disgusting bloody smell came from here.

Seeing this scene, I instinctively backed away. Seeing my face full of fear, Mrs. Ding behind me quickly supported me and asked in surprise, "Yaoyao, what's wrong with you?"

I stared in horror at the scene of several sheep eating raw meat crazily, and said in shock, "Why is this sheep eating meat?"

"Sheep eat meat! Why don't you understand this common sense?"

The third grandma didn't think there was anything wrong at all, she giggled, picked up the minced meat that fell out of the sheep's mouth, and threw it into the trough, where it was immediately eaten by the lamb.

Mrs. Ding was stunned for a moment, as if she thought it was because I didn't understand common sense.

"Yaoyao, sheep are meant to eat meat, why are you making such a fuss?"

Her words made people feel that it is natural for sheep to eat meat, and it is completely taken for granted.

If I went back to the village yesterday and saw Uncle Wang’s dog eating grass, my aunt said that when the dog had a bad stomach, he would eat some grass to help him digest.

Apart from the fact that this answer can barely be believed, it is completely unacceptable to see sheep eating bloody raw meat now.

And, I suddenly remembered what the man in the paper hat had said to me.

Once I saw dogs eating grass, sheep eating meat, mice offering incense and weasels carrying coffins, I must leave the village as quickly as possible.

One thing is a coincidence, but if two things happen two days in a row, it will definitely not be that simple.

"Yaoyao, what's wrong with you?" Mrs. Ding shook her hand in front of my eyes.

My thoughts were pulled back.

I looked back at her, under the hazy reflection, although Mrs. Ding was talking to me, she was still smiling, but her smile looked a bit ferocious in my eyes.

Fear came flooding in like a tide. This kind of subversion of cognition and unreasonable things made people elusive.

Obviously, as long as normal people know all this clearly, the villagers seem to take it for granted, and other than that, everything is normal.

The unknown is even more frightening.

I panicked, forced a smile and said, "Sister-in-law, it's getting late, I...I'll go back first."

After I finished speaking, I was about to go out the door. Aunt Ding smiled and said, "It's still raining outside, so you can sit in the room for a while, and my sister-in-law will clean up the sheep pen and cook. After eating, go back."

"No, no, we ate late for lunch, and we're not hungry yet!"

I waved my hands repeatedly to refuse, and before she wanted to speak, I lowered my head and walked away from her quickly.

When I went out, I suddenly heard the low voice of the third grandmother in the back room, and asked Mrs. Ding: "Is Zhang Deng here?"

For some reason, hearing this strange name made my heart tremble again.

But after a while, Mrs. Ding didn't say anything.

The heavy rain outside still didn't stop, the sky was frighteningly dark, but I didn't dare to stay any longer, braving the heavy rain to rush home.

In the strong wind, the trees on the back mountain bent down. At this moment, it seemed that the sky was crying.

The village is really abnormal, and the ominous feeling is getting stronger and stronger, and it feels like something big is about to happen.

I walked home quickly in the rain, and when I opened the door, I couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

My aunt was busy cleaning the table in the main room, and when she saw me coming to the gate wet, she quickly said to me: "Your clothes are all wet, go and change in the room, don't catch a cold."

I didn't say anything, just stared at her for a while, and felt that I looked strange, my aunt said in confusion: "Yaoyao, what's wrong with you?"

Shaking my head, I forced a smile: "No, it's nothing, I'm going into the room to change clothes."

After entering the room, the sky outside the window was darker than before, with clouds and lightning intertwined, as if playing a dirge for death.

After changing clothes, when I left the room, I took a look at the stove room. Through the half-closed door, I saw steam coming out of the stove. with the top cover on.

I don't know if it's because of the rain, but the room is filled with air-conditioning.

"Auntie, what are you cooking?" I was a little curious because there was an unknown smell in the air, which was a bit unpleasant.

"Cook porridge!" My aunt raised her head, and suddenly smiled a little strangely: "Want to eat?"

"No." I refused straight away, realizing that I had overreacted, and gave an awkward smile: "Auntie, you forgot, I don't like porridge!"

My aunt nodded and said to me: "Cook when the porridge is done. You can play in the house for a while, and we will call you when we are done!"

"it is good!"

I felt that the atmosphere was a bit weird, and I didn't want to stay outside any longer, so I went straight into my room.

After closing the door, I leaned against the door and let out a long breath. I was slightly relieved, and suddenly felt something fluffy on my trouser leg rubbing against me.

I was so scared that I looked down and saw a cat at my feet.

It is black all over, with shiny black fur, and two dark green eyes looking up at me like two small green lights.

There are no cats in my house, let alone black cats. Generally speaking, black cats and black dogs are not very auspicious.

Its appearance often means that something bad is about to happen.

Moreover, I couldn't help but think of the scene where I saw sheep eating meat at Mrs. Ding's house.

The black cat rubbed against my feet a few times, then climbed onto the window sill, stretched itself, turned around, made a strange meow at me, and then jumped out.

I closed the window and sat on the bed, thinking about what had happened in the past two days.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

"Yaoyao, it's time to eat." Auntie's weak voice came from outside the door.

"I'm not hungry, you two eat, auntie!" I replied.

My aunt seemed unwilling to give up: "How can I not eat dinner, it's still early tomorrow!"

I was about to speak when the door handle suddenly turned by itself, making a slight 'squeak' sound.

My heart was beating wildly, before I had time to say anything, the door opened suddenly, and half of my aunt's face was exposed through the crack of the door.

"Yaoyao, it's time to eat!" Auntie smiled and repeated what she said just now.

"Well, good! I'll come out right away!" Taking a deep breath, I didn't refuse this time.

After going out, when the food was served on the table, my face was slightly gloomy.

There were three holes in the rice, and some incense ash was missing, and there was a whole chicken on the plate, the same.

My eyelids twitched a few times: "Auntie, is this meal offered?"

The aunt nodded without hiding it, said that she had confessed to grandma, and said that it should not be wasted.

Lin Hansheng next to him didn't seem to feel anything wrong.

I raised my head and looked at each other. Under my aunt's smile, I wanted to say something, but I swallowed it back.

I had no choice but to bite the bullet and eat a small grain of rice. Seeing this, my aunt smiled even wider.

But the rice was half-cooked, with uncooked rice in the middle, and it was hard to swallow at all.

But my aunt and Lin Hansheng didn't feel any discomfort at all. The half-baked whole chicken was still stained with raw blood, but my aunt ate it with relish.

The scene in front of me made people shudder, and I stopped after eating the young couple.

My aunt had a good appetite, and after wolfing it down, she asked Lin Hansheng to serve the soup.

The taste of the soup is very strong. When the lid is opened, the soup is black and red, with a strong fishy smell, which is disgusting.

My aunt filled a bowl and handed it to me, and said with a smile: "You have lost weight, drink more bone and meat soup to replenish your body!"

"I'm stuffed."

I waved my hand, but my aunt had already put the soup in front of me.

"Drink more while it's hot!"

I didn't move, but changed the subject and said, "When I was at Mrs. Ding's house, I saw her sheep eating meat."

When I asked, I paid attention to the expressions on their faces.But they were still not surprised, as if it was normal.

"Sheep are born to eat meat, Yaoyao, this is common sense, you should have learned it in school!"

I looked at my aunt who was sitting across from me with a smile on my face, and my body shivered involuntarily.
