Chapter 453: Snowstorm Cures the Wolf KingThis glimpse in a trance made Xiong Gang uneasy.
He didn't think it was an illusion.
Because he himself is a monster, he knows that evil does exist, and he believes his own eyes.
So before the coffin was buried, he stayed near the coffin to keep vigil for Uncle Wang, both to show his sincerity and to protect the village when monsters were causing trouble.
But seven days passed, and until the coffin was buried, nothing unusual happened. Perhaps the evil spirit also discovered Xiong Gang, so it deliberately avoided this village.
Uncle Wang’s death did not bring much change to the village.
The village soon had a new veterinarian named Wang Lang. He had dark skin, a thin and hunchbacked figure, but his skills in treating livestock were no less than Uncle Wang's, and he also had a way to calm livestock down quickly.
As a result, Xiong Gang lost his job as a veterinary assistant.
The uncles and aunts in the village began to help Xiong Gang find a partner. Although Xiong Gang had a fierce face, he was honest and upright, and very capable at work. In the eyes of the villagers, he was an excellent candidate for son-in-law.
Xiong Gang was busy dealing with these uncles and aunts every day, and gradually let down his guard.
then.
A strange thing happened.
Three large white geese were lost from Uncle Li's house in the south of the village, near the threshing ground. Aunt Li searched for them all day long, cursing and swearing, but found nothing.
Xiong Gang enthusiastically helped Aunt Li look for it, but found that Aunt Li had a strong smell of raw goose.
Three days later, two sheep mysteriously disappeared from the home of Uncle Wang's younger brother Wang Laoer at the east end of the village. Xiong Gang followed the smell and found the place where Wang Laoer grazed the sheep. He found a pool of blood and some sheep bones in the grass. It seemed that the two sheep had been eaten by some large beast.
Livestock losses occur time and again.
The atmosphere in the village became depressing. Everyone looked at each other with some kind of scrutiny. No one proposed marriage to Xiong Gang anymore, because Xiong Gang, who had just lost his job, had no land, and was overly enthusiastic, was also suspected by the villagers.
In order to prove his innocence, Xiong Gang patrolled the village all night.
However, incidents of livestock loss continued to occur one after another. Xiong Gang had obviously tried to be as fast as possible, but he was always a step late. By the time he arrived at the scene, the livestock had either disappeared or only bones were left, and the owners had the strongest odor on them.
Xiong Gang almost suspected that all this was directed and acted by the villagers to trick him.
soon.
The first human victim appears.
That night, a woman's shrill scream was heard in the village. The sound came from Uncle Zhang San's house.
Xiong Gang mobilized his inhuman strength and ran over as soon as possible.
Then he saw that Uncle Zhang's daughter was lying on the ground with lifeless eyes. Uncle Zhang, dressed in black, was lying on the side with his head buried in his daughter's abdomen, eating mouthfuls of food.
When Uncle Zhang San raised his head, Xiong Gang clearly saw that his entire face was dyed blood red, his eyes were emitting a strange light, and the expression on his face was like a mad wild dog!
Xiong Gang's mind was confused.
Just two days ago, Uncle Zhang was smilingly trying to match Xiong Gang with his daughter. How come it turned out like this today?
By the time Xiong Gang came to his senses, other villagers had also rushed over after hearing the noise and surrounded Uncle Zhang San's house. Uncle Zhang San lay on his daughter's body, wailing in pain, and occasionally cast hateful glances at Xiong Gang.
Xiong Gang also noticed.
Uncle Zhang's clothes changed from black to gray.
In this atmosphere, it was really difficult for Xiong Gang to tell what he had seen before. Even if he told it, no one would believe it.
But the murder of Uncle Zhang's family gave Xiong Gang an idea.
Uncle Wang, Uncle Zhang, Uncle Li...
All those who have been killed in their families recently like to default on their veterinary treatment bills, and it seems that they have recently invited a new veterinarian named Wang Lang to come and check on their livestock!
Perhaps all this was caused by the new veterinarian who was dissatisfied with the unpaid veterinary fees.
So Xiong Gang pushed through the crowd and came to veterinarian Wang Lang's house angrily.
As soon as he walked in.
A strong smell of blood was smelled. A skinless man was standing in the yard. The man just stood there straight, blood slowly flowing down his body, and some flies active in the dark pounced on him to enjoy a delicious meal.
After a while.
A set of black clothes floated over from the darkness.
This piece of clothing was exactly the black shroud that Uncle Wang wore when he was buried!
The shroud was automatically put on the skinless figure, and the man's skin grew back in the blink of an eye, turning back into the appearance of Veterinarian Wang.
Veterinarian Wang Lang did not say anything. Instead, he gave Xiong Gang a strange smile and shouted for help towards the sky.
"Help!"
"The bear just killed someone!"
After shouting, black hair grew on Wang Lang's body and he turned into a strange human-shaped dog, which pounced towards Xiong Gang. Xiong Gang had no choice but to reveal his true form and fight with the big dog.
The bear and the dog fought, and the winner was soon decided.
The big dog returned to his original appearance as Wang Lang and fell to the ground, but he was only wearing his underwear. The black shroud had disappeared at some point.
When the villagers heard the cry for help, they rushed over and saw veterinarian Wang Lang lying in a pool of blood, and Xiong Gang standing in front of the corpse, with blood all over his body and mouth!
It is clear what this scene represents.
The villagers quickly "deduced" a story that Xiong Gang held a grudge against the villagers and veterinarian Wang Lang because of Uncle Wang's death, so he stole livestock and killed people.
For a moment, Xiong Gang was speechless.
But he still remembered the black shroud, so he shook off the villagers who were chasing him and came to Aunt Wang's house.
At this time, Aunt Wang was sitting on the earthen kang wrapped in a quilt. She looked haggard and looked at Xiong Gang who rushed into the room with surprise.
"Aunt Wang, I want to know why Uncle Wang didn't treat the dog, and what's the matter with the black shroud?"
Aunt Wang was stunned for a moment and told a long-forgotten story.
……
When Uncle Wang was young, the village was very poor, and he, as a veterinarian, was the treasure of the village.
One night, after it had snowed, someone knocked on the door in the middle of the night.
The man was hunched over and looked thin. He said that his dog was dying, and he wanted Uncle Wang to go with him. If he could cure the dog's illness, he would be rewarded generously.
Uncle Wang didn't think much and followed the man out.
But as he walked, he found that this man had led him into the deep mountains and forests. He wanted to escape back to the village, but there were many black wolves in the forest staring at him.
Soon they came to a cave. At the end of the cave lay an old black wolf. The wolf had a large skeleton and looked very old, with a huge wound on its leg.
Uncle Wang, trembling with fear, gave the old wolf an injection of veterinary anesthesia and performed a simple suture on the wound.
After the wound was sutured, the old wolf actually spoke in human language.
"We are still in need of a doctor in our wolf pack. Which wolf do you like? I will peel off its skin and put it on you, and then you will be a member of our wolf pack."
Uncle Wang was so frightened that he lost the ability to think.
Suddenly, a gunshot broke the silence of the night.
It turned out that it was Aunt Wang who came with the men in the village.
At that time, Aunt Wang had not yet married Uncle Wang. She went out to the toilet at night and unexpectedly saw Uncle Wang walking into the mountains in a daze. She leaned over to take a look and found that there was only Uncle Wang's footprints on the snow, and the other footprint was from a wolf!
She told the village chief about this, and he brought all the men in the village to rescue the people.
In that era, many people living in the mountain villages were hunters, and everyone had a gun. They followed the footprints and soon found the wolf pack's lair. They easily killed a large number of black wolves with firearms.
The leader, the old wolf, wanted to escape, but he was injured and had been given anesthesia, so he could only be used as a target by humans.
It is said that it was shot more than a dozen times before it died...
