Judging from the reflections in the windows, people were getting dressed and going out, and some were already coming out with lanterns.
"What's going on? Why are you still awake in the middle of the night and already slaughtering pigs?"
"You shouldn't slaughter New Year pigs at this time. You think the money is too much."
"That's really fierce! We need to go check what's going on!"
The people of Ganglie Town were either hunters, butchers, or professional pig egg makers. Who hadn't grown up listening to the sounds of pigs? Ordinary noises couldn't wake them up.
It highlights the idea that "the smell of pigs heralds a good harvest, and the sound of pigs cries can be heard". The more pigs cry, the happier and more secure you feel in your heart.
But the pigs' squeals tonight were different. Just listening to them made people feel uneasy.
Uncomfortable!
"I only now feel that this town is inhabited. When I first came in, it was completely silent." While Chu Wuzhi complained, he protected Madam Jiang tightly, not letting her leave his arms for a moment, and hugged her all the time.
Following the local people, they came to the pig farm. Chu Wuzhi was tall, and he could get a glimpse of the situation inside by standing just outside the low earthen wall of the yard.
"Young Master, let Madam Jiang ride on your neck. I can't see!" The Fox Goddess was dissatisfied. Chu Wuji could see easily, but Madam Jiang was too short to be seen, and she couldn't see the details either.
"How can this be good..."
When Madam Jiang was still thinking that it was inappropriate, Chu Wuji had already picked up her mature and delicate body. Madam Jiang had no choice but to cooperate and put her legs on both sides of his shoulders.
Because the beautiful woman was nervous, no matter what happened at night or her current state, her body with a slim waist and plump hips was unconsciously tensed, and her elastic and tight white legs subconsciously used the strength from her daily exercise.
Chu Wuji didn't remind anyone and just focused on watching the fun.
Inside the pig farm, the smell of blood mixed with the body odor of pigs could be seen at a glance. Bloodstains were scattered everywhere, as well as scattered limbs and pieces of meat.
The entrance to the pigpen was temporarily blocked with a table, which was almost broken. Finally, a brazier was poured there, which stopped the pigs from escaping.
One of the workers at the pig farm had his arm torn off. He looked terrified and pale, and was protected by others.
Everyone who saw it frowned and gasped, thinking that there was a pig thief. How could such a scene be created?
"Did someone really get eaten by a pig?!" Someone said this.
The pig farm owner lived a little further away and had just arrived. He looked at his pig farm in astonishment:
"what happened?!"
"A biting pig has escaped!" a pig farm worker replied hurriedly, he was shocked and panicked, and his words were incoherent.
"Why was he bitten by a pig for no reason? Why did he reach out to him for no reason?"
"A five-toed pig was leading the charge in eating the other pigs in the pen. Even hitting them with a stick wouldn't make them run away. In a short while, they had eaten two. I had no choice but to go into the pen to stop them."
Is it luring people into the pigpen?!
This thought came to the pig farm owner's mind. He looked at the guy who was bleeding profusely, his scalp tingled and goose bumps appeared on his arms.
At this moment, a loud shout came from one direction of the town:
"Someone come quickly, I can't hold this big pig down anymore!"
The people ran over quickly and saw the foreign boy, Lu Guan, riding on the pig's back, with a rope around its neck, pulling hard.
The hemp rope, which was as thick as a child's arm, was almost torn apart by the pig.
"Even wild boars don't seem to have this kind of momentum..."
Although the people were surprised, they all went up to the battle and hit the pig's head with clubs, but they couldn't knock it unconscious!
Chu Wuji kicked a small stone from a distance. The stone flew through the crowd, passed through the pants and crotches of several people, leaving a trail of sparks, and hit the pig's head accurately, knocking it unconscious, and finally stopped the chaos.
"What was that just now? Why is my crotch so cold?"
"Me too, I just felt a tightness for no apparent reason!"
"This pig is really fierce. It makes people feel uncomfortable just looking at it..."
The five-toed pig temporarily lost its ability to struggle and was dragged back to the pig farm and the crime scene by the people working together.
On normal days, there might be people who would be greedy and knock out a pig and take it home to eat secretly, but who would have the courage to do that now?
Although it had nothing to do with them, everyone was watching what happened next.
The people who ran the pig farm looked at the pig with serious expressions, no longer relaxed as they were during the day, and they were all at a loss.
The pig farm owner was the boss. He found a bowl of muddy wine to calm his nerves and asked the injured man:
"Is it the one that bit your hand?"
"Yes..." the injured guy said in pain. Panic was his only painkiller at the moment.
The most fortunate thing was that the pig had a very strong bite force and it tore the guy's arm off before he could react. Otherwise, if he fell to the ground and was dragged into the pig herd, he would have been killed!
Another farm worker, who was not on duty today and had escaped the disaster, looked at the five-toed pig and recalled:
"That's not right. I recognize this pig. It wasn't this big during the day. It was about the size of a big yellow dog. How did it suddenly become so big?!"
This five-toed pig is now big enough to be sold.
A hunter brought a cage and a trap and temporarily threw the five-toed pig in to lock it up to avoid chaos when it woke up.
The pig farm owner looked at the foreign boy, swallowed his saliva, and said:
"Kid, I was wrong about you during the day. In this situation...what should I do now?"
Lu Guan was with his female companion. Faced with the pig farm owner's questions, he actually had no idea what to do.
At his age, he is not even the chief surgeon when slaughtering the New Year pig in his hometown, so how would he know how to handle it?
"Boss, to be honest, I'm not an expert. I've only learned the art of butchering pigs for two years. But just two months into my job, I was careless and slaughtered a five-toed pig. After I finished, I saw the yellow fat and realized I had to put down my knife and go out and fight..."
The fat of pigs is all white, but the fat of five-toed pigs is different. It is yellow when cut. It is said that the fat layer of human flesh is yellow.
Lu Guan hesitated and said, "I don't know what to do. How about you offer this pig to the City God?"
"This is a small place. Even the small land temple is abandoned and the statues are broken. Where does the City God Temple come from?" said some people.
"Cut off one of this pig's toes, so it's no longer a five-toed pig, right?"
"You are such a genius!" Others gave a thumbs up.
At this time, some busybodies started to make a fuss with ill intentions, and said suspiciously:
"Outlander, they say it's unlucky to kill a five-toed pig. Could it be that you caused this pig to mutate? This has never happened here before!"
As soon as this voice appeared, many people looked at the two outsiders differently. Just now they thought he was young and brave, but now they regarded him as a disaster.
Ganglie Town has been raising pigs for many years, and there has never been such a strange mess. But bad luck came as soon as he arrived!
Lu Guan blocked his companions behind him, blocking everyone's vigilant gaze. He was speechless and had doubts in his heart:
Could it really be me...?
Chu Wuji didn't want to see the situation worsen, for he was afraid that things would develop in a direction that he didn't like. If he was instigated by the people who were making trouble, all the responsibility would be put on the two young people.
He stabilized the situation for the time being and said loudly:
"I'll buy this pig, and I'll pay for the few pigs I just lost as well. Just consider it as money for watching a lively show!"
Chapter 367: Pig-to-human transmission
To be honest, if we really have to say who is the disaster star, Chu Wuzhi feels that he has a lot of blessings on his shoulders, and it is not this young man's turn.
However, Chu Wuji was very confident that this matter had nothing to do with him, because the backlash of good fortune would more likely affect his spiritual practice. Being able to embark on the path of practice was the greatest blessing in the world, and he didn't see his female companions being affected by him on weekdays.
Now it has not reached the point where it affects a pig and makes it go crazy.
Chu Wuji asked quietly, "Goddess Tianhu, mother, and aunt, do you see anything unusual about this big pig?"
Bai Sujin and her sister Xiaoqing were wrapped around the same arm of Chu Wuji. The sisters all lowered their heads on the back of Chu Wuji's hand, watching the situation outside.
Aunt Green Snake, who had not wanted to get up before, now got up to watch the fun, looking quite energetic. She said:
"There's really nothing wrong with this pig. It doesn't even have any demonic aura. But now I can definitely sense a strong karmic aura. It's a very vicious and violent nature. In other words, it's a strong demonic aura. You can see it in butchers and executioners."
Chu Wuji wondered if this so-called karma was the same as the one from the Black Snake Mother?
He could see the demonic energy on Xuan Yi, but the big pig didn't notice it, perhaps because it wasn't deep enough.
"My thoughts are the same as the little green snake's. If you really want to confirm what's different about this big pig, just kill it and take a look at its soul to satisfy your curiosity."
The Fox Goddess was a man of action, but her tone wasn't strong enough, and she lacked interest in such matters.
Such strange things about half-demons and half-evil people lack appeal to the Fox Goddess and are not as interesting as the gossip on the streets.
At that moment, the pig farm owner came over and asked in disbelief:
"Sir, do you really want to buy this five-toed pig? It's a thorny creature, difficult to handle. It'll be a disaster if you let it go. Who knows, it might take advantage of the situation to trick people into eating them!"
I don't see that this boss has any bottom line. I thought he would be eager to cut his losses.
All eyes nearby were focused on him, the unfortunate victim. Mrs. Jiang was a little nervous, fearing that if she rode on the child, Chu Wuzhi would be subject to strange discussions.
Chu Wuji's reaction was indifferent. He said calmly:
"Yes, there are many ways to deal with it. Don't worry, let it fall into the river and drown, or get lost in the snow and freeze to death. There are many ways to deal with it."
The pig farm owner took the silver from Chu Wuji and returned most of it, only accepting the money for one pig. He said:
"Selling the unlucky pig to you is already inappropriate. You should only take the money for this one. How can you expect you to pay for the others that were eaten?"
Chu Wuji was too lazy to argue and took back the money.
The young man Lu Guan came over and bowed deeply to express his gratitude, almost kneeling down. He naturally recognized the young man who had treated him to a pot of stewed meat. Now that he saw Chu Wuji coming forward, he thought that he was helping him out, so how could he not be grateful?
"My benefactor, this five-toed pig is very powerful. It can bring out the ferocity of other pigs. I've already killed one, so why don't I help you kill it..."
Lu Kai, a girl from his fellow village, pulled his hand and tried to dissuade her companion from his ominous thoughts.
Chu Wuji just asked curiously:
"This kind of pig can't be killed or eaten. It can only be offered to the City God Temple. Is there no other way to deal with it?"
Lu Kai thought for a moment and said:
"Yes, in some places they will release it into the mountains to fend for itself. Others will give it a gourd, saying that this kind of pig will carry the gourd around begging for food. But this pig is too fierce, so we can't just let it go."
After chatting for a while, the five-toed pig woke up and slammed the cast iron cage fiercely, bending it and knocking itself unconscious.
The people were all amazed: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, it seems like he really is in a hurry to reincarnate and become a human being again. He's not afraid of the pain at all!"
The owner of the pig farm suddenly knocked on the iron basin. This time he could see clearly that there were indeed several pigs in the pigpen staring at people. There was blood in their mouths, most of which were probably from eating each other at night.
However, they do not have extra toes. They must have been stimulated to be ferocious by this strange pig. When they are needed to be sold later, they can be killed in advance.
Those people who had been making a fuss earlier still hadn't given up. Such a rare and strange thing had happened in the peaceful village, and now it was about to end peacefully. It was a bit boring.
"We've dealt with the five-toed pigs this time, but what about the future? Who knows, this kid might have planted the seeds of trouble. If these pigs appear frequently here in the future, will we be able to survive?"
"Really? We can't expect someone to pick up the bill every time, right?"
Chu Wuji turned his head and glanced at those people, and asked in confusion:
"Do these two young men have any grudges against you? Why do they always seem to be stirring up trouble?"
Chu Wuji did not use the hostile look he used to have, but those people were essentially dark in nature, and liked to do some bad things behind others' backs. They didn't have to do it for their own benefit, but they were happy as long as they could harm others!
Now that they were named in public, they were under everyone's gaze, feeling guilty but unable to save face.
He dodged his gaze for a moment and continued stubbornly:
"Young master from a foreign land, we are just preparing for a rainy day and thinking ahead! Who can predict what will happen next? This concerns the livelihood of our Ganglie Village."
When the issue is linked to the people's food security, even the smallest matter will be magnified infinitely, causing panic.
Everyone has witnessed this pig monster with their own eyes. Who would dare to take the issue of eating lightly?
Miss Lu Kai was filled with anger and scolded:
"We have only been here for a few days. This pig was not born when we arrived. It has been a five-toed pig for a long time. Why are you blaming us?
If we hadn't caught this pig just now, it would have sneaked into the mountains and attacked you all at random, and you would have died sooner or later! Do you still need to worry about whether you can eat next year? "
After these words were spoken, those people were speechless. They had already said what they wanted to say, and now they could only force their own words and insist that it was related to the two children.
The Fox Goddess is now beginning to laugh at the joke:
"I'm already a grown-up, but a little girl has forced me to act like a spoiled brat. How embarrassing!"
