Chapter 560 Yangcun (26)

In the middle of the night, Yang Village was in chaos, and the noise of the villagers spread to the vicinity of the granary.

Rongzhuang came back from outside the granary: "They gathered at the village chief's house, probably to discuss what happened tonight."

"The villagers should have no time to trouble us. We are relatively safe here." Miao Bai said.

After saying that, Miao Baiyu glanced at Yinsu.

Yinsu sat aside, supporting his chin with one hand and resting his elbow on his knees.

Sensing Miao Baiyu's gaze, she glanced sideways, and then nodded cooperatively: "You're right."

Miao Baiyu: "..."

That's not what he meant.

Su Yuechan placed the sheep's head in the middle, and her strange horizontal pupils were covered by something.

She stared at those eyes, and after a moment, she suddenly said: "The 'people' we saw are 'sheep', and they should be some kind of pollution. When entering Yangcun, everyone will be stared at by these eyes..."

They thought the eyes were strange and avoided looking into them.

But what if you don’t need to look at each other?

Will it be contaminated just by being seen by it?

Because they were polluted when they entered the village, those abducted people looked like sheep.

"So just now on the boat, we saw those people still looking like sheep."

"It's our perception that's distorted."

It is they themselves who are polluted, and this understanding will take effect whether they leave the village or not.

What the villagers think of as a ‘sheep’ looks like a sheep to them.

As for that person...she was probably not regarded as a sheep, but because of the special needs of a certain villager, so she looked like a human being in their eyes.

After making a rough guess, Su Yuechan looked at everyone: "Should I dig out my eyes and take a look?"

Miao Baiyu nodded: "Okay."

The source of the pollution has been found, and we can try to destroy it.

Some can decontaminate, some can't.

Su Yuechan took out a sharp piece of metal, pulled open the cloth covering the sheep's head, and inserted the metal directly into the sheep's eyes.

"Zizzi..."

Almost immediately, the flashlight for lighting began to flicker.

The figures of the players standing in the granary were dim and bright under the flickering lights, which was extremely strange.

All the lights dimmed at the same time. When the light came back on, Su Yuechan found that she was the only one in the granary.

And the sheep's head.

She had clearly inserted metal into the eyes of a sheep just now, but now the eyes were intact.

Then Su Yuechan saw the Goat God blinking.

The surroundings of the granary began to change. The hay on the ground disappeared and turned into clean floor tiles. The walls on both sides were also much newer than they are now.

There were some more people in the granary, and they were dressed similar to the current villagers.

Everyone was happy and had smiles on their faces.

Su Yuechan suddenly appeared among them.

She looked down at the ground again and saw that the sheep's head was gone.

“It’s going to be a good year.”

Su Yuechan heard the sound.

"Yes, it hurt us last year. Fortunately, there are no accidents this year. Everyone can have a good year."

"You give me a good piece of sheepskin, and I have to make a dress for my daughter."

"no problem."

Su Yuechan watched the two villagers who were talking carrying a box past her. They put the box down and took out knives with a cold light from inside.

This should be what happened in this granary.

Su Yuechan looked in the direction of the granary door and happened to see villagers carrying sheep in.

The chatter and laughter of the villagers covered up the cry of the sheep.

Su Yuechan watched them skillfully kill, skin and debone the sheep.

Time did not flow at a normal speed. In just one minute, a tall pile of mutton chops was piled up in front of Su Yuechan.

The light in front of me changed rapidly, the granary became empty again, and the door was closed.

However, the next second, the barn door was pushed open again, and the villagers came in talking and laughing, which was almost the same as the previous scene.

But the content of their conversation was different from before, and it was snowing outside.

It must have been a year...

The villagers were also very happy this year. Apparently they had a good harvest.

Year by year……

Every year, villagers kill a large number of sheep and store them for the winter.

I don’t know how many years later, the hatch was pushed open again. The villagers were obviously not happy, and they killed many fewer sheep.

"Six sheep died in my family, how can I celebrate the New Year this year..."

"My family isn't much better."

"You were fine, why did you die?"

"The village chief said it was sheep plague, which would break out every few years..."

"What bad luck."

Su Yuechan could not leave the granary. She could only move within the scope of the granary, so she could only wait for the villagers to come in year after year.

…

…

Another year, the villagers are still unhappy this year, obviously because there are not many sheep alive.

Every villager has a sad face and completely lost the joy of the New Year.

…

…

Another year.

"I've been busy all year long, can I survive the winter this year..."

"I don't know what's going on in the past two years. Sheep plague has occurred every year. The village chief didn't even give me a solution. Will we be able to raise them next year..."

After the villagers discussed the sheep issue, someone suddenly mentioned something else:

"My wife doesn't know what's going on, but she hasn't been able to get pregnant. My mother doesn't know if she can survive this winter. Her biggest wish is to see her granddaughter."

"Speaking of which, no children have been born in our village for two or three years, right?"

"I didn't notice it before, but when you said it, it seemed like..."

This topic has been brought up before, but it didn't cause much reaction.

But two years later, the villagers became obviously anxious.

"Sheep can't survive, so why don't women even have children? Is our village cursed?"

"What a weird thing..."

…

…

Two more years of such strange things have passed, and there are still no children born in the village, and Yangcun has become a childless village.

It was at this time that Su Yuechan discovered that the villagers were happily killing sheep in the summer.

Su Yuechan judged the time based on the environment outside the door and the dress of the villagers, and there was no mistake.

This has never happened before.

The villagers of Yangcun only kill sheep during the Chinese New Year in winter.

Su Yuechan thought this might be a turning point, maybe the goddess appeared...

Sure enough, she heard the word "Goddess" from the villagers' conversation.

Because only one sheep was killed, Su Yuechan didn't hear any more news. She only knew that the goddess had been in the village for some time and that someone was pregnant.

Su Yuechan could not sense the change of time in the granary and could only judge by opening the granary door.

But when the barn door was opened again, she found a three-year-old child running in.

No one was born in the past few years, so this child must have been born after the goddess came.

Three years have passed...

This means that no sheep have been killed in the village for three years—at least not in this granary.

As the villagers came in, Su Yuechan saw some villagers carrying things.
