Chapter 453

This glimpse in a trance made Xiong Gang restless.

He didn't think it was an illusion.

Because he himself was a monster, he knew that malevolent entities did exist, and he also believed his own eyes.

So before the coffin was buried, he kept guarding near the coffin to keep vigil for Uncle Wang, both to fulfill his intentions and to protect the village when monsters made trouble.

But seven days passed, and until the coffin was buried, no abnormal events occurred. Perhaps the malevolent entity also discovered Xiong Gang, so it deliberately avoided this village.

Uncle Wang's death didn't bring too much change to the village.

The village soon had a new veterinarian. This veterinarian was named Wang Lang, with dark skin and a thin, hunched figure, but his technique for treating livestock was not inferior to Uncle Wang's at all, and he also had a way to make livestock calm down quickly.

Therefore, Xiong Gang lost his job as a veterinary assistant.

The uncles in the village began to arrange a partner for Xiong Gang. Although Xiong Gang looked fierce, he was honest and upright, and very capable of work. In the eyes of the villagers, he was a first-class candidate for a son-in-law.

Xiong Gang was busy dealing with these uncles every day and gradually let down his guard.

Then.

A strange thing happened.

Old Li's family, near the threshing ground in the south of the village, lost three large white geese. Auntie Li scolded and searched for a day, but found nothing.

Xiong Gang enthusiastically helped Auntie Li search, but found that Auntie Li had a very strong smell of raw goose on her.

Three days later, at the east end of the village, in the home of Uncle Wang's younger brother, Wang Laoer, two sheep mysteriously disappeared. Xiong Gang followed the scent and investigated, tracing it to the place where Wang Laoer grazed the sheep. He found a pool of blood and some sheep bones in the grass. These two sheep seemed to have entered the stomach of some large wild beast.

Livestock loss events happened again and again.

The atmosphere in the village became oppressive. Everyone looked at others with a certain scrutiny. No one introduced partners to Xiong Gang anymore, because Xiong Gang, who had just lost his job, had no land, and was too enthusiastic, was also within the scope of the villagers' suspicion.

To prove his innocence, Xiong Gang patrolled the village all night.

But livestock loss events happened one after another. Xiong Gang was clearly as fast as he could be, but every time he was one step late. When he arrived at the scene, the livestock had either disappeared or only bones were left, and the owner had the strongest scent on them.

Xiong Gang almost suspected that all of this was self-directed by the villagers to mess with him.

Soon.

The first human victim appeared.

That night, a piercing scream of a woman rang out in the village. The sound came from Uncle Zhang San's house.

Xiong Gang used his inhuman power and ran over at the first moment.

Then he saw Uncle Zhang San's daughter lying on the ground with dull eyes, and Uncle Zhang San was wearing black clothes, lying on the side with his head buried in his daughter's abdominal cavity, gnawing heavily.

When Uncle Zhang San raised his head, Xiong Gang clearly saw that Uncle Zhang San's entire face was stained red with blood, his eyes were emitting strange light, and the expression on his face was like a mad dog!

Xiong Gang's brain went blank for a moment.

Just two days ago, Uncle Zhang San was still smiling and trying to set Xiong Gang up with his daughter. How did he become like this today?

When Xiong Gang came back to his senses, other villagers also arrived at the sound and surrounded Uncle Zhang San's house tightly. Uncle Zhang San lay on his daughter's body, letting out painful wails, occasionally casting hateful glances at Xiong Gang.

In addition, Xiong Gang also noticed.

The clothes on Uncle Zhang San's body had changed from black to gray.

In this atmosphere, it was really difficult for Xiong Gang to say what he had seen before, and even if he did, no one would believe him.

But the victimization of Uncle Zhang San's family gave Xiong Gang a flash of inspiration.

Uncle Wang Er, Uncle Zhang San, Old Uncle Li...

All the people whose families had been victimized recently liked to delay paying veterinary treatment fees, and they all seemed to have invited that new veterinarian named Wang Lang to treat their livestock recently! Perhaps all of this was something the new veterinarian did out of dissatisfaction with being delayed in paying veterinary fees.

So Xiong Gang pushed through the crowd and came to the home of Veterinarian Wang Lang in a rage.

Just as he entered the door.

He smelled a strong bloody scent. A man without skin was standing in the courtyard. The man just stood there straight, blood slowly flowing down from his body, and some flies active in the night flew onto his body to enjoy a feast.

A moment later.

A set of black clothes floated over from the darkness.

These clothes were exactly the black burial shroud that Uncle Wang was wearing when he was buried!

The burial shroud automatically put itself on the skinless figure, and the person's skin grew back in the blink of an eye, turning back into the appearance of Veterinarian Wang.

Veterinarian Wang Lang didn't speak, but instead gave Xiong Gang a strange smile and let out a cry for help toward the sky.

"Help!"

"Xiong Gang is killing people!"

After shouting this, black hair grew on Wang Lang, and he turned into a strange humanoid big dog, pouncing toward Xiong Gang. Xiong Gang could only reveal his original form and fight with the big dog.

The bear and dog fought, and soon the winner was decided.

The big dog recovered into Wang Lang's appearance and fell to the ground, but he only had underwear on his body, and the black burial shroud had disappeared at some point.

The villagers heard the cry for help and rushed over, only to see Veterinarian Wang Lang lying in a pool of blood, while Xiong Gang stood in front of the corpse, covered in blood on his body and mouth!

What this scene represented could not be clearer.

The villagers soon "deduced" a story: Xiong Gang, because of Uncle Wang's death, held a grudge against the villagers and Veterinarian Wang Lang, so he stole livestock and killed people.

For a moment, Xiong Gang could not explain himself.

But he still remembered the black burial shroud, so he shook off the pursuing villagers and came to Auntie Wang's house.

At this time, Auntie Wang was wrapped in a quilt, sitting on the earthen bed, looking haggard, looking at Xiong Gang who rushed into the room with surprise.

"Auntie Wang, I want to know why Uncle Wang didn't treat dogs, and what's going on with that black burial shroud?"

Auntie Wang was stunned for a moment and told a story that had been sealed for a long time.

When Uncle Wang was young, the village was very poor, and he, as a veterinarian, was a treasure of the village.

One night, after it had just snowed, someone came to knock on the door in the middle of the night.

The man was hunched and thin. He said that the dog at home was about to die and wanted Uncle Wang to go with him. If he could cure the dog's illness, there would be a rich reward.

Uncle Wang didn't think much and followed the man out.

But as he walked, he found that he had been led by this man into the deep mountains and old 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. This old wolf had a large frame and looked old, with a huge wound on its leg.

Uncle Wang trembled and gave the old wolf veterinary anesthesia, and simply sutured the wound.

After the wound was sutured, the old wolf actually spoke human words.

"In our wolf pack, we are still missing a doctor. Look at which wolf you like, and I will peel off its skin and put it on you, so you will be a member of our wolf pack."

Uncle Wang was so scared that he lost the ability to think.

Suddenly, a gunshot broke the silence of the night.

It turned out that Auntie Wang had brought the men of the village to find them.

At this time, Auntie Wang was not yet married to Uncle Wang. She went out to the toilet at night and accidentally saw Uncle Wang walking into the mountains in a daze. She went over to look and found that there were only Uncle Wang's footprints on the snow, and the other footprints were a wolf's! She told the village chief about this, and the village chief brought all the men in the village to save him.

In that era, many people in Kaoshan Village were hunters, and everyone had guns. They followed the footprints all the way and soon found the wolf pack's lair, easily killing a large number of black wolves with firearms.

The leader wolf wanted to escape, but it was injured and had been anesthetized, so it could only be used as a target by humans.

It is said that it was shot more than ten times before it died...
