After breakfast, Zhang Guangze and Tian Yueling went somewhere unknown.

Yu Qing was going to go see the sheep sent by the patriarch.

The fence gate was closed, but the scene inside could be seen. Four dairy goats huddled together, staring at Yu Qing with their black eyes in a strange way, without the fear that any livestock would show when seeing humans.

They stood in a very disciplined row, and one could even see a hint of resentment in their black pupils.

The brush knocked twice on the fence, and it seemed to knock into the hearts of the four goats.

They grinned with their fangs showing, and stared warily at the girl standing with her back to the light.

“They’re all human beings…”

The four dairy goats all widened their eyes. Yes, their black pupils were about to pop out.

The initial resentment gradually turned into doubt and finally into a silent cry for help.

"Everything is full of people?" Zhang Chen, who had just changed his clothes, came over and asked, "Shall we go out for a walk now?"

When the dairy goats saw him coming, they bleated excitedly and scratched the fence with their front legs frantically, as if they couldn't wait to rush out.

Zhang Chen seemed to be used to it and didn't react much. He even explained, "These goats act like this when they see me. I don't know why. Maybe it's because I'm handsome."

It's not that he is narcissistic. Almost all the dairy goats will get excited and become horny when they see him. There is really no other reason.

Yu Qing was ambiguous: "Maybe he's asking you for help."

"..." Help? "Now the dairy goats have become spirits!"

“…”

Yu Qing replied: "Is it possible that these dairy goats were originally transformed from humans?"

Zhang Chen looked at the goat in disbelief, then was shocked: "You mean...how can a human turn into a goat?"

The four sheep that were scratching the fence frantically have now calmed down and are looking in Yu Qing's direction, as if to prove that what she said is true.

"People can also turn into goats," he said on the grassland. "Or maybe it's not a transformation, but an illusion."

Zhang Chen: “…”

“This is too outrageous!”

Yu Qing was thinking about something else. Perhaps those who were imprisoned in the ancestral hall were turned into dairy goats instead of being locked up inside and unable to get out.

…

…

The village was quite lively during the day. There was no longevity ceremony to be held today, but everyone was gathered outside one of the houses, and the faint cries of sheep could be heard from inside.

Zhang Chen was walking around the village with Yu Qing when he saw Tian Yueling and Zhang Guangze in the crowd. He walked over and asked, "Mom and Dad, what are you doing here?"

Tian Yueling waved her hand absentmindedly: "Guanying's daughter drugged them last night and tried to escape, but now she's been discovered."

She was completely focused on what was happening inside and didn't pay much attention to Zhang Chen, nor did she notice the sudden change in his expression.

Zhang Guanying's daughter and Zhang Chen graduated from the same university. It can be said that many people in the village were admitted to universities, and almost all of them went to the same school.

But if his daughter was caught, why would the sheep cry so miserably?

Before Zhang Chen could react, he saw a girl being tied up and carried out.

A piece of cloth was stuffed in her mouth, and her eyes, filled with tears, moved around the crowd, finally stopping on Zhang Chen, emitting a look of pleading for help.

Almost all the villagers were applauding. The few who looked unhappy were those who had returned later and might not have been affected as deeply.

"Send her to the ancestral hall and lock her up."

"You're still thinking of escaping! The gods have granted us immortality and freedom from disease. This is an honor. For our success, no one can stop us!"

"Send it to the ancestral hall!!"

Zhang Chen wanted to go up and stop her, but just as he moved, his arm was pulled back. He turned around and saw Yu Qing: "Yang...Ayang, don't stop me. We can't let her be locked up again."

Too many people have been imprisoned in the ancestral hall. Perhaps those people...

Yu Qingwei sighed undetectably: "You can't stop them. They can't even maintain the most basic clarity of mind. You will just be locked up with them."

"But..." Zhang Chen saw the villagers' completely crazy expressions.

They cheered and followed the team, walking towards the ancestral hall together.

What's in there? What kind of gods are they? How could a god be so weird?

Yu Qing and Zhang Chen also followed the large group and soon arrived outside the Zhang clan ancestral hall. There were more than a hundred coffins still placed there, covered but not sealed.

Zhang Guanying dragged the girl over with an expressionless face and threw her at the entrance of the ancestral hall.

The elders will take her into the ancestral hall. Since the arrival of the gods, no one except the clan leader and the elders is allowed to enter.

The girl's sobbing gradually faded away, and the villagers began to leave.

After they left, they had no work, no farm work, but instead harvested food for their family's dairy goats.

The grass on the back hill is almost bare.

Tian Yueling had returned to her normal self by this point and walked over to Zhang Chen. "It's getting late. We have to hurry up and cut the grass. The sheep must be hungry."

There are three people in Zhang Chen's family, including his parents. The sheep eat a lot, so they need to harvest them for a long time. As a guest, Yu Qing naturally does not have to work.

So after the three of them left with their tools, Yu Qing sneaked into the ancestral hall.

The village was very quiet at this time. All the villagers were cutting grass in the back mountain, and no one could hear anyone talking.

At the middle door of the ancestral hall, the elders and the clan leader threw the girl in and did nothing but closed the door and left.

"Come and take the sheep away tomorrow and send them to Guanying's home." It was the voice of the patriarch.

The footsteps of the few people leaving were a little hurried.

They also have dairy goats at home, so they probably need to harvest food to feed the goats.

Under the scorching sun, the girl nimbly climbed over the wall and pushed open the middle door. The girl inside was gone, replaced by a dairy goat.

Its hands and feet were tied with hemp ropes, and it seemed to be shocked at why it had become like this. Intense despair filled its eyes, and at this moment the door was opened.

The sunlight outside poured into the room, stinging my eyes so much that I couldn't see clearly who was coming in.

There was only a huge coffin hidden in the darkness.

"You go out first."

The girl moved her hands, the rope was untied, and she regained her human appearance.

She subconsciously stood up and ran out of the house, but she stopped after taking two steps and turned back: "Aren't you going with me?"

Yu Qing was standing beside the coffin, carelessly extinguishing a few candles. "Zhang Chen asked me to come."

Without much explanation, the girl understood what she meant.

Although she didn't know what exactly happened in the village, it was obviously not something that could be explained by science.

After Yu Qing and the other girls ran away, they continued to stomp out the candles. Soon, all the candles in the room were extinguished, and the room fell into dead silence and darkness.

“Pah.”

The middle door closed without a breeze, blocking out the warm light.

The outer coffin was opened again, revealing an adult-sized black coffin inside.
