The two villagers closest to the foot of the mountain were bitten, and most of the chickens, ducks and piglets of the rest of the villagers were also eaten.
Fortunately, no one was killed and everyone, young and old, was safe.
But no one could accept that such a thing suddenly happened in the peaceful and beautiful days.
People were injured, poultry were lost, the yard was a mess, and people were in panic!
Village chief Zhang squatted on the millstone, sighing, and his forehead was covered with several more wrinkles.
