The dog thought for a while and then shook its head .
“Forget it . Look around with me tomorrow,” Wang Yao said .
Wang Yao had almost trod on every inch of the land on Nanshan Hill . He did not find any signs of snake activity except for Xiao Hei’s .
In the middle of the night, a sheep’s eyes were a little bright . It stood staring at the wall shaking its head . It then took two steps, opened its mouth, and began to eat .
A strange cracking sound could be heard .
“Hey, listen . Do you hear that sound outside?” The woman lying on the stone bed reached out her hand to touch her husband, who was already asleep .
“No, I don’t hear anything,” the man said .
He had drank a few cups of wine, so he had fallen asleep easily and did not want to get up .
The woman listened carefully . She heard the noise again coming from the yard .
“I really heard something,” she said . “Go out and see!”
“It was nothing . Just go to sleep,” the man impatiently said .
Crack! Crack! The sound outside was not very loud, but it was regular .
After the woman laid down, she turned over and over again . She couldn’t sleep because of the sound . She finally got dressed and walked outside holding a flashlight .
What! The woman began to scream .
The man, who was still lying in bed, got up after hearing the shout . He ran out without wearing clothes . “What happened?”
When he got to the yard, he saw his wife shivering and the flashlight laying on the ground .
“Sheep, sheep!” Both her body and voice trembled .

“What happened to the sheep? Did it run away again!” The man raised the flashlight to look . “God, what’s wrong with it!”
The sheep was biting the wall . There was blood on the sheep and wall . The sheep’s teeth were hard but not as hard as cement and stone . Its teeth were broken, and the gums were ground down . Blood kept flowing from its mouth . The sheep seemed to not feel the pain and kept gnawing the cement wall like it was the most delicious pasture .
The sheep is crazy! The man swallowed spittle . He had heard of mad dogs and even seen mad dogs, but he had never heard of mad sheep .
Baa!
Feeling the light of the flashlight, the sheep stopped gnawing . It turned its head and stared at the couple . The sheep’s mouth was bloody . It licked its tongue and swallowed its own flesh and blood .
Baa!
A gust of wind passed by . The man shivered with cold .
“What should we do?” The woman was scared . When she came out and first saw the scene, she almost wet her pants . “Kill it?”
“What? Oh . Stay here and wait . ” The man quickly fetched a shovel .
The sheep stood staring at them quietly . Blood continued to drop from the corner of its mouth . It was a frightening scene .
The man approached the sheep . After hesitating for a while, he picked up the iron shovel and hit it heavily .
Clunk! The sound was particularly loud and harsh in the dark night .
The sheep shook its head as if nothing happened .
Clunk! The man hit it again . The sheep still stood there .
The man’s arm holding the shovel trembled . He had never encountered such a situation . The feeling was like meeting a ghost when walking at night .
The sheep was finally killed by the shovel . Shockingly, the sheep had not struggled from beginning to end .
A gust of wind passed by . The man quivered and found himself in a cold sweat . He felt chilled when the wind blew over .

“What the hell is going on?” His wife was shocked and still frightened .
“It must be mad . Go back to sleep,” the man said .
“You should come back quickly since you are out without clothes,” his wife said .
The couple entered the house . The dead sheep lay in the sheepfold with its blood flowing out .
After entering the house and lying on the stone bed, the couple could not sleep . Once they closed their eyes, they seemed to see the sheep with the bleeding corners of the mouth staring at them and still licking its tongue .
“What the hell is going on?” His wife kept muttering . “It was good a few days ago . Why did it change after coming back?”
“Oh, stop muttering,” the man impatiently said .
Even after entering the house and lying on the warm bed, he still felt like both of his body and heart were cold . He was scared .
“Maybe ate something while it was outside?” The man was trying to comfort his wife and himself at the same time .
“Maybe,” his wife said .
Both of them were frightened and didn’t sleep well at night .
The next day the weather was fine . The man got up early and came to the sheepfold . The blood had dried up . The sheep’s eyes were still open, but they showed a strange dark red .
“What’s wrong?” His wife had followed him out .
“I was thinking about how to deal with this sheep,” he said .
“What do you want to do with it?” she asked .
“What about selling the meat?” the man asked .
“You must be crazy . It is a mad sheep,” his wife said . “What if people get sick after eating it?”

“Then, throw it away,” he said . “It’s quite a pity considering how much it was worth . ”
“Throw it in the garbage pile outside,” the woman said .
The man carried the dead sheep and threw it outside .
“What?” A man saw the dead sheep as he passed by in the morning . “Sheep?”
He stepped forward to take a closer look . His eyes lit up .
“Who threw it here? He must be foolish!” The man rushed back to his home with the sheep . He didn’t mind that it was dirty .
He was an old bachelor in the village . He was around 45 years old and lived by himself with two rooms . He was lazy and did not want to do anything . But, he was quite good at cooking chicken and roasting rabbit .
A dead sheep was enough for him to eat for a few days . He peeled and boned it quickly .
“Do you think we should have just thrown the sheep outside? Will the dogs in the village be infected if they eat it?” The wife couldn’t stop thinking about the sheep .
“Why do you think about it so much? You said to throw it away, but now you are worried about it,” the man said impatiently while smoking . ” What should we do now?”
He was shocked last night, so he had not slept well . Plus, since the sheep that could have sold at more than $100 was gone, he was now in angry .
“Why are you yelling at me?” The woman was annoyed .
“Then, tell me what we should do!” The man took a deep breath .
“Pick it back up and burn it or bury it,” the woman said .
“Fine . ” The man threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stepped on it . He then he went out . When he got to the trash pile, he was speechless .
Hey, where’s the sheep?
He returned to tell his wife . “It is gone . ”
“It must have been taken by someone,” the woman said . “I hope no one has eaten it . ”
She knew that there were several gluttonous and lazy people in the village .
“What should we do?” The man was anxious . After thinking, he said, “I will go to the brigade house to use their microphone and notify the villagers . ”
The man strode out of the house . The microphone that had been quiet for a long time in the village began to broadcast .
“Dear villagers, Wang Yisheng killed a sheep at home and threw it into the garbage dump . Don’t eat it no matter who picked it up . The sheep died from eating a rat poison!”
“What is he talking about?” a villager asked .
“Yisheng’s sheep died from eating a rat poison, and someone picked it up from the rubbish heap,” another villager said .
“Will he die if he eats it?” the first villager asked .
“Who knows?” the other villager replied .
In a dilapidated room in the mountain village, a man in his 40s was covered in dirt and holding a pot . He was drinking a delicious mutton soup served with liquor .
“Oh, that’s good,” the man said to himself . “This sheep is not bad . I can sell the parts for buying some liquor . ”
The village loudspeaker suddenly sounded . “All villagers, may I draw your attention?”
“What is he talking about?” The man listened carefully .
He suddenly sprayed the broth from his mouth . Rat poison?
He had already ate two bowls .
“Wait . Should it be black blood if it ate rat poison?” He was dumbfounded . Looking back at the cauldron and licking his lips, he felt it had been very delicious, but now it was not tasty . “Forget it . Don’t eat it . I’ll sell the rest of the lamb!”
