It was dawn, the busy farming season had passed, and every household in Fengguo Village had not yet gotten up. The peace was broken by a sudden knock on the door.
"Bang! Bang! Village chief!...Village chief!" The door of Bingge's house, the head of Fengguo Village, was being patted crazily.
Binge was awakened directly from his sleep. After being the village chief for so many years, Binge could still recognize the person calling him. He was Kaubier, the only carpenter in the village. He must have something urgent to do when he knocked on his door so early.
I thought about getting up quickly and letting my wife and children go back to sleep.
He opened the door casually, and sure enough, Corbier was standing in front of him, but the smile that usually hung on his face was gone. His face was full of fear and confusion. Bingle also discovered Corbier's wife Anne and daughter Joanna behind him.
"What's wrong? You're so panicked early in the morning, what happened?" Bingle asked Cobil, who looked frightened, and looked behind them, but there was nothing.
"Village...Village Chief, I think I...found that guy." Corbier, who had recovered a little, said to Bingle intermittently.
"..."
"Corbeer! What are you talking about! Tell me clearly!"
"Village chief! Who is it? The guy who often steals poultry appears! It's in my sheep pen." Corbill quickly explained.
"What!" Bing Ge was shocked.
This month, someone will report to Binger every day, saying that there are fewer chickens and ducks in their home. The number was right yesterday, but one is missing today, and the thief cannot be caught. Because there are too few, every household begins not to put their chickens and ducks away.
The chickens and ducks are kept in pens and driven home at night.
Unexpectedly, instead of stealing chickens and ducks, this thief would steal sheep instead.
"Let's go, gather a few people, follow me and arrest the thief first, don't let him escape!"
After that, Binger began to gather several young and strong young men in the village, each holding a weapon in his hand, and rushed towards the Cowbill house.
"Village Chief, I have something to say!" Corbill suddenly said.
"explain!"
Seeing everyone looking at him, Kaubir said hesitantly: "Village Chief, I think this thief may not be a human being. Today I was suddenly awakened by the screams in the sheepfold in my sleep. As I slowly approached the sheepfold, I
I heard a roar that sounded like a wild beast. I was frightened and didn't dare to get close. I took my family with me and hurried to find you, the village chief."
Beast? Bingge thought for a while and wondered whether he should take the risk and take everyone there. After all, wild beasts are still very dangerous. Fengguo Village is close to the Black Dragon Mountains, and sometimes the wild beasts in the mountains will indeed break into Fengguo Village.
Every year, groups of wild boars run into the fields in the mountains and damage crops. Occasionally, wild deer can be seen wandering around outside the village. They will be frightened when they see people and move into the woods. Some people have also seen bears and wolves...
However, there are not many wild beasts that can steal poultry and dare to steal sheep now. The only ones Binger can think of are bears, wolves, leopards and tigers. After all, only these large beasts will regard sheep as prey.
.
These carnivores are not easy to deal with. Both bears and tigers are invincible except for knights. The strength of bears can be close to one ton, while the ultimate strength of low-level knights is close to one thousand kilograms, which is almost one ton, and tigers also have close to eight hundred kilograms.
With their strength, only fully armed low-level knights can hunt bears and tigers alone. Although they are not Warcraft, they are stronger than many low-level Warcraft.
Leopards are not very powerful, but they are too fast and are difficult to catch if they want to escape. Wolves are social animals and are extremely cunning. Generally, there are at least a dozen wolves in a wolf pack, which should not be underestimated.
These carnivores are not easy to mess with. Binge hesitated to take everyone to take risks. After all, it is not worth causing casualties for some domestic animals. He could only express his worries first.
"What if there is danger?"
"What are so many of us afraid of..."
"I think I have to go take a look and catch this guy!"
"..."
…
Then it was time for discussion. However, after everyone heard Bing Ge’s idea, some were afraid of the danger and suggested not to go and wait until the beast left to check. Some were confident that their strength was not bad and they had practiced the basic thirty-six poses well.
, actively wanted to find out. Everyone expressed their own opinions, and could not agree on it for a while.
"Okay! It's almost dawn now, so don't make any noise here. Let's observe from a distance first, and retreat if danger occurs." Bing Ge saw that these guys couldn't figure out the reason for the quarrel, so he could only think of a way out.
The method in.
That's it, it's settled.
In just a few minutes, a group of people arrived near Cowbill's house. From this position, they could clearly see the Cowbill family's sheepfold.
The sky was gradually getting brighter, and the situation in the sheepfold was clearly visible. Several sheep were close together, but there was no trace of the wild beast that they wanted to see.
"Village Chief! No, he may have run away!" said Payne, the hunter at the head of the team.
"Let's go! Go take a look!" Bing Ge said and slowly leaned over.
When the others saw that there was no danger for the time being, they followed.
"It's missing! One sheep is missing. It must have been eaten by something." Cowbill said emotionally.
Binge felt confident that the recent disappearance of livestock in the village was really the work of this inexplicable beast.
Looking at the thoughtful hunter Pine, Binge said: "Pine, have you discovered something? Let everyone know."
"Village chief, I just found some footprints in the circle. You can come and have a look." He said and led Binge to the place where the footprints were.
A group of people followed him as if to join in the fun. This was a kind of footprint similar to that of a mouse, not the footprints of a wolf or tiger, which had large pads of flesh. However, it was confusing. In fact, the footprints were a bit big and not similar to those of humans.
It's about the size of a palm and may be an unknown animal.
"I have been hunting for many years, but I have never seen such big footprints. Moreover, this kind of beast is estimated to be quite large and carnivorous. We cannot deal with it at all. I suggest asking the Baron for help." Pine looked serious.
Speaking of beasts, as a hunter, he knew it all too well. As long as there was no one that was easy to deal with that was too large, it would be best to seek help from the Baron.
After listening to Pine's words, Binger was also inclined to seek the help of the Baron. After all, he and others might not be able to defeat this unknown beast, but the Baron must have a way.
However, I still haven’t figured out what kind of monster is eating it, so I just ran to the Baron for help in a daze. I can’t afford to lose face!
Let everyone go home first. The culprit is gone anyway, and the others are of no use here.
After returning home, Bingge sat on a chair in the backyard and began to think.
…
After rubbing his head, Bingge finally made up his mind and decided to shamelessly go to Qinghuang Town.
After all, if this beast is not dealt with and this problem is not solved, the livestock in the village will continue to be lost, and casualties may occur. By then it will be too late to ask for help from Qinghuang Leader.
