Chapter 29 Slaughterhouse
Meng Yunqi simply gave in and glanced at the butcher. He didn't even take the butcher seriously, as he was not even a small boss. He thought, "Brother, I'll just act like that. If the butcher disagrees, let him experience the joy of being a pig too."
After making up his mind, Meng Yunqi ignored Shao Nan's gaze, crossed his legs and held a biscuit in his mouth.
Shao Nan: ...
After getting to know this world again, Shao Nan sat down. The emperor was not in a hurry, so why should he be in a hurry? He was hungry, so he decided to eat first.
【Judgment in progress...】
【Player reason passed】
[The butcher's hatred value +20% (the butcher thinks you are a troublemaker)]
[Note: The accumulated hatred value reaches 100%. After alienation, the player will be locked and hunted down]
The butcher stood there in a daze, breathing heavily, his iron-gray eyeballs almost popping out of their sockets, his face began to swell and turn pale, and his whole body exuded a cold aura.
Seeing this, Shao Nan and Meng Yunqi, who were standing by, thought that the butcher was going to be transformed, and began to take out their weapons.
Mo Weiqian calmly stood up and held the two men down: "What are you doing? Put them down quickly. Look at how angry you are, your face has turned pale."
Meng Yunqi hesitated to speak: Forget it, he is my elder brother, just give him the upper hand.
Shao Nan: That is to say, is it possible that it was not us...
Mo Weiqian turned around and smiled politely at the 'pig butcher':
"Please take the things on the table, thank you."
【Ding! 】
[The butcher's hatred value has been updated: 40% (still a very lazy thing to do!)]
Mo Weiqian expressed his suspicion that it was the system scolding him.
When the butcher walked out with two basins of pig and sheep heads in his arms in a menacing manner, Shao Nan no longer found him scary. Instead, he felt that he looked a bit like an old widower who was rejected by his own children, quite pitiful.
Shao Nan shuddered when he came back to his senses, and quickly shook his head to get rid of this dangerous thought.
What kind of newbie is he, and he even sympathizes with the NPCs.
Meng Yunqi lay by the door, made sure the "butcher" had gone far away, and began to close the door and plot loudly.
Shao Nan looked straight at Mo Weiqian: "Boss, is there really something wrong with that meat?"
Mo Weiqian nodded: "But I can't confirm it completely, but it's probably not edible."
“In ancient Greek mythology, people would sacrifice black goats to gods to obtain blessings, which has a blessing and good meaning.
"In the usual Chinese customs, pig heads are used in sacrifices. Since the black goat and the pig head are both sacrifices, I don't think anything good will happen if they eat the sacrifices of God."
Shao Nan nodded: "But I don't think eating it will result in instant death."
Mo Weiqian looked at Shao Nan with interest: "What do you mean?"
Shao Nan was also unambiguous and analyzed it openly:
"From my perspective, this point is very contradictory. If it was a normal death trap, it would be better if NPCs were not set up to monitor it. However, the NPCs were guarding it and said they were participating in the sacrificial ceremony and had to eat the food."
"Isn't this equivalent to telling players that there might be something wrong with the food? That's weird, but let's not talk about how we pass the level, but other players..."
Shao Nan didn't finish his words but just looked at the two of them. Meng Yunqi nodded:
“If there are teams with veteran players, they will probably try it.”
The answer is self-evident as to who should try. In this game, not only ghosts eat people, but people also eat people.
The three of them looked unhappy. After a pause, Meng Yunqi continued:
"I seriously doubt this. We shouldn't be able to find any other food. This pot of meat is like the tempting fruit in the Garden of Eden. Even if it's not an instant death condition, it doesn't prove that there is no problem."
"Even if we strengthen our physical attributes, we can't go without food or water for seven days. Besides, we have to face the temptation of meat and the threats from the villagers. We may not have seven days."
Shao Nan felt a chill down his spine and asked in a panic, "Where are we going next?"
Mo Weiqian's eyes rolled:
"There is still an hour before the sacrifice. Since we are tourists, it's no big deal to visit the village. Let's go out and look around separately. Add your friends to the system and contact them at any time if there is any danger."
"We will gather in the courtyard ten minutes in advance and wait for the butcher."
Meng Yunqi looked at Mo Weiqian with some concern and was about to speak.
Mo Weiqian gave him a soothing look in return: "Yunqi, don't worry, I can protect myself."
Meng Yunqi also knew what his elder brother had decided. Even ten oxen couldn't pull him back, so he had no choice but to warn him, "Then be careful. Call me if anything happens."
Then the three of them quietly walked out of the room and walked in three directions respectively.
Mo Weiqian walked towards the slaughterhouse next door. As soon as he stepped into the slaughterhouse, he felt a piercing chill drilling into the bones. The slaughterhouse was very large, more than twice the size of the butcher's house.
The room was very dark, and the midday sun couldn't shine in. It seemed like another world.
The surrounding wallpaper was yellow and old, mixed with a faint smell of blood, and there were bloodstains splattered not far away.
Mo Weiqian continued to check the next room. The layout of the rooms here was basically the same.
But what is strange is that there are too many slaughtering rooms here, seven or eight rooms in total, but there are not many pig and sheep carcasses.
The innermost room was filled with a particularly strong smell of blood, and the walls were almost dyed blood red. It seemed that the villagers had no intention of holding a big banquet.
There were only one or two skinned pigs and sheep on the shelves.
Mo Weiqian then went around to the pigpen and sheeppen outside.
There are not many pigs and sheep here, not enough to meet the village's living needs, not to mention that the village has not been found to have other income for the time being.
"Hmm...Wuwu...Chiji"
The pigs in the pigsty discovered him and ran towards him like crazy, making sharp and loud howls.
Will the pigs here ask for help?
At this time, the flock of sheep was also alarmed. The black goats kept butting the stone wall that trapped them with their sharp horns, and the bleating sounds in their mouths sounded more like wails.
Hearing such a loud noise, Mo Weiqian suddenly felt something was wrong.
“Tap…tap…tap”
"Swish...swish..."
The sound Mo Weiqian heard was different from the roar of the animal in front of him, it was the sound of a sharp weapon rubbing against the ground.
He dodged and returned to the slaughterhouse behind the pigsty, hiding under the stone wall and observing carefully.
It's the 'pig butcher'!
The butcher was still wearing the bright red jacket, with a black short jacket on the outside and an apron on the outside.
Emmmm, very fashionable outfit.
The butcher's eyes were flashing with annoyance and impatience at this time, and he roared at the group of animals that were still in chaos. The sheep and pigs instantly quieted down, and after stopping, they seemed to be panting rapidly and violently.
The butcher was holding an axe in his hand. The axe looked very old and much larger than ordinary axes. The butcher held the axe in one hand, rushed into the pigpen, skillfully grabbed the two pigs' ears with one hand, and dragged the pigs out of the pigpen.
The pig being dragged howled in fear, stared in the direction of Mo Weiqian and made a whimpering sound.
