Rules of the Strange: Starting with the Weird Peppa Pig

Li Fan spoke with great excitement.

"I'll go first. I wish everyone an extraordinary life."

Wu Yin smiled faintly and said, "May good news always be with you."

Suddenly, Wu Xin jumped up, perched on their heads, and shouted with a smile that curved her eyes: "Xin! May your wishes come true!"

Wuyin pressed the shutter button, and the three of them were captured in a photo taken with her phone.

This video was recorded by netizens and edited into a video. Unexpectedly, the video went viral across the internet, with the number of likes even exceeding 100 million, and it became popular overseas.

Big Cow's mother looked at the three of them with a smile in her eyes, then glanced at the man next to her, who was still as dull as ever, and couldn't help but move closer to him, her face beaming with happiness.

For some reason, Honglong didn't feel repulsed by the woman in front of him, even though her behavior was a bit strange. On the contrary, he felt a desire to get closer to her.

Wait a minute, he's not that kind of man, so why does he act differently towards this woman in the ghost story?

To distract himself, he started bragging and talking about his life.

"I used to be a greenhorn, but I don't remember anything from before because I took a knife for our company commander in a battle and lost my memory."

But because of this, my upright character allowed me to rise through the ranks, eventually leading me to my current position.

Li Fan and Wu Xin couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"The commander is amazing!"

Wuyin smiled and shook his head; he already knew the true identity of the Red Dragon Commander.

And Da Niu Niang understood why the man in front of her hadn't come back to see her for so long, but she had already forgiven him.

She looked at the red dragon with pride and love in her eyes.

This little house is overflowing with happiness.

At this moment, no one noticed that a wisp of white smoke was rising from the top of the Great Cow Mother's head, and her soul seemed to have become fainter.

Her obsession lessened a little.

Chapter 112 The Strange Villagers

But happy times always pass in the blink of an eye.

The night was unusually quiet, so quiet that the eerie fog that had appeared before was nowhere to be seen tonight.

Wuyin looked at the moon outside the cave entrance. The entire moon was covered by a layer of clouds and mist, making the night exceptionally dark.

He frowned, a bad feeling creeping over him, though he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

He couldn't let his inexplicable feelings cause everyone's hard-won relaxation to become tense again, so Wuyin took his wine glass and walked to the cave entrance, looking out cautiously.

This way, you can notice any movement immediately.

But then Wuyin suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a bulging semi-circular object on the edge of the pond, but because it was too dark, he couldn't see what it was.

His brow furrowed slightly as he pondered whether there really was a semi-circular object by the pond during the day, when he suddenly became alert and noticed that the semi-circular object was slowly moving forward.

It was only when there was no sound that I realized it was actually a round object, but because of visual obstruction, I mistakenly thought it was only half a circle.

However, as if by divine intervention, the clouds obscuring the moon parted slightly, allowing a sliver of moonlight to shine through, which landed precisely on the reflective part of the round object.

On the two round eyeballs.

It was a head, the head of a villager from this village.

Two eyes stared intently ahead in the moonlight, as if locked in a silent gaze.

Wu Yin suddenly became serious and spoke to everyone.

"Don't make a sound, there's movement."

Everyone immediately went on high alert and followed Wuyin's gaze toward the cave entrance.

They all witnessed this bizarre scene, and the head continued to move forward.

It wasn't until he crawled into the pond and exposed his entire body that Wuyin realized the villager was crawling on the ground with his head facing straight forward, as if his neck had been twisted to the back of his head.

Moreover, there's more than one monster like this...

Many heads appeared at the edge of the pond, and they slowly crawled forward until they reached the bottom of the pond.

Wu Xin and Li Fan were already used to the scenes in the ghost stories, so they simply held their breath and listened to the sounds outside, trying to keep their breathing as low as possible.

But this was the first time Red Dragon had witnessed such a bizarre and terrifying scene. One second he was immersed in joy, and the next he was facing the threat of death, which made him breathe heavily.

Looking at the man beside her, whose face was somewhat stiff, Da Niu Niang simply took his hand gently without saying a word.

Commander Red Dragon suddenly felt a cool touch on his hand. Instead of feeling any resistance, he felt much more at ease and even slowed down his breathing.

Just then, Wuyin's eyes widened in surprise as he remembered a rule on the slip of paper from the Mushroom Forest.

The villagers will definitely eat in the canteen.

So, do they come to the "cafeteria" to eat?

But the ostrich has already been rescued by them, so what else do they need to eat in the cafeteria?

As Wuyin thought about this, she suddenly remembered something: a few days ago, they had sold the mushroom food mentioned in the note to these villagers.

His expression suddenly became somewhat uncertain. He saw that after the villagers had all climbed to the bottom of the pond, they took out the mushrooms that had been hidden in their bellies and began to chew them heartily, seemingly enjoying this delicious dinner.

Li Fan suddenly spoke up as well.

"There seems to be a lot of black mist gathering at the bottom of the pond, and it's slowly rising, which might engulf our cave."

Upon hearing this, Wuyin summoned the scalpel from the toolbar, preparing to stop the monsters from continuing to feed.

But Big Cow Girl spoke softly to everyone.

"You all stay here and don't go out. With me here, the black mist won't seep into this room."

But they are about to hatch, and it's very dangerous outside now.

Red Dragon waited quietly for everyone to analyze the situation, without giving any instructions.

After all, he is a commander outside, able to gather the wisdom of many experts, but here he is just an ordinary person with no talent. His goal is not to hold everyone back.

Wu Xin also took the initiative to ask Da Niu Niang.

“Tell us everything you know. There are some things we have to face. We can’t live in this village forever.”

After hearing Wu Xin's words, Da Niu Niang couldn't help but sigh.

Yes, she always decides what others consider safety based on her own ideas, never considering that these children are all going to fly far away and won't stay here forever.

Just like her daughter, if she were still alive, she probably wouldn't stay in this village.

So, taking advantage of the time when she couldn't go out, Da Niu's mother slowly began to tell all the secrets of the village.

“Since I was a child, this village has been selling children and trafficking women. All the girls were sold, and some people even sold boys.”

I was one of the girls who was about to be sold, but by chance, I met a strong and handsome boy from the next village, and we fell in love at first sight.

In order to escape this hellish village, I even said to the boy, "Let's elope."

But the boy just shook his head. He said that my reputation would be damaged if I eloped, and that if I were discovered, I would be despised by everyone and might even be drowned in a pig cage.

So after he came to my house to propose, he went to join the army. Because military marriages are protected by the state, I could live a stable life relying on his reputation until he came back.

I am also the only woman born and raised in this village; the other women were almost all trafficked here.

Upon hearing these words, Honglong felt a slight headache, as if something deep inside him was about to burst forth, but he couldn't quite recall what it was.

As she finished speaking, Da Niu Niang couldn't help but look at Li Fan and say something.

"Don't hate your mother. She was a well-educated college student with a bright future, but she was kidnapped by human traffickers and forced to marry your devilish father."

With your father watching over you, she couldn't openly send you away, so she could only force you to sneak away at night in that way.

After you left, she was depressed all the time.

Unfortunately, your mother became pregnant with your brother again. Your brother couldn't escape this hell on earth, and she could only watch helplessly as those demons drank his blood and ate his flesh.

And she herself was also harmed by those demons…

Da Niu Niang couldn't continue speaking at this point.

Li Fan, standing beside him, was already biting his lip, his eyes red-rimmed, his head bowed, his fists clenched tightly, seemingly lost in thought.

Actually, Big Bull Mother was hiding something. Back then, those demons used Big Bull as a threat, forcing her to keep an eye on the group of women and prevent them from escaping.

Chapter 113 The Village's Secret

In the end, Da Niu Niang chose to obey the demons, but the demons did not let Da Niu go at all.

Da Niu's mother felt sorry for Da Niu, but she felt she felt even more sorry for the women in the village.

If she could go back to the past, she would give her own life to save Da Niu, rather than stain her hands with blood.

After calming herself down, Big Cow Girl continued speaking.

"After I died, a mysterious person gave me a task to ensure that my soul would not be bound by that pond, which was to collect the villagers' 'vision'."

I was initially puzzled because the demons from back then were already dead, and there were no living villagers left in the village.

What's even stranger is that the next day, many villagers appeared in the village. Although I had never seen their faces before, their behavior was completely normal; they seemed like ordinary villagers.

"I collected their visions and, following the guidance of the mysterious man, placed them on mushrooms, and those mushrooms grew eyes one after another."

However, I don't know when those mushrooms grew. It seems that some small mushrooms sprouted during the most chaotic period of the village.

But then, a merchant started bringing an ostrich every week to feed the villagers. The villagers were also very enthusiastic about the ostrich and would eat the live ostrich at the bottom of the pond.

After a month of this, the villagers would go to the pond to pick mushrooms to eat, just like they did tonight. After eating them, they would regain their sight and become perfect 'food'.

Ultimately, they will see their own guidance and walk to that person on their own.

Some of them were puzzled: "Who exactly is that person?"

Da Niu Niang lowered her voice even further and spoke slowly.

"That's the person who ate these villagers. I only saw him once in the second month when the villagers were ripe."

Because in the second month, something unexpected seemed to happen, making that person impatient and come directly to the pond to eat the food.
