There used to be an old man in our village. He had fed many laying hens and sold the eggs laid by these hens for a living.
One summer night, there was no moon in the sky, and it was so dark outside that I could not see my fingers. The old man Wang took a rest early because he was too tired to go to the fair during the day. In the middle of the night, he heard the chickens in the chicken cage outside the house plopping silently, like someone pinching the chicken’s neck and pulling it out of the cage. He thought it was a weasel, and hurried out with a flashlight and a wooden stick, and ran out of the door to the chicken cage. He saw the dead bodies of two hens lying beside the chicken cage, their heads were torn off alive. . The strange thing is that the corpses of these two hens were shriveled and there was no blood on their bodies. Seeing this situation, Old Man Wang knew that this was definitely not the weasel, and what kind of monster was it? Why does it eat chicken blood instead of chicken? He was puzzled, ready to see what happened the next night.

By the next night, the moon star was sparse, and he did not dare to sleep, lying on the bed, staring at the window, waiting for the monster to steal his mother Chickens. In the middle of the night, he heard footsteps in the direction of the chicken coop coming from the yard, and knew that the monster was walking towards the chicken coop. He hurriedly jumped out of the bed and came to the window. Through the dim moonlight, he saw a dog that looked like a dog but had four feet like human feet crawling towards the chicken cage to catch the chicken in the cage. Seeing this, he was frightened all of a sudden, and he couldn’t help but tremble and cough. Hearing his cough, the monster was too scared to catch the chicken in the cage, and ran away quickly.
At dawn, he told a knowledgeable old man in the village about the monster he saw last night. The old man told him: “What you see is a human-footed badger. Sometimes the human-footed badger is thirsty and likes to suck animal blood, but it has little courage and fears adults, but not children. If children touch it , May still be eaten by it (Note: “I encountered a human-footed badger when I was a child, but because I was afraid of it, when I was so afraid to kneel on the ground, it thought I was going to pick up bricks and throw it. Ran it), now it is frightened by your cough, it won’t steal your chicken again. “
Sure enough, human-footed badgers never dared to steal the hen of the old man.
