Two days ago, Xi Xinguo who lived in the fourth group of Xiangxi Village, Sangzao Town, An County, Mianyang opened his door and was scared by what he saw: as far as the eye could see, within the range of vision, on the ground were densely packed with tadpole-sized black toads. If one wanted to go out, there would be no place to put one's feet. Upon further inspection, it was found that the yard, the road, and the surrounding areas of the neighbor's house were surrounded by millions of toads. Such an abnormal phenomenon has made villagers worry about a possible earthquake precursor, and relevant departments are further investigating.

Millions of Toads "Surround" Homes

At 7 o'clock this morning, our website received a tip-off that there were dense clusters of toads around Xi Xinguo's home in the fourth group of Xiangxi Village, Sangzao Town, An County, numbering in the millions. At around 9 o'clock, when the reporter arrived at the scene, they saw that around Xi Xinguo's house and the front and back of the neighboring houses, they were all covered with gray-black toads the size of a thumb. Except for the relatively sparse toads in the middle of the yard, places like the road and corners that were relatively dark showed a phenomenon of toads swarming and clustering. Xi Xinguo pointed at the toads that had been stepped on and said, "There was simply no place to put one's feet, with over a dozen being stepped on with each step. Look, wherever we've walked, there are toad corpses."
