Chapter 87 Killing Pigs, Huan'er Frightened

Fall in love with you and Kanshu.com         63obook1a                                             

After returning to Yujiawan, Yu Youcai ran away overnight with the total of two taels of silver that Yu and Yu’s mother had pieced together.

The person who came to pursue the things could not find Yu Youcai, and he found the Sang family according to the news he had learned before. He did not find anyone at the Sang family. After asking the villagers that he did not have Yu Youcai, he did not make things difficult for the Sang family and immediately went to search elsewhere.

After this incident, the Sang family knew that Yu Youcai had committed a crime. Seeing that he could not hide it, Yu simply told the story of his mother's family sending his younger brother to take refuge that day.

No one said anything in front of Yu, but everyone was obviously relieved, glad that Yu did not hide the person at home that day, otherwise what would have happened if someone came to him today.

It’s not that the Sang family is indifferent and cruel, but Yu Youcai and even the entire Yu family are too outrageous. Yu Youcai took other people’s things, but it was not right for precious things to be found and returned. The whole family also wanted to bring the disaster to their own family. This selfishness alone made people unable to sympathize with them.

After learning that Yu had given him one or two silver dollars to help Yu Youcai run away, everyone didn't say anything. This is human nature. If Yu's sister really does nothing, it would be heartbreaking.

A few more days passed, and Yu took the time to go back to her parents' home. However, Yu's father and mother were still angry about the one tael of silver and had no good words to her. Yu's angry quarreled with them again.

It was the eldest brother of the Yu family who told Yu that Yu Youcai had run out for seven or eight days and had not shown up. Those who were chasing things came to watch every day, and Yu Youcai should have not been caught.

After getting this result, Yu didn't know whether to worry or breathe a sigh of relief. Finally, she returned home, and she stopped caring about this matter and couldn't help it.

This episode of the Yu family is over. The Sang family has already prepared to build a workshop. All materials such as bricks, tiles, and wood have arrived. The weather has gradually become cooler. Just wait for the masters of the Zi family to complete the work they had taken before, and then they can go to the Sang family to build a workshop.

"These masters built a shed and lived next to the workshop. We cook three meals a day for them. Do you have to buy more pork and other dishes to store them so that you can avoid running to the town every day?"

After dinner that day, the family chatted as usual and spent time, and then talked about the workshop. When Mu thought of the food problems of the Master Ziren, he told his plans.

"Mom, don't have to be so troublesome!" Sang Lin said: "As long as those masters have meat every meal and can work hard, they can buy other fruits and vegetables from the village. Anyway, every family in the village has a vegetable garden, and each family is enough to be even more even. This is more convenient than going to the town and the price is much cheaper."

Sang Ye thought so, so he agreed, "Yes, let's follow what my second brother said, so we can be cheaper. As for meat... don't we have two pigs in our family. Tomorrow we will kill the big one to entertain the masters and kill the other one during the Chinese New Year, so that our family will no longer have to buy pork in the town."

"What, both pigs will be killed this year?" When he heard his daughter's words, Mu's focus went to the pig again and said reluctantly: "These two pigs will be sold at the end of the year. Even if the situation is special this year, you can only kill one at most."

When a farmer raises pigs, he points to kill and sell them at the end of the year and spends the New Year. Usually, his family rarely kills a whole pig to eat. Unless he encounters a big happy event like marrying a wife, even if he kills the New Year pig, he will sell more than half of the pigs to the villagers who have not killed the New Year pigs, and the remaining small part will be left to his family for food.

Most of the remaining meats are not very good, and after all, good pork is also higher. As for pigs, if no one wants them, they will keep them for themselves and make do with them.

In previous years, the two pigs raised by the Sang family could be sold at the best price, which was a guarantee for whether the family could have a good New Year. However, the two pigs raised this year had to be killed by themselves, and the more than three taels of silver, nearly four taels of silver were gone. How could Mu not feel sorry for him!

Sang Ye chuckled and did some calculations for Mu: "Mom, live pigs are only six or seven cents a pound, but the pork in the town costs seventeen or eighteen cents.

Wen. The big one in our house is about 180 kilograms. If you kill them, you can get rid of the skin, fur and internal organs and then you can get 140 kilograms of bone-containing pork. This is much more cost-effective than buying it in the town."

The key is that building a workshop is not a matter of a short time. The Master Azusa who does the hard work is particularly good at eating it. Ten people consume at least five kilograms of pork a day, and even their own family members have to eat it. By doing this, a whole pig is not enough, and maybe you have to go to the town to buy some back in the end.

After hearing this, Mu really calculated it silently. It was only in the end that even if she killed pigs and removed bones and skins, it was more cost-effective than the bone-wearing pork bought in the town. At least those bones can be mixed with corn cobs and stewed several large pots of bone soup, even if the pigs were put into water, they could be made into a good dish for guests.

After calculating the construction period of the workshop, Mu finally had to admit that it was indeed more cost-effective to kill his own pig, so he immediately made the decision: "So, as your brother and sister said, you will kill the big one in the house tomorrow. The prepared pork will be wrapped in oil paper and dropped it into the well, so that it will not break even if it is ten days or half a month."

Sang Laoshi and others also agreed to kill their pigs and entertain the masters. Seeing that Mu had agreed, they naturally had no objection and began to arrange for the pig killing tomorrow.

"Oh, I'm going to kill pigs, I'm going to kill pigs!" As soon as I'm going to kill pigs, Sanguo and others cheered excitedly.

If adults don’t like to kill pigs very much, the bold children like it particularly. Watching and shave pig hair is a thrilling and interesting thing. Anyone who dares to watch likes to join in the fun. Every year, people in the village kill New Year’s pigs, and there must be a circle of children watching around.

This is how Sangguo and the little guys are. In addition, since they were young, they have only seen others kill New Year pigs, but they have never seen themselves kill them. This time, it is rare for the family to kill pigs. They feel more like pride in their hearts. They plan to tell the friends who are good at playing tomorrow morning and invite them to come and see them together.

Only Huan'er, who had never seen a pig killer, looked at her brothers and sisters for no reason, and didn't understand why they were so happy. Is it fun to kill pigs?

After cheering, Xiaoshan shook Mu's arm and said with a flattering look on his face: "Grandma, the pig's belly is so big, there is a lot of lard in it, right? When the pig is killed tomorrow, will it be necessary to refine the lard?"

Mu didn't know what the young grandson was thinking, and poked his head with a laugh and cry: "You kid, you are all focused on eating, don't worry, when the pig's belly is opened tomorrow, grandma will refine the lard and leave a plate of oil for you and your brothers and sisters."

Xiaoshan was very happy and said he was not rich if he was coaxing people: "Thank you, grandma, grandma is the best, Xiaoshan likes grandma the most!"

Mu was coaxed by his grandson and smiled, so he stopped talking about his greedy words.

The others were also amused by Xiaoshan, especially the few mulberry fruits that my grandmother promised. As soon as I think about it, I can eat delicious oil residue immediately, and I am even more looking forward to tomorrow's pig killing.

...

The next day, everyone in the Sang family got up early and started preparing to kill pigs after breakfast. The pigs were killed in the yard. Two benches had been set up in the center of the yard in advance. They just waited to grab the pigs and press them on the bench to kill them, and then poured them on the boiling water that had just boiled and shaved them.

The pig was very strong, and even the two adults couldn't catch them even when they struggled. So besides the Sang family's father and son, Sang Lin also went to the village to call the two little boys over to help.

The two little pigs who were yelling in the pigpen, and said enviously: "Uncle, these two pigs in your family were caught only last winter. They have grown so big in less than ten months. It's really good!"

Sang Hushi was also very happy and said happily: "It's all well-raised by Xiaoer and his sister. He is willing to spend time finding them the food they like, and sometimes he even gave them three meals, so that they grow so quickly."

Since Mulberry Leaf returned, she was mostly in charge of the two pigs at home. Relying on the ability of plants to communicate, Mulberry Leaf can always find fat pig grass, which pigs love to eat. If you eat too much, you will naturally grow faster and will easily gain weight. It is a circle bigger than other people's pigs.

At this time, Mu walked out of the kitchen and urged: "The water has been boiled. You should go and kill pigs quickly. I will be busy later!"

After hearing this, Sang Lin and others stopped chatting and walked into the pig pen with the ropes prepared on the side.

br      //

Soon, the bigger pig was tied up with a rope by the mulberry forest. Perhaps because he knew that today was his death, the pig opened his mouth and howled in a miserable way. The screams were sharp and harsh, which made people feel particularly uncomfortable.

The most uncomfortable thing was mulberry leaves. She felt uncomfortable. She was about to be killed after she had been fed for so long. She couldn't bear it. She stayed under the stove and continued to add firewood to keep the water in the pot. She did not stand at the kitchen door like her mother and two sisters-in-law.

But Sanguo and his friends were particularly not afraid, and they had already pulled their friends to stand under the eaves and looked at them with relish. Until the screams of the pigs sounded, they had to cover their buzzing ears that were buzzing, but their eyes were still staring at them.

Huan'er was also very curious about killing pigs and stood in the crowd to watch. However, when he saw the pig that he had teased was pressed to the ground and screamed, he felt a little reluctant. He wanted to go to play with his mother, but was held back by Xiaoshan and insisted that he stay with him to watch.

Soon, the four legs of the big fat pig were tied up with ropes. The four of them worked together to lift the pig onto the bench and pressed the struggling pig desperately.

Below the bench is the position of the pig's neck, and a huge clay pot has been placed on it. If a white knife is stabbed into the pig's neck, pig blood will flow into the clay pot.

This pig blood is a very nutritious product. When the time comes, put some salt in the basin and wait for the pig blood to solidify, then cut it into pieces with a knife. Whether it is for soup or stir-frying, it will be a smooth and delicious dish.

Sang, who was responsible for killing pigs, honestly held the early-sharpened pigs knife, and pointed at the pig's throat and stabbed it in.

Killing is a matter of harming good deeds. As long as you are not a pervert, you will choose to kill yourself with one knife. In this way, the pig can suffer less and not suffer too much from death.

Of course, some people lose their accuracy or lack strength. They don’t even kill the pig without a knife, but let the pig run away. In this case, the pig slayer will give up killing the pig on this day, and choose another good day to burn incense and worship the gods before killing them.

Not only pigs, but also chickens and ducks.

Sang's honest movements were quick and accurate. With this knife, the blood from the pig's neck flowed into the clay pot without spraying it at all. The pig on the bench didn't even struggle and soon disappeared.

"Hurry, hurry up, put the water quickly, while the pig is still hot, shaving the hair is the cleanest." Mu quickly called Yu and Liu to go to the pot to scoop boiling water, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were busy in the kitchen yard.

Under the eaves, a child slapped in anger and said, "Wow, Grandpa Sang is so powerful. He killed the pig in one go, but the pig didn't move! In the future, my family also asked Grandpa Sang to kill the pig. The person he hired last year was not good at all. He stabbed my pig three times on the neck to kill it, but it hurt my pig to death!"

Xiao Shanyu Youyou Yan raised his chin and said proudly: "That's right, my grandfather is the best, my father and my second uncle are also great. They are very strong and they don't let the pig move, so my grandfather can be accurate."

"Then my family will ask Grandpa Sang to kill chickens during the New Year. My father will always be unable to kill chickens, so he often lets the chickens run away."

"Yes, yes, my grandfather ran away to kill the chicken and asked me to chase him, but I was exhausted!"

“…”

A group of children were chattering and talking, and no one saw that Huan'er was leaning against the wall weakly, with pale faces without a trace of blood, and he could hardly stand firmly.

Just as the white knife bucket entered the pig's neck, somehow a very cruel scene suddenly appeared in Huan'er's little head: he saw many people lying on the ground covered in blood, with red blood flowing on the ground, and more than a dozen broken hands and feet. Some people struggled and crawled on the ground, crying and trying to escape, but he felt that those people could not escape.

It seemed that the unpleasant smell of blood could be smelled in his breath. Huan'er vomited unconsciously, but nothing was vomiting out. Her body became softer and gradually slid down and couldn't even sit steadily and lay directly on the ground.

On the other side, Xiaoshan, who was talking to Huan'er, wanted Huan'er to say a few words, but after shouting a few times, he didn't hear Huan'er respond. Then he turned his head to look for someone. He saw Huan'er lying slanted, lying on the ground with his eyes closed. He was so scared that he threw himself on Huan'er and cried: "Brother Huan, what's wrong with you?

, What's wrong with you?"

Xiaoshan's cry alarmed the children, the kitchen and the adults who were busy in the yard.

When she heard Xiaoshan calling Huan'er, Sang Ye was so scared that she threw away the water and ran out of the kitchen. Through the figure, she saw Huan'er lying motionlessly on the ground. She rushed forward and pushed away the child around Huan'er, and picked Huan'er up from the ground: "Huan'er, what's wrong with you? Can you tell me something to you?"

Huan'er's little face was pale without a trace of blood. She looked very frightened. It was not until he felt his mother's familiar embrace that he became more stable. He gradually opened his eyes and said intermittently: "Mom, blood, so much blood, so many dead people are lying on the ground..."

Sang Ye's face suddenly changed, and he hugged Huan'er tighter, and his voice trembled and said incoherently: "Those are all fake, none of them are real. Huan'er should not think about it. Nothing you said exists, none of them are true. Huan'er should not be afraid. Mom is here, Mom will protect you well, and Huan'er also believes that Mom will protect you well, right?"

Huan'er hugged her mother tightly with dependent on her. I wonder if she believed it. She lit her little head and didn't say anything, nor did she have the strength to speak anymore.

Sang Lin, who was standing by, saw that his nephew was wrong, didn't even bother to wipe the blood and dirt on his hands, so he ran out of the yard to find the doctor.

"Xiao Ye, what's wrong with Huan'er?" Mu Shi touched her grandson's forehead lovingly, and saw a layer of sticky sweat appearing on her head, but her tentacles are very cold, and her worries and uneasiness are getting bigger and bigger.

Sang Ye knew very well why Huan'er was like this, but he couldn't tell the truth to his family. He could only shake his head: "This child was fine just now, and he didn't eat anything that was hard to melt in the morning. I don't know why this happened."

Others didn't know what was going on, and they all fell silent and could only wait for the doctor to come to see what the doctor said.

Not long after, Sang Lin invited the doctor.

This doctor is from Lijia Village, and is ranked seventh in the Li family. When the younger generation meets him, he calls him "Master Li Qi". Strictly speaking, Master Li Qi is not a doctor. He just went to the clinic to work as a medicine boy when he was young. Because he did not have the talent to study medicine, he was beaten home by the doctor within a few years.

Despite this, under the influence of the eyes, Mr. Li Qi knew many medicinal herbs. In the past, when he was in good health, he used to collect herbs for a living, and could also add several medicinal herbs to treat brain fever and sneeze.

Huan'er was too ill, but she didn't have any fever, and she had no other illnesses. For the time being, she could only ask Mr. Li Qi, who was half a bucket of water, to see him. It would be fine if Huan'er had nothing to do. If there was something, she would have to rush to the town to find a doctor.

Mr. Li Qi first touched Huan'er's neck, then opened Huaner's eyelids and looked at it. Finally, Huaner stuck out his tongue. After watching for a long time, he couldn't see any reason. He said hesitantly: "This child is probably scared. I will prescribe a pair of calming medicine later. If someone accompany him to sleep peacefully, maybe it will be fine."

Huan'er's reaction just now was too great, and the Sang family obviously didn't believe the answer. However, Sang Ye knew that the doctor was telling the truth, so he hugged Huaner and stood up and thanked: "Then it's a blessing for Mr. Li Qi."

Mr. Li Qi waved his hand indifferently, looking at the weak Huan'er, reminded: "Child is important. Be more alert as a mother. If something is wrong, hurry up and send the child to the town."

Children are frightened or small, but they may suddenly get burned, which can burn their brains. This is not a thing that can happen in all places.

Sang Ye responded repeatedly, even if there was no doctor's explanation, she would guard her son well, hoping that her son would not be as sick as that time, and she could not even feed water. It was almost a life she snatched back from the King of Hell.

-------------------

I remember when I was a child, three-quarters of the pigs were sold to villagers, and the remaining quarter was about 40 kilograms for the New Year. However, the scene of slaughtering pigs was too bloody and I didn’t dare to watch them since I was a child!

ps: I was so sleepy today. When the alarm clock rang, I thought about squinting for a while and got up to write. But I squinted it until my roommate called me o(╯□╰)o
