If she says she didn't do it on purpose, Yi'er should believe her, right?

Although Gu An'an sometimes had a headache with Jiang Mingyi's obsessive-compulsive nature, being clean was a good thing after all, better than being sloppy and unclean, right?

Seeing that the boy had run faster than a tiger cub, Gu An'an felt that he must be very angry.

But she really didn't do it on purpose.

The key issue is that all that pig's blood was wasted.

It would normally be a good ingredient for making soup.

What a pity.

With great difficulty, Gu An'an moved the table over and dragged the wild boar onto it. She then carefully bled the boar.

Actually, getting a little blood on your hands isn't a big deal; look at her, she's used to it.

The other children in the family were very excited about the little tiger bringing back a wild boar.

Jiang Mingxu and Bao'er even went to the stables to see the wild beasts that were resting.

Jiang Mingzhu, however, sensed something was amiss. Seeing the bloodstains on the ground, she realized what was going on. "That's just how my brother is, Mother, don't take it to heart."

The children in the family are all very clever and quick-witted; they can tell something from the smallest details.

"No way, Zhu'er, go check on your brother. I'm afraid he might do something rash."

Jiang Mingzhu: "..." Actually, my brother isn't that fragile. Mother's worries are really unnecessary.

The east room had been tidied up neatly long ago, but Mother had told them that they should be polite and knock on the door to inform the owner before entering.

Jiang Mingzhu didn't hear a response, but she did hear the sound of water.

She instantly understood what was going on. "Brother, it's me."

After a while, the door finally opened, and the person inside had a slight blush on their face, as if their face had been rubbed and turned over repeatedly.

Jiang Mingzhu was stunned for a moment and took back what she had said earlier. In fact, her brother was quite vulnerable in some ways.

"Mom said your clothes are dirty and asked me to take them over to wash."

"No need." The clothes were stained with blood, and it wouldn't be easy to wash them clean. The main problem was that washing clothes in such cold weather could easily hurt my hands. "I can do it myself."

There was a clump of blue long gown on the ground. Jiang Mingzhu picked it up. "Mother said she'll make you a new dress later. She didn't do it on purpose. She wants me to apologize to you on her behalf."

"I'm not angry." Jiang Mingyi didn't consider himself a petty person, but the smell of blood just wouldn't go away, which was really infuriating.

He hates the smell of blood.

I really hate it.

Jiang Mingzhu ignored him and carried the pile of clothes outside. But when she reached the door, the girl suddenly remembered something, stopped and turned back, saying, "Brother, there's still a drop of blood on your ear."

The girl's ear-pulling action sent chills down Jiang Mingyi's spine. He hurriedly grabbed a cloth to rub it, but found no blood.

"I fooled you, brother, you're so cute."

The person who did the bad thing ran away so fast that Jiang Mingyi didn't even have time to change the smile on his face.

Was he tricked by his own sister?

Being teased is not a good thing, but thinking of Pearl's cheerful little face just now, I thought, oh well, let her be laughed at.

It's rare to see Pearl looking like this.

The repulsive smell of blood seemed to have faded considerably.

When Jiang Mingyi came out of the room, he saw Gu An'an busy there.

The wild boar's skin had been mostly peeled off, revealing a bloody and mangled mess of flesh.

Jiang Mingyi glanced around instinctively and breathed a sigh of relief when he found no one else in the courtyard.

If Bao'er and Mingxu saw such a bloody scene, they'd probably have nightmares every night.

As soon as Jiang Mingyi approached, Gu An'an had already peeled off the entire wild boar skin along the muscle fibers.

A whole skin was thrown to the ground, with drops of blood scattered in the courtyard.

"Yi'er, go and get some lime."

Gu An'an wanted to clean the wild boar hide, and she needed to use some lime.

I used it when I was making wolf skin last time, but wolf skin needs to be protected by its fur.

Wild boar? We don't need that, do we?

"Wild boar hides are thick, so they would be good for making armor."

Jiang Mingyi frowned when he saw the bloodstains on her clothes. "Don't you want to rest for a bit?"

It's been an hour and a half since early this morning.

I'm probably a little tired too.

Gu An'an didn't even look up. "You're coming? Be careful not to get your clothes dirty."

She spoke in a very calm tone, but Jiang Mingyi felt uncomfortable listening to her, as if he had been mocked.

The boy frowned, about to speak, when he heard Gu An'an's voice again, "Go and cook some porridge. I don't have time to cook, so you go and cook some porridge. Children shouldn't go hungry."

This wild boar needs to be processed quickly, otherwise the blood will seep into the meat and it won't taste good.

By the time Gu An'an finished processing the pig skin and pork, it was already noon.

The yard had been cleaned up, and there were still a few drops of blood on the ground, but it was impossible to tell that a wild boar had been slaughtered there.

"Mom, what are we having for lunch?"

Jiang Mingxu rushed over with great enthusiasm. He had been cooped up in the room all morning and was almost suffocating.

The boy has gained some weight recently, and he suddenly jumped off the kang (a heated brick bed), almost causing Gu An'an to miss him.

She hadn't eaten breakfast and was feeling a bit weak after a busy morning.

If Jiang Mingyi hadn't caught her shoulder, both the adult and the child would probably have fallen to the ground.

"You're not a three-year-old anymore, why are you still so reckless?"

Jiang Mingxu, who had been scolded by his older brother, immediately hugged Gu An'an's neck and said, "Mother, my brother is so fierce. He scolded me."

Jiang Mingyi's face darkened. How could he have been insulted for saying just one sentence?
