Xie Yan took a flashlight and carefully examined the enormous creature in the yard. What he saw there terrified him.

This was the first time he had ever seen a wild boar that hadn't been dissected. Although he had eaten a lot of wild boar meat, Yu Yuehui had always processed it and brought it back before.

In the courtyard, a huge body lay stiffly on its side.

It had sharp snout and fangs, and even though it was now lifeless with its eyes closed, its former ferocity still emanated from it, sending chills down one's spine.

Its body was covered in thick, long black fur, tangled together in a messy manner, each hair standing upright, with bloodstains clinging to it, making it look even more ferocious under the pale light.

Those two long fangs, like two sharp blades gleaming with cold light, exude a chilling aura. Even a fleeting glance is enough to send shivers down one's spine, as if one could see its majestic and awe-inspiring appearance as it once roamed freely through the mountains and forests.

Look at its strong limbs, with its muscles bulging and tendons taut. You can tell at a glance that it is a champion runner in the forest, and it must be quite active every day.

After looking the host over, Xie Yan nodded in satisfaction. "That's right, this is the kind of wild boar that's full of energy. Its meat is firm and tender, not only delicious but also very chewy."

After seeing the wild boars, Xie Yan was full of interest and prepared to see another pile. With the comparison of the wild boars, Xie Yan was sure that the next pile would definitely not be worse than the wild boars.

This made him even more excited, after all, there are few prey better than such a large wild boar!

Xie Yan's mind conjured up images of many rare and delicious meats.

Despite the speculation, Xie Yan was still deeply shocked when he saw it.

What came into view was a deer, and not a fawn, but a majestic adult male deer!

Xie Yan's eyes widened instantly, gleaming with barely suppressed excitement. As if he had just remembered something, he rushed to Yu Yuehui's side, trying to lower his voice, but his excited tone still trembled slightly: "Wife, where is its blood? Is it still there?"

By the end, his voice had dropped several decibels.

He seemed to already see the deer blood being wasted.

Yu Yuehui quickly pointed to the side and said to Xie Yan, "Look there!"

Xie Yan, hoping for the best, shone his flashlight and saw a large green kettle. Every household had one of these kettles; before wells existed, these kettles were the best way to store water.

Especially when carrying water from far away places, we use these large water jugs. The one in front of us is the biggest, and it can hold fifty kilograms of water.

Through the beam of the flashlight, Xie Yan could see clearly that four-fifths of the contents were filled with liquid.

He turned his head sharply to look at Yu Yuehui, his eyes filled with disbelief. His finger trembled as he pointed at the kettle, his words faltering as he stammered and cautiously asked, "All, all of them?"

Yu Yue smiled and nodded slightly.

In that instant, Xie Yan was so excited he almost jumped up, his heart feeling like it was about to leap out of his chest.

So much deer blood! It's a priceless treasure!

Without a second thought, he turned around, opened his arms, and prepared to give Yu Yue a big hug.

His wife is so good at managing the household frugally.

Just as she was about to hug him, Yu Yuehui calmly raised her hand and steadily blocked Xie Yan's embrace.

Xie Yan slammed on the brakes, looking at Yu Yuehui with a mixture of grievance and disbelief, "Wife, you've changed!"

Seeing this, Yu Yuehui hurriedly explained, her face filled with a indulgent and doting smile, "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm dirty. Have you forgotten that I haven't been home for two days? I've been living like a wild man on the mountain for two days! I'm covered in mud and smell of fish. Are you sure you can handle it if I really hug you?"

Xie Yan: "Ah!"

Oh! I really forgot!

I was just too excited!

How embarrassing!

He patted his head lightly and chuckled foolishly, "I was so excited that I completely forgot about this."

He tried to salvage the situation by saying, "Honey, there's hot water boiling in the house. Would you like to go take a shower?"

Sigh! You really can't blame him. Who could resist seeing so much precious deer blood?

It's the kind of thing that's been lost and then found again—who wouldn't be excited!

Even though the deer blood has always been there and has never been lost, in his heart it has already been lost once.

Yu Yue shook her head. "No rush. I'll wash them after I've dealt with them all."

After speaking, Yu Yuehui reached out her hand to Xie Yan, who naturally took out one of Yu Yuehui's belongings from his own space—a very sharp "kitchen knife".

She flexed her wrists, walked up to the wild boar, and began to skillfully dissect it.

Xie Yan pulled his military overcoat tighter and silently stepped forward to shine a flashlight on Yu Yuehui.

Yu Yuehui swung the cleaver, gently placing it on the sturdy wild boar skin. The effortless movement gave it a smooth, almost tofu-like feel.

Xie Yan watched as pieces of wild boar meat were removed from the boar's body. In less than a moment, the wild boar, weighing over 300 pounds, was reduced to just its skin.

If Xie Yan didn't like eating meat with bones, Yu Yuehui could have cleaned all the bones off.

She was very good at this; she could pick the bones out so cleanly that they were even cleaner than a dog could lick.

Xie Yan stared at the cleanly removed pigskin, his face full of surprise. He looked around incredulously, confirming again and again that it really was just a smooth pigskin, without even a trace of meat left on it.

He turned his head sharply to look at Yu Yuehui, his eyes full of admiration, and exclaimed sincerely, "Wife, you're amazing! With your skill, others might not be able to catch up even after studying for more than ten years!"

Yu Yuehui gently shook her wrist, laughing freely and casually, and said, "What's so special about it? It's just a matter of getting used to it after doing it a lot. There's no skill involved. Anyone can do it after doing it for a long time."

Xie Yan: "..."

If he didn't know Yu Yuehui's personality, he would have thought that Yu Yuehui was in Versailles.

As far as he knew, Yu Yuehui had never done the butchering before. This year, it was Yu Yuehui who suggested not selling all the game they caught, but keeping some for themselves. Only after that did Yu Yuehui begin butchering the game himself. Before that, this task had always been handled by Lao Zhang.

To achieve such results in such a short time is simply genius.

But Yu Yue felt from the bottom of her heart that cutting meat was just a matter of practice making perfect, and anyone could do it well with enough practice. She didn't think there was anything special about it.

However, she was still very happy to receive Xie Yan's praise. After all, who wouldn't like to be praised?

Seizing the opportunity, Yu Yuehui brandished her knife, took out another large basin, and began the same operation on the deer over there.

Having practiced before, Yu Yuehui's knife strikes became even faster, making Xie Yan tremble with fear. He dared not breathe loudly or say anything, for fear of affecting Yu Yuehui.
