Chapter 118 Killing Pigs

The atmosphere was interrupted, Zhao Yeqing opened his eyes and stood up with a red face.

"Well, I'll go see if Xiaohong is back."

Huhu, who was walking around and rubbing against the two people's feet and acting coquettishly, suddenly left for some reason.

After being stunned for a second, he decided to continue asking for a hug at Mu Xi's feet.

Snow Cake in the corner of the room has turned his eyes away.

Huhu raised its head and meowed again in a soft voice. Mu Xi sneered, grabbed it by the scruff of the neck, opened the window and threw it out.

The window was only half a meter from the ground, and Huhu, who landed safely, only felt aggrieved.

Mu Xi’s back teeth were almost broken.

Zhao Yeqing ran out of the house, fanning his face with his hands, and only regained his senses when the temperature on his face dropped.

I walked around the meadow near my home but didn't see it, so I circled my fingers, placed them on the tip of my tongue and blew a whistle.

After a while, the sound of horse hooves could be heard.

This is the command I trained Xiaohong to do when I took her out to eat grass. She will come to me when I blow the whistle.

When it arrived in front of him, Xiaohong had not finished chewing the grass in her mouth.

Zhao Yeqing guessed that it must be full so he pulled it back.

Mu Xi had already unloaded the ramie from the cart in the yard.

When she approached, the two looked at each other, and the temperature on Zhao Yeqing's face tended to rise again.

Mu Xi changed the subject, "Your hand is injured. This job hurts your hand a lot, so don't do it. I'll do it."

Zhao Yeqing nodded randomly and led the horse into the stable.

She couldn't tell what she was feeling. She was shy at first, but when she saw Mu Xi acting as if nothing had happened, she felt uncomfortable again.

She gritted her teeth and cursed inwardly, "Stinky men are different. I think he is very experienced."

Mu Xi didn't know why this man turned around to tie up a horse, and came back seeming a little angry again.

He tried to find a topic to start with, "Do you have time? Can you help me get the ramie knife?"

"oh!"

He was still ordering people around, which made me even angrier.

But he still went to the tool room, took out the ramie knife and handed it to him.

In fact, he doesn't need the ramie knife at all now, it will only be used in the following steps.

He just didn't know what was wrong with Zhao Yeqing and why he ignored him again, so he was just making small talk.

Zhao Yeqing also felt that he was very strange.

It feels like my menstrual period, and I always have some weird emotions in my heart.

She gathered the drying clothes from the back of the house and went back to her room to put them away.

From the corner of his eye, he peeked out of the window and saw Mu Xi looking in from time to time, looking confused and at a loss.

She had never seen such emotions in Mu Xi.

Thinking of this, I felt a little comforted. The source of this comfort seemed to be the certainty of my own uniqueness.

Zhao Yeqing, who had been a solo student since birth, was a little stunned at this moment. This unfamiliar emotion was a little unexpected for her.

She became so hypocritical.

Outside the window, Mu Xi was mechanically and repeatedly breaking ramie in his hands, and from time to time he stretched his neck to poke his head inside.

Zhao Yeqing pushed open the door, took a bench and sat next to him.

She reached out and took the ramie from his hand, "Let me break it... It's okay with your hands, I'll wear gloves and break it with my fingers, so I won't touch the wound. You go cook, and I'll leave the skinning to you later."

Mu Xi stopped her hand movement and looked into her eyes, as if questioning but also affirming, "You are unhappy."

The tone was helpless and slightly panicked.

Inexplicably cute.

Zhao Yeqing felt that his hypocrisy was even more unreasonable, and couldn't help but stretched out his hand to pinch his face, "No, go quickly."

Mu Xi touched his face and walked into the kitchen in a daze.

I feel pretty good now.

Zhao Yeqing was breaking ramie and humming a song.

The stems inside are crispy. To make hemp rope, you only need the skin of the ramie stems. Break the stems with your hands, peel off the skin and put it aside.

Mu Xi came out of the kitchen again, "I forgot to bring back the wild boar."

Zhao Yeqing also forgot about it. He had originally planned to bring back the ramie first, but he forgot about making the sauce when he came back.

"I'll go with you and lend a hand."

The wild boar she killed was not big, probably about 100 pounds.

Mu Xi didn't let her follow him. "Your hand is injured, so just stay at home. I'll lead the horse and be back soon."

Zhao Yeqing nodded in agreement only after seeing that he was carrying a gun.

A lot of ramie was harvested this time. In the past, the elderly would use ramie to make clothes, which were very breathable to wear in summer and not hot at all.

She had never learned this skill, and being able to twist a hemp rope was her limit.

After almost finishing the ramie, Mu Xi took Xiao Hong and the wild boar back home.

She was worried that the wild boar would be eaten by other animals or her companions, but now it seems that the bullet was not wasted.

Mu Xi unloaded the wild boar and planned to dissect it outside the yard.

Several dogs also returned home with their flocks of sheep. Da Huang looked at them from afar and barked a few times. Only when he found out that the sheep were dead did he dare to approach. The other little dogs had never seen such a thing before, so they paced in place and dared not move forward.

Zhao Yeqing called a few dogs over, patted their heads and scratched their chins to comfort them, "I'll give you a snack tonight!"

I was planning to kill the chicken I caught two days ago today, but it looks like it’s not in good shape again.

Mu Xi fed the pheasant two handfuls of rice and planned to keep it for the time being.

The wild boars would provide them with enough food for a long time.

While Mu Xi was dissecting the wild boar, he was talking to Zhao Yeqing about the situation in the forest.

"Today there are about ten wild boars under the tree, some big and some small. I feel that this is not all of them. Generally, this number of people means that there is an overabundance of wild boars in the mountains."

This is just like a sleepy person meeting a pillow.

"Just when we were preparing to stock up on food for the winter, they were delivered to our doorstep."

Mu Xi also curled his lips and said, "I'll go to the woods to set up traps in a few days."

Zhao Yeqing nodded hurriedly, and did not forget to remind Mu Xi, "Cut off the entire pig's trotter. I want to smoke it into bacon."

Mu Xi was busy in the kitchen while Zhao Yeqing peeled out all the ramie, tied up the ramie skins and soaked them in water.

I have to soak it all night before I can continue tomorrow.

Zhao Yeqing went in to help, and Mu Xi had already taken out the steamed rice.

"It's time to eat."

Tonight we are having the wild boar version of the pig-killing dish, which is simple to prepare and can be prepared in one pot.

When I was a child, I lived in the mountains. My family didn’t raise pigs, so I had to go to Feng Chunyan’s house to eat the pig dishes.

They don't put sauerkraut in the pig-killing dishes here, probably because the wild boar has a strong taste, so Mu Xi still put some sauerkraut in.

The sauerkraut was made from the Chinese cabbages she grew. The Chinese cabbages grew fast, but the cabbages were not pickled long enough, so they were not very sour.

But even so, Zhao Yeqing still felt something stuck in his throat.

Finally, I took a bath while touching my belly.

After taking a shower, return to bed and gently dry your hair with a towel.

As the weather gets cooler, my hair dries more slowly. It also feels a bit hot when I warm myself by the fire, so I can only slowly dry it with a towel.

With her hair still half dry, Mu Xi came in after taking a shower.

Seeing that she was still drying her hair, I walked over, took the towel and helped her dry it.

The hair-wiping process also included a scalp massage. Zhao Yeqing was enjoying it when the movement on his head stopped.

She looked up in confusion and met Mu Xi's eyes, which seemed even deeper than in the afternoon under the quiet moonlight.

For a moment, she felt like a targeted prey.
