This is an adult hedgehog. Judging from its size, it weighs about five or six kilograms.

Zhou Ziwen had good aim, and the axe hit the hedgehog's body just right, leaving a huge gap that almost split it in two.

The blood and entrails are marked.

The hedgehog was not dead yet and was struggling hard, but Zhou Ziwen was too strong, leaving it no room to resist.

As his proficiency in Bajiquan improved, his strength also continued to increase, and now he has a strength of two thousand kilograms.

With one blow of his axe, not only a small hedgehog but even a wild boar would suffer.

Just now, he was holding back on his strength. If he had used all his strength, it would be hard to say whether he could eat the hedgehog.

"Hedgehogs are good things!" Zhou Ziwen looked at the dying hedgehog with a look of surprise on his face.

The hedgehog is a small medicinal animal with high medicinal value.

Especially the skin of hedgehog, which is a traditional Chinese medicinal material. It has the effects of lowering qi and relieving pain, cooling blood and stopping bleeding, promoting qi and detoxifying, reducing swelling and relieving pain. It is mainly used to treat nausea and vomiting, hernia abdominal pain, intestinal wind and hemorrhoids.

Of course, the functions mentioned above are not the main ones. The main thing is that this thing can treat nocturnal emission and spermatorrhea, which is very important for men who are not very good at it.

Zhou Ziwen thought he could ask around in the village to see if anyone needed this, and maybe he could exchange it for some good things.

Of course, exchanging for good things is a small matter. The main thing is that he can't bear to see men suffer.

"How do you eat hedgehog meat?" Zhou Ziwen searched in his mind, and several ways of eating it emerged instantly. The simplest one should be sour hedgehog meat, but sour hedgehog meat requires sour papaya. He remembered that Uncle Wu had this thing at home, so he could go to his house later to ask for two.

Although he remembered the cooking methods of many delicacies, he had never eaten them. He didn't expect that in this era, he would be able to enjoy some delicious food.

After waiting for a while, the hedgehog was completely dead. Zhou Ziwen carefully picked it up and put it into a sack.

This thing has sharp thorns all over it, and it's easy to get hurt if you're not careful.

After putting out the fire on the ground, Zhou Ziwen picked up the sack that was still dripping with blood and walked towards home.

I have gained a lot from this trip to the mountains today.

Take it slow and steady, and come back to the mountains when there is no meat at home.

On the way home, a villager saw the sack dripping with blood in Zhou Ziwen's hand and asked curiously.

"I just met a hedgehog in the mountains, and it happened to fall into my hands. I'm going to have an extra meal today." Zhou Ziwen did not hide anything and answered happily.

"It's amazing! This thing is not easy to catch." The villagers looked surprised, but when they thought of Zhou Ziwen's ability, they understood a little.

Sure enough, those who have practiced boxing are different. They can hit their prey when they encounter it.

For those who have never practiced boxing, they only know that those who practice boxing are good at fighting, but they don’t know what methods they use.

In their minds, Zhou Ziwen was a very powerful man, and it was not surprising for him to catch prey.

After all, he is someone who can carry hundreds of kilograms of stones, and he is definitely different from ordinary people like them.

"Yeah, it was hard to catch. I almost let this guy get away." Zhou Ziwen nodded, then waved to him, "Brother Wang, I'm going back first. This thing needs to be dealt with quickly."

"Go get busy!" Wang Dafu said with a smile, but in his heart he was a little envious of Zhou Ziwen's ability.

Wang Dafu is Wang Dayou's elder brother. Wang Dayou works in Zhou Ziwen's mushroom group and tells them some things about the mushroom house when he returns home.

Their whole family is very grateful to Zhou Ziwen, a capable man.

Growing mushrooms is a skill that can make a living. In a few years, after the reform and opening up, if nothing else, at least starting a small business will not be a problem.

I heard that this batch of mushrooms in the mushroom house will be ripe soon. With this batch of mushrooms, maybe I can buy a few more pounds of meat this year!

On the way back home, he met several villagers on the road. They all saw the sack still dripping with blood and asked about it curiously. Zhou Ziwen answered them one by one. Soon, the news that Zhou Ziwen had caught a hedgehog began to spread in the village.

When he returned to the front door of his house, he glanced at the half-open gate of the courtyard next door and shouted, "Yiyi, come out quickly and see what good stuff I got."

“Dangdangdang!”

Just as Zhou Ziwen finished speaking, there was a sound of hurried footsteps. The next moment, the courtyard door opened, revealing the pretty face of Chen's little sister.

"Brother Ziwen, what a good stuff!" Chen Qiaoyi's bright black eyes turned and her gaze fell on the sack Zhou Ziwen was carrying.

"Come and see." Zhou Ziwen opened the sack with a smile.

"Is this a hedgehog? It has so many thorns!" Chen Qiaoyi shouted in surprise.

Behind him, Chen's eldest sister also came out and came to Zhou Ziwen with her younger sister.

"Brother Ziwen, is this hedgehog meat delicious?" Chen Qiaoyi's eyes were bright, and her greedy look made people want to pinch it.

"Of course it's delicious. Hedgehog meat is very nutritious, but hedgehog meat has a strong smell, so you have to use some heavy ingredients." Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.

"I believe in Brother Ziwen's craftsmanship." Chen Qiaoyi said with a smile.

"Okay, then I'll show you my skills today." Zhou Ziwen waved his hand, carried the sack back home, and started processing the hedgehog meat.

There are many good things on hedgehogs. In addition to the hedgehog skin, the hedgehog's thorns also have medicinal value.

The thorns of the hedgehog are also a traditional Chinese medicine and are called immortal thorns.

The thorn of the fairy has the effects of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, softening and dispersing lumps, consolidating essence and reducing urine, and astringing and stopping bleeding.

It has many functions and can treat many diseases.

For example: symptoms such as lower abdominal pain, joint pain, and worsening pain at night caused by qi stagnation and blood stasis, gastritis, gastric ulcer, rheumatoid arthritis, uterine fibroids, breast nodules, etc.; it can also be used to treat diseases such as prostate hyperplasia, abdominal hernia, spermatorrhea, and premature ejaculation caused by frequent urination in men.

Zhou Ziwen pulled out the hedgehog's thorns one by one and collected them together. He would see how to use them when his medical skills level reached a higher level.

After pulling out the thorns and peeling the skin, Zhou Ziwen took out the hedgehog's gallbladder.

Hedgehog bile is also a good thing. It can reduce inflammation and clear away heat. Especially for people who have just given birth, soaking hedgehog bile in wine can help them quickly get through the weak period.

After collecting all these, the hedgehog meat is almost processed.

In fact, hedgehog meat also has medicinal value. Eating it can replenish the lower abdomen, regulate stomach qi, and enhance appetite.

The hedgehog’s reputation as a medicinal animal is not an exaggeration. Its whole body is full of treasures and is very effective in nourishing the body.

After processing the hedgehog meat, Zhou Ziwen and Yiyi went to Wu Dagang's house together.

"Not bad, kid. I heard you got a hedgehog. That's a good thing." Wu Dagang started praising as soon as he entered the door.

"It spread so quickly?" Zhou Ziwen nodded, feeling somewhat helpless. He knew that if the villagers saw it, it would spread quickly. (End of this chapter)
