Jiang Yimian frowned.
A raging adult wild boar is incredibly strong, and even when injured, it should not be underestimated; she had underestimated it.
He immediately abandoned his contempt, gripped the rope tightly in his hand, and once again thrust the dagger in his other hand into the wild boar's wound.
At the same time, Lu Cijian finally appeared in the woods, holding a sharp machete and slashing at the wild boar that was restrained by a rope.
With a powerful strike, the wild boar let out a howl and tried to struggle to escape, but it was firmly controlled by the rope. It struggled on the spot for a while before losing its strength and collapsing to the ground with a thud, lifeless.
Jiang Yimian also gripped the dagger piercing the wild boar's flesh tightly and forcefully slashed open the boar's neck. Instantly, blood spurted out, and before the wild boar could even scream, it collapsed to the ground with a thud.
Zhao Dashu and the others who had already run over breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the wild boar fall down, and quickly went forward to check if the two were injured.
When Old Liu saw the two covered in blood, his legs went weak with fright. He stammered, "Yi... Yi Mian, Ci Jian, are you... are you alright? Are you hurt?"
As he spoke, he carefully observed them, as if afraid that the two of them might be injured by the wild boar.
Jiang Yimian shook her head, glanced at the red stains on her body from the wild boar, and said with a smile, "I'm fine. I don't have to worry about not having meat to eat this winter."
Two wild boars this big are enough for them to get through the winter.
Old Liu was still somewhat shaken. Even seeing two such large wild boars didn't make him happy. He just wondered, "Why did the wild boars end up here?"
I lived in the small depression for more than half a year and never saw any large wild animals come by. But in the autumn, wild animals came.
Lu Cijian coughed lightly and explained, "It's my fault for not tying the wild boars properly, which caused them to escape and scare you."
Old Liu finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was worried that animals used to live in the small depression, but they had run away, and that those wild animals would return in the coming days.
Hearing that it was Lu Cijian who had come, they breathed a sigh of relief, but worriedly instructed, "Cijian, if you go hunting in the future, you can invite Dayong and Dashu with you. It's too dangerous to go alone. Fortunately, nothing happened."
If two wild boars of that size were to go berserk and attack people, it wouldn't be a minor incident; it could result in fatalities.
Lu Cijian responded but didn't say anything more, though his brows remained slightly furrowed, as if he were deep in thought.
Jiang Yimian found it strange that this guy could escape from a tiger but couldn't handle two wild boars.
She had just seen that the two wild boars were badly injured and covered in wounds. In addition, their eyes were injured and they couldn't see the road very well. Even if Lu Cijian hadn't come, the wild boars would probably have run away exhausted after charging around in the forest a few times, and they wouldn't have been able to harm the people in the small depression.
Lu Cijian, like her, would never do anything without certainty; something must have happened on his way here.
Several women also rushed over at this time. When they saw that Jiang Yimian and Lu Cijian were covered in blood, they were quite frightened. They only breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that it was wild boar blood.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, the group decided to bleed and gut the wild boar right there in the woods.
Old Liu collected the blood from the pigs into a wooden basin. The blood from the two pigs filled two half basins. While the blood was still warm, he immediately added a lot of cold water to the basin.
Before long, the pig's blood in the basin congealed into lumps, leaving Jiang Yimian stunned. It was the first time she had ever seen someone make pig's blood.
I thought they would add some kind of chemical substance to make the pig's blood coagulate into lumps, but it turned out to be so simple.
Just add cold water to hot blood.
Jiang Yimian watched curiously from the side, but the others were used to it and only started to cut up the pig after the bleeding had stopped.
Old Liu's family used to raise pigs. Every year during the New Year, they would slaughter them and sell them for some money, keeping a small portion for themselves to eat during the New Year.
Therefore, Liu Dayong did it very skillfully, and with his well-sharpened machete, he directly gutted the pig, splitting the wild boar in two.
The pig's internal organs were instantly revealed to everyone.
Zhao Dashu and the others quickly came forward to help, removing all the edible offal before cutting the half-pig into pieces.
Old Liu and several women were responsible for carrying the cut meat into chunks home. Everyone worked in an orderly manner with a clear division of labor.
After working for almost an hour, we finally managed to clear the two wild boars out and wash away the bloodstains in the woods, as the strong smell of blood was quite unpleasant.
Seeing everyone busy burning off the wild boar's fur, Jiang Yimian also took a quick shower and changed her clothes.
Lu Cijian also cleaned herself up at Zhao Dashu's house and now wore the new clothes Zhao Dashu had made for her. She looked less disheveled and more refreshed and pretty.
Aside from the pants and cuffs being a bit short, everything else is fine.
Gou Sheng glanced at his own loose, baggy clothes, then at Zhao Dashu's well-fitting but ordinary clothes, and then at Lu Cijian's clothes. He couldn't understand it and muttered to himself, "These are all clothes made by Aunt Fengqin, so why do they look so different?"
He thought Ci Jian looked great in it, especially since it fit him perfectly.
He was dressed like a child wearing adult clothes. Big Tree Brother's clothes were very ordinary, but not as good-looking as Ci Jian Brother's.
Zhao Dashu nodded silently to the side. This guy looked thin, but he was actually quite strong, and his clothes actually fit him quite well.
Liu Xiaoyun was also somewhat surprised, and exclaimed in astonishment, "Ci Jian looks thin, but he's much more sturdy than Gou Sheng, and he's also tall. He can actually wear Da Shu's clothes."
The tree was already quite tall among the group, and it wasn't thin either. Unexpectedly, Lu Cijian, who looked tall and thin, was actually quite sturdy.
Unlike Gou Sheng, who looks thin and is actually thin, if his clothes are a little too big, it's like a child wearing adult clothes. Fortunately, the other person doesn't care, as long as he's not naked.
Wang Fengqin nodded, silently estimating the length and size of the clothes before continuing to process the wild boar bristles.
Wild boar bristles are coarse and stiff, making them difficult to shave, so Old Liu lit several torches to burn the bristles off the skin.
In an instant, the courtyard in front of the house was filled with the smell of smoke and fire.
The children were simply shooed aside by the adults.
It took a while for the smoky smell to dissipate, and Zhao Xing'er began to worry about how to clean those intestines. She couldn't bear to throw them away, but she was also worried about cleaning them.
The thought of what was inside made her feel inexplicably nauseous; she couldn't bear to think about it.
Liu Xiaoyun poured some flour into the basin and said with a smile, "I'll wash these things. After they're washed, we can make some sausages to eat."
She used to make a lot of sausages with her mother when she was a child, and she was very good at handling these things. It was only after coming to Xinghua Village that she stopped making them much, as the villagers didn't eat them much.
