After that, several more were brought into the tent. Jing Ganyou looked at them expectantly, as if he wanted to see his own kind.
Disappointingly, everyone had only arm and leg injuries and soft tissue contusions; not a single person had a fracture.
He lay on his bed, feeling utterly hopeless, as if his life had lost all its luster. His "heroic deeds" would be remembered forever in the guard unit.
Li Gangtie walked into the tent and saw someone with a look of despair on their face.
He kicked him in exasperation: "If you have nothing to do, get up!"
Jing Ganyou felt so ashamed that he covered his face with his hands and said in great pain, "Captain, just leave me here to fend for myself. It's really too embarrassing!"
Li Gangtie chuckled, "If you know you're shameful, then practice more. You think lying here will make you regain your dignity?"
Jing Ganyou remained silent. Li Gangtie, losing patience, kicked him again. "Hurry up, a bunch of people are waiting for you. None of them seem to care, but if you don't get up soon, who knows what kind of gossip will start."
Helpless, Jing Ganyou could only get up and follow Li Gangtie out of the tent. Seeing that everyone's expressions were normal and no one was giving him a second glance, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Gangtie raised an eyebrow, thinking that his instructions had really worked. His repeated admonitions hadn't been in vain; he hadn't made sure everyone didn't laugh at their colleague.
There was no mockery, but it still spread as an amusing anecdote after the event ended.
The only difference is that the name has been concealed.
This caused Jing Ganyou to have a strange expression on his face when he heard this, but he remained very calm and pretended that it had nothing to do with him.
When asked who this talented person was, Jing Ganyou simply replied, "Ah, I wasn't there, so I'm not sure."
Although he was annoyed by his teammates' gossip, he was also grateful that they hadn't exposed him.
Of course, that's a story for another time.
Jing Ganyou watched everyone slaughtering the pig and then realized what mistake he had made.
He put himself in that situation, thinking about how he would act if he were to go on stage again.
And so this scene unfolded: a man outside the stone wall, clenching his right fist and gesturing back and forth, his body swaying from side to side, almost running back and forth in sync with the movement of the large, fat pig inside the stone wall.
Jing Ganyou was eager to try, feeling that if everyone could butcher pigs, so could he. Overflowing with confidence, he went to report to Li Gangtie.
But there are only a limited number of pigs available, so it's not something he can just practice on whenever he wants.
Jing Ganyou was so eager to save face that he didn't think much about it. Li Gangtie couldn't bear to damage the other's confidence, fearing he might never recover.
Hearing this, Ye Wengui felt a pang of pain in his heart, but he still decided to give the other party a chance: "Well, since we're out of pigs, how about we give you a sheep to try?" It's a bit smaller, so surely it won't be turned into a eunuch this time.
Li Gangtie's eyes lit up. "Yes, let's use sheep, just like pigs."
Jing Ganyou was somewhat dissatisfied, but dared not object, and could only nod in agreement. He was already being given extra care; it would be ungrateful of him to make further demands.
Ye Wengui nodded in satisfaction and went to lead the sheep.
After the slaughtering of the pigs in the makeshift pigsty was completed, the group immediately let Jing Ganyou take over.
The sheep was no match for the pig and was quickly overpowered, finally bringing a relieved smile to Jing Ganyou's face.
The onlookers probably understood what was going on, and they all applauded in goodwill.
Jing Ganyou was deeply moved and quickly bowed to everyone in gratitude. It's fortunate he didn't know about the rumors that would follow; otherwise, hehe!
The slaughter lasted from dawn till dusk, and Shen Yanming deeply felt the "contempt" that the technical talents held for them, who were just sitting in offices.
Honestly, aside from writing articles, creating tables, and calculating data, I can't compare to them at anything. It's exhausting!
Comrade Shen didn't watch from beginning to end, because that would be too much of a waste of time. Ye Wengui arranged a mentor for them to teach them how to break it down.
It's not like you can just kill a pig and then wash your hands of everything. You still have to deal with the pig skin and hair, and you also have to remove the internal organs.
Although some of them are edible, they still need to be categorized.
If they catch a wild boar in the wild in the future and don't know how to handle it, wouldn't they be at a loss? So they still need to know how to do it, otherwise if someone stabs them with a knife, cuts open their intestines and releases the waste, would they still be able to eat the meat?
But these are all technical skills; you can't learn them without multiple attempts. That's why butchers' skills are passed down through generations—it's not something you can just learn by watching.
But they're just a crash course now, with limited time and resources. You can only learn as much as you can, and if you can't learn it, you'll have to find your own way.
Shen Yanming didn't know why the guards were in such a hurry to make arrangements, but since they were doing it this way, there must be a reason, so he just had to obey.
Bi Qiaoan didn't come to slaughter the pig. Firstly, it would take too long; she had to stay home to take care of her child. Secondly, women's physical strength and stamina are limited; she was afraid she wouldn't be able to slaughter it before the pig mauled her.
So they were assigned to kill rabbits and chickens, both small animals, which were easy to kill. However, being so inexperienced, they were almost terrified and cried out for their parents.
They'd always had the meat prepared for them before; they'd never seen anything so bloody. Less than half of them ended up vomiting, leaning against the wall.
The other half, though they swung their knives fiercely, failed to strike vital points due to inaccurate knife skills, which provoked the animals' ferocity, resulting in multiple scratches on their hands and faces.
Bi Qiaoan was probably the calmest one among them, but she wasn't having an easy time either. Although she had killed many people in the space, she had always killed them directly with her consciousness, and had never experienced wielding a butcher's knife.
I feel like I'm committing atrocities, but this world is a dog-eat-dog world where only the fittest survive.
She ruthlessly severed the rooster's neck, and the gushing blood splattered all over her.
Bi Qiaoan was pale. She took out a tissue from her bag to wipe the warmth off her face and tried to suppress the urge to vomit. Then, following the instructor's instructions, she plucked the feathers and finally gutted the chicken, removing the heart, liver, and intestines.
That ruthlessness was like that of a female demon.
Her teammates around her were trembling and unconsciously moved away from her. Bi Qiaoan was completely oblivious, as if she were an outsider.
Only after the instructor told her she had passed did Bi Qiaoan collapse to the ground, breathing heavily.
I wiped the cold sweat from my forehead, said goodbye, and went home.
The two babies had been left in the walker for too long and had already woken up. Although they were having fun in the walker, Bi Qiaoan felt uneasy because she wasn't there with them.
That's right, what gave her the greatest courage was An An and Nuan Nuan. She wanted to go back to her son and daughter as soon as possible, so she had to complete the mission.
Before she left, the instructor said, "We'll continue tomorrow. We'll teach you how to handle aquatic products like fish, shrimp, crabs, snails, and eels."
Bi Qiaoan nodded, indicating that she understood. But in her heart, she wondered, "Does this mean I have to teach them everything that flies, runs on the ground, and swims in the water?"
