Ning Xiyue touched her wrist and saw 001 beside her, and had some ideas.
"001, can you help me kill the pig?"
The robot butler slowly shook his mechanical head and said emotionlessly: "I'm sorry, Master. 001 doesn't know how to butcher pigs and cannot serve you. Please forgive me."
"Can it be set up?" Ning Xiyue touched her chin and thought about the feasibility.
The little turtle next to her made a sound, breaking Ning Xiyue's fantasy.
"Host, 001 cannot help you slaughter a pig. Pig slaughtering is too professional a job for a household assistance robot. However, 001 can help you massage the pig while you are slaughtering it."
"What about you? Can you help me kill the pig?" Ning Xiyue then looked into the little turtle's eyes and asked sincerely.
The system turtle was speechless for a moment, then turned away and spit out two cold words: "No."
"All right."
Ning Xiyue was a little disappointed, but not discouraged. She believed that there would always be a way out when the time came.
At worst, she could just kill the pig herself. She had watched a butcher kill a pig during the Chinese New Year, and she had memorized all the steps in her mind.
But she will not give up trying to figure out how to completely free her hands from killing pigs.
Ning Xiyue repeatedly pinched her wrists, as if she was looking for a suitable massage method in advance to relieve the pain after slaughtering the pig, so as to soothe her tired hands.
The little turtle saw her pinching her hand and felt sorry for her, so he spoke awkwardly to remind her:
"The host can try the daily sign-in, or pay attention to the system recycling mall to find ways to help the host kill pigs."
"Yeah, okay."
Hearing this, Ning Xiyue nodded thoughtfully.
She has to use the daily sign-in, try to sign in for something useful, and then listen to the system's instructions to check the system recycle bin every day to see if there are any good things to exchange.
Ning Xiyue was thinking that she had to find an opportunity to go to the county slaughterhouse to try and see if she could sign any related goodies.
However, after wandering around outside the slaughterhouse several times without triggering the check-in location, Ning Xiyue gave up on this location.
I didn't find anything useful in my daily sign-ins. Although the system recycle bin was updated every day with different items appearing, there had never been any tools suitable for killing pigs.
But fortunately, she did not make no progress at all. She had already found a batch of slaughtering tools specially used by butchers.
When she slaughters the pig herself, she doesn't have to worry about not having any tools to use and can just use the kitchen knife.
This was the only thing that made her happy.
The pigs in the pigsty grew bigger day by day, consuming a lot of her pig feed, and their average weight increased from 150 kilograms to 300 kilograms.
The tool that would free her hands from killing pigs never appeared.
On a dark, windy and moonless night, Ning Xiyue stood outside the pigpen fence in the space and watched the fat and big pigs lying in the pen and sleeping peacefully, grunting from time to time.
She turned around, took out the whetstone, and sat outside the pigpen to sharpen the tools for slaughtering pigs.
When the little turtle flew out of the pigpen, he saw Ning Xiyue sharpening a butcher knife on a stone. The astonishing cold aura, the quick movements, and the flash of cold light on the blade made it fly high with its claws waving. It flew to a safe place, stopped, and asked cautiously.
"Host, why don't you wait? How long will it take to kill all these pigs?"
"Today is February 12, 1977, the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month. Over the past six months, there's been no sign of improvement. I've given up waiting."
Ning Xiyue sharpened the butcher knife in her hand for stabbing the throat, and then took out the boning knife for prying bones and continued to sharpen it. She didn't stop talking and continued to speak to the system.
"It's almost the New Year, and I have a winter holiday and nothing to do. Starting tonight, I will come in and kill a pig every night before going to bed. This way, I can eat fresh meat during the New Year and don't have to spend money to buy New Year's goods outside."
Ning Xiyue looked at the pigpen inside the pigsty.
"Twenty-two pigs, at most it would take twenty-two days to slaughter them. If you're in a good mood, you can come and slaughter one more each day. If you're not in the mood, you can still come and slaughter pigs. If you have nothing to do, you can just come and kill pigs to kill time. I think it won't take even twenty-two days. We can finish slaughtering them in a few days, and spreading the slaughtering out won't tire you out."
Ning Xiyue was determined to kill the pig tonight.
The little turtle looked towards the yard and saw the blazing fire in the stove built by the robot housekeeper, the pig-slaughtering table and the boiling water in the big iron pot. It understood that the host was ready to slaughter the pig tonight.
The little turtle immediately raised his paw and said, "Host, I can help you press the pig."
"Okay, you and 001 help hold the pig down, and I'll be in charge of killing it. I'm sure we can finish it quickly."
Ning Xiyue really wanted to knock the pig unconscious before killing it, as that would make killing the pig much easier. However, the drugged pig would affect the pork, and the unconscious pork would not taste good.
After thinking about it, I decided to forget it.
With the combined efforts of a unified robot and a strong martial artist, she believed they could easily kill a pig.
It's not a big deal.
After sharpening all the butcher knives in the box, Ning Xiyue stood up and walked towards the circle.
"Come on, the knife is sharpened, let's start killing the pig."
She was followed by 001 and the little turtle, walking towards pigpen number one.
There was a pig in each pigpen. Ning Xiyue had already planned to kill the pigs in pigpen number one at the door and then go to each pigpen below until all twenty-two pigpens were killed.
Walking into pigpen No. 1, the pig inside seemed to sense the danger it was about to face. It was originally lying on the ground and sleeping soundly, but after Ning Xiyue entered, it opened its eyes and stood up tremblingly.
