Chapter 255 Pig Sludge
After discussing it, the three of them decided that they definitely wouldn't be able to bring such a large wild boar back with them.
Besides, this pig is too big, the meat must be tough, smelly and taste terrible, there's no point in taking it back, what can I do with it as a specimen?
"Okay, let's do it this way. We'll remove the pig's belly and gallbladder, and take the pig's head back to prove that we hunted a big wild boar."
This pig must have been growing for who knows how many years. Its belly must be full of boils. It's definitely a good thing.
Besides pig stomach, wild boar gall is also a medicinal material, with the effects of clearing heat, calming the nerves, detoxifying, and promoting tissue regeneration.
It can treat epilepsy, infantile malnutrition, postpartum wind, red and swollen eyes, boils and carbuncles, burns and scalds, etc.
It is especially revered by the Korean people for its treatment of postpartum wind. It is said that wild boar gall is an essential tonic for Korean women after childbirth.
I once heard that Korean women do not observe the postpartum period; they drink a ladle of cold water as soon as they get up after giving birth, and carry their babies to work in the fields three days later.
It's unclear whether it's related to Korean women eating wild boar gallbladders, but this stuff definitely has an effect.
Wild boar stomach and gallbladder both have medicinal value, so I'll definitely take them with me for future use.
As for the pig's head, it was purely for show, to prove that they had killed a big wild boar.
As for other meats, forget about them; you really can't take them with you, and you wouldn't be able to eat them even if you did.
"Let's take these back and come early tomorrow morning. Who knows, there might be a surprise."
How many carnivores would eat such a large, dead wild boar?
Sheng Xiping deduced that in the next few days, many predators would definitely come attracted by the smell of blood.
If they lie in ambush nearby, wouldn't it be easy for them to catch their prey?
Upon hearing this, Wang Jianshe and the others' eyes lit up. "Why don't we come back tonight?"
These two guys are even more anxious than Sheng Xiping.
"No way, it's pitch black at night. If you can avoid staying in the mountains, it's too dangerous."
Sheng Xiping quickly shook his head. "Putting aside everything else, what if there are wolves? Three or five wolves would be fine, but what if a whole pack comes?"
Sheng Xiping is the team leader. If something happens to these people, wouldn't he be held responsible?
Upon hearing this, the two agreed and decided to abandon the idea.
Then Wang Jianshe and Chen Weiguo started cutting off the pig's head, while Sheng Xiping squatted down and searched for the pig's stomach and gallbladder from the mess of pig offal.
The wild boar was huge, and its belly, needless to say, was enormous too. I bet it still contained the berries and pine nuts we ate last night; it was quite heavy.
Sheng Xiping thought for a moment. This thing was quite heavy, so why not cut it open, pour out all the food inside, and just take the stomach back with it?
So, Sheng Xiping took his stomach and walked to the side, found a shady spot with snow, and cut his stomach open with a knife.
Holding the pig's belly with one hand, he flipped it over along the opening with the other, and the contents poured out.
How can anything that's already in your stomach taste good? It'll be sour and smelly, it'll be absolutely awful.
If it weren't for the fact that this belly would be useful, Sheng Xiping wouldn't have bothered with this thing.
After emptying the food from the pig's stomach, Sheng Xiping picked up some snow from the ground and rubbed the inside of the pig's stomach with it, roughly cleaning it.
Then I saw that the pig's stomach had been turned inside out, and inside were lots of fleshy growths, which are what people call boils. This pig's stomach would definitely be effective when used in medicine.
After cleaning the pig's stomach, Sheng Xiping took a bag out of his pocket and put the pig's stomach inside.
He turned back and rummaged through the offal again, finding pig gallbladders in the pig liver.
Good heavens, this pig's gallbladder is huge, several times bigger than an adult's fist, about the size of an eggplant.
To ensure the integrity of the pig's gallbladder, Sheng Xiping held the bile duct with one hand and used a knife to cut downwards along the liver lobe as closely as possible with the other.
But when he touched the gallbladder, he suddenly felt something was wrong. Why did it feel so rough?
What's inside the bile duct? Why would it feel rough to the touch?
Sheng Xiping had a sudden thought and immediately stopped cutting the gallbladder. He put the knife aside and carefully felt the bile duct with his hand. There seemed to be some hard, granular things inside.
Sheng Xiping quickly reached out and squeezed the pig's gallbladder, and suddenly discovered that there seemed to be hard lumps inside the gallbladder.
For some reason, the words "pig litter" popped into Sheng Xiping's mind.
Pig gallstones, not cinnabar, are stones found inside pigs.
It is well known that many animals have stones in their bodies.
The most frequently heard of substance is bezoar, which is a gallstone from cattle. It is a very precious medicinal material with a wide range of uses, and bezoar is an essential ingredient in many medicines for clearing heat and detoxifying.
Besides bezoar, there are also horse gallstones, sheep gallstones, and monkey gallstones, which are also used in medicine.
The pig's internal organs can also develop a type of gravel or stone-like stone, known as swine gallstones.
Some say it grows inside a pig's stomach, while others say it grows inside the pig's gallbladder, bile duct, or hepatic duct.
It is said that this substance is even rarer than bezoar and has higher medicinal value. In later generations, it was rumored that it had been speculated to be worth 100,000 yuan per gram, making it much more precious than bear bile, musk, and the like.
To be honest, Sheng Xiping has lived two lives and hunted for many years. He has killed countless wild boars and has never encountered a boar burr.
He had only heard his teacher's wife talk about it, saying that her father had seen her once and knew roughly what she looked like.
So when Sheng Xiping touched the hard, lump-like thing inside the pig's gallbladder, the word "pig gallbladder" immediately came to mind.
If this really is pig gallbladder, it's worth a fortune, more valuable than several bear gallbladders.
Sheng Xiping dared not be negligent. He carefully removed the pig's gallbladder, wrapped it in a piece of white cloth, and put it in his pocket.
