After agreeing on how to mate the wild boar, someone immediately took action.
"Quick, call the pig butcher over here."
Good! There are butchers in all seven villages.
The most important thing is that everyone is in the threshing ground.
So several village chiefs immediately arranged for the people in their own villages to do so.
"Hurry up, those who know how to butcher a pig should go home and get the tools."
"My house is nearby, let me boil some hot water first."
"With so many wild boars, we need a lot of hot water. I'll go home and boil some water too."
"I'm going back to burn it too."
…
Killing a pig is a big celebration that only happens during the Chinese New Year. Every household in the village has a part in it, so needless to say, everyone participates enthusiastically.
The villagers from the other six villages were all delighted when they heard that they also had a share.
You should know that pork sold in the town costs ten cents per pound, and wild boar meat is even more expensive.
What's more, they have been catching locusts recently. As long as they are not lazy, every household can make a lot of money. Even if they don't give it to them, it is still okay to buy a pound or two of wild boar meat for their families to taste meat.
Seeing that everyone was busy, Mengyue pulled the giant snake back home.
The villagers who were chatting and laughing immediately fell silent when they saw what Mengyue was pulling in her hand.
Even those who had seen Meng Yue's fierceness on the mountain were still shocked when they saw her again.
However, Mengyue's move convinced not only the villagers of Xinghua Village, but also the villagers of the other six villages.
At this moment, no one doubted that Mengyue's proposal to divert water from the mountain would fail. Even the other six villages wanted to participate in the water diversion.
What Mengyue didn't know was that this unintentional action of hers provided much convenience for what she was going to do next.
"elder sister!"
Just as Mengyue turned around, a small figure pounced on her with such force that it almost knocked her down.
She looked down and saw Minghao hugging her thighs, sobbing softly while calling her sister.
Mengyue could clearly sense that Minghao was worried about her. She stroked her brother's soft hair and said comfortingly, "Sister, please don't go to school today."
"Sister didn't come back yesterday, and Daddy brought people up the mountain to look for you early in the morning. My two brothers and I were all very worried about her."
"Well, I'll apologize to the teacher tomorrow and explain the reason."
"Okay, sister."
Mingyu and Mingxuan, who were following behind, were also excited to see Mengyue, but not as straightforward as Minghao.
"Sister, let me help you pull the giant snake."
After Mingyu finished speaking, he walked forward with trembling legs. After a while, he finally walked to the front of the giant snake.
I prepared myself mentally before reaching out.
Mengyue saw that Mingyu was obviously very scared, but in order to help his sister, he suppressed his fear and tried to pull the giant snake. A warm feeling passed through her heart.
"Mingyu, if you're afraid, don't touch it. I can pull it."
"Sister, I'm not afraid. I've never seen a giant snake like this before. I'll... pull you over and show you."
Not wanting Mingyu to be so scared that he couldn't sleep at night, Mengyue pulled Mingyu aside.
"Just go back with my sister."
Minghao and Mingyu didn't dare to touch the giant snake, but Mingxuan was braver and dared to attack it directly. However, his strength was too weak. He used all his strength but couldn't make the giant snake move at all.
Seeing Mingxuan's face turned red from holding it in, Mengyue burst out laughing.
"Mingxuan, you can pull it when you grow up. Now just follow your sister home obediently."
Mingxuan originally wanted to show off in front of his sister, but it turned out to be counterproductive and he felt embarrassed.
