Chapter 113: The Pig Farmer's Rise to Wealth (Part 2) [Seeking Monthly Tickets]
With a general plan in place, all that's left is to put it into practice—how can we obtain a group of lively, immune-boosting piglets?
The only words left in Shen Tang's mind were "more exercise".
Uncastrated piglets are generally not very friendly. They fight and bite each other for food, territory, and even who is the leader. They butt and kick each other. Although they are a group of piglets, they are not weak fighters and have even learned to fight in groups without being taught.
They don't yet understand the meaning of stopping short of a point.
Fights inevitably lead to injuries, and injuries inevitably lead to infected wounds. Once infected, how far away is illness or even death from disease?
To ensure he gets enough exercise and avoid getting into fights, Shen Tang came up with a solution—to imitate cat and dog owners and walk his pig!
Taking the piglets for a couple of runs around the mountain every day not only expends excess energy and exercises their bodies, but also helps them become familiar with their surroundings and prepare them psychologically for castration.
Upon hearing this "brilliant" plan, Chu Yao was speechless.
He had doubts.
Shen Tang smiled and said earnestly, "Wu Hui, please ask away."
Chu Yao then asked, "What if the pig runs away?"
These are pigs, not some raccoon dog kept by that scoundrel Qi Bushan. They won't wander outside all day and then run back home. If a bunch of piglets were to scatter and run wild all over the mountains and fields, who knows how many would eventually be found? At worst, they might even become extra food for starving wild animals.
Shen Tang said, "Put leashes on them."
Dogs and cats need to be leashed when taken out for a walk, so why shouldn't piglets be? Are they unworthy? No, they deserve it too.
A rope?
You can understand what it is just by looking at the literal meaning.
Chu Yao said, "It's worth a try."
So the next day, there was the scene of Shen Tang leading more than twenty piglets for a "walk," and Lin Feng was also pulled along to relax. Although he was in mourning, he couldn't neglect his health and keep his worries bottled up inside all day, and his little face had become noticeably thinner.
A minor incident occurred along the way—
The piglet's grunting attracted a real black-faced man!
It has a dark face, short mane, and thick, rough skin.
It has a thick nose, a long mouth, and a pair of large, fleshy ears.
You can tell at a glance that this person is skilled at cultivating crops.
It was hiding in the bushes not far away, its face full of ferocity, staring at Shen Tang and the other two, as well as more than twenty piglets. Lin Feng had caught a glimpse of it by chance. The pig lowered its center of gravity, pushed off the ground with its hooves, and charged forward, its fat body swaying.
In that instant, Lin Feng could even clearly feel the ground trembling as the wild boar ran wildly, as if what was rushing towards her was not a fat and terrifying black boar, but a small black hill.
Before Lin Feng could even turn pale, his husband raised his hand and a beautiful, gleaming longsword appeared out of thin air. He shouted, "You beast, you're asking for death!"
It rushed towards the oncoming wild boar like a gust of wind.
The man and the pig fought a fierce battle for dozens of rounds.
Unsure of his concerns, the young man hesitated for a moment, then abandoned his sword and launched a sliding tackle kick at the wild boar's raised hoof. Startled, Lin Feng, who was hiding in the bushes, screamed and covered her eyes with her hands. She knew her husband could defeat a wild boar, but despite her belief, the eleven or twelve-year-old boy was still too thin and hadn't grown tall enough; compared to the wild boar, he was just a piece of paper.
The visual impact of their confrontation made Lin Feng unable to look directly at them. With her eyes closed, she felt something crash heavily to the ground. Lin Feng opened her eyes a crack and saw her husband straddle the back of the black pig that had fallen to the ground and couldn't get up, and swing his arm to slap the pig's head twice.
Use the extra rope as a rein to tie the wild boar's neck.
The wild boar was filled with rage and let out a furious roar.
It kicked up its heels, leaped, ran, and howled wildly.
It made a series of big movements in an attempt to throw the weak human sitting on its back off, and then trample him into a pulp with its four limbs and hooves!
And what was the result?
The result was, naturally, failure.
Shen Tang remained as steady as a mountain, gripping the waist rope firmly, her center of gravity always stable. Seeing her husband handling things with ease, Lin Feng also relaxed and began to let her mind wander. Inappropriately, she recalled a nap one afternoon when she woke up early and vaguely heard the old women serving in the courtyard whispering a story about a strong man who chopped down a wild boar with his bare hands, making the boar kneel down and beg for mercy.
When have any maids in the inner quarters ever heard such bizarre stories?
She blushed and was curious.
Lin Feng didn't understand. What was so curious about that?
How could a wild boar "kneel down and beg for mercy"?
Years later, he stumbled upon an old booklet and discovered that the wild boar subdued by the strong man with his bare hands was a male, sentient monster.
Seeing that the strong man wouldn't let her go, she transformed into a woman. The strong man was very pleased, and the two of them, singing sweet nothings, went home together as husband and wife.
By the time Lin Feng regained his senses, the wild boar had completely lost its temper, lying exhausted on the ground panting. The young man smugly stomped on its head: "Get up, weren't you so arrogant?"
Lin Feng: "..."
She felt that her husband was even more arrogant.
It vaguely matches the "strong man" the old woman mentioned that afternoon.
The wild boar, kicked in pain, groaned twice. Gone was its previous arrogance and ferocity; instead, it showed a hint of pleading and became quite docile.
Shen Tang, however, is not a soft-hearted person.
If she hadn't been able to fight the wild boar bare-handed, let alone the twenty-odd piglets, she and Lin Feng would have been bitten to death and eaten by this boar. In the end, she gave the wild boar a chance to redeem itself, using it as a mount to make walking the boar much easier.
Wild boars are not so easy to tame.
But Shen Tang wasn't that soft-hearted.
If they don't obey, beat them; even the fiercest wild boar will eventually be worn down and terrified.
As an animal with extremely high intelligence, driven by its survival instinct, it seems to understand the meaning of "discretion is the better part of valor"—those twenty-odd cubs cannot be eaten, those short humans cannot be provoked, and the ferocious demon on its back cannot be disobeyed!
"Giddy up! Giddy up! Giddy up!"
The sound of Shen Tang's laughter echoed through the mountains and fields.
Worried that destiny might slip away, Chu Yao, who was secretly observing, was speechless.
Gong Shuwu, worried that Mr. Chu Yao might encounter wolves: "..."
They didn't approach, but stood far away, only able to see Shen Tang and Lin Feng reduced to two dots, and remained silent for a long time.
Gong Shuwu hesitated: "How about we buy Wulang a colt?"
Although Shen Lang had a motorcycle, a motorcycle was still just a mule.
There is reason to suspect that Shen Tang's happiness in riding the pig and his constant use of "ji" is a sign of his resentment towards the rule that "Wenxin has no horses".
Perhaps raising a foal could alleviate Shen Lang's madness?
Chu Yao: "..."
He felt there was no connection between the two.
It's just that Goro loves to play, but he plays a little too wildly.
Thus, Qi Shan witnessed the scene of her young master Shen riding a wild boar, followed by a group of piglets, with Lin Feng struggling to keep up with him on his short legs.
What a wonderful story...
What a load of rubbish!
Qi Shan looked at Shen Xiaolangjun, who was dressed as a savage and had a rope around his neck still around the wild boar's neck, and felt dizzy.
Immediately following, a roar echoed through the mountains and sea of clouds.
"Chu! Wu! Hui!"
_(:з」∠)_
I originally wanted to include a sexual scene in the part about the old woman in Lin Feng's courtyard, but alas, I'm afraid of getting banned. Recently, I received over a dozen notifications from the back office about blocked chapters of older books; I plan to revise them all at once once the review process is complete.
PS: As expected, the number one spot on the new book monthly ticket chart is gone today, and the 27-day winning streak has ended. I've even been pushed down to third place. I'm trying my best to get monthly tickets here, hoping for a good start to the new book. If I can't beat first place, second place would be fine too! ┭┮﹏┭┮
P.S.: There will be double monthly tickets on the 27th, 28th, and 29th. If you participate in the crowdfunding campaign, there will be quadruple monthly tickets from 8 PM to midnight. That means a 1500 Qidian Coin reward will get you four monthly tickets (I'm not asking for more rewards, just a guaranteed minimum subscription monthly ticket is fine, any reward is a token of my appreciation).
PPPS: First update.
