While sleeping, Song Zhuiyan noticed several blisters on Song Tantan's arm and frowned, "How did your arm get bitten so badly?"
"These are mosquito bites. I was running around too hot while catching wild boars, so I changed into a sleeveless shirt. Who knew the mosquitoes in the mountains were so vicious?" Song Tantan didn't dare tell her about catching the jackal, afraid that she would worry even more.
"From now on, except when you're indoors, don't wear short sleeves and shorts outside anymore. People will gossip if they see you. When in Rome, do as the Romans do, let's keep a low profile." The clothes in the supermarket were considered strange and unusual in this era, with fabrics and styles that were not something that could be found in this era.
"I know, I'll be careful." Song Tantan nodded like a chick pecking at rice. She was so sleepy that she couldn't keep her eyes open, and she fell asleep instantly after lying on the quilt.
Song Zhuiyan felt sorry for her and didn't say anything more. She covered her with the blanket and lay down next to her to sleep. However, her mind was very clear even with her eyes closed, and she couldn't fall asleep until 3 a.m.
When she woke up again, she was awakened by the noise outside. She sat up and found that Tantan had already gotten up, but was sitting there without going out.
"What's going on?" she asked, referring to why so many people were gathered outside.
“Everyone was watching the wild boar,” Song Tantan paused before honestly confessing, “I also sneaked in ten of our piglets, they probably thought it was unusual.” After saying that, she glanced guiltily at her aunt before quickly looking away.
Ten piglets? That's way too many. A sow can give birth to twenty piglets, including mixed-breed piglets, and these are from a wild boar living deep in the mountains. This is too unbelievable. How is she supposed to explain it?
"Since we're going to get a few anyway, we might as well get a lot. That way, we won't have to rack our brains later about how to get the piglets out. If anyone asks, we'll just say we don't know." What can anyone do to her if she just refuses to admit it?
That's all we can do. Song Zhuiyan didn't show much expression. She put on her coat and went out. Not far to the right of the stone house was Zhong Qingyi's house. To the left were several pigsties that could hold about ten pigs. Any more would have to be put in the pigsties that were built with inferior bricks before, which were a bit further away.
If you're going to raise pigs there, you'll probably have to stay overnight. If you don't keep an eye on them, the pigs might get stolen. But you don't need to worry about that for now. The piglets will take several more months to grow up. Without pig feed, they only eat grass and rice bran, so they don't grow very fast. But pork from pigs raised on grass and rice bran tastes better, has no fishy smell, and is more nutritious.
"Miss Song, you're up! When are you going to deal with these wild boars?" Zhu Xiu spotted Song Zhuiyan and swallowed hard, thinking that the slaughtering of the pigs was about to begin.
"Everyone, you can leave now. I'm not going to kill these wild boars; I'll keep them to raise," Song Zhuiyan announced loudly.
The group fell silent for a moment, initially finding it unbelievable, but soon realized it was quite reasonable. After observing them all morning, they also noticed that there was something wrong with these wild boars.
"It's good to keep them, but it's really strange. Why are these wild boars like the pigs we raise at home? They're not afraid of people and they're not fierce at all. They're very docile." Zhu Xiu asked the question that everyone was wondering about, her eyes full of doubt.
"More than that, look at these piglets, they've changed color, they're all plump and white, these are clearly pigs we just raised ourselves," said a villager from Yuanlinjia Village.
“We’ve never raised piglets this white and plump, not a single color mixed in. Our own piglets are mostly black and white, but these ten white piglets are noticeably fatter than the black-skinned wild boars with their pointed snouts. They’re so cute to look at,” another villager from Linjia Village chimed in.
Song Zhuiyan remained calm and listened until they said that it was almost true before walking over with a curious look. "Really? It was too dark last night and I didn't see clearly. I only knew that Tantan and Axun herded a litter of pigs back. Brother Zhong and I were so surprised at the time, but because we were worried about Tantan and Axun, we didn't pay attention to these wild boars. I didn't even know there were so many."
Zhong Qingyi, who was being mentioned, was sitting in the main room with Ye Moxun, calmly eating breakfast. A-Xun told him not to go to the Song family today, otherwise Miss Song would definitely give him some piglets to raise, but he didn't know how to raise pigs and had nowhere to raise them, so he couldn't accept them.
"Ah Xun, was Miss Song's family butchers before?" Otherwise, no one would have thought of raising pigs. While everyone else was busy building houses, she was busy building pigsties and had been preparing for her pig-raising plan for a long time.
"It's not impossible," Ye Moxun said calmly, sipping his porridge with refined manners.
On the Song family's side, everyone was reluctant to leave immediately, and they all asked Song Zhuiyan how she planned to raise these wild boars, what she thought of the mixed-breed piglets, and whether the wild boars, which seemed docile now, would suddenly become ferocious later, so she should be careful.
"How did Tantan manage to herd a litter of wild boars back, and why didn't the sow even nudge anyone?" Everyone was curious about how Song Tantan did it. Could it be that she possessed some unknown boar-cursing technique?
Everyone had their own thoughts and many questions, but when they looked up at Song Zhuiyan's icy face, no one dared to ask directly.
Song Zhuiyan thought for a moment and said seriously, "Yesterday, this sow was hit by Tantan with a stick, and when she came back, I hit her again. I guess she was stunned by the beating, which is why she is so stupid. Wild boars are fierce and can easily attack people, so everyone should be careful and stay away from my pigsty in the future, otherwise I can't guarantee what might happen."
If we don't put it more seriously, she's afraid that if the villagers see wild boars in the future and think they can easily catch them and raise them, they'll end up being attacked and killed by the wild boars. Who will be held responsible for that?
Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly realized that Song Tantan's fighting prowess was not to be underestimated, and Song Zhuiyan was even more ruthless, killing pigs without blinking an eye. No wonder the wild boar was beaten so badly that its brain was stunned.
"Can this sow still survive?" someone asked.
