Zhu Fanfan could tell from his grandfather's expression that he had ill intentions: "It's not easy to get a butcher's knife these days."
She was just thinking about it; she would never actually do it. Slaughtering pigs is physically demanding and requires skill. Unless her grandfather slaughters pigs, she wouldn't agree to learn it.
Zhu Jiabao wasn't worried. He knew what the little girl liked anyway, and as long as he could pique her interest, he wasn't afraid she wouldn't compromise.
So Zhu Jiabao said, "Let's release the wild boars while it's dark. I'll go and make the arrangements first. You just need to rest. We'll carry it out when it gets dark."
Many times, the plan without a plan is the most foolproof. He only needs to transfer a trustworthy person to the gate and replace the person investigating with his own people. This requires a plan. As long as Fanfan disguises himself, rests up, and hides himself with his divine sense, the rest is up to him.
They could act quickly. The compound was mainly built for military families, so the military couldn't be too far from the family compound, making it convenient for them to move around. Zhu Fanfan chose a high mountain, disguised himself, and appeared as a dwarf with an old face, age spots on his exposed skin, and size 38 feet. He then used his mental power to cover himself up so that no one would notice.
He left out four pigs—two males and two females—from the space, and released the remaining hundred or so pigs. The pigs, seeing the barren fields, were a little unaccustomed to it and started squealing. Zhu Fanfan directly used his mental power to control one of the pigs and sent it to the army.
The wild boars ran in unison, and the dust they kicked up alerted the sentries at the gate. They immediately went on alert, and once they saw the boars clearly, they were excited and immediately sounded the alarm. Before Zhu Fanfan could react, the group of wild boars had been subdued. They were so fast that her eyes were blurry. All she could say was that the People's Liberation Army was awesome.
They quickly returned and removed their disguises. Zhu Jiabao took Zhu Fanfan to watch the excitement. The people had already been arranged, and the traces would be cleaned up. Next, they would slaughter a pig, and he needed to teach Fanfan a thing or two.
As for pig-slaughtering knives and other pig-slaughtering tools, it's hard to say whether he could get them.
Zhu Jiabao was afraid that others would bump into Zhu Fanfan. After all, no matter how powerful she was, she was still a little girl. There were so many people that she couldn't possibly guard against her. So she simply picked her up and carried her inside. The cheerful look of the group of people infected the surroundings. Although the army often ate meat, it wasn't unlimited. Who wouldn't be happy to have meat?
The cost of raising pigs is too high now, mainly due to diseases. Many pigs cannot be raised to adulthood, and it takes a year for a pig to grow to adulthood. Therefore, pork production is insufficient, and it is impossible to eat enough. Each month, we can only afford to eat a little bit.
When Zhu Jiabao came in, a group of people started to greet him. Zhu Jiabao kept a straight face and pretended that he didn't know anything. He thought that the shooting must have caused an accident, which was why he came to ask. Since the leader asked, a group of people started to explain all at once.
Zhu Fanfan remarked that this man had an incredibly strong mentality, and that her grandfather was a prime example of someone who would lie through his teeth.
Zhu Jiabao took Zhu Fanfan to the place where the wild boars were staying. Several of them had been captured alive and were being raised. There were dozens of dead pigs, and they were boiling water to scald their hair. Zhu Jiabao saw the cooks and asked them a few questions, finally figuring out the procedures before slaughtering the pigs.
Zhu Fanfan was speechless, knowing that her grandfather hadn't given up on making her a pig butcher.
There were too many wild boars, so it was impossible for the cooks to do everything. The soldiers usually took care of the easier tasks. Zhu Fanfan watched carefully as the people around her slaughtered the boars. By the time they were all done, it was already midnight. Only then did Zhu Jiabao leave with Zhu Fanfan, satisfied.
When they got home, he asked, "Did you get it?"
Zhu Fanfan shook her head: "No."
Zhu Jiabao said, "I'll buy you tools so you can use them when you want to kill something in the space. I know you're the kind of girl who likes to have backup plans, and you won't send out all the wild boars. No, wild boar meat isn't tasty, domestic pigs are much better. I'll buy you a few piglets. I'll see if there are any other large animals you can raise, and I'll find them for you."
His favorite is roe deer, but there aren't any here. He also likes mutton, but it's hard to get. He also likes beef. If only someone sold fawns, that would be great, as venison is delicious too.
Actually, he wanted to eat bear paws and tiger meat more. After eating the tiger meat, there would be bones for his wife to soak in wine. Unfortunately, even if they had them, he couldn't raise a tiger. It was too dangerous. If he dared to let Fanfan raise one, his wife would dare to kill him.
Zhu Fanfan emphasized, "I will not slaughter pigs."
Zhu Jiabao waved his hand: "I know, I know. Once I find the little pig, you can come with me to get it. It'll save me the trouble of tying it up all the way. Also, ask if we can get any lambs or cows."
Zhu Fanfan reiterated: "I said I will not kill pigs, nor will I kill cattle or sheep."
Zhu Jiabao still ignored him: "I know you're being modest. You don't need to be modest in front of Grandpa. Grandpa trusts you."
Zhu Fanfan repeated, "I don't know how to kill pigs."
Zhu Jiabao still wouldn't listen: "I know, I know, you're getting addicted to being modest. In our family, modesty is not a virtue."
Zhu Fanfan: ...Grandpa is determined to make her a butcher, isn't he? Be careful, she might not even give him a single piece of meat after she kills a pig.
Liu Yumin came out at this moment: "What time is it? Why aren't you asleep? You have nothing to do tomorrow, right?"
The father and son stopped their commotion and went to rest.
The next day, Zhu Fanfan waited for Elder Dan at home. Liu Yumin still had to go back to the hospital to explain to her master, since the elder's condition was quite serious. She should let him have his way first. She knew Fanfan; he wouldn't go to the Dragon Group. The successor wouldn't run away, so she could rest assured.
When Elder Dan arrived, the sun had already risen, and he had filled the entire car. Zhu Fanfan looked at all of this and couldn't help but ask, "Elder Dan, are you moving?"
Elder Dan replied, "No! These are all your study materials. My things from home are still at the back. These are more important, so I brought them back first. The rest will be loaded onto a truck. I see your house is quite big. I spoke with your grandfather yesterday, and he agreed to let me stay here. I'm moving today. You can study on your own first. I'm going to tidy up my room."
Since he was going to live here for a year, he naturally wanted to make the environment to his liking; he would never compromise himself.
Zhu Fanfan watched as Elder Dan instructed the driver to completely change the decorations in the house. The simple guest room was transformed into a Taoist temple, with portraits hanging on the walls and even a large incense burner. Elder Dan added some incense and lit it, filling the room with smoke.
A large truck arrived shortly afterward, and a group of soldiers, clearly military personnel, began unloading the truck in an orderly manner, tidying it up neatly afterward.
In no time, the house was tidied up, just as it had been when they arrived, leaving quietly without taking a single cloud with them.
