Pig Killer

"Aunt, is this true? Or is it false?" The children looked at her in disbelief.

"Really." Shen Hui'e looked at her with her shiny black eyes and said, "Rabbits are easy to raise. They eat grass!"

"Rabbits are not easy to raise either. They have strong mouths and can bite through even the strongest rabbit cage." Huang Bochang said immediately after hearing this. "Rabbits don't just eat grass. Eating grass can easily cause diarrhea."

Rabbits' big teeth are very sharp, and wooden cages are really not enough to hold them.

"It's not appropriate to feed rabbits. The fields are full of rabbits, but they are hard to catch." Huang Jichang said with a grin, "What's the point of feeding them?"

"I haven't seen Fourth Uncle catch many rabbits." The big tiger looked at him with his big blinking eyes.

"That thing runs very fast and it's too difficult to catch it." Huang Jichang told the truth.

"It's really hard to catch them even if you try your best." Huang Bochang said, "And rabbit meat is not filling." Then he said, "The same goes for fish. I don't feel full after eating it."

Low in calories! Shen Hui'e complained in her heart that heavy physical work requires high-fat, high-calorie meat.

Rabbit and fish are obviously not good. The more you eat, the hungrier you get. Moreover, rabbits and fish are not easy to catch. You can only catch a few in a day, and you will be exhausted. It is better to farm. You will reap what you sow.

"Then come with me to catch rabbits." Shen Hui'e said to them with eyes as deep and dark as black jade.

"We are mainly here for rabbit skins." Huang Bochang pointed to his rabbit skin coat and said, "We have to prepare for this winter."

"It's not spring plowing time yet, so we're just sitting around doing nothing." Huang Jichang said with a grin.

"At least it's rabbit meat, and it can save some food for the family." Huang Shuchang said with a smile.

All right! What else can Shen Hui'e say at this point?

There is farm manure and river mud that can be dug, but there don't seem to be many boats, so this is ruled out again.

You can burn dead leaves and rotten branches into ashes and use them as fertilizer, but you cannot set them on fire, as this is too dangerous.

Every household lives in a thatched house. If the wind blows and a fire burns down the entire house, everything will be ruined.

Shen Hui'e's deep and penetrating eyes flashed. She raised the rabbit first. When Li'er saw it, someone would follow and learn.

Who will believe you if you just talk nonsense?

"The rabbit meat has a strong fishy smell, and the fish meat also has a strong earthy smell." Huang Jichang said with a smacking mouth, not very happy.

"I say, Xiao Si'er, it's good enough to have something to eat. Why are you so picky? I think you are not too hungry." Huang Bochang scolded him unhappily.

"No! The fish balls my mother made yesterday were very delicious." Da Chong looked at them with pure eyes and said.

"Fish balls?" Huang Jichang said in surprise.

"It has no thorns yet." The big tiger said while gesturing.

"Is it so troublesome?" Huang Jichang said in embarrassment.

"It's not a big deal. Just chop the fish into meat paste like meat sauce." The raccoon looked at him with his big eyes like black grapes.

After being reminded by Huang Jichang, Shen Hui'e remembered that without too much cooking oil and complete seasonings, the taste of the rabbit meat would be greatly reduced.

Alas... I can't even enjoy my meal.

It seems that we need to kill a pig and get lard for the food to be delicious.

Shen Hui'e looked at the forest in front of her and said, "Let's catch the rabbit first!"

"You can't go inside, you can only move around in the fringe areas." Huang Bochang instructed his nephews.

"I know, I know. My father always says it. My ears are callused from it." Huang Yuanji said carelessly.

"There are wolves, tigers and leopards in this dense forest. If you encounter them, you will die." Huang Bochang looked at them with a stern face and said, "Don't be so frivolous."

"I've never seen my father this big." Huang Zhaoye muttered softly.

"It's over once you see her." Huang Bochang looked at his daughter unhappily and said, "You really want to see her!"

"Second Aunt, Second Aunt, how do we find this rabbit?" Huang Yuanji asked cleverly, so that his father wouldn't ask too many questions.

"The snow hasn't melted yet. Look for rabbit droppings or footprints." The big tiger looked at them with bright eyes and said.

"I see." Huang Bochang nodded in understanding. "Let's split up and look for the rabbit's footprints."

With strength in numbers, we quickly found the rabbit's feces.

There are many footprints on the snow. In addition to human footprints, there are also pheasants, various birds, rabbits, voles, and weasels. This forest is really lively.

Fortunately, they were all footprints of small animals, and no footprints of large wild beasts were found.

Once we found the rabbit's feces, it became much easier to find the rabbits. We quickly found the rabbit nests and put smoke into each hole.

Shen Hui'e and the others stood in pairs with the openings of the sacks facing the cave entrance, and soon they heard rustling sounds in the cave.

Then the rabbit dived into the sack.

In this way, he dug up three more rabbit nests, catching rabbits in each nest, and actually caught more than fifty rabbits.

These rabbits struggled hard in the sack, and I was afraid that they would bite the sack and escape, thus all my efforts would be in vain.

Shen Hui'e tied her pockets tightly, then reached out and twisted their necks with a snap.

What matters is speed, ruthlessness and accuracy!

Shen Hui'e watched the Huang family members throwing stones at the sacks and immediately stopped them, saying, "Let me do it. If you make a bloody mess like this, it will easily attract other wild animals. It will be too dangerous if it attracts wolves, tigers and leopards."

"How do you want to do it?" Huang Bochang put down the pebble in his hand. "In the past, when making traps to catch rabbits, they were basically strangled with hemp ropes."

"Break their necks." Shen Hui'e walked to the sack and broke the rabbits' necks very neatly and blindly.

The technique was so skillful that the Huang family stared at their younger brother's wife and second sister-in-law in amazement.

"It's always like this when you kill a chicken at home." Shen Hui'e said awkwardly but politely.

What else can we do? Let them just bash the rabbit to death with rocks! That's too cruel.

"Let's go back! Aren't you hungry?" Shen Hui'e said to them calmly.

"Let's go!" Huang Bochang put the sack into the backpack and then put it on his back. "It's not light, my sister-in-law, please don't carry it."

"But you already have one on your back." Shen Hui'e said with her dark pupils as she looked at the backpack behind him.

"The third brother and I will carry it." Huang Bochang looked at Huang Shuchang with his dark eyes and said.

"Hey!" Huang Shuchang put on the backpack and followed his elder brother, who was holding the backpack by a strap.

"Is it okay? Walking like this will tie up my hands and I can't bear it." Shen Hui'e looked at their rough hands worriedly.

"Don't worry, we'll carry it for a while. We still have these kids here!" Huang Bochang said as he raised the backpack in his hand.

"Okay then! If you can't hold on any longer, tell me and I'll carry you." Shen Hui'e patted her shoulder.

"Let's go!" Huang Bochang gave an order and they started to go home.
