Pig Killer

On the way home, "I saw pheasant footprints." Huang Yuanji said while sucking his saliva.

"I want to eat chicken." Huang Bochang tilted his head and looked at his son and said.

"I want to, but unfortunately I can't catch them." Huang Yuanji said honestly, "The chickens we raise are still waiting to lay eggs! My grandmother won't let us eat them."

"Isn't this quite clear?" Huang Bochang looked at him with amusement.

"I do understand! It's okay to say it verbally!" Huang Yuanji said dejectedly with his head down.

There is no way around it. Shen Hui'e can catch pheasants, but the natives don't have that ability.

"Uncle, I saw the footprints of vole." Huang Que'er looked at Huang Bochang with his black eyes and said.

"No, no, this field mouse can't be eaten." Upon hearing this, Shen Hui'e immediately looked at Huang Que'er, the eldest daughter of Huang Jichang's family and said.

"Why? Second aunt." Huang Que'er looked at her and asked, not quite understanding.

Shen Hui'e thought about it after hearing this, and then looked at Huang Que'er and the others with her deep black eyes and said, "Voles are too dirty. Eating them will easily make you sick, and the disease is incurable."

"Who wants to eat rats?" Huang Zhaoye shuddered and said with disgust.

"Even with so many prey, they don't eat field mice. They are bad guys who steal our food." Huang Yuanji said angrily.

"Speaking of field mice stealing food, you can dig out the mouse holes and you will get something!" Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with her deep and penetrating eyes.

"Eh!" Huang Shuchang pouted and said with disgust, "No, no, can you eat the food in the rat hole?"

"If people don't eat it, they can feed it to chickens!" Shen Hui'e said to them with her bright eyes.

"That's possible!" Huang Bochang's eyes lit up when he heard that.

"Dad, let's dig out the rat holes and use the food we find to feed the chickens." Huang Yuanji looked at him and said, rubbing his hands eagerly.

"Okay! I'm free anyway." Huang Bochang said happily.

The two brothers Huang Bochang and Huang Shuchang sent Shen Hui'e and the others to the door of their home and put down the backpack. "Sister-in-law, peel off the rabbit skin for me and I will prepare it for you. It won't have a strong fishy smell and won't be bitten by insects. It will be easier to store."

"Then I'll trouble his uncle." Shen Hui'e looked at him gratefully and said.

"It's just a matter of convenience. It's not a big deal." Huang Bochang waved his hand gently and said, "Go in quickly! It's cold outside. Let's go back." He looked at Huang Shuchang and said, "Let's go."

Shen Hui'e and her two children watched the two brothers leave until they disappeared from their sight, then turned around and called the children back home.

"Mother, mother, how are we going to eat those rabbits?" asked the raccoon, looking at her with shining eyes.

Shen Hui'e thought of more than ten ways to eat rabbit, but unfortunately she could only say, "stew it." Then she said, "Let's start peeling the rabbit first."

Shen Hui'e hung the rabbit under the prickly ash tree in the yard, slaughtered the rabbit with a large knife, and peeled off the rabbit's skin completely without damaging the fur.

The big tiger looked at A Niang, whose knife was sharp and wieldy, and said, "Wow...wow...so powerful."

"Mother, are we going to peel them all?" asked the cat slave, looking at the rabbits neatly placed in the sack.

"I've peeled them all." Shen Hui'e said quickly, her hands not slowing down at all. "It's cold now, so even if you leave them outside and they freeze, they won't go bad." Suddenly she stopped, looked back at the brother and sister and said, "Will there be mice if you leave them outside?"

"No, no, there are no mice in our house." Hearing this, the big insect looked at her with a smile in his black eyes.

"How can there be no mice?" Shen Hui'e looked at him in surprise and said, "There are quite a lot of field mice."

"We have Huang Er at home. It catches mice, and the mice it catches dare not come to our house." The big insect turned its head and looked around for Huang Er.

"It's no good for a dog to meddle in other people's business." Shen Hui'e looked at him with her bright dark eyes.

As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Er came running over with the mouse in his mouth. He put the dead mouse in front of them, raised his furry head proudly, as if waiting for praise.

"You stinky fellow, I've had enough today." Shen Hui'e looked at Huang Er gently and said, "Bury the rats. It's disgusting to watch."

"I'll do it, I'll do it." said the big tiger actively.

"With Huang Er here, we don't need to keep a cat at home." Shen Hui'e said to Li Nu with clear eyes.

"Yes! Huang Er is very capable and very well behaved." Li Nu waved at Huang Er and said, "Come here."

Upon hearing this, Huang Er ran to Li Nu and sat beside her obediently.

"Brother!" Huang Shuchang said as he walked.

"What do you want me to do?" Huang Bochang tilted his head slightly and looked at his third brother beside him.

"Why do I feel that my second sister-in-law has changed?" Huang Shuchang said, looking at him with his dark eyes.

"What has changed? Nothing!" Huang Bochang blinked his black eyes and looked at him and said, "You are much more polite. You were not so polite before."

"How should I put it? My second sister-in-law used to be a lady from a wealthy family, while we are just making a living from the dirt." Huang Shuchang told the truth.

"But they don't look down on us!" Huang Bochang said, looking at him with his dark eyes.

"But they are not too close!" Huang Shuchang muttered softly.

"What you said, how can the sister-in-law and the eldest and younger brothers-in-law be close?" Huang Bochang looked at him unhappily and said, "Do you understand avoiding suspicion?" Then he said, "When the second brother was around, he could handle our family affairs. Why would a woman come forward? I don't talk to my sister-in-law for more than a slap." He smiled and said, "You have said a few words to your second sister-in-law."

Huang Shuchang thought about it seriously and said, "Really not."

"That's it." Huang Bochang said with a smile.

"I always feel it's different?" Huang Shuchang tilted his head and thought for a while and said.

"I can only say that we've been seeing each other more often, which has broken your original imagination!" Huang Bochang chuckled and said, "What did you think of your second sister-in-law before?"

"Those high and mighty people disdain to associate with us." Huang Shuchang said without thinking, "All the high officials in the county are like this."

"The Shen family is not like that. No one in the county has ever said that. They all say they are a kind family." Huang Bochang looked at him with a smile on his face and said, "My sister-in-law married into our family and lived a down-to-earth life with our second son. She took care of the housework and had children. After the second son left, she also went to the fields to farm. She is not spoiled at all." He chuckled and shook his head, "Now we have to kill pigs!"

"Brother, do you think my second sister-in-law is okay?" Huang Shuchang asked with a smile.

"I don't know." Huang Bochang shook his head gently, "But today, he twisted the rabbit's neck with a decisive move, which was quick and neat." The dark eyes looked at him and said, "At least the move was really ruthless! The butcher has to be ruthless. If the pig resists, even a man with brute force can't withstand it."

"Second sister-in-law is a real person who never reveals her true identity!" Huang Shuchang stretched out his hand and gestured, "I don't have such a neat trick."
