Rebirth, end of the world, time travel, escape famine, make money!

The next morning, everyone had breakfast and started to do their own things.

Qi Xin started to prepare the equipment for castrating the pig. Since there was no special scalpel, she found a small knife and sharpened it on a whetstone until it was very sharp. It could definitely solve the problem with one cut.

He lit another kerosene lamp and used an iron pot to distill the high-proof liquor to get the substitute alcohol. About five or six kilograms of liquor was distilled into a small bottle.

Originally, they had some space and some alcohol and the like, but there was no way around it and they would inevitably bump into things along the way, and after getting injured, they had used up most of their energy.

Also prepare scissors and needle and thread. If the wound is too big, just sew it with two stitches using ordinary needle and thread. Then remove the stitches after the wound heals.

After everything was ready, Qi Xin called Liu Hao and the other two, "Come and help fix the piglet's limbs. Don't let it move."

The two little pigs were jumping around in the first pigpen. Because this pigpen was for the two little pigs, some stones were laid on one side of the ground, and straw was spread on the stones. It was a bit cold that day.

If the weather is too cold, piglets will not only fail to grow but will also be prone to illness. Therefore, pig farmers usually catch piglets in February or March in the spring and kill them around December at the end of the year.

The piglets that had just been fed in the morning were not afraid when they saw two strong men coming in. They lay on the straw in the pigpen. It was not until Liu Hao and Qu Dingliang walked in front of a piglet to catch it that the other one screamed and ran away. Of course, the one that was caught kept screaming.

No matter how it screamed and struggled, it could not escape the pressure of two adult men.

"Lift up the upper leg and hold the lower leg tightly. Don't let go."

Liu Hao grabbed the two legs of the piglet at the back and spread them apart with a little force. Qu Dingliang in front also pressed the two pig legs in front of him with force, and used one hand to control the pig's body to prevent it from moving. But Qu Dingliang's eyes were staring at the space between the two legs that Liu Hao had spread apart.

There was no way, they had never seen a pig castration, so they were all very curious. Not only the two of them, but Qi Xin was also a little nervous. She had performed countless Caesarean sections, but this was her first time to castrate a pig.

It really cost her her life.

Qi Xin placed the knife on the kerosene lamp to heat it up, and with her other hand, she took out a cotton cloth soaked in alcohol and wiped the pig's testicles several times to disinfect them. With her other hand holding the knife, she cut off one testicle quickly and accurately, and after two cuts, the piglet's two testicles lay quietly on the straw on the side.

The piglet screamed even louder, and the other piglet was so scared that it hid in the corner and trembled.

The blood soaked the pig's buttocks, so Qi Xin took out the cotton cloth and wiped it clean. She took out the needle and thread and sewed four stitches. She used scissors to cut off the excess thread and tied a knot to complete it.

Qi Xin was worried, so she took out the bottle of alcohol, poured some on the cotton cloth, and covered the wound with the cotton cloth, which made the piglet scream even louder.

"Okay, carry it inside, and drag the other one over to hold it down." Qi Xin took down the cotton cloth and wiped the surgical knife and needle, then put it aside and took out a new piece of cotton cloth and soaked it with alcohol. While the two of them were dragging the other piglet, they put the knife on the kerosene lamp and repeatedly heated it.

Liu Hao felt that this little piglet was much stronger, and Qu Dingliang had the same feeling. It might be because the little piglet in front of him was screaming too loudly. At this time, the piglet lying on the straw was still humming and groaning, and its motionless appearance was indeed a bit scary.

With the experience from the first time, the second time went more smoothly and was done in one go. Qi Xin's hands were also more skillful, and the whole process was estimated to have been completed in two minutes.

After the three of them cleaned up the pigsty, Liu Hao wrapped the pig's testicles with a piece of rotten leaves and asked, "Auntie, what should we do with this?"

"Hahaha……"

"What do you want to do? Throw it in the toilet. Or find a pit to bury it."

Liu Hao took the things and went to the pit behind the pig pen, threw them in, and used the manure scoop on the side to push them down. The pit behind was very large, with a lot of rotten leaves and household and kitchen garbage in it, and it was usually covered with wooden boards for composting.

Qi Xin observed the two piglets for a while, only to see them lying there motionless. There was nothing she could do, so Qu Dingliang asked worriedly, "Auntie, are they okay?"

Qi Xin didn't know what to do. After thinking about it carefully, she said, "Xiao Qu, add some straw to them to keep them warm. Then observe them again when you feed them at noon. But I heard from your uncle Renyi before that it was like this on the first day, but it was fine on the second day. Observe for another day. As long as the pigs don't have a fever, there will be no problem. I think it should be similar to humans."

"Okay, the Chinese medicine that Brother Hao brought back is already being boiled. We can feed it to them along with the pig food at noon. I hope they'll feel better after eating it."

"It's okay. I'll come back to check on them more today. If they can't survive, I'll kill them and eat the suckling pig."

When Liu Hao came over, he heard people eating suckling pork, so he hurried over to ask, "Auntie, is the piglet dead?"

"You just died, you only half listened to me. I'm leaving."

Qi Xin came to watch when she was feeding the piglets at noon. After seeing the pig food poured into the trough, the two little piglets stood up tremblingly. After they finished eating all the food in the trough, they went back to lie down.

Qi Xin was relieved. As long as they could eat and sleep, there should be no problem. She didn't care about the deafening screams of the two piglets when they saw Qi Xin. They were still two vengeful piglets.

During lunch, Father Liu came over to ask about the two piglets. He was relieved to hear that there was no problem. He also reminded the family that if outsiders asked why the piglets were squealing so loudly today, they should remember to give a unified answer and say that it was for the good growth of the pigs and the pigpen should be cleaned, as the piglets would squeal louder if there were people inside.

At night, Qi Xin also came to see and was met with the same Zhu Hao... She was completely relieved.

Her surgical skills are really amazing. In this dynasty, she should be able to live well with this skill.

After dinner, Qi Xin took the initiative to talk about the two piglets' condition. "When they were eating pig food at night, the two piglets were obviously in much better condition than at noon. If there are no problems tomorrow morning, then there will be no problem. I have experience with the piglets I bought later."

"I have also asked the pig dealers in the nearby villages before. The piglets are still too small and should be raised next to the sows. The suckling piglets grow faster and can be sold for a good price. I have asked several dealers to make reservations and ask them to notify me directly when they are ready to be sold."

"That's fine. Anyway, there's not much grass for the pigs now. It's a problem what to feed them every day after we bring them back."
