The Beginning of Siheyuan: The Pig Killer of Qinjia Village

the next day.

There is no need to go to market today, but Chang Wei still gets up at around four in the morning. He has become accustomed to going to bed early and getting up early.

I cooked millet porridge and added pancakes. Fortunately, I poured vegetable soup on it to make it taste good. Otherwise, I wouldn't even have pickles. How could I eat it with rice? This problem needs to be solved.

After dinner, I would carry a wooden bucket to my private plot to water the vegetables. It was hot so I had to water them frequently, at least twice a day, until they grew a little bigger.

Come back and clean the cowshed and feed some hay.

It was probably around six o'clock! I didn't have a watch, so I just looked at the sky.

He put a dagger on his waist, a hunting fork on his shoulder, and a backpack on his back. He put a bundle of coarse hemp ropes and a sickle in the backpack, closed the gate, and went into the mountains.

Hunting forks and backpacks were all new tools, so it was not good to borrow them from others all the time. Besides, the borrowed tools, such as hunting forks and backpacks, did not match my body and were awkward to use.

I brought a backpack today just to pick up some wild vegetables and mushrooms. I was thinking of drying some vegetables and mushrooms, and pickling some pickles. I have seen a lot of wild vegetables in the mountains before, such as dandelions, bracken, cat's claw, purslane, wormwood sprouts, mountain onions, mountain celery, etc.

Before I traveled through time, I lived in the north, where there were forests next to my village. I was familiar with most of these wild vegetables, and knew how to prepare and eat them.

"Awei, we're going up the mountain again today!"

The person who greeted him was an old man in the village, in his sixties, whom Qin Zhengshan called Uncle Seven.

"Yes! Grandpa Qi, you get up so early!"

Chang Wei responded with a smile.

"I couldn't sleep. I don't sleep as I get older. I came out for a walk and watered the vegetable patch."

Water the vegetable garden in the morning and evening, avoiding the hot midday hours.

Later, when I met people from the village, I would say hello to those I knew and just nod and smile at those I didn’t.

Everyone in the village gets up early and few people sleep in, except for a few lazy ones.

Chang Wei was ready to head straight to his destination. Today's target was two wild boars. He would first kill them and put them in his personal space. Then he would dig some wild vegetables, pick some mushrooms, and chop two bundles of firewood. The village kitchen didn't have much firewood left.

There was no need to stop at the back hill, which was near the village and was visited by the village aunties and young wives every day. There were already some aunties, young wives and girls who were early in the morning carrying baskets to dig wild vegetables, and Qin Huairu and her daughter were among them, not far away.

Looking up and seeing Chang Wei, Qin Huairu shouted and ran over with her legs thumping, carrying a backpack on her back.

"Awei, you're going into the mountains to hunt today!"

Chang Wei paused for a moment and nodded.

"Yeah! You and Auntie are digging wild vegetables!"

Qin Huairu blinked her big eyes at him with an expectant look and said in a delicate voice.

"Awei, I want to go too, just take me with you!"

Chang Wei shook his head and rejected her mercilessly. "It's too far, you can't keep up, let's go."

With that he stalked off, complaining using his telepathy.

〈Little girl, please stop making trouble. With your short legs, you can't keep up with my speed even if you run to death. You are a complete burden, more likely to cause trouble than help.〉

Watching Chang Wei's back as he left, Qin Huairu pouted and stamped her feet fiercely. If you don't want to take him, then don't take him! You have short legs, and you are always causing trouble instead of helping others. Am I that unbearable?

She glared at Chang Wei's back again, then returned to her mother Meng Xiaoyun in a sullen manner, and started digging wild vegetables with a small sickle and using a variety of sword techniques.

Meng Xiaoyun looked at Qin Huairu with a smile. "What's the matter? Ah Wei made our daughter angry again!"

Qin Huairu pouted, looking unhappy. "I want to go too, but I've never been to the deep mountains before! He won't take me."

Meng Xiaoyun did not hesitate to strike back at him. "Awei has to climb over the hills to hunt in the mountains. You will be a burden to others if you go there! I won't take you with me even if you ask me to."

Qin Huairu stared with her almond-shaped eyes, looking aggrieved.

"Mom, are you still my real mom? Why do you always speak for him?"

……

On Chang Wei's side, not long after he climbed over the back hill, he found a wild rabbit about ten meters away. The gray rabbit was eating grass in the grass. It was quite big, weighing about three or four kilograms.

Chang Wei picked up a small stone, gave it a critical hit, then happily ran over to pick it up and threw it into the backpack.

Good, spicy rabbit cubes delivered to your door.

After walking for just over ten minutes, he heard the giggling sound again. Chang Wei lowered his footsteps and moved closer to the sound.

After walking a few steps, I saw the target. Wow! There was a pheasant nest in the grass, and a pheasant was in the nest, looking like it was nesting.

Chang Wei decided to spare its life. If it had brood, he would catch it and throw it to the space farm. It was quite easy to raise a pheasant.

He gently put down the hunting fork, lowered his waist, bent his legs and kicked his feet, and he was like an arrow from a bow. The pheasant didn't even have time to react, and Chang Wei grabbed it and fluttered its wings. He took a look at the pheasant nest and saw five pheasant eggs. He took the nest and put it into the space farm.

Later on, they encountered many wild rabbits and pheasants, and this time Chang Wei took them all.

Whether it's a pheasant or a rabbit, it's actually easier to kill it than to catch it alive.

In order to find a husband for the female pheasant, Chang Wei let three run away before catching one alive. The main reason was that this thing could fly, and he was too lazy to chase it when it flew down the mountain.

The happiest thing was that when he was taking a break to smoke a cigarette, a silly roe deer weighing thirty or forty kilograms was delivered to his door. This silly guy actually took the initiative to get in front of Chang Wei, jumping and jumping, and no one knew what he was thinking.

He acted instantly and pinched its mouth. After it regretted and struggled for two seconds, the space farm had a new resident.

Unfortunately, after walking around for an hour, I still couldn't find a husband for this silly roe deer. I don't know which mountain this stupid roe deer came from. It seems that it is only fit to be used as food.

Still at the same spot in the mountain stream, Chang Wei chose the one with the few piglets among the three litters of wild boars. There were six big wild boars and only eight piglets. They were all sows, no doubt, because adult male wild boars would only join the group during the mating season.

It is too much of a luxury to have so many wet nurses who don’t give birth. We must get rid of them. Otherwise, the other two litters of wild boars will feel unbalanced and their physical and mental growth will be affected.

The main thing is to consider the kidneys of the wild boar. By the estrus season in autumn, the half-grown wild boars are almost grown up. There are so many sows in your herd, and you are afraid that the wild boar will be too tired.

It is said that rabbits do not eat grass near their nests, and the same is true for wild boars, but the three wild boars in this mountain stream do not think so. Chang Wei guessed that they might feel that pigs with high skills are bold! Or there is no threat, so they are all looking for food in the mountain stream at their doorstep.

Last time, I found that these three wild boars were not sure whether it was because they had enough food or for some other reason. Normally, wild boars rest and bask in the sun during the day and look for food at night. Now they look for food during the day, and those who are full just lie down where they are. How comfortable.

Chang Wei was a little envious of what he saw. What an advanced idea! Did those people who lay down in later generations learn this from you?

My uncle can tolerate it, my aunt can tolerate it, but Chang Wei cannot.

Don’t be afraid, little piggy. I, Chang Wei, don’t know any martial arts.

Just look for a lone wild boar in the herd. If you see an adult wild boar rolling around comfortably, you are the target. Send it to the Buddha with a quick step, a hunting fork and a kick. If it is so lazy, you may even be able to make it a Purifier of the Altar!

He did the same thing and killed another one, then left the portable space and left.

I came quietly and left quietly. With a wave of my hand, I, Chang Wei, only took away two wild boars.
