Chapter 23: Killing the Pig

"The slaves led hundreds of thousands of people to attack the Iron Mountain, and the clouds were straight from the mouth of the beach, and they were separated from the tents of the ministers. Multiply by the ice, why is it difficult to measure? On the fifteenth day, suddenly there was a black dragon about ten zhang long, from the southwest ocean, running to the east with its head held high, until the clouds came, the sound was like a mountain falling, the sea ice was cracked, and it flowed. When Fang is shining, the dragon is stinging, not coming out of the sky, there is really something to do, and it has tacitly ordered our division to be surprisingly divergent, and repeatedly frustrated the crazy front ears! ”

Lin Mengchu sat on the horse, feeling that the mount was following her wishes, and she was so happy that she couldn't do it. The North Koreans who were forced to go north were sad, even Jin Sunyang. The further they went, the more apprehensive they became. Chen Cheng ignored the fallen corpses on both sides of the road and looked up into the distance. Out of sight, the Houjin army was heading north.

He raised his hand and shouted, "Stop! ”

Kim Sun-yang and Choi Sung-so immediately stopped the sad-faced North Koreans in Korean, which is the official language in Korean, and scholars and people with a little ability can speak it. Everyone stopped, looking at Chen Cheng, a great husband who was like a demon god, to see if he had anything to say.

"There's a village over there, let's go get something to eat first, and then rest for a while."

The North Koreans, who had been sad, immediately became happy when they heard that there was something to eat. The village is about four miles from the road, built on a hillside, with farmland in front and back, but now covered in snow and ice. Seeing the group approaching with knives and guns, there was a bang in the village, and several villagers rushed out with sharpened sticks and hunting bows.

Jin Sun stepped forward and said proudly: "My lord came to eat something here, why don't you open the fence quickly?" Don't you want to rebel? ”

The villagers looked at each other, the crowd parted, and a gray-haired old man poked his head out and asked, "You are not Jiannu?" ”

He spoke Korean, Lin Mengchu couldn't understand it, but Chen Cheng could already understand a few points. Jin Sun glanced at Chen Cheng and scolded: "Blind your dog eyes, see clearly, can Jiannu be as majestic as my family?" Open the door! ”

Li Zheng, that is, the village chief, hesitated for a while, but still let the fence open and let the group in. Jin Sun swaggered in front, and Chen Cheng's voice suddenly sounded behind him, "Golden Sun", he was excited, quickly turned around, nodded and said, "My lord, is there something wrong?" ”

Chen Cheng pointed to the open space in the center of the village and said, "Let your people prepare a fire there to make food, and let the villagers prepare four iron pots and corresponding firewood." ”

He casually threw out a piece of silver, about five taels, "Give the money to the village chief, and ask him to prepare more dry goods and winter bamboo shoots and the like." ”

Jin Sun checked the silver in his hand and felt a little pity. So much money, enough to buy how much rice, just give it to the village chief here? As soon as he raised his eyes and saw Chen Cheng looking at him, he suddenly trembled, and hurriedly stuffed the silver to the village chief, and said with a fake smile: "Your Excellency rewards you, quickly take out the things!" ”

The village chief looked at the silver in his hand, and then at Chen Cheng's big man, and suddenly became energetic, he said a few words loudly, and the whole village became lively. The villagers set up a large iron pot in the open field, tore open the cabbage gang and threw it inside, and brought out the spicy cabbage, as well as pickled cabbage.......

When Lin Mengchu saw it, he couldn't help but pout, and complained: "How much do Koreans like to eat cabbage?" Well, South Korea is also North Korea, right? ”

When the Koreans were busy, Chen Cheng took out a short sword and said to Lin Mengchu: "Although swordsmanship is not very useful, it is not too powerful to have many skills. Come, I'll teach you a few of the easiest tricks first. ”

This Lin squad leader liked it, she immediately pulled out the short sword at her waist and was eager to try.

"The short sword is used for self-defense, and the main attack is to stab, in addition to this, you can also use the ........ slash"

The fire was blazing, Chen Cheng took out some bacon, bacon, and rice, and made a lot of meals, in addition to feeding the Koreans under his command, the rest was distributed to the people in the village. There are many Koreans and few lands, and the north is full of mountains, and the more and more nobles are born, the people have long been miserable. At such a time, eating rice and drinking broth, many people cried with joy.

Chen Cheng had long been accustomed to this situation, but it was the first time Lin Mengchu had seen someone cry like this because he could eat rice. She had a thoughtful expression as she ate the self-heating rice.

It was getting late, and after eating, the village chief diligently packed up his house for the two nobles to live in, and the others also made their own arrangements. The place where Chen Cheng and Lin Mengchu live is a relatively large house, with a fire in the middle, a copper kettle that has been used for an unknown amount of time, and tatami mats and other things on the side.

The two of them sat on it, talking while they roasted the fire.

"Student Chen......."

"Why do you call me Chen?"

"Ah, your surname is Chen, and you're my classmate, shouldn't you be called Chen?"

"Then should I call you Lin?"

"It's okay, classmate Lin, hey, it sounds pretty good, no one called me that before." Lin Mengchu smiled and said, "What are we going to Pyongyang for?" ”

"Two things, one, gather people. Second, collect supplies. ”

"I thought you were going to fight the Qing soldiers."

"The golden sun said before that Hong Tai had just inherited the position of the Great Khan, and now the country name of the Jianzhou Jurchen is still Houjin. Let's get more people first and develop ourselves. Hmm, you like to fight? ”

"yes, isn't it?"

Chen Cheng said: "It's rare for girls to like this. ”

"Hmph, do you know how the woman is?" Lin Mengchu raised his head and said proudly: "My ideal is to become a general like a woman!" ”

Looking at Lin Mengchu like this, for some reason, Chen Cheng suddenly remembered Gong Xuelai. The two are very similar to each other in a way, and they are both new women with a sense of autonomy and independence. If the two of them bumped into each other, they would probably have a lot in common....... It's weird, it's best that the two never run into each other!

The two talked for a while, Chen Cheng still acted as if nothing happened, but Lin Mengchu was a little sleepy, and fell asleep on his body in a daze. When she woke up again, she found herself lying on the couch with a thick quilt on her body. I heard the sound of sharpening knives outside, and someone was talking in whispers.

She scrambled out of bed and pulled out her pistol. Chen Cheng was standing in front of the window, and Lin Mengchu walked over lightly, a little nervous and a little excited: "Is someone calling?" ”

Chen Cheng shook his head and said, "Those North Koreans are preparing to kill pigs." ”

"Huh?" Lin Mengchu was stunned and asked, "Kill the pig.... Why is pig killing so mysterious? Still talking so quietly? ”

Chen Cheng laughed and said, "Isn't that afraid of waking you up?" Have you ever seen a pig killed? ”

"Nope."

"Do you want to go out and have a look?"

"Yes, yes!"

The two pushed the door out, and the North Koreans who were preparing outside saw it and hurriedly bent down. Jin Sun was instructing the villagers to prepare boiling water, and sharpening the knife faster, at this time, he immediately ran over, nodded and said, "My lord, are you awake?" ”

Lin Mengchu pursed his lips, "Isn't this nonsense?" ”

Chen Cheng waved his hand, and two bags of rice appeared on the side, and said: "Take it to the village chief, just say that it is for him, we can't ask for other people's things for nothing." ”

Jin Sun had already seen this kind of demonic ability yesterday, and he was still shocked at this time. He swallowed his saliva, and finally couldn't help but ask, and said, "My lord, are you a fox fairy on the mountain?" ”

Chen Cheng thought for a moment and said, "No. ”

Jin Sun waited to ask again, but he didn't dare, and went to the village chief with full doubts. Whether it's a fox fairy or not, Baihuahua's rice is always delicious. The people at the bottom work hard all year round, and often use dried radishes to satisfy their hunger, not to mention eating meat, and some people can risk their lives just for those rice.

After a while, a screaming black pig was pulled out. The pig was only a hundred catties, looking pitiful and helpless, Lin Mengchu saw it, a little unbearable, took Chen Cheng's hand, and said, "This pig is still so young that it will be killed?" ”

Chen Cheng said in his heart that the girl is really strange, she didn't blink when she killed people before, but now she feels distressed when she kills a pig.

He was about to say something, but his mind was thinking about something from the past. After pondering for a while, Chen Cheng said: "Gentleman is far away, if you feel unbearable, then don't look at it." As long as you can't see it, you can act like something hasn't happened. ”

Lin Mengchu said in surprise: "Isn't this self-deception? ”

Chen Cheng smiled: "Most people live like this, the so-called rare confusion." ”

Lin Mengchu pursed his lips and said, "You speak in the same tone as an old man, oh, I mean my father." You just spoke like him! ”

Chen Cheng smiled, pinched her face, and said, "Good daughter! ”

Lin Mengchu raised his fist angrily and was about to hit him. At this moment, after a high-pitched scream, a gap was made in the neck of the black pig that was pressed against the door panel, and blood gushed out. In the wooden basin on the ground, blood gradually increased.

After a while, the black pig died. The villagers poured boiling water on the pigs, and then used planers to shave the black hairs on the pigs, revealing white flesh. Then the butcher goes into battle, first cutting off the pig's head with a knife, then disemboweling it, removing the internal organs, and then unloading the pig into eight pieces.

Lin Mengchu had never seen such a situation, and he couldn't take his eyes off it, and felt that this was much more interesting than measuring data in the laboratory. Some children in the village on the side picked up pig urine bubbles, blew them up and used them as balls, and played happily on the side.

The water in the cauldron was boiled again, and the villagers first washed the water and threw it in, and put a lot of dried vegetables, spicy cabbage and other things. Soon, aromas came out of the pot. The children didn't play with pig urine anymore, and they all drooled around the cauldron.
