Chapter 18: Killing the Pigs
In a blink of an eye, it was the seventh day of the seventh month. In the morning, Zhao Yunwu was going to kill pigs in the yard. There were three pigs in the pigsty, two black and one white. Zhao Yunwu was just about to release the black pig and kill it, Ya'er called Zhao Yunwu aside and said mysteriously: "Yunwu, you are not allowed to kill the pig!" ”
"What's wrong? What do you eat if you don't kill pigs? ”
"Then you are not allowed to kill!"
"Why?"
"I'll tell you a story. After listening to this story, you don't want to kill pigs. ”
"Tell me, I'll listen."
Ya'er blinked her eyes and said softly, "This is a real thing. I listened to my father. In the past, there was a butcher in Yangcaogou who killed pigs for half his life. Once, he killed a pig for a family in the village. When he was about to kill the pig, he found that the knife was missing. He began to look for a pig-killing knife. After looking for a long time, I found that the pig-killing knife was sitting under the butt of a little piglet. ”
"The pig-killing knife was sat under the butt by the little piglet, what's going on?"
"It turned out that the little piglet knew that his mother was going to be killed, so he protected his mother and sat the knife under his buttocks. When the butcher saw it, the mother pig and the baby pig kept squeaking at him, as if they were begging him. When the butcher saw that the two pigs were in deep love, his heart softened and he was moved to tears. Since then he has changed careers and never killed pigs again. ”
"It seems that animals, like humans, have feelings."
"So, I won't let you kill pigs!"
"But if you don't kill the pigs, what will everyone eat tomorrow?"
"Who said you have to eat meat when you get married, if you can't do it, let everyone eat a vegetarian meal, right?"
"Alright then, I'll listen to you."
Zhao Yunwu walked up to Li Yuting Huo Lianfeng and said, "Forget it, don't kill the pigs, let everyone eat vegetarian tomorrow!" ”
"How can there be a vegetarian banquet for marriage? If you can't do it, I'll kill you!" Huo Lianfeng Huo Lianfeng reported himself and said, "I'll kill!" ”
"Forget it, right? Ya'er is kind-hearted and doesn't want to kill. You don't know, Ya'er has the softest heart, his father used to hunt, and she rescued the injured pheasants and rabbits that she brought back. When his father called back one, she saved one. ”
"I'm not afraid of retribution for killing, I'll kill! It's none of your business! "Huo Lianfeng is bent on eating pork.
Huo Lianfeng borrowed a pig-killing knife from Zhang's butcher's house and sharpened the knife on the bar. Li Yuting opened the pigsty and released a black pig. The pig was too lazy to wander around the yard for a while, and lay on the ground without moving.
Because of the old tyrant's strength, this time he was invited to kill the pig, and Li Yuting, as the old tyrant's helper, stayed on the side. When the old tyrant saw that the pig was lying on the ground and did not move, he said, "Up! ”
Several men rushed up and pinned the pig to the ground, and the pig began to scream, realizing that he was about to be killed.
Huo Lianfeng picked up the pig-killing knife and walked over, just about to start, but he didn't expect the pig to kneel down for Huo Lianfeng as soon as he lay down on his front legs, and his little eyes were full of tears.
Cows and horses cry when they are killed, but I didn't expect pigs to cry too. "This pig is really weird! I really can't bear to kill it," Zhao Yunwu said.
"If you don't kill it, there's no meat to eat, look at me!" Huo Lianfeng stabbed the pig's neck, and blood splattered out......
Huo Lianfeng wiped the blood on his face, carried the bloody pig-killing knife, and spit out a mouthful of saliva.
The pig squeaked and screamed.
"Hurry up and catch the pig's blood!" Huo Lianfeng wiped the bloody pig-killing knife on his apron, and his face was very hideous.
After receiving a basin of pig blood, the pig stopped screaming without moving, and tears were still hanging on the sockets of his eyes.
"San'er, what did you really do, did you change your career to kill pigs?" Li Yuting said with a wicked smile.
"Hehe" Huo Lianfeng was still in the excitement of killing pigs.
"You said that if a pig could talk, what could he say before he died?" Li Yuting made a contemplative state.
"If it can speak, why can't it scold Huo Lianfeng for not being human?" Zhao Yunwu stared blankly at the pig's corpse.
"Haha, San'er, you're really doing this!"
"What's so great about killing a pig! It's a trifle. Huo Lianfeng could hear that Li Yuting and Zhao Yunwu were singing and sarcastically mocking him.
"What the hell are you doing!" Li Yuting continued to ridicule Huo Lianfeng.
"Damn, let you be all good people, I'm just not a human being!" Huo Lianfeng sat on the ground.
"Okay, you have a merit in killing pigs, right? Hehe" Li Yuting took out a golden gun cigarette and lit one.
Huo Lianfeng glanced at Li Yuting, took the knife and began to pick pigs into the water.
The pig was happily dismembered, and soon it was going to be on the table.
After Zhao Yunwu and the others finished killing the pigs, they were busy cleaning the house, pasting happy words, and borrowing several tables from the neighbors, Zhang Luo for a day, and got married. In a blink of an eye, it was dark, and Zhao Yunwu learned three cuckoo calls in the courtyard, which was the secret code of Zhao Yunwu and Ya'er. Ya'er heard the code, poked her head out of the room, and asked, "Yunwu, what's the matter?" ”
Zhao Yunwu said: "Let's go out and talk"
Ya'er secretly ran out of the courtyard and walked hand in hand with Zhao Yunwu towards the entrance of the village.
The evening breeze is blowing, the crickets rustle in the grass, and the night sky is full of stars.
Ya'er sat under the big locust tree, held her cheeks, and said faintly: "Brother Yunwu, we will get married tomorrow!" ”
"yes!"
"Today is the Qixi Festival, the day when the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet."
"Yes"
Ya'er looked at the starry sky and asked, "Which one is the Vega Star and which one is the Cowherd Star?" ”
Zhao Yunwu pointed with his hand: "That star is Vega, and that star is the Cowherd Star." ”
"The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl are so pitiful, one is on this side of the Tianhe River, and the other is on the other side of the Tianhe. Yunwu, after we get married, we will never be separated, okay? ”
"Good"
Ya'er looked at Zhao Yunwu's big eyes in the moonlight, smiled stupidly, and leaned her head on his shoulder. Zhao Yunwu hugged Ya'er.
"Yunwu, I'm going to marry you tomorrow, I'm happy when I think about it"
"Me too"
"It's a pity that my father died early and didn't see me get married. I used to want revenge, but now I want to open it and not take revenge. I've lost my dad and don't want to lose you again."
"Ya'er, your business will be my business in the future, and I will definitely kill the big drum for you"
"Big drum music is not going to end well. Tomorrow is a good day for us, don't talk about that."
