The unhappiness of New Year's Day was quickly forgotten by several people under the deliberate neglect of several people.

Today was a rare sunny day, and at eight o'clock in the morning, the sun was already starting to radiate its temperature.

In the past few days, some people in the village who have raised pigs have started to kill New Year's pigs, and today it is the turn of the Shu family and several other families.

Now there is almost a month before the Chinese New Year, and it stands to reason that it is a bit late to make bacon at this time. But not before

Grandma Shu Nuan doesn't raise pigs here, but today she wants to buy some pig's heads and come back to make bacon, so naturally she has to go over early.

Because the village is located in the mountains, the traffic is not very convenient, all the pork of the pig farmers is either smoked into bacon and taken out for sale, or directly notify the villagers in the village before killing the pig, and then directly sell fresh pork at the pig killing place.

In the crowd of onlookers, the big fat pig with white and fat looks was driven out of the pigsty, then tied up with hemp rope and carried away directly with a flat pole.

"Hmph...... Hmph......"

In the mournful cry of the pig, the group went to the place where the pig was killed.

When they kill pigs here, they directly lift the pigs to the house of the pig killing master to deal with them. There are stone tables and stoves, and you only need to give some pork to ask for help.

This time of year is the busiest time of year in the village before the Chinese New Year.

Shu Zheming looked at the crowd carrying the big fat pig and gradually moved away, and urged a little anxiously: "Sister, are you okay?" If you don't go, it's too late. ”

The first few days of elementary school were closed, and in recent days, there have been significantly more children running around the village.

"Don't worry." Shu Nuan responded, and then reminded: "Mingming, come in and help get the pot, and come back with some pig blood in a while." ”

"It's coming, it's coming."

Shu Zheming ran into the kitchen with a gust of wind, and then ran out with another gust of wind.

Shu Nuan glanced at the back of his younger brother, then took out a bag from under the cabinet, and after taking out fifty yuan, he thought about it for a moment and took another fifty yuan.

In previous years, they used to share a few catties of meat and bone offal when the Shu family killed the New Year's pigs, and they would not deliberately pay for it.

Shu Nuan was reluctant to eat or wear before, so he wanted to save money.

Now that she has arrived, she has finally understood that she is not well fed and clothed, and it is useless to keep the money.

"It's been a long time since I've bought meat, and I don't know what the price is."

Shu Nuan secretly thought in his heart while putting the money in his pocket.

When she walked out the door, the other two were already waiting for her.

Shu Zheming held a large basin in his hand, but his eyes were on the path outside the courtyard.

Wu Huihong carried the basket on her back, and when she saw Shu Nuan coming out, she hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out her hand to help her.

"Your injuries are not healed yet, or are you still waiting at home? We will be back soon. ”

Shu Nuan moved his injured leg and shook his head gently: "It's okay, I feel almost better, it doesn't matter." ”

"How can it not be affected, it will take a hundred days to break your muscles and bones, and you will only raise it for a few days?"

Wu Huihong said disapprovingly, but slowly let go of the hand that was holding Shu Nuan.

"Alright, let's go." Shu Nuan smiled. "It's not too early, and if you go later, I'm afraid I'll miss it."

When someone killed the New Year pig two days ago, they wanted to buy pork, but because they were waiting for the Shu family to kill the New Year pig, they waited until today.

Subsequently, the group of three set off for their destination.

After walking for about 20 minutes, I finally arrived at my destination.

Shu Nuan saw the courtyard full of people from a distance, and at the same time, there was a terrible scream of a big fat pig.

"Are we late?"

Shu Zheming said, and couldn't help trotting.

"Don't worry, you can catch up."

After Shu Nuan shouted softly, he saw that his younger brother was still hurrying forward.

After chuckling, she shook her head and continued to walk slowly with her grandmother beside her.

A moment later.

Shu Nuan came to the outside of the crowd and looked up inside.

The others, noticing her clubbing crutches, took a step back so that she could walk smoothly to the front.

"Thank you, thank you......"

Shu Nuan thanked him and came to the front.

The master who killed the pig is also a villager in his own village, but his surname is Sun, and everyone calls him Master Sun.

The house where Master Sun lives is two hundred meters away from the nearest neighbor, and there is a courtyard outside the house, but there is no wall, but it is open.

At this moment, water was boiling on the earthen stove in the yard, waiting for a while to scald the pig's hair.

And in the corner of the courtyard, several big fat pigs that were tied up and sturdy were lying on the ground and humming.

Shu Nuan watched all this, supported the crutches with his arm, and moved his wrist.

"It doesn't look like it's started yet."

While waiting, there were more and more onlookers.

It was also at this time that Wu Huihong moved a chair from nowhere and gently placed it beside her.

"I'll have to wait a while, you sit down first. I've already discussed with the one who killed the pig, and I'll leave us some pig blood later. ”

"Okay."

Shu Nuan replied and sat down slowly.

She wasn't tired, but she wasn't fit to stand for long.

The two of them talked in a low voice, and Shu Zheming over there had already played with his friends in the same village.

When all the preparations were made, several men pressed the big fat pig to the stone slab, and a large basin of pig's blood was also arranged.

After sharpening the knife for a long time and confirming that the pig killing knife in his hand was sharp, Master Sun slowly walked over with the knife.

When the onlookers saw this, they knew that this was about to begin.

Shu Nuan looked at Master Sun's pig-killing knife, only to see that the blade was sharp and polished to a lack of white light.

Parents called their children running around to their side, and Wu Huihong also called Shu Zheming to their side.

The big fat pig lay on the stone slab and hummed for a while, without waiting for the next action, and finally quieted down.

Master Sun reached out and touched the pig's neck, as if to confirm the location of the knife.

Whenever Master Sun pressed the pig's neck, the pig let out a terrible scream.

At the same time, the onlookers also began to discuss.

"It's a terrible scream to know that you want to kill it."

"No matter how stupid the pig is, he knows that he is going to be knifed, of course he screams badly."

"Anyway, whose pig is this, it looks really good, at least two hundred catties."

"It seems to be from the second uncle's family."

"His family is willing to feed the pigs to eat grain, and this will grow well."

Shu Nuan listened to the discussion in his ears and turned his gaze to Master Sun, who was about to go under the knife.

The onlookers reached out to cover their children's eyes, not allowing them to see the scene of killing pigs, and even Shu Zheming was covered by Wu Huihong and was not allowed to look.
