In Tang Shan and Chen Yusheng's butcher career, the first pig they killed was lying on the ground. It opened its mouth wide and looked like it wanted to howl as hard as it could, but it was long out of breath and unable to make a sound.

If there was a coroner now, they would find that this pig did not have any fatal wounds, but it was entirely because there were too many wounds on the neck, and it struggled for too long, and it was not effectively treated, and finally died of exhaustion.

This poor pig looks covered in bruises, except for the knife on his neck, and even the lower half of his body is crushed by two big men and is bruised and purple, which is really miserable. No wonder the hostess was in tears, after all, she had been raised for more than half a year, so she had a little affection no matter how she said it.

Tang Shan only glanced at the pig carcass, and did not dare to take a second look. Because the pig carcass was covered with blood and was not completely coagulated, he felt dizzy at a glance; At a second glance, I'm afraid I'll have to fall to the ground with a "sudden thud".

The hostess was still sad at the pig's carcass, and the more she cried, the more sad she became, patting the pig's head and muttering to herself:

"After stabbing so many knives, it hurts."

As he spoke, he couldn't hold back his crying.

Chen Yusheng was stunned on the spot, not knowing what to do. If the pig is howling, you can continue to mend the knife; But the owner of the pig wept so bitterly that he was helpless.

There was a villager next to him who was more bad, came over and squatted down, stroked the pig's body, looked serious, and said to the hostess with sympathy in his eyes:

"It really died so badly. However, people can't be resurrected after death, ah no, pigs can't be resurrected after death, so you can mourn and change. ”

After saying that, he leaned back and smiled backwards. The onlookers also burst into laughter.

When the pig owner saw that others were laughing at her and her pig so boringly, he stopped crying, stood up calmly and firmly, and instructed Chen Yusheng and Tang Shan, who were standing on the sidelines:

"The water is boiling, let's dehair."

After saying that, he walked to the kitchen on his own, and when he was halfway there, he turned around and ordered, "Clean it up for me." ”

Another villain in the crowd cleverly interjected: "yes, clean it up, if it has half a hair, you two are asking." ”

So, Chen Yusheng led Tangshan and started the next step in the ridicule and laughter of others. Dehairing, disemboweling, handling of offal and pig drainage.

At first, the onlookers pointed and pointed, and from time to time took the opportunity to tell a joke for fun, but gradually, the pointing and pointing were gone, and the ridicule and laughter subsided, and the surroundings were quiet.

It was found that the two young men did their next job quite carefully, and really shaved the pig's body to the fullest, and even the two pig's ears were screwed clean.

The good-looking Tang Shan, who was beautiful and delicate, actually held a small pliers, squatted next to the pig's head, and plucked the pig's nose hair one by one. No matter how ridiculous this behavior is, no one else can laugh anymore.

Everyone finally knew that these two young men were fundamentally different from the previous butchers.

When dealing with live pigs, they are unfavorable because of their methods, and their work can be summed up in only two words: brute;

When it comes to dead pigs, their work can be summed up in two words: serious.

Later, the really boring idlers retreated, and the vast majority of those who stayed to watch were women, among whom the young women who had just married accounted for the majority. In the eyes of these fellow women, serious men are the most handsome. They don't care if other people's pig killing skills are clever or not.

They look at the pleasing looking man, not the skill of killing pigs. It's like fans in the city watching movies and television dramas, only watching stars regardless of acting skills.

Later, when the women were alive and their men were not present, they began to take the initiative to tease the two young butchers:

"Handsome guy, don't throw away the pig whip, although it's shorter, you can also stew soup after washing."

Or warmly invited: "Handsome guy, eat in our village at noon, and let the hostess make up for the fried pork loin." ”

Tang Shan and Chen Yusheng looked tall and strong, one was delicate and the other was full of pride, but they were actually not very mature psychologically; At the moment, squatting in the women's pile to work, in the face of the women's meaningful teasing, I didn't dare to answer.

Especially Tang Shan, who blushed very unproductively. Chen Yusheng was bolder, his mouth did not speak, but his eyes always looked at the appearance of the flirtatious person intentionally or unintentionally.

Anyway, the first business of the two butchers' careers can be regarded as having a happy and perfect ending. When the sun goes down, their work is over, and their status as butchers is recognized.

A month later, people from all over the country knew that there had been two young and serious butchers recently. This should be attributed to the women of Long'an Village, whose amazing gossip mentality, coupled with their amazing ability to spread, have made Tangshan and Chen Yusheng's reputation.

For the next year, Tang Shan and Chen Yusheng had stable jobs and incomes. After killing dozens of pigs, Chen Yusheng's methods became more and more sophisticated, and there was never a pig that could not be killed with a knife. There has never been a hand-to-hand fight with a dying pig on the ground.

Tang Shan was still fainting and bleeding, and his condition did not improve at all, but because of his psychological preparation in advance, he never fainted again; Every time Chen Yusheng moved the knife in front of him, he turned back and used all the strength of his hands to feed, just grasping the two pig's hind legs so that they did not move.

In the eyes of ordinary people, it is easy to stabilize the hind legs of the pig, but in fact it is an illusion. You must know that the strongest strength in the pig's body is on the two hind legs, and it is not so simple to press them with just two arms.

Tang Shan initially suffered a lot on the hind legs of the two pigs. When he killed the first pig, he was unsteady in his grasp, and Chen Yusheng, who was using the knife in front of him, injured himself; Later, although he didn't do anything bad to Chen Yusheng again, he was often kicked by the pig's hind legs and his body was blue and purple.

Once I was kicked on my knee by a strong pig with a hoof, and it hurt for half a month.

It wasn't until a year later that he was finally able to make a move with his two arms, and he was at the mercy of two pork legs.

The reason why Tang Shan's strength in grasping the pig's leg with both hands is emphasized here is that after this period of training, his two strong arms played a huge role in his later life.

In another time and space that Tang Shan unintentionally broke into, he was very amazing because of his two-handed grasp, and even got a nickname called "Dragon Claw Hand" on the rivers and lakes. That's for later.

All in all, Chen Yusheng and Tang Shan, the two butchers, really entered a stable state in terms of technology and strength after one year of practice. However, one day a year later, there was a huge accident.

This accident had nothing to do with technology and strength, but it almost killed them.

A year later, it was already the autumn of the following year. We still remember that Tang Shan was eighteen years old at this time, and Chen Yusheng was twenty years old. They are all at an age when hormone secretion is particularly vigorous.

Now the two of them walking on the county road or the country road will also attract the attention of passers-by, but they no longer dodge as they did at the beginning, but dare to look at passers-by, and even look at each other angrily, scaring each other away.

Of course, the angry glaring is only aimed at boring male audiences, and when they meet female audiences, even if they are older, even if they look very ordinary, the performance of the two is also harmonious.

The initial reaction of hormones to them is to separate the crowd.

Especially Chen Yusheng, on the country road, when he saw a woman, his eyes immediately straightened, and sometimes he couldn't even take a step. Tang Shan was very dissatisfied with his unproductive performance in terms of women, and often laughed at him:

"Damn, how do you act like a prisoner who has been in prison for decades? Can a sow also be seen as a mink? ”

Chen Yusheng sighed: "Waste, waste, it's just a tyrannical thing." ”

Tang Shan was stunned, not knowing where he suddenly got such a deep emotion.

It would take a few years for Tang Shan to understand the true meaning of Chen Yusheng's sigh.

Most of the young and middle-aged laborers in the rural areas have left the country, and in addition to the elderly and children, there are many more young women who have just given birth. Chen Yusheng's "violent destruction of heavenly things" refers to the waste of female resources.

It's a shame that it's uncultivated, fertile land, and left to be left uncultivated. Later, Tang Shan himself sighed meaningfully.

On this day, the two passed through a small and nameless village, where they had no intention of killing pigs. but encountered a strange incident, which gave them another business; And this business has triggered another fatal peachy incident.

To put it simply, there is a family that spends three years raising a huge pig. How big is it? After killing the hair and then stripping off the internal organs, the scale is still enough to weigh 500 catties.

The owner of this house is a man, in his forties, with no wife, no children, no dogs or cats, and finally raised a pig, almost waiting as a pet. Five or six hundred pounds, I have been reluctant to kill.

This pig is also competitive, not only is it getting bigger and bigger, but its appearance is also becoming more and more likable; It is estimated that he still does all kinds of fitness exercises in the bar every day, because he not only grows fat but also muscles.

Short hair, white flesh, sturdy, sharp eyes, flirting teeth and eversion, a real handsome guy among pigs.

Anyway, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like an ordinary pig, it's simply the overlord of the pig population.

On this day, the overlord of the pigs was probably finally unwilling to be lonely, broke through the fence and ran away. In fact, it is not uncommon to run away, many pigs grow to a certain extent, and they will be unwilling to be lonely and break out of the pen. The point is that the handsome guy among our pigs is too presumptuous and has escaped to a place where he shouldn't go.

It ran into a small alley. And this alley has a characteristic, that is, one side is wide and the other is narrow, which is the result of the lack of careful planning of rural houses. Our handsome pig, entering from the wide end of the alley, tried to come out from the narrow end.

The idea of the handsome pig itself is fine, but the worst part is that it ignores its own size. It's so big that the wide end can go in, but the narrow end can't get out.

In fact, it's nothing if you can't get out, you can't squeeze through, take two steps back, go back the same way, and turn around. But our pig overlord is probably used to being domineering, and he has to compete with a small alley, and he never retreats, and keeps squeezing forward. Keep squeezing forward.

In the end, its two front legs came out of the alley, and its stomach and two hind legs, no matter how hard they tried, couldn't squeeze it. What's worse is that it's too late to retreat at this time. So, it just got stuck.

This phenomenon shows that no matter how tall and handsome a pig is, its brain is still a pig's brain. Looking at the world, I don't know how to turn back, I don't know how to turn around. In the end, we can only retreat and lose ground.

When Tang Shan and Chen Yusheng saw this legendary overlord of the pigs, it was stuck at the narrowest end of the alley, looking up to the sky and wailing. And its owner is explaining the reason to passers-by with a handful of snot and tears.

At that time, there were many onlookers, most of whom covered their mouths and laughed. No one can understand the grief of pigs and pig owners.

When the pig owner heard that Tang Shan and Chen Yusheng were famous butchers, it was like grabbing a life-saving straw, and immediately took out fifty yuan and stuffed it into Chen Yusheng's hand, asking him to find a way to keep his pig.

The connoisseur Chen Yusheng walked from one end of the alley to the other, and then from that end back to this end, looking at the overlord among the pigs who were wailing incessantly, and proposed a plan to make the pig owner faint:

"Slaughter on the spot."
