Chapter 45: Killing a pig is more dangerous than killing
In the following days, Tang Shan and Chen Yusheng went to several suburban villages, and although they did not meet difficult second-rate people, they still returned in vain. Without him, it's all because of looks.
One is tall, the other is delicate. The beards had not yet grown, and no one believed that the two of them could settle a pig.
Half a month later, Chen Yusheng grew a beard, deliberately basked in the sun for several days, and added acne on his face, his skin became thick and dark, and then he put on his father's previous work clothes. Tang Shan suddenly saw this look and was taken aback:
"Damn, how do you look like you're nineteen? Some people believe that you are thirty-nine years old. ”
Chen Yusheng laughed and pointed his finger: "This is the effect you want." ”
He looked Tang Shan up and down again, very dissatisfied: "Didn't you ask you to clean up your image earlier?" Why is it still a little fresh meat? ”
Tang Shan spread his hands and posed as a cool model: "Isn't I handsome like this?" Like Huang Xiaoming? ”
Chen Yusheng expressed his helplessness: "My eldest brother, what you want to be a butcher is not handsome, but fierce. Got it? ”
Tang Shan pointed at Chen Yusheng and said in a low voice: "It's enough to have you so fierce." You're the main knife butcher, I'm just a soy sauce beater. Then you kill your pig, and I'll soak my chick. Take what you need. ”
Chen Yusheng was very dissatisfied with Tangshan's cynicism:
"Damn, if you're not on the road, when will we be able to enter the industry?"
Tang Shan was also a little dissatisfied with Chen Yusheng's harsh requirements:
"Big brother, you didn't kill the pig, but there are a lot of rules. I'm already very humble, okay, you can kill a pig and let me learn. Patronizing the design and styling is a fart, and it's not filming. ”
Chen Yusheng knew that Tangshan's rotten wood could not be carved, and he would definitely not be able to become a qualified butcher, and this person's temper was like a stone in a hair pit, smelly and hard, and it was futile to say anything, so he had to give up.
On this day, the two of them made a mistake and came to the village they had been to for the first time. It's not that they miss it, but they plan to go to a farther and more remote village, through which they have to pass.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered the village, a woman in her early forties came over and asked timidly:
"Hey, you two, did you really kill a pig?"
Chen Yusheng was very dissatisfied with this question, because it was obvious that he was looking at people through the cracks in the door, so he replied menacingly:
"Auntie, you have what you say. Look at my outfit and all these bright guys. Not bragging, we've killed more pigs than you've ever picked up kids. ”
Tang Shan wanted to laugh when he heard it, Chen Yusheng was really a rough man, to make an analogy, so nondescript, so he stepped forward and asked very politely:
"Auntie, do you have pigs to slaughter?"
The woman was still timid: "I have a pig that I have raised for more than half a year, and I don't see any longer than that, so I want to kill it." ”
Chen Yusheng clapped his hands: "You can be regarded as finding the right person." We are old butchers, family heirlooms, fair prices, and no bullying. Let's go, lead the way. ”
Tang Shan covered his mouth behind him and laughed, thinking that the "family heirloom skills" were barely justified, because your father killed pigs, but calling himself an "old butcher" was nonsense; As for the fair price, it's even more nonsense, because you've never offered anyone an offer.
When I came to the woman's residence, it turned out that there was no man in the house, and I didn't know if her man had died or had run away. I didn't see any children, and she was the only one in the house.
However, looking at the age of this woman, even if she has children, she is estimated to be an adult, either studying outside or working outside.
These details are not easy to ask. Of course, there is no need, killing pigs is not to check the household registration. So, Tang Shan and Chen Yusheng didn't even drink a sip of water, and were led directly by the woman to the pigpen.
The pig is indeed not big, and it is estimated that it is one hundred and fifty pounds by visual inspection, and in the pig population, it may only be a half-old child.
Chen Yusheng saw the size of the pig and let go of half of his heart. The pig is only one hundred and fifty catties, and the two big men who killed the pig weigh nearly three hundred catties together. Not to mention stabbing it with a knife, even if it is pressed, it can be crushed to death.
I don't believe that a pig can still deal with two big men, unless it has practiced Shaolin* martial arts
Chen Yusheng appeared to be very sophisticated at the beginning. When he was a child, he often saw his father killing pigs, and he never ate pork, and he also saw pigs running, which is what he meant. He took a position and stretched out his long hook, which caught the pig's jaw in one fell swoop.
Tang Shan secretly admired his accurate shots.
Together, they grabbed the long hook and dragged the pig out. The pig was in pain and howled so loudly that the whole village could hear it. The four pig's trotters borrowed their strength on the ground, trying to stay in place and resisting stubbornly. But after all, the size was too small, and the two big men dragged it out of the pig pen with a little force.
A bench has been set up not far from the pigpen, and a basin with pig's blood has been placed in front of the bench. Next to the basin, there was a shining butcher knife.
The two dragged the pig three feet away from the bench, Chen Yusheng instructed Tang Shan to grab the pig's hind legs, and he dragged the pig to the bench with the force of the hook. Then, he quickly picked up the butcher's knife from the ground, made a gesture on the pig's neck, and stabbed it straight in.
Blood splattered, and the pig ached again, howling again. The howl was louder than just now, and it had the effect of piercing the stones and splitting the clouds, and it was estimated that people from five miles away could hear it.
Unfortunately, Tang Shan caught a glimpse of splashing blood in the corner of his eye, and his brain turned black, and he almost repeated the mistake of attacking Zhou Weiliang in the first place, and he was about to faint again. Fortunately, he was mentally prepared, and immediately turned his head to look behind him, and his eyes saw again.
But the strength in his hand was loosened because of this.
Tang Shan's body is not strong, and he originally had to hold on to the hind legs of the two pigs, but he was a little reluctant, and even used the strength to eat milk, so that he could not let the pigs kick and kick indiscriminately. With this relaxation, things go bad.
As soon as Tangshan relaxed, the pig became more energetic. kicked and kicked, and rushed forward a lot, but Chen Yusheng's knife only stabbed five inches, and there were still eight or nine inches of blades left outside. So, the pig's body rushed forward, and the blade slashed backwards.
This stroke was drawn on Chen Yusheng's left hand holding the pig's body. A long cut was made in his elbow.
Chen Yusheng grinned in pain. Human blood and pig blood are mixed together.
Chen Yusheng was in pain, and his strength was also relaxed. In this way, the pig rolled to the ground. As soon as the hooves flipped, they had to get up and run away.
Fortunately, Chen Yusheng reacted quickly, ignoring the wound on his left hand, and immediately pounced on it to suppress the upper body of the pig. turned around and shouted to Tang Shan:
"Hold on, hold on, you fuck hold it for me."
Under Chen Yusheng's roar, Tang Shan was completely awake, tilting his head not to look at the puddle of blood in front of him, and it was also a swoop, suppressing the lower half of the pig's body.
In this way, two big men pressed a 150-pound pig to the ground and couldn't move. This scene is not like killing a pig, but a life-and-death struggle with a pig.
The hostess next to her, at first, saw the pig rolling to the ground, and was stunned and speechless; Now I saw two big men crushing the pig to the ground and gasping for breath, and they screamed in fright.
The howling of pigs and the screams of people attracted many onlookers.
The villagers did not know that the hostess was going to kill the pig, and they were attracted by the chaotic shouts, and when they saw two big men leaning on the ground and holding a pig, they thought that the bandits had come in the blue sky and were robbing. I can't help but be indignant.
There are a few impulsive middle-aged greasy men who have stepped forward to help after handling a hoe or sickle. It's not a favor for people, it's a favor for pigs. Others shouted:
"I've seen people stealing chickens, but I've never seen people robbing pigs in broad daylight. Is there any royal law in this world? ”
The masses with a sense of justice vowed to free the pig from the two bandits.
Chen Yusheng and Tang Shan couldn't cry or laugh on the ground, and the two of them used all their strength to hold the pig down, and they didn't have any extra energy to deal with the angry villagers. I can't even say anything to explain.
Fortunately, after a series of screams, the hostess suddenly calmed down, knowing that if she screamed like this again, the pig might not be able to be killed today.
It's okay if the pig can't be killed, it's a big deal to choose another day, please be smart. The point is that the pig has already been stabbed, and it is not quite unjust to give up?
So the hostess opened her arms and stood in front of the angry crowd, and cried out incoherently:
"It's not about robbing pigs, it's about killing pigs. Kill the pigs! Kill the pigs! ”
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they understood: these two guys killed the pigs, killed them too much, and rolled to the ground.
Then someone recognized that the two young men who had tried their best to hold down the pig were butchers who had come to the village many days earlier and who even dared to kill people.
As soon as everyone's tense nerves relaxed, they all let out a burst of laughter, and one of the villains said in the tone of the former second-rate son:
"This is killing pigs, it's basically being killed by pigs."
Another villain said, "It's okay, it's okay, at least I have a slight upper hand by crushing the pig under me." ”
The last villain sarcastically commanded the hostess:
"Don't worry, rest assured, the two butchers have controlled the scene and will definitely be able to kill the pig. You should go and boil a pot of boiling water, and then remove the hair while the corpse is not hard. ”
When the hostess heard this, she thought it made sense, and actually turned around and went into the kitchen to boil water.
All the idlers here are holding their chins and smiling like watching entertainment, admiring the two people and one pig on the ground.
Tang Shan was full of shame, he didn't dare to raise his head at all, his two eyes looked at the hind legs of the pig kicking on the ground, ready to retreat. But as soon as his strength was loosened, the pig arched upward, and Chen Yusheng felt it, and hurriedly scolded:
"Damn, cooperating with you to kill pigs is God's punishment for me."
Chen Yusheng knows that the matter has come to this point, and only success is allowed to fail; If you let this pig run alive today, you won't want to be a butcher in the future.
Although Chen Yusheng is not skilled, he is bold and fierce. He sideways felt the butcher's knife that had fallen to the ground, and slammed it diagonally under the pig's neck.
The tip of the knife was off and didn't reach the heart. The pig was in pain, howling, and writhing beneath it.
Chen Yusheng pulled out the knife and stabbed it again in a different position. Still didn't reach the heart, and the pig howled louder and churned harder.
Chen Yusheng was born with a tenacity of "either you die or I die", pulling out the knife and stabbing again, the pig barking again, and churning again.
I didn't expect this pig to be a tenacious person, and he was stunned by so many stabs.
Of course, Chen Yusheng is unwilling to give up, but in fact, he can't give up. He stabbed the pig in the neck eight times in and out, until the pig's neck was full of knife holes.
In the end, the pig was a minor, and after so many knives, it couldn't hold on, its cry became lower and lower, and the churning amplitude became smaller and smaller. He stared at his enemy Chen Yusheng for a long time, and finally closed his eyes.
The pig was killed with such difficulty. Tang Shan was covered in mud, Chen Yusheng's face was covered with blood, and the two of them got up from the ground almost at the same time and let out a long breath.
The hostess boiled boiling water, and when she went out, she saw that the pig was dead, but the pig's blood was sprinkled all over the ground. I wanted to make a pig blood tofu soup at night, but now it's completely out of play.
Chen Yusheng wants to ask the hostess for credit and start the next step. Unexpectedly, the hostess suddenly burst into tears, and asked the two young butchers in a trembling voice:
"What kind of feud did you two have with my pig in your last life, and you have to stab it so many times in this life?"
Then she squatted down, stroked the pig's head with both hands, and continued to say with a crying voice:
"Look at this neck, it's all a sieve."
