266 A Pig (1)
If she wanted the abnormality to be discovered before the white pig was slaughtered, she could only take an unusual path.
Gu Qingming said to the little elf, “Little Kong, you…”
After hearing Gu Qingming’s instructions, the little fairy was speechless.
It asked, “Master, is this good?”
Gu Qingming rubbed her forehead and said helplessly, “In order to save that pig, I can only do this! Alright, this is all I can do for now. I’ll let you out now!”
In any case, it was late at night. It was pitch-black outside, and the cold wind was blowing. The invisible little elf would not be discovered at all.
Just as everyone fell asleep, they were suddenly woken up by an earth-shattering cry.
Eldest Uncle turned on the light and looked at the alarm clock on the bedside table. It was only one o’clock in the morning. It was a little far from the scheduled 4:30 am pig slaughter.
Eldest Aunt woke up in a daze and asked in confusion, “Why do I hear a pig’s squeals? Have they started slaughtering the pig?”
After saying that, she looked at the alarm clock in a daze. Drink, it was only one o’clock.
Eldest Uncle said, “No.”
Eldest Aunt asked in confusion, “Could it be that someone came to steal the pig?”
This was really possible!
As everyone’s standard of living improved, there were fewer and fewer families raising pigs. There were only a few families in the village who knew how to raise pigs. They would sell them at the end of the year.
Pigs at the end of the year were valuable and expensive!
A well-raised pig was worth at least 2,000 dollars.
This way, a pig farmer would be targeted by some petty thieves.
Eldest Uncle got up from the bed, put on a coat, and walked out. Eldest Aunt immediately shouted, “It’s cold outside. Go and wear a thicker jacket!”
With that, Eldest Uncle took out a military green cotton-padded jacket from the closet. He put on the jacket and went out.
When Eldest Uncle walked out of the door, he saw that his two sons had also woken up and were wearing down jackets.
When he walked out of the courtyard, he bumped into his two younger brothers and nephew.
When they bumped into one another, it was naturally because of the pig’s sudden cry.
“The pig is still squealing. No one will steal the pig, right?” Third Uncle Shi Lidong asked doubtfully.
Eldest Uncle shook his head and said somewhat doubtfully, “Those pig thieves will always feed the pig some medicine first. After the pig sleeps, they will steal the pig. If a pig keeps screaming like this and attracts everyone’s attention, wouldn’t the thief be caught? Would there be a thief who is so stupid?”
“Why does this pig keep squealing?” Shi Hangyu was puzzled.
Shi Yaoqing yawned and said, “Yeah? Why does it keep squaeling? Does it know we are slaughtering it?”
As soon as Shi Yaoqing finished speaking, he met everyone’s gaze.
Shi Yaoqing shuddered and asked in confusion, “Why are you all looking at me?”
Second Uncle Shi Liqiu said, “Perhaps Yaoqing is right. Big Brother, let’s go over and take a look.”
The group arrived at the pigpen.
The pigpen was very clean. Every day, it was rinsed, sterilized, and disinfected.
It was winter. In order to keep the pig warm, they laid straw.
There were already two people standing outside the pigpen: Grandma and Grandpa.
“Grandpa, Grandma,” the three children called out. “You’re up too?”
Grandpa said, “Our pig is squealing so loudly. Of course we have to get up and take a look.”
At this point, he paused for a moment and pointed at the white and fat pig in the pigpen. “Look, that pig seems to be crying?”
The white fat pig weighed about 250 kilograms. Its entire body was fair, fat, and clean. It was like a pet pig.
At this moment, the pig was lying on the straw. Its huge pig head was raised towards the door. It opened and closed its mouth and let out a miserable cry.
If one listened carefully, there was a hint of despair in this cry!
The white fat pig opened and closed its mouth and shouted loudly. Its eyes were red and there were crystal tears at the corners of its eyes. In its eyes, there was a kind of pain and despair before death!
Everyone present was instantly shocked!
Their first reaction was to wonder if they had seen or heard wrongly.
“F*ck, this pig has turned into a spirit. Or did I see wrongly? Why do I see that this pig is really crying?” Shi Yaoqing said in surprise.
“You didn’t see wrongly. This pig is really crying!” Grandpa said with a serious expression. “Just now, when we heard the pig’s cry, we walked over and saw two streams of tears at the corners of its eyes. Now, tears have stopped, but there are still tears in its eyes.”
“Could it be that this pig knows that it’s going to be slaughtered tomorrow morning, so it cried and screamed here all night?” Shi Hangyu guessed. “That can’t be, right? It really became a spirit? After the founding of the country, weren’t animals unable to become spirits?”
Grandma said with a serious expression, “This pig has intelligence. Looks like we can’t kill it?”
The others were silent for a moment.
Grandpa nodded in agreement. “That’s right! Any animal that has spirituality can’t be killed!”
“Ah, we can’t kill him? Won’t we have to raise him in the future?” Shi Yuxin said in surprise.
“Yes, we can only raise it!” Grandpa nodded and said, “Not only do we have to raise it, but we also have to serve it well! If our pig can have spirituality, it means that our family is a good family.”
Grandma smiled and said, “Hehe, other people raise dogs and cats as pets. Looks like our family has to raise a fat white pig as a pet!”
There was nothing strange about a pig as a pet.
However, it was rare for a such a fat white pig to be a pet.
Shi Lichun smiled and said, “Alright, I won’t kill this pig of ours. I’ll serve it like an ancestor!”
Shi Hangyu and his brothers were speechless. If they treated a pig as their ancestor, would the actual ancestors of the Shi family crawl out of the tomb and curse?
Grandpa said, “The people who are coming to help tomorrow morning will have to head back. Tomorrow, go find which family will sell an entire pig. Let’s buy another pig and kill it!”
Shi Yaoqing asked, “How should we explain it if we don’t kill this pig?”
“What else can you say? Just say that this pig has spirituality and isn’t going to be killed!” Grandpa snapped. “It’s normal for an animal to have a spirituality!”
The most intelligent animals were mostly dogs and cats. It was rarer for other animals, but it was not impossible.
Their family had good feng shui and a prosperous family. It was not impossible for them to raise a spiritual pig.
Shi Lichun and his brothers said, “Alright, let’s go and ask.”
There were fewer people raising pigs now, but that didn’t mean there were no families raising pigs.
The Shi Family raised pigs to kill them at the end of the year to show off their new year goods. The other families raised pigs for sale.
Grandpa said to the pig, who was still shouting, “Pig, Pig, we won’t kill you tomorrow. Don’t cry.”
As soon as Grandpa finished speaking, the pig stopped squealing.
The members of the Shi Family were speechless.
…
Gu Qingming had been paying attention to the commotion in the pigpen.
Kong Xingfan flew around in the space. “Master, the pig did stay, but how are you going to get it into the space?”
Gu Qingming was speechless.
This was indeed a problem!
