Chapter 265 - 265 A Pig (1)

265 A Pig (1)

Near the end of the year, the young people who had gone out to work returned one after another!

The atmosphere in the village gradually faded.

Every family was showing off their New Year goods. On the roof, there were sausages, cured meat, cured chicken, cured duck, and so on.

The price of pork skyrocketed at the end of the year when sausages and cured meat were sunbaked.

!!

Normally, pork that cost 12 dollars might increase in value to 20 dollars when it was dried.

The Shi family had also prepared dried meat as the entire family liked this kind of cured food.

Every year, the cured meat would cost almost 10,000 dollars. Each brother would contribute at least 3,000 dollars.

The children liked sausages and beef jerky, so they had to prepare more.

The key behind preparing cured meat was to marinate the things that were prepared to be sundried first. After the flavor entered, they would sun them.

…

“Mingming, we have to slaughter pigs tomorrow morning. It might be noisy.”

At dinner, Eldest Uncle told Gu Qingming about the slaughtering of pigs tomorrow.

Gu Qingming was a little puzzled. “Slaughter pigs tomorrow?”

“Yes, it’s almost the new year. I want to make cured meat! We use too much pork at home, so we kill an entire pig,” Shi Lichun said. “The pigs we raise at home have never been fed with commercial feed. This meat is even better! We kill a pig at the end of every year!”

These pigs were raised by her grandparents.

The two older folks were not working in the fields now. They were only feeding some poultry. If they wanted to eat, they could kill them at any time. They definitely could not be sold!

Every year, the two elders would raise a pig. At the beginning of the year, they would start buying a piglet. Then, at the end of the year, they would raise it and kill it to make cured meat.

They planned to raise one or two more when there was a banquet this year.

Gu Qingming’s eyes flashed as she said, “Slaughter tomorrow morning?”

Ever since she found out that her grandparents raised a pig, Gu Qingming would feed it a few drops of spiritual spring water from time to time.

This pig usually ate vegetables that had been watered with spirit spring water.

Therefore, Gu Qingming could guarantee that the taste of this pork was definitely not ordinary.

Gu Qingming said excitedly, “Then I’ll get up tomorrow morning to watch the pig being slaughtered!”

However, Grandma shook her head and said, “The pig slaughter is too bloody and not suitable for you to watch. It’s better if you don’t watch it, lest you scare the child in your womb.

Gu Qingming nodded and said, “Alright, I won’t watch tomorrow. I’ll wait to eat pork tomorrow!”

“Alright, I’ll wake you up tomorrow to eat pork!” Grandma smiled.

…

At night, Gu Qingming entered the space and looked at the greenery. Her brows relaxed and she looked very happy.

She had personally conquered this place! She was proud!

The little fairy flew over and asked, “Master, what good thing did you encounter?”

The corners of Gu Qingming’s mouth curled up as she said, “If we slaughter the pig at home tomorrow morning, I can eat pork at home!”

Kong Xingfan suddenly said with a serious expression, “Master, I’m afraid we can’t kill this pig!”

Gu Qingming asked in confusion, “Why?”

The little fairy said, “You fed this pig a lot of spiritual spring water and it ate the vegetables and fruits planted by the spiritual spring water. After feeding it for so long, it has probably developed intelligence!”

Gu Qingming was stunned and asked, “What do you mean? What is spiritual intelligence?”

“It has a certain level of intelligence!” Kong Xingfan said seriously. “Animals that have just developed intelligence have the intelligence of a one or two-year-old baby! They will be sentien!”

When Gu Qingming heard this, she immediately thought for a moment.

“What will happen to intelligent animals if they are raised in the future?”

“What will happen is equivalent to raising a child. It will understand more and more. However, they are not humans after all and can’t make human voices! However, they can understand the sounds made by humans!”

Hearing Kong Xingfan’s explanation, Gu Qingming understood what it meant!

Gu Qingming asked, “Has that pig at home really developed intelligence? How did you know?”

Why didn’t she notice anything unusual when she went to see that pig every day?

Kong Xingfan said, “Of course I discovered it! Every time that pig was fed by Master, its eyes light up as if it was waiting for that moment.”

Gu Qingming was speechless. She really did not notice this abnormality.

Oh, no. After all, she had never come into contact with a pig before, so she naturally did not know how a pig would be.

Kong Xingfan said, “This pig has developed intelligence. When you kill it tomorrow, it will definitely run and cry.”

At this point, it paused and asked, “Master, is this pig going to stay?”

Gu Qingming thought for a moment and asked, “Little Kong, will animals gain intelligence after drinking the spiritual spring water in the future?”

If animals gained intelligence as long as they drank the spiritual spring water, she would not dare to feed these animals casually in the future.

It was fine if a pig developed intelligence, but if more animals developed intelligence in the future, it would definitely be abnormal!

Kong Xingfan shook its head and said, “No. It depends on the animals themselves. As you often say, a carp jumps through the dragon gate and becomes a dragon.”

Gu Qingming was immediately relieved.

She thought for a moment and said, “If that pig has really developed intelligence, it’s equivalent to a newborn baby. It definitely can’t be killed and eaten. However, Eldest Uncle said that he will kill it tomorrow morning. If I tell Eldest Uncle now that we can’t kill that pig, it will definitely make Eldest Uncle puzzled. Then it will be difficult to explain!”

Kong Xingfan said, “Are we going to wait for the uncles to find out?”

...

“Master, to be honest, even you didn’t notice the change in that pig, so it’s even harder for others to discover it. Now, we can only pray for the discovery to happen. Otherwise, will it only end up being slaughtered?”

Gu Qingming suddenly stared at Kong Xingfan and asked suspiciously, “Little Kong, why didn’t you say it earlier or later? Why did you have to tell me now that the pig we’re going to kill tomorrow has gained intelligence? Do you have a motive?”

“Master, you found out?” Kong Xing Fan said a little embarrassedly, “Actually, I want to put that pig in the space.”

It was too boring for it to be alone in the space. If it had a few more friends, it might be much more interesting.

“What?” Gu Qingming was shocked. “Are you crazy? Do you want me to let a pig in? Are you going to let it ruin my green garden?”

She did not want the vegetables and fruits that she had painstakingly planted to be ruined by a pig.

Kong Xingfan immediately shook his head and said, “No, no.”

“That’s not right! Kong Xingfan.” Gu Qingming seemed to have thought of something. “Didn’t you say that animals and humans can’t be sent in? Why are they sent in now?”

Kong Xingfan said speechlessly, “Master, did you remember wrongly? I said that my space can form a world of its own. Since it can form a world of its own, naturally, anything can be placed there. It’s just that the power of space is relatively weak and can’t allow animals to survive on their own. ”

“In that case, can this pig be sent in?” Gu Qingming said in confusion, “Does the space have power now?”
