Who knows! As soon as I returned to the mountains to farm, I encountered a natural disaster.

She had seen other people killing pigs and sheep before, but it was nothing like this.

When slaughtering domestic pigs, they lay them flat on the wooden board, and there is no need to peel the pig skin. You only need to scald the hair off with boiling water.

To kill a wild boar, you need to peel off the skin bit by bit from the tail end.

When killing a sheep, you need to skin it, but it is not as difficult as a wild boar. As long as you cut off the adhesive tissue at the tail end, the entire skin can be easily torn off.

The wild boar was different. Zhao Yeqing watched Mu Xi use a small knife to separate the skin from the meat bit by bit from the beginning to the end.

There was no fat under the skin of the wild boar, only a very thin layer of white. After peeling off the skin, the muscle texture on the body was clearly visible, especially the thighs, which were bulging, just like the thighs she saw of contestants in bodybuilding competitions. .

Zhao Yeqing saw that Mu Xi's division method was very professional and skillful, so he asked his doubts directly.

"Why are you so skilled? You shouldn't be poaching wild boars on your own, right?"

Mu Xi continued the division work in his hands and said without raising his head: "Wild boars have been removed from our country's three protections in the past two years. Although private large-scale hunting is not allowed, they have overrun the area near our protected area. If you encounter it, you need to clean it up.”

The meat cut from the wild boar was piled high in the basin, and the amount was astonishing.

Zhao Yeqing's small freezer will definitely not fit in it.

"How to preserve this? Can wild boar be used as bacon?"

Mu Xi divided the meat into two piles and said, "It can be smoked and tastes good after being processed, but it should be frozen as much as possible."

There are also some ice cubes in the freezer that she uses to make cold drinks and milk to make snow cakes.

Mu Xi took out everything, put the meat at the bottom, sealed the ice cubes and milk in bags and placed them on top.

"You wait a moment, I will prepare the meal first."

Zhao Yeqing was lying on the bench and responded: "The rice in the kitchen is not under the table, it's in the cupboard."

The people in the kitchen responded that they knew.

Zhao Yeqing was in a daze. In the past, when he was young, his grandfather and grandpa Mu would go up the mountain to patrol together. Grandma and grandma Mu would sometimes go down the mountain to buy things together. She and Mu Xi were the only two people left at home. If they met grandpa and the others and spent the night in the mountains, grandma would When they went to the market in the city and were not at home, Mu Xi would come over to her house and cook dinner for her.

The image of Mu Xi in her heart since she was a child is that he is annoying but reliable.

The aroma slowly began to waft out of the kitchen, and Zhao Yeqing's stomach felt a little twitchy. She had recognized Mu Xi's craftsmanship since she was a child.

The dishes served on the table looked very impressive, a stainless steel basin filled with braised wild boar meat.

Zhao Yeqing had a bowl of rice stuffed in his hand. Faced with this big bowl, he suddenly didn't know how to use his chopsticks.

"Eat it, it's no secret that you have been addicted to pigs since you were a child."

Zhao Yeqing chose not to share the same views with him for the sake of delicious food.

The taste of wild boar is completely different from that of domestic pigs. It has a very barbaric meat taste in the mouth. The smell of wild beast meat has been processed very cleanly. The meat is firm but not woody. There is a little fat mixed in the red muscles, which fills the mouth. The rich aroma of oil.

Zhao Yeqing had a full belly and spread out on the bench, eating snow cakes.

Mu Xi seemed to like Mu Xi very much. They had only known each other for less than a day, and he was already following Mu Xi up and down.

Mu Xi marinated the wild boar meat for smoke and put it aside. For the fifth time, he caught Zhao Yeqing's secret glance at him and walked over helplessly to sit down.

"Huh? What are you peeking at?"

Zhao Yeqing cleared his throat, "I just want to talk to you."

Mu Xi leaned back in the chair, stretched his legs and folded them together. The dim light from the old-fashioned light bulb above his head fell down, and the reflection of his long eyelashes covered the expression in his eyes. For a moment, the only sounds in the whole space were the insects in the forest. song.

"There is chaos outside now. The government has relocated most of the people, and a small number have been absorbed by other non-governmental organizations to rob survival supplies. Conflicts often occur. Several times of official suppression by force has not had any substantive effect, but has led to rescue operations. People are very worried, and the official measures are not too tough, but it is estimated that they are about to get tough, and if we don't implement the measures, the unrest will be even more serious."

Zhao Yeqing didn't expect him to be so straightforward, and he guessed what she wanted to ask, and listened to him before she spoke,

"The nearest rescue point is in the city, and your aunt and the others are all there. Now the official has issued many temporary policies and laws, with heavy penalties, in order to warn those restless people."

"The rupture is not just nationwide, but all over the world. It has also triggered tsunamis and volcanic eruptions. Some countries with frequent volcanoes and close to the sea have disappeared."

Zhao Yeqing did not expect that the situation would develop so rapidly, nor did he expect that the dark side of people would be revealed so quickly.

"I have no intention of taking you out." Mu Xi's voice was straightforward.

Zhao Yeqing was stunned: "Then you came back..."

"I don't plan to go out either."

The man's eyebrows stretched, the ends of his eyes were raised, and there was a tiny light in his dark eyes, which was staring straight at her.

Her heart skipped a beat as she looked at Guang Guang, and just as she was about to turn her head away, Mu Xi pretended to look away unintentionally.

"There's chaos outside, it's better to stay in the mountains."

Zhao Yeqing asked: "If you come back like this, does it matter to your unit?"

Mu Xi smiled and did not answer.

Zhao Yeqing did not ask any more questions, but instead said, "Can the quilt at your home still be used? Why don't you go back and take a look first? I have everything you need."

Mu Xi did not refuse. He went home and packed his things before coming back. Daily necessities were lacking. He had been stationed outside for many years and had nothing at home.

Toothbrushes, toothpaste, shower gel and other daily necessities were upstairs. Zhao Yeqing stood up and jumped up the stairs on one leg. Mu Xi picked her up and took her up the stairs in a few steps and put her on the bed.

"Tell me where the things are and I'll get them."

Zhao Yeqing admired his cheekiness very much, and he was still as familiar with him after not seeing him for so many years.

I even began to reflect on whether I was being too external.

After reflecting on himself, Zhao Yeqing also relaxed a little and leaned on the bedside to direct him to open the box and get something for himself.

Mu Xi curled his lips and finished taking the things, helped her into the bathroom to wash up, then closed the door and went downstairs.

When Zhao Yeqing heard him going out, he got off the bed again, jumped to the side of the window with one leg, and looked down through the gap in the curtains.

Mu Xi made a square shelf with wooden sticks in the yard, with many horizontal bars in the middle.

A fire was lit below, and after it was burned, some fresh branches were placed. The branches with moisture in them were burned by the fire, and thick smoke came out, which smoked and roasted the wild boar meat placed above.

Zhao Yeqing watched the smoke float upwards, from thick to light, and finally dissipated in the air, Mu Xi's words rang in his mind.

'Officials have introduced many temporary policies and laws, with heavy penalties, in order to warn those who are restless. '

She lay on the bed and closed her eyes.

The saddest thing about the law is that

It shows that human morality can no longer stop the evil of human nature.
