There is a Wangfu wife at home

Chapter 416
Not only is the backyard not spacious, but it is also troublesome to transport it back.

Li Jiaoniang smiled and said, "That's a good idea. I haven't seen a pig slaughtered for many years, so let's kill it here?" After she finished speaking, she glanced at the empty house again and blinked mischievously.

Luo Cheng understood her thoughts.
He smiled knowingly, what a naughty girl.

When it was said that the New Year pig was going to be killed, everyone became happy.

Hu Laoqi said, "I'll find someone to help boil the water."

The middle-aged man said, "I still have a butcher's knife at home, I'll find it and sharpen it."

"Go quickly." His wife urged him, "Find a bigger pot to hold the hot water to scald the pig. The old Qi's pot is not big enough to hold a whole pig."

"Got it." The middle-aged man smiled and went home.

"Old Qi, I have nothing to do right now, shall I light the fire?" The middle-aged woman said with a smile.

Hu Laoqi was of course happy when someone helped, "Success, sister-in-law of the Liu family."

So, everyone was busy at Hu Laoqi's house.

Liu's sister-in-law brought her son into Hu Laoqi's kitchen and got busy.

Seeing Hu Laoqi's messy kitchen, she laughed and cursed, "Is this a kitchen? It's like a beggar's house."

Hu Laoqi scratched his head in embarrassment, "I am the only one who has trouble with the fire monster, so I don't take care of it."

"How long has it been since there was a fire?" Liu's sister-in-law asked with a smile.

"Last time when the fire was lit, was it during the Hungry Ghost Festival?" Hu Laoqi thought for a while and said, "Or the Mid-Autumn Festival? I can't remember."

"It's been three or four months, no wonder it's so messy." Liu's sister-in-law laughed.

Hu Laoqi chuckled, "I'll fetch water."

Luo Cheng came to see that they were busy, and Hu Laoqi pushed him away, "Official Luo, just sit and rest, I, Hu Laoqi, will help you with the killing of pigs." He said nothing to let Luo Cheng and Li Jiao Mother approached the kitchen, "It's weird inside, and the room is small."

Luo Cheng didn't force it, and stood outside, watching them busy with Li Jiaoniang.

The man from the Liu family fetched the big basin and called his son to fetch water to wash it.

He moved the whetstone to sharpen the knife.

The fifth son ran in and out, helping to carry water and pass things.

Luo Cheng and Li Jiaoniang couldn't intervene at all.

After the water was boiled, the big Hu Laoqi poured the boiled water into the big basin, and the men from the Liu family tied up the pig's four feet.

If you don't tie it up, the pig's strength may not be able to withstand it.

When the pig was tied up, it immediately started screaming.

All the nearby villagers came to watch.

"Hu Lao Qi, ah, is your family rich? Did you buy a pig?" A villager asked with a smile.

Hu Laoqi picked up the butcher's knife in his hand, gestured at the pig's neck, and said with a smile, "Where is this, this official bought this pig, and I will help butcher the pig."

The children living nearby heard that Mr. Hu's family was going to slaughter a pig, so they all came to watch the fun.

The courtyard of Hu Laoqi's house was bustling with activity.

Li Jiaoniang pinched the ears of the little gray hairy ball, "Go, knock open the window of that house, the window is closed too tightly, the people inside can't see the slaughtering pig outside."

The gray furball jumped up and rushed to the westernmost empty house.

The windows of empty rooms are only covered with a thin layer of window paper.

It is old and dilapidated, with many small holes.

The gray fur ball stretched out its paws and scratched the window paper lightly, and it jumped into the room lightly and nimbly.

Li Peiyu recognized it, and shouted in a trembling voice, "You, you, you, don't come here."

The gray curly ball squeaked, "I won't go there."

Mu Xuan narrowed his eyes and stared at it with a look of vigilance.

The gray curly ball squatted in front of the two, and the black grape eyeballs looked at them for a moment, "Two stupid humans." It bared its teeth.

"Can you untie the rope? Huh?" Mu Xuan twisted his back and showed the gray-haired ball the rope that bound his wrist.

He found that this little beast was very intelligent and could understand human language.

The gray-haired curly ball bared its teeth, "You are not my master."

Mu Xuan couldn't understand its language, so he asked again.

But at this moment, the pig outside suddenly screamed.

Mu Xuan and Li Peiyu looked out the window together, and saw a bloody hole in the neck of the fat white pig with a sharp knife.

Probably the wound was not pierced, or the piercing was not deep enough, the pig did not die, and screamed again and again.

"Hu Laoqi, you haven't eaten breakfast? Why are your hands so weak?"

"I haven't practiced for a long time, is my hand raw?"

Li Peiyu had never seen such a battle before, her face turned pale with fright, and her whole body trembled.

Mu Xuan's complexion also changed drastically immediately.

The gray curly ball bared its teeth, "Coward."

The two people in the room were trembling with fright, but outside, there was joy.

Pig slaughtering in the countryside is a happy thing, which heralds the coming of the New Year.

Liu's sister-in-law put a basin under the pig's neck and urged with a smile, "Hurry up!"

"I can't eat hot pig's blood in a hurry, why are you so anxious, sister-in-law Liu?"

Hu Laoqi raised his knife again, and the screaming white fat pig completely stopped moving.

"Oh oh oh, the pigs don't meow, the pigs don't meow!" the kids clapped their hands and cheered.

Li Jiaoniang wanted to squeeze forward to watch the pig slaughter, but was pushed aside by Luo Cheng, "When the blood splashes on the clothes and gets dirty, just watch it, there is no need for your help."

He took off his cloak and put it in Li Jiaoniang's hands, "Here, I'll help."

"Officer Luo, I don't need your help, we can handle it." Hu Laoqi said with a smile.

Neither of them could help, so they had to stand and watch everyone busy.

The gray hairy ball jumped out of the room, jumped in front of Li Jiaoniang and groaned, Li Jiaoniang looked in the direction of the empty room.

In the room, Li Peiyu became nervous, hoping that Li Jiaoniang would find her, but also afraid that other people would come.

Those people killed pigs just now, will they kill her next?
"Brother Luo Cheng, the people in the room are scared." Li Jiaoniang blinked at Luo Cheng and whispered, "The time is almost here."

"Go and have a look." Luo Cheng's eyes flickered, and he walked towards the empty room.

Li Jiaoniang followed behind him.

Hu Laoqi pretended to have just noticed they left, and said loudly on purpose, "Miss Li, officer Luo, there is nothing there, it is an empty room!"

"Oh, let's just take a look around. You guys are busy, call us after the pig is killed." Luo Cheng waved his hand at them.

"Don't go too far, Officer Luo."

"got it."

Hu Laoqi rolled up his sleeves and urged Liu's sister-in-law to take the pig's blood, "Take it better, Officer Luo paid for it, and if things go wrong, Officer Luo will be blamed."

"I know."

Luo Cheng and Li Jiaoniang walked to the door of the empty room. Li Jiaoniang pinched the little ears of the gray curly ball in her arms and asked in a low voice, "Little thing, is there anything weird in this room?"

"Squeak squeak..."

"It seems to say there is." Luo Cheng glanced at the window and said.

Li Jiaoniang turned her head to look at Hu Laoqi, and whispered, "Those villagers are busy and didn't pay attention to this place, let's go in and have a look."

"Okay." Luo Cheng said.

Li Jiaoniang pretended to be on guard, and Luo Cheng went to push the door.

There was no lock on the door, it was just bolted back.

He took down the wooden bolt that was on the door and pushed the door open.

"You...why are you here?" Luo Cheng asked suspiciously.

Li Jiaoniang walked over, "Who is it? Who's inside?"

"It's someone we know, Jiao Niang." Luo Cheng sneered.

"Oh? Someone I know? Who is it?" Li Jiaoniang squeezed over to look, and the two people in the room also looked at them, "Why...is it you?"

"Li Jiaoniang, did you ask those people to kidnap Brother Mu and me?" Li Peiyu gritted her teeth and scolded, "Let us go! Otherwise, I won't be able to spare you!"

"If you speak louder and attract those people, I will not be able to save you even if I try to save you." Luo Cheng sneered.

Li Jiaoniang tugged at Luo Cheng's sleeve, "Let's go, Brother Luo Cheng, I'm tired of talking to stupid people. Which of her eyes saw us kidnapping them together? The pigs over there are almost finished. We also gave the money, shall we go back to pickle the meat earlier?"

"Okay." Luo Cheng nodded, glanced at the two people in the room, turned and left.

Mu Xuan's eyes flickered slightly, and he called to them, "Wait a minute."

The two turned to look again.

Li Jiaoniang asked coldly, "What's the matter with you?"

"Why are you in this village? Why are you with those people?" He narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Jiaoniang.

"Of course I came to this village to kidnap you together." Li Jiaoniang sneered.

Li Peiyu was furious, "Well, Li Jiaoniang, you really belong to them."

"Li Peiyu, believe it or not, I will give you to a bachelor in the village right now?" Mu Xuan gritted his teeth.

Li Peiyu was so frightened that she didn't dare to speak anymore.

"After we came down from the mountain, we came to the village to buy breakfast. We heard that someone was going to sell pigs, and we just wanted to buy some meat for New Year's pork, so we came here. Why, we can't come? We came with them? " Luo Cheng said with a sneer.
