"Hehe! When I came back, I saw this beast bullying two little white rabbits. How could I not intervene? I took care of it in a few moves! Little Nuan, can we have an extra meal today?"
"Deal with it first!"
Mi Shuangshuang patted her chest, found an empty spot, and put down the wild boar. Hai Changfeng helped bring a super large stainless steel basin.
Mi Shuangshuang slit the wild boar's throat with a knife, stood on a platform, hung the boar up, and let its blood flow into the basin.
They couldn't find a high enough and strong enough frame and rope for the moment.
Mi Shuangshuang decided to do it herself, which was faster and more convenient.
Lan Mi came over with salt, sprinkling it while slowly stirring. Soon, the pig's blood solidified.
Everyone put in a tremendous effort to scrape off the bristles.
The wild boar's hide was much thicker and sharper than a domestic pig's, and if one wasn't careful, they'd get pricked.
Fortunately, An Nuan had many people, and the girls from Ming Le also came to help. With many hands working, they managed to get most of the bristles off in two hours.
"Everyone, step aside. I'll handle the rest."
Hai Changfeng held a flamethrower and grilled the wild boar's skin.
The bristles were gone, and the savory aroma of the meat was released.
Everyone's stomachs rumbled with hunger.
Mi Shuangshuang's mouth watered.
"It smells so good, if only we had cumin and chili powder!"
"It's not cooked yet, do you want to eat raw pork?"
Hai Changfeng sharpened his pig-slaughtering knife, then nimbly cut open the boar's belly and removed the organs, placing them into several large basins.
Most people had never seen a pig slaughtered and found it quite interesting, watching with relish.
However, some couldn't stomach the sight of the eviscerated body and, after watching for a while, ran off to the side to vomit.
Fu Yunting, finding the smell unpleasant, returned to his room to sleep.
Hai Changfeng and Chen Wenjing teamed up to butcher the wild boar.
First, the head was cut off and set aside, followed by the trotters, the shoulder, and the front belly meat. After dividing the boar into several large sections, the entire tenderloin was removed from the backbone.
Hai Changfeng's face lit up with a proud smile.
"This boar is really well-bred, the meat is evenly tender, and it has great elasticity!"
"One boar can yield so much meat, it's amazing!"
"Wenjing, normally one eats one to two pounds of meat a day. This boar weighs over 700 pounds. Figure out how long it will last for all of us."
Chen Wenjing wasn't good at math and couldn't calculate it.
In short, it would last for many, many days!
Chang Kai Tong took the pig's intestines aside. Earlier, when it snowed, he had stored a lot of water as usual. Now that it had melted, it was perfect for washing these.
Hai Changfeng went over to Chang Kai Tong to wash his hands and was surprised to see him skillfully cleaning the pig's intestines.
"That's a lot, little brother!"
"I used to help a beef shop process these for money. Pig intestines are much easier to handle than cow intestines!"
"Here, let me help you! Let's stir-fry the kidneys tonight. Why do they only grow a pair of kidneys? Not enough for one meal for us."
Chang Kai Tong and Hai Changfeng laughed and chatted while cleaning the pig's internal organs.
Luo Luo felt like she was witnessing another sweet moment.
An Nuan went to check on Xiu Ao and the others. Their bodies were not seriously injured, but they were weak due to lack of water and food.
As long as they rested well for a few days and Hai Changfeng added some blue, they should be fine.
An Nuan, as usual, distributed bedding, medical supplies, and clothes, shoes, and daily necessities to them. She gave them some rice, flour, oil, and seasonings, and asked Chen Wenjing to give them some of the freshly prepared meat.
"You all rest for five days. After that, like Ming Le's team, you will have training and assessments. If you fail, I will have to ask you to leave."
"Boss, don't worry, we definitely won't be a burden. We will satisfy you!"
Their eyes gleamed, and they nodded earnestly.
The companions who had experienced imprisonment and abuse had a distinct aura and sense of unity.
An Nuan felt they were fiercer than Ming Le's team.
After handling these miscellaneous matters, An Nuan returned to the villa intending to rest. As soon as she entered, she saw Fu Yunting sleeping soundly on the sofa.
There was no one else in the living room. An Nuan tiptoed over.
Xiao Yu emerged from Fu Yunting's pocket and tilted its head at her.
"Shh!"
An Nuan took out a colored marker and gestured to Xiao Yu.
It flicked its tongue and quickly burrowed back into the pocket.
Good snake!
An Nuan slowly leaned closer. Fu Yunting's breathing was even; he seemed to be sleeping soundly.
Up close, An Nuan realized how good his skin was.
It was fair and tender, without a single blemish or pore, and without the black nose that most men had.
Except for being a little pale, it was flawless.
His eyelashes were also long and slightly curled.
An Nuan couldn't resist touching his eyelashes.
"They're so curly, mascara must look great on you."
"If you want to see me wear mascara, I can sacrifice myself and put it on for you!"
Fu Yunting suddenly opened his eyes, wrapped his arm around An Nuan's waist, and gently pulled her into his embrace.
An Nuan, startled, braced herself with both hands on the edge of the sofa, her cheeks instantly flushing a fiery red.
Fu Yunting's starry eyes drifted to the view before him. He slightly adjusted his position, moving his head back.
Just two centimeters more, and her chest would be against his face.
An Nuan also felt Fu Yunting's breath on her chest. Her whole body felt hot, and she wanted to stand up from the sofa.
In her haste, she misjudged the force and angle. Her momentum collided with Fu Yunting's, and she ended up falling onto him.
Xiao Yu emerged from his pocket again and smiled sweetly at An Nuan.
That's right, a little black jade snake smiled sweetly.
Not only maternal but also very gossipy!
"Little Nuan, while I love having you lying on me, I'm getting a bit hot."
Fu Yunting became restless.
It was unbearable to look but not to touch.
An Nuan got up from him, her face red. The marker slipped to the floor.
Fu Yunting reached down and picked it up: "What's this for?"
"Um... I said your white shirt looked a bit plain, and I wanted to draw something. Do you believe me?"
Little liar!
Fu Yunting stroked her head and smiled: "I believe you. I believe whatever you say."
"You..." Are you silly!
An Nuan sat beside him, her mind blank, like a child caught doing something wrong, not daring to meet Fu Yunting's gaze, and let him stroke her hair.
The atmosphere suddenly felt a bit strange.
"Hiss~"
Xiao Yu, holding something in its mouth, nudged An Nuan's palm and spat out a rose-colored crystal.
The moment An Nuan touched it, she felt uncomfortable all over and a wave of irritation washed over her.
"Where did this come from?"
"After An Tian Xin died, Xiao Yu took it from her. Some ability users also have crystals in their brains, but they are slightly different from those of zombies."
The crystals in zombies' brains were rhomboid, while those from ability users were oval.
Although the shapes were different, they were both crystals, and their abilities were similar.
An Nuan pouted. No wonder she felt disgusted. It seemed the crystals were like their owners; they were all the same!
