Chapter 283: Outrageous

[Hehe! Awesome! Zhang Yang really did run into a pig slaughtering!]

[By the way, isn't it illegal to slaughter pigs privately without inspection?]

[You don't understand! In many rural areas, you can slaughter your own pigs, as long as you don't sell them. If you sell them privately, it's still illegal!]

[That's correct. In my hometown, the village slaughters pigs every year for the New Year, and the whole village eats the pork together! I loved watching it when I was a kid!]

[Do you think Zhang Yang really knows how to slaughter a pig? Will we see Zhang Yang vs. Pigsy?!]

[Hehe!! How is that possible! Slaughtering a pig is a craft; it's not something you can just learn. It's all passed down from master to apprentice!]

[Zhang Yang was just bragging earlier. Slaughtering a pig isn't just about stabbing it! You have to kill it in one blow, otherwise, if the pig struggles and breaks free, the consequences are unpredictable, and it might even hurt people!]

[Damn!! Brother, you're so knowledgeable. Are you a pig butcher yourself?!]

[Ahem! That's right! I am the famous "Hu Hu Yidao" from our town! Countless pig souls have died under my blade, and all were killed in one blow, allowing the pigs to leave this world without pain!]

[Damn!! This is a real expert! I'll watch the livestream later for your commentary!]

[Hehe! My pleasure! My pleasure!!]

The ancestral hall is located in the middle of Hongxi Village, not too far from the Love Cabin.

The two walked for a few minutes and arrived at the open space in front of the ancestral hall.

Unlike before, when it was empty!

At this moment, the open space was filled with men, women, old, and young, probably two or three hundred people!

Basically, the whole village had come to join the fun, and the scene was extremely lively!

Seeing Zhang Yang and Bai Lu arrive.

Everyone enthusiastically came forward to greet them.

Especially the children, who happily surrounded them, calling them "big brother" and "big sister" non-stop!

Clearly, the snacks and local specialties they gave them yesterday had an effect!

After pacifying the group of children.

Bai Lu looked around and asked curiously.

"Hmm?!! Isn't this where they slaughter the pig? Where is the pig!"

Zhang Yang pointed to a wooden table not far away that was shimmering with an eerie light in the sun, and a large pot of boiling water.

"It should be here! I guess it hasn't started yet!"

"That's right! Xiao Yang has a sharp eye. This is the village's slaughtering platform. The pig is still being driven here from the pen!"

The person speaking was the village chief, whom they had met a few times.

As soon as the village chief finished speaking, shouts came from afar!

"The pig is coming!! Everyone move aside!!"

Suddenly, the crowd in the open space dispersed in an orderly fashion.

A large space was cleared, and the children hid far away.

The village chief explained: "People say pigs are stupid, but actually, they are very smart. Seeing so many people around, it definitely won't come in."

"Village chief, then why not just catch the pig at the pen and transport it over? Wouldn't that be much easier?"

At this moment, Bai Lu was like a curious baby, constantly asking strange questions.

The village chief didn't answer directly this time, but smiled and said: "You'll see in a moment!"

Seeing the village chief playing riddles, Bai Lu turned her gaze to Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang spread his hands and said: "I don't know either!"

"Ah?! Didn't you say you knew how to slaughter a pig?"

"Beauty, what I know is how to slaughter a pig—the act of killing it in one blow—not how to raise one!"

Bai Lu had no choice but to respond with disappointment, then fixed her beautiful eyes on the front.

This was the first time in her life she had seen such a scene!

However, Zhang Yang's words just now had stunned the village chief next to them!

Even in major villages nowadays, very few people know how to slaughter pigs.

Today's butcher was even invited from the next village.

A young man from the city knows this craft?!

The village chief couldn't help but ask: "Xiao Yang! You..."

Zhang Yang smiled modestly: "I just know a little bit! It's nothing much!"

The village chief opened his mouth wide, wanting to say something else.

At this moment, "oink, oink, oink" sounds came from afar!

Hearing the pig before seeing it!

A commotion broke out in the crowd!

Bai Lu also exclaimed: "Zhang Yang! Look! The pig is coming!"

"Oink, oink, oink..."

As the sound got closer, a behemoth appeared before everyone's eyes.

It was a sturdy, fat pig, its huge size almost comparable to a water buffalo!

It wobbled as it walked, the fat on its body shaking along with it.

It didn't look cute at all; instead, it looked a bit fierce!

At this very moment!

The livestream chat started scrolling!

[Damn!! Is this a pig or a cow? It's too big!!]

[Damn! It doesn't look like Pigsy, it looks more like Zhu Zhu Ganglie! A bit fierce!]

[Facing such a behemoth, the butcher dares to take action, that's awesome!]

[This fat pig is so big, does it count as a pig king? Is "Hu Hu Yidao" still there?]

[I'm here! I'm here! This pig looks like it's only five or six hundred pounds, it doesn't count as a pig king! Zhejiang Province once had a pig king weighing 2,200 pounds!]

[Damn!! I haven't read much, don't lie to me!! A 2,200-pound pig?! How do you slaughter something that big!]

[Slaughter?! Hehe! You're naive! That pig had long since converted to Buddhism, its dharma name was "Zhu Wang," listening to Zen and eating vegetarian food day and night. After it died, the temple even held a grand ritual for it!]

[Damn! Why does this sound more and more like fantasy? Is this real or fake?!]

[Damn!! This is outrageous! There are news reports online, it's actually true! This really is a winner in the pig world!]

[Looking at it this way! This pig is just so-so, far worse than the 2,000-pound pig king!]

[You're wrong again! Usually, pigs are sold at three or four hundred pounds. Pigs exceeding this range become irritable and have immense strength. Many butchers are afraid of this kind of pig!]

[I see, learned something new. Then "Hu Hu Yidao," are you afraid?!]

[Hehe! I am "Hu Hu Yidao." Although slaughtering this kind of pig is a bit tricky, it's still nothing to me! But if it were Zhang Yang, even ten of him might not be able to catch this pig!]

[Awesome!! As expected of a real expert!! Thanks for the debunking, expert!!]

The moment the fat pig appeared...

Bai Lu couldn't help but gasp: "Wow! This pig is too big!!"

Zhang Yang also nodded: "It looks like it's five or six hundred pounds. I finally know why they don't just catch it from the pen!"

Bai Lu looked at Zhang Yang curiously: "Hmm?! Why!"

Zhang Yang explained: "This is a five or six hundred pound behemoth! It would take several people to hold it down. If it struggles, accidents could happen, causing injuries!"

"Oh, I see! In that case, what method will they use to catch it later?"

After answering the previous question, the curious baby Bai Lu asked a new one.

Zhang Yang continued patiently: "Actually, no matter how big a pig is, it has a weakness. As long as you control it, everything becomes simple!"

"Ah!! What is that weakness?!"

Zhang Yang smiled mysteriously, then used his finger to gently scrape Bai Lu's nose bridge.

"That weakness is this!"

"Ah! I know, it's the pig's nose!!"

Bai Lu was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted!

"Zhang Yang! You bad guy, you actually said I have a pig nose!"

"I didn't, I wasn't, don't talk nonsense!"

Zhang Yang's classic triple denial appeared again!

The village chief saw all of this, and his heart was even more shocked!

This young man speaks with such authority, as if he really knows how to slaughter a pig!
