”Ai, alright. I'll clean up these things for you. Tomorrow morning, I'll make you some pig's tail soup.”
Yuan Ji was there using a wooden stick to dig at the pig's feet in the pit, while Yuan Tong was responsible for adding water and firewood to the pit.
Tian Yuqiao and Yutang, on the other hand, were helping to scrape the pig's feet while Lady Wang was cutting its flesh.
The smell of cooking elbows and roasting pig hair had already captivated the two black shadows outside. In their opinion, this was definitely the second room cooking delicious food at home. Last time, he had given two taels of silver to the second house.
”Seriously, this silver was given to that little bald donkey. Unexpectedly, Second Aunt used it to buy so much meat for him.”
”That's right. Second Aunt is truly too excessive to actually covet money from her family.”
The two of them were chattering outside, but their noses were constantly moving up and down.
Erlang Shen found some rocks from nearby and piled them together. He leaned against the wall in the corner. Stepping on the stones, he began to climb up the wall. However, the moment his hand touched the wall, he felt as if his hand was pressing against the edge of a knife.
”Aiyo ~”
After a blood-curdling screech, Tian Yuqiao's family heard the sound of a heavy object landing outside their wall.
”Quick, second brother, let's run. We've been discovered by the people inside.” Saburo urged.
Without caring about the pain in his hand, Erlang Shen quickly wiped away his snot and left.
After née Wang opened the door, she saw two figures, one tall and the other short, running in the direction of the village entrance.
”Mom, I heard a familiar voice just now. It sounded like Second Brother's voice.” Tian Yutang frowned and said.
”That's right, Mother. I also heard the sound of someone sucking on their mucus.” It seems that no one in this village likes to eat their own snot. ” Yuan Tong also analyzed.
”But why has this Jiro come to our house? ”It's already the middle of the night. What is this child doing here, not sleeping at all?” Mrs. Wang said, puzzled.
Tian Yuqiao said, ”Isn't that simple? It must be because we have a new house on the side of the house. They want to know how we earn money, so they got Erlang Shen and the others to come and take a look.”
”Oh, how can they? ”I've just lost two taels of silver, why are you making a fuss now?” Mrs Wang became a little sentimental.
”Mom, this is called eating a hundred beans without any complaints.” It's precisely because the other side paid us back the money that Fourth Uncle's amount of silver for the next year's repair is not enough. ”I'm sure that you want people to find out how we earn money. Otherwise, with Erlang Shen's personality, he wouldn't have come to our house in the middle of the night without sleeping.”
After Tian Yuqiao finished, he carried a small lantern and left.
Indeed, at the base of the wall next to the gate, he saw a small pile of crushed stone with some dirt mixed in.
Looking up, on top of the broken tiles and porcelain shards on the wall, there was actually a streak of bright red blood. It seemed to be the blood that had just been left behind.
”Mom, the blood on the wall hasn't dried yet. I think Erlang Shen will be able to behave for a few days this time. It seems like his hand is quite injured.” Tian Yuqiao analyzed.
