“Didn’t I tell you not to come looking for me?”
Qin Niu, however, couldn’t bear to reprimand her.
“I was worried I’d make you angry, so I didn’t go up the mountain this time. But when it got so late and you still hadn’t returned home, I just couldn’t help but worry. I couldn’t sit still at home, so I brought an oil lamp and waited for you at the foot of the mountain.”
Her response struck a particularly tender spot in the depths of Qin Niu’s heart.
“Can you carry this little calf on your back?”
“I’ll try!”
Xiao Qing’s small frame possessed more strength than that of a full-grown, sturdy man.
With Cultivation Technique that could reach the peak of the human Twofold realm, even as a child, she could take on ten strong men as if she were playing.
She could easily lift a person and throw them flying.
At the human Twofold realm one could lift up to two hundred kilograms with bare hands.
An adult, strong man, particularly tall and robust, might weigh around one hundred and seventy to eighty kilograms.
Xiao Qing carried the little water buffalo on her back, not seeming particularly strained.
Qin Niu dragged two large wild boars back home, and along the way, the villagers looked on with envy.
Since the pigskin from last time wasn’t worth much, Qin Niu this time only planned to skin the skin of the boar king. The other large wild boar would be scalded to remove its hair, and then its meat would be consumed.
In the courtyard, he skillfully scalded off the boar’s hair, then opened the carcass.
Xiao Qing was overjoyed seeing the two big wild boars her master had brought back.
The little water buffalo had been tossed into the cowshed, where it slept soundly, not moving an inch.
The little turtle took more than a month to evolve.
It’s unimown how long it would take for the water buffalo to evolve.
Anyway, there was no rush.
Qin Niu didn’t expect this lazy creature to do any work anyway.
“Master, with so much pork, we can eat for a month or two,”
“Isn’t that great? You’re at the age where you need to grow, so you should eat more.”
While carefully skinning the boar king, Qin Niu laughed without looking up and said to Xiao Qing.
“It’s truly a blessing to be with master! Every day I have meat to eat and a new house to live in.”
“Haha, think this is bliss? The good days are still to come!”
He skilfully peeled the boar king’s skin little by little.
It felt much thicker than that of a regular wild boar, and the texture was different as well.
It felt somewhat heavy in hand.
It looked extraordinarily dense and sturdy.
“Xiao Qing, spread out this pigskin, smooth it out, and nail it onto those two door planks.”
“It’s so big! It could make a large quilt.”
She took it and ccommented in amazement at the size of the boar king’s skin.
“Making it into a quilt would be a waste, I’ll give you a little surprise in a couple of days.”
Qin Niu planned to go to the city in a few days, sell some bugs, get some money, and then turn the skin of the boar king into armor.
Leather armor not only keeps one warm but can also save a life at critical moments.
This boar king’s skin had a defensive strength even stronger than ordinary iron armor, making it a rare and invaluable treasure.
After skinning the boar, he proceeded to open up the carcass.
