Chapter 97: Long'er Captures the Pig

  It was said that the person who would be killing the pig for the family gathering was Hu Niang. Tang Xiao Sheng's heart felt a bit apprehensive. Because back in high school, Hu Niang had actively pursued him, even giving him a love note, but he had politely rejected her. Ever since then, whenever Hu Niang saw Tang Xiao Sheng, she would deliberately avoid him, as if feeling embarrassed.

  Although it's already been six or seven years, at that time they were just naive kids, but after all, it was something that really happened in the past. Now that the two of them have met again, who knows if the atmosphere is still as awkward as before.

  Another person who is as anxious as him is Little Dragon Girl. In these two days, she also heard a bit about Hu Ya's affairs and knew that Hu Ya was particularly virtuous. Tang's mother had even thought of letting Tang Xiao Sheng marry Hu Ya, so Hu Ya could be considered her half love rival.

  Although Tang's mother has agreed to the relationship between Little Dragon Girl and Tang Xiaosheng, when she heard that Hu Yanni was coming home, Little Dragon Girl still felt an inexplicable pressure.

  But what's coming will always come, and can't be stopped.

  At more than one o'clock in the morning of the Lunar New Year's Eve, Tang Xiaosheng got up early because the time for killing pigs was at two o'clock. As soon as he got out of bed, he saw Hu Diao, who was grinding a knife to kill pigs in the yard.

  It's been two years since I last saw Hu Niang, and she has grown a lot taller and stronger than before. Although it may not be entirely suitable to describe a girl as "strong", it is particularly fitting for Hu Niang, because she really is strong. Especially after starting to slaughter pigs this year, her arms are thicker than those of most men.

  Originally, today was supposed to be the day when Hu Niang and her father would slaughter pigs together, but since it's Chinese New Year's Eve, there were too many households in the village that needed help with slaughtering pigs, so Hu Niang's father was a bit overwhelmed. In the end, he had no choice but to let Hu Niang do it herself.

  Tang's mother didn't think there was anything wrong with this, because in her heart, Hu Duan had always been a very capable daughter.

  At 2 am, Huzi put on the rope and killing knife to go to the pigpen, ready to start killing pigs. In Baiyang Village, before killing pigs, they need to tie up the front and hind legs of the pigs first, so that the pigs cannot escape, and then take out the knife.

  However, tying up a pig is not only physically demanding but also requires skill, and it's not easy to do. Since Tiger's father didn't come, Tang Xiaosheng and Tang Father had no choice but to help Tiger. The three of them held the ropes and entered the pigpen together, preparing to put a rope around the pig.

  Although the pig was a pig, it did not surrender easily. Faced with the attack of three people, it resisted extremely fiercely. This pig had been raised for a whole year and grew fat and strong, weighing at least 200 kilograms. Tang Xiaosheng and the other two men struggled for a while but failed to subdue it.

  Seeing this situation, Hu Diao rolled up her sleeves, suddenly became fierce, and rushed towards the pig. She grabbed the pig's two front hooves with one hand, pressed down with force, ready to press the pig to the ground. Hu Diao learned this move from her father, who had successfully subdued countless pigs with it.

  It turned out that Tang Xiaosheng's pig was not ordinary, with incredible strength. Suddenly, its stout body shook and instantly knocked Hu Niang to the ground.

  Tang Xiaosheng and Tang Fu were just about to go forward to help, when the pig suddenly rushed towards the fence of the pen at high speed, with a loud crash, it actually knocked over the fence, broke out of the pen, escaped, and then ran away at full speed. In a moment, there was no sign of the pig.

  Everyone was stunned when they saw this, and did not expect the pig to be so fierce. Tang Xiaosheng, Tang Fu, and Hu Niang immediately chased after it.

  The person most anxious about the pig running away is Tang's mother. This pig has been raised for a year, specifically for the New Year's preparations. In rural areas, many people are somewhat superstitious, and Tang's mother is a typical example. In her opinion, this pig represents the good fortune of the family in the coming year. Now that the pig has run away, it's as if the good fortune of the next year has also run away, so she is naturally extremely anxious.

  Seeing Tang's mother looking anxious, Little Dragon Girl went forward to comfort her: "Auntie, don't worry, I believe Uncle and Hu Yanyan will find the pig."

  Tang's mother shook her head and said worriedly: "This pig ran away in an instant, how easy is it to catch it at midnight?"

  Xiao Long Nu thought carefully and felt that her worries were not unreasonable. This pig was strong and powerful, and Tang Xiao Sheng, Hu Ya, and Tang Fu had been unable to subdue it in the pen. Now that it had escaped from the pen, catching it would be no easy task.

  Thinking of this, Little Dragon Girl felt that she had to take action herself.

  Although the pig ran fast, it was definitely not as agile as Xiaolongnv's qinggong. She decided to use her qinggong to catch the pig back.

  The little dragon girl quickly left the pigpen and came to a white poplar tree in the village. This white poplar tree was tall and straight, at least twenty meters high.

  She suddenly moved her foot, and with a whooshing sound, she sprang into the air, then rapidly climbed up along the trunk of the poplar tree. In the blink of an eye, she reached the very top of the white poplar tree. She climbed so high just to find a high place to first look for the pig's whereabouts.

  The little dragon girl stood on the willow tree, gazing around in all directions. After a moment, she discovered the pig's trail, and it was actually in a vegetable field about two hundred meters away.

  Whoosh!

  Without hesitation, Little Dragon Maiden jumped down from the tree trunk and then displayed the Qinggong of the Ancient Tomb Sect, transforming into a white shadow that flashed towards the field like lightning!

  Before she knew it, she arrived at her destination and landed steadily in front of the pig. The pig saw someone coming and immediately turned around, kicked its legs and ran away with incredible speed.

  However, no matter how fast the pig ran, it couldn't match Little Dragon Girl's qinggong. Suddenly, she flashed forward and in a split second, she appeared behind the pig. With a wave of her right hand, her jade fingers flew out, employing the "Nine Yin Manual"'s Dim Mak technique to strike two points on the pig's back.

  Ahh!

  The pig let out a loud squeal, stumbled and fell to the ground, rolling around several times before it was unable to get up again. Because Xiaolongnv had already used her acupuncture skills to temporarily disable its mobility.

  After pinning the pig to the ground, Little Dragon Girl immediately took out her mobile phone from her bosom and dialed a call to Tang Xiaosheng.

  After a while, Tang Xiaosheng and several others rushed over with ropes. Tang's father and Hu Niang were shocked to learn that the pig was actually subdued by Little Dragon Girl, and it was hard for them to imagine how she did it.

  Then, Hu Niang tied up the pig's front and back legs, and together with Tang Xiaosheng, they carried the pig back home.

  When they arrived home, Tang's mother saw that the pig had been found so quickly and was very surprised. A look of delight immediately appeared on her face, and she praised Hu Niang: "Hu Niang, you really are capable, this pig ran away but you were able to catch it."

  Hudie shook her head and said with some embarrassment: "Aunt Tang, this pig wasn't caught by me, but by your daughter-in-law."

  "Is it Little Snow?" Tang's mother was taken aback, feeling quite surprised. Although she had always thought that Little Dragon Girl was capable and diligent, she still hadn't expected her to be so capable and diligent that she could even catch a pig.

  Before, Tang's mother felt that it was a pity that Tang Xiaosheng didn't marry Hu Niangzi. After this incident, her mind completely changed because Xiao Xue helped her regain a whole year of good fortune.
