Shenhao with a learning panel

In the early morning, in the yard on the west hill of Dongjiezhuang Village, Laishan District, mist evaporates from the hot water boiling in the big pot on the firewood stove.

Lao Dou looked at the time, called his son Xiao Dou on his mobile phone, and asked, "Where is he?"

"Okay, okay, then I'll wait."

He listened to the phone and answered several times. After hanging up, he went to the pig pen to take another look.

Old Dou's name is Dou Yuanshan. He is fifty-six years old and is a famous pig butcher in the nearby villages of Shiliba. Anyone who wants to kill pigs will usually ask him. However, there are fewer people raising pigs in rural areas nowadays, and it’s not yet the New Year, so sometimes it takes several days before he gets the chance to show off his pig-killing skills.

I haven't had surgery in the past week. Last night my son, who works in a big company in the city, suddenly called me and said that the big boss of his company wanted to pay a high price to buy the six pigs he raised, and he also wanted to learn the art of killing pigs from him.

The six pigs he raised were to be killed during the Chinese New Year, but for the sake of his son, he agreed without much hesitation. He also said that he didn't want to pay a high price, and just wanted to leave a favor for his son in front of the company's big boss.

So after he got up early in the morning, he and his wife were making preparations.

About ten minutes later, two cars came to the village. The first one was Xiao Dou's black Volkswagen, followed by another black car, but it was a very impressive-looking Mercedes-Benz.

The old man didn't recognize the car, but he knew at a glance that the people in the car behind must be distinguished guests brought by his son.

Soon, two people got out of the car at the back, a tall and strong man, just like the car, dressed very stylishly. The other young man looked quite handsome, but he looked young and looked like a child who was still studying. Lao Dou guessed that he might be a relative brought by his son's boss to watch the fun.

Ten minutes later, when Old Dou found out that it was this young man with tender skin and tender meat who was learning how to butcher pigs with him today, the old man was stunned.

"Um...boss, killing pigs is a strenuous job. If you don't have the strength, you can easily hurt yourself."

Lao Dou said this and winked at his son, Xiao Dou.

Li Shi next to him didn't say anything. He walked to the big stone millstone placed in the yard, picked up the millstone with both hands, and tried the weight. It felt like it was only about 120 kilograms. The hands he held subconsciously felt like he used to do it. The action was thrown like that.

Several people around looked a little dumbfounded, especially the Dou family father and son who knew the weight of the millstone. Their mouths were open for a long time without closing.

Wang Ming waited for Li Shi to put down the millstone, and then immediately went over and tried to hug him.

He was a strong man over 1.9 meters tall and had practiced martial arts. He had heard his uncle say that Li Shi was a master before, but he didn't care yet. After holding the millstone, the look in his eyes when he looked at Li Shi immediately changed. .

"Master Dou, how about it? Even though I'm not very strong, I'm quite strong, so feel free to teach me."

Old Man Dou nodded in surprise and said with a smile: "Okay, my stone mill weighs at least a hundred pounds. Boss, you are strong enough to kill an ox."

When Li Shi heard about killing the cow, his eyes lit up slightly and he became a little interested, but after thinking about it, he decided not to do it.

At his current state, killing at the sight of blood, cultivating the ruthlessness in his heart, cultivating his murderous aura, etc. are all secondary, what is more important is "practice".

Later, I'll learn from one pig and then kill five of them myself. That's enough.

After preparing the pig killing case, another group of people came to the village to watch the fun. Everything was ready. Li Shi and others followed Old Man Dou and came to the pig pen.

Old Man Dou looked ordinary, but he was actually a ruthless man who had been butchering pigs for many years. He held a big iron hook, made steady and firm moves, hooked the pig's mouth, and dragged him in front. Little Dou cooperated with his father from behind. , grabbed the pig's tail and hind legs, and together they dragged the big fat pig into the yard.

A minute later, the sharp butcher knife in Lao Dou's hand directly poked a hole in the pig's neck.

Li Shi listened to the pig's sharp neighing, watched the blood spurt out at close range, smelled the pungent smell of blood, and felt his soul was strongly impacted.

Soon, the life of a fat pig disappeared.

Next, Lao Dou left the pig hair blanching and cutting of the pork to his son Xiao Dou, while he took out a cigarette, lit it, and then looked at Li Shi, waiting for the boss's instructions - he could tell Well, that imposing and strong man is the listener, while this gentle and handsome guy is the talker.

Li Shi digested it for two minutes, then came over and asked: "Master Dou, what is the significance of this bleeding position? Please tell me."

Five minutes later, start killing the second pig.

Master Dou originally held the big iron hook and wanted to pull the pig out, and then asked Li Shi to do it.

Not wanting Li Shi to be "eager to learn", he took the hook from his hand and walked directly in first, and then everything seemed to become easier - catching and pulling pigs before was actually very time-consuming and laborious, because the pigs The resistance was fierce.

But after Li Shi took the lead in killing the pig, the pig seemed to become "behaved".

I saw Li Shi entering the pig pen, imitating the old man Dou, he quickly took action, hooked the pig's mouth firmly with the iron hook, pulled it with his right hand, and dragged the pig's head with his left hand. Although the pig also neighed, his behavior was different. But he was very "obedient" and quickly came out of the circle according to his movements.

Old Man Dou, who was grabbing the leg from behind, even had to jog to keep up with the speed at which the pig was dying.

When he arrived at the yard, Li Shi picked up the butcher's knife and aimed at the pig's throat...

This time, he finally hesitated.

However, after only hesitating for three or four seconds, he felt fierce and stabbed directly in with the knife.

Seeing the blood spurting out from the blade he was holding, Li Shi felt more complicated than before.

After the first time, the second time, the third time...it will become smoother after that.

After the six pigs were finally killed, Old Man Dou couldn't help but ask Li Shi: "Boss, have you ever done this job before?"

Li Shi smiled and shook his head: "No, this is my first time, but I am a quick learner."

Next, thinking that this was a rare opportunity, he deliberately learned how to cut pork from Old Han Dou.

The butcher's knife was in Li Shi's hand and he cut the meat smoothly.

After eating a meal of pig meat and sending Li Shi and others away, Old Man Dou specially called his son into an empty room and warned: "Today's handsome boss, you must not offend him. Remember Living!"

Xiao Dou was very confused: "Dad, why did you suddenly say this? He is a friend of our big boss. It's too late for me to flatter him, so how could I offend him?"

……

On the way back to the city, Li Shi closed his eyes and recalled today's experience of killing pigs.

The experience of killing pigs is actually very strong.

In the past, the pigs would scream and struggle heart-rendingly, but in the end they were bled out, silenced, and then divided...

After killing five pigs in a row, Li Shi felt that his heart was indeed "hardened" to a certain extent.

Close your eyes, and you can still "see" the blood shooting out, dyeing the entire "field of vision" red.

It has a bit of stamina.

But...it is indeed a pig raised at home, and the aroma of the pig meat is quite memorable.

When he was approaching the hotel, Li Shi transferred the money for six pigs and a Hansu sword to Wang Ming. After the six pigs are divided, Xiao Dou will transport them to their company's canteen. As the boss Wang Jianmu's wish, he will give the employees free extra meals. However, Li Shi also made it clear to Wang Jianmu that he has already helped a lot. , you have to take care of the expenses yourself.

In the afternoon, Li Shi went to the local car rental agency to rent a gray Wuling van.

This kind of car is inconspicuous when driven in rural areas. It is convenient to drive out whether it is during the day or at night.

The Han Sujian Wang Ming bought was left in the car and was not taken to the hotel.

The external preparations are gradually in place.

The things that need to be prepared internally are intangible and need to be brewed slowly.

Li Shi came to Tianma Zhanqiao Square in the evening and watched the sunset on the viewing platform.

The moment the entire colorful sea surface was reflected in orange, the heaven and earth seemed to have become scenes from a mythical world. He sat on the ground and looked at it dreamily. Then he called up the study panel and "looked" at the nebula in the background of the panel for a long time. Scenes of annihilation.

After that, I walked around casually and passed by a beach. I saw a girl wearing a white sleeveless suspender belt and jeans with her back to the sunset and her hands raised to take pictures. She had a pretty good figure. The key is that she smiled very happily on her face, even a little "laughing" The feeling of "I'm crazy" is quite contagious.

Li Shi watched silently for a while. In addition to looking at the girl, he also looked at the beautiful scenery including her, the beach, the waves, and the sunset.

He suddenly had the urge to buy a house here.

I have to say that after traveling to so many places, I have been to many coastal cities, but so far, Yancheng is my favorite.

In the streets and alleys, you can see beautiful beauties everywhere. The key point is that the beautiful scenery here is really faintly fairy-like. It is indeed the place where the legends of the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea and Penglai, Fangzhang, Yingzhou and other three immortal mountains are spread.

When he returned to the hotel in the evening, Li Shi checked the local house prices in Yancheng.

"Hey, the average price of second-hand houses is only about eight or nine thousand, which is lower than Tanzhou."

Although Tanzhou is a provincial capital, its housing prices have always been well controlled. In the cities where Li Shi went, housing prices were basically higher than those in Tanzhou, and few were lower.

"Even if the area is larger, the total price will not exceed 10 to 20 million... If this creation goes well, I will just buy a beautiful sea-view house on the spot to celebrate!"

The next morning, before dawn, Li Shi woke up at around four o'clock, came out of the room, went downstairs to the parking lot, drove Wuling Rongguang, and headed to Kunyu Mountain National Forest Park.

Kunyu Mountain National Forest Park is located at the eastern end of the Jiangdong Peninsula. It covers an area of ​​hundreds of miles, with rolling peaks, deep forests and secluded valleys, towering ancient trees, many clear springs, waterfalls and cultural relics. It is also the birthplace of the Quanzhen Sect and is known as "the fairy mountain on the sea." "ancestor" reputation.

However, Li Shi's trip this time was not to visit the scenic spots and historical sites, nor to visit immortals. He had only one purpose, to use the cover of the forest wilderness to "make a contribution" unscrupulously.

Cao Cao had millions of troops, so he was naturally bold and courageous. He used "Guan Cang Hai" to express his ambition to swallow mountains and rivers, but no one thought he was boasting.

Li Shi is alone.

The money he spent to hire a few employees to set up a studio was nothing compared to Cao Cao's millions of soldiers.

But his physical attribute points are 34.9, far exceeding the limit of 15 points for ordinary people.

Nowadays, practicing martial arts and sword practice has made some gains in strength. In terms of personal force, it is unparalleled in ancient times!

It took him an hour to drive to the scenic spot, and he waited for an hour while playing with his mobile phone in the car. After 7:30, he bought a ticket and entered the scenic spot. He didn't take the Han sword in the car or even carry a bag, and headed for the mountain. Walk freely into the depths, and dig in wherever there is desolation.

He is very fast.

Half an hour later, we came to a primitive valley that was not on the scenic map.

After observing the surrounding terrain for a while, Li Shi felt that it was good. There were dense trees, boulders, and bushes around, so it was quite hidden.

He took off his coat and started playing freely in the valley.

He was as tall as a man and could hold less than half of the huge boulder with his arms. He lifted it up and played with it like throwing a big balloon, and then with some luck, he smashed it into pieces.

Then he ran freely, scurrying here and there, slapping and kicking, and loud noises came from the valley from time to time.

After playing for seven or eight minutes, Li Shi stopped.

I patted the dust on my body and prepared to leave. I walked to the mouth of the valley, looked back, and then scratched the back of my head a little embarrassed - the valley that was fine before would become a mess, as if it was occupied by some prehistoric monster. Wreaked it all over again.

"I know strength and can use weapons. If I let go, the destructive power will be even more terrifying than the Tyrannosaurus Rex, hehe."

On the way back, Li Shi was thinking, if it had been the Three Kingdoms period, even if he didn't have to "exchange material magical powers", could he have killed Cao Cao, who actually had hundreds of thousands of troops, with his current martial arts alone?

"If he had fifty troops to protect him, I would definitely not be able to kill him."

"But everyone has courage, and an army has courage. If I use supreme force to break its courage, it will naturally collapse in the back."

"And there are hundreds of thousands of troops. In reality, it is impossible to mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops to protect him. Usually, Cao Cao is surrounded by personal guards at most, a few hundred people, or more than a thousand, then... "

Li Shi kicked the stones on the roadside, stopped and smiled.

Let yourself go, speed, strength, use of force, use of weapons... In the cold weapon era of the Three Kingdoms, killing people must be easier than killing chickens. After all, chickens can fly, but people can't.

"Wear full armor, let go of your speed, and rush all the way to Cao Cao. Killing him is easier than killing the pig yesterday."

A slight smile appeared on Li Shi's lips.

The beauty of personal greatness lies in being down-to-earth and true, and more importantly, in doing whatever you want.

"This is more enjoyable than being in a high position with external power like Cao Cao!"

Returning to the scenic area map, Li Shi calmed down and started visiting like a normal person.

Come here, let’s take a look at the attractions.

The key points to see are Yanxia Cave and Yuegu Hall.

Yanxia Cave is located in the northwest corner of Kunyu Mountain and is naturally formed by a sudden rock. The cave is oval in shape, with three characters "Yanxia Cave" engraved on the cave wall, and the statues of "Seven Immortals" are enshrined inside.

Yuegu Hall is Magu Hall. Legend has it that this was once the place where Magu practiced.

Li Shi didn't know much about Magu. He only remembered her as a goddess in Ge Hong's "The Legend of Immortals". The book described her as being very beautiful and living for a long time. She had seen the sea turn into mulberry fields three times.

After the visit, he drove back to the city in the afternoon, and in the evening he went to the beach to watch the sunset.

At around one o'clock in the morning, the weather outside suddenly changed.

Li Shi was preparing to go to bed. Looking out of the floor-to-ceiling window at the sea night, which was obviously more depressing than the previous two days, his face suddenly became expectant and dignified.

He immediately turned and went to bed.

I woke up at 3:30 in the morning and heard the sound of rain outside. I got up immediately and drove straight to the cliff. (End of chapter)
