Chapter 433: Chapter 434: Hiding a Sutra in a Wild Boar_2

"Ouch!"

However, when she kicked the boar’s stomach, the animal’s body didn’t move an inch, but her toes stung with pain.

"Lass, wild boars have thick skins, especially this kind. The skin is like stone. You better stop kicking. Just watch from the side. This wild boar is valuable, we can’t waste it."

Xiao Yi watched Zeng Xiaoxiao’s actions and couldn’t help but smile wryly. He then set to work without any tools, grabbed the boar’s two long tusks with one hand, and gently pulled them out.

"Wow, what an annoying pig! Even in death, you’re a pain!"

Zeng Xiaoxiao muttered in dismay.

Seeing Zeng Xiaoxiao’s reaction, Xiao Yi couldn’t help but smile again, thinking about who had been clamoring to see the wild boar from the start, saying how cute it was, even comforting him not to be afraid.

"Brother Xiao, you’re so amazing, taking down such a big wild boar!"

Once Zeng Xiaoxiao heard what Xiao Yi said and remembered the painful lesson she’d just learned, she refrained from kicking the boar again. She marveled at the large beast before her, but as soon as the words left her mouth, her attention was drawn to the tusks in Xiao Yi’s hands. Her eyes lit up as she exclaimed, "Those teeth are so pretty."

"Do you like them? If you do, I’ll give them to you."

Xiao Yi smiled. Even though he could have made a good sum of money by selling the tusks, that amount meant little to him. Seeing Zeng Xiaoxiao’s excited face, he was moved and handed her the tusks.

"Ah, really? That’s great! Thanks, Brother Xiao!"

Zeng Xiaoxiao sincerely thought they were cute and was suddenly delighted that Xiao Yi had given them to her. After expressing her thanks, she started fiddling with the tusks in her hands.

"You’re welcome."

Xiao Yi smiled and returned his gaze to the wild boar, then glanced again at Zeng Xiaoxiao. A thought struck him, and he said, "Lass, it’s getting late. By the time we get down from here, it’ll be very late, and in such a remote place, it’ll be hard to find something to eat. Why don’t we just have roasted wild boar tonight?"

"Roasted wild boar!"

Zeng Xiaoxiao was momentarily stunned and then, as if hearing something extremely exciting, leapt to her feet with glee, exclaiming, "Yay, yay! Roasted wild boar, that’s so cool!"

Talking enthusiastically, her eyes brimmed with excitement.

Watching Zeng Xiaoxiao’s reaction, Xiao Yi was speechless. Was roasted wild boar really that cool?

But perhaps for a little girl who hadn’t experienced much danger, it truly was...

Xiao Yi chuckled, shook his head, and then turned to consider how to prepare the boar.

"Brother Xiao, this pig is so big, how are we going to roast it?"

Once Zeng Xiaoxiao came down from her excitement, she immediately focused on the wild boar and asked a key question, a hint of worry in her eyes.

"We’ll cut it open."

Although Xiao Yi could lift the entire wild boar, he did not wish to do so in such a shocking fashion. He simply said, and then asked her, "Lend me those teeth in your hand for a moment."

"Okay."

Zeng Xiaoxiao quickly handed the teeth over to Xiao Yi, all the while curiously watching what he was going to do with them.

Xiao Yi took the teeth from Zeng Xiaoxiao and immediately set to work. In his hands, the teeth transformed into a blade as sharp as a knife, effortlessly slicing into the boar’s belly. With a flick of his wrist, he split the boar open straight down the middle.

"Snap!"

With Xiao Yi’s action, the boar’s innards, along with various red and yellow fluids, poured out, creating a rather gruesome sight.

Zeng Xiaoxiao, who had always shown a tendency for violence, was taken aback by the gory scene she had never encountered before. She instinctively turned her eyes away, unable to bear the sight.

Xiao Yi paid no mind to Zeng Xiaoxiao and began to carve the boar, quickly cutting off several pieces of what he considered the most valuable and tastiest meat, about a hundred jin in total. Holding the meat, he said to Zeng Xiaoxiao, "Alright, let’s go. We need to find a place to grill this meat."

"Roger that!"

Zeng Xiaoxiao, although she couldn’t bear to look at the grisly scene of yellow and white scattered about, did not feel any discomfort watching Xiao Yi neatly arranging the meat in his hands and happily responded.

"Eh, Brother Xiao, this piece of meat, it’s so strange?"

Suddenly, just as Zeng Xiaoxiao was about to leave, her eyes caught a glimpse of a piece of meat that he had tossed aside, and instinctively reached out for it.

"Hmm?"

Xiao Yi’s gaze instantly followed Zeng Xiaoxiao’s line of sight and he too saw what she was pointing at, a piece of meat he had just thrown aside. His eyes couldn’t help but show a hint of surprise as he had been fully concentrating on processing the wild boar’s meat and hadn’t taken a closer look. Only now did he realize that this particular piece of meat was indeed strange, with a bulging lump.

"I’ll check."

With a trace of confusion, Xiao Yi stopped Zeng Xiaoxiao’s action, stepped forward, picked up the piece of meat, and pressed down on it. At this press, his expression immediately changed.

This piece of meat really had a problem!

Inside, there wasn’t meat, but something felt like it had been wrapped up!

"Brother Xiao, what’s wrong?"

Zeng Xiaoxiao, seeing Xiao Yi standing there motionless, holding the piece of meat, asked curiously.

"There’s something wrong with this meat, let me check."

Xiao Yi put down the meat in his hand and reached over with the other, directly tearing open the piece of meat.

"Snap!"

As Xiao Yi tore it open, an oil-paper bag immediately fell out from inside.

"Eh?"

Watching what seemed like a magic trick, Zeng Xiaoxiao’s eyes widened. There was something hidden in the pork?

"This..."

Xiao Yi was also stunned. Something was hidden inside the pork...

How could this... resemble the plots he had read in those novels before?

He originally thought it might have been a tumor growing on the pig, which would also create a firm bulge...

"Wow, how amazing, there’s actually something inside the pork!"

Zeng Xiaoxiao clearly wasn’t a fan of martial arts novels, nor was she aware of the frequent occurrence of such scenarios in them, but her little face was still filled with excitement as she jumped up and said, "Let’s see what fell out."

Saying so, she picked up the oil bag from the ground and opened it.

"Wow, it’s a book, no wonder it was wrapped up, but what is all this gibberish written here?"

Quickly, Zeng Xiaoxiao deftly pulled out a thin little book from the oil paper, flipping through it with interest.

"I have heard of sages hiding scriptures with old monkeys, and today this old Taoist will hide a scripture with a mountain pig, leaving it for someone with destiny."

Xiao Yi curiously leaned over to look at the book Zeng Xiaoxiao was examining.

It was indeed a case of hiding scripture within a mountain pig...

This was also too much...

Too coincidental!

When he clearly saw the writing on it, even Xiao Yi, who had never really believed in the adventurous plots of the novels, couldn’t help but reveal an odd look at this moment.

Just... he didn’t know what scripture it was this time, it couldn’t also be the widely popular ’Nine Suns True Scripture’ that he had read about before, could it? (To be continued.
