I became a farmer in the apocalypse.

Piglets weighing around ten pounds.

"Sister Jiang, this is a good thing."

Li Lan's eyes were opened wide.

Finding these little white pigs in the mountains is a once-in-a-century occurrence, and they're not mutated pigs. If they were raised to adulthood, how much meat could we eat?

But these days people can't even get enough to eat, let alone raise pigs? It's best to give up on that idea.

Even if you don't raise them, you can still make roast suckling pig.

The taste of roast suckling pig...

It smelled exceptionally good.

Li Lan was incredibly tempted, but she knew perfectly well that since Jiang Li had found the pig, it naturally belonged to Jiang Li, and she wasn't that greedy.

"Sister Jiang, how about I go around in front while you grab it from behind? We'll attack from both sides and help you catch this little white pig."

Jiang Li nodded.

Although the pig's legs are short, it can run away very fast when it gets startled.

Jiang Li took a few steps closer, just about to make a move, when suddenly, the little pig turned its head as if it had noticed something.

It looked at Jiang Li and seemed to sense Jiang Li's intention. It immediately widened its eyes in fear and let out a "woof woof woof" sound!

Jiang Li's expression changed slightly.

Almost forgot, pigs have an extremely sensitive sense of smell; they can quickly detect someone approaching by recognizing their scent.

The cub's first reaction upon seeing her wasn't to run, but to cry out.

Soon, Jiang Li sensed a huge object running towards them from not far away. The object rubbed against the grass, making a "swish" sound.

The protectors of the cubs have arrived.

That makes sense. If a piglet is eating in the wild with its bottom sticking out, how could there not be a bigger one next to it?

Listening to the direction the creature came from, Jiang Li calmly pulled out a sickle more than a meter long from her basket.

This sickle, with half blade and half wooden handle, can be used as a short knife.

Sure enough, in the blink of an eye, a huge creature lunged horizontally.

Jiang Li held the knife in one hand, turned to the side, and the blade spun in the air in a cold arc.

This is a two-hundred-pound adult white pig, and the fat on its neck has long since turned into a tough armor.

Jiang Li's sickle was a bit dull, and this cut barely managed to slice open a thin layer of its skin.

The white pig missed its target.

It braked, its bloodshot eyes fixed on Jiang Li, filled with rage.

Jiang Li observed the sow's vivid expressions. "What do you want?"

Without saying a word, the sow charged at Jiang Li.

Li Lan rushed over, carrying a machete.

Jiang Li and the sow have already engaged in close combat.

Jiang Li was ruthless; because her weapon wasn't sharp enough, if one cut wouldn't sever the skin, she'd make two or three...

Each time the sow clashed, several deep bloody marks would appear on the outer layer of skin around her vital parts.

After a dozen or so cuts, even an iron pig would be torn and bleeding. It began to exhaust itself, losing its previous fierce momentum, and panted heavily, seemingly wanting to stop fighting.

It wanted to stop, but Jiang Li didn't want to stop.

When it was Jiang Li's turn to take the initiative, she leaped to the sow's side with a leopard-like agility, gripped the knife in one hand, and with lightning speed, slashed the curved blade into the sow's carotid artery triangle. Using her full body weight, she slumped backward and forcefully pulled the blood vessel open laterally.

The sow collapsed to the ground, exhausted.

Blood gushed from the torn opening, and the legs kicked and struggled violently in the air.

"It's fallen! It's fallen!"

Li Lan was terrified, but when she saw the sow fall to the ground, she couldn't help but cheer.

This girl is ruthless! She took down a 200-pound pig!

Jiang Li shifted her gaze from the sow's carcass to the little white pig beside her.

The little white pig hadn't fled the scene yet; it was running towards them on its short legs.

Approaching the sow, it watched the blood gushing from her body. Suddenly, its eyes filled with tears, which streamed down its face, and it let out a mournful cry...

"This animal is practically a spirit."

He was so heartbroken.

Jiang Li couldn't bear to hurt the little white pig anymore.

Its crying was so lifelike that it filled Jiang Li with a deep sense of guilt.

"Or... shall I let you go?"

Jiang Li finished speaking.

With a "thud," the little pig fainted, its pinkish-white body collapsing onto the grass, tears staining its entire face.

Jiang Li: "..."

What does this mean?

Could it be...?

She fainted from grief?

Jiang Li reluctantly picked up the piglet, tied its short legs with a rope, and threw it into the basket.

-

Su Xiao did not see Jiang Li again until there were only two hours left before they had to descend the mountain.

Although she didn't encounter any more wild vegetable patches afterward, her harvest today was still quite good, the largest among all the participants.

The basket was mostly full, containing at least twenty pounds of wild vegetables.

It mainly came from that patch of shepherd's purse. She picked most of the wild vegetables from that patch, weighing more than ten kilograms!

Everyone looked at Su Xiao with envy.

"Su Meizi is so lucky today! She must have earned more than a thousand points today!"

Wang Guihua: "Su girl is a good person and has good fortune; God will surely bestow good luck upon her!"

Su Xiao: "I'm nowhere near as good as Jiang Li. Jiang Li picked thirty-seven catties of wild vegetables the day before yesterday, and I'm barely even close."

When Jiang Li was mentioned, some people started talking about it.

"What's the situation with Jiang Li and Li Lan? Have they found anything?"

Sun Dayong sneered, "Hmph! They don't even know if they're still alive! Do you think just anyone can go deep into those mountains? They're really risking their lives for money!"

Wang Erma, who was usually most skilled at studying fortune telling, couldn't help but speak up:

"To be honest, I think Jiang Li's life is indeed short-lived. She doesn't follow any rules. On the first day of searching for resources, we went to the west end, but she insisted on going to the east end! This time, we agreed to stay on both sides of the stream and not go deep, but she insisted on going deep! She always insists on doing things her way, and people like that are prone to failure!"

"Just you wait and see, she's bound to get into trouble sooner or later! This morning I noticed her forehead was dark, a very bad omen. This time, things might turn out badly."

Wang Guihua looked at him with a skeptical expression. "Wang Erma? Are you serious? You really figured it out?"

Wang Erma stroked his chin. "Of course! Just wait and see. Even if she doesn't die today, she'll die sooner or later."

"Who wants to die?"

A voice suddenly came from behind, startling Wang Erma. He turned around and met a pair of dark, cold eyes.

When Wang Erma met Jiang Li's gaze, for some reason, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, as if he were being watched by something.

"Cursing someone to death behind their back in broad daylight?"

Jiang Li looked at him coldly, "I don't remember offending you at all."

Wang Erma only dared to speak when no one was around. Now that Jiang Li asked him, he lowered his head and couldn't say a word.

Some people noticed that Jiang Li was not carrying a basket on her back.

"Jiang Li, where's your basket? Did you find any wild vegetables?"

Jiang Li: "Yes, I know a place with lots of wild vegetables. I dug up a lot myself, and there are still some left. If you want some, go and dig them up yourself."
