When Chen Xu asked the locals behind him, what was the reason for such a lively scene, an old man who had lived in Zhongshan Town for a long time bowed with his hands and said: "Mr. I don't know, Zhongshan Town has a cockfight every year in the autumn season, such a scene, I don't know how many times I have seen it, it must be a cockfight."

Wan Jiaojiao said with a smile: "It turned out to be cockfighting, I used to know the history of Chinese cockfighting in books, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period flourished for a while, and then to the Han Dynasty, the national strength increased greatly, showing off the Quartet, the people lived a rich life, the streets and alleys like to watch cockfighting, the court often has royal relatives and nobles to see it as a game, to our dynasty is more prosperous, there is a court in the palace every festival celebration, there is a game of cockfighting, which can be seen. ”

Xia Sangzhi on the side of the street smiled at Chen Xu and said: "Yes, yes, Miss Wan Jiaojiao is right, sir, I have never seen a cockfight scene, can we go and see it first." ”

And Wan Jiaojiao also spoke, and Lu was obedient to this little sister's words, many times when his parents in Lingnan replied to the letter, they often told Chen Xu to take care of Wan Jiaojiao, not to let her be wronged, and Chen Xu did the same.

Chen Xu was anxious to find Han Jimin, but due to fate, Chen Xu also obeyed the will of the two people he loved and watched the cockfight

As a result, Chen Xu took them to a cockfighting house in Zhongshan Town, and wanted to pay for these two lively, innocent and cute sisters to buy cockfights. A young man who was ugly and 170 years old and bought chickens next to him said: "Your husband and wife are really a person, talented women are hard to find in the world, and their vision is so fine, come to my bamboo house to buy cockfighting, it is considered to be in the right place, Zhongshan Town that people don't know who doesn't know the reputation of my "cockfighting seven", my cockfighting here is all the best breeds, purebred benign cockfighting, ensure that after you buy my chickens, you will win every gamble." ”

Wan Jiaojiao likes to call her Chen Xu's lover in front of Chen Xu the most, and her mood suddenly became very cheerful, looking at the different forms in the chicken coop, the fighting cocks, the feathers are beautiful, colorful, there are green, red, purple, soap, beautiful, white, persimmon flowers, sonorous sound, feathers stand, cockscomb red, green feathers fluttering.

Wan Jiaojiao circled back and forth a few times, waved her hand, and said: "Okay, I want that chicken, a fighting with bright red fur and upturned feathers." ”

Chen Xu and Xia Sangzhi forgot the past at a glance, and saw this chicken, with a beak like an eagle hook and a stubborn gaze, shaped like an ostrich with a golden distance, awe-inspiring to be a real general, and his momentum was high-spirited and not a weak slave.

Xia Sangzhi said: "Miss is really good eyesight, I believe that as soon as this chicken appears, it will win other fighting cocks, but the prestige will not let you take it all up, and I will also pick out a good fighting." ”

Xia Sangzhi has been observing for a long time, and soon selected a chicken from the bottom of the bamboo house, Xia Sangzhi really has a good eye, the chicken in his arms is full of golden eyes and double rings, sonorous crying through the clouds, the long sickle fluttering like a colorful flag, and the red crown is like frost. It's a pity that it doesn't work.

And Chen Xu had no intention of cockfighting, just accompanied the two sisters to wander around blindly to satisfy their curiosity, but Wan Jiaojiao and Xia Sangzhi, who did not think of it, were very interested, Wan Jiaojiao took Chen Xu's hand and said: "Brother Chen Xu, you can also buy one, otherwise when you wait for the cockfight, you will only look at it alone How boring." ”

Chen Xu squatted down and felt that the fighting cocks in the bamboo hut were separated by each small cage, but at this point, they were much the same, the fierce gaze of the fighting and the long feathers could not make Chen Xu's eyes shine.

Slowly, Chen Xu locked his eyes on the bottom of the bamboo house, lying still, with mixed hairiness, dry colors, and dull eyes, it was not so much a fighting as a strange chicken, only to see it lying on the bamboo board, letting the fighting next to him trample on, its neck stretched out, and it made a purring sound.

The young man who bought the chicken next to him was afraid that Chen Xu would not be able to find a satisfactory fighting, so he walked over with a carrying pot in his hand, and sprayed a mist towards the fighting, and the fighting under the bamboo house did not even blink for a moment, Chen Xu saw the fighting next to it but clucked, his expression was fierce, he shook his head frequently, and his feathers became more dazzling.

Chen Xu felt very strange, so he turned around and asked, "Hey, boss, what is the mist you sprayed, such a cockfight has such a reaction." ”

The young man who bought the chicken was also honest and said: "I can't hide it, I'm just afraid that you will pick out a satisfactory fighting, so I sprayed a pepper water to stimulate their fighting spirit and see if there is a fierce fighting for you to notice." ”

Chen Xu was excited, took the hand of the young man who bought the chicken and said: "You sprayed it with chili water just now, so that's the case, I took away the fighting that is good for the small noodles of the bamboo house, and I will give you the money." ”

The young man who bought the chicken gave the chicken to Chen Xu, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Let's tell the truth, the lover behind you just gave me too much money, I will give you this chicken of yours, hey I really want to thank you, this chicken has a harsh appetite and a strange temper, except for the green worms on the grass, usually free-range in the mountains and does not eat a little grain and rice, not only ugly, but also lazy by nature, the buyer doesn't even look at it, I just want to slaughter it and eat it, giving it to you is to save food, I hope you don't regret it." ”

Chen Xu held the chicken in his arms, teasing it while walking, Wan Jiaojiao in front of him was a little angry at this time, and said to Xia Sangzhi: "Your husband, do you like to play with us, why do you want to do this, disturb our interest, I hate him." ”

The dozen or so servants behind him secretly laughed: "Everyone in the world says that Chen Xu is extremely smart, but I am a little skeptical, I don't know if someone is exaggerating." ”

But Xia Sangzhi said: "Miss, don't you say that sir, I saw him do this, there must be a reason for him." ”

And Wan Jiaojiao was thinking: Is it because of the death of Brother Liu Qin, is he still unwilling to forgive me until now. ”

Jiaojiao and Xia Sangzhi took a lot of effort to squeeze into the cockfighting ring, and a scene immediately appeared in front of the three of them, only to see the feathers flying in the oval fighting arena surrounded by a three-foot bamboo fence, debris all over the ground, blood, and screams.

Everyone shouted in unison: "Bite it, bite it to death, yes, the general is good, peck the Hun chicken on the ground to death." ”

When Chen Xu and the three of them looked over, they saw a "Wolf Mountain Black", with black and blue feathers, shining brightly. Flapping wings as fierce as a wolf, clucking like a master. Rising from the ground, with the golden distance under his feet, he struck the big reed flower in front of him, and this big reed flower was seriously injured, Ling Yu fell to the ground, the cry turned into a low voice, the red crown was bleeding in many places, and it had been attacked many times by the wolf mountain black, the big reed flower slowed down, the eyes were full of shock, and he couldn't avoid it, and he was stepped on the door by the wolf mountain black, and collapsed to the ground all of a sudden, but the wolf mountain black had the nature of a wolf, and he was already pecking it unrelentingly.

A voice came from the crowd and shouted: "The victory or defeat has been decided, Wolf Mountain Black defeated Da Luhua and won five games in a row, is there anyone else who is willing to fight with Wolf Mountain Black." ”

Xia Sangzhi looked at the big reed flower on the ground being pecked and bitten by the wolf mountain black viciously, so he was worried about this fighting, but the Nanshan fighting in his arms was more nervous than him, and he fluttered his wings impatiently.

The spectators outside the paddock were like a tide, cheers were connected, and some saw the Nanshan fighting in front of them, as if they were not afraid of death, and immediately wanted to gamble to buy it to win, but the insiders pecked each other's cockscombs from it, flapping their wings, arrogant, and arrogant, and saw that this chicken was in name only, and its fighting power was average, and it was difficult to beat this fighting fulfillment rich, fierce and good at fighting, and the wolf mountain black that specializes in eyes.

Sure enough, they guessed it, the two chickens fought against each other for half a pillar of incense time, Wolf Mountain Black raised his wings, fluttered not empty, his neck avoided the attack of Nanshan Fighting, straddling the chicken paws in mid-air, stepping on the other party's neck on the ground, the wings on both sides fanned the wind, and pressed on each other's body, Nanshan Fighting clucked, and when he got up, when Wolf Mountain Black tilted his body, his eyes were sharp and pecked at each other's eyes, and the Nanshan Fighting's left eye was pecked blind, and this time Nanshan Fighting was powerless to resist, Just walked around the belly of Wolf Mountain Black, and Wolf Mountain Black Sea pecked his neck vigorously.

Xia Sangzhi outside the field did not expect that her cockfighting was so "thundery, rainy", when she shouted for Nanshan cockfighting, and wanted it to reverse the defeat and turn defeat into victory, Nanshan cockfighting escaped like an embarrassed sergeant, walking around the bamboo fence on the edge of the field, for fear that the wolf mountain behind it would peck at it, and get into the gap of the bamboo fence, and it was stuck all of a sudden.

Xia Sangzhi's fair face was red with anger, and he scolded: "Stinky chicken buyer, give me such an unlucky fighting, and I will be defeated in two moments, which will make me lose face." ”

But "Misfortune does not go alone", a chubby hand stretched out in mid-air, Xia Sangzhi was angry, blocked his hand aside, and said: "I'm upset, don't come to mess with me." ”

Out of the crowd stood out a big fat man wearing silk and satin, with a gown up and down, a waist wrapped in gold wire, a chest with gold and jade, a bloated body, and a fat face. ”
