Chapter 15 Dark clouds cover snow
Hearing that Liu Chengfang was going to fight cocks, he made Zhang faint.
When she woke up slowly, her spirit was gone, "The last time I took the field, the next time I was afraid that it would be the house and the people!" ”
Wang Jing also thought so, and when Liu Chengfang came back, he asked him directly, "Did my father really decide not to gamble if he won the Zheng family?" ”
Liu Chengfang was stunned for a moment, obviously unhappy, and felt that Liu Jing was just a girl who was picked up and shouldn't talk to him like this.
"If my father is willing to make a note and win the Zheng family, he will no longer gamble, and I will definitely help you." Wang Jing said.
Zhang smiled coldly, "Don't gamble? Unless it's chopped off his hand!"
Liu Chengfang knew what Zhang's anger was, not to mention that he wanted to fight with Zheng Qingwen again just for the so-called face problem, and then thought that Wang Jing had cured his fighting, so he was naturally willing to help him.
"Where did the lady go, as long as I win the Zheng family, I will never fight cocks again." Saying that, he really found pen and ink, took a piece of rice paper, and wrote, "After that, I will only bet once, no matter if I win or lose." If you break your oath, you will have your hand chopped off. ”
Zhang Shi coldly accepted it, "You don't have to chop your own hand, when you break the contract, we will reconcile." ”
Although Liu Chengfang likes cockfighting, he is not so willing to abandon his wife and children for it, knowing that his wife has a knot, he immediately accompanied the smiling face, "A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase, how can a husband break his oath for a little cockfighting?" ”
Zhang's face was better.
"Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles. Why didn't my father let someone go and see how the Zheng family tamed chickens? Xiao Tuanzi shook his head and said.
Liu Chengfang was really a little moved when he heard this, and deliberately took Wang Jing to go once, but in addition to driving chickens, the Zheng family trained chickens in the backyard, and even the door was covered, so it was impossible for ordinary people to see it.
As soon as he passed by the door, Da Xiao began to point at the gate and scold Huai, "Some people are just shameless, seeing that our cockfighting is well raised, they want to come to steal the teacher and learn the arts, villainy!" After speaking, he smiled and said to Liu Chengfang, "The pavilion chief is here, please come to the house." ”
No matter how thick-skinned Liu Chengfang is, he is embarrassed to bring up watching other people's cockfights again.
But now that the autumn grain is about to be harvested, Liu Chengfang gave Zheng Qingwen some work instructions.
Da Xiao's left for dinner, but he didn't respond.
"I remember that the pavilion seems to be not far from here, why didn't my father take me in to have a look?" Xiao Tuanzi said.
In fact, she rarely asked for it, and it was not a difficult matter, so Liu Chengfang took her over.
The inside is quite clean, sometimes Liu Chengfang will rest here at noon, and occasionally spend the night in it when it is too late, there is a stove and a cooking utensils.
"Why don't you send a letter to your mother, and let's stay here for a few days?" Xiao Tuanzi said.
Liu Chengfang also responded, anyway, Zheng Qingwen's house is not far from here, and if he wants to inquire about the news, it is more appropriate to live here.
The next day, Xiao Tuanzi said to Liu Chengfang with a smile, "Father, you have been the pavilion chief for so long, have you ever climbed the Woniu Stone?"
Liu Chengfang knew that Xiao Tuanzi never talked nonsense, although he didn't understand why she said that, he still climbed the Woniu Stone that afternoon.
Standing on the high Lying Cow Stone, the Zheng family's backyard can see clearly, but the Zheng family can't see him, the locust tree in this season is still flourishing, and no one will pay attention to the person hidden inside, even if someone sees it, it can be excused to watch the Lying Cow Stone.
Zheng Qingwen is taming chickens in the yard.
In front of him, he was standing fighting the green-haired chicken that had won the red light.
Cockfighting enthusiasts are very particular about the feathers of cockfighting, and they are generally colored with green, red, purple, and soap. Cyan is jet black feathers, the front with a green bright bottom, the bottom pile is a hairy sand tail, this kind of chicken is called dark clouds and snow in the circle.
At this time, the dark cloud covered Xue Zhengxiong stood there with high spirits, and Zheng Qingwen immediately released a Luhua fighting, and the two chickens quickly fought together, and the Luhua chicken was quickly defeated.
Zheng Qingwen let the dark cloud cover snow rest for a while, and scattered several miscellaneous chickens over, turning the dark cloud cover snow and pecking it, the dark cloud cover snow dodged left and right, but he just refused to admit defeat.
In fact, cockfighting also has momentum, the dark cloud cover snow just won a game, this time the momentum is enough, not only do not admit defeat, but also look for the chicken will peck those miscellaneous chickens a few times.
Generally speaking, fighting cocks will choose those with short and thin hairs to reduce the chance of being bitten by the other party, but the Zheng family's miscellaneous chickens that accompany the fight have very long hairs, and they are pecked down by the dark clouds and snow, and when other chickens attack, Zheng Qingwen drove those chickens away. In short, Zheng Qingwen just watched from the sidelines, letting the dark clouds cover the snow to peck at other chickens, and when a group of chickens were scared, Zheng Qingwen didn't care, and let the dark clouds cover the snow bully them one by one so that they didn't dare to come over.
The dark clouds cover the snow and become more and more courageous, no wonder he can defeat Hongguang in one breath.
Seeing this, Liu Chengfang couldn't help but think of their last gambling fight.
The dark clouds covered the snow with full momentum, although Hongguang was not stage frightened, but Liu Chengfang had never done such professional training for this chicken at all, and every day was just a training method made by the chicken and some weeks. Hongguang carelessly lost the first game, and waited until the second game to play strongly, but it kept the tie. Hongguang's fighting spirit was almost worn out at this time, and he barely played for the third time, and was directly injured by the opponent's dark cloud cover snow, and the blood was in his eyes, and he had no way to fight again.
For the sake of face, before the incense burned out, he directly admitted defeat.
Looking back, he spent no less time on chicken training than Zheng Qingwen, but the Zheng family was clever in his thinking. If it weren't for Ah Jing, even if he competed again, he would have lost.
Recognizing this fact, Liu Chengfang was in a somewhat depressed mood when he went back, "Let's live in Zhuangzi, I'm used to living there." "The most important thing for a man is face, and he doesn't want to see anyone from the Zheng family now.
In fact, although the Zheng family got Liu Chengfang's land deed, the land was deserted there.
It's not that his family doesn't want to plant, it's just that no matter what he plants, he will be eaten by cattle and won't be able to grow.
Of course, there are reasons for this, and the other is that the Zheng family is too far away from these fields, even if there are cattle and sheep gnawing in the field, it is not in a hurry, but it is a waste of fertilizer, seeds and labor.
After a season like this, the next season Da Xiao gave the field to Xiao Xiao's seed, and Xiao Xiao didn't dare to offend the Liu family, so he didn't take it. I want to take it out, but no one dares to buy it.
There are regulations in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the fertile land will be wasted for five years, and the imperial court will directly take it back. Although this field has not been recovered yet, Da Xiao's heart is still pimple. There's no way, Xiong Gui and Meng Zhen died in vain, how can you let her not be careful?
Liu Chengfang obeyed Wang Jing's advice, and in the spring of the following year, a few plush fighting seedlings hatched again.
