Chapter 67: Chicks

Du Heng stood up, went back to the hut by himself, and closed the door with a "bang".

Du Ruo finally stuffed Duqi back into the gluttonous bag, accepted Yaohua, and then sat on the pier chopping wood in a daze.

The old lady held a handful of incense, looked at the thatched hut on the left, looked at Du Ruo on the right, pursed her lips, and then bowed a few times in both directions, inserted the remaining incense on the lintel of Du Heng's thatched house, and went to help the little old man.

Du Heng locked himself in the house for three days and three nights, and Du Ruo also sat on the pier for three days and three nights. The little old man tried to persuade Du Ruo to go back and rest several times, but was stopped by the old lady.

On the evening of the fourth day, Du Ruo was suddenly pulled back to reality by a clucking rooster. She looked up at the hen's pen and saw the old lady chasing the last hen left in the pen. I don't know if the chicken is too flexible or the old lady is too clumsy, but I didn't catch it for a long time, but it was full of chicken feathers.

Du Ruoyi raised his hand to fix the chicken, and the chicken seemed to be petrified, and finally stuck on the fence and did not move.

When the old lady saw that the chicken suddenly didn't move, she straightened up to look at Du Ruo and smiled: "Immortal, are you awake?" ”

Du Ruo smiled and said, "I haven't slept all the time, how can I wake up?" ”

The old lady smiled, picked up the hen, walked out of the hen with three trembling steps, and turned to close the door of the hen. However, as soon as she put her hand next to the door, she retracted it again, as if realizing that there were no more chickens in the chicken pen, and it didn't matter if the door was closed or not.

"Grandma, you have raised so many chickens, they are all for the two of us to eat," Du Ruo walked to the old lady's side, "This last one, you two old people keep it, don't burn it." ”

The old lady raised her head and looked at Du Ruo's handsome face, and said with a smile: "This chicken eats all the grain grown in this grain and drinks spring water, it is a good chicken!" If you give the male fairy food to replenish your body, the male fairy will be able to use the sword......"

Du Ruo said: "The two of us have eaten all the two old people's seeds, and they are almost the same as robbers and thieves, how can this be embarrassing?" ”

The old lady shook her hand and said, "Where the gods say, it is our blessing to be able to give the gods what we raise." ”

Du Ruo saw that he didn't listen to the old lady, so he looked at the empty chicken pen and said, "Grandma, why don't I go to the market to help you buy a few chicken chicks and come back, it just so happens that I have been in the valley for too long and want to go out for a walk." ”

The old lady was about to shake her head, when she suddenly heard a creak on the door of the hut, and Du Heng appeared at the door expressionlessly.

"I'll go."

"You're going?" Du Ruo's eyes widened, "You're not afraid that you will get out of this valley and be discovered by them?" ”

Du Heng sneered and said, "My mana is gone, and I'm almost like a mortal, who else can find me?" ”

"Fairy ......"

The old lady wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Du Ruo.

Du Heng put on the little old man's robe and wore a hat to the market a few miles away from the valley. He pressed the hat very low, leaving only an angular chin exposed.

The bazaar is not big, and there are not many types of things. Fortunately, some common agricultural products are available, and Du Heng quickly set his sights on a stall selling chickens.

"Guest officer buying chicken?" The pock-faced stall owner greeted Du Heng warmly.

Du Heng nodded, looking at the chirping chicks in the basket and was stunned.

The chickens were yellow and bright, squeezing and rubbing in the basket, like countless small flames.

Fire......

The screams of despair, the scorching smoke, the fleeing fire man, the crackling sound of the jujube wood burning, the unbridled laughter of the shameless enemy, countless shocking memories unfolded in front of Du Heng's eyes, and every scene made Du Heng's heart twist like a knife.

The stall owner saw Du Heng's clenched clenched fists, and sneered: "Don't get excited, guest officer, although my chicken costs three pennies a penny, which is more expensive than other people's, my chicken is sturdy, grows fast, and is expensive." And it's just a penny, you can't be so angry......"

Only then did Du Heng realize his gaffe, but he was afraid of revealing flaws, so he pushed the boat down the river and said in a flat voice: "Oh, a chicken is more expensive than one penny, and ten chickens are more expensive than ten pennies." If I buy 20 chickens, doesn't that cost me 20 more than in other houses? Don't buy it! Don't buy it! ”

Du Heng waved his hand and turned around to leave, but the stall owner hurriedly shouted: "Hey! Don't go! You buy twenty chickens, I'll spare you five words, it's all right! ”

Du Heng sighed and said, "Cai Rao Wuwen, then I still want to spend fifteen more Wen?" How many radishes can you buy in fifteen wen! Look at your chicken again, thin and small, I have to spend more money to buy this little plague chicken, and my wife will scold me to death when I go home! ”

"Rao Shiwen! Ten can be! My chicken is really better than others, if you don't buy it, you will regret it sooner or later! ”

Du Heng snickered in his heart, glanced at the chicken chicks in the basket, turned around again, and said, "Hey! Ok, good, good! Fill me with twenty! Hi, my wife is going to say I'm not going to buy anything again......"

The stall owner lifted an empty bamboo basket from below and said with a smile: "I bought my chicken, and your wife will praise you." You see, when we buy chickens at home and give them away in baskets, I don't know how many miles cheaper than other people's houses! ”

Du Heng walked back with a bamboo basket.

The bamboo basket was heavy, and the yellow and clear chickens inside chirped, running to the left for a while, and then to the right again, making the bamboo basket tilt around.

In the end, Du Heng couldn't, so he had to hold the bamboo basket with both hands. The bamboo basket was so large that it almost completely blocked his feet, which made him a little unable to see the way.

Alas, being a mortal is really inconvenient. What you can't see with your eyes is really invisible, and you have to be careful not to fall on your heels, which is really troublesome.

Approaching the mouth of the valley, a gust of wind suddenly arose, and the hat on Du Heng's head was removed. He was about to curse, but found that the originally almost transparent barrier at the top of the valley was actually glowing with a faint red light.

He quickly looked around, and saw the rustling of leaves around him, but the grass was unusually still. Although he had no mana and couldn't sense anything around him, his intuition told him that there seemed to be an ambush here.

He picked up the hat and put it on his head as if he didn't care, and even hummed a little song in his mouth.

Presumably, the visitor is not good, and I don't know what the situation in the valley is. I hope those people don't dare to attack yet, but how to solve these people is a problem.

Du Heng stood outside the barrier and looked into the valley and found that everything seemed to be normal inside.

The old man was digging sweet potatoes in the field, the old lady was washing clothes, and Du Ruo was actually modifying the chicken pen. I think it's to match the size of the chicks, so I plan to narrow the gap between the fences.

Du Heng secretly thought in his heart, the secret of the Du family's altar is only known to my Du family, and they must not be allowed to find out that my mana is lost, and I have to find a way to deceive them.

When Du Ruo saw Du Heng coming back, he was about to speak, but he found that Du Heng's face was pale, and he kept glaring at him.

"Ah Ruo, you said that we have been resting for so long, and we are tired of practicing swords, which is really boring." Du Heng shouted into the valley, "It's also a coincidence, just when I was worried that there was nowhere to try my hand, there were shrimp soldiers and crabs that would be sent to the door, do you think this is providence?" ”

When Du Ruoyi heard that there was a "shrimp soldier and crab general", his expression was slightly nervous, but he quickly covered it up. She threw the hammer to the side with a grin, and said with a smile as she walked towards Du Heng: "There is such a good thing? Let me see! ”

Du Heng turned around and said loudly: "Friends, why are you still hiding in the grass?" Is there not enough mosquitoes outside? ”

With a rustling sound, more than a dozen sword-wielding big men jumped in front of Du Heng from the grass one after another. The man at the head had extremely long eyebrows, dragged on the ground, and was half black and half white, which made Du Heng feel a little familiar.

This long-eyebrow old monster seems to have seen it at a wedding, as if it was called something...... Lutai Qin Jun? The original body seems to be an inconspicuous thing, what is it......

The man with long eyebrows put his hands behind his back and smiled: "Haha, Du Jun is not harmed, Qin Chu has been waiting here for a long time!" ”

Qin Chu deliberately dragged the word "Du Jun" very long, and his tone was very mocking.

Du Heng snorted coldly and said, "Where did the wild boar monster come from, and dare to be presumptuous here?" ”

Qin Chu paced back and forth, and said leisurely: "Du Jun has not heard of 'Tiger Falling in Pingyang and being bullied by dogs'? No matter how powerful you are, without the support of the Du family, you are just a pitiful worm. ”

Du Ruo couldn't help laughing, and said, "Oh, it turned out to be a dog spirit, what else should I be." ”

Qin Chu pointed at Du Ruo's nose and said angrily: "You, who do you say is a dog?!" ”

Du Ruo pretended to be innocent and said: "'Tiger fell in Pingyang and was bullied by dogs', we are 'tigers' and you are 'dogs', you said it yourself!" ”

Qin Chu was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and he couldn't say a word.

Du Heng put the basket aside and said, "Ah Ruo, I still have to cook in a while, I don't want to get my hands dirty." Aren't you always thinking about using my Yaohua? I'll let you open the meat today. ”

"Okay!"

Du Ruo turned his hand to sacrifice Yaohua, and danced a sword flower in mid-air, and the tip of the sword provoked a long eyebrow of Qin Chu.

"I think these two eyebrows are very eye-catching, why don't I shave them for you?"

Qin Chu's face changed, and he took a few steps back abruptly. A dozen men behind him also took a few steps back in fear.

Du Heng sneered in his heart.

If in the past, these wine bags and rice bags were also packed up with Yaohua? With a wave of your hand, they can explode on the spot. It's a pity that this time is different from the past, and the boat is going to capsize in this little gutter. However, this valley is protected by an enchantment, how did these people find us?

Qin Chu looked at the cold light flowing on Yaohua's sword blade with a flustered expression, and seemed to be a little jealous. He turned his eyes away, but saw two old men and old ladies at the mouth of the valley nervously holding hoes and kitchen knives, as if they knew that the Du family brothers and sisters were invincible and were ready to come over to help at any time.

"Haha! They are bluffing! Qin Chu pointed to the mouth of the valley and laughed, "Little ones! Give it to me! ”

Du Heng turned around and saw the old couple, and immediately realized that the kind-hearted old man had unintentionally betrayed him.

Oops, oops, oops! It's exposed!

He flew up and kicked the bamboo basket in front of him to Qin Chu, pulled Du Ruo and ran away. However, before he could run a few steps away, he heard a cry of fear behind him.

"Chicken! Chicken! Go away! Don't! ”

Du Heng suddenly felt the wind rise behind him, and the two stopped and looked back.

I saw a chicken chick become as tall as a two-story building, the chicken chick was covered in yellow hair, fluttering two fledgling wings and excitedly "squeaking", two huge paws deep into the grass, and several thin saplings were directly trampled under their feet.

More than a dozen sturdy men were blown apart and staggered by the strong wind set off by the chickens. They stood up with rolling belts and crawled to their feet, running in all directions without their lives, and Qin Chu was so frightened that he even lost his sword, so he just opened his mouth and shouted.

Du Heng suddenly realized, and then remembered that the original body of this Lutai Qin Jun seemed to be a grasshopper.

It's really any kind of demons and monsters can come to me and get a piece of the pie. However, how did this chicken suddenly become so big, is it......

Du Heng suddenly remembered that when he bought chickens, the stall owner kept bargaining with him, as if he was afraid that he would give up doing business with him. In general, there seem to be few people who are so persistent.

It's Master! That stall owner must have been changed by the master!

Seeing that these big men were about to run, the chicken chicks hurriedly took a big stride and caught up. The big foot fell heavily on the ground, and the mountain shook for a while, and the old man and the old lady standing at the mouth of the valley were immediately shocked and sat down on the ground.

A few big men crashed into the trees in a panic, and as soon as they broke out in a cold sweat, they immediately appeared in their original form. The chick was so happy that it swallowed the grasshopper into its belly in two or three clicks. The remaining few people saw that the momentum was not good, and they were so frightened that they ran away, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Qin Chu was tripped by his eyebrows, couldn't escape, was caught by the chick, and became the meat of the chicken's mouth.

After eating a few grasshoppers, the chickens chirped and chirped, shook their whole body, changed back to their original size, and returned to the flock.

Du Ruo was dumbfounded and stammered: "You, what kind of chicken did you buy?" ”

Du Heng didn't answer, he picked up the basket with a smile and picked up the chicks back into the basket one by one. He walked up to the old couple again, helped them up, and then stuffed the basket into the old lady's arms, and said, "Grandma, this chicken is so good that you are raising it, it is much better than the chicken before you." ”

The old lady stepped back again and again and said, "This ...... This chicken is a god chicken! I don't dare to raise, I don't dare to raise ......"

"Grandma don't be afraid, chickens are still chickens, you can rest assured!" Du Heng pulled the old lady's hand, "It should be our parting gift to you, thank you for your careful care in the past few days!" ”

When the little old man heard this, he exclaimed, "What? The gods are leaving? ”
