Chapter 45: Drunken Chicken
"Wang Langjun, how is it? Did you find it? When Li Tao saw Wang Xi, he hurriedly asked.
"Found it!" Wang Xi smiled and nodded.
"Tell me about it!" Li Tao couldn't wait.
"After we left Shucheng......"
……
Wu Laoqi and Wang Xi Fan Feng Sulu came to Funiu Mountain, turned around in the deep mountain col for a long time, only to see a row of bamboo fence thatched houses, cooking smoke curling, a man in his forties is weaving a bamboo cover to raise young chicks in front of the door, when he saw Wu Laoqi, he was overjoyed and bowed. This person is Cui Laoba. After listening to Wu Laoqi's intentions, Cui Laoba took the two of them to his more than a dozen yaksha fighting cocks, and asked Wu Laoqi to choose two fierce and powerful fighting cocks sorted as "steel", which were named "Drill Steel Wind" and "Flying Steel Canopy" respectively.
It was nearly noon, Cui Laoba arranged for the kitchen to clean up the wine and rice, and he talked about the "Cockfighting Sutra" with Wu Laoqi, Wang Xi couldn't interject, so he walked around the house. Before I turned to the kitchen, I saw that a small guy had already killed two chickens, and was panting to catch another fighting. The fighting seems to be a one-year-old chicken that has poured its feathers once, although it is also a yaksha fighting with a strong chest and a long neck, but it has a pair of light and fluttering legs, which are least favored by the cockfighters.
It's strange to say, don't look at this "lap leg" walking staggeringly, flying up and down the action is also extremely clumsy, but the little guy repeatedly can't catch it, until another cook arrives, and the two of them chase after the front block, and then hold it down.
The rooster crowed, and the cry was very sad.
Wang Xi's heart trembled, and he asked the cook, "Why do you have to kill this chicken?" ”
The cook said, "The master said, this is a walking chicken." Do you know about chickens? It's a chicken that doesn't dare to fight and flee as soon as it fights, so it has to be killed and eaten. ”
Then he pointed to the two chickens that had been killed, and said, "Not only that, but even its father and hen must be killed, so as not to confuse the blood of the whole flock." ”
"That's a good point." At this time, Cui Laoba walked over with Wu Laoqi and said: "There is a chance that this strain of fighting cocks will appear in a hundred years of rare cockfighting kings, but I never thought that this Luo Quanleg who did not dare to fight came out, it seems that I don't know when it was mixed with miscellaneous chickens!" ”
While speaking, the cook had pressed Luo Quan's leg on the board with one hand and a knife in the other, and the Luo Quanleg was even more mournful, and he turned his head to look at Wang Xi as if he was a spirit, and he was kowtowing for help.
Wang Xi couldn't hold back any longer, and shouted: "This chicken can't be killed!" ”
"Why?" Cui Laoba was stunned.
"I ...... I don't eat chicken anymore! "Wang Xi period Ai Ai said.
Cui Laoba was amused, turned his head to Wu Laoqi and said, "Sure enough, Brother Wang is a kind-hearted person!" This rooster was given to Brother Liu. ”
Said Bo Xishan, Wu Laoqi and Wang Xi, who were full of wine and food, said goodbye to Cui Laoba.
Wang Xi suddenly remembered something, pointed to the Luo Quanleg in his arms and said to Cui Laoba: "Brother Cui, give my chicken a good name with the word 'steel', it can't be called Luo Quanjiao!" ”
Cui Laoba was very embarrassed, because it was embarrassing for the whole chicken to go out of the chicken, and naturally he would not name such a fighting in order, so he said vaguely: "Brother Liu, you are drunk." ”
Wang Xi heard this, and said with great joy: "Yes, it's called a drunken chicken!" This chicken walks staggeringly, as if drunk, and it is only fitting to call it a drunken chicken! ”
Cui Laoba and Wu Laoqi laughed.
……
Just when Li Tao was chatting with Wang Xi, Cheng Dezhang was also talking to Hua Yunfeng.
"Lao Hua, Jingjing and Li Tao have gotten closer recently?" Cheng Dezhang asked slowly.
"It's still the same, nothing has changed!" Hua Yunfeng shook his head and said.
"This kind of thing can't be rushed, only simmer slowly over low heat!"
"Of course I know!"
"Lao Hua, three days later, it will be your father-in-law's sixtieth birthday, but you are going to pay homage to your sister-in-law and his wife?"
Hua Yunfeng sighed and said: "I was originally going to go, but yesterday I received a patient, my life is on the front line, and I am doing my best to treat it!" Human life is at stake, so naturally you can't go! I asked Wenxuan and Jingjing to accompany your sister-in-law, my old man is open-minded, and he won't blame me in the future! ”
"That's fine! It's just that Wenxuan doesn't need to go! Cheng Dezhang said suddenly.
"Why is that?" Hua Yunfeng was puzzled.
"I think it's better for Li Tao to accompany Jingjing and his sister-in-law!"
"What? Let Li Tao go? How can this work? He is an outsider, how can I explain to Humble Jing and my father-in-law? Hua Yunfeng was immediately anxious when he heard this.
"Who said Li Tao is an outsider? As long as this trip goes, Li Tao will no longer be an outsider! I know that Mrs. Sister-in-law will have a way there, they are all old husbands and wives, will Mrs. Sister-in-law not consider Jingjing? ”
Speaking of this, Cheng Dezhang said incomprehensibly: "As for your father-in-law, you don't have to say anything!" He loves Jingjing the most, and I think as soon as he sees Li Tao, he will know your intentions. I really want to say, and my sister-in-law is going to say, what are you anxious about? ”
Cheng Dezhang's words made Hua Yunfeng very moved: "That's fine, I'll talk to Li Tao tomorrow!" ”
"Definitely! Definitely! You can't say with Li Tao! ”
"What's wrong?" Hua Yunfeng frowned.
"The matter of Li Tao and Jingjing was wishful thinking on the part of the two of us from beginning to end! In the end, whether it succeeds or fails, there is one person who can never get around! ”
"You mean Mrs. Lee?"
Cheng Dezhang said solemnly: "You also know her identity, if she doesn't agree, even if Jingjing changes her mind a hundred times, it's useless!" ”
"How's that okay?"
"Why don't you take this opportunity to go to Mrs. Li, first, to discuss this matter with her, and second, to test Mrs. Li's attitude!"
Hua Yunfeng thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay!" I'll go and meet Mrs. Li! ”
……
"Hua Langzhong, I understand what you mean, and let me think about it, I will reply to you as soon as possible!" The Yuan clan very politely sent Hua Yunfeng out of the door.
Back in the house, Yuan Shi sighed and said, "Uncle Yue, what do you think about this matter?" ”
Pei Yue said with a smile: "I think Hua Jingjing, this kid is good, she is handsome, and she has a good heart, she is completely worthy of the little master!" And ......"
Speaking of this, Pei Yue smiled and said nothing.
"And what?"
"And the little master also likes Hua Jingjing very much!"
"How did you find out?"
"I said that I followed the little master, how could I not know the little master's thoughts? Let's just say that the little master saved Hua Jingjing's life a few days ago, except for the reason of kindness, why didn't the little master have a good impression of Hua Jingjing? ”
Yuan Shi nodded: "Since Tao'er has no opinion, how can I stop it?" Anyway, Jingjing, this kid can be regarded as knowing the roots, at least he won't hurt Tao'er! ”
"Mistress, one more important thing!"
"Uncle Yue, let's talk about it!"
"Mastermother, according to my observation, this Hua Jingjing not only learned ancestral medical skills from Hua Yunfeng, but she is also a natural martial arts wizard. If you are a good student, you will follow the little master in the future......"
"Uncle Yue, what do you mean ......?"
Pei Yue said sadly: "Mastermother, the little master will always marry a wife and have children in the future, and it is not appropriate for me to follow him anymore." Besides, I'm too old to be with him for the rest of my life! ”
"Uncle Yue, our orphans and widows have dragged you down...... Yuan couldn't help but sigh.
