If it weren't for the heavy rain outside, I probably wouldn't have entered Lao Yu's chicken coop.

I won't find that the chickens raised by Lao Yu are all deformed.

At this moment, Liu Kui in front of me is scooping the feed from the white plastic bucket into the long strip in front of the chicken coop one by one. Later, he sprinkled some dried wormwood leaves into it and stirred them with a stick.

After doing all this, Liu Kui took off his plastic gloves:

"It's still raining outside, I'll take you to the back tea room to sit and wait for the rain to stop before leaving."

This Lao Yu was born as a chicken, and with a little money, he actually made a tea room in the chicken coop, which was a bit unexpected to me.

This tea room is at the very back of the chicken farm, with floor-to-ceiling windows facing the hillside behind.

The hillside is full of peach forests, if it is spring in April and May, sit here and drink tea, watching the peach blossoms on the opposite side, it is not so comfortable, how comfortable.

Liu Kui wanted to make me tea, I shook my head and said no.

Looking at the mountains and forests outside the glass window, the peach trees swaying from side to side in the wind, I asked Liu Kui, "What is the origin of that stone statue in the hall?" ”

Hearing me suddenly ask this, Liu Kui was stunned, and he asked me hesitantly: "...... What happened to the stone statue? ”

Seeing that he reflected in this way, I was even more sure that there was something wrong with the stone statue.

So he leaned over and said in a low voice: "Brother Liu Kui, that stone statue, when I entered the small building, it was obviously still there, but just now, I saw it and disappeared......

My voice was faint, blending with the sound of the rain outside, and even when I listened to it, I felt an inexplicable chill rise in my vest.

Liu Kui's face was uglier than just now, and when I stared at him, his expression was also a little dazed.

"Xiaofan, what are you doing here when you have nothing to do?"

"I'm here to take shelter from the rain."

"Uh......" Liu Kui hesitated: "I didn't mean that, I mean, this matter has nothing to do with you, this is so decent, what are you doing in the chicken farm......"

In the latter sentence, Liu Kui's tone was obviously tired.

He looked at me with a look of pain, as if he saw that I was sinking into the mud, but he couldn't save me.

This reaction confirmed that my guess was correct, so I asked again: "Brother Liu Kui, is there something going on here?" That stone statue, ...... the hell"

As he spoke, another thunderbolt flashed outside.

Liu Kui and I looked out of the glass window at the same time, and the wind and rain outside were even stronger, and there was no momentum to stop.

Leaning on one of our nearest peach trees, bent by the wind.

Seeing this situation, Liu Kui's throat moved, and after thinking about it, he began to talk to me about the following words:

Lao Yu used to kill chickens in the farmers' market, and after having a little money in his hand, he built a chicken farm in the suburbs to provide chicken to restaurants and catering companies in the city.

This business has been good, but just a few years ago, a chicken plague suddenly struck. More than half of the tens of thousands of chickens in the field died overnight.

The rest of the chickens have been sick and won't live for a few days.

Faced with this sudden situation, Lao Yu turned gray overnight.

Looking at the dying chickens in the chicken coop, the workers of the chicken farm are also very worried, after all, this is everyone's hard work, if it is burned, it will not only lose Lao Yu, but the rest of the people will have to make a new living.

Everyone was at a loss, and they were all counting on Lao Yu to come up with a way.

Lao Yu is the boss, and when something like this happens to the chicken farm, he has to find a way to solve it.

The animal husbandry experts in the city who were invited could not find out what was going on with these chicken plagues, and the root cause of the disease could not be found. Time waits for no one, and Lao Yu decides to go to a provincial city.

Originally, Lao Yu's expectation was to go for three days, but in the evening of the next day, Lao Yu returned.

He came back with a stone statue.

The statue was life-size, but it looked very strange, with a chicken-headed human body, a pair of glasses, a suit, and a cane in its hand.

At that time, it was Liu Kui who carried the stone statue down from the small truck.

Lao Yu asked him to put the stone statue in the center of the courtyard, and after placing it, he breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

Then he asked his wife to find incense and candles, and burned incense and paper against the stone statue.

In the swirling of incense and candles, the stone statue looked more and more weird.

Liu Kui stared at the strange stone statue for a long time, and he finally couldn't help but ask Lao Yu what the situation was.

Lao Yu just patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, with this stone statue, my chicken farm will never have chicken plague in the future, and our jobs will be saved." ”

At that time, it was almost dark, and Lao Yu said that it was not early, everyone had worked hard during this time, so let's rest early.

And, after a pause, he instructed everyone not to go out at night, no matter what sound they heard, and after tonight, everything will be fine.

Liu Kui wanted to ask something, but Lao Yu didn't say anything to him anymore.

So, he had to nod, ate dinner, and went to the second floor with a few other workers to rest.

When Lao Yu was building this small building, he thought about it very thoroughly.

In addition to meeting the living needs of his own family, Lao Yu also took into account the workers who followed him.

Working in a chicken farm is dirty and tiring, and eating and sheltering are the minimum conditions.

So, Lao Yu used the third floor for his own residence, and divided the second floor into a single dormitory, which was convenient for the workers and the aunt who cooked.

That night, Liu Kui had dinner with the children and workers, and then went upstairs to rest.

Liu Kui has been with Lao Yu for the longest time, and he is considered a veteran, so he lives in a single room, and the other room is a little larger, but there are four workers.

After a simple wash, Liu Kui lay on the bed and played with his mobile phone for a while.

Sleepy, he saw that it was almost ten o'clock, and was about to take off his clothes and lie down.

But as soon as he turned off the light, in a blink of an eye, he found a person standing in the corridor outside the window.

In the dim yellow light, the man was motionless, and although he couldn't see his face clearly, the man seemed to be looking at Liu Kui fixedly through the window.

At first, Liu Kui thought it was a worker living in the next room, but he called out to the man and ignored him.

Someone was standing outside the window, and Liu Kui felt uncomfortable.

So, he opened the door.

A gust of cold wind blew in, and Liu Kui sneezed.

The hallway was quiet and empty, the light on the top was dim, and the person standing at the window was gone.

He returned to the house, and had just closed it to lie down to rest, when he turned around, only to find that the man by the window had reappeared.

This time, Liu Kui was angry.

He went out and walked to the door next door, and there was a knock on the door of the worker.

The one who opened the door was a young man, with unkempt hair and a bare upper body, who must have just gotten out of bed. After listening to Liu Kui's inquiry, he felt inexplicable:

"The four of us lay down before eight o'clock, and we have just been playing mahjong on our mobile phones, and no one has ever gone out......"
