Chapter 42: A Chicken Feather
In Wang Jueming's memories, when he woke up from the mass grave, there was silence around him.
It's snowing, and it's white everywhere.
Getting up, he didn't feel that cold.
I touched my neck, and there was no wound on it. Looking at the body again, the wounds from the previous torture have all been healed.
There was chaos in his mind, and Wang Jueming didn't remember what happened before.
Moving forward, he stumbled and finally returned home.
When his family saw that he was alive again, they were surprised and fond, and they were afraid that he would be discovered, so they quietly hid him.
Later, the revolution broke out, the feudal dynasty was overthrown, and Wang Jueming reappeared.
After a long time of not seeing each other, the two talked for a long time.
Although Wang Jueming still didn't know whether his resurrection from the dead had anything to do with the rooster, he still sighed for the chick in the end.
If the rooster really saved his life, he is really affectionate and righteous, stronger than others.
When the old patriarch saw that Wang Jueming was still alive, he thought that the rooster's wish before death had been fulfilled, so he got up and said that he wanted to leave.
When leaving, Wang Jueming suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said, "Old patriarch, you wait a minute." ”
So saying, he turned and went into the house.
After a while, he came out and handed something to the old patriarch.
The old patriarch took it in his hand and saw that it was a fountain pen with a thick chicken feather on the tip of the pen.
"As I was leaving, the chick pecked off the longest feather on his tail and gave it to me. Now that it's gone, please give it back to me. ”
The old patriarch nodded and said yes, and then took his leave and left.
Back in the mountain village, the old patriarch put the chicken feather pen next to the pit where the rooster was buried.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a rooster crowing from around the mountain forest.
The voice was sharp and pierced through the sky.
A gust of wind blew and blew up the fallen leaves all over the mountain.
When he returned home, he found that the hen had hatched another litter of chicks.
It didn't take long for the litter of chicks to grow, and one of them grew up to be very large and majestic. Its appearance is almost exactly the same as that of the dead chicken.
Walking, head high, cockscomb erect.
What's even more amazing is that this rooster, like the previous chick, takes a group of chickens all day long, wandering around in the mountains and forests, drinking mountain spring water and eating small insects and grass.
Everything in the mountains has returned to calm.
The rooster, seven or eight years later, also grew old and died.
Within a few days of his death, another litter of chicks hatched in the village, one of which grew into a rooster. After another seven or eight years, the newborn chicks will be used to inherit the rooster's business.
After the old patriarch passed away, his son became the patriarch, and the old people in the village disappeared one after another, but this inheritance has lasted for hundreds of years.
After listening to the strange man's story, Lao Yu nodded.
Sure enough, this bird and beast is indeed more emotional than some people.
When the patriarch was talking about the previous things, the rooster on his shoulder stood tall and listened very carefully.
Although Lao Yu was very emotional when he heard this, he still didn't understand what the purpose of this strange man was to bring him here.
Just as he was about to ask something, the strange man stretched out his hand and patted the rooster's body. The rooster clucked a few more times, flapped its wings and flew away.
A huge feather fell, Lao Yu reached out to catch it, and saw that it was the longest hair on the rooster's tail.
The feathers are dark brown in color, and the hair stem is transparent and thick.
Lao Yu raised his head and wanted to ask something, but suddenly found that the strange man and the rooster were gone.
Along the creek, the water was rushing.
The surrounding bamboo houses are still the same, but Lao Yu has never seen a single villager again.
Lao Yu held the chicken feather tightly in his hand, and he went down the mountain to the road.
The rain was still very heavy, and it was cold and cold on the body.
Lao Yu held the chicken feather tightly in his arms, as if it was a rare treasure.
Back at the bottom of the mountain, the innkeeper saw that Lao Yu looked a little wrong, and asked him where he had just gone.
Lao Yu didn't say anything, hurriedly packed his things, settled his expenses with the boss, and happened to run into a minibus to Qingshan County when he went out.
Stretched out his hand to stop it, and Lao Yu jumped up directly.
After a bumpy ride, Lao Yu finally returned home.
Because of the heavy rain, in the next few days, Lao Yu fell ill and had a high fever that did not go away.
On this day, Lao Yu took some medicine and was lying in bed watching TV, and at this moment, a piece of news caught his attention.
This news is related to the coal mine accident in Dongshan County.
Roughly speaking, the county magistrate in charge of coal mine resources accepted bribes and signed the approval report that did not meet the production regulations when approving the construction of the coal mine.
Therefore, the county magistrate bears full responsibility for this accident.
At the same time, the special investigation team also found out some of his complicated relationships between men and women, power and sex trading, and so on.
One of the women was actually a female reporter in her thirties who rushed to the scene to report on the day of the accident in the coal mine.
She is one of the mistresses (harmonious) who has been kept by the county magistrate for a long time.
And this female reporter also played a very decisive role in the approval process of the coal mine at that time, and made a lot of profits.
Seeing this, Lao Yu thought of the process of the female reporter reporting on the rescue situation in the coal mine that day, regardless of her personal safety. Looking at this news again, her mouth is indeed too hypocritical.
This world is indeed the way of the human heart.
turned off the TV, and Lao Yu fell asleep.
In his dream, he saw Wang Jueming covered in blood for a while, and then saw the strange man holding a kitchen knife and looking at the female reporter's neck.
In short, the dream is messy, and I feel more tired than when I am awake.
After lying in bed for another day or two, Lao Yu's fever subsided, and he started his old job again.
That brownish-black chicken feather, he kept in his pocket all the time.
I don't know if it's the blessing of that chicken feather, his old Yu's chicken killing business is getting better and better.
Later, Lao Yu took advantage of the east wind to open a chicken farm.
He found a large plot of land on the outskirts of the city, and he made it very large.
The rooster that came out of Lao Yu's chicken farm has elastic meat and teeth, and it is used to braise chestnut and green bamboo shoots or something, and the taste is very beautiful. The hen stew, the layer of butter on the surface, can be seen at a glance, it is an authentic hen walking the ground.
Therefore, in Qingshen County, the chicken killing vendors in various farmers' markets all buy raw chickens from Lao Yu.
Not only that, but those hotels and hotels have also begun to order a large number from Lao Yu.
After a long time, the reputation of Lao Yu's chicken farm has even spread to several surrounding counties, and the money earned by Lao Yu can't stop rising.
The black-brown chicken feathers brought back from Dongshan were carefully preserved by Lao Yu.
He firmly believes that all the changes in his fortune are brought about by this and chicken feathers.
When the business was good, Lao Yu took over the family from the countryside, and built a magnificent small building next to the chicken farm, which cost a lot of money.
I thought everything would be calm, but I didn't expect such an incident to happen......
