"Oh? Is there anything special about this chicken? As soon as Bai Luo opened his mouth to ask, Zhu Qi on the side had already opened his mouth curiously.

Peng Wu laughed twice and instructed his mother-in-law: "Old woman, go and catch one of the chickens at home and show it to Lord Bai." ”

"Hey." Peng's fifth daughter-in-law agreed, turned around and went to the backyard, and after a while, she came over with a chicken in her hand.

I saw that this chicken was square and round, with a short neck, thin and short shins, and a black body, even the eyes and cockscomb and beak were jet black.

Li Zheng took the chicken from the mother-in-law's hand, handed it to Bai Luo and his party and said, "Lord Bai, look, this chicken is stewed on the table." ”

Peng Wu took the chicken and showed it to everyone, and then said: "This chicken is called black chicken, which is a specialty of our Shanhai Village and the adjacent Chatian Village. ”

"This chicken grows strangely, its fur, skin, meat, bones, and internal organs are all black, not to mention that it is all black inside and out, and even the eggs are very different." As he spoke, Li Zheng handed the chicken back to his mother-in-law, and instructed his daughter-in-law, "Old woman, take out a few more eggs." ”

Peng's fifth daughter-in-law did things neatly, took the chicken and went to the backyard again, and after a while, she came back with a bamboo basket in her hand.

I saw that there were a few eggs inside, and the shells turned out to be pale green.

"This, this is the egg laid by this black chicken?" Bai Luo's eyes widened in surprise, and he carefully pinched an egg and took a closer look.

"yes, this is the egg of the black chicken." Na Peng Wu looked at the surprised look of everyone at the eggs in the basket, and said with a smile on his wrinkled face.

"Speaking of which, this black chicken is really a baby, this chicken is the most nourishing body, as long as the women in our village are confinement, they must drink the chicken soup of this black chicken, which not only nourishes the body, but also very milk." The fifth daughter-in-law said to Lord Bai quickly, with a hint of pride on her face.

Peng Wuyi heard what his daughter-in-law said, and immediately scolded: "Bad old woman, what do you say in front of Lord Bai who can't give milk, you offend adults, see if I don't knock you to death." ”

Peng Wu's daughter-in-law was obviously very afraid of Peng Wu, and when she saw Peng Wu pulling down her face and scolding her, she didn't dare to reply, and smiled at Bai Luo's flattery, so she quickly slipped away to the wall and went to the kitchen to boil water and make tea.

Bai Luo hurriedly stopped Peng Wudao: "The fifth master is too worried, it's okay, Mrs. Zun is exactly what she wants to know." ”

Peng Wu said apologetically to Lord Bai: "The village woman is vulgar and has no knowledge, adults must not blame, but she said that this chicken is the most nourishing person, not to mention the chicken, even the eggs of this black chicken are more nourishing than ordinary eggs." ”

Bai Luo nodded with a smile, and asked again: "Since this chicken is so good, why is it not famous in the northwest?" Even Anning County has never heard of it. ”

"Alas," Speaking of this, Peng Wu sighed, "This chicken, only our village and Chatian Village have, but our two villages are a pair of poor brothers, every family is so poor that they can't wait to be pants, but this chicken is the most delicate, if you only feed and eat insects on weekdays, then you don't grow meat at all, just a pair of chicken racks with skin and bones, except for stewed soup, otherwise the chicken legs can't tear out three pieces of meat, you have to feed some bean grain to grow meat, but our own rations are not enough, where is the surplus grain to feed the chickens, If it weren't for my son and daughter-in-law to give birth to a baby, we would have to eat them during the confinement, and we would not be willing to raise these chickens. ”

"Besides, every household is raising chickens for their confinement daughters-in-law, and they don't have enough to eat, so where is there any surplus to sell."

"Even if there are so many outsiders who know that this chicken is good, but our village is far away and the road is impassable, no one will toss these dozens of miles of mountain roads for a chicken, just to come to our village to buy such a chicken."

"So not many people know about this chicken, so naturally adults have never heard of it." Peng Wu explained the reason in detail.

Bai Luo nodded thoughtfully after listening.

After eating, Peng Wufei didn't let Chai Hu help clean up, and everyone had to confess their sins and go back to their respective rooms to rest.

Shanhai Village is poor, but the land is there, Li Zheng has three sons, each with a few rooms, and it is effortless to arrange Bai Luo and Zhu Qi's party, the only thing that worries Peng Wu is that there are really not so many thick quilts at home.

In the end, Bai Luo and Chai Hu, Jiang Xin and Han Cong, and Zhu Qi's two guards covered a quilt and slept together, and Peng Wu went to the neighbor's house to borrow a thick quilt, which would be enough for a few people to sleep peacefully.

The night in the mountains is like water, cool and noisy.

The cold is not the sound of people at night in Anning County, but the noisy is the sound of frogs and insects in the night.

There was nothing to do in the mountains, and everyone went to bed quite early, and they all fell asleep just after the end of the day.

Bai Luo had something in his heart, and the chai hu beside him was in a hurry to help the old man's house clean up during the day, he was very tired, and his lean body snorted like thunder, which made Bai Luo even more unable to sleep over and over.

She didn't want to disturb Chai Hu, so she got out of bed in her clothes and went to the yard for a breathy walk.

When he got out of the courtyard, he saw Zhu Qi also wearing a cyan straight shirt, standing upright in the courtyard and looking up at the bright moonlight.

"Brother Kuanyu?" Bai Luo called tentatively.

I saw the people in the courtyard turn around, and the handsome face turned around, and it was really Zhu Qi.

Bai Luo smiled and said, "Brother Kuan Yu can't sleep?" ”

Zhu Qi didn't reply, just stood in place.

I saw Bai Luo in front of him, his posture was weak but upright, his skin was like clotted fat, gorgeous and delicate, his eyebrows were blue cheeks, his lips were like peach petals, and he was wearing a white straight jacket, just like the moonlight he had just admired was like smoke and mist on his body.

Bai Luo, like a handsome fairy, appeared behind him without warning and walked towards him from the moonlight.

The people in front of him were dreamlike and beautiful, so that Zhu Qi, who had been accustomed to seeing the beauty of the country in the imperial city since he was a child, was actually in a trance for a while.

Seeing that Zhu Qi didn't react, Bai Luo took a few steps closer and called softly, "Brother Kuanyu? ”

When Zhu Qi saw Bai Luo step forward, his face suddenly turned red as if he was wrapped in a fire, and the fire burned from his face to his heart.

Zhu Qi turned his head unnaturally and didn't look at Bai Luo, but he was sobered up by this fire, twisted his head, and responded in a hoarse voice: "Cough, Brother Hugh." ”

Bai Luo thought that Zhu Qi was fascinated by the moonlight, but he didn't care, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I didn't show my identity to Brother Kuan Yu when I first met, and I ask Brother Kuan Yu to forgive me." ”

Zhu Qi had already sorted out his momentary distraction at this time, and reluctantly regained his usual gentleness, but his voice was still a little hoarse, and said, "Brother Hugh Zheng's words are serious, and I will save it." ”

The two were speechless for a while, and looked at the bright moon in the sky at the same time.

Zhu Qi hesitated for a while, but he didn't look at Bai Luo, he still looked at Mingyue, but said to Bai Luo: "Please forgive Zhu for daring to ask Brother Xiu Zheng if he wants to help the villagers of Shanhai Village?" ”

"Exactly." Bai Luo readily admitted.

At dinner, he had already expressed his intention to come this time in front of Peng Wu and everyone, and at this time, Zhu Qi asked again, Bai Luo naturally would not deny it.

"However, there is no land and no one in this mountain and sea village, the time and place are favorable, and there is no one standing, Brother Hugh Zheng is only afraid that he has the heart but is weak." Zhu Qi frowned, and finally looked down at Bai Luo.

The fields in this Shanhai Village are barren, and they are all old and weak, women and children, and it is located in a remote area, so there is really no place where you can exert your strength.

When Bai Luo heard Zhu Qi's words, his face showed a cunning look, and he said to Zhu Qi with a smile: "Who said that Shanhai Village is useless, didn't Brother Kuan Yu see the golden phoenix in Shanhai Village?" ”
