Chapter 66 There are rare birds at home
Qibao got up from his seat, walked to Ye Jinyu's side, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Mr. may have something, he won't come today, why don't we go play now?" β
Ye Jinyu glanced at the books on the table and then at Qibao, thinking that he was right, so he said, "Then wait until I finish the bookcase before leaving." β
"Okay, I'll wait for you outside." Shippo picked up his bookcase and ran out of the room.
Ye Jinyu came outside but didn't see Qibao's figure for a long time, and was about to look for him when a dark shadow suddenly ran out from the left. Before he could get scared, he saw Shippo leaning his whole face over.
Qibao looked at Ye Jinyu in surprise and asked, "Why are you so calm?" β
"You came out so fast, you ran out before I could react." Ye Jinyu was also helpless.
Qibao scratched his head and muttered, "But those little brothers of mine were all startled by me, could it be that you are braver than them?" β
Saying that, he looked his eyes up and down at Ye Jinyu, only to see Ye Jinyu also looking back at him, Qibao retracted his eyes thoughtfully, stretched out his hand and bumped his shoulder and said, "Let's go, go play." β
"No, I'll have to go back and put the bookcase first." The books in Ye Jinyu's bookcase are all treasures, although many of them have been crumpled by him, but he likes them all.
"Then I'll go back with you." Qibao doesn't care about such things as bookboxes, anyway, no matter where the bookbox is placed, no one will take it away.
Ye Jinyu and Qibao passed by a river, and across the river was the back mountain where there were rumors of black chickens, Qibao looked up at the high mountain that could not be seen at a glance, and muttered, "This mountain is really high." β
"This mountain is the highest in our village." Ye Jinyu echoed beside him. Yesterday he and his sister climbed this mountain, but they were too tired to do it.
Qibao coughed and said mysteriously, "Why are you so calm? Haven't you heard rumors in the village? Someone found a black bird in the mountains, the kind of bird with snow-white feathers but dark skin. β
"That's a black chicken." Ye Jinyu corrected.
"That's not a chicken, it's a bird." It was the first time that Qibao had refuted a matter so seriously, but Ye Jinyu had sufficient answers to prove that although the thing looked like a bird, it was indeed a chicken.
"If it's a bird, it can fly." Ye Jinyu talked seriously, "But it can't fly." β
Qibao said with a blank face: "I have never seen a black bird, I have only heard some seniors say that the black bird really can't fly?" So why call birds? β
Seeing Qibao's thirsty look, Ye Jinyu thought for a while and proposed, "I have a black bird at home, why don't you go to my house to have a look." β
"Eboni? Do you have a black bird in your house? Qibao looked at Ye Jinyu stupidly, and then vetoed, "No, no, no, the black bird is too difficult to catch, do you have a book about the black bird at home?" β
Ye Jinyu smiled incomprehensibly, without denial or affirmation.
Although Qibao didn't have to work hard to study, he was still very interested when he heard something strange.
They walked forward while chatting, and after a while, a low dilapidated small house appeared in front of them, for Ye Jinyu, although this house was dilapidated, it was a warm home.
He took the bookcase off his back, knocked on the door, and shouted, "Sister, I'm back!" β
But after a long time, there was no movement inside, Ye Jinyu frowned, and thought: Sister won't have taken out the black chicken and sold it now.
Qibao looked at Ye Jinyu with the bookcase on his back, and said blankly: "What's wrong?" Why don't you go in, you can't get in with the door locked inside? β
Ye Jinyu looked pensive and said, "This matter is a bit hanging. β
An eight-year-old child, the expression on his face was unexpectedly serious, as if someone had stolen something from him, Qibao couldn't help but be happy when he saw it: "Hahaha, you and my brother are like, every time I steal his food, he always has this expression." β
Ye Jinyu turned her head to look at him and said in a deep voice, "The black bird may have been sold by my sister." β
Qibao thought that Ye Jinyu was talking about the book of the black bird, so he simply waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's just a book about the black bird, when the time comes, I will go to the bookstore in the town to look for it, maybe I can find it." β
Ye Jinyu sighed, she didn't want to explain anything, after all, now the black chickens are gone.
"Jinyu, why don't you go in?" Ye Jinyan stood behind them with a wooden basin and suddenly asked.
Ye Jinyu's eyes lit up, and she ran to Ye Jinyan and said excitedly: "Sister, why are you still here?" Didn't you go to the town to sell black chickens? β
"Who told you you were going to the town to sell? Didn't I say that I sold it in the village? β
There are also many rich people in the village, and they should be able to sell for a good price. The main thing is that it takes too much time to get to town, and she doesn't want to waste it and doesn't bother to move.
Ye Jinyu knew that the black chicken had not been sold, and there was a joy that could not be hidden between his eyebrows, he stretched out his hand and pulled Qibao's sleeve, and asked Ye Jinyan: "Sister, can I take Qibao to see the black chicken?" β
Ye Jinyan's gaze swirled back and forth between Ye Jinyu's face and Qibao's face.
Qibao was frightened enough by Ye Jinyan because of the previous incident, and he couldn't look directly at Ye Jinyan normally until now, he buried his head and vaguely heard the word black chicken, but he didn't hear it so clearly.
Ye Jinyan immediately agreed: "Go ahead, don't let it run." β
"Hmm!" Ye Jinyu smiled, and didn't bother to take care of the bookcase and pull Qibao in.
Qibao's bookcase had time to be carried well, and it was shaken upside down by Ye Jinyu all the way.
"You...... YouβWhat are you going to show me?" Qibao is now in a state of chaos, and he didn't understand the conversation between Ye Jinyu and Ye Jinyan just now.
Ye Jinyu smiled and said, "Of course, I took you to see the black chicken." β
Qibao was stunned and asked, "That's not the one who wrote about black chickens...... Bah... The book of the black bird. β
Ye Jinyu still didn't explain as always, but replied: "You will know when you see it." β
Qibao looked at the back of Ye Jinyu's head, his mind spun around, and gradually figured out everything. This guy wouldn't really have a black bird at home, in fact, there is nothing wrong with thinking so, after all, Ye Jinyu told him at the beginning that he was taking him to see the black bird.
"Are you raising a black chicken or a black bird?" He's obviously a little confused now.
"You all call it a black bird, but it does look exactly like a chicken." Ye Jinyu said without looking back.
Shippo staggered after him, he opened his mouth, and completely turned the black bird into a black chicken, "...... What do you say this black chicken eats? Is it really like a chicken? β
Ye Jinyu shook her head: "I don't know." β
The black chicken stayed at his house for a day, struggling vigorously, let alone feeding food, and couldn't even touch it.
Qibao followed behind Ye Jinyu with a stomach full of doubts, and it wasn't until Ye Jinyu showed him the real black chicken that his eyes suddenly lit up.
There was a tattered basket next to the water tank in Ye Jinyu's courtyard, and under the basket was a snow-white and plump ...... Chicken.
