The thin man nodded and said, "That's right." ”

After a while, he asked again, "Then again, do your adoptive parents know where your hometown is?" ”

I shook my head: "You see their attitude towards me. If you had known where my hometown was, you would have sent me back a long time ago, and would you have raised me for so many years? ”

The thin man scratched his head: "That's really a problem." Otherwise, let's ask your adoptive parents and adoptive parents to see where they got you from, and then follow the vine and find it all the way. ”

I nodded: "It seems like that's all there is to it." ”

The abbot said with a hippie smile: "Grandma's." Why did you go around and around and help Xu You find relatives? ”

I didn't have time to talk to them, and after dinner, a few of us began to wander around the living room with nothing to do.

Wushuang said boredly: "Xu You, when will your parents come back?" ”

I looked at my watch, and it wasn't even noon. I said, "It's probably going to be after work in the evening." ”

Handsless waved a peachwood sword around the room: "It's going to take so long." I'm suffocating to death in your house. It's so small that you can touch someone else when you turn around. ”

The abbot also added oil and vinegar and said, "That's it." Now I feel more and more that it is better for us to be in Dasheng Village. Big and spacious place. ”

I waved my hand: "Alright, alright." Let me take you out for a walk and see the demeanor of our Henan people. ”

Anyway, we didn't have much to do at home, so we slowly walked outside.

Our family stayed in a bit out of the way. A few of us walked a few steps, but we didn't see anything interesting.

Suddenly, Wushuang pointed to the front and said, "What are those people doing?" ”

We looked up and saw a lot of people gathered in a park, not knowing what they were looking at.

We squeezed into the innermost. Two chickens were found inside. One black and one white, the fight is fierce.

The people around them gathered on both sides, watching with relish.

I said to Wushuang next to me, "It's not interesting. It's just cockfighting, I used to seeing it when I was a child. ”

I'm used to it, it doesn't necessarily mean that I'm used to it. She grabbed me with interest: "Don't go." Look at it for a moment. ”

I had no choice but to stay, and I didn't look at the two chickens at a glance. I looked at it for a while, and gradually I realized that something was wrong.

There are two chickens, one black and one white. The white feathers are neat, and the body is majestic, and it is very powerful. And the black one is a little weak, and I don't know if it's a long fight or what's going on, and the neck has been worn out of hair. Compared to the white chicken, this black chicken is simply a beggar on the street.

However, in the case of such a huge difference in strength. The black rooster actually had the upper hand. Its body is not as big as the white rooster, and it can't stop the white rooster from colliding. But it's fast, and it often dodges at the last moment.

And its mouth is very ruthless, once the white chicken is pecked by it, it will definitely lose a piece of meat.

A moment later, the white rooster lost all its feathers, was bloodied, and was defeated.

A bald old man said triumphantly: "Take the money, take the money." ”

The defeated old man reluctantly took out the money, and said while counting the money: "Your chicken has been hard for dozens of games in a row, isn't it tired?" ”

The bald old man said ostentatiously, "Can my chicken be the same as yours?" I'm made of steel. Nine dogs give birth to a mastiff, and ten chickens give birth to a phoenix. ”

The defeated old man walked out of the circle and said unhappily: "Look at your pride." A chicken is a chicken, and a phoenix is returned. Brag unblushingly. ”

Wushuang suddenly pointed to the chicken and said, "So fun? What is it doing? ”

I turned my head to see the chicken lying on the ground. is grinding its mouth.

Seeing that the old man of the cockfight is gone. The bald old man then showed off to a few of us: "My chicken has spirituality. It knows that it has to compete every day, and if it doesn't win, it will be killed by me and eat meat, so it works hard. ”

I couldn't help but be stunned when I looked at the tired fighting lying on the ground and rubbing its mouth all the time.

At this time, the thin man said: "Uncle, you can raise this kind of chicken, it's very powerful." ”

The bald old man said triumphantly, "Then you still need to talk?" Every day, this chicken's hard money is enough for me to eat and drink. To be honest, it's not me who raises it, it's it that raises me. ”

The bald old man said this, took out the cage behind him, and hurried to put the chicken inside. While pretending, he said: "This chicken fights all day long, and the murderous spirit is too heavy." I didn't dare to catch it with my hands, or I would have to peck it off. If one day, I don't want to raise it, and want to kill it for meat, I'm afraid I will have to let it stay in peace, spend a while, and wait until it completely forgets that it is a fighting before doing it. ”

Seeing that the bald old man had already put the chicken in the cage, he was about to take it away. The thin man stepped forward, stopped him and asked, "I heard you say just now that nine dogs give birth to a mastiff, and ten chickens give birth to a phoenix." Don't know what that means? ”

The bald old man said happily, "You young man is very interesting." I've been fighting cocks here for many years, and I've often boasted with this phrase, and no one has ever taken it seriously, and they all think I'm bragging, and you're the first to ask me so seriously. However, I can't tell you how I will win in the future if I am taught by you. How else to make a fortune with this chicken? ”

The thin man said: "I'm a foreigner, it's impossible to fight cocks here, I'm just interested just now, so just ask." ”

The bald old man cautiously asked, "Are you from out of town?" Didn't lie to me? ”

The thin man nodded: "Of course." I am from Shaanxi. Then he learned two sentences of Shaanxi dialect.

The bald old man nodded and said, "It's okay if you're not a local." For the sake of you chatting with the old man for a while, for the sake of relieving my boredom, I will tell you. ”

The thin man nodded and smiled, "I'll listen." ”

The bald old man sat on a park bench, escaped from his pocket with cornseeds, and while teasing and feeding the chicken, he said, "The so-called nine dogs come out of a mastiff." I'm sure you've heard of it. Nine puppies, born to one mother. Keep them in a cage. Let them fight each other. The weak were bitten to death, drank blood and ate meat. The one who is strong and healthy will survive and eventually survive is the mastiff. ”

The thin man nodded: "This seems to be a bit similar to raising Gu." Several poisonous insects were kept together, allowing them to kill each other, and the last one to survive was Gu. ”

The bald old man nodded and said, "Yes, that's what it means." As for ten chickens and one phoenix, it is completely nonsense from the old man. A phoenix is such a noble thing, I'm afraid there won't be one out of tens of thousands of chickens. However, it is possible to have a fighting like me. At the beginning, I was also a cockfighting enthusiast, and I fought cocks in the park with these old men, and I won and lost. At that time, it was just a fun. Then one day, I suddenly thought, why not choose the best chicken according to the method of the Tibetan mastiff? So I bought a lot of little cocks to train them, keep them together, and let them fight each other. As a result, it lived up to expectations. Did you see my black chicken? If someone hadn't stopped it just now, it would have pecked the white chicken to death. ”

The old man said this, lifting the chicken coop from the chair. Stood up and staggered away.

He took two steps, suddenly turned around, and smiled at us: "Among you, there is a fighting, but after a long time, that ruthlessness has worn out. I think it won't be long before someone will be killed and eaten for meat. ”

After saying this, he walked away without looking back.

A few of us heard what he was saying and hurried after him.

However, at this time a bus came. The bald old man lifted his legs and got into the car and left.

The abbot looked at the butt of the car that was braving the black rock and said, "How does he know that I am a fighting cock?" ”

The thin man said with a gloomy face: "Forget it, people are talking about Xu You." ”

I looked at him inexplicably: "He's talking about me?" How do you know? ”

The thin man said, "When we just gathered around, he was watching you as if he were nothing." If you want to know who he is, I think it's best to start with him. ”

I said anxiously, "Since you know this, why didn't you stop him just now?" ”

The thin man said helplessly: "Do you think I don't want to keep him?" I can't keep it. This old man looks ordinary on the surface, but he seems to be able to see through my heart, and whenever I want to make a move, he emits a powerful momentum that makes me speechless. ”
