Hearing that it was really his own mother, Ye Qian's tense strings relaxed, and then hurriedly knocked on the door, wanting to wake up his father.

When the sleepy-eyed Ye Guocheng stood at the gate, he saw two chicken shadows the size of a human head twitching on the ground and making strange noises, he was also startled, and turned around and asked, "What is this?" ”

Ye Qian smiled, this was all scared, and if he changed to the state of his own mother just now, he couldn't scare out all the urine. Although he thought so in his heart, Ye Qian also knew that now was not the time for jokes, and immediately said: "At this time, our chicken, my mother just said that this will not work, it may be for you to think of a way." ”

As he said this, a strange shadow appeared from the opposite side again. Ye Guocheng only glanced at it, returned to the living room in an instant, and closed the door with his hand, this action was extremely fast, and he couldn't see the old state of being around fifty years old at all, and Ye Qian was stunned.

"Dad! That's my mom! Ye Qian explained.

"Your mother?"

Ye Guocheng asked, frowning, and before he could confirm it, Liu Huixian's shout had already come from outside the door: "The surname is Ye, are you itching?" ”

Hearing this, the stone hanging in Ye Guocheng's heart fell to the ground instead. He pulled the door open and asked, "You look so scary!" What happened here? ”

Liu Huixian explained: "I got up at night and heard the sound of the chicken pen, so I came over to take a look. Alas! It was so miserable that more than a dozen chickens were all bitten. There are two big black dogs and three tanuki cats, and they can't catch up at all. You two look for flashlights, and if you are seriously injured, you will bleed them and give them a good time. If the injury is light, go get some medicinal powder to sprinkle, and you can save a life. ”

After speaking, Liu Huixian put down the chicken in her hand, and turned around and went to the chicken pen on the side of the old house opposite.

Ye Guocheng looked at the four twitches on the ground, and instructed Ye Qiandao: "You go find medicine!" I went to get a knife and a flashlight. With that, he went into the kitchen.

Ye Qian took out a small household medicine box from the cabinet under his TV, and rummaged in it for a long time, full of cold medicine. The situation was urgent, and Ye Qian took a box of amoxicillin capsules.

Father and son, one with a flashlight, the other holding a chicken and turning over the feathers, the two cooperated tacitly. 、

The chicken didn't know whether it was frightened, or if it was too injured and lost too much blood, but it didn't struggle in Ye Guocheng's hands, and let him pull up the feathers.

Under the light of the flashlight, Ye Qian's scalp was numb. The first chicken's neck was bitten in half, the esophagus drooped, and blood dripped down the tube like a curtain bead. Ye Guocheng shook his head and said, "My neck is gone, I can't live." Give you a ride! As he spoke, he picked up the kitchen knife with one hand, stabbed it again in the direction of the trachea, and then turned it upside down, and the blood flowed out like an unclosed faucet, and after a few seconds, the chicken struggled twice and stopped moving.

Ye Guocheng picked up the second chicken and leaned into the strong light of the flashlight, pulled out his wings, and the chicken fart. There are two transverse openings in the thighs, which are supposed to be caused by sharp teeth penetrating the flesh. Then he turned forward, and in the center of his back, a large piece of chicken skin disappeared, and chicken blood was oozing from under the flesh, densely filled with blood spots, and then gathered into large beads and rolled down from the side.

Turning the chicken from top to bottom with both hands, Ye Guocheng said: "This guy has these two injuries, which are not fatal, it seems that he can live and take medicine!" ”

Ye Qian didn't dare to delay, so he quickly put the flashlight in the squeaky nest and clamped it, broke open the amoxicillin capsule with both hands, and sprinkled the white powder inside on the two wounds as evenly as possible.

After finishing this one, Liu Huixian has already gone back and forth from the chicken pen twice, and brought four more chickens.

The father and son finished one after another, and they were busy for nearly an hour. Thirteen chickens were lying on the ground, seven were completely out of breath, and six were still making cooing sounds, and the ground was covered with chicken blood.

Liu Huixian looked at this mess and sighed: "What kind of sin has been created!" ”

Ye Guocheng turned around and entered the house and said, "Xiaoqian, go to sleep!" Huixian, you go boil water, I'll pour boiling water first and dispose of these seven dead ones. ”

Ye Qian looked at the chickens on the ground that were still twitching from time to time, and then looked at his mother's chicken feathers and chicken blood, and wanted to say two words of comfort, but he couldn't say anything. He felt that this thing happened very strangely, it stands to reason that the village has dogs and cats for a day or two, why don't you bite early or late, but tonight to bite, and cats and dogs work together, as if they were agreed.

wanted to find some scientific explanation, but no matter what Ye Qian thought, he couldn't find the slightest excuse. This thing, it seems, there is nothing to explain except the Shinto statement.

Ye Qian lay on the bed, took a deep breath, and went through the scenes of returning home after resigning from the beating in his mind, and with the second uncle's fierce rhetoric, an inexplicable pressure came out of thin air, and he couldn't sleep anymore.

Early the next morning, Ye Qian got up with panda eyes, and as soon as he opened the bedroom door, he smelled the smell of chicken wafting from the kitchen. When I was a child, this treatment had to be eaten during the New Year's holidays, and when I could eat a meal of meat, the whole family was happy.

But today's meat, the whole family is uncomfortable.

Feeling the depressing atmosphere, Ye Qian said: "It's just an accident, it's time for our chicken pen to be retrimmed." After trimming it, just buy the chicks again. ”

After Ye Qian finished speaking, Ye Guocheng and Liu Huixian did not talk.

After a while, Ye Guocheng said: "After eating, Xiaoqian, you wash the floor in front of the door, Huixian, you call your second brother, tell him what happened at night, and see if he has any way to crack it." According to this trend, the first night there will be dead chickens, the second night may be dead pigs, and the third night may be people. I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on to him coming back. ”

Ye Qian frowned when he heard this. "Dad, what are you talking about! A few chickens died, all by accident. The chickens are too small to fight cats, dogs, weasels and the like. The pig is so big, even if the wolf dog comes, it may not be able to fight the pig, let alone bite to death. You're thinking too much! It's the 21st century, and if you want to talk about science and logic in everything, I don't believe that there will be cats and dogs coming tonight and they will be able to bite all my pigs. ”

The reason why Ye Qian said this was just to calm the old man's heart. Of course, what he said is also true, not to mention two dogs and three cats, even if they are all replaced by dogs and thrown into the pigsty one-on-one, dogs are not necessarily pigs' opponents.

The experience of being a child made Ye Qian deeply touched by the attack power of pigs. When he was six or seven years old, he went to his grandmother's house, which is Baishui Village. In the 90s, Baishui Village was still very backward, surrounded by deep mountains and old forests, and many people in the village liked to hunt. Ye Qian's second uncle hadn't been a fortune teller at that time, so he got two air guns to wander around the mountains and forests all day long.
