Killing a chicken?

Is it really necessary to make such a big fuss?

Ye Cheng quickly pulled the old woman away.

"No, ma'am, there's no need to kill a chicken. We can just have some vegetables. You said your vegetables are all fresh. We usually eat a lot of meat, so some vegetables will be fine."

"Yes, yes, Auntie, we don't like meat, we just like vegetables." Little Tiger's voice softened, mainly because no one can be fierce to such a polite old lady.

"Go away! Go away! What nonsense are you talking about? You young people, who doesn't like to eat meat? Do you think I'm senile?" Aunt Li said, pointing at the two of them.

After saying that, the old lady pointed to the chicken coop over there.

"Look, these are all chickens I raised, real free-range chickens from the mountains, the kind you can't get in the city."

After saying that, the old lady skillfully opened the chicken coop door and took out the biggest chicken.

"This chicken weighs 5 jin (2.5 catties). I'll make you a big pot to stew it; it'll be delicious."

As she spoke, the old lady went into the room to boil water and kill the chicken. Before going in, she went over and locked the courtyard gate, afraid that Ye Cheng and the others would leave.

Ye Cheng and Xiao Hu sat there, looking at each other, unsure of what to do.

Xiao Hu suddenly lowered his voice and said

"Brother, do you think this old lady might have deliberately left us here so that her sons could come back and kill us?"

Ye Cheng's lips twitched, and a chill ran through his body.

"You watch too many TV dramas, this isn't a horror movie. Aunt Li doesn't seem like a bad person."

"That's hard to say. I've seen those American serial killers before, and they all seemed like nice people on the surface."

Xiao Hu has recently taken a liking to American movies because they are violent and gory.

When the topic of serial killers came up, Xiao Hu suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, then pointed inside.

"Brother, people say they're killing chickens inside. Maybe they're sharpening their knives. Why don't we split up, one outside and one inside? That way we can help each other out if anything happens."

Ye Cheng was originally fine, but Xiao Hu's words made him a little uneasy.

"Okay, okay, you go outside and keep watch. When I call, you call the police."

"Hey bro, I'm going then. I'll climb over this wall so there won't be any noise when I open the door."

After saying that, Xiao Hu took a big gulp of cola, as if he were drinking a farewell toast.

After finishing his drink, he quietly walked to the foot of the courtyard wall, which wasn't high; he could reach it with a slight jump.

Little Tiger jumped, grabbed the hospital wall with both hands, pushed off with both feet, and flipped himself up onto the top of the wall.

"Brother, I'm up here." Xiao Hu gave Ye Cheng an OK sign.

Ye Cheng waved his hand gently, indicating that you should go ahead and do your work.

Xiao Hu nodded and was about to roll down when he heard several furious voices.

What are you doing!

Little Tiger turned his head and exclaimed, "Holy crap!"

The four Zhu brothers have returned.

They glared angrily at the little tiger sitting on the wall, cursing as they rushed over, picking up a few stones along the way.

Xiao Hu was taken aback when he saw this, and quickly turned around and shouted to Ye Cheng.

"Brother, run! They're surrounding us!"

"ah?"

Ye Cheng was startled. "Damn, no way."

However, seeing how anxious Xiaohu was, he didn't dare to delay and sped up to rush towards the courtyard wall.

"Brother, over there, over there! They're rushing over here!" Xiao Hu pointed to the courtyard wall next to them, and Ye Cheng quickly turned and ran in that direction.

Just as I reached the foot of the courtyard wall, I heard Aunt Li's voice coming from inside the courtyard.

"Don't go! Get down here!"

Ye Cheng turned around and his pupils dilated instantly. The old woman, Li, was walking towards him with a bloodstained kitchen knife and bloodstains on her face. Her expression was ferocious.

"Brother, you see, I told you this old lady wasn't a good person. Come on up quickly." Xiao Hu was also quite frightened.

It wasn't that he couldn't beat her, but the thought of the old lady being a psychopathic killer made his legs go weak.

American horror features ugly, muscular men, while Chinese horror is most frightening when it comes to old women. Now, Aunt Li is chasing people with a kitchen knife, which is a fusion of East and West.

Even if you gave Xiaohu ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare to do anything now.

Ye Cheng panicked and jumped up in a few quick movements, then Xiao Hu helped pull him up from above.

"Oh dear, don't run away! Don't run away!" Aunt Li cried out anxiously when she saw the two of them climb over the wall.

At the same time, the Zhu brothers arrived at the door, only to find it locked.

His mother's voice was still frantic inside, and he immediately panicked, pointing to the two people on the wall.

"You three, go and block them, don't let them escape. I'm going to kick down the door and see how Mother is."

After saying that, the two brothers chased after Ye Cheng and his group, cornering them against the wall.

Zhu Liwen then slammed his shoulder against the courtyard gate twice, which caused the gate to open.

As soon as he entered, Zhu Liwen was terrified. His mother was holding a knife and her face was covered in blood. "Mom, what happened to you? Why is your face covered in blood? Did they do this?"

"Damn it, you two actually dared to come up here and bully my mom while we were away! I'll fight you to the death!"

"What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and drag them down!"

With a loud shout from Zhu Liwen, the three brothers didn't wait any longer and jumped up to grab Ye Cheng and Xiao Hu's feet.

The two dodged several times, but the top of the wall was so narrow that it was difficult to dodge.

"Xiao Hu, go down and take them down, then run." Ye Cheng didn't want to hide anymore; he'd just go for it.

"OK!"

Little Tiger seized the opportunity and pounced down, pinning the second and third brothers to the ground.

Ye Cheng did the same thing, jumping down and kicking Lao Si to the ground. The two of them rolled to their feet and ran towards the motorcycle.

Unexpectedly, after running only two steps, Zhu Liwen and Aunt Li chased after them from the yard, blocking their motorcycle behind them. At this moment, the kitchen knife was already in Zhu Liwen's hand.

Ye Cheng considered the situation. He knew he couldn't win with bare hands against a kitchen knife, so he pointed behind him.

"Little Tiger, this way."

"Stop them! Don't let them get away!" Zhu Liwen pointed his cleaver, his face full of murderous intent.

The three Zhu brothers had already stood up, their faces covered in dust and dirt. They were half-squatting, staring at the two men like vicious wolves.

Old grudges remain unresolved, and new hatreds pile up; this conflict is far from over.

Ye Cheng and Xiao Hu had no choice but to take two steps back and lean against the courtyard wall, as they couldn't afford to be attacked from both sides.

"Brother, I told you that old lady wasn't a good person," Xiao Hu said while staring at the Zhu brothers.

Ye Cheng gave a wry smile.

"Damn, how was I supposed to know this old lady was so cunning? No wonder she brought four sons like that with her."

He quietly put his hand behind his back and started fumbling for his phone, preparing to call the police from behind and buy himself some time. As for whether the police would arrive, that was up to fate.
