As the sky gradually brightened, the big rooster raised in the backyard began to stretch its neck and crow.
Xiao Bai's father was born in the Year of the Rooster, and he particularly loved raising chickens, especially roosters. As far back as Xiao Bai could remember, his family had always kept roosters. And for some reason, the chickens Xiao's father raised were incredibly ferocious and ruthless, pecking at anyone they caught! Their fighting prowess was so strong that anyone who saw them was terrified.
Xiao Bai was fearless since he was a child except for the rooster. The rooster was really ferocious. It could fly up and hit people over the head with one leap.
I still remember that when Xiao Bai was a child, every time he went out to school, when he passed by the chicken coop, he would tiptoe carefully and run quickly to the gate when the big rooster was not paying attention. Once the big rooster found him, it would chase him and peck him.
When Xiao Bai was little, he was pecked by the rooster several times, making him cry loudly. Later, in order to make the rooster run slower, Xiao's father tied worn-out straw sandals to the rooster's feet. But even this couldn't stop the rooster's pecking heart. It would drag a pair of size 39 straw sandals after Xiao Bai's butt, chasing him wildly, making Xiao Bai run and scream for his mother!
Later, when Xiao Bai grew up a little, she started fighting with the rooster! Every time she went out and passed by the chicken coop, she would find a very long stick, then hold the stick in both hands, face the big rooster in the chicken coop, and then move towards the gate little by little.
Every time this happened, the big rooster would jump out of the chicken coop as if it had met an opponent, run in front of Xiao Bai, lower its head with a tall comb, stare at Xiao Bai with its two big black eyes, raise its butt high, and scratch rhythmically with its two claws, ready to jump up and peck at Xiao Bai when he is not paying attention.
Little Xiao Bai also has experience in fighting wits and courage with the big rooster. At this time, you must not be afraid when facing the big rooster. As long as you show a scared expression, it will immediately fly up and peck you. What you need to do at this time is to remain absolutely calm and focused.
Once you see the rooster jump up, immediately swing a stick at it and knock its head off. Then you can go out safely. If you don't have a stick, don't worry, just kick the rooster when it jumps up.
This big rooster loved pecking people, no matter who they were. Even Xiao's mother was deeply hurt by it. She was pecked by it while feeding it. Later, the big rooster that was particularly good at pecking people and didn't care about anyone's account ended up in Xiao Bai's stomach during the Chinese New Year.
A rooster went, and then another flock of roosters arrived. The chickens raised by Xiao's father seemed to be poisonous. Every time he bought chicks and hens, there were very few, and they were all roosters. Another time, Xiao's father bought ten chicks, and when they grew up, there were actually seven roosters. And each of the roosters loved to peck people. Little Xiao Bai grew up in the shadow of the roosters, and she had a shadow on chickens.
"Dad, the chicken we have now won't peck people, right?" Xiao Bai just went down the stairs and saw her father feeding chickens in the yard. She was subconsciously afraid of the big, shiny rooster.
"Don't worry, this big rooster is very docile." Xiao's father also knew Xiao Bai's concerns and took the initiative to explain: "The few roosters we raised before that pecked people were killed and eaten. This one doesn't peck, so we kept it to crow."
Xiao Bai was skeptical. She clearly saw that when Xiao's father said that the big roosters that pecked people were slaughtered and eaten, the big rooster's neck suddenly shrank a lot.
Xiao Bai raised his eyebrows. Could this chicken have become a spirit?!
"If you don't go to the ancestral hall now, you will be late, and the village chief will punish you with a stick!" Father Xiao put away the feed and said to Yuesheng.
"What about that guy from yesterday?" Yuesheng asked anxiously, "Are we really going to let him live in our house forever?"
Father Xiao waved his hand nonchalantly and said as he packed his things, "Don't worry, I'll take good care of your mother."
Xiao Bai:??? I told you to keep an eye on that man, not my mom!
Xiao Bai pursed her lips speechlessly and rode her small bicycle with her bag on her back. She had to hurry to the ancestral hall. The village chief's stick was no joke. She didn't know what had happened to the village chief. When they were in elementary school, the village chief liked to spank their hands. Now that the village chief no longer teaches, he still has to teach them in his old age. Now, it's good, he has even upgraded to beating with a stick. Sigh~
Yuesheng stepped into the ancestral hall at the last moment and sat down in his seat. As soon as his butt touched the stool, he heard the village chief's signature "thump thump" sound as he walked with his cane.
Everyone quickly put the books on the table and sat up straight. Most of the people here were students of the village chief when they were young and had been suppressed by the village chief's soul.
"How's everyone's understanding of the secret manual these past few days? Have you memorized everything in the book?"
The village chief picked out a few names and checked the recitation tasks assigned a few days ago. Several young men with dyed hair were the village chief's special focus and were called up for spot checks every day.
Xiao Bai has been a good student since she was a child, and she has her own way of dealing with teachers. She dresses neatly and cleanly, does not dye her hair or wear makeup, and listens attentively in class. The village chief has always been more at ease with obedient good students, so she can avoid a lot of extra "care" from the village chief.
Huangmao and others who are always taken care of by the village chief are friends from the same village, but it is better to let a friend die than to let me die!
The village chief was obviously quite satisfied with this random check. Huangmao and others probably knew that they were receiving special treatment, so they would try their best to recite next time.
"Well, although you may not understand the meaning of this book yet, and haven't officially embarked on the path of cultivation, your aptitude is there, so there's nothing we can do. After all, not every pig has the awareness that they are pigs. We can only start early and work harder. They say that reading a book a hundred times will reveal its meaning. If you memorize this book, you will naturally understand its meaning."
The village chief stroked his beard and spoke to the students while shaking his head.
Students who felt they were not only scolded but also made fools of: ·······
Dare not move, dare not move.
The village chief walked back to the podium and took out five small, shiny, crystal-like stones from his pocket. He placed the stones on the table and said to everyone, "Next, each of you come up and recite the entire text. The best reciter will receive a reward."
Those who originally thought they had avoided today's recitation task were suddenly dumbfounded. Everyone pushed and shoved each other and no one wanted to go first. In the end, they could only go one by one according to the order of their seats.
Finally, I finished reciting everything. Before the class ended, the village chief gave me another special instruction: "Don't leave the village too much these days. Don't run around curiously. Stay home and copy the book for me ten times. Okay, get out of class is dismissed."
As soon as he finished speaking, there were sounds of people gasping for breath in the ancestral hall.
He is indeed the most oppressive village chief since childhood!
