Chapter 41: The Dissolute Lady (13) “Killing” a Chicken Without Saying a Word…
Cuiming Pavilion, teahouse.
Uncle Xiong looked at the snow-white chicken on the ground. It seemed as if the chicken's IQ had dropped after being baked, and it just liked to sleep. Its snow-white feathers that could not be washed off were really chilling to the sight.
"That woman is truly sinful and full of bad luck. She has brought bad luck upon us too. Now everyone in the city is saying that she is unlucky."
Shopkeeper Chen, standing nearby, stroked his chin expressionlessly as he echoed, "It's certainly unlucky, but who in this city wouldn't say this woman lives as freely and carefree as a man?"
"Let her be cool and carefree, don't let her cause any trouble for us."
Uncle Xiong looked at the snow chicken lying on the ground. The snow chicken was listless with its wings drooping, without any of its former elegance. The mouth that had pecked the girl's buttocks was also lifeless.
This chicken is quite spiritual and cannot be killed. Now that I have picked it up, it has turned snow-white and cannot be used.
"Throw this chicken into the backyard and take good care of it," Uncle Xiong said to the shopkeeper.
The backyard of the teahouse is like a paradise for this teahouse. From a small compartment at the farthest end of the backyard comes a song that seems to be detached from the world, with a feeling of being alienated from the world.
The singer was a beautiful woman. A few years ago, she was pecked on the buttocks by the King of Hell's right-hand men, leaving her buttocks covered in blood. She was considered an unfaithful woman and had no way out, so she had to sing in the teahouse.
At least it's a way out.
Uncle Xiong didn't want to pay any attention to the snow chicken, but the lady's chicken feast was too popular. In a few days, the legend in the town would be sealed. With the new mayor, no one would believe that the children pecked by chickens here were all prodigals, and no one would believe that there were evil people in the legends who could be conquered by chickens. His business would probably be in trouble.
Those bloody chicken heads were the holes through which the woman fought back against the world. It was so creepy.
——
In the He family compound, the He family's big rooster was still awake, staring at the ice sea. His eyes were red with sleepiness, but he still didn't sleep, but kept his eyes wide open, as if he was afraid that the ice sea would run away.
The night was very quiet. After a while, the eldest brother of the He family gently knocked on Liu Binghai's door. He came to give Liu Binghai some quilts for the winter. Although she couldn't use them right now, she had to prepare them early. Her fragile body might not be able to withstand the cold.
Liu Binghai said "Come in", and Datou suddenly raised his head as if startled.
The eldest brother of the He family came in, put down the quilt, and watched Liu Binghai meditating on the bed in the middle of the night.
"I knew you weren't asleep. You were staring blankly in bed most of the night, thinking about something."
Liu Binghai said calmly, "It's nothing. I can't sleep anyway. And you gave me so many things, but I don't have any money to give you."
After saying this, he felt that this was inappropriate and changed his words, "I don't have the money to pay."
Brother He didn't take it seriously. "I didn't intend to take your money. You were busy during the day, and I rarely saw you. I knew that this was the only time I could catch you."
"Is there something wrong?" Liu Binghai asked.
Brother He thought for a moment, then sat down on a small stool nearby. He sighed and said, "These days, you've been running around taking on those unlucky business deals. Do you plan to do this for the rest of your life?"
Liu Binghai said: "It won't last forever, just do it for now, it's not something shameful, there's nothing wrong with it, it's just a bit unlucky."
Brother He said seriously, "It's not like a woman to deal with ghosts and corpses every day."
Liu Binghai laughed, "What's wrong with that? Ghost corpses are simpler and easier to deal with."
Brother He sighed helplessly, "This is not the way to live forever."
Liu Binghai looked at him indifferently and said nothing.
Ever since she moved in, she has caused a lot of trouble to the He family. Big Brother He has been helping her sincerely. Fortunately, he is the only one in the family, otherwise, there is no guarantee that they would not be able to tolerate such an unlucky seed like her.
But... now, is he thinking she's unlucky?
Yes, the He family is not a wealthy family, but they are a respectable family. It is normal for them to have concerns about having such an unlucky person like her living in their house.
She thought that Brother He thought she was unlucky, so she said, "This matter of mine may have caused you a lot of trouble. I will find another place to live tomorrow. Brother He, don't worry."
Brother He said sternly, "Am I such a stingy person?"
Liu Binghai didn't quite understand: "So what do you mean?"
Brother He said seriously, "I think you're not serious about this for the rest of your life. I'm afraid you can't do this for the rest of your life!"
Liu Binghai thought for a moment and asked, "Then what do you think I should do?"
Brother He said, "A woman should quickly find a good family and get married."
Liu Binghai smiled and said, "So Brother He wants me to get married."
"How can a woman stay single for her entire life? How can she not take her own lifelong happiness seriously?"
Liu Binghai could tell that this Brother He truly cared about him and had no distractions. Perhaps he was also thinking of the favor the original owner had done him when he lent him money, so he casually asked, "So, has Brother He already chosen someone for me?"
Before he could finish his words, he saw Big Head howling excitedly, and his two chicken feet jumped on the spot for a long time, like a demon.
Brother He and Liu Binghai looked back at it together.
Brother He said, "I'm looking for a family for her. Why are you so excited? Are you a chicken?"
Is it a chicken after all?
Big Head snorted and looked at Brother He, as if he couldn't wait to become a man.
That's right, it's a rooster, which is a masculine attribute, not to mention that he is now in love.
There was no movement for a long time, Big Head stopped making any noise, and there was a strange smell of vinegar in the air.
Liu Binghai said, "Please let Xiao Mole in."
Brother He was stunned, "What?"
Liu Bingkai said, "Little Mole, I guess you've been hiding outside."
Brother He opened the yard door. Xiao Zhi was leaning against the door and snoring. When he heard the sound of the yard door opening, he opened his eyes slowly and woke up after a long time.
"Come in!" Liu Binghai shouted harshly from a distance.
Xiao Zhi followed Brother He into Liu Binghai's bedroom.
"You three men were haunting my room late at night. Don't you think my reputation is bad enough?"
Little Mole looked around and said, "Sister, don't get me wrong, I am just... huh?"
Three men? Where did they come from? Aren’t there just him and Brother He?
He finally turned around and saw the chicken.
It is reminding others of its existence with its majestic comb.
"What are you doing here?" asked Liu Binghai.
Little Mole sat down next to her and said, "Sister, that chicken is so weird, and you are so weird too. What are you thinking? Tell me."
Liu Binghai glanced at him sideways, "Is that all?"
Little Mole asked, "Is this still a small matter?"
Liu Binghai gave a cold and teasing laugh, "Didn't someone arrange for you to follow me to see if I was having a secret meeting with other men?"
Xiao Mole frowned, "Sister, what did you say!"
Liu Binghai interrupted him, looking at the empty house and sighing, "One of them keeps asking me to meet that legendary lover, and the other is trying to get me married quickly. Do you really think I can't live without a man? Am I really that dependent on a man?"
He Chuanxiong thought she was angry and said, "I don't mean anything else. Don't think too much. I think it's not a good idea for you to work hard for your whole life!"
After saying that, he sat back on the round stool and advised earnestly, "I know what you're thinking. You left the Zhang family with such a bad reputation. You want to get rid of the bad reputation of infidelity and give yourself a clean slate, right? But this reputation is not something you can live on. You are innocent, and that's it. Besides, after leaving the Zhang family, can't you find a good family again?"
Liu Binghai looked down at the floor and thought for a moment, "Brother He, I'm not angry with you. If there's a suitable match, I can consider it."
He Chuanxiong said, "That's good, that's good."
Liu Binghai: "So, Brother He, do you have a favorite candidate?"
He Chuanxiong smiled and said, "The Li family in the alley next door runs a cloth business. Although they only have a silk shop, they are good people. We had dinner a few days ago and they mentioned you."
"Oh?" Liu Binghai raised his eyebrows.
"Li Bingde, the eldest son of the Li family, is not young anymore and has never married. I thought you two might be a good match."
Xiao Zhi was just about to ask who Li Binde was, but before he could open his mouth, he saw the chicken getting so excited that it seemed like it didn't care about its life. Suddenly, it flapped its big wings and trotted over, circling He Chuanxiong several times.
It seemed particularly heartbreaking.
If I keep turning, I'll feel dizzy.
He Chuanxiong frowned, "Big Head, what are you doing!"
I have raised it for so many years, but it never crows or works. It does nothing. Every day it either basks in the sun or stares at the door. Ever since I raised this chicken, I feel like I have raised an ancestor.
"It seems quite excited." said Liu Binghai.
He Chuanxiong said, "It's unruly. Ever since it came into the He family, it's been acting like a master, doing nothing but basking in the sun and eating all day. In the afternoon, it lies on the ground with its legs crossed to gain weight. I don't know if I'm raising a chicken or an ancestor."
Liu Binghai smiled and said, "Big Head looks like an ancestor."
As she was laughing, she suddenly stopped and looked at Datou, "Did you just say it looks like an ancestor?"
"Of course!"
At this time, Big Head was tired of spinning around, and he lay in front of the drifting ice sea in a daze with stars in his eyes.
Liu Binghai smiled intently, leaned forward and stared at it blankly.
"Big Head." She called softly.
She looked into Big Head's eyes, which were filled with tenderness and affection. She reached out and touched its comb, and she felt the comb trembling endlessly. Above the trembling was the expectation and endless joy in Big Head's eyes.
She touched the trembling cockscomb and said, "Is that you..."
Is that you?
Big Head suddenly shook his comb, as if he was too tired from spinning just now. His eyes shook and he fainted.
But everyone thought it was asleep.
The little mole surrounded Liu Binghai and said, "Sister, it fell asleep suddenly."
The next morning, Liu Binghai woke up and found He Chuanxiong was gone. Xiaozhi and Datou were lying on the floor, one lying on the left and the other on the right. Liu Binghai hit Xiaozhi with a pillow to wake him up.
"You've stayed up all night, why don't you go back quickly?"
Little Mole got up and rubbed his eyes. Big Head suddenly shook his comb and woke up.
The first reaction when I woke up was to look towards the drifting ice sea.
Liu Binghai didn't even look at Xiao Zhi, he just grabbed his veil and walked out. Xiao Zhi looked at the cool back and chased after her, shouting, "Sister, where are you going?"
Liu Bingkai said: "Let's go on a blind date."
As expected, Datou finally jumped twice and chased to the gate of the yard. He looked blankly at Liu Binghai's cruel back. Liu Binghai turned around and smiled at him, "Don't follow me."
After saying that, Liu Binghai glanced at Xiao Wei, and he came over smartly to follow her.
