Chapter 218 What else could it be? Did you hatch it?
Yan Sui, unaware of what was going on, looked at the newcomers and keenly noticed that they were all staring at the chicken in Fu Yansheng's hand.
She subtly gave him a wink, signaling him to release the chicken first.
The old lady's eyes could kill.
Fu Yansheng nodded and put the chicken, which was on the verge of death, back in his hand.
Yan Sui withdrew her regretful gaze. Neither the king nor the prince spoke. Why couldn't they be killed?
Meanwhile, Min Zhi had already accompanied Professor Xiao and the others to study the Big King and Little King.
Professor Xiao adjusted his glasses, his face revealing his excitement.
"It really is a brown eared pheasant!"
A group of people stood around the chicken coop, and Yan Sui could see the caution on their faces, so she couldn't help but wonder what was going on in her mind.
"You're here to buy chickens from me? I don't sell these."
She hasn't even tried it herself yet.
Min Zhi hurriedly said, "Miss Yan, we did come for these chickens, but not to buy them. May I ask where these chickens came from?"
Yan Sui pointed at the two children, Da Wang and Xiao Wang, who were beating their child in the nest.
"I went up the mountain to pick wild vegetables..."
"So you caught them and brought them back?" a patrolman nearby chimed in.
Yan Sui scoffed, "Why bring them back? We can't eat them, and we have to treat them like phoenixes. Do you know how much they can eat? They eat so many of my vegetables every day."
Professor Xiao adjusted his glasses. "You mean, all these brown eared pheasants followed you home from the mountain?"
"Who said all of them? There are only two. King and Queen, come out and let them see."
As soon as Yan Sui spoke, the two kings seemed to understand and took two steps forward with great strides.
Professor Xiao exclaimed, "Truly heroic and extraordinary."
Min Zhi stared at them, “They have such a domineering and majestic aura.”
The staff members standing nearby all praised it.
"The King of Chickens!"
"With its combination of domineering and gorgeous colors, this natural military uniform cannot be replicated no matter how much money you have."
"This is my first time observing brown eared pheasants up close, it was definitely worth the trip!"
Yan Sui: "?"
Are they talking about these two gluttonous, lazy, and fighting chickens?
What kind of chickens are they?
“Brown eared pheasant!” Min Zhi quickly replied, “Miss Yan, you probably don’t know, but the brown eared pheasant is a Class I protected animal in China!”
Yan Sui's face was blank, and she was even somewhat speechless.
How can such a gluttonous animal, capable of laying eggs, become a protected species?
However, both the king and the prince do enjoy beating children, and they are particularly cruel.
If it weren't for her supervision, eight out of ten chicks would have been beaten to death.
Min Zhi walked up to her and asked, "Miss Yan, these two came back with you. What about the other brown eared pheasants?"
Yan Sui: "The king laid an egg, it might have laid an egg."
Min Zhi: "..."
This doesn't seem to be the same species as the brown eared pheasant she knew.
The ranger looked incredulous. "You don't mean to say that all these brown eared pheasants were hatched by it, do you?"
Yan Sui raised an eyebrow. "Otherwise, did you hatch it?"
Min Zhi burst out laughing.
The ranger, enraged, retorted, "Do you even know how the brown eared pheasant became endangered? They are naturally aggressive, often abandon their nests, and it's impossible for them to hatch so many chicks in such a short time!"
Yan Sui clicked her tongue. "Captive breeding and wild animals, how can they be the same? Believe it or not, it's up to you."
Professor Xiao glanced at the patrolman and gestured for him to shut up.
Then he went up to talk to Yan Sui.
"Ms. Yan, you need to cooperate with our official investigation regarding these brown eared pheasants, since it is illegal to privately keep wild protected animals."
Yan Sui put her hands in her pockets and said, "Okay, whatever you want to investigate, I'll cooperate."
After Professor Xiao spoke, the forestry bureau staff also chimed in, "We need to take these brown eared pheasants with us."
Yan Sui frowned, naturally unwilling.
She raised them for so long to get them this big.
There's still a nest of eggs in the henhouse that haven't hatched yet.
"What law did I break? They came home with me on their own, and I couldn't get rid of them. I still have the video recordings from that time. I raised them all these years and hatched so many chicks. Now you're telling me I broke the law?"
Min Zhi quickly tried to smooth things over: "Ms. Yan, Professor Xiao didn't mean that. We are very grateful for your efforts for these brown eared pheasants, but they are wild animals and do not belong to anyone. We are just doing our job to help them return to nature."
She recalled the scene of Yan Sui wielding a knife earlier; if they had arrived even a moment later, the chicken would have been in grave danger.
Yan Sui pursed her lips, "Are you going to put them back?"
Min Zhi nodded, "After observing them, we will release them back into nature."
It's unheard of for so many chicks to hatch in such a short time. They need to study it before putting them back.
Yan Sui pondered for a moment, then her gaze fell on the king.
She didn't seem to have the right to object.
"Fine, take it if you want."
That way, she won't have to feed the chickens every day.
Yan Sui's willingness to cooperate saved them a lot of work.
They brought cages with them when they came, just enough to put them all in.
The smaller ones were alright, but the big and little kings struggled for a long time, and even stared at Yan Sui as they left.
Yan Sui looked at the empty chicken coop and sighed silently. After all, she had raised them for so long.
Fu Yansheng patted her shoulder, "If you're so reluctant to leave, why don't you sleep here tonight?"
Yan Sui rolled her eyes at him. "If you want to sleep, you can sleep by yourself. I'm not sleeping in a chicken coop."
She snorted and turned to leave.
His interruption eased my frustration a bit.
"All good things must come to an end, let's just forget about it."
Nothing can be promised forever, and Yan Sui has always been open-minded about it.
All the chickens were taken away, so she had to catch two free-range chickens from the orchard.
The free-range chickens raised in her orchard have firm meat and are delicious whether steamed or stewed, with no fishy smell at all.
When Yan Shunzhong first started raising chickens, he worried for a long time about finding a market for them.
Later they discovered that there simply weren't enough to go around.
The villages near Changqing Village alone can help her sell a lot of her produce.
After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, Yan Sui chatted with the elderly folks for a long time before heading home, when it was already dark.
Fu Yansheng accompanied her for a leisurely stroll around the fields before taking her home.
The man stood there, watching her go inside.
Yan Sui turned to look at him; his tall figure disappeared into the darkness, making him appear even more mysterious and unpredictable.
She rolled her eyes and winked at him.
"Won't you come in and have a seat?"
Fu Yansheng curled his lips and reminded her in a low voice, "Miss Yan, no one would wear slippers to seduce a man."
Yan Sui: "..."
Look at the mess this has made.
"Is wearing high heels okay?"
"No." A curt refusal.
"Unless we get a marriage certificate."
Yan Sui stood on the steps, hands on her hips, glaring at him.
"Mr. Fu, this is a new era, your thinking is too conservative!"
Fu Yansheng remained expressionless as he stood below, watching her.
It was as if she could indulge in everything except this one thing.
Yan Sui pouted, resigning herself to her fate.
Who told her to be attracted to his looks? It wasn't the first time she'd known he was conservative.
