Chapter 197 Why is he gone?
Chen Xingnong Yue put away the sword.
Wu Yong didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Why didn't you tell me earlier that you wanted chicken? You made me think you were here to rob me!"
"You think we're robbers?" The villagers laughed. "We're not bandits! Besides, even the bandits from Black Eagle Village have turned over a new leaf. The surrounding area is very safe!"
Wu Yong clasped his fists and said, "It turned out to be a misunderstanding. We don't want the chicken. The chicken is yours."
"Okay, okay!" Everyone stared at him more eagerly.
Wu Yong then remembered that the chicken that frightened the young master to death was still in the carriage.
"Wait a moment, I'll catch the chicken for you." Wu Yong turned around and lifted the car curtain.
Ah, cluck!
The chicken that had been hiding in the carriage flapped its powerful wings and flew out, flying over everyone's heads.
"Catch it!" The villagers waved their weapons.
The human-chicken war has begun again.
Wu Yong had no intention of watching the fight. As soon as he returned to the carriage, Zhou Huaining woke up and said excitedly, "Sir, am I dreaming? It felt like a chicken jumped on me just now!"
"Master, the chicken has been taken away."
Zhou Huaining flared his nose, "No wonder it smells like chicken poop. Change your clothes."
Wu Yong lifted the cushion at a corner of the carriage, dragged out a large box, and took out clean clothes from the box.
Zhou Huaining stretched out his hand, and Chen Xingnongyue helped him change clothes on his left and right.
Zhou Huaining half closed his eyes and said, "Wu Yong, go out and ask around to find out whether Senior Brother is in Heihe Village."
"Master, I've already inquired..." Wu Yong hesitated to speak.
Zhou Huaining opened his eyes excitedly, leaned forward, and stood in front of Wu Yong, "Tell me quickly, is Senior Brother here or not?!"
Wu Yong's eyes were slightly red. "Master, Mr. Zhao is in Heihe Village..."
"What are we waiting for? Let's go into the village immediately!" Zhou Huaining was extremely excited.
"Master, but Lord Zhao is gone..."
Zhou Huaining was stunned. "Are you kidding me? Why is he gone again? You clearly said you were there just now!"
"Master!" Wu Yong knelt on the floor. "Master Zhao was indeed in Heihe Village, but on the second day of the snowstorm, the house where Master Zhao lived collapsed..."
"What did you say?!" Zhou Huaining jumped up.
"Master, please accept my condolences!" Wu Yong fell to the ground and cried bitterly.
"My lord, please accept my condolences!" Chen Xingnong Yue also knelt down.
Zhou Huaining suddenly beat himself like crazy, "Brother, it's my fault, I'm late! I'm sorry for you!"
Wu Yong and the others quickly pulled him back. Zhou Huaining burst into tears: "Let go! Let me get down!"
Knowing his temper, they had no choice but to let him go. Zhou Huaining jumped off the carriage, but he didn't stand firmly and fell into the dirty mud pit.
If this had happened in the past, Zhou Huaining would have jumped up and screamed.
But at this moment, he didn't even move his butt, covering his face and crying loudly, "Senior brother, my poor senior brother, why didn't you wait for me..."
The chicken-catching army in front was startled by the sad crying and turned around to look.
The hen, which was being chased and blocked, took advantage of the moment when everyone was distracted, struggled to break through the encirclement, and was about to spread her wings and fly away.
Suddenly, a small fleshy hand reached out and accurately strangled its throat.
The little dumpling was held in the arms of the village head. He grabbed the hen's neck with his little hands and lifted it up, "I've got you!"
The hen was so scared that she almost screamed and struggled.
Little Dumpling slapped it on the forehead and said, "If you bark again, I'll kill you!"
The hen immediately fell silent and buried her head in her wings, pretending to be dead.
"It turns out to be Master Xiaojiu's chicken!"
No wonder he can run so fast!
Everyone was a little disappointed because there was no chicken to eat.
But he was secretly glad that he had eaten Master Xiaojiu's chicken. That would have been disastrous!
"What are you doing?" the village head looked at them, fully armed. "Who are you going to gang up on?"
"No." Everyone scratched their heads.
No one dared to say that they were catching chickens.
"I've been holding it in for so long, I wanted to get out and exercise!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Let's move around together!"
At this time, a loud sobbing sound was heard. The village head was surprised and said, "Who is crying so sadly during the New Year's Day?"
"It's someone I don't know. It seems he's here to see Master Zhao!"
The village head said unhappily, "If you want to find Master Zhao, then come and look for him properly. Why are you crying like this at the village entrance on New Year's Day? What's the big deal?"
…
Zhou Huaining stood up shakily, tears streaming down his face as he said, "Wu Yong, go into the village! I want to take my brother home!"
"Who are you?" The village head came over, holding Xiao Jiuer in his arms. "Do you still understand the rules? Why are you crying at the entrance of Heihe Village on New Year's Day? Do you understand auspiciousness?"
Zhou Huaining wiped away his tears, "Who do you care who I am? I'll cry if I want to! If you keep saying that, I'll go to your house and cry! Wuuuuu..."
Wu Yong clasped his fists and said, "Old man, may I ask where Li Zheng is in Heihe Village? We have something to discuss with him."
I checked before coming here, and the surname in Heihe Village is Zhuang.
"That's me." The village head looked them over. "What do you want from me?"
"Is there a teacher named Zhao in Heihe Village?"
"Yes."
"My son is a good friend of Master Zhao. He came here today..." Wu Yong's eyes turned red, "to take him home."
"So you're Master Zhao's friends!" the village head said, choosing his words carefully. "You must have not seen Master Zhao for a long time, right?"
Only when we meet again after a long separation will we cry so excitedly!
"It's been more than two years since we last met."
"I see!"
The headman nodded, saying that this made sense.
"My senior brother...where is he now?" Zhou Huaining's face was pale and his lips were trembling.
I heard that those who died in the snowstorm in the county could not be buried because the snow was too deep, so they had to be temporarily buried in the snow...
The village head said, "The teacher is in the village. I will take you to see him."
"Okay!" Zhou Huaining choked up, "Did you treat him properly?"
The village head was stunned. "Everyone in Heihe Village respects the Master. But unfortunately, the villagers are poor, so the Master has suffered some injustice."
"Just some grievances?!" Zhou Huaining grinned and burst into tears, "Do you know who my senior brother is? He is a teacher in your village. It is a blessing that your village has accumulated for eight lifetimes! How could you let the house he lives in collapse? My senior brother..."
The village head glanced at the little girl and asked: "Master's friends also know this? Are they here to speak up for Master?"
To be honest, with the Master's talent and ability, he was indeed wronged in Heihe Village.
The village head apologized, "It was indeed our fault. We said we would build a house for the teacher, but before we could finish it, the snowstorm hit!"
"Yeah!" Little Dumpling chimed in, "My family is gone, I'm so happy!"
"Happiness? Wuuwuwu..." Zhou Huaining's tears flowed even more happily, "Baby, don't think that you can say whatever you want just because you look cute! If you disrespect my senior brother, be careful or I'll beat you up!"
