Chapter 9 Chapter 9 Strange noise on the balcony (V)
"..." Fang Hui blinked and chuckled.
The next day, Ning Helan heard his rooster clucking as soon as he got up.
He walked over yawning and saw the rooster rushing on the balcony, shaking its comb non-stop, as if it was ready to fight someone to the death.
"Brother Rooster?" Ning Helan walked over and leaned against the door, "What did you see again?"
"Crack!" The rooster stared at the balcony. Ning Helan followed its line of sight and saw nothing on the balcony, neither an eagle nor a bird.
The chicken feeds on millet and sorghum, and Grandpa Ning often feeds it some fresh vegetables and fruits.
For it, it is not a big deal after getting used to it.
But for the birds around it who have to work hard to find food every day, the chicken is eating a big meal.
In the past, sparrows often came to share food with it, one or two, without fighting or competing, and they lived in harmony.
At first, there were only a few, but the team gradually grew larger. Later, when it was time to feed, more than ten sparrows would fly to the windowsill.
Even later, nearby pigeons and turtledoves would come over to share this delicacy.
There are so many birds here that you can occasionally see eagles and falcons around.
When it is time for the chicken to eat, the windowsill is already full of birds.
Although he was the "master of the house", he could only eat leftovers in the end.
Rooster couldn't bear it any longer, so one day he bent his body and chased away all the sparrows. The feathers of the slow-reacting turtledove were almost plucked out by him.
From then on, he became famous. The sparrows would only come to eat when he was not around. The scale was not as large as before, and they didn't dare to be too presumptuous.
Therefore, Ning Helan thought that some birds came from somewhere and competed with him for food again, but there was no sign of birds when he looked around.
There were quite a few birds on the trees in the community, chirping happily.
"Rooster, you chased away all the sparrows... Okay, stop chirping, or the neighbors will say that we are disturbing them." Ning Helan stood up, and as soon as the rooster opened his mouth, he grabbed the rooster's neck.
Originally, the rooster was about to clap with great vigor and pride, but after being pinched by Ning Helan, he almost choked to death by his own saliva.
"Crack... crackle, cough..."
Ning Helan carried the rooster away from the balcony, and closed the French window on the balcony.
Fang Hui squatted on the windowsill and burst into laughter.
When he got up in the morning, he found that he felt much better than yesterday, and the injuries on his body didn't hurt anymore. It was just as Ning Guohua said.
As soon as he came out of the study, he heard the rooster's "crack!", which didn't scare Fang Hui to have a heart attack.
He patted his chest and saw the rooster turn its intelligent eyes to look at him, and then walked away.
Fang Hui was already in a bad mood when he woke up, and he was annoyed with the rooster so early in the morning. He followed the rooster to the balcony with his hands folded, and watched the rooster pecking at Xiaomi.
He felt like he was being targeted by this ugly rooster.
"Hey, ugly rooster, did I offend you?" Fang Hui glanced at the rooster, but the rooster ignored it, so Fang Hui went back home and continued talking. "If I were dead now, if I were still alive, I would have caught you and made soup with you. No, you're a male, so even if you're fertilized, you can only be fried..."
"Click!" This irritated the rooster, and it pounced and wanted to peck Fang Hui.
Fang Hui dodged quickly, and finally climbed onto the open window sill next to him. There was a potted plant in front of him, so the rooster couldn't fly up, and could only yell at him from below.
Seeing that he was temporarily safe, Fang Hui started teasing the rooster again.
In this way, the man and the rooster started quarreling non-stop early in the morning.
Now Ning Helan took the rooster away, and Fang Hui couldn't laugh anymore after just a few laughs.
He was locked on the balcony.
He wanted to knock on the window to ask Ning Helan to let him in, but now there was no sound no matter what he knocked, so he gave up.
He stretched his waist and leaned over the windowsill to look outside.
The sun was rising outside, and the morning sunlight shone through the dense branches and leaves of the summer trees, casting pieces of light and shadow on the outer wall of the building, and the light and shadow were intertwined. Seeing
the rising sun, Fang Hui remembered that he hadn't seen such a scene since the summer vacation.
During the holidays, he played with his friends until four or five in the morning every day, fell asleep as soon as he got home, and woke up in the afternoon.
Even when his sister asked him to go to see grandma, he only agreed verbally. He hasn't been there once in half a month since he came back.
I don't know what happened to his family...
He lowered his head, and the sunlight cast a large shadow on his side.
Ning Helan stood in the living room. He had a tall and slender figure. He glanced at the balcony, and his slightly long bangs gently covered his eyes.
"Xiao Lan, what are you doing standing here?" Ning Guohua came back from morning exercise outside, holding fried dough sticks and soy milk in his hands.
"Nothing." Ning Helan wanted to reach out and take the things his grandfather was carrying when he saw him coming back.
When he raised his hand, he realized that he was still pinching the rooster's neck.
The rooster rolled his eyes, and because he couldn't breathe, his face was blue, and his tongue was sticking out, looking like he was going to die.
"!" Ning Helan quickly let go of the rooster, and the rooster lay on the ground motionless, and took a long breath after a while.
Ning Helan apologized to it, "I'm sorry, rooster, I didn't control the strength well."
Ning Guohua put breakfast on the table: "Why did you pinch it so early in the morning?"
"I didn't pinch it... The rooster kept calling this morning, and I was worried that it would disturb the neighbors, so I brought it in first." Ning Helan explained.
The grandfather and grandson sat at the dining table and started to eat breakfast. The rooster lay aside to catch his breath, and Fang Hui leaned against the window sill in a daze.
Everything was fine.
At around ten o'clock, Aunt Zhang came over.
She held her little grandson in her arms and thanked Ning Guohua repeatedly as soon as she entered the door.
"Master Ning, thank you so much. Your purse is really useful. My son Haohao really slept well at night after wearing it." Aunt Zhang said happily.
The little Haohao held the purse in his hand and played with it. His face was rosy and his eyes were bright. He looked really energetic.
Ning Guohua wanted to reach out and play with the child, but he took his hand back after looking at the child.
"Come, please sit down first." Ning Guohua asked Aunt Zhang to sit down.
"Aunt Zhang, who lives upstairs from your house?" Ning Guohua chatted with her casually.
"Oh, it seems to be a young man. I don't know what he does, but he seems to go out to work at noon and get home after work after ten o'clock in the evening." Aunt Zhang said, "Hey, thanks to your grandson for finding that small piece of wood, otherwise we really thought it was a ghost."
Ning Guohua nodded and said nothing more.
"By the way, Master, this is the 500 yuan for the talisman, please keep it." Aunt Zhang took out a few brand new bills from her bag.
Ning Guohua did not hesitate and took the money with a smile.
Fang Hui heard the noise in the living room, turned around and saw Aunt Zhang and little Haohao.
Although Aunt Zhang and Ning Guohua were chatting happily, and little Haohao was playing by himself upstairs, they didn't seem to be anything unusual.
But Fang Hui still noticed a faint gray gas around Aunt Zhang.
He clearly remembered that it was not there when he saw her yesterday.
Is it something strange?
Fang Hui thought, but he saw that the chicken was standing quietly by the side and taking a nap, and did not have any other reaction to the breath.
In addition, Fang Hui didn't know what that thing was, and wanted to call Ning Guohua, but after knocking on the window twice, he remembered that it was useless, so he thought forget it.
Little Haohao was obviously tired of playing with the purse, and threw the thing on the sofa.
His attention was drawn to the rooster sleeping alone beside the sofa, so he climbed down from the sofa and stood next to the rooster.
The rooster peeked at him from its feathers and continued to sleep.
"Cluck!"
Suddenly a sharp rooster croaked, and Ning Guohua and Aunt Zhang were startled by the source of the sound.
Xiao Haohao was holding a handful of chicken feathers in his hand, and the rooster had a bald spot on the back of his head.
The rooster jumped up in pain, but he didn't dare to do anything when he saw the child. He clucked and went into Ning Helan's room.
Aunt Zhang was frightened by her grandson's action and quickly hugged him over: "Haohao! How can you bully a big rooster?!"
Scolding is one thing, and being afraid that her grandson will be hurt by the rooster is another. After all, Aunt Zhang had seen the madness of this rooster last night.
Ning Guohua hurriedly comforted him: "It's okay, don't scare the child. The feathers of this rooster will grow back in a few days."
Fang Hui saw the handful of chicken feathers in the child's hand. Good guy, he was really cruel.
The rooster didn't have much feathers to begin with, and now it looks even balder.
