Chapter 18
Jiang Jiang had a dream.
In the dream, the person she loved and respected the most died and lay quietly in the coffin. His face was pale but with a smile on his face, as if he was just having a beautiful dream.
But she knew clearly that the man was dead and she would never see her again.
Jiang Jiang cried, crying heart-wrenchingly, gasping for breath, and almost fainted, because she knew that her world had fallen.
She fell to the ground and wanted to crawl over, to touch the man's face again, but she found that she couldn't crawl over. The coffin was carrying the man farther and farther away...
The pain in her chest made Jiang Jiang open her eyes. She blinked, and tears still remained on her eyelashes, sparkling in the light.
"It was a dream." Jiang Jiang was a little dazed. She touched the left side of her chest and found her heart was still beating strongly. The extreme pain just now quickly dissipated like a tide.
It turned out to be a dream!
Jiang Jiang let out a breath. She didn't want to feel the heart-wrenching pain anymore.
It was strange that she couldn't remember the man's face as soon as she opened her eyes.
Jiang Jiang didn't think any more about it. He rubbed his eyes and sat up from the bed. Only then did he realize that something was wrong.
Hey? Why did she fall asleep?
Jiang Jiang's brain gradually became clear, and he slowly remembered everything that had happened before, his whole body stiffening in place.
She seemed to be using the Bagua plate to determine Xiaobai, but unexpectedly Xiaobai's eyeballs fell out, frightening her to faint!
She patted her chest, luckily she didn't have a heart attack!
But she didn't want to live in such a state of constant fear! If she continued to live in such a state of fear, she would go crazy sooner or later!
She wants to return to her normal life!!
Just then, the courier called and said that another courier had arrived, still from Moufeng Express, and had been delivered to the door.
She checked the order on her phone and found out that the cross she bought had arrived!
Since Chinese talisman paper and Bagua plate are useless, then Western crosses and garlic should be useful!
Thinking of this, Jiang Jiang excitedly got out of bed and opened the bedroom door.
“Chuckle…”
I saw a hen striding past the door.
The hen tilted her head, glanced at Jiang Jiang who was standing at the bedroom door with disdain, then turned around and continued walking forward.
Jiang Jiang, “…”
She must be dazzled from not waking up yet.
Taking two steps back, she closed the bedroom door again.
Then open it again.
"Cluck, cluck, cluck!" The hen shook its short tail, leaving Jiang Jiang with a chicken butt in its back.
Jiang Jiang: “…” It seems that I was not mistaken.
So, why did a live chicken appear in her home, a city apartment building with an elevator?
"Xiao! Bai!" Jiang Jiang roared.
Xiaobai ran out of the kitchen happily, "Jiang Jiang, you're awake!" She looked at Jiang Jiang in surprise, her eyes full of joy.
The hen was still walking back and forth, showing off her short and fat body and making her presence felt.
Jiang Jiang's forehead was bulging with veins as he pointed at the chicken on the ground that was constantly showing off. "What's wrong with this chicken?"
Xiaobai suddenly realized, "Ah, Jiang Jiang, that's it."
When Mr. Jiang fainted before, Xiaobai was a little distressed and inadvertently told the old men and women about it in the community.
The old men and women started talking about it and came up with various methods.
Among them, an old man who is very good at health care said that Jiang Jiang could be given chicken soup to nourish himself.
Mr. Jiang Jiang always feels dizzy, he must be too weak!
The old man shook his head and said that hens have the effect of replenishing qi and tonifying deficiency. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that hens are female and their nature is gentle, especially hen meat, which has the effect of nourishing blood, strengthening the spleen and tonifying deficiency.
I also gave Xiaobai some scientific knowledge: chicken soup from old hens is the most effective.
After hearing this, Xiaobai wanted to buy one, but was stopped by an old lady.
The old lady said that she raised chickens in her hometown, and they were all free-range chickens. They ran around every day and were very healthy. Her husband would be back in a few days and asked her to bring one back for Xiaobai!
The aunt also said that the feed-fed chickens on the market now are not good, and who knows how much medicine they have taken. The free-range chickens raised at home are the most environmentally friendly.
Xiaobai happily agreed and was very grateful to the aunt.
The aunt’s husband just happened to come back today and brought the free-range chickens that he had promised.
What Xiaobai didn't expect was that the free-range chickens he brought had not been processed and were still alive.
The old men and women all said that fresh ones were the best, so they stuffed the live chicken into Xiaobai's hands.
Xiaobai saw that the chicken's claws were tied up and the chicken was looking at it without blinking, revealing a hint of pity. She couldn't bear it and cut the rope that tied the chicken's claws.
This hen was not shy at all. After being freed, she began to stride around, patrolling around looking for something. That's why Jiang Jiang saw the chicken strolling around when he opened the door.
Jiang Jiang's forehead veins throbbed. She often fainted because of Xiao Bai. If he hadn't always scared her, would she faint so often?!
Finally, she took two deep breaths and sighed.
Never mind, the chickens were bought by Xiaobai for her anyway. It is said that free-range hens are not only expensive but also difficult to buy real ones on the market. It is a good thing that Xiaobai has this way to buy one.
Jiang Jiang didn't say anything else, got up, opened the door and went to get the express.
"Cluck, cluck, cluck!" Behind me came the sound of chickens crowing and chicken claws stepping on the marble floor tiles.
Jiang Jiang picked up the express delivery at the door and was about to close the door when the chicken flew over and squeezed out through the crack in the door, pecking at a small fly on the wall outside the door.
The chicken that ate the bugs squinted its eyes contentedly, clucked twice, flicked its wings, and walked deeper into the corridor.
Jiang Jiang looked at this scene and was stunned for a moment before reacting, "Xiaobai, the chicken ran away!"
"What?" Xiaobai ran over.
The two men saw the chicken walking away and hurried out to chase it.
Hearing the footsteps, the hen shuddered, flapped its wings, and rushed forward faster, shaking its head as it rushed.
Humph, stupid human, I am the fastest pretty chicken in the village!
Xiaobai was in better physical condition than Jiang Jiang, so he quickly chased after him and pounced on him without caring about anything else.
"Cluck, cluck, cluck!" The hen jumped suddenly, flapped her little wings and jumped about one meter high. She stepped on Xiaobai's shoulders and flew over, just facing Jiang Jiang who was running over from behind.
Jiang Jiang grew up in a small town and had never been in contact with a live chicken. She was a little scared and afraid of being pecked by a chicken.
But there was no other way, she had to catch the chicken and bring it back, she couldn't let it flutter around in the corridor outside!
Jiang Jiang went forward with trembling hands to grab it, feeling a bit like a heroic sacrifice, but unfortunately she subconsciously closed her eyes out of fear.
The hen pounced again and stepped on Jiang Jiang's head.
Feeling the weight on her head, Jiang Jiang was so scared that she let out a short scream, and the scream echoed in the corridor.
"Jiang Jiang!" Xiaobai turned around and saw it, then ran over to catch the chicken.
The chicken was clucking and enjoying the wonderful feeling of looking down on the mountains. It saw that something was not right. It was not afraid of Xiaobai at all and even made a feint. The frightened Xiaobai tripped over his left foot and fell straight forward, knocking Jiang Jiang to the ground and pressing him under him.
Jiang Jiang was pressed to the ground by Xiaobai and almost vomited blood.
The hen jumped onto Xiaobai's back, raised her head and chest, and flapped her wings proudly.
You little brat, you still want to catch this handsome chicken? I’ve been the fastest champion in the village for two consecutive years!
The noise in the corridor was so loud that the door of the next room opened and Liang Rou stuck her head out to check what was going on.
Seeing Xiaobai lying on Jiang Jiang, the two of them fell and screamed, he quickly opened the door and came out to help them up.
As a result, before she even walked out of the door, the big dog Mimi rushed out of the room, barking as he ran.
When the hen saw the big dog rushing towards her, she was so scared that she ran around clucking and flapping her wings.
Mimi pursued relentlessly.
The corridor was filled with constant sounds of "clucking" and "woofing", which was really a scene of chaos.
The noise caused some neighbors at home to open their doors to see what was going on.
Liang Rou apologized to the neighbors embarrassedly while stopping Mimi from barking.
But this time, Mimi didn't listen to Liang Rou at all. When it saw the live chicken, it was like seeing a very interesting toy, and it kept chasing it with a panting sound.
Xiaobai was in high spirits and joined the chicken chase after getting up.
This is the chicken she wants to give to Jiang Jiang! She can’t let the big dog Mimi take it away!
A man, a dog and a chicken were having a great time in the corridor.
Jiang Jiang was helped up by Liang Rou. She covered her waist and trembled, lamenting her old waist!
In the end, Mimi the dog was better. He bit the chicken wing in one bite, pressed the chicken under his paw, and panted at Xiaobai with his tongue sticking out and his mouth grinning.
The hen was pinned down by the dog's paws, looking as if she had lost all hope in life.
Xiaobai ran to Mimi panting, and did not forget to tell Mimi that the chicken was hers, and since Mimi helped her catch the chicken, she could give Mimi a chicken wing!
Mimi woofed, as if she was dissatisfied that the food was not enough.
Xiaobai's face was serious as he explained earnestly that this chicken was for Jiang Jiang to nourish his body and that he couldn't be given too much.
Jiang Jiang rolled her eyes and didn't want to say anything. She actually wanted to share a chicken with a dog!
Liang Rou, however, was laughing uncontrollably, thinking that this man and dog were really interesting.
Finally, Jiang Jiang and Xiaobai expressed their gratitude to Liang Rou. Liang Rou pulled Gou Tou and said that there was no need to share the chicken with Mimi.
Mimi was dejected because the chicken he had been longing for was gone.
"Okay, I'll go back and cook you some chicken breast, okay?" Liang Rou said, touching the dog's head.
Mimi became happy again, grinning with a silly look on her face.
…
Xiaobai was ordered by Jiang Jiang to take the chicken to the market and find someone to deal with it quickly. She now felt exhausted all over.
As an office worker, she is not as healthy as when she was young. She has not exercised for a long time and is now very tired.
Xiaobai took the tied chicken to the nearest vegetable market to find someone to deal with it.
Jiang Jiang collapsed on the sofa, staring at the ceiling with blank eyes. He was not only physically tired, but also mentally tired.
When will she be able to return to her normal and stable life?
My eyes inadvertently moved down and saw the express box on the ground.
By the way, her cross and garlic have arrived. I can try to see if these two are useful for Xiaobai!
The cross is not small, about the size of two palms, and the lower part is longer, as if it is convenient to hold in the hand. The two vertical ends are made into pointed points, and the whole cross is similar to a dagger.
The garlic is dried garlic, five in a string.
Jiang Jiang studied it but couldn't find any special uses.
In the West, it seems that vampires are born with a fear of the cross and garlic. They will run away in fear when they see the cross and will hide away when they smell the smell of garlic.
I always feel unreliable.
Jiang Jiang thought, since I have already bought it, I might as well give it a try.
When Xiaobai came back humming a song, Jiang Jiang held a cross in one hand and a bunch of garlic in the other, and put them directly in front of Xiaobai.
The sudden approach made Xiaobai unable to see clearly what Jiang Jiang was holding in his hand, and he subconsciously took a step back.
Jiang Jiang was delighted and approached again holding the cross and garlic.
Only then did Xiaobai see what was in Jiang Jiang's hand. She tilted her head for two seconds and her eyes lit up.
"Jiang Jiang, I understand!"
Jiang Jiang didn't understand the meaning of Xiaobai's words for a moment, and then he saw Xiaobai reach out and take the cross and garlic from Jiang Jiang's hand and walked into the kitchen.
Jiang Jiang was puzzled and followed Xiaobai into the kitchen.
After Xiaobai cleaned everything, he took the cross and poked the chicken with the pointed end. Then he crushed the garlic and smeared it on the chicken, not forgetting to sprinkle some other seasonings on it...
"Jiang Jiang, if you want to eat roast chicken, just tell me! Then I won't make soup!" Xiaobai said while marinating the chicken.
Jiang Jiang opened his mouth into an "O"!
The cross and garlic can actually be used like this?!
