Chapter 16 Another Bird

"Oh~"

The big rooster was covered in red and black feathers, with a scarlet comb on its head and a tail like a big fan. It swung as it walked, as if no one was around, and looked majestic.

Fang Zhixing and Xigou looked at each other.

"The chicken of the old village chief!"

"It's quite fat!"

The man and the dog were in sync and quickly looked around.

"No one else..."

Xigou listened carefully and transmitted the message.

Fang Zhixing remained calm, slowly grasped the bow and drew an arrow.

The big rooster turned his butt at this moment and faced away from him.

Whoosh!

The arrow shot out!

The big rooster's head sank, and it fell to the ground like a head-over-heels onion. Its two chicken claws kicked randomly a few times, and then it stopped moving.

The arrow shot into its eyes, causing brain death instantly, and it didn't even have time to make a chicken cry until it died.

Fang Zhixing quickly put away his bow and arrow, grabbed the big rooster and stuffed it into the broken bamboo basket.

Then he scanned the surroundings again to confirm whether anyone was peeping.

"Hurry up, go home, it's braised!"

Xigou was very excited and shouted with a runny nose.

Fang Zhixing's head was hot, but he was unusually calm. He shook his head and said, "Don't worry, we'd better not eat chicken in the village."

Xigou said, "What are you afraid of? No one knows it was us."

Fang Zhixing said seriously, "Once the old village chief finds out that his big rooster is gone, he will definitely suspect that someone stole it. I'm afraid he will search every house. The chicken blood smells so strong, there are so many chicken feathers, and the aroma of roasted chicken is so strong, how can it be covered up?"

Xigou was shocked.

Come to think of it, even if Fang Zhixing dealt with the chicken blood and burned all the chicken feathers, it would be impossible to eliminate all the smells.

"What do you want to do?" Xigou asked.

Fang Zhixing was silent for a moment, then he said, "Let's get out of the village first."

The man and the dog did not go home, but left the village step by step, and walked farther and farther away.

The Funiu Mountains are surrounded by mountains.

Living in the mountains, in addition to many mountains, trees, and rivers, there is another thing, that is, there are many caves.

Fang Zhixing and the thin dog climbed up a hill and soon found a cave.

Luckily, this cave does not leak rain. Not only is the cave dry, but there are also some dead branches and leaves piled up, which should be blown into the cave by the strong wind.

"Well, here it is."

Fang Zhixing cheered up, took out the big rooster from the broken bamboo basket, plucked the feathers, cut open the belly to remove the internal organs, and roasted it over the fire.

While Fang Zhixing was busy, the thin dog was not idle either, and was responsible for patrolling outside the cave.

"Wangwang!"

Soon, Fang Zhixing heard the call and hurriedly picked up the bow and arrow and ran out.

Looking closely, the thin dog was standing in front of a low plant, shaking its tail.

Fang Zhixing ran over and asked, "What's wrong?"

The dog turned around, stuck out his tongue, and asked, "Do you think this is wild pepper?"

Fang Zhixing was refreshed and looked down carefully. He found that the plant in front of him was lush green with a little red.

A finger-shaped red fruit was produced in the green leaves. The fruit stalk and fruit were both upright. The fruit was small and conical.

"Well, it's really 'Chaotian pepper'."

Fang Zhixing was overjoyed. He was a person who liked spicy food. He loved spicy food. Even if he had hemorrhoids, he still liked spicy food.

He quickly picked a handful of Chaotian pepper, brought it back to the cave, crushed it on the stone, and made chili juice.

Time passed little by little, and it was almost noon.

Gradually, the big rooster was roasted, the skin was brown and oily, and the cave was filled with the aroma of barbecue, which drifted outside the cave, and the aroma was fragrant.

The dog standing guard outside asked anxiously: "Are you ready? Don't eat alone!"

Fang Zhixing tore off a chicken leg, smeared a layer of chili sauce on it slowly, and replied calmly: "Look at what you said, am I that kind of person?"

Take a bite, the spicy juice bursts!

"Wow, it's so delicious!"

Fang Zhixing devoured it, and the satisfaction was overwhelming, which was beyond words.

At this time, Xigou suddenly ran in, furious, and roared: "Good fellow, I fucking knew it!"

Fang Zhixing licked his lips and replied: "What do you know, I didn't eat it secretly..."

Before he finished speaking, Xigou angrily said: "Bullshit, you didn't eat it secretly? Did the whole chicken leg get eaten by the dog?"

Fang Zhixing said confidently: "You know shit, I'm tasting it for you to see if it's poisonous."

Xigou couldn't bear it anymore, so he pounced on it and shouted: "The other chicken leg is mine, and the chicken wings are mine too!"

Fang Zhixing tore off the chicken head and chicken neck without saying a word, stuffed them into Xigou's mouth, and said seriously: "Chicken head and chicken neck are more delicious."

Xigou ah woo, spitting fire.

However, the meaty and chili flavors in the dog's mouth suddenly filled him up, making him unable to stop, like a demon, he quickly lowered his head to bite, and it tasted great.

Seeing this, Fang Zhixing laughed and said, "Look, I'm good to you?"

"Good, you whine!" Xigou muttered.

The man and the dog shared the big rooster. The big rooster was very filling, and they both had bloated stomachs and were full.

"This is the first time I've eaten so much." Fang Zhixing lay down, stroking his stomach, feeling satisfied.

Xigou nodded and said, "The key is that it's spicy. It tastes so good that I'm sweating."

Fang Zhixing touched his forehead, which was still a little hot, and replied, "It's good to sweat a little. I hope it can cure my cold."

Xigou lay down, looking at the heavy rain outside, and felt sleepy.

Fang Zhixing also slowly closed his eyes beside the warm campfire.

…

…

"Dad, our chicken coop collapsed due to the rain!"

Zhao Dahu ran over in a hurry and told his father that the big rooster and four old hens in the chicken coop were all gone.

"What?"

The old village chief was immediately anxious. The old hens could lay eggs every day, so that his family could have eggs to eat. The eggs could not only hatch new chicks, but also be exchanged for food. They must not be lost.

The big rooster was also indispensable. Without it, the eggs laid by the hens could not hatch chicks.

In this year of famine, these five chickens were too important to lose.

"Hurry up and find chickens!"

The old village chief gave an order and summoned the men, women, old and young of the Zhao family to go out and find chickens.

After more than half an hour, they found three old hens.

There was also a male and a female, who were nowhere to be seen.

Zhao Dahu said in a deep voice: "Dad, we have searched everywhere in the village, but there is nothing!"

The old village chief looked gloomy and said: "Chickens will not run to strange places casually, they must still be in the village."

Zhao Dahu's face changed, and he said in surprise: "Could it be that someone has caught our chickens?"

The old village chief looked at the sky. It was already night when the rain had just stopped.

He took out a gong and started to beat it.

Not long after, all the villagers from all households gathered at the head of the village, including Fang Zhixing and Xigou, who had just returned from outside.

"Old village chief, what's wrong?" Bai Er's wife asked weakly.

The old village chief looked at every villager with a cold look, and said in a deep voice: "Someone stole my chickens!"

The villagers looked at each other, you looked at me and I looked at you.

The old village chief shouted: "Whoever stole it, stand up yourself! Don't let me find it out, otherwise I will never let it go easily."

No one stood up to admit it.

Soon, Zhao Dahu and others ran over, holding a handful of chicken feathers in their hands, walked up to the old village chief, and muttered a few words.
