Chapter 238 Dressing the Chicken
"Are you bullying your brother again? I think you want to be beaten, right?"
Si Xiaoshun was immediately aggrieved, covering his head and shouting: "Mom, don't you like me too? Humph, I know you treat a chicken better than me, I must have picked it up!"
"Yes, yes, you picked it up. If you don't obey me again, I'll throw you back into the mountains!" Ms. Zhao cursed angrily.
Si Xiaoshun cried "Wow" and ran away.
"This damn kid has enough food and clothing every day, but he doesn't know his last name anymore. He deserves a beating!" Mrs. Zhao looked at Si Xiaoshun's back and cursed a few times.
Si Jinbai, who was squatting aside studying chickens, heard her words and suddenly raised his head to look at Zhao: "What did you just say?"
"Ah? What did you say?" Ms. Zhao looked confused.
Si Jinbai quickly said: "That's what you just said."
"Deserve a beating?"
"No, no, the previous sentence."
Mrs. Zhao thought for a while and said, "I don't know what my last name is?"
Si Jinbai continued to shake his head: "No, just say another sentence."
"Have enough food and clothing?" Ms. Zhao asked uncertainly.
Si Jinbai clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "By the way, this is it! I know why this chicken is shrinking and refusing to come out."
"Why?" Mrs. Zhao was confused. She didn't understand how what she said had anything to do with chickens.
Si Jinbai asked with a smile: "Have you noticed that this chicken was fine before when it was not too cold, but it has just recently started to shrink in the chicken coop when the temperature dropped?"
"Yes, we all know this." Ms. Zhao still didn't understand.
"Because it's cold! This chicken is afraid of the cold, so it keeps hiding in the chicken coop and refuses to come out!" Si Jinbai patted his knees and laughed.
After hearing this, Ms. Zhao looked puzzled: "Isn't it a chicken? Why is it still afraid of the cold?"
"Maybe it's because the hair on its body is short. Look, its hair is so different from that of other pheasants. It must be cold!" Si Jinbai pointed at the green-haired pheasant, and then pointed at the other pheasants.
When Zhao saw it, hey, it really is like this!
"What should we do then? This pheasant is so weird. It's actually afraid of the cold, Jinbai, what should we do?"
"Go to the wheat straw pile and get some more wheat straw, and pad it's nest thicker. Do we have any useless clothes? Then put some clothes on it, so it won't get cold." Si Jinbai thought about it.
Think about it and come up with a solution.
When Mrs. Zhao heard this, she immediately clapped her hands to express her agreement: "I'll go to the house to look for any tattered clothes that I can't wear. You go and grab the wheat straw."
"Sure!" Si Jinbai nodded in agreement with her proposal and immediately started to separate.
While Si Jinbai and Mrs. Zhao were busy with the important matter of keeping the chickens warm.
However, three government officials wearing official uniforms came outside the village. The government officials were accompanied by He Lichang, who had been frightened to the point of peeing some time ago.
"Master, Dajia Village is ahead. Everyone, please be careful. That tiger was raised by their village and is very aggressive!"
He Lichang pointed to the entrance of Dajia Village and said to the three government officials around him.
"Really? Then according to you, what should we do to be safer?" Xing Wu, who was the leader, glanced sideways at He Li Chang, with a flash of disdain on his face.
He had been to Dajia Village before. The people here are simple, warm and hospitable. Where did the tiger come from?
Not to mention that this man kept saying that Dajia villagers were robbing people with knives and endangering the surrounding villages. Xing Wu felt that this was even more nonsense.
However, he was the head of the district, and he wanted to file a complaint. Magistrate Zhao couldn't just ignore it, so he arranged for him to take someone with him.
The two government servants who came with him this time were the two who delivered the cattle with him last time.
