In the evening, Shen Wu was busy preparing dinner in the kitchen. After making the bamboo chair, she took a break and went to the back mountain again. This time, she brought the backpack that Gu Zhou had repaired, and she actually caught a chicken again.

I don’t know whether to say that ancient chickens were stupid or dumb, she used the same method to get two more.

Yes! That’s right! Two! She originally thought that only one would be enough, but she really didn’t expect to catch two chickens.

She wanted to laugh when she talked about the two chickens she caught. The two chickens had their feet caught on the holes in her clothes and they had no way to break free.

You said the hole was quite big, if there was only one fish it would definitely come out easily, but who knew that two of them were put in and both were hanging in the same hole. It would be strange if they could come out.

Shen Wu, carrying two chickens in a basket and carrying the water chestnuts he had just picked, happily rushed into the yard.

"Hahahahahahaha I caught the chicken again!"

The voice passed before she entered the yard. Gu Zhou was talking to his aunt in the yard when he heard her uncontrollable joyful voice.

Aunt He laughed so hard that her waist hurt when she heard Jiang Yu's voice: "Oh, what is she looking for again? Gu Wei just told me that you ate chicken, but I didn't believe it. Now I want to see what she is touching again."

Gu Zhou was caught off guard by her aunt's arrival. He was accustomed to her aunt's preference for going to the back mountain, but if she let her aunt know that she went to the woods alone in the evening, she would probably scold her again.

"Um... no... Auntie - Auntie may have heard it wrong." Gu Zhou would not lie, so he would just end it if he lied.

Aunt He could see that he was hiding something, but before she could think about it, she saw Jiang Yu coming in carrying a backpack that was so big that it almost buried half of her body.

"Oh, we caught something big today! Two chickens! We can eat some meat again..."

Shen Wu had barely finished her words when she saw the people in the yard. She put down the frame and said, "Aunt is here? I just happened to catch a chicken. Would you like to try my cooking tonight?"

Aunt He had finally figured things out after being scolded by her husband the day Jiang Yu came back from the fire. She had forgotten about it, and it was fine as it is now. She couldn't always look at her the same way she had done before.

"Where did you catch the chicken?" Aunt He stepped forward to see that Shen Wu had unloaded the basket.

In the basket was a black ball wrapped in a coat. When Shen Wu put it down, the chicken inside was frightened and moved wildly.

Shen Wu took out a big bag made of clothes. She saw Gu Zhou winking at her from behind Aunt He, but she didn't understand what he meant.

"This chicken is mine..."

Gu Zhou suddenly spoke up for Shen Wu: "This chicken was caught by Jiang Yu on the weedy slope behind the house. He caught it there last time."

Although Shen Wu didn't know why Gu Zhou explained it for her, she still nodded and said, "Yes, it's there."

"Can I see this chicken?" Aunt He asked, looking at the big bag moving wildly.

"Of course! I did this because I was afraid they would run away. If you want to see them, I'll give you an answer."

Shen Wu untied a small knot to let Aunt He see the chicken inside. She was afraid that the chicken would run away if she untied it with clumsy hands, so she used the diagonal tying method this time. Moreover, her clothes were small, so this small hole would be okay.

Aunt He leaned over and took a look through the small opening, and exclaimed: "Ouch, this chicken! How did you catch it?! This chicken bites very painfully."

Shen Wu explained to his aunt in detail the process of catching the chicken with clothes, which made Aunt He want to laugh but also... helpless.

"Don't eat this chicken. Cut the tips of its tail feathers and wings and tie it up with a rope. Then you will have eggs to eat at home."

Aunt He’s words shocked Gu Zhou and Shen Wu.

Gu Zhou was surprised at how Shen Wu caught the male and female, and Shen Wu was surprised at how lucky he was to have caught the male and female.

"Will this method... work?" Shen Wu had only raised domestic chickens when he was a child and had never raised pheasants. He didn't know how to do it and was a little skeptical.

"Don't worry, my aunt's family has caught one before and raised it this way. Just feed it with vegetable leaves on a daily basis."

"Then could you please help us? We have never done this before."

Aunt He asked them to prepare things, and in a few seconds she cut off the tips of the tail feathers and wings of the two chickens. Then she tied the chicken claws with the cloth strips that Jiang Yu brought and tied the other end to the wooden shed.

"That's it, it's very simple. The chicken's pecks hurt people, so when you feed it, just throw the vegetable leaves to it and don't get close to people so they won't get hurt."

Shen Wu thanked Aunt He again: "Thank you so much, Auntie. We have to trouble you to help us."

Aunt He waved her hand: "You're welcome. It's so late now and I should go back."

Shen Wu and Gu Zhou sent Aunt He out of the yard. Before leaving, Aunt He instructed Gu Zhou: "Remember to come early tomorrow to send the two children home. If you have something to do in town, please come to my house early. Your uncle Li's ox cart also has to go to town, so you can take the opportunity to go there."

"I'll leave first. I have to go back to cook. Don't see me off." Aunt He said and hurried home. The sun was setting, so she went home to prepare food for her boss.

Shen Wu stood at the gate of the courtyard, his mind still a little unclear. Thinking of the fact that Gu Zhou went out after lunch today, he asked, "Did you go out after lunch to find your aunt and tell her that I'm going to town tomorrow?"

Gu Zhou hummed and stopped talking.

Shen Wu was a little confused and asked the silent Gu Zhou: "Didn't we agree that I would go? Are you showing your brother and sister to your aunt because you want to go with her?"

"Hmm" Gu Zhou just hummed as usual, not knowing what to say.

Shen Wu sighed: "Since you believe in my background and my words, why don't you believe that I can do this job alone? I will go out to sell things, and you just stay at home and watch over your younger brothers and sisters."

This time, Gu Zhou finally spoke: "I trust you. It's because I trust you that I want to go with you. You are not familiar with this place and the situation. What if you get cheated or abducted by a beggar?"

Shen Wu instantly got angry after hearing his words: "Hey!!! What's wrong with you!!! Let me make it clear first, although I am in a body that looks similar to yours, I have lived many years longer than you, so I am still OK with this kind of basic exercises, okay? Don't underestimate me!"

Gu Zhou didn't understand the meaning of her words, and asked in confusion: "Chicken? Grass? ? What is kei?"

"You...it's something you don't understand anyway! Hey brother, can you stay at home? Why do you have to follow me?" Shen Wu was helpless. Why did he change his mind?

"No." Gu Zhou was firm in his opinion and had no intention of trying to convince anyone.

In fact, it was not agreed upon at the beginning. It was Shen Wu who unilaterally decided that she wanted to go. Gu Zhou originally wanted to say that he wanted to go with her, but after being rejected by her, Gu Zhou decided to follow her secretly when the time came.

Unexpectedly, my aunt came back in the afternoon to check on the family situation and see if there was anything needed, and I happened to tell her about this and she found out about it.
