The arrogant little husband is desperately flirting with the hunter

Chapter 380: Can there still be eggs if the hen is gone?

After the snow melted completely and was exposed to the sun for a few days, the ground that was originally covered with mud became dry and solid. You wouldn't step in mud when you go out, and it saved a lot of effort in washing shoes.

On the wall of the courtyard, Chu Xiao hung the boots he had worn a few days ago. Due to being brushed so many times, the good leather looked worn out.

Fortunately, Zhao Guizhi had made a lot of cloth shoes recently, so Chu Xiao had new shoes to wear, so he didn't take the leather boots too seriously.

In the main courtyard, the wolf cub sneaked over again, walked around the main room, and then started to pry open the window of Zhao Guizhi's room.

He looked into the house through the gap in the windowsill, then lay down lazily to bask in the sun. The spring sun was not that strong, so not to mention the wolf cubs and the hounds, even Chu Xiao felt a little drowsy sitting on the recliner in the yard.

Yan Sanmei was sitting next to him doing needlework, and was just about to ask Chu Xiao what pattern should be embroidered on Xiao Yuer's clothes.

She really didn't want to embroider the little fat fish anymore. If she continued, she would almost forget what the fish should look like.

When she turned her head, she found that Chu Xiao had closed his eyes, so she didn't say anything. She carefully got up and got a thin blanket to cover Chu Xiao.

Yan Zhennan, that idiot, followed Qiao Qingyun to the county town. Although he would come back during the day, he would come back late and leave early. Yan Zhenshen was so angry that he gave him all the kicks he hadn't given before.

Even though this eccentric guy is not at home, the house still needs to be built. Yan Zhenshen has been staying there for several days in a row, so the job of cleaning the old house has to fall on Zhao Guizhi and Chu Xiao.

As for Yan Sanmei, she didn't dare to use it. She was now learning to read and write in the village with her sisters. She came into contact with too many people a day and was afraid that she would bring the chicken plague back.

But no matter how careful they were, they still couldn't prevent it. After lunch, Zhao Guizhi went to the old house to feed the chickens. When she came back, she was holding a droopy-headed hen in her hand: "Xiao Ge'er, look, does this chicken look like it has the plague?"

Zhao Guizhi was a little anxious, so her voice was naturally loud. Chu Xiao, who was sleeping soundly, woke up with a start.

At the same time, the wolf cub lying under the eaves was also awakened by the fright. It stood up and ran to Zhao Guizhi, sniffing the hen in her hand for a long time.

When Chu Xiao and his third sister left the yard, they saw Zhao Guizhi throwing the hen on the ground. The wolf cub growled to scare the hen, but the hen just flapped her arms symbolically and lay on the ground without moving, as if she had no strength left.

Chu Xiao had never raised chickens properly, so how could he know what chicken plague looked like? He squatted down, grabbed the chicken's neck and sensed it with his mental power, but found only a slight fluctuation of its vitality.

"It's dying. Can this kind of chicken still be eaten?" Chu Xiao asked this because he naturally had no intention of feeding it to humans. But it should be okay to cook it and feed it to the dog, right?

"If it's infected with plague, you can't eat it. You will get the plague if you eat it. There was a village in the past that didn't believe in superstitions and thought it was a pity for the chickens to die of disease, so many families cooked and ate them. As a result, many people died, especially the elderly and children. There were only a few left." Zhao Guizhi couldn't help but sigh as she spoke.

After hearing what Zhao Guizhi said, Chu Xiao quickly kicked the wolf cub who was eager to pounce on the hen aside and said, "Get away from me! Didn't you hear that you can't eat this? If you eat it, you will die."

The wolf cub was just teasing the hen and knew that he shouldn't bite it. He was kicked for no reason and cried out in grievance. He raised his head and accused Chu Xiao with a miserable cry.

Following the cry of a child, the wolf cub immediately stopped making any noise and ran to the windowsill to look into the house.

Yan Zhengdao was taking a nap with Xiao Yuer, so he picked up the child and coaxed him gently. He left a crack in the window for fresh air, and when he looked through the crack he met the wolf cub's eyes.

He was used to seeing wolf cubs lying on windows, so he wasn't as frightened as before.

"Don't cry, Xiaoyu'er. Look, your wolf brother is here. Let's go to the main room to play, okay?"

The wolf cub whimpered twice outside the house. Xiao Yuer stopped sobbing and stretched out his little hands to grab things, obviously hearing the movement of the wolf cub.

"My eldest grandson, even wolf cubs are better than grandfathers here." Yan Zhengdao said as he let Xiaoyuer sit on the kang. He slowly got up and put on his shoes. At this time, Yan Sanmei had already walked in and wanted to carry Xiaoyuer out.

Xiao Yuer, however, giggled at Yan Sanmei and opened his arms for a hug. Yan Zhengdao was even more discouraged and pinched his little face: "You are such a heartless little thing. Grandpa is the one who spends the most time with you every day. Why do you dislike me so much?"

The little fish continued to giggle even when being pinched, revealing the little teeth that had just grown out of his mouth.

Yan Sanmei picked him up and said with a smile: "Our little fish will bite anyone he doesn't like. He didn't bite you, which means he still likes grandpa."

The only person in the family who has been bitten by Xiaoyuer so far is Yan Zhennan, but Yan Zhennan refuses to admit that Xiaoyuer dislikes him. It is obvious that she likes him very much, otherwise why would she kiss and bite him so much.

Outside the house, Zhao Guizhi and Chu Xiao were already digging a hole with shovels. The chickens that died of plague in the village were buried in deep pits to prevent them from being dug out and eaten by wild dogs.

The wolf cub looked back at Chu Xiao carrying the hen out. It wanted to follow him, but was reluctant to leave.

Just at this moment Yan Sanmei happened to come out carrying Xiaoyuer, and the wolf cub ran over, completely forgetting its original owner, shaking its head and jumping around at Xiaoyuer.

It was a big deal if the chickens at home got sick, so Zhao Guizhi went to the village to find an old man who knew about this to come and take a look.

After hearing the definite answer, both Zhao Guizhi and Yan Sanmei felt a little depressed, and they didn't know what to do for a moment.

Chu Xiao didn't have much experience, but he still grabbed a chicken from the old house and felt it with his mental power. He put the ones with strong vitality on one side and threw the dying ones on the other side.

"Let's try raising them separately first." When Yan Zhenshen came back in the evening, Chu Xiao told him about this and that he wanted to build a fence around the wasteland nearby.

Yan Zhenshen had no objection. The next day, he caught Yan Zhennan and told him not to go to the county town for the next few days. Knowing that something had happened to the chickens at home, he didn't dare to show off anymore, otherwise his mother would be in a bad mood and might chase him with a broom.

Yan Zhennan was not a lazy person. When he was almost busy building the house, he would go to the bamboo forest to cut bamboo. In the evening, when he did not go to the county town, he would follow Yan Zhengdao to make straw ropes.

Chu Xiao also carried a chicken to the back mountain, wanting to try out the method of improving vitality to see if it was feasible.

Several experiments have proven that improving vitality is indeed a method, which is to stop keeping them together with other chickens, otherwise they will become wilted again in a few days.

After expending a lot of mental energy and damaging a lot of trees, Chu Xiao looked at the chickens clucking in the newly built fence.

I couldn't help but curse a few times in my heart. This time, I really lost a lot of money in rescuing the hens. I only managed to save six. It really gave me a headache.
