Siheyuan: Sizhu starts blindly and takes a new path

Banggeng, who had just had a full meal, didn't expect that he would have to eat steamed bread every day again. Although he was looking at his homework book, he was thinking about how to keep his remaining brothers. During the Chinese New Year, he saw Xu Damao bring back two chickens. Since then, he has been practicing the movements of Shazhu killing chickens in his mind every day. He thought he was ready, but the chickens were never ready and were always brought into the house by Xu Damao.

There is a famous saying: "Don't be afraid of thieves stealing, be afraid of thieves thinking about it." The chicken that was thought about by the stick was finally ready to die. One morning in late February, Xu Damao left in a hurry and forgot to move the chicken back to the house. Qin Jingru went back to her parents' home yesterday.

Banggeng, who came to the backyard every day, seized this rare opportunity. He quickly put a chicken into his schoolbag and went to school. Every teacher who came to the class wondered if they were hallucinating. They kept hearing the "cuckoo, cuckoo" sound, but they couldn't find the source of the sound. It turned out that Banggeng had thrown his bag and chicken outside the classroom early in the morning and covered them with leaves and grass. He sat under the window and just happened to be able to see that place.

After school, Banggeng called up Fatty and a few of his followers who had always been loyal to him, and went to the open space they often went to. On the way, he asked one of his followers to go home and get a knife and salt.

The children were shocked to see Bang Geng grabbing the chicken's wings and head and slashing its trachea with a knife. Last time, Bang Geng broke the chicken's neck, but this time, he slashed its neck. There was no bleeding last time, but this time, Bang Geng tightly grasped the chicken, which was struggling violently, and held it upside down to bleed it. The blood-spurting scene left a deep impression on the children. It was nothing for adults to kill chickens before, and the children had seen it all, but seeing their peers do this, they were shocked and admired.

Seeing everyone's eyes, Bang Geng was extremely proud.

The bleeding posture was maintained for about two minutes. The chicken stopped struggling and Bang Geng threw the chicken to the ground. Just as he had practiced in his mind, the chicken was dead.

After gutting the chicken, he took out the chicken's internal organs, rubbed some salt into the chicken's cavity, found some water, mixed it with mud, and wrapped the chicken up. While working, Bang Geng said to his men, "See, this is what I learned from the chef in our yard. This is called mud-wrapped chicken. It's delicious."

The mud-wrapped chicken was thrown into the fire. After more than half an hour, the mud was slowly dried and cracked. The fragrance emanated from it. The children smelled the smell and drooled. They watched the stickman use a stick to poke the chicken out of the fire and smash it. A lot of fragrance gushed out. Some children couldn't control their saliva and dripped on the chicken. But no one cared. Everyone stretched out their hands to tear the chicken. The quick ones grabbed the chicken legs and wings, the slow ones only grabbed some chicken breasts, and the slower ones only grabbed the chicken heads.

Xiaopang was quick and grabbed a chicken leg and a wing. When others tried to snatch the chicken leg from him, he handed it to Banggeng, "You didn't even remember to leave some for the boss. You guys just wanted to eat it all. Without the boss, how could we have chicken to eat?"

After hearing this, everyone tore off some of the chicken they had grabbed and handed it to Bang Geng. Although the chicken did not fill Bang Geng's stomach, it gave him his own team, and his ruthless image had already deeply rooted in the hearts of these children.

Qin Jingru and Xu Damao returned home one after another. When Xu Damao saw the chicken coop outside, he felt something was wrong. As expected, one chicken was missing from the coop. He called out to Qin Jingru and asked, "Jingru, why is there one chicken missing from our house?"

Qin Jingru replied: "When I came back, I saw only one left. I thought you gave it away."

"Who am I sending this to? It was the village chief who showed the movie during the Chinese New Year. He felt bad that I couldn't come back for the New Year, so he didn't want to compensate me. I was still thinking about waiting for the chicken to lay an egg a day."

"You mean our chickens were stolen?" Qin Jingru's eyes widened.

Xu Damao looked at Qin Jingru and said, "What's the point of opening your eyes? You go find the first uncle and I'll find the second uncle. Let them do justice for us. Why not leave the uncle in charge?"

"Is the Second Uncle still in charge? Does anyone listen to him now?" Qin Jingru questioned.

"Who cares? The street office hasn't removed him anyway, so he's still the boss and he has to work for me."

Soon, the three uncles came over. The second uncle was dragged here by Xu Damao. When the first uncle came, he went to the front yard and called the third uncle as well. After the three listened to Xu Damao's explanation, the first uncle asked the third aunt who came to watch the fun whether she had seen any strangers during the day, or whether she had seen any chickens run away by themselves. The answers were all negative.

There was no other choice but to look for him. Even though Xu Damao was not popular, everyone knew about it and they all helped to look for him in a pretend manner.

As if it was intentional, a faint aroma of meat wafted from Sha Zhu's house.

Xu Damao pulled the second uncle over and asked, "Second uncle, smell it, is this the smell of chicken soup?"

"Yes, it's chicken soup. Where did it come from?" The second uncle followed the smell to the window of Sha Zhu's house. He didn't dare to go in. He had suffered too many losses and was a little scared.

The second uncle had no choice but to find the first and third uncles, and the three brothers knocked on the door of Shazhu together. Xu Damao and Qin Jingru followed silently behind.

Sha Zhu was talking to Yu Li about how to make chicken soup more delicious and bring out the flavor. He heard someone knocking on the door, and when he opened it, he saw three uncles blocking his door, and almost every family in the yard had someone standing behind them.

Sha Zhu asked: "Hey guys, what's the matter?"

Seeing that the second and third uncles had no intention of talking, the first uncle had to act like the ugly guy and said, "Zhu Zi, Xu Damao's chicken is missing. We couldn't find it in the yard, and it didn't run away. The second uncle said he smelled that your family was stewing chicken." The first uncle's wording was quite cautious, but he didn't say that he suspected Sha Zhu of stealing the chicken.

Sha Zhu laughed and said, "My family has stewed chicken. Is that a problem? Can't we eat chicken at home?"

Xu Damao didn't say anything, but Qin Jingru couldn't wait any longer, "Shazhu, did you steal my chicken? Is the chicken you stewed mine?"

Yu Li was so angry that she laughed. She had seen stupid people, but she had never seen anyone as stupid as this. She dared to accuse someone of stealing without any evidence. She was crazy.

Sha Zhu said to Xu Damao, "Sun thief, take good care of your wife. I don't hit women, but you can't control your wife, so you have to take the blame for her."

"Try to touch my man. You stole my chicken and you think you are right." Qin Jingru continued to provoke Sha Zhu's nerves and pushed Xu Damao to the edge of being beaten.

Yu Li came over and pulled Sha Zhu to stop him from attacking Xu Damao. She is now a staff member of the street office. Although no one in the yard knows about it, if there is a conflict between her family and the masses and she does not stop it, the matter will become a big deal and be known by the leaders. It will be easy for people who do not know the truth to gossip about it. Otherwise, when Qin Jingru first said that Sha Zhu stole a chicken, Yu Li would slap him in the face. You have to protect your own man and feel sorry for him yourself.

Sha Zhu was stopped by Yu Li, and his anger subsided a little. He said to Xu Damao again: "Sun thief, this chicken was bought by my wife herself. If you lose a chicken in your family, go find it somewhere else. Don't come to me and make yourself uncomfortable. This is my last warning. If you talk nonsense again, I will not be polite. There are already one and two."
