Mountain and sea essence

The old man Qiao, who raised chickens at the entrance of Maoyang Village, passed away—he died without illness or pain.

Old Man Qiao's two sons rushed back from other provinces and took care of the old father's funeral.

Before his death, Old Man Qiao built a bamboo forest in the mountains and raised more than 30 chickens.After finishing the funeral for the old man Qiao, the two brothers of the Qiao family distributed the chickens raised by the old father to the neighbors and elders in the village, as well as the village committee cadres, thanking them for taking care of their old father on weekdays.

In the end, only one chicken remained.

As for how to arrange the last chicken, the Qiao family brothers had a hard time.

The breed of this chicken is different from those chickens sent out. It is a male black-bone chicken with snow-white feathers and purple-black crown.But the reason why the Qiao brothers were in trouble was not the breed of the chicken, but the origin of the chicken.

20 years ago, old man Qiao picked up an egg in the mountains. Seeing that it was a live egg, he let the brooding hen try to incubate it, and this silky chicken hatched.A white-haired silky chicken emerged from a group of yellow-haired native chickens, and it was no surprise that it received a different treatment.Old Man Qiao cherished this silky chicken very much, no matter how much the customers who came to buy the chicken offered, he insisted not to sell it.I don't know how many batches of native chickens have been sold, but silky chickens have been raised for 20 years.

The silky chicken that my old father has raised as a baby for 20 years is naturally different from the native chickens raised for sale. Whether it is sold or given away, it is inappropriate.Moreover, this black-bone chicken, the Qiao family brothers, can see each other when they come back every year and holidays. After so many years, they have a little bit of affection.So - only this silky chicken cannot be disposed of at will.The most appropriate way is to stay and continue to raise them.

So, here comes the question - how to raise this chicken?

The two Qiao brothers work in the city, and the place where they live is not convenient for raising poultry.Entrusting it to relatives in my hometown to take care of it, I feel uneasy.Generally, the lifespan of domestic chickens is more than ten years, but this silky chicken is now 20 years old!Proper old chicken among old chickens!I'm afraid that if one of them is not taken care of well, the chicken will die.As soon as the old father left, they took care of the old father's beloved silkie and returned to their hometown. This was definitely an unacceptable thing for the two brothers of the Qiao family.

The Qiao brothers had been worrying for two days, and finally came up with a good idea—to take the silkie to the zoo in the city where they work for foster care.The zoo has a large venue, suitable for free-range chickens, and there are professional breeders who know how to take care of silkies.The zoo in their working city is also convenient for them to visit at any time.

As soon as the idea was finalized, the two brothers of the Qiao family immediately found a relationship and contacted the zoo to agree on the matter of silkie foster care.Early in the morning three days later, the old man Qiao's precious silky chicken was taken away from Maoyang Village by the two brothers of Qiao's family and headed for Huize City.

Qiao Jun is a silky chicken.But he is not an ordinary silky chicken, he is a refined chicken, the essence of chicken!It's a monster!Qiao Jun is a chicken raised by the old man Qiao. As a handsome chicken, it is natural to reflect it in the name, so he named himself Qiao Jun.

In mid-August this year, the old man Joe who raised him passed away.In early September, Old Man Qiao's two sons brought him to Huize City.Qiao Jun knew that the Qiao brothers planned to send him to the zoo, but he had a lot of opinions about this new place.Qiao Jun has long been yearning for big cities. He often watches the cityscapes on TV with Old Man Qiao, dreaming that one day he can go to the big cities instead of being trapped in a small world like a zoo.Qiao Jun is also very sad when old man Qiao passed away, but Jisheng will continue, and Jisheng's dream cannot be given up yet!So—on the way Boss Joe drove him to the zoo, he ran away!

When Boss Qiao’s car stopped at the intersection of red lights, Qiao Jun in the trunk raised his chicken paw, flexibly opened the door of the bamboo chicken coop, and kicked the big apple that was resting on the door of the cage away with one paw. Get out of the coop.

The cover of the trunk was not closed tightly. The boss of the Qiao family was afraid that he would be bored, so he specially found two sticks as supports to support the cover, leaving a four-finger-wide gap in the trunk.Qiao Jun stuffed his head into the gap, and with a pounce, pushed the trunk cover up.Then he flapped his wings and jumped out of the trunk without any hesitation, flopped across the green belt beside him, galloped across the non-motorized lane, and ran wildly on the sidewalk amidst the exclamations of passers-by.

--oh!In a bustling big city, I, Qiao Jun, are here!

"The chicken in your trunk is gone!!!"

Qiao Jun heard someone reminding the boss of the Qiao family loudly, he looked back, and saw the boss of the Qiao family hurriedly drove the car to the side of the road, got out of the car and chased him!Qiao Jun quickly accelerated his running speed, and the two chicken feet ran into a round afterimage.

Turn left!

Turn right across the street!

Turn right into the flower beds through the park!

After running for two streets, Qiao Jun managed to get rid of the boss of the Qiao family.

Boss Joe, take care, I will go back to see you when I have time.

Qiao Jun glanced at the way where the boss Qiao was no longer there, lowered his head and combed the feathers on his chest that were blown by the wind, then held his head high, turned around briskly, and walked into another small road with few people.

Walking in the cool autumn wind, Qiao Jun was overwhelmed by the excitement of arriving in the city for the first time.

There are many high-rise buildings in a row; there is a constant flow of traffic; rows of shops are decorated in an interesting and neat way.Qiao Jun was dazzled by the sight, and his heart was surging.At night, when the lanterns first come on, the city is covered with colorful lights, which amazes Qiao Jun even more.Human cities are so gorgeous, even more beautiful than those seen on TV.

Hidden in the flower bed, after Qiao Jun watched a fountain light and shadow show, the excitement of the country chicken's first arrival in the city subsided a little, and then he felt hungry.

Leaving the Fountain Square and avoiding the crowd, Qiao Jun walked down a street in a low-key manner.

Everything is good in a big city, but it's hard to find food.When he was in Maoyang Village, even if old man Qiao didn't feed him, there were a lot of wild fruits and game on the mountain, so he never had to worry about food.There are also many trees planted in this big city, but none of them bear fruit, and there is no game.He passed many shops with shiny polished glass, and the strong smell of food wafted out of them, but he had to pay to eat there, and he only had chicken feathers and no money.

It seems that it is not an easy task to wander in a big city!Qiao Jun sighed sadly.

Qiao Jun stopped, shook his feathers, and suddenly smelled a strong smell of meat, wafting from the front.Following the smell of meat, he came to an alley.

It was late at night, and there were few pedestrians on the street outside, but the alley was extremely lively inside.The barbecue stalls are lined up, and the stall owners are all showing their talents. The tables and stools in front of the stalls are full of diners, eating delicious barbecue skewers, laughing and cursing while drinking and chatting happily.

sting --

Qiao Jun sucked back the saliva that flowed out, feeling even hungrier!Ah ah ah ah ah!If he had known, he would have brought out the big apple that Joe boss stuffed in his chicken coop!

A big tabby cat came out from under the diner's table near the entrance of the alley, and barked softly towards the female diner, who gave it a piece of beef.The cat lowered its head and sniffed the piece of beef, turned its head and glanced warily at Qiao Jun who was hiding in the shadow of the alley entrance, then picked up the piece of beef, and quickly got under the table, as if Qiao Jun was about to rush at the next second. Go up to the cat's mouth to grab the meat.

Qiao Jun: "..."

whispering sound!He didn't care about the piece of meat that was thrown on the ground!He is a mature chicken, and he is not at the same level as this kind of immature mortal cat!

Qiao Jun snorted lightly in disdain, and couldn't help sniffing again—the barbecue smells so good!It is even more fragrant than the pork rib soup cooked by Old Man Qiao.

Qiao Jun was intoxicated by the craving aroma of barbecue for a while, and suddenly noticed something strange, he felt a faint evil spirit in the strong smell of grilled skewers.

There are monsters!

Qiao Jun has never seen a monster other than himself in Maoyang Village, and this is the first time he has encountered it!

Qiao Jun blinked his eyes, and his gaze traveled through the bustling alley, and he quickly identified the source of the evil spirit—the third booth at the entrance of the alley, a short young man wearing a blue apron grilling squid.

Qiao Jun walked around behind the barbecue booth, stepped on the shadow by the wall, and walked towards the third booth silently.

"Boss, add two skewers of grilled corn!"

"Hey! Come right away!" Xu Chang, the owner of the third barbecue stall, answered while picking up a bottle of chili powder, and sprinkled chili powder on the freshly grilled squid skewers.He tapped the bottom of the bottle twice and found that the paprika had run out.I had no choice but to put down the bottle and bend down to get the seasoning from the small iron cabinet next to it.

As soon as the iron cabinet door was opened, Xu Chang caught sight of a chicken.

Xu Chang: "???" When did he put a silky chicken in the seasoning cabinet? ? ?

Silkie and Xu Chang looked at each other for a moment, and then said, "Hello."

Xu Chang slammed the cabinet door.
