In the backyard of the Lin Mansion in Beijing, Lian Youyou was wandering around in front of a chicken coop. There were two or three roosters and a dozen hens in the chicken coop. Because of the arrival of Lian Youyou, a stranger, they all huddled together, unsure of what Lian Youyou was going to do.
Among the three roosters, there was a big black one with particularly bright feathers. Although it was black, it looked colorful under the sun.
"My dear girl, the master's chickens are all here, what are you going to do?" The one who spoke was an old woman in sackcloth. Their master had died two days ago.
Speaking of Lin Yuanbao, the Mr. Lin of the Lin Mansion, he is a famous philanthropist in the capital. On the first day of every month, he would give out porridge at the gate of his mansion. Poor families and beggars from far and near would come to the Lin Mansion to line up for a bowl of porridge on this day.
However, starting from two years ago, Mr. Lin suddenly became stingy, and became more and more stingy. First he stopped giving out porridge, and then he dismissed all the servants in the house. Although thrift is a virtue, his thriftiness was a bit excessive and abnormal.
All the housework fell on his wives and concubines, and he would deduct their household allowances. He no longer bought vegetables, but grew vegetables and raised chickens at home, and only ate porridge every day, and still sold eggs.
This year, his stinginess has become even worse and even more abnormal. Just a few days ago, he swallowed gold because he couldn't bear to spend it!
He left this world in the manner of a miser, swallowing the gold in his stomach, and finally being able to be with the gold forever.
The story of Mr. Lin spread throughout the capital. Because no one could understand why Mr. Lin, who was originally a kind man, became more and more stingy, and finally loved money so much that he swallowed gold. This was unreasonable. Even if someone loved money, he would not be so stupid as to swallow gold, because that would kill him.
Especially Mr. Lin’s family, they felt that the entire change of Mr. Lin Yuanbao could be described as weird.
Lian Youyou knew about this because a relative of Wang Quan's family was originally a servant of Lin Yuanwai's family. The relative came to see Wang Quan these two days, so he chatted with him for a while, saying that Lin Yuanwai's whole change was a bit weird. Lian Youyou, who was lying on the beam basking in the sun, happened to hear it.
Lian Youyou is now standing in front of Mr. Lin’s chicken coop, staring at the big black chicken inside.
Mr. Lin’s wives are now “relieved”. Even if Mr. Lin swallows up gold, he can’t swallow much. They can finally have money to continue their lives.
But unexpectedly, Lian Youyou came early in the morning and said that she felt that Mr. Lin’s death was very strange. If she didn’t find out the strangeness, the next person in charge of their family would do the same.
No one knows a man better than his wife. The one who knows you best is the one beside you. Mrs. Lin had actually sensed something was wrong when Lin Yuanbao started to change. The whole thing made her feel weird, but she didn't dare to say much.
Now that Lian Youyou said this, she felt a little panicked and immediately invited Lian Youyou in.
The beautiful black chicken in the chicken coop was stared at by Lian Youyou, unable to move. Its pair of dark eyes were staring straight ahead without looking away. It huddled in the innermost part of the chicken coop, its whole body tense, as if it was afraid that Lian Youyou would catch it and make a roast chicken.
Lian stared at him for a while, then smiled. She looked at Madam Lin with a serious look in her eyes: "Madam Lin, Mr. Lin's death is indeed strange. There is a demon in your family."
Madam Lin was terrified: "Monster, monster?!"
“Shh—” Lian Youyou raised her index finger at her, “Don’t make this public. I’ll catch this monster for you today, and he won’t harm your family again.”
Mrs. Lin nodded repeatedly after hearing this.
Lian walked slowly into the chicken coop and went straight to the biggest, darkest rooster.
The big black rooster saw her walking towards him and nervously moved to the side, following the wall.
Lian Youyou stretched out her hand to him, and he immediately pecked at her. Lian Youyou immediately shouted: "How dare you peck me!"
Her harsh words frightened Mrs. Lin, and also frightened the black chicken so much that it dared not move. Lian Youyou easily lifted him up, wow, he's really fat!
After Lian Youyou brought out the big black chicken, she smiled at Madam Lin and said, "Okay, I've caught this monster. You don't have to be afraid anymore."
Mrs. Lin was stunned for a long time. Is this to catch a demon? Is he coming to their house to steal **
Lian Youyou naturally saw the suspicion in Mrs. Lin's heart, so she pointed at the black chicken and said, "This is a monster, just watch carefully." As she spoke, Lian Youyou grabbed the black chicken's feathers and pulled it out.
Immediately, Black Chicken spoke: "Ah——"
This scream shocked Mrs. Lin, because this scream was obviously not the sound of a chicken. Although it was still the voice of a chicken, the word "ah" was clearly a human word.
Lian Youyou left in a leisurely manner, carrying the black chicken while Mrs. Lin was in a daze. Now, their Nine Gates were no longer short of money.
The entire Nine Sects stood around the round table, on which was the big black chicken that Lian Youyou had caught. The big black chicken stared at everyone who was watching him with eyes as big as red beans, warily looking around.
Lord Yao Guang, Fat Buddha, Yun Yao and Yun Xi, Coffin Master and San Niang all stared at the black chicken curiously, not understanding why Lian Youyou suddenly caught a black chicken
Since Little Lettuce couldn't understand it, she became even more curious.
"The big rooster is about to crow, it's too noisy so early in the morning~~" Sanniang said disdainfully, "Let's just stew it."
"Hiss... Youyou, if you want to catch a chicken, catch an old hen. It's delicious to make soup with it. As for this rooster... how about making spicy diced chicken?" Master Yao Guang looked at everyone with a smile.
Everyone nodded, and there was chicken to eat today.
The Fat Buddha put his hands together and said: "Amitabha, chicken, chicken, I will help you to be liberated in a moment."
"Ha, we already have a black cat, and now we have a black chicken." Yunxi looked at Heiyan who was squatting nearby with amusement.
Heiyan's face had been dark since Lian Youyou took Fu Mingrui's hairpin, and it has been dark ever since now.
"This is not an ordinary black chicken." He Shiqi suddenly spoke. Everyone was surprised for a long time about He Shiqi's "normality". Of course, no one asked why, or doubted who was in He Shiqi's body.
It is definitely not easy to offend Master Lian’s friends, and talking too much will only bring you trouble.
After He Shiqi spoke, everyone looked at Lian Youyou.
Lian lay leisurely in the yard, smiling mysteriously.
Suddenly, Lin Tingjun reached out and grabbed the black chicken, and the black chicken screamed immediately: "Ah-ah-"
His scream shocked everyone. This is a demon chicken!
Lin Tingjun then grabbed a chicken feather, and the black chicken screamed in panic: "No - no -"
However, his scream was powerless, Lin Tingjun plucked out a black hair cleanly and neatly!
At the moment when the black feather left the black chicken, the feather turned golden instantly! In just a blink of an eye, a golden chicken feather came into everyone's sight! (To be continued)
