"What should I do now, Mr. Lu is still waiting..."
After the two officials from Nanling City Forestry Bureau left Chenjiacun, they drove towards Liujiazhuang, all with embarrassing expressions.
According to the previous plan, they were responsible for taking Chen Youcai away, and then pretended to "encounter" Lu Yichen halfway.
After that, it was Lu Yichen who defended Chen Youcai righteously, and denounced the two of them for their direct arrest.
In this way, Lu Yichen's image of brilliance and justice in Chen Youcai's heart was established, and he casually expressed to him that he wanted to buy the colorful chicken as a birthday gift for his elders...
Do you, Chen Youcai, still have the nerve to refuse?
Mixing conspiracy and conspiracy has always been Lu Yichen's forte.
It's a pity that he seemed to have miscalculated a little this time. He never expected that a group of people from the Nanling Zoo would be killed halfway.
"What's the matter with you, didn't you agree to wait on the side of the provincial road?"
At the intersection of Liujiazhuang, Lu Yichen took Fatty Long and others out, and happened to see the two disgraced officials of the Forestry Bureau.
Lu Yichen's face darkened slightly, he had already thought of something, so he shook his head immediately.
"Mr. Lu, we, we didn't know that things would turn out like this. Who knew that countryman named Chen Youcai was actually an honorary advisor to the Nanling Zoo..."
After briefly explaining the matter, an official from the Forestry Bureau had a bitter expression on his face.
"Professor Ye keeps saying that he knows Director Ma, and we are also afraid. After all, Director Yang told us about it. Director Ma should, should not know..."
"It's okay, thank you for your hard work."
Fatty Long and the three of them all had dark faces, and they felt bad luck in their hearts. Seeing the big rooster in their hands fly away again, they were almost pissed off.
Lu Yichen shook his head with a smile, patted the shoulders of the two officials lightly, and said a few words of comfort.
Those two didn't dare to stay any longer, and hurriedly drove back to Nanling City.
"Young Master Lu, Chen Youcai's luck is really good, and he escaped a catastrophe again!"
Fatty Long touched the scratches on his face, gritted his teeth and said in a hateful voice: "I think we can just find two people and tie him up, it will save us a lot of trouble."
In the end, his fat face was gloomy, and a pair of small eyes shone fiercely.
"Use your brains, Chen Youcai can be regarded as a famous figure after all, if you dare to mess around, aren't you afraid of being found out?"
Lu Yichen glanced at Fatty Long expressionlessly, and said lightly: "A gentleman deceives with the right, not with sincerity."
"...Hey, Young Master Lu, why don't you tell us something we can understand?"
Fatty Long and the three looked at each other and laughed dryly.
"To put it simply, to deal with someone like Chen Youcai, who prefers softness to toughness, don't engage in crooked ways, just open and honest schemes."
Lu Yichen was suppressing his anger, thinking to himself that he would accept such subordinates as Fatty Long... He let out a foul breath and said, "Tomorrow I will go back to work in Jinling."
"I will personally visit Chen Youcai tonight, so please don't follow me."
"……Yes."
Fatty Long and the three dared not go against Lu Yichen's words, they nodded like chickens pecking at rice.
At the same time, at the entrance of Chenjiacun, Chen Youcai and others were sending Dong Mingguang, Professor Ye and his party out of the village.
"You are talented, why don't you consider donating colorful chickens to the zoo for research?"
Professor Ye's heart was not dead, he stared at Chen Youcai eagerly and said, "I saw the fish pond in your yard just now, and there are two big fish covered with golden scales, which seem to be crucian carp..."
"Professor Ye, I am also a colorful chicken raised by mistake. I gave it to you. What should I bring to the agricultural exhibition?"
Chen Youcai's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly smiled and said, "And you said it just now, this is a common phenomenon of atavism, nothing unusual."
He didn't dare to hand over the chicken to a scientific research expert like Professor Ye. If he really researched something, he would not be able to tell with ten mouths.
So after thinking about it, Chen Youcai still bit the bullet and declined Professor Ye's offer to ask for a chicken.
"You, you really don't have the slightest scientific research spirit. Let's see if I will come to help you next time!"
Professor Ye's voice was trembling with anger, and he was heartbroken, as if Chen Youcai had robbed him of his scientific research achievements.
Chen Youcai had no choice but to offer a tail feather just taken from the colorful chicken buttocks with both hands, which made Professor Ye turn his anger into joy and left contentedly.
"Go back to the zoo sometime, don't forget, your kid is still our honorary advisor."
Before leaving, Dong Mingguang waved his hands with Chen Youcai and said, "We still have to go to the next county to do research. Make a note of this meal first, and you can treat it later."
"Okay, Uncle Dong, go slowly, Professor Ye, go slowly."
Chen Youcai's heart warmed, he waved his hands, and watched the convoy of people go away before turning back to his small courtyard.
"So, the previous two were fake, trying to trick you into selling the colorful chicken?"
There were still many villagers sitting around in the courtyard, waiting for Chen Youcai to explain today's bizarre experience.
After listening to Chen Youcai's narration, the villagers all slammed their mouths, as if watching a strange TV series.
"The chicken is indeed a scourge, and I reckon it might as well be sold if there is a buyer."
Chen Dazhuang took two puffs of his cigarette, then looked at Chen Youcai, and seriously suggested.
"What the fuck, didn't you see that others are trying so hard to get the chicken? What does that mean?"
Chen Daqiang, who was squatting by the side, was unhappy, and patted his knees and said loudly: "This chicken, that is a treasure. I still think about our village, so I have to rely on it to make a name for myself."
"Is fame more important than life?"
Chen Dazhuang stomped out the cigarette butt, shook his head and said, "If you want to keep it, keep it. When something happens in the future, you will regret it."
The party broke up unhappy, Chen Youcai sent the chattering Chen Daqiang out, and went back to the kitchen to cook a simple dinner. The father and son sat around in the main room illuminated by the incandescent lamp, and no one said a word.
Just when the atmosphere was so dull that it was extremely uncomfortable, someone knocked lightly on the courtyard door, causing Chen Daqiang and Chen Youcai to raise their heads and look sideways.
"Lu Yichen?"
Chen Youcai put down the bowl and chopsticks, got up and opened the door, staring at the lone figure carrying the gift box outside the door in astonishment.
"I'm here to visit Uncle Chen. I'm going back to work in Jinling tomorrow. If I don't come, I won't have time."
Lu Yichen glanced at the main room, and said with a smile: "You really don't invite me in? Are you afraid that I'll lose my meal? It's okay, I came here after dinner."
"No, please come in."
Chen Youcai's heart skipped a beat, he quickly invited Lu Yichen into the room with a smile, and then introduced his purpose to Chen Dazhuang.
After some random chatter, Lu Yichen sat upright, held the phone in his palm, and looked sincerely at Chen Youcai.
"Brother talented, I have an unfeeling request, and I hope you can agree to it."
He paused, and said with a embarrassed smile: "There is an old man in my family who has been friends with us for a long time, and he is about to hold his [-]th birthday in Dragon City, the imperial capital."
"I had already prepared a birthday gift, but after I saw the big rooster raised by Brother Youcai, I had a bold idea."
Chen Youcai opened his eyes slightly, nodded half-understood and said, "Tell me."
"I implore Brother Youcai to sell me the chicken, and I am willing to bid 20 yuan!"
After Lu Yichen finished speaking in a deep voice, there was only a bang, but the rice bowl in Chen Dazhuang's hand slipped from his palm and fell on the table of the Eight Immortals with a muffled sound.
