Chicken Catching Team
"What a coward," snorted the girl.
The girl snorted, "If he didn't have money, I wouldn't serve him."
"Isn't that right?"
That's how a belated statement came to be.
The two girls also went away together.
This show was really ridiculous!
Ji Yunshu was dumbfounded.
Jing Rong couldn't help but laugh and put away the dagger on the table. At the same time, he asked Ji Yunshu, "Do you understand now?"
She shook her head again.
"Look at that Young Master Qiao, he doesn't have the slightest temper. It's surprising how timid he is. Would such a person really kill someone?"
Ugh!
So he was trying to provoke Qiao Zihua just now.
Ji Yunshu pondered. Qiao Zihua's fleeing appearance was still imprinted in her mind. Would such a person kill someone?
But —
"Don't forget, he often comes here to drink. When a person is drunk, they often do things that they normally wouldn't dare to do. So, it's not unreasonable to say that he killed someone while drunk."
"Then why don't we … follow him again."
"What?"
She was pulled up by Jing Rong and left the brothel. They hurriedly followed Qiao Zihua who had just fled.
On the main street, he walked while tidying up his clothes that had been splashed with tea.
He was indeed a person who loved cleanliness.
At this time, it was noon and there were many people on the street. She didn't know if Qiao Zihua didn't look where he was walking or if he was in a hurry, but he bumped into an old man who was carrying a basket of chickens.
The old man was old, so when he bumped into him, the burden on his shoulder fell off and the two large baskets fell to the ground.
He fell to the ground.
"Coo, coo, coo …"
The basket's mouth was smashed open and the chickens inside escaped, scurrying everywhere.
Some directly ran away and hid among the passersby. Some flew up and landed on the vendor's stall, flapping their wings and causing chaos in the surroundings.
The old man sat on the ground and clapped his hands wildly, shouting with all his might, "My chickens, my chickens …"
That was his lifeblood. It wasn't easy for him to raise these chickens, and he was prepared to sell them at the market. Who knew that they would run away just like that? He might as well die.
At the same time as the chickens scurried out of the two baskets, Qiao Zihua acted as if he had seen a ghost. He let out a loud cry, and his neck and shoulders shrunk into a ball. His eyes were incomparably wide open as he stared in terror at the chickens that were flying and scurrying all over the ground.
He seemed to be scared out of his wits. His legs trembled for a long time before he rushed into the crowd and disappeared.
When the old man saw that the culprit had run away and that he was temporarily unable to get up from the collision, he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Aiya, he ran away. My chicken, compensate me for my chicken."
More than ten chickens had already caused an uproar here.
The clean cloth that the peddlers were selling was trampled on by the chickens, and the chicken feathers from the noodle stalls were flying everywhere …
Seeing this, Ji Yunshu tugged at Jing Rong. "Quick, help me catch the chicken."
"What?"
He tilted his head, but he had already rolled up his sleeves to catch the chickens.
Jing Rong looked at the chaotic scene in front of him and helplessly rolled up his sleeves to help.
He joined the chicken catching team!
In less than half a stick of incense's time, they finally caught all the chickens and put them back into the cages.
It was strenuous!
The old man repeatedly thanked her.
Their clothes were extremely dirty, and there were even a few scratches on them. Their clothes and hair were covered in chicken feathers.
Their faces were also dirty.
Pfft!
Seeing Jing Rong in this state, Ji Yunshu couldn't help but laugh.
Jing Rong, on the other hand, kept his cool.
He endured it.
In any case, after meeting this woman, he would do anything.
At this time, the peddlers at the side angrily rushed out, and one by one, they extended their hands towards the old man, demanding money.
"Look at what your chickens have done to my things! Hurry up and compensate me. "
"My lanterns have been scratched and broken. I can't sell them at all."
"And look at my cloth. Look at how dirty it is!"
"My noodles have also been pecked by your chickens. Who would dare to come here to eat noodles in the future?"
"Hurry up and compensate me."
"Compensate me!"
… …
The creditors had arrived!
The old man's body was trembling, and his face was full of worry. He spread his hands, "Sirs, please do me a favor. I don't have money."
"Cut the crap. If you can't take out the money to compensate us, then you can give us your chickens."
"That won't do. I rely on these chickens to support my family. My wife is still counting on me to sell these chickens to buy medicine for her."
"You have to support your family, and so do we."
With that said, those people went to open the cages to catch the chickens.
"Wait."
He took out a bag of silver, took out a few ingots, and handed it to one of the people. "Is this enough?"
Yes!
Yes!
That person held the silver with a smile, and hurriedly went to distribute it.
Then, he stuffed the rest of the silver into the old man's hands. "These chickens, just take it that I bought them. Send them to the yamen."
People from the yamen?
The old man was stunned for a moment, but he quickly recovered and shouted, "Benefactor!"
With tears in his eyes, he wanted to kneel to express his gratitude, but Jing Rong hurriedly pulled him back.
"There's no need. Hurry up and send the chickens to the yamen, then go get the medicine."
"Yes, yes, yes. Many thanks to the two young masters."
The old man carried his load and headed in the direction of the yamen.
Jing Rong looked at Ji Yunshu's sneaky smile.
His expression was solemn, and his face was stern. "You're no better than this Prince. Alright, hurry up and go back."
Then, he left.
She hurriedly followed his footsteps.
When they arrived at the yamen, Jing Rong pulled her through the back door, carried her, and jumped over the wall.
After all, if they were seen in this state, it would damage their image.
But …
On the way back to the North Courtyard, they bumped into Zuo Yao.
Zuo Yao was stunned when he saw the two people covered in dirt, messy hair, and feathers.
"You are?"
Jing Rong's expression was cold, and he put on the airs of a prince. He clasped his hands behind his back. "What? It's only been a few hours, but Lord Zuo doesn't recognize this Prince? "
Although his clothes and hair were messy, his dignified aura did not diminish, and his noble temperament was not affected in the slightest.
Zuo Yao was shocked, and quickly cupped his hands. "So it's Your Highness. This lowly official was blind, and didn't know that Your Highness had returned. Please forgive me, Your Highness."
"This Prince and Teacher Ji were tired, so I came back."
"But Your Highness, what are you doing?" He looked him up and down.
"You don't need to care so much. You can leave."
"Yes." Zuo Yao did not dare to say more, and quickly left.
Ji Yunshu covered her mouth and laughed, and walked to his side. "Your Highness is quite good at catching chickens. You can catch them one by one."
It was clearly a compliment, but he could hear the awkwardness in it.
He wanted to say something, but the small figure had already walked past him, and continued forward.
Jing Rong sighed, and called out, "Lang Po."
Lang Po, who was hiding in the dark, jumped out and waited by his side.
"Where did you go just now?"
"I've been following Your Highness." Lang Po blinked his sincere eyes.
Pfft!
Jing Rong spat out a mouthful of blood.
He glared at him. "Since you've been following us, why didn't you come out to catch chickens?"
"This subordinate …" He felt wronged. "Your Highness, you said that unless you and Teacher Ji are in danger, we will only come out. Otherwise … we are not allowed to disturb you."
