Chapter 660: The Hairy Thief
……
The women's college has been very lively recently, different from the past, in the past, you could hear Lang Lang's reading every day, and recently I heard a group of little ladies cheering from time to time.
And next door to the household registration department of Liu Shilang's house has recently appeared a strange phenomenon, most of the hairs on the neck of several powerful roosters raised by his family are bald, which looks very awkward, especially when he stretches his neck and crows, he can't look directly, and one or two more bald roosters come out every three or five times.
"Check, find out to the old man, who is so shameless and boring, and actually strokes the old man's feathers!"
Liu Shilang likes roosters very much on weekdays, so looking at the more and more bald-necked roosters at home, Liu Shilang can't eat well, and he smashes the dishes and chopsticks in his hand on the table and yells in a depressed manner.
"Yes, the old man is angry, and the old servant will arrange for someone to investigate, and the thief will definitely be caught!" The housekeeper was frightened and hurriedly turned around and went out to make arrangements.
"Don't be angry, husband, it's probably just a child's prank!" Liu Shilang's wife hurriedly persuaded him.
"Hmph, plucked the old man's rooster feathers, how can the old man take it out to fight cocks with others in the future, even if he takes it out, it will cause jokes, where does the old man's face go? The old man has to catch this bastard today! ”
And today just happened to be closed in the middle of the day and didn't have to go to court, so Liu Shilang decided to go out to catch this shameless thief in person after breakfast.
The area of Liu's house is not small, and the area of the women's college next door is about the same, there are more than 20 acres, more than 10 houses, the chicken pen is under the courtyard wall on the far right side of the yard, every day these big roosters like to fly to the courtyard wall to crow and fight, each one is brocade feather long tail shiny oil, many visiting guests are full of praise after seeing it.
And this group of big roosters has always been the pride of Liu Shilang, because these big roosters have helped him win a lot of fame in the cockfighting circle in Xianyang.
Almost all the princes and princes of Xianyang know that Liu Shilang of the household department is good at raising chickens, not to mention powerful and beautiful, and is good at fighting, every time there are some cockfighting activities, Liu Shilang can always be heard very happy and proud.
Liu Shilang came to the chicken pen with a black face and hands behind his back, and found that the housekeeper was also there, and he was also teaching a few subordinates.
"Do you know who did it?" Liu Shilang was in a very bad mood.
"Back to the master, these big roosters are kept in the chicken pen, every morning and evening, we feed and count the number on time, and no one will approach the chicken pen on weekdays, I don't know why this strange thing happens these days......," a servant replied tremblingly.
"My lord, I guess...... Guess it might be a weasel......"
"Fart, how can the weasel pick up the fur, be careful that the old man kicks you to death!" Liu Shilang's angry face twisted and kicked the talking servant to the ground.
"The lord spares his life, his subordinates really don't know what it is that gets rid of the rooster feathers!" Several servants knelt on the ground and kowtowed in fright.
"Are you sure these roosters have been kept here in captivity all along, and there are no other suspicious things on weekdays?"
"Master, the old servant can testify that these big roosters have always been kept here in captivity, and there are no idlers waiting for them to approach, but these chickens sometimes fly to the girls' college next door because of their lively nature......" said the old housekeeper, pointing to the courtyard wall that was two feet high.
"Hmm~ There's still this matter, go and move the ladder!" Liu Shilang's heart moved, and soon the two servants went to carry a long ladder and put it on the chicken pen, Liu Shilang lifted his robe and stuffed it around his waist, and then climbed to the top of the chicken pen and looked at the women's college next door.
On the opposite side is a small yard, which should be the back kitchen, while on the ground......
Liu Shilang saw at a glance that there were still some scattered chicken feathers in the yard, which were colorful and somewhat similar to the feathers of his big rooster.
Seeing that someone seemed to come out of the kitchen to watch around, Liu Shilang quickly shrank his head and went down the ladder.
"Be careful, sir!" The housekeeper hurriedly helped Liu Shilang and asked.
"When does the big rooster in the house usually come out of the cage?"
"Before, but in the last two days, my subordinates didn't dare to release it?" A domestic servant hurriedly said.
"Release it now!"
"Yes~" The two servants hurriedly opened the fence of the chicken pen and went in to open a few chicken coop doors.
And just when Liu Shilang was arranging in front of his chicken pen, there was also a steward in the kitchen of the women's college next door with two helpers who came to stand under the courtyard wall and looked up.
One of the helpers said: "Steward Zhang, Lord Liu's chicken next door hasn't appeared for two days, and I'm afraid I'm going to fly again today!" ”
"Lord Liu is really stingy, just a little chicken feathers, forget it, you can keep an eye on the courtyard wall at any time, if you see the rooster come out, immediately sprinkle a few more meters to seduce down, there are a lot of chicken feathers on the market, but only Lord Liu's chicken feathers are of the best quality, and the shuttlecock made is the most beautiful, so many little ladies from noble families, you can't offend any of them......"
"Hehe, don't worry, Manager Zhang, as long as Lord Liu's chicken appears, I will ...... it"
"Shhhh......h
Another helper interrupted the conversation, and sure enough, he heard a fluttering of wings and gurgling next door, as if a large flock of chickens had been released.
"Haha, it's finally here, quickly scatter corn and hide!"
Steward Zhang and the two helpers hurriedly sprinkled a few handfuls of corn in the open space of the courtyard, and then quickly hid behind a pile of firewood and grass.
Sure enough, after a burst of chickens and dogs jumping next door, soon a few big roosters flapped their wings and flew to the courtyard wall, and began to arrange their feathers in the face of the rising sun, and some began to stretch their necks and began to crow, but most of them had bare necks and looked particularly conspicuous.
"Wow Ka Ka, it's finally here after two days of waiting!"
"But most of the hair on the neck has been swept away!"
"I don't know why Master Hou has to use the hair on the rooster's neck, I think the hair on the whole body is almost the same, and the tail hair is more beautiful......"
"I also think that after the that flies down after a while, I will simply pluck the hair ......"
"Don't go too far......"
The three of them hid behind a pile of firewood and grass and discussed in a whisper.
And a group of roosters released from the cage for two days were unable to hold back, and almost all of the big roosters flew to the courtyard wall, lined up and stretched their necks to look around, and then they saw the golden corn scattered all over the ground below, so there was a big rooster with the most beautiful feathers took the lead and flew down and began to peck at it, and clucked while eating and beckoning to its companions.
Soon the remaining big roosters couldn't stand the temptation and flapped their wings and flew down, and suddenly a group of big roosters with colorful and beautiful feathers in the yard competed for peck, most of them were bare-necked.
"Steward Zhang, it's time to do it, I've been preparing for two days, and this time I can have a good time!" A reminder of the helper's excitement.
"Yes, last time I plucked the chicken feathers of Liu Shilang's family, Hou Ye also praised us, this time we must pull more up, Hou Ye may be even happier!" The other whispered excitedly.
"Hey, hey!" Steward Zhang laughed proudly, carefully untied a rope tied to the stake next to him, and then let go of his hand, only to see a rope net falling from the sky, covering all the big roosters in it, and the frightened big roosters all clucked and clucked in the rope net.
"Catch it, do it!"
Steward Zhang flew out with two helpers like a tanuki, grabbed a big rooster and began to pluck his feathers, his movements were extremely skillful, and this time he didn't distinguish between neck hair and tail hair, and he made a lot of effort to pull down.
Liu Shilang naturally heard the sound of his rooster screaming and making noise next door, so he climbed up the wooden ladder again, and then let him see a scene that made him angry.
The helpers of the three academies were happily plucking the feathers of his beloved big, and this time it was not just the neck hair, but all the hairs on his body.
"Old man...... The old man ......" Liu Shilang's eyes were split, and he clenched his fists tightly and trembled.
"Okay, okay, don't pull it out, replace the next one!" Steward Zhang saw that a chicken was about to be pulled into a hairless chicken by a helper, and hurriedly reminded him to change it.
"Good!" The helper raised his hand and threw the mighty rooster in his hand, which was almost shapeless, over the courtyard wall, and then grabbed one out of the rope net again.
How can this be...... Outrageous...... It's too much! ”
Looking at the big rooster with feathers that had been thrown over his head, and the scenery of feathers floating in the sky, Liu Shilang was already so angry that he was almost speechless, trembling and slipping down the wooden ladder step by step, and feeling dizzy after landing.
And looking at the bald chickens that kept throwing them from the opposite yard, the housekeeper and the two domestic servants looked dull.
"Old ...... Master, what should I do? Looking at the big rooster that was clucking all over the ground, the butler felt that his mind went blank.
"Too ...... It's too much, old man...... The old man is going to the court to participate in the women's college, and ......" Liu Shilang was already dizzy, and he trembled and went to the backyard.
"Master, you have to think twice, this women's college was opened by Qinghe Hou." The butler followed behind to remind.
"So what, Qinghehou can't be unreasonable, not to mention that the old man's chicken feathers are definitely not Qinghehou's attention, the old man is just asking him to discipline his subordinates well!" Liu Shilang said angrily.
"But...... But what if it's the Marquis of Qinghe, don't you forget what happened to the Su Mansion Ling family? The loyal butler followed behind the butt and continued to remind.
"Uh~" Liu Shilang stopped and turned his head to look at the housekeeper.
"Master must think twice, it's just a few roosters, if it is really arranged by Qinghe Hou, I'm afraid the consequences will be very serious!" The butler continued to explain bitterly.
"That'...... So that's it? ”
"Master, Qinghe Hou, you can't afford to offend!"
Liu Shilang stood in a daze for a long time, the churning anger slowly subsided, and finally shook his head with a wry smile: "Alas, let's go, you go and change the chicken pen to the east courtyard, and feed a group after the beginning of spring!" ”
"Yes, don't worry, master, I'll do it!" The butler wiped the sweat from his forehead and turned to leave.
