ch 6.1 - Small Harves (1/2)

“Let’s go! Time to go catch chickens!!!” Little Zheng Bin exclaimed joyfully and started heading toward the valley all by himself.

Even the older Zheng Yuan had a big smile on him!

To lighten the load, Cheng Xiao Xiao wasn’t going to carry the herbs and firewood with them to the cave. She found a remote location to stash them away before taking her two brothers into the valley.

“Big sister didn’t catch enough chickens yesterday. Big brother, let’s catch three chickens today!”

“Three is not that many. For dad’s health, the more the better. Zheng Bin, let’s catch a few more!”

“I know the more the better, but will we be able to? I don’t think the chickens will be stupid enough to just stand there and wait for us!”

“We just have to try as hard as we could! I wonder how many chickens are in the cage?!”

“I say, at least a clutch!”

“Probably over 10. If we can’t get them all today, we will come back tomorrow!”

“Yeah! We will come everyday till we get the last of them!”1

………

Upon hearing her brother’s conversation, the corner of Cheng Xiao Xiao’s mouth twitched involuntarily. It looked like she’d have to release all the chickens and rabbits from the dimension to make her brothers’ wishes come true.

She couldn’t possibly let them down, right?

The three of them quickly arrived at the cave that Cheng Xiao Xiao found yesterday. They could hear small chicks clucking. The two young ones were beyond excited, Zheng Bin shouted, “Big sister! There really are chickens here! I can here clucking of young chicks!”

Nonsense. She just put a few chicks inside yesterday, of course there were clucking.
