Chapter 159 The Great Battle of Zhengzheng
Yan Feng and the others followed to the backyard, where they saw Gu Zheng standing in the chicken coop with a wooden stick, gesturing and jumping around.
The chickens flitted about at his feet, clucking incessantly, as if deliberately provoking him.
Zhao Yang didn't recognize Gu Zheng. After scrutinizing him for a moment, he whispered in Yan Feng's ear, "Boss, is this Second Senior Brother Xiao Xi?"
That suspicious look said it all.
Yan Feng recalled Gu Zheng's behavior when they first met, and tapped his head with his finger. Zhao Yang immediately understood, his eyes showing a hint of sympathy. No wonder he seemed a little off.
Wu Zheng made no attempt to hide his disdain, looking at Gu Zheng as if he were a fool.
Lin Xi jumped into the chicken coop and chased away the chicks that were baring their teeth and claws. Gu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Junior Sister, your grandma asked me to catch chickens."
Her voice sounded slightly aggrieved.
Lin Xi glanced at his white shoes covered in chicken droppings and remembered his severe mysophobia. "You've really suffered. Go outside, I'll catch it."
Gu Zheng threw down the stick and turned to leave. When he looked up, he saw several men staring at him, including Wu Zheng, whom he hated the most. He paused, turned around smoothly, picked up the stick, and said with great enthusiasm, "Junior Sister! I'll do it!"
Lin Xi looked at him in confusion, wondering what was wrong with him now.
Gu Zheng shoved Lin Xi out, glared fiercely at Wu Zheng, and then charged into the flock of chickens like a warrior, yelling, "Come on! Come out here!"
The chicks showed no mercy to him, flapping their wings and rushing over. Gu Zheng waved his stick vigorously to shoo them away while stomping his feet to avoid being pecked by the chicks.
The chicks, as if possessed, became even more aggressive when they saw him cowering. They stretched their necks and chased after his feet, pecking at them. One of them even caught his stick in its mouth.
Gu Zheng gripped the only weapon in his hand with all his might, and the chicken took the opportunity to fly over and peck at the back of his hand.
Gu Zheng was startled, and the small wooden stick fell to the ground. Without his weapon, he dodged left and right, running all over the yard, shouting in his mind, "Get out of here! Get out of here! Damn little chick!"
The whole courtyard was a scene of chaos, with chickens flying everywhere and people jumping around, and chicken feathers flying all over the place.
Lin Xi sighed and rubbed her forehead. "Second Senior Brother, let me do it."
Gu Zheng was clearly terrified, but he stubbornly insisted, "No need!"
Zhao Yang and Yan Feng were both stunned; they had never had this much trouble catching bandits.
Wu Zheng couldn't bear to watch any longer, so he jumped into the chicken coop and pulled Gu Zheng behind him.
With a casual sweep of his right leg, the chicks scattered, shrinking their necks and hiding back in their nests.
A wise man knows when to yield; this person doesn't look like someone to be trifled with.
Gu Zheng was furious! How dare these damn chickens bully him! Why did Wu Zheng run away as soon as he arrived!
He was so angry that he shoved Wu Zheng aside and charged into the flock of chickens. He had to get revenge!
Wu Zheng pulled him back, "Alright, alright, so what if you're afraid of chickens? Why are you showing off? You wouldn't believe it if I told you, but you can't even beat a chicken!"
Gu Zheng immediately bristled like a cat, "I'm afraid of chickens? You're kidding! How could I be afraid of chickens! I was just playing with them, how could I lose? If you hadn't come in, we would have caught them already, who told you to meddle!..."
Gu Zheng rattled off a string of words like a machine gun, but Wu Zheng ignored him, walked over to the chicken coop, and casually grabbed a chick.
Coincidentally, it was the very same one that had pecked Gu Zheng's hand.
He deliberately waved the chicken in front of Gu Zheng, a smug smile playing on his lips, and said triumphantly, "I won this round."
Gu Zheng gritted his teeth and said, "You just wait!"
Zhao Yang was completely confused. "Boss, Wu Zheng and Senior Brother Xiao Xi have known each other for a long time?"
"It wasn't very early, we met on the same day."
Lin Guiying came to the backyard carrying a kitchen knife. "Why is it taking so long to catch a chicken? The water's already boiling."
Wu Zheng took the kitchen knife and said, "Auntie, let me help you kill it."
Gu Zheng snatched it away, "I'll do it!"
He recognized the dead chicken; it was the one that had just pecked his hand.
But he held the cleaver and brandished it for a long time without actually doing anything. Finally, he frowned and asked, "How do I kill him?"
Zhao Yang chuckled, but quickly shut his mouth when he saw Gu Zheng glaring at him.
Wu Zheng said helplessly, "Just cut his neck."
Gu Zheng's eyes were fierce. With a single stroke, he slashed off a few hairs.
The chicks were lively and energetic, without even a scratch.
Wu Zheng's lips twitched. "You're incredibly stupid!"
Having said that, she grabbed his hand and made a sharp cut; the chick was gone.
Gu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, looking slightly pleased. Then, as if just realizing what had happened, he shouted at Wu Zheng, "Did I need your help?! Why are you everywhere?!"
Wu Zheng had been holding back for a long time, and finally exploded, "Don't be ungrateful! If it weren't for me, you'd still be trapped in the chicken coop, being bullied by the chickens and running all over the yard!"
"Wu Zheng! Can't you understand human language?! I told you, I was just playing with them!"
"Haha, that's hilarious! I've never seen anything like this before. Playing with chickens is no skill at all. Why don't you play with our police dogs?"
"Are you trying to teach me how to do things? I can play with whomever I want, and do whatever I want. You're just ignorant because you haven't seen it before!"
"Gu Zheng, I've never seen anyone as stubborn as you! You've mastered the art of sophistry!"
……
Lin Xi and the others covered their ears and went back into the house. Even Lin Guiying took the chicken and ran to the other side of the yard to bleed it.
During the meal, Gu Zheng and Wu Zheng continued to harass each other and everyone else.
Lin Guiying looked at the food on the plate that the two had pecked at and destroyed, suppressed her anger, and set up a separate table for the two of them.
Finally, at the luxurious dining table, Lin Xi, Yan Feng, and the others ate their meal in a harmonious and cheerful atmosphere, chatting and laughing.
In front of the kitchen stove, Gu Zheng and Wu Zheng were arguing and fighting with chopsticks.
After dinner, Yan Feng dragged away the cursing Wu Zheng, while Gu Zheng grumbled and told Lin Xi to spend less time with Wu Zheng in the future.
Lin Xi readily agreed, behaving very obediently, and finally managed to send her second senior brother away.
Lin Guiying rubbed her temples. "Oh my god, it's finally quiet. This Xiao Zheng, before, when he argued with you, there was always a beginning and an end. But now that he's set his sights on Xiao Wu, the arguments never end. If he hadn't been pulled away, they would have been arguing forever."
"Your second senior brother is unreasonable, and so is Xiao Wu, his mouth is like it's been poisoned, he won't give an inch."
Tsk, I think those two will have a hard time finding wives in the future. No one can stand those two mouths..."
Lin Guiying kept nagging, and Lin Xi felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't figure it out.
Lin Xi wasn't the only one who couldn't understand it; Yan Feng and Zhao Yang were too.
Yan Feng patted Wu Zheng on the shoulder and said, "Tell me, what grudge do you have that you're so angry about?"
Zhao Yang chimed in, "Exactly! He's got a screw loose, can't you just give way?"
Wu Zheng frowned. "Who said he has a problem with his brain? You're the one with a problem with your brain!"
Zhao Yang was stunned for a moment, then said angrily, "You're the one with the most problems in your head!"
……
The next day, Yan Feng threw his car keys on the table and said, "Some leaders are coming to inspect later, and I can't leave. Who will pick up Xiaoxi?"
Zhao Yang was inexplicably scolded yesterday and was furious. He said sarcastically, "Of course I went. I'm not good with my brain, so I don't want to offend the boss. It's a good opportunity to hide away."
