The Fortunate Demoniac Little Village Doctor
Chapter 105 - 105 104 Red Chicken

105: Chapter 104 Red Chicken 105: Chapter 104 Red Chicken Wu Jin was both scared and hateful towards Liu Hun.

Although his mouth uttered apologetic words, his heart was secretly relieved that it hadn’t been him who was hurt.

His teeth itched with hatred, and he planned to find a way to get back at that skinny runt!

Muttering to himself, he quickly grabbed his dog’s leg and ran away.

After chasing off Wu Jin, Cai Yan and Du Yueling were in high spirits, preparing to try some local mountain delicacies in Taiping Town, so the two leisurely strolled hand in hand.

Meanwhile, Liu Hun didn’t follow them but instead went to settle an account for mushrooms and vegetables at Kehua Yunlai.

Two vibrant flowers bloomed brilliantly, causing passing villagers to occasionally sneak peeks as if they were looking at people who had walked out of a Western painting.

“Smack!” A stall owner by the roadside threw a clump of mud on the ground, then shouted, “What is this?

Do you know?”

“It’s just a clump of yellow mud, isn’t it?

Whose backyard doesn’t have this stuff?

Trying to show off something that common?

I thought it was something rare!”

“Wait, why play with yellow mud for no reason?

Look closely, isn’t there something inside?

I think I saw it.”

“It does seem so!

I smell it now!

The scent of meat!

Stop beating around the bush and just show us what’s inside!”

“…”

Attracted by the clamor, Cai Yan and Du Yueling also came over, very curious to see what was wrapped inside the yellow mud.

The thin man with triangular eyes shouted again, then publicly peeled open the lump of yellow mud thrown on the ground.

With the “pitter-patter” of the mud hitting the ground, an aromatic smell wafted through the air, and a chicken roasted inside the mud immediately revealed itself.

The slim man hung the chicken on his stall table, calling out to everyone, “See this?

What is this?

Know what it’s called?

Beggar’s Chicken!”

“What’s a ‘Beggar’s Chicken’?

Is it something beggars eat?” One onlooker blurted out.

“What do you know?

Look at your face, it’s not even clean!

It’s called that, but beggars really can’t afford it!

It’s just named after the person who invented it, don’t talk nonsense if you don’t know!” The thin man shot a glare at the speaker, then pulled apart the chicken flesh.

As the tender white meat split, the thin man sprinkled spices inside, and the aroma immediately pervaded, drilling intensely into everyone’s nostrils, making their mouths water.

“Don’t miss out if you’re passing by!

This is the first place in Taiping Town to offer it!

Miss this village, and you’ll miss this shop!” The thin man banged on a brass basin as he hollered.

Smelling the aroma, the surrounding people almost wanted to reach out their hands from their throats, but everyone understood that once their hand stretched out, someone else’s hand would dive into their wallets.

“How much?” Finally, someone asked the most crucial question.

“This one!

Two hundred yuan!

Pay up, and you can sit right here and eat!” The thin man replied to the crowd.

“You’re kidding, right?

Two hundred yuan, even a chicken that lays golden eggs would have been roasted by you, right?

Who would pay that much for this?”

At this, those who were tempted to try the delicacy recoiled.

Two hundred yuan could buy many chickens, and considering the villagers, who seriously eked out a living, wouldn’t squander money even during the New Year celebrations.

And they were sure no fool would pay that price.

However!

Immediately, someone proved them wrong!

Yes, there indeed were such people!

“I want to try it!” said Cai Yan as she stepped out of the crowd, really intending to try this delicacy today.

The moment Cai Yan emerged, the surrounding people’s attention shifted from scent to sight, especially the men around her, who couldn’t help but glue their eyes to her.

“Who is she?

Whose daughter or daughter-in-law is this?

Why does she look as beautiful as the flowers in my yard, and what are those clothes?

They look so nice!”

“Right?

Just look at her face, the more you look, the more comfortable it feels, not at all like the muddy smell of our local women!”

“A bunch of fools using teapots as chamber pots, that’s a floral dress!

Ever been to the county city?

The girls there wear this!”

“…”

As Cai Yan walked out, the murmurs continued, and someone who had been to the county city started showing off their paltry knowledge.

The thin man with triangular eyes circled around Cai Yan thrice before giggling and saying, “You sit here!

I’ll serve you the dish once it’s ready.”

After more than twenty minutes, Du Yueling and Cai Yan slowly finished half a beggar’s chicken, which was indeed the flavor she had been craving.

After wiping her hands clean, she placed two hundred yuan on the table.

As they stood up and took a few steps away, they were immediately called back by someone behind them.

“Is there something else?” Cai Yan asked the thin man, somewhat puzzled.

“Is this money not right?” asked the thin man, fanning the two hundred yuan in his hand.

“Not right?

What’s wrong with it?” Cai Yan asked in confusion.

The thin man raised his head and prepared a shifty stance before blurting out, “You’re short!”

“Short?

Wasn’t it two hundred yuan, as you said?” Cai Yan was already feeling that something was amiss.

She truly wasn’t short of money, but she didn’t want to be bamboozled like this.

Dragging out his words, the man pointed at his stall and said, “I said two hundred yuan for the one on my table, but the one you ate costs five thousand!”

“I remember you clearly saying it was two hundred!” Du Yueling felt very strange and vaguely sensed that this man was up to no good.

“What?

Five thousand?

What kind of chicken is that expensive?

Isn’t this obviously a scam?” Cai Yan immediately flared up, not expecting such ongoing trouble one after the other.

The thin man stared at Cai Yan, and six words popped out of his mouth, “A rooster that can lay eggs!”

“Ha!

Let me tell you straight!

I’m a biology student!

A rooster that lays eggs?

You’re just being unreasonable!

I won’t give you a penny!” Cai Yan crossed her arms, determined to stand her ground today.

Seeing that Cai Yan was actually defying him, the thin man glanced at her and said, “Not giving?

See if you can leave today.

Go on, take a few steps!

Walk!”

Cai Yan truly didn’t believe this superstition and was about to turn around and leave with Du Yueling when suddenly, a short and plump woman fiercely pushed her back.

“Where do you think you’re going?

You ate and thought you could just leave without paying?

What do you think this place is?

Your own kitchen?” The short and plump woman spit flying, glared at Cai Yan.

A woman looking at another woman is uncomfortable, but an ugly woman staring at a beautiful woman is even more so.

After pushing Cai Yan, she yelled, “With your sly fox-like appearance, half of your butt is showing, a seducer!

Let me put it straight today, either pay five thousand or don’t think about leaving!”

Du Yueling and Cai Yan were suddenly panicked.

Originally thinking this place had simple customs, they kept running into infuriating situations.

Looking closely, the short and plump woman was obviously backed by several burly men.

Suddenly!

Cai Yan noticed two men behind the plump woman and took a close look.

Weren’t they the same two burly men who had been with Wu Jin earlier?

She suddenly understood.

It wasn’t the local customs but these people who were targeting her.

Some villagers who couldn’t stand watching anymore, one with more courage, couldn’t help but speak up, “What lay-eggs rooster?

Why don’t they say it can fly to the sky?

Isn’t this clearly cheating others?”

Before the thin man could speak, Wu Jin jumped out from the crowd like he was possessed and pointing at the people around shouted, “Who?!

Which slumdog is babbling here with Jin?

Someone said this chicken costs five thousand, so it does!

Who disagrees?

Speak up and let Jin hear, stuffing the garlic in a dog’s nose, a bunch of weaklings acting tough for me.”

The villagers enjoyed crowding around for excitement, chatting when there’s nothing, and picking up a bargain.

But when it came to standing up for a stranger against some ruffians, truly no one was up for that.

Seeing the people around wisely shut their mouths, Wu Jin immediately felt as if he’d shot up to be the County Party Secretary, his farts even carried an air of “serving the people.”

“Shameless!

Scoundrel!

Move aside!” Cai Yan said, trying to turn around and leave, but no matter which direction, she faced the brawny men blocking her path, neither pushable nor beatable, leaving her in despair.

“Didn’t you hear me tell you to move?

Can’t you understand human speech?”

Suddenly, a voice rose from behind the brawny man, who sarcastically turned his head and said, “Say it one more time, I’ll let you know who’s your real dad!”

“Liu Hun!” Du Yueling hadn’t expected Liu Hun to show up after all, and his confrontation helped calm her immediately.

Liu Hun swung a punch at the brawny man’s neck, the fierce blow causing the man to collapse like a stick of kindling, clutching his neck and continuing to twitch.

“Now do you know who your real dad is?” After saying that, Liu Hun stepped on the man’s face as he approached Cai Yan and asked, “How about it?

Tasted what the mountain is like?”

“Hmph!” Cai Yan huffed coldly.

While initially somewhat grateful for Liu Hun’s arrival, his question rubbed her the wrong way, leaving her coldly responding, “I tasted it, poor mountains and evil waters full of scoundrels!”

Just as Liu Hun was about to argue back, he inadvertently noticed Li Si’er and the cowering Wu Jin.

It turned out Wu Jin had brought Li Si’er here for some monkey show to cheat people.

The words he was about to say changed to, “The mountains are good, the waters are good, but the people…

well, there really are a few bad ones!”
