Chapter 709
But Cao Yi's sticks were swung down, and Yang Song's small body couldn't bear it, so he cried and screamed.
When the old woman heard her son's screams, her heart ached and she shouted desperately.
"My lord, stop fighting...take all the chickens away! We don't want them anymore...please let my son go!"
"I'll catch it for you myself..."
The old woman rushed to the chicken coop and hurriedly caught the chickens.
When Xiao Lintian saw this, he signaled Cao Yi to stop.
He turned around and said to those watching the fun: "Fellow folks, I know that it is not easy for you to raise chickens and ducks, but these chickens and ducks are infected with germs that you cannot see. If you don't kill them, you will live with them sooner or later."
Everyone will be infected with the plague!"
"Compared with life, you should know clearly what is more important than life!"
"If you are worried that my army will take these chickens and ducks to eat, you can follow me to the entrance of the village to see if I have embezzled them!"
Shocked by Xiao Lintian's move, the villagers no longer dared to resist and watched helplessly as Cao Yi and a group of guards loaded all the chickens, ducks and pigs at home onto a carriage and pulled them to the entrance of the village.
Some villagers were worried and followed him from a distance.
Only when they saw Xiao Lintian's guards throwing the chickens and ducks into a dug pit and setting them on fire did the villagers realize that Xiao Lintian was telling the truth.
Although the meat was so fragrant that it made people salivate, the villagers did not dare to eat the poultry because they thought they would get sick after eating it.
Yang Song also followed, dragging his beaten body, but he didn't think like those villagers.
He just thought that Xiao Lintian must have seen that the matter was exposed and was afraid that he would sue him, so he did this deliberately to cover up others' eyes!
"Just wait for me, I will definitely file a complaint!"
When Yang Song saw that all the poultry were burned, he went home angrily.
As soon as his mother saw him, she pulled him into the house, speaking mysteriously.
"Song'er, Mom also has a chicken stewed in the pot. Mom will bring it to you later to replenish your health!"
Yang Song didn't ask his mother why he killed chickens during the Chinese New Year or the holidays. He nodded, went back to the house, touched his sore buttocks and crawled on the bed to figure out how to sue Xiao Lintian.
After dinner, Mother Yang brought over a very small chicken, and the mother and son ate half of it.
Yang Song's four-year-old daughter was hiding at the door. When she saw the two eating chicken, she was so greedy that her mouth watered.
But Yang’s mother favored boys over girls and kept calling her a loser. How could she be willing to feed her!
Even if Yang Song caught a glimpse of his daughter's little figure hiding at the door, he wouldn't hesitate to give her some chicken soup.
When the little girl saw that both of them had finished eating, she had to quietly hide back in the house to avoid being seen and beaten by her grandmother.
She bit into the cold steamed buns and tears fell down. She missed her mother so much...
If her mother were here, she would definitely cook porridge for her. Although it didn’t taste fishy, the sweet potato porridge her mother cooked was fragrant and sweet. It was the most delicious thing she had ever eaten in her life!
Xiao Lintian's culling work at the head of the village went smoothly except for the thorny problem of Yang Song.
But things didn't go so smoothly on the west side of the village.
Yang Dahu, who sprained his foot and had been avoiding Xiao Lintian, heard that Xiao Lintian was going to kill poultry, so he led his people to block the area between the west and the head of the village.
When Xiao Lintian arrived, he saw that Yang Dahu and his men had erected a barrier in the middle.
The chubby Yang Dahu stood on the other side of the fence with a big belly. When he saw Xiao Lintian coming, he said with a smile.
"Prince Yi, I have followed your arrangements and checked all the residents here. No one here has contracted the plague!"
"Prince Yi, all our poultry have been inspected, and none of them are infected with the plague! Why don't you, Prince, lead people to kill them!"
