Siheyuan: The road to counterattack for the little transparent

After nightfall, the temperature dropped a little bit. People who were sitting in the yard to enjoy the cool air couldn't resist the sleepiness and went back to their houses to sleep.

After all, Lin Donglai is a modern man who is used to using air conditioning in the summer. When he is too hot to sleep in bed at night, he will stay in the space.

Most of his exercise was spent on cultivating and harvesting the black soil. Fortunately, it was spring-like all year round in this space, so it was not as hot as outside when working.

This is his favorite place, but of course there are some drawbacks. When it comes time to harvest the crops, there is no one-click harvesting function and everything has to be done manually.

It's okay to take a short nap in the space, but if you sleep for a long time, you will feel colder and colder, and even covering yourself with a quilt can't keep out the cold. But the strange thing is that you won't feel cold no matter how long you work in it.

There was another point that made Lin Donglai very helpless. After he packed up the wild rabbits, pheasants and so on, he wanted to cook them in the space and then take them out to eat.

But after going deeper many times, I found that the space might be limited and I couldn't light a fire no matter what I did, so I had to give up this idea.

After returning to the house tonight, the sister fell asleep quickly, but Lin Donglai was still too hot to sleep, so he simply went into the space to dig potatoes.

After all the potatoes were harvested, he was tired. He left the space in a flash, lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

At this time, everyone fell asleep. The courtyard was dark and surprisingly quiet without any human voice.

Lin Donglai's worries were not unnecessary. Sure enough, not long after, the big rooster in Xu Damao's house started crowing again.

“Oh, oh…”

“Oh, oh…”

The crowing sounds were getting louder and louder, with no sign of stopping, and were particularly harsh in the quiet night.

Soon, many people in the yard were woken up. Some people with bad tempers even leaned their heads out of the windows and cursed: "Whose sick chicken is this? Why is it barking in the middle of the night?"

The lights in the courtyard were turned on at the same time. Many people walked into the courtyard with sleepy eyes and gathered together to complain:

"This chicken belongs to Xu Damao, right? Why doesn't he take care of it? It's the middle of the night and he's letting people sleep. He has to go to work tomorrow."

"That's right, I just fell asleep for a short while and was woken up. How annoying!"

"If you ask me, you should just kill this chicken. It keeps crowing when it shouldn't. What's the point of keeping it?"

"I don't know what Xu Damao and his wife are thinking. I can understand you want to keep the hens for laying eggs, but raising a rooster is just a hassle."

The big rooster was still crowing loudly without knowing whether to live or die, but Xu Damao's house was dark and there was no sign of it being woken up.

Actually, it's not that there's no one at Xu Damao's house, but he thought about what would happen if Sha Zhu couldn't give birth to a child, so the couple tossed and turned for a long time before they fell into a deep sleep. At this time, he couldn't open his eyelids at all, and of course a rooster couldn't wake him up.

Lin Donglai was sleeping soundly when he was awakened by the crowing of a rooster. Not long after, his sister was also awakened. She rubbed her eyes and asked, "Brother, is it dawn yet?"

As he said that, he got up and looked out the window. It was pitch black. He couldn't help but complain, "It's still dark, and the rooster keeps crowing. I thought it was daybreak. I'm so sleepy."

Lin Donglai was also very sleepy and very angry. He dragged his heavy body to the yard and listened. The sound came from the backyard. It was obviously the rooster raised by Xu Damao.

After comforting his sister to lie down and sleep, he turned around and walked out of the house towards the backyard.

Many neighbors who were also woken up by the crowing noise had gathered in the middle yard. They all faced the direction of the backyard and kept complaining.

No one knocked on Xu Damao's door to ask him to deal with the chickens, and of course no one thought of any good solution, they just complained.

It is said that people who lack sleep have bad tempers. Lin Donglai is such a person. He glanced at the group of people and walked towards the backyard without saying a word.

"Donglai, where are you going?" Sha Zhu was also woken up. He walked into the yard with sleepy eyes and saw Lin Donglai walking towards the backyard angrily. He stepped forward and stopped him for one meter.

Lin Donglai was furious and said angrily: "We can't let this rooster talk again tonight. A rooster is only a few dollars. I can afford it."

"Okay, I'll go with you, and we'll go talk to Xu Damao together."

Someone stepped forward, and the group of people who were complaining finally stopped and looked at Lin Donglai and Sha Zhu with anticipation as they walked towards the backyard.

When I arrived at the backyard, there was no one there, but the lights in Second Uncle Liu Haizhong's house were on. I guess he was like the others, afraid of being hated by Xu Damao and didn't dare to step forward.

Before Lin Donglai came forward, Sha Zhu walked to Xu Damao's door and kicked the chicken coop. Unexpectedly, the big rooster crowed even louder.

Sha Zhu was so angry that he started banging on the door. After a long while, Xu Damao's mumbling voice was heard from inside the room: "Who is it? Stop making noise."

After saying that, he seemed to fall asleep again, and the room was silent.

"Hey! It's true. You can still sleep like this? You must be born in the Year of the Pig." After saying that, Sha Zhu continued to bang on the door.

After a while, the lights finally came on. After a burst of rustling sounds in the room, Lou Xiao'e lazily opened the door.

Seeing the two standing at the door one after the other, he was surprised and asked, "Are you two okay?"

"Lou Xiao'e, did you two hear your rooster crowing? The whole courtyard was woken up, but you two were sleeping soundly."

"Do you guys take care of this chicken? Don't blame me if anything happens."

As soon as Sha Zhu opened his mouth, it was like a string of cannonballs, which made Lou Xiao'e frown. She gave him a disgusted look and said nothing.

Lin Donglai quickly stepped forward and said, "Sister Xiao'e, this rooster really woke everyone up. I think it's difficult for you to deal with it in the middle of the night. Why don't you sell the chicken to me?"

After hearing what he said, Lou Xiao'e's expression looked better. She asked him to wait a moment and went back to the house and called Xu Damao several times, but failed to wake him up.

He had no choice but to walk to the door again and said with an apologetic smile: "I'm sorry, Donglai, Damao wants to keep this rooster, and I can't make the decision."

"How about this, I'll talk to him about this when he wakes up tomorrow morning." After saying that, he closed the door.

Seeing that being soft-hearted was no use, Sha Zhu got angry and went forward to kick the door, but was stopped by Lin Donglai. He then went forward to kick the chicken, but was stopped again.

Lin Donglai thought about it and said a few words in Sha Zhu's ear, and then he started laughing.

Sha Zhu went back to the central courtyard in the dark, fiddled with it for a while, and then happily walked to the backyard.

At this time, Lin Donglai grabbed the chicken's feet and wings and lifted it up. Sha Zhu had sharpened a small wooden stick about two or three centimeters long and stuffed it vertically into the chicken's mouth.

After being put back into the chicken coop, the chicken shook its head vigorously, but the stick could not be shaken off, and it could no longer make a sound.

When the two returned to the middle courtyard, Lin Donglai smiled and said to the onlookers: "Tonight, Sha Zhu and I have eliminated harm for the people. Everyone remember to keep it a secret and go back to your rooms to sleep."

Hearing this, everyone understood and smiled, and gave the two of them a thumbs up as they walked home.

In the second half of the night, I finally managed to sleep until dawn...
