âLetâs go! Time to go catch chickens!!!â Little Zheng Bin exclaimedjoyfully 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 wasnât going to carry theherbs and firewood with them to the cave. She found a remote location to stash themaway before taking her two brothers into the valley.
âBig sister didnât catch enough chickens yesterday. Big brother, letâscatch three chickens today!â
âThree is not that many. For dadâs health, the more the better.Zheng Bin, letâs catch a few more!â
âI know the more the better, but will we be able to? I donât thinkthe chickens will be stupid enough to just stand there and wait for us!â
âWe just have to try as hard as we could! I wonder how many chickensare in the cage?!â
âI say, at least a clutch!â
âProbably over 10. If we canât get them all today, we will comeback tomorrow!â
âYeah! We will come everyday till we get the last of them!â1
âŠâŠâŠ
Upon hearing her brotherâs conversation, the corner of Cheng XiaoXiaoâs mouth twitched involuntarily. It looked like sheâd have to release allthe chickens and rabbits from the dimension to make her brothersâ wishes come true.
She couldnât possibly let them down, right?
The three of them quickly arrived at the cave that Cheng Xiao Xiaofound yesterday. They could hear small chicks clucking. The two young ones werebeyond excited, Zheng Bin shouted, âBig sister! There really are chickens here!I can here clucking of young chicks!â
Nonsense. She just put a few chicks inside yesterday, of coursethere were clucking.
âYeah! Letâs hurry inside!â
The two young ones dashed inside the cave, leaving their bigsister behind!
Cheng Xiao Xiao couldnât help but laughed looking at how eager herbrothers were. She carefully let out a chickens from the dimension as shefollowed behind them.\nâEh? How come there are only young chicks but no adult chickens?â AskedZheng Bin in his crisp, childish voice.
Cheng Xiao Xiao, who was now quite a few steps behind them,frowned slightly. Then she looked to the right side and saw a split in the path.Without hesitation, she tossed a few chickens to the other side.
Bok bok bokâŠâŠ
The loud clucking echoed inside the cave. Cheng Xiao Xiao pointedat the other path and smiled at her two now disappointed brothers, âLook, theyare right here. You guys found the chicks, the adult ones are here.â
She didnât need to say any more, the brothers had already heardthe chicken. The two kids dashed over and saw four to five chickens flappingheir wings. Ecstatic, dashing straight at the chickens, Zheng Bin shouted, âThisis awesome! Big brother, quick! Help me catch them!â
âBe careful, Zheng Bin, donât let the chickens get out of the cave!â
âBig brother, you block the left side, quick!â
Cheng Xiao Xiao looked at her brothers running back and forthafter the chickens. She had no intention to go help them. She took the opportunitywhile they were distracted and walked over to the other side of the cave. Quickly,she took out three medium-sized chickens and a few rabbits and placed themsomewhere obscure.
She didnât forget to also take out a few white radish sprouts. Thesewould be proofs in the future.
Half an hour later, the brothers, who were now pouring withsweats, barely got two chickens. The rest all flew and stayed half way up thecliff, leaving them no means to get to them.
Even though they didnât catch as many as they had wanted, but theywere excited all over again when they saw the two rabbits that Cheng Xiao Xiaohad in her hands.
Not a bad day for what they have got, and time was getting late.The three of them carried the firewood, herbs, chickens, and rabbits andreturned home.\n***

<!--[if !supportLists]-->1.    <!--[endif]-->They do know that if they catch them allâŠthere will be no more chickensâŠ. Should they leave a few there to breed? >.<Is it just me because their short-sightedness really irked me. J
