Chapter 739: Rooster and Duck
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Qing Mu craned his neck and opened his mouth, quacking.
However, he was actually saying, “Sister Anya, where are you?”
Bai Anya was next door. When she heard Qing Mu’s quacks, she clucked weakly.
However, what Bai Anya said was, “I’m next door.”
Qing Mu looked in the direction of the voice and saw a rooster.
When Qing Mu and Bai Anya woke up, they realized that they had become a duck and a rooster.
Bai Anya looked at Qing Mu. “You’re a duck, right?”
Qing Mu wanted to cry, but no tears came out. “Sister Anya, don’t make fun of me.”
Bai Anya said seriously, “I wonder what Miss Liu and the others have become. If they’re also poultries, we can probably be able to understand each other.”
Qing Mu looked at the chickens and ducks pecking at the leaves beside him. “They’re definitely not with us. We are not in a good situation. What if we’re captured and killed by the owner?”
Bai Anya looked around. “If you don’t lay the eggs, it’ll probably be dangerous. I’m the only rooster. I most likely won’t be killed.”
Qing Mu said seriously, “What should we do now? Can we only wait like this?”
Bai Anya thought for a moment and said, “Let’s wait for a few days. After all, if we escape and get caught, we’ll definitely die.”
Qing Mu thought for a moment and felt that what Bai Anya said made sense. “Then let’s wait and see. Let’s figure out the situation first.”
Bai Anya glanced at the dejected duck. “Don’t scare yourself too much. In this poor place, people only eat meat when there is a festival. We are safe for the time being.”
Bai Anya flapped her wings and flew high. She looked around and knew that this was a village in the mountains.
Qing Mu was relieved to hear that. “I’m just afraid. 1 feel like there’s nothing I can do now. I’m trapped here and can’t resist. If 1 die, I don’t know if 1’11 really die.”
Bai Anya flew to Qing Mu’s side and comforted him. “Don’t think too much. We’ll be fine.”
The sky gradually darkened, and the chickens in the hen coop began to close their eyes and sleep.
The ducks in the duck coop also lay down quietly.
Bai Anya and Qing Mu were not poultry after all and were not sleepy.
After two days of peace, Qing Mu and Bai Anya knew that the daughter-in-law of this family had just given birth and was doing her postpartum confinement. Other than that, everything was very normal. The only thing they could do was wait. The two of them took turns keeping watch at night.
The night was already very dark, and the village fell into a deep sleep.
When a cold wind blew over, the sleeping poultry seemed to have sensed something. They opened their eyes and cried out uneasily.
Qing Mu and Bai Anya could clearly see that something had entered this house just now.
“Sister Anya, something came in just now.”
Qing Mu was a little anxious. He wanted to go out and take a look, but he couldn’t.
Bai Anya’s heart was also heavy. “Don’t be anxious. Let’s wait and see first.”
Soon, they heard the sound of a baby crying.
“Ahhh—”
The baby’s cry was especially ear-piercing on this quiet night.
The poultry in the coop was very uneasy and cried out restlessly.
Old Madam Luo came out of the house and shouted impatiently, “Why are you shouting? I’ll kill you tomorrow if you don’t stay quiet.”
The familiar voice of the owner gradually calmed the poultry down.
Bai Anya and Qing Mu also heard a woman coaxing the child.
That was Madam Yan, the daughter-in-law of Old Madam Luo. She had just given birth to a son and was not in good health. When her son cried, she could only lift her clothes to breastfeed her son. However, the baby, who was crying non-stop, refused to eat.
Everyone in the house was woken up.
“What’s going on? Why is he crying so much?”
Old Madam Luo came back after shouting at the frightened poultry. She picked up the child and coaxed, “My good grandson, sleep well. Don’t cry.”
Madam Yan had just given birth and was still weak, so Old Madam Luo shared a room with her to take care of her. Seeing that Madam Yan was struggling to get up, she asked Madam Yan to lie down while she hugged the child and coaxed him, but she could not stop him from crying.
Madam Yan was also anxious. “Mother, let me try feeding him again.”
Old Madam Luo could only put her grandson back into Madam Yan’s arms, but the baby wouldn’t eat.
Madam Yan panicked. “Mother, why does he refuse to eat?”
The child’s cries woke up the family. The father and son, who were sleeping in the same room, got up.
The old man was smoking cigarettes outside while the young man entered the room. “Mother, what happened to the child?”
Madam Yan’s body was weak, and she anxiously tried to breastfeed her child.
Old Madam Luo frowned. “I’ll go and pray.”
Old Madam Luo went out and prayed to the heavens. “Heavens, bless my grandson and let him stop crying.”
When Old Madam Luo returned to the room, Madam Yan smiled. “Mother, he’s eating now…”
Old Madam Luo went forward to take a look. Seeing that her grandson was eating while sobbing, Madam Luo heaved a sigh of relief.
But soon, they heard the dog barking.
The sound of children crying could also be heard. On such a quiet night, the cries of children made people panic, and the peace of the night was broken..
