Chapter 221 Si Li resigned from his post and found all the chickens and ducks

Yuyu was extremely anxious, her face flushed red, and she said hurriedly: "There are still some chickens and ducks that we haven't found, Mom, let's go find them!"

After saying that, she couldn't wait to take steps in one direction.

Xiaoyu looked at Yuyu's anxious expression. Although she was also worried, she remained calm and nodded in response, "Okay, let's continue looking."

Li Hao also agreed with a determined look on his face: "Okay, we can't let them get away, let's act quickly."

So, several people quickly launched a "capture battle" in the store.

Yu Yu stared at a hen that was moving back and forth between the table legs. She crouched down, approached it tiptoe, and then suddenly stretched out her hands and pounced on it.

But the hen cleverly dodged, flapped its wings and jumped onto a chair nearby, clucking as if in provocation.

Xiaoyu was dealing with a big rooster on the other side. The rooster held its head high and chest puffed out, with a red comb and looked very aggressive.

Xiaoyu took a small net bag and tried to catch the rooster, but the rooster dodged left and right and pecked at the net bag with its sharp beak from time to time.

Si Li was not idle either. He was agile and saw a duck hiding behind a water tank. He took a step forward and held the duck firmly in his hands.

But the duck struggled desperately, splashing water all over him, but he didn't care and still had a focused expression on his face.

Li Hao found a few chicks in the corner. He carefully gathered them with both hands and slowly lifted them up. A happy smile appeared on his face and he shouted, "I caught them!"

Master Ci Li watched coldly from the side, his arms folded across his chest, a sneer of disdain on his lips.

His eyes wandered among the busy crowd, but he had no intention of stepping forward to help.

The restaurant was in chaos because of the chicken and duck catching. The tables and chairs were knocked all over the place, and the diners all moved aside.

While struggling to control the struggling duck in his hands, Si Li turned his head and shouted to Ci Li, "Ci Li, don't just stand there, come and help!"

Ci Lu just snorted and responded, "I don't have the time for that. It's just a few chickens and ducks. Why make such a fuss?"

After saying that, he simply found a clean stool and sat down, watching everyone busying around leisurely, as if this chaos had nothing to do with him.

Si Li was so angry that his face flushed red. He frowned, struggling to hold onto the flapping chicken in his hand, and shouted at Ci Li, "You, you, you're always like this! When others are in trouble, not only do you not help, you even make sarcastic remarks from the sidelines. You're really too selfish."

Yuyu also took the time to look up, glaring at Ciyu angrily, and echoed, "That's right, everyone is trying their best to help find our chickens and ducks, and you're just standing there watching. How can you be so stupid!"

Ci Xi disagreed, curling his lips and nonchalantly replied, "Humph, I have no such obligation. If you want to go, go ahead. Why bother blaming me? I don't want to go through all this trouble with you."

After saying that, he deliberately turned his head to the side, looking as if it had nothing to do with him, which made everyone very angry. But they couldn't do anything about him for the moment, so they could only continue to concentrate on catching the chickens and ducks that were still running around.

Si Li came to the Yuyu family with a helpless look on his face, sighed slightly, and said softly: "Ci Li is actually like this. He is usually casual and seems to act eccentrically."

"But he's not a bad person at heart. It's just that sometimes his temper and behavior are really hard to accept. I hope you won't blame him too much."

Xiaoyu nodded slightly, and with a look of understanding on her face, she responded, "Master Si Li, we are not unreasonable people either. It's just that we are anxious to find the chickens and ducks right now, and his attitude is bound to make people unhappy."

"But since you have said so, we will not take it too seriously."

Yuyu muttered quietly to the side: "No matter what, it's wrong for him to not help and still make sarcastic remarks."

Li Hao patted Yu Yu's shoulder gently, signaling her not to say anything more.

Si Li looked at their reactions and sighed inwardly, hoping that this chaos would end as soon as possible.

Ci Li sat on a stool nearby, picked up another cup of tea as if no one was around, took a sip, and watched the busy scene in the store, seeming to find it quite interesting.

There was a hint of playfulness in his eyes. He ignored the dissatisfied looks from those around him and continued to sip his tea leisurely.

It was as if all this had nothing to do with him. He was just immersed in his own little world. No matter how noisy the chickens and ducks were and how busy everyone was, he remained unmoved. His leisurely and contented look further highlighted his eccentricity and unsociability.

Yuyu's eyes suddenly lit up, and she pointed to the bottom of a nearby shelf and shouted, "There's one here!"

Upon hearing this, everyone hurriedly looked in the direction she pointed. They saw a hen huddled in the corner of a shelf, looking around vigilantly and clucking from time to time.

Xiaoyu tiptoed over, bent down, and stretched out her hand, trying to slowly approach the hen, muttering softly, "Be good, don't be afraid, we'll take you home right away."

Si Li also followed behind, ready to help at any time in case the hen suddenly escaped.

Li Hao quietly moved aside, blocking another direction the hen might escape. Several people focused their attention, waiting for the right moment to catch this last hen.

Finally, the four people formed a circle tacitly and trapped the hen in the middle.

The hen seemed to have sensed the danger as well. She flapped her wings and clucked more and more urgently. She paced back and forth frantically in the small encirclement, trying to find a way to break out.

Yu Yu bit her lips, her eyes full of nervousness and anticipation. She saw the right moment, pounced forward, and stretched out her hands towards the hen.

Immediately afterwards, Xiaoyu, Sili and Li Hao also took action, and several pairs of hands reached out to the hen almost at the same time.

For a moment, chicken feathers flew everywhere. Surrounded by the crowd, the hen struggled a few times, but ultimately failed to escape and was firmly caught in Xiaoyu's hand.

Yuyu jumped up happily, with a huge smile on his face, and shouted loudly: "I caught it, I caught it! I finally found them all!"

Xiaoyu held the hen with a look of relief on her face. She thanked Si Li and Li Hao repeatedly. Si Li smiled and waved his hand, while Li Hao scratched his head and responded honestly.

Ci Lu, who had been sitting on the side drinking tea, looked at this scene and raised his eyebrows slightly, his expression still showing that half-smile and nonchalant look.

Humph, it's just a stray hen I caught, is there any need to be so happy? Ci Li picked up the teacup and took another sip of tea. This farce was finally coming to an end.
