Back at Big Fish Fishing Gear Store, everything was as usual.
But the first thing I did was check the refrigerator and found that all four yellow chickens were still there.
Seeing how nervous I was, Master said,
"They're all still here. I know you made them a promise, so I didn't touch them."
I smiled.
"Master, it's still early. I'll head out for a bit and see them off by the river."
"Alright! Bring more grains when you see off the chickens, and light a stick of incense."
Master reminded me.
Of course I knew that. It wasn't like I was some newcomer who had just entered the trade.
"I know, Master. I'm taking the car keys."
"Go on, and come back early!"
"..."
After that, I took the four Big Yellow Roosters that had died in my place out of the store.
Under a tree by the river, I dug a large pit and neatly placed the four Big Yellow Roosters inside.
After burying them, burning incense, and scattering grains, I bowed devoutly before the chickens' grave.
"Four chicken brothers, thank you for dying in my place. I hope you can be reborn in a better life. Thank you."
After saying that, I bowed again and planted a stick of incense in the ground.
Only after finishing all that did I leave the riverbank. When I returned to the store, I found that Uncle Yu had arrived.
He was arguing with Master in the kitchen at the back.
"Song, De Cai, do you even know how to buy fish?
I told you to get a grass carp around three pounds. Why the hell did you buy a bighead carp that weighs over ten pounds?"
"What's wrong with that? Can't we eat it over a few meals?
