Tuantuan, Yuanyuan, and the other kids crept closer, hiding behind trees. They saw Su Jinlai, looking so pleased with himself that he was practically dancing.
The chicken wasn't fully cooked yet, but Su Jinlai took an egg out of his pocket. The hen had laid an egg just before he killed it. He cracked it against a rock and swallowed the raw egg in one gulp, exclaiming, "Delicious!"
After eating the egg, he lay down on the ground, waiting for the chicken to cook. Staring up at the sky, he muttered, "If only every day could be like this."
Then he chuckled to himself: "There's still one more hen at home. I'll eat that one tomorrow and blame it on the kids again. Hehe!"
He thought he was being incredibly clever, faster on his feet than anyone else. He laughed, feeling quite proud of himself.
