The moment he stepped outside, the chickens' cries became even clearer. Their frantic clucking came from the coop, accompanied by the unmistakable sound of wings beating against the wooden enclosure.
Han Yan followed the noise across the courtyard, wondering whether some wild animal had managed to get inside.
However, when he reached the coop and looked towards it, he stopped in his tracks.
There, in the middle of the commotion, stood a completely naked, dark-skinned man.
His long hair fell loosely down his back, while the morning sunlight happened to fall directly on his exposed backside, making the already unusual sight even more absurd.
In one hand, he held one of their fully grown chickens, which struggled...flapping its wings in protest.
Han Yan stared at the strange scene, completely dumbfounded.
Was this man seriously standing naked in his courtyard, holding one of his chickens as though he had every right to be there?
