Chapter 294 Duck Weeding
"Is this a snake? It doesn't look like one."
Lin Zhian saw what Gu Qinghan brought over. The skin was yellowish-brown, smooth and scaleless. It had been cut into pieces and strung together with branches. He was a little curious.
"No, it's an eel. It just looks like a snake."
Gu Qinghan explained and put it on the rack to roast.
"Where's Brother Guang? Have you seen him come back?"
"No." Lin Zhian shook his head. He had been sitting here for half a day but hadn't seen a single figure.
"Anyway, my brother said he would be back at a certain time, so we just have to wait." Li Junyong said, flipping the grilled fish in his hand.
"By the way, since we are resting here, we won't be able to enter the village later. Do you have any objections?" Gu Qinghan looked at the three people in front of him and said.
"No problem. We have water and meat to eat. We should set off early and get to North City as soon as possible." Lin Zhian looked at the first grilled fish, which was already browned and exuding fragrance, and couldn't help swallowing.
Li Junyong: "Here are the sauces and chili powder, sprinkle them on."
"You guys brought so many things with you. I didn't expect you even had this." Wu Mingshi took it, a little surprised.
Sprinkling these on top will make the grilled fish taste even more fragrant.
Lin Zhian sniffed the smell that was now emanating, and his stomach growled even louder.
After turning it over and roasting it for a while, Wu Mingshi took it out and divided it evenly. Lin Zhian finally ate the roasted fish. It felt so good to eat meat.
"Oh, I'm eating it."
Li Junguang came out of the woods carrying a knife, and spoke when he saw four people sitting together.
"Brother, you're back. This is left for you." Li Junyong pointed to the grilled fish left on the other side.
"I'm so sorry, I didn't catch anything."
Although Li Junguang said this, he did not stop. He walked to the stream, washed his hands, and then sat next to Li Junyong.
"This fish is grilled really well, there is no fishy smell at all."
Li Junyong agreed: "Of course, you don't even look at who baked it."
Lin Zhian and Wu Mingshi on the side were shocked: Does this look like embarrassment?
After a sumptuous grilled fish meal, everyone put out the fire, packed up their things, and set off again.
Several cars behind also followed suit.
"Brother, let's not go into the village. Let's get out of the forest quickly." Li Junyong said to his eldest brother.
"That would be great!"
Li Junyong looked puzzled, "What's so good?"
"I forgot to tell you that the people in that village are very strange and xenophobic. It's better for you not to go there, so as to avoid trouble."
"Then if we pass by, will they cause trouble to us if they see us?"
Li Junyong was a little worried. What if it was a robbery or rape?
"I can't see it. It's still some distance away from their village."
"I have to speed up and get out of this forest before dark, and then I will be on the main road."
Li Junguang waved the whip and increased the speed.
……
"Is that the sound of a carriage in the woods over there?"
On a hidden hilltop, two figures, one tall and one short, stood on the hillside with their faces covered. A low, hoarse, and tearing voice suddenly rang out.
"If they don't come, there's no need to pay attention to them. Don't disturb the people in the village." The tall figure said coldly.
"Got it. Let's go."
Two figures suddenly disappeared on the hillside.
……
three days later
Hsinchu Village
Early in the morning, after Xu Yuan and Xu Zhi and a few others finished practicing Ba Duan Jin, a new day began.
After breakfast, Xu Yuan fed the livestock at home as usual, then many Japanese fruits went to school, Xu Zhi watered the vegetables in the vegetable garden, and Xu Yuan went to Wang Shan.
The seedlings in the paddy fields have taken root, and it's time to weed.
Xu Yuan planned to save some energy and borrow the ducks from Wang Shan's family.
"Yuan girl, is the method you mentioned really feasible?" Wang Shan was incredulous when he heard Xu Yuan's intention.
"How do you know if you don't try? If it gets ruined, I'll accept it." He didn't dare to say anything careless when making a wish. After all, it was still uncertain whether it would succeed or not.
"Aren't you just kidding? That won't do. I've worked so hard to plant the crops, and it would be so sad if the ducks destroyed them." Wang Shan waved his hands when he saw that Xu Yuan didn't look sure about it.
"Really not lending it?" Xu Yuan asked back.
"Oh, it's not that I won't lend it to you, but it would be a shame if you were to waste something you're not sure of."
"Trust me, I'll take responsibility for whatever happened, and I won't cause you any trouble. I promise."
Seeing that Xu Yuan was determined to borrow it, Wang Shan couldn't bear to refuse. He thought for a long time and said, "Okay, I'll lend it to you, but I have to go with you. If something goes wrong, I can help you chase them away."
"No problem. If it works, maybe it can help you, too."
Wang Shan brought two bamboo cages, put straw at the bottom, and went into the chicken coop.
Fortunately, I made the wish early and didn’t have time to drive the ducks into the specially fenced-off ditch.
"quack……"
The sound of ducks calling and flapping their wings could be heard from inside. There were not many ducks, only six in total. Wang Shan worked for a while and caught all the ducks in the bamboo cage.
Xu Yuan saw Wang Shan coming out with a cage outside and couldn't help laughing. He didn't know which duck's feathers he pulled, but Wang Shan's head was covered with duck feathers.
"That's really troublesome, Uncle Ashan. Thank you. I'll help you carry it."
"Go away, go away. It's already in my hands. How can I let a little girl like you carry it?"
……
When Wang Shan came down the hill carrying two cages of ducks, all the villagers passing by cast curious glances at him.
Xuyuan followed behind with ease, looking here and looking into the ditch.
By the way, the people in this village are really quick to act. The ditches that were previously overgrown with wild celery and had no water in them are now mostly empty.
"Ashan, what are you doing?"
Feng Xing passed by here carrying a load of firewood and asked curiously.
"It's okay. I'm just taking a walk." Wang Shan didn't want to say more. After all, he knew how crazy the idea of making a wish was.
We don’t know whether it will succeed or not.
"Walking around?"
"You are really busy."
Feng Xing shook his head helplessly and walked away carrying the firewood.
Ignoring the curious looks along the way, he arrived safely at the paddy field of Xuyuan's family.
The seedlings in the paddy fields are lush and green, and there are a lot of weeds growing.
"Are you sure you want to release it?"
Wang Shan put down the cage he was carrying and asked again.
"put."
Oh, let's just leave it to fate.
Wang Shan opened the baffle, tentatively picked up a duck and put it into the paddy field.
The ducks had already arrived at the paddy field. They swam directly along the gaps between the seedlings and began to eat the weeds in the field without even touching the seedlings.
This made Wang Shan a little nervous, until the duck didn't even touch the seedlings and the weeds disappeared completely wherever it passed. Only then did Wang Shan breathe a sigh of relief and feel happy.
In two or three strokes, all the ducks in the cage were driven into the paddy field.
He nodded towards Xuyuan and said, "Girl Yuan, this method really works."
Xu Yuan didn't say anything, just smiled.
It turns out that no matter how much you say, it is better to see it with your own eyes.
