Grandma Wang was originally planning to blackmail Song Qianning, but just as she was about to scream like a pig being slaughtered, she found that everyone around her had left. Who was she screaming for?

He was so angry that his chest was heaving. Finally, he could only stand up from the ground in shame and brush off the mud on his body. His bones were aching terribly, but there was no scratch on his face.

She was furious for a moment and followed after him, limping along on one foot. She didn't believe that the stinky bitch could make a duck appear from the barren river.

The number of people who came to watch was twice as many as those in the Song family. People surrounded each other and filled both sides of the small ditch.

Song Qianning lowered her eyes and looked at the water without saying a word. Two children followed behind her, looking at her with concern.

She turned around and asked the two children to stand a little behind her, then she slowly went down into the river. The shallow edge of the river was only up to her calves.

Finally, the Purgatory of Thunder did not appear, so Xiaoyu Ji played in the water leisurely in the river.

Seeing that she hadn't made any movement for a long time, someone finally couldn't stand it any longer and shouted:

"You're slacking off! Catch the duck!"

I don’t know if Song Qianning heard it or not. She just saw her suddenly dive into the river and swim away.

This river is not very wide. The foam at the shallowest part is higher than the calf, and the deepest part is higher than an adult's head. Many people have died here.

Seeing that there was no movement on the river for a long time, the villagers began to panic.

"She won't be killed by us, right?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was in an uproar.

"What nonsense! Even if she died, she would have drowned herself in the river!"

"Yes, yes, she committed suicide by jumping into the river. It's none of our business."

Da Wang pursed his lips and spoke up for the woman in front of so many people for the first time. "What nonsense are you talking about! My mother will be back soon!"

With her brother as an example, the little girl also put her hands on her waist and said angrily, "Yes! Mom will be back soon!"

Everyone looked at this innocent brother and sister and couldn't help but shake their heads and sighed a few times in pity.

Da Wang's heart was actually beating fast. He was also very afraid that Song Qianning would leave them again.

At this moment, someone suddenly spotted Song Qianning's figure in a clump of reeds on the other side of the river, "Look!"

This attracted everyone's attention again.

Speaking of Song Qianning, these wild ducks ran away as fast as mice seeing a cat when they saw her.

They were all hiding under the water. She had just chased them all the way in the water and finally forced them out.

Grandma Wang watched the nimble figure leap into the water, holding a long string of ducks tied with water grass and swimming towards the shore like a nimble fish.

As soon as Song Qianning got ashore, Dawang immediately put the dry clothes he had prepared on her. You know, there is still a need to pay attention to the separation between men and women.

But no one paid attention to those things now. Everyone's attention was on the straw rope she made with water plants. There was a long string with at least a dozen ducks tied to it.

Everyone was cheering excitedly, as if they were the ones who caught so many ducks at once.

Song Qianning didn't care at all. She pulled the rope in her hand, and more than ten ducks immediately trembled in fear. This was the unique perception of animals towards the strong.

She raised her lips and said to Dawang and Xiaoya, "Let's go, I'll sell the duck and buy you some candied haws."

"Let's change it to rice. We haven't eaten white rice yet." Da Wang was so happy that he bravely said things he wouldn't normally say.

Moreover, candied haws are not enough to satisfy hunger. If they eat rice instead, they will not be hungry for a long time.

"Okay." Song Qianning had no idea of ​​her son's painstaking efforts. After all, the water was her world.

Except for that damn purgatory, of course.

A mother and her two children were walking home with a bunch of wild ducks, and the ducks were swaying behind them. The scene looked surprisingly harmonious and beautiful.

After arriving home, Da Wang counted the ducks and found that they had a total of sixteen ducks.

Song Qianning changed into dry clothes and dragged out the dozen or so burnt wild ducks she had left last night from the corner of the wall, startling the two children so much that they started to make noises.

"Mom, you are so awesome!" Xiao Ya hugged her, her eyes twinkling.

"Is it possible to sell these burnt ones?" Da Wang became worried. He often wandered around the market, and the buyers were very picky.

"Don't worry, let's eat first. You must be hungry." She was in a good mood today after playing in the water for so long.

There was also spicy roast duck stewing in the pot. The mother and her two children ate it while sweating profusely. It was spicy and fragrant.

No wonder that dead old man, the barefoot immortal, is so obsessed with it!

At Dawang's request, Song Qianning finally decided to sell the live ducks at the market and take the roasted ducks to the villagers' homes in exchange for some rice and flour to store.

After all, with so many people seeing her catch the ducks today, it was inevitable that she would be careless. If someone greedy attacked these two ducks, she would be struck to death by lightning.

It would be better to mark the price openly and honestly, and she can also exchange it for some seeds.

She did it right away, and there were quite a few people willing to change. After all, the pot of duck she had that morning was so tempting, who could resist it?

But the charred duck is really not worth the money.

Ten of them were exchanged for a bag of wheat seeds, half a bag of flour, and some quilts, pots, pans, and other utensils.

"We still have to go to the market to sell it." said Da Wang.

Song Qianning nodded, locked up these things after returning home, and then spent a charred duck to send the two children to the neighboring house to help look after them. Then she carried the more than ten ducks on her back and walked to the market.

Shitou Village is a famous poor village. The nearest market is several miles away. There are several villages there. The original owner's father lives in that area.

Song Qianning found that area according to the original owner's memory. It was not too early now, and curfew would probably be in two hours.

The vendors had already set up their stalls early because it was crowded with people, so she could only find a very remote place to release the ducks.

Suddenly, such a beautiful girl came to the street to buy a duck, and immediately attracted a lot of people's attention.

The girl was dressed in ordinary clothes, but there was an indescribable charm in her every move. If she changed her clothes, it would not be an exaggeration to say that she was the daughter of a wealthy family.

Not to mention her beautiful eyes, white teeth, and curved eyebrows, who could be angry with her?

Soon a guest arrived.

"How much do you sell this duck?"

A simple and honest scholar kept his head down the whole time and didn't dare to look at her, his neck was almost red.

"One piece of silver." She was not at all shy and was more generous than the scholar.

It's just that the price is a bit outrageous.

But money cannot buy a beautiful woman's smile, so the scholar paid for it without saying a word.

Some people shook their heads and left, while others imitated the scholar who bought ducks and came to talk to Song Qianning. The place was packed with people.

At this time, someone in Mr. Song's house ran to the front hall in a panic, shouting, "Master, something bad has happened! The eldest and the eldest daughter are selling ducks on the street!"
