Little Cabbage froze when he saw the duck. He stared at it blankly, then said somewhat nervously, "Is it... is it crying?"
Yue Jiuling was bending down to move another cage next to her when she heard Xiaobaicai's words and turned around to look: "Who's crying?"
Little Cabbage pointed at the yellow duck with a flat beak and white feathers and said, "Sister, look at this duck, is it crying?"
"She cried? Really?"
Yue Jiuling's expression was a bit strange. She didn't quite believe that ordinary ducks could cry. After all, ducks are a kind of low-level animal. Unless they have become spirits, they generally wouldn't cry like this. And she couldn't tell which of these ducks had become spirits.
She peered curiously at the duck that Little Cabbage was pointing to: "Which one? Let me see."
When Yue Jiuling saw the duck that was actually crying, she was extremely surprised, because the duck looked like an ordinary duck, but it was really crying!
"Holy crap, is this guy some kind of supernatural being? Or did I just miss something?"
Yue Jiuling stared at the duck in disbelief, while Xiao Baicai looked equally surprised. He said, "Sister, this duck is so pitiful, why don't we save it?"
Just as Xiaobaicai finished speaking, Yazi and the vendor returned. Since Yazi had already helped the vendor move several cages down, they came back to continue moving them.
When Ya Zi heard Xiao Baicai say "Save it," she asked curiously, "Save who? What are you doing?"
The vendor also asked, "What's wrong? Did something happen to the ducks?"
He was about to bend down to move the cage at Little Cabbage's feet when he was stopped by her. Little Cabbage pointed to the duck that was still crying and said, "Boss, your duck is crying, it's so pitiful~"
Upon hearing this, the vendor immediately went to check on the duck. Sure enough, he was shocked to see that his duck was actually shedding tears: "My goodness! Is it crying?"
Ya Zi also came over to take a look. When he saw the duck crying, he exclaimed in surprise, "Tsk~ Has it become a spirit?"
At this moment, Yue Jiuling also felt that this duck seemed to be no ordinary duck. She said, "Little cabbage, do you really like this duck?"
Little Cabbage nodded and said, "It's so pitiful, it's crying. I want to save it."
The group looked at the duck with some surprise. The vendor exclaimed, "Wow, I didn't expect this little thing to be so clever. But if you want to buy it, I can give you a discount."
Upon hearing this, Little Cabbage immediately went to look for his wallet. Holding the wallet, he asked, "How much money?"
The vendor probably felt that the duck had a certain spirit, and it would be a pity if he sold it and someone else ate it, so he quoted a reasonable price, and Xiaobaicai immediately took out her money to buy the duck.
After the vendors left with the remaining ducks, Yue Jiuling smiled and tapped the duck's head with her finger, saying, "Well? We saved you, how do you plan to repay us?"
Ever since Xiaobaicai bought the duck, she had been holding it in her arms. Now it had stopped crying, but it was a little scared and hunched its neck and head, not daring to move.
Little Cabbage stroked its head and said, "This duck seems very smart. It stopped crying when it saw that we bought it."
Ya Zi chuckled and said, "It is indeed clever. It seems to have gained some intelligence, but it is still very weak."
Yue Jiuling could also see that although this duck hadn't become a spirit, it was smarter than ordinary ducks, so she guessed why it was crying. However, she still looked at the duck with a smile and said, "So what if it has a little intelligence? As long as it hasn't officially become a spirit, I still have a chance to stew it."
Little Cabbage looked at Yue Jiuling cautiously and said, "Sister, please let it go. I want to raise it and wait for it to lay eggs to eat."
Although Yue Jiuling really liked eating duck, she was also a woman of discretion. She knew that Xiao Baicai had bought the duck to play with, so she naturally didn't really want to eat it. However, she found it amusing to see the duck trembling with fear at her words.
