"It's good as long as it's a duck egg."
Ning Xiyue walked here and was relieved to see the egg liquid leaking out after she stepped on it. From Liu Yao's expression just now, she thought she had stepped on something bad.
"Ha! I was wondering what the heck was going on. It turned out to be a duck egg. I'm so lucky."
Liu Yao felt relieved now. She retracted her foot, walked around the reeds on her side, and squatted down on the left side where it was easier to see.
The three of them used sticks to pull away the surrounding cover, revealing a pile of eggs hidden under the reeds.
Liu Yao looked at the eggs in the nest in surprise and exclaimed, "Wow, there are so many eggs in this nest! Let me count them. Oh my god, there are twenty-one, plus the one I crushed, that's a total of twenty-two."
"You stepped well. If you hadn't stepped on an egg on the edge, this whole nest of eggs wouldn't have been discovered at all." Chen Yetu gave a thumbs up and praised. This girl was very lucky. She stepped on more than 20 eggs with one step.
"These eggs look like they were laid by several ducks. Let's see if there are any bad ones." Ning Xiyue picked up an egg, shook it, and checked it under the light.
The eggs in this nest have white shells and green shells. The white shells alone have two kinds of white, pure white and flesh-white. The green shells also have gray-green and bluish-white. I don’t know how long they have been laid. The mud on the eggshells doesn’t look fresh.
"Yes, yes, let's see how many good ones there are first. I hope there are more good eggs." Liu Yao clasped her hands together and made a wish.
The three people took the eggs and checked them one by one. In the end, half of them were good eggs and half were bad eggs, so there were still eleven eggs left.
"I'm satisfied. There's one more good egg than bad egg."
Liu Yao clapped her hands and put the eleven duck eggs into her backpack with satisfaction.
The remaining ten eggs were put back in their original places, hoping that ducklings would hatch.
After the three of them restored the reeds, they continued walking forward. Liu Yao said excitedly, "Let's remember this place and come back again in the future. Maybe the ducks will come back here to give birth."
"I hope so." Chen Yetu nodded with a smile and continued to explore the way with the stick.
Ning Xiyue reminded: "You must pay attention to your steps, find the right position before stepping down, and don't go to places with a lot of water."
The further they went in, the wetter the ground in the reed marsh became. She was afraid of encountering a place with a lot of mud and accidentally sinking into it. You know, some places are very deep. If you don’t use a stick to explore the way and don’t pay attention to your feet, it will be very dangerous to step into it.
After Ning Xiyue's reminder, Chen Yechu and Liu Yao walked very carefully, always paying attention to their feet. They used sticks to determine their footing before walking, and tried to walk in places with clear weather.
Chen Yechu suddenly squatted down and shouted in surprise: "Wow, there are so many small snails here, let's pick some and fry them."
