It was late at night and everyone in the Huang family was asleep. Yun Mo quietly walked out of the room and prepared to pour some spiritual spring water into the well in the yard.
Lingquan water has the effect of prolonging life and eliminating all diseases. Although the effect is greatly reduced after being diluted in the well, it is not harmful after all.
“Ga ga ga!”
Before she reached the well, several geese in the shed were awakened and began to stretch their necks and scream at her.
Yun Mo was startled, and quickly put her finger to her mouth and whispered to the geese, "Shhhhh, stop whining, or I'll kill you all and stew you for meat."
“Ga ga ga!”
The geese were not threatened by her; instead, they clucked even more cheerfully.
In the silence of the night, the geese's cries were particularly shrill, and the lights in the houses were lit one after another.
The Huang family thought there was a thief in the house, but when they came out, they saw Yun Mo standing in the yard, and they were all extremely surprised.
"Momo, why are you in the goose shed instead of sleeping?"
Facing the Huang family's puzzled looks, Yun Mo simply explained that she couldn't sleep, so she got up and strolled around the yard.
The Huang family didn't have any doubts. They thought that Yun Mo was leaving tomorrow and she couldn't sleep because she was reluctant to let her go. They were quite relieved in their hearts.
What Yun Mo didn't expect was that when she left the next day, the Huang family actually put two big white geese in a bamboo cage for her to take back to Jiang City.
"It's not easy for you to come back from so far away. My family can't give you anything good, so I'll just give you two big geese. It's hot, so it's not easy to kill the geese for you to take away, for fear that they will get damaged on the way. So you can just bring two alive back. You can kill them for the meat, or keep them for the eggs."
Looking at the two big white geese that had to sit quietly because their feet were tied, Yun Mo did not refuse this special gift.
Parting is always hard.
Following Huang Zhiqiu's instructions, Yun Mo got on the bus to the city with a melancholy mood.
When she arrived at the train station, Yun Mo only bought a ticket back to Jiang City the next morning, and then turned around and went back to the guesthouse where she had stayed before.
As soon as she entered, the receptionist recognized her.
"Girl, a man named Ling called me a few days ago."
Did Ling Chuan call her?
Yun Mo was puzzled and asked subconsciously: "Did he leave any message?"
"No, he just asked me if you were still there. I said you left a long time ago, and then he hung up."
After completing the housing procedures, Yun Mo couldn't help but call the grocery store.
When the phone rang, Ling Chuan and Ling Jiang just came in to buy cigarettes.
The boss picked up the phone and handed Ling Jiang a cigarette, "Hello, who are you looking for? Ling Chuan, he's here, wait a minute."
"Chuanzi, your phone call! It must be your sister-in-law."
It was not until Ling Jiang bumped his shoulder that Ling Chuan calmly took the microphone from his boss.
"Hello, Lingchuan?"
"Um."
Hearing the familiar and deep voice on the other end of the microphone, Yun Mo inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity and felt a little relaxed.
"What's the matter with you calling me?"
"How's your grandmother's leg injury?"
After a moment's silence, the two of them asked each other almost at the same time.
Yun Mo was a little surprised to hear Ling Chuan care about her grandmother, and at the same time, an indescribable emotion arose in her heart.
"Um."
Yun Mo hesitated for a moment and told the other party her train number.
Ling Chuan didn't say anything, just reminded her to be careful on the road and hung up the phone.
Yun Mo made a face into the microphone, paid the phone bill and went out to eat.
After dinner, I returned to the guesthouse. As soon as I entered the door, the front desk receptionist came to me anxiously, "Girl, there is something in your room. The whole floor can hear it. The guests are scolding me. Please deal with it quickly."
Yun Mo hurried back to the room and found that the door of the bamboo cage had somehow been knocked open by two geese. The two geese jumped out of the cage, but because their feet were tied, they could not move, so they stretched their feet and screamed "ga ga ga".
In order to prevent the two geese from disturbing others, Yun Mo fed them some spiritual spring water and then tied up the geese's beaks with cloth strips.
I don’t know if it was because their mouths were sealed, or if they felt better after drinking the spiritual spring water, but the two big geese huddled in the bamboo cage with their heads buried under their wings, and were exceptionally quiet the entire night.
When she woke up in the morning, Yun Mo fed the two geese some more spiritual spring water to reward them for their good performance.

"As long as you behave yourself, I will consider sparing your life once we return to Jiang City. Do you understand?"
“Quack, quack.”
She didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but Yun Mo always felt that the two geese that drank the spiritual spring water seemed to be more spiritual, and their small black eyes with a circle of gold rims looked more docile when they looked at her.
The return journey was smooth.
Yun Mo bought a soft sleeper. In this day and age, those who can afford a soft sleeper are not ordinary people, so there is no need to worry about the mixed crowd.
In the same box with Yun Mo was a couple with a daughter who was about 7 or 8 years old.
From the conversation, Yun Mo learned that both of them were teachers, one taught in high school and the other in elementary school, and they were taking their daughter to visit relatives in Anshi.
The little girl was a native city dweller. It was her first time seeing a live goose and she was so happy that she would squat in front of the bamboo cage and play with the goose.
The little girl was not satisfied with the fun, so she begged the couple to let her raise geese herself when she returned home.
At first, the couple refused to agree, thinking that their daughter was just doing it on a whim.
"You said last month that you wanted to get a puppy, and now you want to get a goose. You just keep doing what you want."
"Mom, I don't want to raise a puppy. I want to raise a goose. Other friends have cats and dogs as pets, but I am the only one who raises a goose. How interesting it is."
The little girl's words gave Yun Mo some inspiration.
She had not yet decided what to do with the two big white geese. Compared to chicken, goose meat was a bit fishy and tough, and she did not like eating it very much. She did not dare to kill the geese, so she might as well keep them as two pet geese.
When you keep pets, you naturally have to give them names.
Yun Mo stared at the white feathers of the two geese for a while and quickly came up with an idea.
"Dabai and Erbai, drink some water."
While the couple took the children to the dining car for dinner, Yun Mo untied the geese's beaks, took out spiritual spring water to feed them, and whispered to the two geese: "From now on, I will call you Dabai and Erbai. You have a big head, so I will call you Dabai, and you have a small head, so I will call you Erbai. You must remember your names. Do you understand?"
At this time, Yun Mo didn't know that geese are divided into male and female. The one with a big head is a male goose, and the one with a small head and a delicate body is a female goose.
—
After two days and one night of travel, the train finally arrived in Jiang City smoothly.
Yun Mo walked out of the exit carrying a backpack and a bamboo basket. Just as she was about to hail a taxi, a person suddenly appeared in front of her.
