Chapter 27: The Yang Family's Daughter-in-law
Ga g g g…
The sound of ducks came from afar, as if the wild ducks living here were coming back.
"Let's hide quickly. Maybe we can catch a duck and make duck soup later."
Yang Daya grabbed Lin Wanwan's wrist, then called Yang Guodong, and the three of them rushed into the depths of the reeds.
After running for a while, they realized that except for the place where they came in where the water was relatively shallow, the reed marsh was surrounded by water on all sides.
Moreover, the water was very deep in other places and they could not wade through it at all.
But they could already hear the cries of wild ducks when they came here. Yang Daya was anxious and pulled Lin Wanwan down to squat down.
By the way, he also broke off some tall reeds and placed them in front of him.
Yang Guodong followed suit and hid in another direction.
Lin Wanwan was also curious about what the duck looked like, so she squatted obediently in the reeds, even breathing much more lightly.
“Ga ga ga…”
The wild ducks came back quacking, circled around the island in the middle of the lake, but couldn't find the eggs they had laid.
A group of wild ducks gathered together, their tails like boat planks shaking violently. Lin Wanwan couldn't understand what they were saying.
[This group of wild ducks said their eggs were missing. They must have been visited by two-legged beasts. This place is no longer safe, so they need to find another place to stay.]
Although Lin Wanwan didn't understand what the wild ducks were calling, 3628 kindly translated it for her.
[System, are these wild ducks so smart? ]
Lin Wanwan was very curious. She knew that ducks were social animals and rarely acted alone.
But I didn't expect these ducks to be so smart. Just because the eggs they laid disappeared, they could associate it with someone having been here.
[Host, don't underestimate any creature. Although their IQ may not be high, they are not completely brainless!]
[This is also a rare opportunity. Host, please find a way to catch a few more ducks. If you miss this opportunity, these ducks won't come back here for two or three months.]
Although ducks are intelligent, they have short memories.
I have lost my eggs here and suffered losses here. Although I won’t come back in the short term, I will still come here to settle down again after a long time.
Lin Wanwan looked at the flock of wild ducks outside and felt a little itchy in her heart.
Since she failed to catch the pheasant before and missed the chance to eat pheasant meat, she said she had to try the duck meat this time.
But although there were many ducks, as soon as they appeared, these wild ducks would run into the water, and she couldn't swim, so it was very difficult to catch them.
"Aunt San, there are a lot of wild ducks here. Let's just rush out and catch them."
"If we don't catch them, these wild ducks will leave!"
"The three of us will go in three different directions. Even if we only catch one, it will be a profit."
Seeing that the wild ducks were about to leave, Yang Daya could no longer stay there.
She gently tugged at Lin Wanwan's sleeve and discussed with her in a low voice.
"Okay, let's do it!"
Not to mention Yang Daya couldn't sit still, even Lin Wanwan herself felt that she couldn't delay any longer.
After exchanging a glance with Yang Daya, he rushed out in one leap.
Yang Guodong, who was over there, saw that his third aunt and his eldest sister had moved, so he rushed out too.
The three of them rushed into the flock of wild ducks from three different directions. Lin Wanwan was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and she caught a wild duck in one go.
Because of this action, she lost her balance and fell to the ground.
But because of this, by chance, her buttocks sat on the hind legs of a duck, and her shoulders crushed the head of a duck.
Lin Wanwan was very satisfied after harvesting three at once.
Although I fell a little embarrassingly and was covered in mud, having meat to eat was more fortunate than anything else.
If your clothes are dirty, you can just go home and wash them.
She won a great victory, and Yang Daya also caught one.
Even the youngest, Yang Guodong, came back with two ducks in his hands.
The two ducks Yang Guodong caught were both alive. He held the ducks by their necks, flapped their wings desperately, and kicked their feet wildly, leaving several cuts on his arms.
After this incident, the other ducks had already fled in all directions and swam far away into the river.
"I didn't expect to catch so many ducks this time. Auntie, let's go back quickly and forget about catching any fish!"
Yang Guodong held a duck in one hand. Although it hurt from the duck's claws, he never let go.
"Will the villagers see us if we go back like this?"
Lin Wanwan looked at the prey in the hands of the three people. Even if all the ducks were put into the bucket, it would not be able to hold so many!
If they took it back openly and were seen by the villagers, just as Yang Daya had told her before, some people with bad intentions would definitely report them.
Although wild ducks are born and raised in the wild, some people are just mean-spirited and can't stand seeing others eat meat.
Maybe I should sue them for stealing our partners.
Lin Wanwan didn't want to stay in the small dark room.
"Third Aunt is right."
"Xiaodong, take the two ducks for me, then take the shortcut back and tell grandma about this."
Yang Daya felt that this matter should be handled by the parents.
6 ducks is not a small number, and 4 of them are lively and energetic.
Except for one that was crushed to death or disabled by Aunt Three, the other four were still intact.
If I take this bird home, clip its feathers and keep it in a pen to raise it slowly, maybe it can even lay some eggs for their family.
"Then you have to be careful, sister. This wild duck is very fierce. Don't get hurt by it."
Yang Guodong put the duck's neck under his feet and stepped on it. He pulled some water plants from the side and tied the duck's legs.
After tying the ducks' legs, they clipped their wings behind their backs so they couldn't run away.
Although Yang Guodong is the youngest here, he is smart and has seen his grandmother catch chickens.
You know, creatures like chickens and ducks, if you clip their wings behind their backs and tie their legs, they will almost lose the ability to resist.
Only after she finished all this did she leave with peace of mind.
Daya looked at the duck jumping around in her hand, and then looked at the wild duck tied up obediently by her brother at her feet.
He also imitated Yang Guodong's method, pulled some water plants, and tied up the wild duck himself.
"Auntie San, let me help you!"
Yang Daya took care of her ducks, pulled some strong aquatic plants and came to Lin Wanwan.
Help her tie up the living one, and then tie up the lame wild duck. The last one had its head crushed, it could only be considered bad luck.
Yang Daya was secretly delighted in her heart. It would be better if she died. After she died, she could no longer contain her body. After she died, she could eat her meat...
Third Aunt is lucky. If all of them were alive, grandma might have raised the ducks.
At that time, whether you take it out to exchange for supplies or keep it at home to lay eggs, you can't kill it and eat it.
