Jiang Ning sailed along the lake in a boat, and searched the lake with his spiritual consciousness, even the surrounding shallow water areas, but he could not find the wild duck tied with a red rope.
In order to prevent wild ducks from flying away from the mountain and lake and being caught and slaughtered, he specially arranged a formation in the Qingyu Lake area.
‘It can only be on the mountain.’ Jiang Ning thought to himself.
He drove the spirit boat and flew towards the forest of Huqi Mountain. His consciousness kept scanning along the way, and finally found traces of wild ducks on the mountainside.
Jiang Ning stopped the spirit boat by the gurgling stream, and his hidden figure appeared.
In the bleak winter, Huqi Mountain does not have the desolation of winter, but is like spring all year round.
Jiang Ning climbed up the winding bluestone steps. The orchards on both sides were covered with fruit trees with green leaves and red fruits. Wherever he passed, flowers were blooming, and there were more birds, insects, and butterflies.
Being in such a mountain forest, Jiang Ning's breathing became slightly smoother.
These bluestone steps were all made of stone that Jiang Ning asked Shao Shuangshuang to transport. He repaired it with a flying sword and then embedded it in the mountain. It took him a lot of effort.
Now that several months have passed, moss has grown on the stone steps, and he goes all the way up to the courtyard.
Jiang Ning walked across the courtyard and picked up a few tea leaves and mountain springs. He held the tea cup and a spiritual fire appeared in his palm. The tea boiled instantly and the fragrance of tea filled the air.
When he walked to the back of the courtyard, he saw only a few tea trees and a melon field.
Jiang Ning's eyes fell on the melon field. Among the lush green melon vines, round watermelons were lying quietly. Next to a large watermelon, a wild duck with a red cloth strip on its leg was inserting its head into the watermelon.
Eat secretly.
Looking at it like that, Jiang Ning couldn't help but feel happy. He thought the wild duck had gone somewhere, but it turned out that it had come here to steal it.
No wonder he found that the quality of this wild duck was slightly better than that of other ducks. It turned out to be nourished by spiritual melon.
Not only did this wild duck eat by itself, but it also took two little fluffy wild ducks to eat together. It looked so naive that Jiang Ning felt that if Xue Yuantong saw it, he would definitely be happy.
Jiang Ning reached out and grabbed the wild duck that was feasting on the food. He grabbed it from beside the big watermelon. The wild duck hurriedly flapped its wings, trying to spread its wings and fly high, but it couldn't resist at all.
The two little wild ducks poked their heads out of the watermelon and looked at this scene in shock.
Jiang Ning was not dissatisfied. Wild ducks couldn't eat many melons, unlike wild boars in the mountains, which really wasted things.
He twirled the duck wings, they were good, the muscles were very solid, and he touched the duck feathers, they were smooth.
Before leaving, Jiang Ning tied a red cloth strip on each of the cute little wild ducks and praised them:
"If you live or die to benefit the ducks, your family responsibility will be passed down from generation to generation!"
After punishing the melon thief, Jiang Ning drove the spirit boat to the direction of the river dam. He estimated that Tongtong would be starving when he found out that he had no food to eat in the morning.
…
River dam.
After Xue Yuantong learned that he had been deceived by the quilt, he fell asleep in grief and anger. When he woke up again, it was almost ten o'clock.
After getting up comfortably, she ran to Chu Chu's house to find food.
Xue Chuchu told her that Jiang Ning didn't leave any food for you in the morning, and Xue Yuantong was heartbroken.
Then, he changed his words and said, although Jiang Ning didn't leave it for you, I secretly left some for you. Xue Yuantong was very happy.
She ate the only half piece of steamed bun and told Chu Chu at the table: "You are the best person to me in the world."
And Xue Yuantong said that because Jiang Ning didn't leave breakfast for her, she now holds a grudge against Jiang Ning. When he comes home, she will never forgive him and will scold him with the power of thunder.
Xue Chuchu was recently coerced by Jiang Ning and also criticized him, so the two reached a common strategic goal.
At this moment, there was a movement outside.
Xue Chuchu thought it was Jiang Ning, but Xue Yuantong said calmly: "It's not him."
After a while, Teacher Qian shouted at the door: "Tongtong, someone has found your door."
Xue Yuantong was surprised. After her family moved to the city, she had no relatives at all. Who would come to her house?
With doubts, she and Chu Chu went out to greet her, and then saw the little princess Yao Yiyao carrying a gift.
Yao Yiyao's dress is as exquisite as ever. She is wearing a gray plush woolen coat, paired with a pure white scarf, which makes people's eyes bright.
When she saw Xue Yuantong, she immediately said sincerely: "Hello, I'm here to say thank you. Is Jiang Ning here?"
Xue Yuantong was stunned for a moment, then straightened up his chest and assumed the aura of being in charge: "He is not here now, but he will definitely come back at noon. If you have anything to say, tell me first!"
…
Jiang Ning tied the wild duck to the spirit boat.
He originally wanted to go back to Heba directly, but when he crossed Qingyu Lake, he looked down and saw that in the bleak winter, the lotus flowers on the east side of the lake were blooming one after another, one after another, like a picture of infinite green lotus leaves reaching the sky.
The sight of lotus flowers reflecting the sun is uniquely red.
There used to be few lotus flowers in the lake. Later, Shao Shuangshuang got a lot of seeds and Jiang Ning planted some at the center of the spiritual array. Now, after a rough sweep, there are more than ten types of lotus, including red lotus, white lotus, water lily, green lotus, etc.
.
The spirit boat swung its tail and slowly landed on the lake.
Jiang Ning's eyes pierced through the clear lake water and saw countless fertile blue lake mud beneath the shallow water with lush aquatic plants.
He stretched out his hand to grab it, and his spiritual power turned into a big hand. He reached out to the water surface, pushed aside the seemingly lifeless lake mud, and firmly grasped a wild lotus root hidden deep in the mud.
With a little force, the whole wild lotus root was pulled out of the mud. The whole lotus root was intact and the skin was tender and smooth.
He cut it with his fingers, and with a flash of inspiration, the wild lotus root was like tofu cut with a knife, instantly breaking into two pieces.
The wild lotus root was white and creamy, with a delicate and transparent hole in the middle. It was cute and cute. Jiang Ning took a bite and found that it was crisp and sweet.
He ate some and then handed the remaining wild lotus root to the wild duck tied on the spirit boat: "Do you want to eat the wild lotus root?"
Wild ducks would rather die than eat.
Jiang Ning casually threw the wild lotus root into the lake, allowing it to rot freely and nourish the mud.
He searched with his spiritual consciousness and selected a new lotus root. This lotus root had five sections.
Lotus roots are very delicate and are best eaten when they are freshly grown. If they are left for a little longer, gray-brown spots will appear on the skin, making them unpalatable.
Jiang Ning gave Ye Lotus some wood spiritual power, and the flying boat lifted off from the water and set off again.
…
Jiang Ning rode a battery car home.
There was no other way. It would be too shocking to lower the flying boat directly. He didn't want his ordinary life to be disrupted.
Jiang Ning was riding a battery bike with one hand, while wild lotus roots were wrapped in plastic wrap and stood in front of the bike.
He appeared at the door of his house and found that there were many guests.
The Yao family's father and daughter quickly gathered around, and Jiang Ning handed the wild duck to Xue Yuantong.
Xue Yuantong opened his eyes wide and looked at the duck. At first glance, this duck was different from the usual domestic ducks. The color was very different.
The duck's head and neck are bright green, its body is brown, its wings are off-white, and its wing tips turn purple-blue, with a faint metallic luster.
She wanted to reach out and take it, but the duck opened its mouth and bit her.
She was so frightened that she shrank her little hands back. Immediately, she felt that she had lost face and was very angry.
Xue Yuantong called: "Chu Chu!"
Although Xue Chuchu looks delicate, she is a good hand at housework and has even killed chickens with her own hands.
She grabbed the wild duck's wings and captured it easily.
Xue Chuchu estimated that it weighed about two kilograms.
??????55.??????
This wild duck is quite eye-catching. Yao Haikuo wanted to come up and thank Jiang Ning. After seeing the wild duck, he couldn't help but ask: "Did you buy it?"
He was nearly forty years old, so he had naturally tasted the game meat of pheasants and wild ducks. There were still people who secretly hunted ducks in that era.
Yao Haikuo once witnessed with his own eyes the scene of those people using electric shocks to catch ducks. After they found a group of wild ducks, they observed the habitats they frequented, then placed the electric grid in the water or on the shore, and then drove boats to drive away the ducks. In just ten years,
In minutes, a population of hundreds of wild ducks disappears.
Even more severe, there is poisoning, which is even more lethal.
Therefore, this has also caused the number of wild ducks to decrease year by year, and the protection efforts have also been continuously strengthened. The last time Yao Haikuo learned about wild ducks was seven or eight years ago. A pound of wild duck meat was sold for 150 yuan per piece, like the one in Jiang Ning's hand.
Only, estimated value is 300 yuan.
That time Yao Haikuo went to buy it, but because of his status, he couldn't buy it and they wouldn't sell it.
He looked at the hard texture of the duck bill and could tell at a glance that it was definitely the real thing.
This broadened Yao Hai's horizons.
Jiang Ning said lightly: "Family raised."
It was indeed raised by him. After all, the ecology of Huqi Mountain and Qingyu Lake was created by him himself. They all belong to him. Any birds in them naturally belong to him.
Yao Haikuo looked at the wild duck and felt moved, but he knew the purpose of his visit.
Skipping the topic, Yao Haikuo said sincerely: "After what happened last time, we went back and thought about it for a long time. Thanks to your help, otherwise I can't imagine the consequences!"
After some talk, Yao Haikuo presented generous gifts, including a box of Feitian Moutai, 6 boxes of milk, two boxes of nut gift boxes, two boxes of soy sauce gift boxes, a box of peach gum, a box of honey, and a box of classic monkey mushroom biscuits.
Xue Yuantong was dumbfounded. How long would it take her to eat so many things?
After another round of pleasantries, as a matter of courtesy, Jiang Ning invited them to stay for lunch.
Yao Haikuo was moved again and thought about it. He didn't have a parent, so he was not comfortable being left as an old man, so he simply said goodbye on the grounds that he had something to do at noon.
He left, but Xue Yuantong persuaded his daughter to stay. After all, he gave her so many gifts, so it was right for her to stay for a meal.
Yao Yiyao hugged the Maine Coon cat and was quite curious about everything in the bungalow.
The Maine Coon cat in her arms has grown again and is quite cute.
Xue Yuantong wanted to pet the cat, but the cat arrogantly ignored her and was very indifferent, causing Xue Yuantong to retract his hand in a sullen manner.
She pouted behind her back, this cat has the same little princess physique as Yao Yiyao before!
After suffering a setback, Xue Yuantong said to her: "We will kill the duck to show you!"
Yao Yiyao was slightly surprised by this kind of hospitality, but she had never seen a duck-killing scene.
This wild duck grew up in a place with abundant spiritual energy, and knew how to steal spiritual melons to eat, so it had a rather strong physique.
Xue Chuchu held the duck wings and could feel the firmness of the meat. It must be a wild duck that has been exercising regularly.
Xue Yuantong took out the kitchen knife from the house, and then took out the whetstone, first sharpening the knife.
The wild duck struggled wildly and opened its mouth to bite.
Xue Yuantong's sword fell, the duck's blood came out, and the wild duck died.
Jiang Ning nodded aside, yes, with Chu Chu's assistance, there was no need for him to knock him out now.
Yao Yiyao frowned, seeing the fresh life withering away, she actually felt a sense of intolerance, sympathy and sadness.
God, she couldn't bear to eat this duck!
As for the Maine Coon cat in her arms, she even looked frightened.
Xue Yuantong held the bleeding kitchen knife and slowly looked at the Maine Coon cat. The cat meowed in fear and almost jumped up!
Xue Yuantong is happy.
…
Zhuang Jianhui was very lucky today and was lucky enough to catch a big blue-black fish!
This is herring, nearly 40 centimeters long and weighing two pounds!
As a fisherman, no matter how noble your background is, the joy you feel at the moment you catch a fish is unparalleled.
Envy and jealous eyes flew around the pond, and the fishermen around him congratulated him hypocritically, saying that he was really lucky.
Zhuang Jianhui emphasized that it was his superb fishing skills.
He told Lin Zida: "Give this fish to Boss Yang at noon today and ask him to make pickled fish."
Lin Zida was also jealous of it. He had been in this fish pond for a while and had never caught such a big fish.
Zhuang Jianhui first took photos and posted them on WeChat Moments and QQ Zone, then threw the herring into the net, then picked up the net and left the fish pond.
He first went to Boss Yang's place, said hello, and after being seen by the guests around him, he moved forward along the bungalow.
No reason, just happy, Dese!
Zhuang Jianhui passed by Teacher Qian's house, Uncle Tang, Butcher Zhang... and then walked to Tongtong's house in the east, where he happened to see a few people killing wild ducks.
He was stunned for a moment.
I took a closer look at the tragically dead wild duck, with its bright green head, brown body, gray-white wings, and the most eye-catching red cloth strips on its legs.
‘Isn’t this the wild duck I observed on the terrace? How did it appear here?”
'Isn't it right?'
He has an inverted contrast between reality and dreams.
Zhuang Jianhui left without saying a word and in a daze.
After Xue Yuantong noticed it, "Hahaha, I'm so awesome, I scare people into confusion!"
Jiang Ning praised: "Big Sword Man."
After bleeding the wild duck, the next step is to pluck the feathers.
Xue Chuchu said: "Ban it with boiling water and then pluck the hair."
Xue Yuantong shook his head: "You can't pull it out like this. The skin of wild ducks is thin and will break when boiled with boiling water. You must use dry pulling method."
This point involves Xue Chuchu's knowledge blind spot. She really doesn't know this.
Xue Yuantong educated her: "Chu Chu, you still have a long way to go."
Yao Yiyao listened to the whole process. She had no hands on Yang Chun Shui and had no understanding of it at all.
For the first time, she felt that there was such a big gap between herself and her peers.
Xue Yuantong found a big cloth bag, put the wild duck in it, and pulled out the duck's feathers vigorously.
…
By the fish pond.
Zhuang Jianhui was stimulated and ran to Lin Zida and told him about the wild duck incident he encountered.
Finally, he asked: "Little Fatty, do you think there is a possibility that Jiang Ning went to Qingyu Lake and caught the wild duck?"
Lin Xiaopang denied: "How is it possible? Changqingye's security guards patrol day and night. You and I know very well how strong their protective power is."
Evergreen Liquid's security is at the top level in the industry. It is strictly screened, and the wages, benefits and benefits are excellent. There is even a special investigation team to manage the security. No one dares to watch and steal.
Steel wire mesh has recently been erected around Qingyu Lake and Huqi Mountain. How do ordinary people climb over it?
Lin Zida: "You probably saw it wrong."
Zhuang Jianhui insisted: "Absolutely not."
There was silence between the two for a while, and Lin Zida frowned. He thought of the last conflict at the shooting range, and his tone became solemn: "Is there a possibility that we underestimated Jiang Ning? His parents' status in Changqingye may be so high.
