In the dead of night, when 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 kinds of diseases. Although the effect is greatly reduced after adding it to the well to dilute it, there is no harm in it.
"Quack, quack, quack!"
Before she even reached the well, several geese in the shed were awakened, stretching their necks and screaming wildly at her.
Yun Mo was startled, and quickly raised her finger to her mouth, and whispered to a few big geese: "Shhhhhh, don't scream, or I'll kill you all and eat them for stew."
"Quack, quack, quack!"
The geese were not threatened by her, but instead squawked more cheerfully.
In the silent night, the squawking of geese was particularly harsh, and the lights in every house were turned on.
The Huang family thought there was a burglar in their home, but they were all surprised when they came out and saw Yun Mo standing in the yard.
"Momo, what are you doing in the goose shed if you're not sleeping?"
Facing the puzzled looks of the Huang family, Yun Mo just explained that she couldn't sleep, so she got up and took a walk in the yard.
The Huang family didn't have any doubts at all. They thought it was because Yun Mo was leaving tomorrow and they couldn't sleep because they felt reluctant to leave. They were quite happy in their hearts.
What Yun Mo didn't expect was that when she left the next day, the Huang family packed two big white geese for her in a bamboo cage and asked her to take them back to Jiangshi together.
"It's not easy for you to come all the way back, and I can't get anything else good from home, so I'll give you two big geese. It's hot, so I can't kill the geese and take them away for you, for fear of them getting damaged on the road.
, you can just take two of them back alive, you can kill them for meat, or you can raise them for eggs."
Looking at the two big white geese that could only sit quietly because their feet were tied, Yun Mo did not refuse this special gift.
It's always hard to say goodbye.
Amid Huang Zhiqiu's instructions, Yun Mo got into the car bound for the city with melancholy.
At the train station, Yun Mo only bought a ticket to return to Jiang City the next morning, so she turned around and went to the guest house where she stayed before.
As soon as she entered, the receptionist recognized her.
"Girl, a man named Ling called me a few days ago."
Lingchuan called her?
Yun Mo held her doubts and asked subconsciously: "Did he leave any oral message?"
"No, just asked me if you were still there. I said you had left long ago, and he hung up."
After completing the housing procedures, Yunmo couldn't help but call the grocery store.
When the phone rang, Lingchuan and Ling Jiang happened to come in to buy cigarettes.
The boss picked up the phone while getting a cigarette for Ling Jiang, "Hey, who are you looking for? Ling Chuan, he happens to be here, just wait a moment."
"Kawako, your phone number! It must be from my younger siblings."
It wasn't until Ling Jiang bumped his shoulder that Ling Chuan calmly took the microphone from the boss's hand.
"Hello, Lingchuan?"
"Um."
Hearing the familiar and deep voice on the other end of the microphone, Yun Mo felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy and felt a little relaxed.
"What's the matter with you calling me?"
"How is your grandma's leg injury?"
After a moment of silence, the two asked each other almost in unison.
Yun Mo was a little surprised to hear that Lingchuan cared about her grandmother, and at the same time, there was an indescribable emotion in her heart.
"I'm fine now. I can rest at home for a while and walk like a normal person. I just can't do heavy work."
"Um."
Yun Mo hesitated and told the other party her train schedule.
Lingchuan didn't say anything, just reminded her to pay attention to safety on the road and hung up the phone.
Yun Mo made a face at the phone, paid the phone bill and went out to eat.
When I returned to the guest house after dinner, the receptionist greeted me anxiously as soon as I entered the door, "Girl, there is something in your room. The screams can be heard on the whole floor. The guests are scolding me. Please deal with it quickly."
Bar."
Yun Mo quickly returned to the room and found that the door of the bamboo cage had been knocked open by two geese for some reason. The two geese jumped out of the bamboo cage, but because their feet were tied, they could not move around, so they stretched out "
"Quack, quack, quack".
In order to prevent the two geese from disturbing other people, Yun Mo fed the two geese some spiritual spring water respectively, and then tied the beaks of the geese with cloth strips.
I don’t know whether it was because they were gagged or because they felt better after drinking the spiritual spring water. The two big geese nested in the bamboo cage and buried their heads under their wings. They were extremely quiet all night.
When she woke up in the morning, in order to reward the two geese for their good performance, Yunmo fed them some spiritual spring water.
"As long as you behave well, I will consider sparing you when we return to Jiang City. Do you understand me?"
"Quack, quack, quack."
I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but Yun Mo always felt that the two big geese that drank the water from the spiritual spring seemed to be more intelligent, and their small black eyes with a ring of gold rim looked at her a little more docile.
The journey back went smoothly.
Yunmo bought a soft sleeper. In this era, those who can afford a soft sleeper are not ordinary people, so there is no need to worry about the mixed bag.
In the same box as Yun Mo was a couple with a 7 or 8-year-old daughter.
From the conversation, Yun Mo learned that both of them were teachers, one taught high school and the other taught elementary school. They were taking their daughter to visit relatives in Anshi this time.
The little girl was born and raised in the city. When she saw a live big goose for the first time, she was so happy that she always squatted in front of the bamboo cage and played with the big white goose.
The game was not enough, so the little girl begged the couple to raise a goose when she returned home.
At first, the couple refused to agree, thinking that their daughter was just acting on a whim.
"Last month you said you wanted to raise a puppy, and now you want to raise a goose. It comes up as soon as you think about it."
"Mom, I don't want to raise puppies anymore. I want to raise geese. The other friends all keep cats and dogs as pets. I am the only one raising geese. How interesting it is."
The little girl's words inspired Yun Mo.
She hadn't thought about how to deal with these two big white geese. Compared with chicken, goose meat was a bit fishy. She didn't like eating it very much, and she didn't dare to kill the geese. She might as well keep them as two pets.
The goose is ready.
When you have pets, it’s natural to give them names.
Yun Mo stared at the white feathers of the two geese for a while, and quickly had an idea in her mind.
"Dabai Erbai, drink water."
While the couple was taking their children to the dining car to eat, Yun Mo untied the geese's beaks and fed them with spiritual spring water. She whispered to the two geese: "From now on, I'll call you Dabai Erbai. You have a big head, so...
I’ll call you Dabai. If you have a small head, I’ll call you Erbai. You have to remember your names, do you understand?”
At this time, Yun Mo didn't know that there are male and female geese. The one with the big head is the male goose, and the one with the small head and delicate body is the female goose.
—
After two days and one night's journey, the train finally arrived in Jiangshi smoothly.
Yun Mo walked out of the station carrying a backpack and a bamboo cage. She was about to hail a taxi when suddenly there was someone in front of her.
