"Don't move!" I ran over in panic and looked into the basin.
"Yu. Brother Yu, where are the ducks?" I felt my voice was trembling a little.
Brother Yu turned to look at the kitchen and said with a smile: "That head was bought from the market yesterday, right? It's in the basin."
Seeing that I was stunned, Brother Yu continued: "Let's have a delicious drunken duck at noon. Didn't you have two bottles of Erguotou left from the last festival? I used them all."
I ran to the kitchen and saw the duck soaking in a large stainless steel basin. The hair on its body was not plucked and the smell of wine was very strong.
Swallowing, I grabbed the duck and shook it hard, but it stopped moving.
Brother Yu followed up and said: "Yunfeng, this duck has been drunk with wine. It can not only remove the fishy smell and sterilize it, but also soften the blood vessels, so that it will be clean when bleeding, and it will taste very tender. I will pluck the hair and blanch it in water later."
, the green onions and ginger are sautéed until fragrant, and the fire brings out the sweetness of the wine, so this drunken duck dish is definitely a must-have.”
I raised my wings and looked left and right, "Brother Yu, do you know how much the duck you bought for your head cost?"
"Thirteen? Twenty?"
"No, it's one hundred thousand."
"Oh, that's not bad. How much is this duck?"
I said with a grimace that it might be more than 100,000 yuan.
"This is a head borrowed from the Nanpai Water Monkey. We gave the person a deposit of 100,000. If we use up the duck and return it to others, the deposit will be refunded. If we die, not only will the deposit not be refunded, but we will have to pay compensation to them.
"
"Wait, wait, please let me slow down."
Brother Yu asked in disbelief: "Are you kidding me?" He pointed at the duck and said: "Is this made of gold or silver?"
I explained it again.
Brother Yu was a little panicked. He said anxiously: "Hurry up. I haven't used the knife yet. Soak it in water. If it doesn't work, just fill it with water and see if it can be relieved."
Water ducks are different from landlubbers and cannot leave the water. I fiddled with the duck for a long time and still didn't respond. When I asked, I found out that Brother Yu had just opened the duck's mouth and poured a bottle and a half of white wine into it.
He said he was dead, but he still had some warmth. But he said he was not dead, and he didn't wake up no matter how he swayed.
Others woke up one after another, drank rice soup and had breakfast. They put their heads down and ate the rice and asked: "Where are the ducks, Yunfeng, why are the cages gone? They weren't put here yesterday."
I I was about to say soaking in the basin, but when I finished speaking, Brother Yu glared at me and didn't dare to say anything.
"Um, I'm taking my room, it's cold outside, hehe."
"Well," Naotou took a sip of rice soup and said to me: "Take care of it, feed it some vegetables and leaves later, rest during the day, and we will use it at night."
After hearing what Boss said, Brother Yu had a sad face and sat there stirring the rice soup with chopsticks.
After breakfast, Uncle Xue and I went to the west room to discuss the matter. Brother Yu and I locked the kitchen door in a hurry.
Brother Yu’s plan was to flood it and see if it could come through, but it turned out that it didn’t work until after four o’clock in the afternoon.
He was fanned, slapped in the face, and opened his eyes, but there was no response. Brother Yu turned from anxious to angry. He threw the duck directly on the cutting board, then picked up the kitchen knife and chopped it on the cutting board!
The distance between the kitchen knife and the duck neck should not exceed one centimeter.
"Quack! Quack!"
Suddenly, the water duck suddenly came to life, quacked, flapped its wings and fell to the ground.
It seemed like he woke up with a fright.
"Live! Live! Haha!"
Brother Yu grabbed the duck and stuffed it into the cage.
I was also relieved, otherwise I would definitely have been scolded, this thing is not an ordinary thing, I understand a little bit.
Some grave robbers will tie a chicken with a rope and let the chicken enter the grave first. This is because if they encounter some large tombs that are well sealed, there may be toxic gases, methane or excessive carbon dioxide in the air.
After ten minutes, pull the rope to pull the chicken out. If the chicken is jumping around, it means everything is fine and you can go in.
This is a true story. For example, when the Mawangdui Tomb was just excavated, a worker squatted on the ground and smoked. As a result, blue flames more than two meters high instantly erupted from the tomb. A newspaper reporter took the photo at that time. At night
It looks like a will-o'-the-wisp, with deep blue flames that cannot be extinguished by water.
When digging a water hole, chickens can't swim, so they can only use this kind of trained water duck. Training this thing is like training a cat's head with a partridge woman.
Eagle and Wang Mopan are trained like golden pigs, and the training methods are secrets that are not passed down.
As for why it is called the Echo Duck, there are two theories.
Friends who have raised this thing at home should know that the duck's quacking has no echo, even if it is placed in a house or a cave.
Foreign professionals have conducted research in laboratories, and finally concluded that the duck's call does not have no echo, but becomes a kind of overlapping echo that only the duck itself can hear.
Another explanation is more mysterious. For example, the ancient "Qin Jing" says, "When a duck crows and squawks, it calls out for itself."
The ancients believed that some birds have complete internal organs, and the internal organs correspond to the three souls and seven souls. The three souls and seven souls are fetal light, Shuangling, Youjing (heaven soul, earth soul, human soul), seven souls, and seven souls.
It is said that because the water duck lacks the bird yin among the seven souls, it can see supernatural things such as gods and ghosts, and dig water holes to ward off evil spirits.
Anyway, this thing is worth 100,000 yuan, so it is definitely not simple. In comparison, the current reachable duck is much weaker.
At 9:30 pm, final preparations before departure.
The diving suits were originally prepared per person, but because Lao Tian suddenly stole one pair, one is missing now. He thought about it and said, "Old Li, why don't you stay and look after the house? There must always be someone to take care of you."
Li Tiecheng shook his head repeatedly and said directly: "Wang Boss, I don't agree. As a native of Yongzhou, why don't I want to figure out the mystery of Guiziling? You'd better change someone else."
He frowned and looked at us one by one, finally focusing on Xiaoxuan.
Xiaoxuan was not happy and said hurriedly: "I won't stay. There is no need to look after the house. We just need to lock the door." Xiaoxuan glanced at me intentionally or unintentionally, "Besides, I have been swimming since elementary school and my water skills are not bad."
I said don't look at me, I must go.
"Stop fighting!"
At this time, Douyazai said loudly: "If you want to go, you can go. One more person will take care of you. I have done it last time, so I don't need to bring a gas cylinder this time!"
"No, it's too dangerous. Otherwise, if you wait for two days, I'll go out to do something else," he said, shaking his head. .
"You really don't need to hold your head!"
Douyazai patted his chest and said confidently: "I won't make fun of my own life. Last time I was delayed by watching for a while. This time it will be fine without a gas cylinder. I'm 100% sure."
After a stalemate for several minutes, Dou Sprout finally convinced the leader.
After twelve o'clock that night, a group of us carried the box to the pond. In the box were dry diving suits, masks and small air bottles.
After putting on my equipment, checking my backpack and headlamp, I looked at the sparkling water under the moonlight. I was a little nervous. This was my first time going into a cave. Who knew what was going on down there.
Xiaoxuan grabbed my hand and comforted me in a low voice: "Don't be nervous, it's just like swimming in a swimming pool."
There was a string tied around the duck's neck. When he passed the string to Dou Sprout, he suddenly realized something was wrong.
"Why does this duck walk like this?"
Dou Sprout had already taken off his clothes. He was wearing red underpants and carrying a bag. He put the clothes he took off into the waterproof bag and tied it tightly. Hearing from the boss that the duck had trouble walking, Dou Sprout tugged on the rope and felt strange.
,
It's just that this duck seems to be wobbling when walking, and it can't walk straight.
Brother Yu took a headlamp to shine and said in a low voice: "You should still be acclimatized. It will be fine in a while."
"Let's go, let's go quickly." Dou Sprouts pulled the rope and dragged the duck to the pond.
As soon as he saw the pond, the duck immediately fluttered his wings and jumped in. Then he plunged into the water with a fierce thrust, and the bean sprouts held on to the rope tightly.
After packing the box, he looked at the small pond for two minutes and whispered, "Let's go."
Dou Sprout took several deep breaths in succession, then led the duck and jumped into the pond with a plop.
"Plop, plop," they all knew how to swim, and several people followed Dou Sprout into the water one after another.
I was the last one to enter the water. I didn't know if I heard the sound of diving. I looked back and suddenly saw the hut where the ranger Lao Hu lived. At this time, there was a weak candle light.
I was afraid that Lao Hu would suddenly open the door and come out and see me.
I gritted my teeth and jumped into the small pond with a pop.
