The years when Hu Ya came here started in 2002, when I was 10 years old and in the second grade. The duck, not the duck, is not a duck, it is a thin duck from other places, about a pound of weight is sent by a large truck, and then from the field to eat the rice grains dropped by the autumn harvest to grow up, until the end of the maturity period of the second rice crop.

When we plant rice in the spring, there will be many judges from other places who come to work, earning about 80 yuan a day, and we will call them the old nephews of the north, and also call them barbarians. If you can distinguish from the call of the duck, it is also slightly narrow compared with the local duck vocal range, for this four-month-old duck, our people also call it aunt duck, that is, the duck that has just grown, of course, the merchant will not wait for these ducks to complete mating and hatch the second batch before returning. Besides, it is easy for the adult ducks to be kept in the field and looked after, as long as they are camped by the pond, and the ducks will not run far because they are basically out of the water. However, this is also the happiest thing for the whole village, people do not thank these scavengers or pull poop into the fields to make fertilizer, on the contrary, it is difficult to say that pie is actually falling from the sky. So which farmer did these ducks come from? Or a duck of foreign trade subsidized by the state? People are becoming more and more concerned. I didn't bother to ask like the grown-ups, but it was not a small one, because there were several big trucks branching, and all of them were fully loaded.

In addition to the sound of ducks, passers-by have never seen it, they will be because of the number, countless, do not believe their eyes, because compared with the whole village's own ducks combined, less than one-tenth, this kind of much, is too much people do not know how many times to wipe saliva to describe, through the air can smell the smell of ducks, really make the greedy feel suspicious, some people will know that the consultant will say to them: will you eat it yourself?

In the beginning, we became overseers, watching how the duck keeper lived, he was in a small store in our team, selling snacks and the like, and sometimes buying instant noodles and biscuits! Ah, water! It is said that there are also spicy strips, which are used to make their own dry food, and sometimes they are seen sitting on the ridge of the pond to eat, sitting on the ridge of the field, sitting in the shed and eating in the clouds...... In this way, day after day, my eyes are tired. Anyway, they can't leave the ducks in their hands, and they carry with them the long bamboo sticks that put the ducks, and the bamboo sticks are tied with shopping bags to scare the ducks, don't you say, rural people will do this, I don't know if they learned it from us or have this instinct.

However, not to mention that the duck keeper had eaten all the snacks in the shop, even the ducks had eaten all the rice, even the insects in the grass had dug three feet into the ground, the black mud had been covered with maple leaves, and the duck feathers in the pond were piled up like mountains and could not make waves. Faced with an ecological crisis, they had to put their ducks farther away, and they must not eat the grass around the nest. From the 100-meter race to the marathon, such a toss back and forth, the ducks are injured, the dead are dead, and the vitality is greatly damaged. When the people in the village go to their own fields to see, they will also pick it up and eat, the people who have eaten it say that the meat is hard, chewy, it is simply the native duck in the duck, it is the original duck that sucks the fingers, this word spreads, one life two, two gives birth to three, one passes ten to pass hundreds, there are many people who go to their own fields to see, sometimes lucky words can see one or two outdated, catch and eat together, from picking up and eating to rushing to eat, good things do not go out and bad things go thousands of miles, some people come far and wide to learn from the experience, the wine talk Hu duck. Even if there are honest people in the village, they can't resist sending them to the door; Those who did not keep ducks became ducks; Even people who work outside the home, when they are concerned about the situation at home, will answer on the phone: What is eaten at home, don't worry!

Later, when the people who let the ducks also knew about it, and could check it out from other people's circles, the people in the village would also talk about it, saying that people should not be content, and they should not be too clear. So as soon as that autumn passed, half of the ducks were lost when they were loaded into the big truck, and it was almost immediately apparent.

After that autumn, the duck herders seldom came to our village, and then after three years there were no beekeepers, but who was interested in that, they hadn't tasted the killing for a long time.
