Chapter 87: Twists and turns

"Anyway, my duck arrived at your house." Listening to the villagers' discussions, Xie couldn't hold it on his face, and just wanted to get the duck in his hands and go home quickly.

"You have this time to talk to me, why don't you go and look for it on the riverbank, and maybe find three or two. At night, foxes, snakes, and wolves all come out, and they won't leave a single hair for you! Du Mei waved his hand impatiently.

"On the river beach, I've already looked for it, but there's nothing!" Xie Shi shook his dirty clothes and said angrily.

"Then I can't help it." Du Mei rolled her eyes and prepared to go inside.

"Xiuxiu, oops, why do you stink so much!" Sanjin went home, and when he saw that dinner had not yet arrived, he followed the sound to find it.

"It's all your good niece, she took our ducks away!" When Xie saw Sanjin, he let Diao cry.

"Third uncle, it was Du Xing who tried to steal my duck today, but he didn't steal it, but he couldn't find his duck, but the third aunt didn't come to me to make trouble." Seeing that Sanjin was coming, Du Mei had to stop to explain. She, the third uncle, is a good person, but her ears are soft and she loves to listen to his wife.

"It's all the ducks you let the vicious dog bite me and want to occupy my house!" Du Xing followed, and she was determined, bound to make this troubled water even more muddy.

"Look, because you usually protect her, this is a white-eyed wolf!" Xie Shi cast an approving look at Du Xing and continued to rub the fire in front of Sanjin.

"Meizi, otherwise, you let your third aunt go in and have a look, there are more than 100 ducks of yours, and there are a few of them." Sanjin was disturbed by the Xie family, so he was cheeky to discuss with Du Mei.

"Third uncle, we really didn't bring your ducks back, my ducks have a total of 138." Xu was sitting in the house, and when she saw that the three-room couple and her daughter were coming to ask for ducks, she was afraid that Du Mei would suffer a loss, so she hurried out.

"It's easy to do if you have a number, and the extra one is mine." Xie's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but rejoice in his heart.

"Yes, Du Mei, let her count!" Onlookers heckled.

"138, who is okay with the number of days. I don't know, but it's really wrapped. The meal was finished in the cold wind, but the villagers who watched the excitement did not disperse, still pointing and muttering.

"My house put ducks a few days ago, and there was one less." A woman complained to the people around her, looking at this posture, if Du Mei's family really had more ducks, there would have to be a robbery.

Xu Shi said all the duck counts, and if Du Mei said that he didn't let him count, he would inevitably be suspicious of weakness.

"Okay, third uncle, please count it yourself." Du Mei didn't believe in the Xie family, but this little thing was not good to trouble the Yin family.

"I'll count." Xie Shi took a step forward.

"Then don't count, let's go through the trouble." Where did Du Mei not know the little Jiujiu in Xie's heart.

"Your third uncle is a showman, how can you do such a pickled thing as counting ducks!" Xie raised his voice.

"Copper stinks, copper stinks, money still stinks, but I haven't seen any wealthy people who don't count money." Du Mei laughed contemptuously.

"You dead girl, a sharp mouth, like a knife, I won't count it, let Du Xing count, it's okay." Xie pretended to compromise, but in fact, their mother and daughter were virtuous.

"I'm afraid that Du Xing will come in, the black girl can't hold it, she really provoked it today." Du Mei touched the black girl's head, and the black girl snorted very cooperatively.

Du Xing's body shook involuntarily and gave way to the side.

"I'll come, I'll come." Sanjin looked at his wife and daughter, and then looked at Du Mei who was cross-legged, the two sides were deadlocked, and he had no choice but to speak.

Du Mei opened the courtyard door and only let Sanjin in. The onlookers hulala,

Let's look inside the wall together.

After the count, 138 is not much, and one is not less.

At this time, the onlookers all blew up: "Oh, it's really good." ”

"Don't you see, her big white duck is like a head, who has ever raised this." A man was amazed.

"It's just that I've never had a white duck in my life!" Another old woman chimed in.

Xie Shi looked at the count of 138, and there was no one behind him, and he was dumbfounded.

"Impossible, how can it be so coincidental!" Xie Shi was so angry that he shook the door, eager to go in and count it again.

"I saw that your ducks were so frightened by me that they swam into the lake! How can it still be 138, there must be my family! In order to please the duck, the angry Du Xing said everything without choosing his words.

"Oh......" The onlookers made a unanimous and suddenly realized voice.

"Little Ancestor, what nonsense are you talking about?" Xie Shi hurriedly covered Du Xing's mouth, but was slapped off by her.

"I just scared her duck, how about it!" Du Xing stiffened his neck, looking like a broken jar and a broken jar, staring at the lively crowd.

The villagers pouted, who had a verbal fight with a child, but in their hearts, they looked down on the Xie family.

Du Mei felt funny in her heart, why is this Du Xing so thick-skinned at such a young age, and the third aunt also doesn't want to lose face. Then she will fulfill them and lose face a little more.

"You have to say that, I have a way here." Du Mei laughed.

"What's the solution?" Xie Shi looked at Du Mei's smile, and a chill inexplicably rose in his heart. It's like a hunter has dug a trap and is just waiting for the prey to jump in on its own.

"Give you a cup of tea, if you can summon the ducks away, as many as you want!" Du Mei said confidently.

"Meizi, this can't be helped!" Xu grabbed Du Mei's hand, feeling apprehensive.

"It's okay, mother, the duck won't go with her." Du Gui Lala pulled the corner of Xu's clothes and whispered.

"Is this Dumei Haikou too exaggerated?" A woman said worriedly.

"How can it, if you don't have diamonds, you won't do porcelain work, just wait and see what happens." The onlookers were even more interested, and they stretched their heads out to look at it one by one.

"What you said, don't go back!" Xie Shi was excited, and his voice trembled. The temptation was too great, and it covered up the uneasiness in her heart.

"Go, get the bowl!" Xie Shi turned around and urged Du Xing.

"Knock knock" The anxious Xie knocked on the basin.

The ducks were scattered in the yard, some turned their necks to pick their feathers, some pecked each other, and some simply nested on the ground, putting their heads under their wings and pretending to sleep, but they didn't follow the sound to Xie Shi.

Du Xing saw that the duck didn't move at all, so she was so anxious that she grabbed the basin and knocked it: "On the river beach, that's how I knocked, and more than a dozen followed me." ”

In the middle of the night, the big white quacked and staggered back to the duck shed, and the other ducks saw it and called their friends away. The mother and daughter made a fuss for a long time, and the duck actually went back to his nest, and his face was really beaten.

Sanjin listened to the words of the mother and daughter, and also figured out what was going on. He suddenly felt disgraced, let the villagers see the jokes, and in front of the Dumei sisters, he felt even more sorry for the deceased second brother.

"Don't knock, it's better to look for it on the river beach!" Sanjin looked at the unwilling Xie family, turned around and hurried away.

"Wait for me!" Xie Shi heard Sanjin's anger and hurriedly trotted to follow.

Du Xing snorted and left. She thought to herself

I don't understand, why doesn't she knock at this time?

After watching the excitement, the onlookers also dispersed in a hurry and went back to their homes.

"Meizi, what's going on?" Xu Shi looked surprised.

"Du Xing was able to lure the duck away because the duck was frightened. At this time, they are well fed and drunk, and if there is no big white, even I will not be able to call them away. Du Mei smiled narrowly.

"You girl, make me worry in vain." Xu Shi smiled and nodded Du Mei's forehead.

"Hee-hee, mother, we already knew." The three small ones came up with a smile.

"It's a pity, your third uncle, a person who wants so much face, has lost face today." Xu shook his head.

"Now, take the lamp with you, and you can catch a few of them." Du Mei said as he looked at the night outside the door.

Sure enough, the Sanfang family worked hard for a long time, and finally caught five. I don't know where the others have gone, or they have been eaten by foxes and snakes.

The weather is getting better day by day, the rape flowers are gone, the tender pods are formed, and the green wheat mangs of the wheat are like a small comb, shaking and shaking comfortably in the warm wind.

The ducks of Du Mei's family eat fish and shrimp on the river beach every day. The eyes are round and bright, and the feathers are waxed, reflecting the verdant light in the sun.

Her ducks look better than any duck in Dujiagou, and everyone who sees her ducks can't help but stand and look twice.

Envy is envy, because Sanfang is so ugly, people who want bad thoughts dare not come blatantly.

Du Mei also has his own troubles, these ducks grow well, yes, but they have a big appetite, they are placed on the river beach during the day, and if they do not add food at night, or if they do not add food, or if they do not add food, they will cry in unison, which can wake people up.

Seeing that the grain in the barn is getting less and less, the old man's bean dregs are not enough to eat, the wheat in the field is filling, and there is still some time before the harvest is ripe.

At this time, it is a green and yellow crop. Those who are rich in the village can still manage their stomachs, and those who are in poor conditions can only eat one meal a day.

The price of food in the town has risen by 30%, and the mother alone embroiders some silk purses, and cannot buy ducks for a meal. Du Mei counted the silver coins in the corner, but it was more than three hundred yuan, which was really useless.

Du Mei thinks about it day and night, and even dreams of looking for duck food. She has been a little angry in the past few days, and the corner of her mouth has been broken.

Early that morning, something happened that made her even more anxious.

"Sister, come quickly!" Du Ying's voice was a little flustered.

"What's wrong?" Du Mei was making breakfast and hurriedly walked up to her.

Looking at Du Ying's fingers, there were seven or eight ducks in the duck shed, nesting with their heads on their heads. At this time, the ducks would have been arguing for a long time in order to go to the river beach, but today it is abnormal.

Du Mei put all the ducks in the yard, and the seven or eight were still lazy. Du Mei went in and looked at them, and they were actually thin, yellow-green, very different from normal ducks.

It goes without saying that these ducks are sick. What disease do you have? Is there any medicine to take? Is it contagious? Du Mei was completely unaware and panicked.

Xu also came to see it, but she hadn't seen it either, so she couldn't say why.

Du Mei thought about it and felt that it was better to go to the Fang family to take a look, her mother-in-law Qiao Po was over sixty years old, and she should always have some knowledge.

Du Mei went to Fang's house and pounced, and Fang accompanied Qiao Po to her daughter's house. Du Mei was in a hurry, so she just walked all the way with her head bored, but unexpectedly bumped into a person's back. 2k reading web
