Chapter 101: Watermelon and Duck
Wang Bi'an went down the mountain, crossed the road along the river, came to the river with the boat tethered, got off the beach, got on the boat, untied the rope, sat at the stern of the boat, and rowed.
The gentle breeze on the river made Wang Bi'an feel extremely "freehand" (local vernacular, very refreshing), greedy for this coolness, stopped the oars for a while, and let the boat float slowly in the center of the river.
Suddenly, Wang Bi'an heard a "quack" cry in his ears.
Wang Bi'an was stunned for a moment, and then there were two more "quack" cries - this sound was absolutely not mistaken.
It's a duck.
No one believed that Wang Bi'an once kept a duck as a pet.
It was a fluffy duckling that she bought when she followed Chen Wei to the vegetable market to buy vegetables.
When he got home, Wang Lu smiled when he saw it, he didn't buy less ducks when he was a child, but he never fed them, and he died after three or four days a week.
Wang Lu didn't preach to Wang Bi'an about this, and it was better for him to experience it by himself than to be nagged by his parents.
Who would have thought that the little duck was actually fed by Wang Bi'an.
When he grew up, people took cats and dogs for a walk in the community, but Wang Bi'an swayed behind his buttocks and followed a duck that had just shed its yellow hair.
It's just that, because it's been kept at home, the duck can't swim.
Wang Bian once put it in a bucket, but the duck actually sank down, and Wang Bian hurriedly fished it out.
The duck, which could not swim, froze to death during the first snow of the year.
Wang Bi'an also cried his nose.
Hearing the familiar sound of a duck, Wang Bi'an immediately thought of a duck egg.
Since the chickens were eaten by the zombies who sneaked up the mountain, the family missed scrambled eggs, poached eggs, boiled eggs, tea eggs, egg drop soup, and egg custard......
Chen Wei even muttered from time to time: "Wang Bian is growing his body, this is lacking protein, what can I do?" ”
Wang Lu persuaded next to him: "It's the same with eating soybeans, soybeans also have protein in them." ”
"Can this be the same?!" Chen Wei is on Baiwang Road.
Wang Bi'an also rolled his eyes beside him, that is, can this be the same? Soybeans, how can they be better than eggs?
But this is not in a hurry. Chen Wei just nagged a few words, and he couldn't force Wang Luman to find ** in the zombie pile for the sake of greed. The last time I could find a flock of chickens, it was a blind cat touching a dead mouse, in this town, where can I find another flock of chickens, even if there was one, it would have been eaten by zombies a long time ago.
If you can catch the duck home, you will have duck eggs to eat!
Wang Bi'an pricked up his ears and listened carefully, and his eyes were also looking for them among the reeds by the river. The river is unobstructed, and ducks can only hide in the reeds.
Soon, Wang Bi'an heard a faint fluttering sound from the reeds on his left.
He paddled softly, approaching the reeds.
This reed bush is quite dense, and the river is quite deep, Wang Bian did not dare to go into the water to look for it in the reeds.
I had to stand on a small boat and search carefully.
After searching for a long time, but not seeing the shadow of the duck, Wang Bian lost his patience, picked up the oars, and poked at the reeds.
This trick had an effect, and in the sound of "quack", Wang Bi'an saw a gray shadow fluttering in the depths of the reeds.
On the banks of this reed bush is a high stone embankment, and the ducks can only escape against the embankment.
Wang Bi'an picked up the oars, and in the middle of the river, followed by the ducks in the reeds, and went up.
From time to time, with an oar, he poked in the reeds, and shouted loudly in his mouth, scaring the ducks away.
Not far ahead, the reeds came to an end.
Finally, with a "plop", the duck jumped out of the reeds and plunged into the river.
Dizzy, he actually crashed straight into the boat rowed by Wang Bi'an.
Wang Bian was overjoyed, threw the oar into the cabin, threw himself to the side of the boat, stretched out his arms, and went to catch the duck that was still fluttering in the river.
Wang Bi'an's fingers had already touched the slippery feathers on the duck's back, and the duck was startled, and when he turned around, his flat beak pecked the back of Wang Bi'an's hand.
Alas, Wang Bi'an screamed and subconsciously retracted his hand.
The duck has a flat beak, this peck is not ruthless, Wang Bi'an saw that there was not even a red mark on the back of his hand.
But after such a delay, the duck took the opportunity to swim away from the boat.
Wang Bi'an's unwilling duck flew away - swam away.
Sit back at the stern, pick up the oars, and catch up with you.
Wang Bi'an soon discovered that it was a foolish idea to drive the ducks out of the reeds into the river, and in the water the ducks were much more nimble than his own boat. ,
I paddled so hard that I finally approached the duck, and it only had to turn around slightly to change direction.
And he had to scramble for a while to realign the bow of the boat and follow behind the duck's butt.
After all, Wang Bian couldn't compare to the boat boss who had accumulated years, and after rowing for a while, he felt that both arms were sore.
What's angry is that the duck saw that he didn't catch up, so he slowed down, and even tied up a fierce son in the river to catch small fish and shrimp to eat.
provoked Wang Bi'an to be angry, rolled up his sleeves, and slashed again.
One person, one boat, one duck, stop and walk, go up the river, and row farther and farther.
Wang Bi'an persevered behind the duck's buttocks, and gradually found that the boat he was rowing was getting slower and slower, and even if he gritted his teeth and paddled hard, the boat did not become much faster.
As soon as Wang Bi'an raised his eyes, he saw that in the river in front of him, there was a small bump, and the river rushed down from the upstream, and after crossing the bump hidden under the river, it immediately became turbulent, forming a small torrent, which was rushing down in a hurry.
The duck didn't care about this rapids at all, twisted his buttocks, flicked his anthurium, and crossed over.
Wang Bi'an was dumbfounded, as soon as he stopped the oars, the torrent would rush the boat backwards again and again, and even the bow of the boat would tilt over, but even if he gritted his teeth and rowed hard, he couldn't get over the underwater hurdle - the boat would run aground!
The ducks that crossed the rapids did not stop, quacking, and went all the way up the river, and soon became a small dot, and then disappeared into the river.
Busy in vain!
Angry, Wang Bi'an smashed the oar in his hand into the water, making a splash, and splashing his clothes wet.
After being angry for a long time, Wang Bi'an found that the boat, which had lost its forward momentum, was washed away by the torrent to the beach on the shore.
Wang Bi'an straightened up in the middle of the boat and saw that he had actually arrived in a strange place.
On both sides of the bank are farmland, and on the left, in the distance, there is a forest, and in the middle of the forest, there are faintly exposed roof tiles, and there seem to be several houses.
Wang Bi'an was a little flustered, but immediately calmed down, there is no fork in the river, and after a while, as long as he turns back, he can go home with the river.
The return trip is downstream, and you can save a lot of effort.
Wang Bi'an turned the bow of the boat in frustration and prepared to go home.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and on a piece of sand close to the shore, it was a watermelon.
I just wanted to find watermelon to eat, so I went down the mountain.
Wang Bi'an looked up at the sky, it was still early, and before it was time for lunch, he just went ashore to eat a watermelon, and it was too late to go home.
Having made up his mind, Wang Bi'an raised his oars, rowed to the shore in a few strokes, and tied the boat cable to a small tree by the river.
Straightened up, looked around for a while, and confirmed that there were no zombies in the surrounding fields, Wang Bian jumped off the boat, dripping the water on the shoal, and walked towards the watermelon field.
