Chapter 12

"Mom, don't worry, I'll catch more wild ducks than Wan Ping'an."

"By then, our family will eat meat every meal."

"If I catch a lot, I can even sell them for money; then everyone can buy a big house, the house we live in now is a bit too small."

Jia Dong was very excited.

It was as if he had already caught hundreds of wild ducks.

The front courtyard.

Yan Fugui's home.

"I really didn't expect Wan Ping'an to be so reckless as to beat Yi Zhonghai."

"There will be a good show to watch in the future; that old guy Yi Zhonghai is the most vengeful, he will definitely try every means and method to take revenge on Wan Ping'an."

Yan Fugui gloated.

He and Yi Zhonghai didn't get along; Yi Zhonghai being beaten made him happy, and he wished he could go up and kick him a few times himself.

"Head of the house, do you think we can go catch wild ducks?"

"Let Jiecheng go catch wild ducks after school."

The Third Aunt took a deep breath of the beer duck's fragrance.

It was too fragrant!

Irresistible!

"You'd better give up that idea as soon as possible."

"Are wild ducks that easy to catch?"

"If they were easy to catch, they would have been caught long ago; but think carefully, besides Wan Ping'an, which family can catch wild ducks often?"

Yan Fugui sighed.

The Third Aunt was silent for a moment and shook her head.

It seemed that only Wan Ping'an could catch wild ducks often; others, even if they could catch wild ducks, could only catch one or two occasionally.

"There's a trick to everything."

"Wan Ping'an must have his own trick for catching wild ducks; he doesn't say, so others don't know, and even if they go to catch them, it's just a stroke of luck."

"Furthermore, wild ducks live by the water; if you accidentally fall in, that's the end of you."

"You'd better give up that idea as soon as possible!"

Yan Fugui disapproved.

The success rate of catching wild ducks wasn't high, and there were risks; you could shoot them with a gun or an arrow, but did they have a gun?

Did they have a bow?

Neither.

Even if they did.

It would require excellent marksmanship and archery, which they also didn't have.

"Do you think we could ask Wan Ping'an to teach us how to catch wild ducks?"

The Third Aunt thought of another way.

"What kind of good thing are you thinking about?"

"That's Wan Ping'an's way of getting rich, how could he teach it to you?"

Yan Fugui was greedy, but also clear-headed.

The next morning.

Wan Ping'an set off.

As soon as he reached the middle courtyard, he ran into Jia Dong.

"Hey you, just wait, I'm going to catch ducks today too, and I'll definitely catch more than you."

Jia Dong looked at Wan Ping'an provocatively.

Wan Ping'an laughed.

The riverside was a dangerous area.

If you weren't careful and fell in, you wouldn't be coming back.

Wan Ping'an carried his steel fork and came to his six acres of poor land.

"The seeds rewarded by the system should be planted."

"Tomatoes, plant them!"

"Rice, provided by the system, should be able to be planted in dry fields, right?"

"Whatever, plant it!"

Wan Ping'an took out two portions of seeds and planted them both quickly.

"Hope they mature quickly!"

"Then I can get the system reward!"

He finished planting.

Wan Ping'an wiped the hot sweat from his forehead.

Farming is hard physical labor!

Both the rice and the tomatoes were planted.

Wan Ping'an was just waiting for the harvest.

He prepared to go home, but before leaving, he inspected his six acres of land again.

Poof!

The steel fork in Wan Ping'an's hand flew out.

A fat rat was pinned to the ground by his steel fork and was dead.

"I should have thought of this earlier; in the fields, pests and rodents are normal."

"Once the rice and tomatoes grow, the temptation will be even greater, and the situation will probably be even more serious."

"I have to think of a way; not just pests, but also man-made disasters, all must be prevented in advance, otherwise, the losses will be heavy."

Wan Ping'an carried the steel fork and headed straight for the small tavern.

He was used to it.

On the way back, he would buy some wine.

He wasn't an alcoholic, but he liked to drink; if he didn't drink a little, it felt like something was missing.

At this time.

Jia Dong arrived at the riverside, the place where Wan Ping'an caught wild ducks.

"Young man, are you here to catch wild ducks too?"

As soon as Jia Dong arrived at the riverside, an old man fishing, whose hair was already gray, turned his head, looked him up and down, and asked with a smile.

Many people turned their heads to look at Jia Dong.

"Yes, how did you know?"

Jia Dong was very surprised.

"Of course I know."

"There's a young man who is very capable; every time he makes a move, he can catch several wild ducks and never returns empty-handed."

"The news has spread; the wild ducks here are stupid and easy to catch, so many people come to catch them."

"Haha, they don't catch any wild ducks, but quite a few people fall into the river."

"I advise you to go back!"

"Wild ducks aren't easy to catch; don't end up not catching any wild ducks and falling into the river or a mud pit instead."

The old man advised Jia Dong.

Jia Dong frowned slightly; the person the old man was talking about, who could catch several wild ducks every time, must be Wan Ping'an; he had found the right place.

If others couldn't catch them, it was because they were stupid.

Jia Dong was very confident; he would definitely be able to catch wild ducks, and he would definitely catch more than Wan Ping'an.

He sneered and didn't listen to the old man's advice.

"You guys guess, how long will it take for him to fall in, ten minutes or half an hour?"

"I think he's just a blockhead; I estimate five minutes at most."
