Chapter 27

"I felt it the first time he came."

"I thought he was a teacher, or someone who does technical work; today I found out he's a farmer, which is really surprising."

Xu Huirong nodded.

"You saw it the first time he came?"

"So you are very concerned about him; you said I took a fancy to him, I think you are the one who took a fancy to him, right?"

"No wonder every time he comes to buy wine, you personally entertain him; you want to take the opportunity to talk to him more, right?"

"Did I catch you?"

Chen Xueru caught Xu Huirong's slip of the tongue and teased her.

At the same time.

There was a trace of crisis in her heart.

She and Xu Huirong are good sisters, but also competitors.

Always wanting to suppress the other.

What if Xu Huirong also took a fancy to Wan Ping'an?

Two women fighting for a husband?

Wan Ping'an, who left the small tavern, headed straight for the Sihe Academy; just after walking a dozen steps, he stopped again.

"Forgot."

"Ate the last duck yesterday."

"Go catch a few more ducks."

Wan Ping'an turned around and headed straight for the outskirts.

Outskirts.

Beside the small river.

Jia Dongxu didn't listen to the advice and walked into the dense water grass by the small river.

"Wan Ping'an, you just wait, I will definitely catch wild ducks, and I must catch more than you, let's see what else you have to be proud of?"

Jia Dongxu looked at the large patch of water grass; where are the wild ducks?

Whoosh!

Not far in front of him, a wild duck flew up.

"I saw it."

"Then that must be the wild duck's nest."

Jia Dongxu ran over excitedly.

Soon.

He ran to the place where the wild duck flew up, prepared to pick up duck eggs, looked down for a circle, but didn't find the wild duck's nest, let alone duck eggs.

"How could there be none?"

"Did I find the wrong place?"

Jia Dongxu thought he had looked wrong.

Another wild duck flew up.

Jia Dongxu chased after it, but also gained nothing.

The people waiting by the river to see the joke were all laughing their heads off.

"Haha, another big fool came."

"He doesn't understand wild ducks at all; wild ducks, to protect their nests, will never take off near the nest, so there are no duck eggs where they take off."

The people by the river mocked and ridiculed.

Fortunately, Jia Dongxu couldn't hear it, otherwise, he would definitely be ashamed.

Ah!

Jia Dongxu let out a miserable scream.

His foot stepped into empty air, and he sank.

The large patch of water grass by the river is very dangerous; under the water grass, some are not solid ground, but silt; if you step on it, you will sink.

Jia Dongxu panicked; will he drown?

"I don't want to die, I'm still young, I haven't married a wife yet!"

Jia Dongxu struggled with all his might and called for help loudly.

Several wild ducks were scared away, but he had no heart to pay attention to the wild ducks now; he was scared to death, and no one came to save him.

Pfft!

Jia Dongxu fell down and ate dirt.

"Ptooey, so smelly!"

"Ugh, it's wild duck feces!"

Jia Dongxu retched.

After struggling, the exhausted Jia Dongxu finally crawled to a safe area.

He lay on his back on the ground, gasping for air.

"Not catching them anymore."

"Even if I'm beaten to death, I won't catch them anymore."

"This broken place is too dangerous, it almost killed me."

Jia Dongxu was scared.

After recovering some strength, he walked directly toward the shore.

"Young man, didn't catch any wild ducks?"

"Don't listen to the old man's words, you'll suffer, suffered, didn't you?"

The old man who had just advised Jia Dongxu looked at him quietly.

Hmph!

Jia Dongxu snorted coldly and turned to leave.

"Look, he's barefoot on his left foot, he lost his shoe."

"Hahaha, too funny, didn't catch any wild ducks, but lost a shoe instead, really trying to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice!"

The crowd burst into laughter.

Jia Dongxu's face turned red, and he limped away quickly.

It wasn't that he was lame, it was that he lost the shoe on his left foot, and the sole of his foot was in direct contact with the ground; as long as it was slightly uneven, it hurt his left foot.

An hour after Jia Dongxu left, Wan Ping'an arrived.

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

"How many are you planning to catch today?"

"How about selling us some?"

As soon as Wan Ping'an arrived, the crowd immediately surrounded him.

Every time he came, it took no more than ten minutes, and he could catch two or three wild ducks, leaving a deep impression on everyone; it was hard for them to forget him.

Wan Ping'an got rid of the crowd and came into the water grass.

Farming induction!

Soon.

He locked onto a group of wild ducks.

Choosing the fattest one, he walked directly over.

Quack!

The duck was startled and flew away.

Wan Ping'an flicked a small stone, and the wild duck was knocked unconscious.

By the way, he harvested five duck eggs.

"Eh, why is there a shoe?"

Wan Ping'an saw a place where the water grass was messy, as if it had been artificially destroyed; a shoe floated up, and it looked like a new shoe.

He didn't pick it up.

He continued to catch wild ducks.
