night.

Xujiatun'er.

Accompanied by the sound of footsteps and the light of flashlights, Xu Dahai led hundreds of villagers to the river.

The night breeze is slightly cool.

"Quack quack quack~ quack quack~"

Originally there were many toads calling in the river, but as the crowd approached, the toads instantly shut up.

The night is long and the surroundings are quiet.

Xu Dahai asked everyone to calm down, patted Xiaodou Bao's shoulders and said:

"Tell me, Doubao, where did you drive the duck?"

Xiaodou Bao raised his right arm, quickly wiped away his tears with his sleeve, and pointed his finger: "It's in front, next to the big willow tree."

Xu Dahai knew that the willow tree was only a few dozen meters away. It was dark and he couldn't see it with a flashlight.

“The distance is quite close, so let’s separate right here!

Half of the people are going north, and the other half are going south! When we crossed a bridge and encountered a small river ditch, two people went out to look for it for two hours. If they couldn't find it, they came back and talked about it tomorrow. "

Deep in the wilderness, there is a night wind.

Xu Dahai shouted loudly for everyone to hear clearly. Everyone was united and responded continuously, full of momentum.

Soon, Master Xiaowen led some villagers to the north, and the light of flashlights gradually faded away along with the sound of footsteps.

Xu Dahai greeted:

"Let's go south! Xiaodoubao, just stay with me. Don't run around. It's so dark, so be careful of falling into the river."

"OK."

As the crowd walked, they shined the light of flashlights on the river. As the crowd gradually moved away, darkness returned to the surroundings.

The toad also opened its mouth.

The cry of "Quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack" reappeared.

About ten minutes later, they encountered a fork in the river. Father Xu Houtian and his second uncle used flashlights to break away from the crowd and search along the fork of the river.

Later, when encountering small ditches, river forks, etc., villagers kept coming into groups of two and separated.

More than an hour later.

The only people left around Xu Dahai were Xu Hu, Xiaodou Bao, Xu Yong, and Er Niu.

"Huzi, what time is it?"

Xu Dahai held a metal flashlight and kept shining it on the river - the river water was reflective and sparkling, and after watching it for a long time, he felt that he could not see clearly.

"It's past nine o'clock."

"Then... let's go to the other side of the river and look back. There are some forks in the river over there, and the ducks may be hiding there."

"Okay, there's a single-plank bridge ahead."

The river ahead is very narrow, and a tree placed on both sides of the river can allow the villagers to cross the river. Of course, the first time you walk on a single-plank bridge, you may be scared and worry about falling into the river.

But if you walk a lot, you will be able to walk quickly, and they quickly crossed the single-plank bridge.

Xiaodou Bao lowered his head and became silent. The hope in his heart was shattered little by little. He felt that he hadn't found the duck group for so long - the chance of finding it again was slim.

Sudden.

Xu Hu took a photo into a small ditch and shouted in surprise: "Look, is it a duck!?"

Everyone looked around quickly, and Xiaodou Bao was even more excited and trembling all over, his eyes widening in an instant.

The result - the water surface is reflective, white, and nothing.

"Where is the duck?"

"Oh, I saw it wrong. For a moment, I thought the white ones were duck feathers."

"You kid! Okay, keep walking."

Several people continued walking forward with flashlights on. After another ten minutes, Xu Hu shouted again:

"Look, duck!!"

"This is happening again? Huh? It's really a duck!"

"Haha, I finally found these silly ducks!"

I saw a group of ducks with their wings spread out in the grass beside a river ditch, lying there crowded together.

There are a few ducks who are greedy for the river water and float on the water, but they are also very close to the shore.

"Quick, quick! Found the duck!"

"Surround them up and don't let them escape again!"

"Now that I've found it, I can't run away no matter how much I want to."

The shouts attracted nearby villagers, and the flashlights around them gathered more and more light. Everyone was very happy that tonight's efforts were not in vain.

"Quack quack~ quack quack~"

The ducks were disturbed and many stood up and screamed.

Xu Dahai sent out a few more people and asked them to walk along the river banks on both sides with flashlights.

While walking and shouting, he notified other villagers to let everyone go home.

"Let's go, let's go back too!"

"Hey, hey, the duck went into the river."

"Take the dirt and throw it away."

"There are waxwood slivers in the north. Poke a few sticks back and blast them away quickly."

The happiest person must be Xiaodoubao. This kid is like a monkey, jumping and jumping, very active, and the smile on his face is bright.

Driving the ducks, we hurried home.

When everyone returned to Xujiatun, some villagers gathered in front of Xu Ercai's house, chattering.

After the duck entered the pen and closed the fence door, Ercai's daughter-in-law breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, it's quite late, everyone should go back and rest quickly!"

"Xiaohai, Huzi, you two brothers should go back too."

Mr. Xiaowen held a flashlight under his arm and said with a smile: "I'll go for a walk again to see if everyone is back. Don't leave anyone behind."

"I'll go with you."

"No, no, I'll just go around for a while. If they all come back, I'll go home later."

Xu Dahai nodded, feeling that what Master Xiaowen said made sense, so he stopped insisting on his idea.

It's already past ten o'clock at night.

pat~

After returning to the back room with Wang Xiuxiu and Xiao Tingzi, they closed the door tightly. Xu Dahai felt exhausted and sat down on the chair.

"Where did you find the duck?"

Wang Xiuxiu poured hot water into the basin, mixed it with some cold water, brought it into the house and asked him to wash his feet.

"I found it on the other side of the river on the way back. After talking about it, I gave up hope. Unexpectedly, Huzi discovered the duck."

Xu Dahai was relieved and his efforts were not in vain.

After washing their feet, the family of three quickly turned off the lights and went to bed. Now that the temperature has risen a lot, the big fat cat no longer crawls into bed, but instead lies on the bed, purring.

Orange Cat brand tractor! Officially launched!

time flies.

In the early morning, there was suddenly a muffled thunder sound outside the window, rumbling~

Xu Dahai was awakened from his sleep and shined a flashlight on the clock on the wall. It was a little past three-thirty.

"Hiss~"

Feeling a pressure coming from his bladder, he groaned slightly, but put on his coat, pulled on his shoes and pushed open the door.

Click.

Call ~

A gust of night wind carried a few raindrops and blew on his body. The coldness made Xu Dahai shiver.

The rain just started to fall, but it wasn't very heavy. Xu Dahai hurried to finish his meal, but when he ran into the house, it started to rain heavily.

"Wow, wow, wow~"

There were huge and dense raindrops, and the smashed cherry tree leaves made a chaotic sound. Occasionally, lightning flashed, and the yard was instantly illuminated.

"Oh, the whole yard has become a river."
