Chapter 769
When digging a water hole, chickens can't swim, so they can only use this kind of trained water duck. Training this thing is like the partridge woman training the owl, and Wang Mopan training the golden pig. The training methods are all secrets that are not passed down.
As for why it is called the Echo Duck, there are two theories.
Friends who have raised this thing at home should know that there is no echo to the quacking of ducks, even if it is placed in a house or a cave.
Foreign professionals have done research in laboratories, and finally concluded that ducks' calls are not without echoes, but become a kind of echo overlap that only the ducks themselves can hear.
Another explanation is more mysterious. For example, it is written in the ancient "Qin Jing" that "the duck sings and sings, and the duck sings by itself."
The ancients believed that some birds have complete internal organs, and the internal organs correspond to the three souls and seven souls. The three souls and seven souls are Feiguang, Shuangling, and Youjing (heaven soul, earth soul, and human soul). The seven souls refer to Smelly lungs, removing filth, non-toxic, swallowing thieves, sparrow yin, lying arrows, and corpse dogs.
It is said that because the water duck lacks the bird yin among the seven souls, it can see supernatural things such as gods and ghosts, and dig water holes to ward off evil spirits.
Anyway, this thing is worth 100,000 yuan, which is definitely not simple. In comparison, the current reachable duck is much weaker.
....
At 9:30 pm, final preparations before departure.
The diving suits were originally prepared per person, but because Lao Tian suddenly stole one pair, one is missing now. He thought about it and said, "Old Li, why don't you stay and look after the house? There must always be someone to take care of you."
Li Tiecheng shook his head repeatedly and said directly: "Wang Boss, I disagree. As a native of Yongzhou, why don't I want to figure out the mystery of Guiziling? You'd better change someone else."
He frowned and looked at us one by one, finally focusing on Xiaoxuan.
Xiaoxuan was not happy and said hurriedly: "I won't stay. There is no need to look after the house. We just need to lock the door." Xiaoxuan glanced at me intentionally or unintentionally, "By the way, I have been swimming since elementary school and my water skills are not bad."
I said don't look at me, I must go.
"Stop fighting!"
At this time, Douyazai said loudly: "If you want to go, you can go. One more person will take care of you. I have done it last time, so I don't need to bring a gas cylinder this time!"
"No, it's too dangerous. Otherwise, if you wait for two days, I'll go out to do something else," he said, shaking his head.
"You really don't need to hold your head!"
Douyazai patted his chest and said confidently: "I won't joke with my life. Last time I was delayed watching for a while. It will be fine without a gas cylinder this time. I'm 100% sure."
After a few minutes of stalemate, Dou Sprout finally convinced the boss.
After twelve o'clock that night, a group of us carried the box to the pond. The box contained a dry diving suit, a mask and a small gas cylinder.
After putting on my equipment, checking my backpack and headlamp, I looked at the sparkling water under the moonlight. I was a little nervous. This was my first time going into a cave. Who knew what was going on down there.
Xiaoxuan grabbed my hand and comforted me in a low voice: "Don't be nervous, it's just like swimming in a swimming pool."
There was a string wrapped around the duck's neck. When he handed the string to Dou Sprout, he suddenly realized something was wrong.
"Why...why does this duck walk like this?"
Bean Sprout had already taken off his clothes. He was wearing red underpants and carrying a bag. He put the clothes he took off into the waterproof bag and tied it tightly. Hearing from the boss that the duck had trouble walking, Dou Sprout tugged on the rope and felt strange. ,
It's this duck that looks wobbly when walking and can't walk straight.
Brother Yu took a headlamp to shine and said in a low voice: "It should still be acclimatized, it will be fine in a while."
"Let's go, let's go." Dou Sprouts pulled the rope and dragged the duck to the pond.
As soon as he saw the pond, the duck immediately fluttered his wings and jumped in. Then he plunged into the water with a fierce thrust, and Bean Sprout held on to the rope tightly.
After packing the box, he looked at the small pond for two minutes and whispered, "Let's go."
Dou Sprout took several deep breaths in succession, then led the duck and jumped into the pond with a plop.
"Plop, plop," they all knew how to swim, and several people followed Dou Sprout into the water one after another.
I was the last one to enter the water. I didn't know if I heard the sound of diving. I looked back and suddenly saw the hut where the ranger Lao Hu lived. At this time, there was a faint candle light.
I was afraid that Lao Hu would suddenly open the door and come out and see me.
I gritted my teeth and jumped into the small pond with a pop.
