At three o'clock in the afternoon, in Qiandaohu Town, in front of a snack bar.
There was a lot of traffic around, and I saw a tall middle-aged man from a distance. The man was holding a cigarette in his mouth and wearing sunglasses. There was a cage at his feet, and the outside of the cage was covered with a layer of black cloth.
I walked over and whispered: "The northern line, with its high mountains and lofty mountains that are beautiful through the ages?"
The next second, the man grinned and continued: "In the south, mountains and rivers flow eastward."
"Xiang Yunfeng."
"Yang Denghua."
This is the secret code we agreed on to connect. After shaking hands, I asked where is the duck?
He kicked the cage lightly, and immediately there was a "quacking" sound.
The call is familiar to me, it's the Echo Duck.
The man handed me a piece of paper with a name and a bank card number on it.
"Put five hundred thousand on this card. We'll meet here in a month and I'll get it back. Be careful. If something goes wrong with the duck during this period, you will have to pay Luoyang as much as they want."
He pointed to the cage on the ground: "Don't worry about the food. It will find food for itself under the water, but remember that at six o'clock in the morning and five o'clock in the evening, you have to pour two taels of good wine for it. , otherwise it will get angry and stop working.”
After saying this, the man blended into the crowd and never asked us what we were doing with the duck.
I rubbed my hands and slowly lifted a corner of the black cloth.
"Gah! Gah! Gah!"
"Damn, old friend, you are in such good spirits. Stop screaming. Do you believe me when you ask me to steam you?"
The duck immediately shut up and flapped its wings at me in the cage, seemingly disgusted with the cage that restricted its freedom.
The appearance of Echo Duck has not changed much. It has a red rope around its neck. Its hair is spotless and shiny. Its eyes are as small as two black sesame seeds. If it could be two sizes smaller, it would look a bit like the one called Kodak. duck pet.
I heard that the Kodak Duck is quite expensive, but compared to its price, it is astronomical. This thing is amazing. I still remember clearly that it swallowed a thousand-year-old ghost snake in one gulp and it didn't do anything. It was so angry that it hurt itself and the snake jumped up and down.
Scientists say that ducks have small brains and their memory can only last nine months. This is obviously not the case for Echo Duck. It must remember who I am. If the average lifespan of a duck is ten years, then Echo Duck is about four and a half years old, which is right. In its prime, its abilities in all aspects are at their peak.
Xiaoxuan told me to remember to check if her cat was hungry. When I returned to the hotel room with the duck cage, I saw the black cat lying listlessly in the cage. There were two locks outside the cage.
This black cat is disobedient and is kept in a cage just to tame its wild nature.
I had been bitten before, so I was very careful when changing the water for fear of being accidentally scratched by this cat.
"I'm so annoyed, can you stop screaming? You didn't see me working!"
When changing the cat's food, the ducks quacked and I was upset.
"You want to come out?"
"Then we've agreed, let you out. You can't bark anymore, you can't run out, and you can't poop anywhere. Can you do the above three things?"
Echo Duck glared at me from across the cage, almost shaking his head like that.
I opened the cage, and the reanimated duck immediately shook its head and walked out, but it stopped calling. It spread its wings and circled around the room like a streetwalker.
Suddenly, the Echo Duck saw the black cat locked in the cage. Before I could react, it jumped directly onto the cat cage and stuck its butt down. The next second, there was a puddle on the black cat's head. Creamy duck shit.
The black cat immediately became furious and its eyes were red! Meow meow! Scratching the cage like crazy! It looked as fierce as an angry trumpet tiger.
Echo Duck jumped down from the cage and quacked twice.
Seeing this scene, I was both confused and confused. What are these?
Before she died, the old woman said that this cat breed was called the Wuheixuan Cat, and that it could go out at night and travel between the Yin and Yang realms. Let’s not talk about whether the old woman’s words were exaggerated, but this cat was definitely not an ordinary house cat. It had human nature, and was nominally controlled by Xiaoxuan We adopted it, but it usually doesn’t listen to Xiaoxuan at all. We have to be careful about being scratched by it even when we feed it.
Such a cat would definitely not accept being slapped on the head by Echo Duck.
I guess if the cat was let out, it would definitely fight with the ducks and the ground would be covered with feathers.
Echo Duck is worth over a million and is rented, so nothing can happen to him, so I dare not let Black Cat out of the cage no matter what.
Across the cage, the black cat stared at the Echo Duck and kept growling, making strange noises from its mouth.
The Echo Duck was standing in front of the cage, with his head held high, as if he was a master.
Next, the duck followed me wherever I went. It seemed to be in an abnormal mood and always pecked my heels with its beak. I looked at the time and immediately understood what was going on.
Pour two ounces of white wine into the small bowl, and the duck immediately lowered his head and started drinking.
After drinking the wine, it instantly became obedient and lay down on the sofa obediently, tucking its head under its wings and remaining motionless.
I thought to myself: "Even if this thing is not used for treasure hunting, it would be good to just keep it as a pet."
Calculating the time, it was time for Dou Sprout to come back. I asked him to buy some daily necessities and put them on our boat in the afternoon. Maybe this kid went somewhere to play again.
After taking a shower, I didn't expect that little devil to call me again. I have to say that this guy is really thick-skinned.
"Hello? You XXX! Are you annoyed? I said I won't sell it!" I swore directly.
Instead of being angry, the other party spoke calmly on the phone in Mandarin with a heavy accent: "Mr. Xiang, I am Kunihiko Yoshioka of Chunfeng Hall. I still want to try my best to fight for it. I know that you have some concerns about my identity. I am disgusted, so I can make a verbal promise to Mr. Xiang here. I will hold these iron coins privately for twenty years. After twenty years, I will donate them to your country's museum free of charge. What do you think? ?”
This man claimed to be Kunihiko Yoshiji, and I almost had a hard time hearing it. Otherwise, the old man often said, "Nice ideas, evil ideas." This little devil has so many evil ideas. Let's not talk about whether he keeps his promise or not. Twenty years later, Who can guarantee things? Maybe I will die in some ancient tomb next year.
I politely replied: "Dear Mr. Ji Er, you are destined to be together. This batch of precious iron money will definitely not flow abroad. Their future buyers must be domestic people. If you can get it from the future buyers, If you buy this batch of goods, the person named Xiang will never meddle in your own business."
"Well, Mr. Xiang, I understand what you mean, but I still want to say a few words of my opinion."
"That war era has already passed by our ancestors. We are all collectors. Can't we put aside our prejudices and make friends?"
"cannot."
What I said was categorical.
There was silence on the other end for two minutes, and then hung up the phone after saying goodbye.
