Chapter 253 Little Duck
When Xie Xinghua saw this scene, she was surprised and delighted: "Oh, when was this cultivated?"
"It's been a while. I've been free anyway. There are few people on this mountain, so Ziling and I have opened up some land to grow vegetables. It seems that the results are quite fruitful."
Su Yu responded softly, with a hint of pride in his eyes.
"That's right, you have a really smart brain."
Xie Xinghua admired sincerely.
Su Yu stood beside the ridge of the field, looking towards the village at the foot of the mountain, and sighed softly: "It's a pity that this place is too remote and life is very inconvenient."
Xie Xinghua looked around the surroundings. The mountains here were steep and not far away was the cemetery of Liushu Village. Except during festivals, few people came here. Even if they came to chop wood, they would find another way.
This kind of tranquility away from the hustle and bustle is indeed rare.
Just as the afterglow of the sun gently fell, dyeing the foot of Yunqiu Mountain with a light golden color, a smile as if a flash of inspiration suddenly bloomed on Xie Xinghua's face.
She turned around abruptly, her eyes gleaming with anticipation, and said anxiously to Su Yu beside her: "I remember that Changping once mentioned casually that the reason why the foot of our Yunqiu Mountain was chosen as the cemetery by our ancestors is because the feng shui here is excellent, with mountains and water in front, and it is said that it can protect the prosperity of our descendants!"
Su Yu was a little confused by her jumping thoughts, and his eyes were full of confusion, "Huh? Does this have anything to do with what we are doing now?"
Seeing this, Xie Xinghua smiled even more brightly and patiently explained, "Since this is a Feng Shui treasure land, why not build a small house at the foot of the mountain? Not only can you save the cost of purchasing land, but it is also close to your vegetable garden. In the future, you can gradually reclaim some wasteland and grow more food. Isn't it killing two birds with one stone?"
After hearing this, Su Yu thought about it carefully, looked around the beautiful scenery, and felt that this idea was indeed feasible.
At the foot of the mountain, a small lake seems to be embedded in the greenery. On one side, a clear stream flows down from upstream, while on the other side, the lake flows away along the winding river.
The lush trees and flourishing branches and leaves all around naturally outline an image of peace and tranquility, which is indeed a symbol of a Feng Shui treasure land.
They walked through the waist-high grass and came to the lake.
The sunlight shines through the treetops, casting patches of light on the soft grass.
Every step Su Yu took seemed to be on light green waves.
Just as she approached the river, wanting to feel the tranquility at a closer distance, a group of wild ducks suddenly took off into the air and flew high, breaking the silence around them and bringing Su Yu an unexpected surprise.
“Wow, I didn’t expect there were so many wild ducks hiding here!”
She couldn't help but sigh. She originally wanted to catch one or two wild ducks to add something new to the dinner table, but the wild ducks were extremely alert and had already swam to the center of the lake at a speed that was beyond her reach.
Feeling lost, Su Yu accidentally discovered several hidden duck nests in the grass, with a few duck eggs lying quietly inside. This unexpected harvest suddenly made her feel happy.
She carefully put away these round and smooth treasures, thinking that she could use them to make some delicious egg dishes.
At this moment, Xie Xinghua was sitting on a ridge of a field not far away to rest. She saw Su Yu returning with a full load, with his clothes bulging with duck eggs. Her eyes were full of surprise.
"Where did you get these eggs?"
she asked curiously.
Su Yu pointed to the grassy area near the lake and said with a smile, "I picked it up from the bushes over there. It turns out there are a flock of wild ducks hiding in this area. Didn't you notice it?"
Xie Xinghua shook her head slightly, with a hint of sadness in her expression: "This lake has had accidents before, and people have drowned. People in the village say that this place is unlucky, so gradually there are fewer people here. Especially next to the cemetery, it's even more..."
Her words stopped abruptly, and her eyes were full of the tacit understanding of "you know".
Su Yu nodded slightly. She knew that this area was not far from the cemetery. She remembered that when she first came here, she got lost and accidentally broke into the quiet cemetery.
Fortunately, Jiang Ziling arrived in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
Xie Xinghua came closer and lowered her voice, as if she was going to reveal some big secret: "I heard from the old people in the village that there are unclean things in that cemetery, and the rumors of ghosts have been around for a long time, so no one wants to get close to it."
Although Su Yu did not believe in the theory of ghosts, he always had a sense of awe for all kinds of things beyond common sense since he traveled through time.
"You said this was a good place for Feng Shui, but you asked me to build a house here. Aren't you kidding me?"
She couldn't help but joke.
Xie Xinghua smiled and shrugged, looking relaxed: "Those are just groundless rumors, don't take them too seriously. Besides, you are so righteous, those nonsense people would never dare to approach you."
Understanding Xie Xinghua's joke, Su Yu did not pursue it further. Instead, he pointed to a patch of grass and trees and said, "Sister-in-law, help me pick some weeds to put under the basket. I want to bring these duck eggs home safely. They can't be bumped or dented."
Xie Xinghua took action immediately, and soon made the bottom of the backpack thick and soft.
Su Yuze carefully put the duck eggs into the backpack, as if protecting the hope of new life.
"I really think this place is great, what do you think?"
Xie Xinghua confirmed again.
Su Yu continued to pick up the scattered duck eggs while nodding his head in agreement: "It's really good. When your second brother finishes his work, ask him to come and have a look, and together we can choose a suitable place to lay the foundation."
Su Yu had previously surveyed the nearby flat areas and found that the soil was too soft and not suitable for building houses, so he had to find another good place.
"Okay, wrap it up on me!"
Xie Xinghua agreed readily.
This would not only help find a good job for my second brother, but also solve Su Yu's funding problem for purchasing land. It's the best of both worlds, so why not do it?
Seeing that the basket was about to be full of duck eggs, Xie Xinghua suddenly took one and held it up to the sun, a smile of surprise immediately blossomed on her face: "Look, there is the outline of a duckling inside!"
Upon hearing this, Su Yu hurriedly took the duck egg and examined it carefully. It looked ordinary on the outside, but in the sunlight, spider-web-like blood vessels could be vaguely seen inside the duck egg, indicating that there was indeed life growing inside it.
"There really are little ducks! It's amazing!"
Su Yu's voice was filled with excitement, and then she began to carefully examine each remaining duck egg.
After some statistics, a total of nine fertilized duck eggs were found, and another fourteen unfertilized ordinary eggs.
"You are so lucky."
Xie Xinghua praised, "Soon, you will have nine little ducks."
But then, Xie Xinghua's tone became hesitant, as if she had some concerns, "It's just that without a mother duck to incubate these eggs, it may be difficult for them to hatch naturally."
"what?"
