Chapter 28 Duck (recommendation required)

Hu Qi's expression changed and he clicked on the message.

This is a post he made earlier looking for an exotic animal.

During this period of time, he has sent out quite a lot of posts.

However, most of the posts are like stones thrown into the sea, failing to create even the slightest ripple.

Otherwise, it's just a bunch of people talking nonsense and showing pictures, without any valuable information at all.

But today, the situation has changed.

I saw a bar friend named "Xia Ren Bu Blink" sent a private message to Hu Qi.

[Shrimp Without Blinking]: I have a duck at home, do you want it?

As he spoke, a picture was attached below.

The scene in the picture seems to be by a small river.

Floating in the water was a medium-sized duck.

However, this duck is very different from the ordinary duck with gray and yellow-brown fur.

Its feathers are a strange dark purple color, with several lightning-like silver-gray stripes interlaced.

At the same time, its head is not as round as that of an ordinary duck, but slightly pointed.

Those eyes were even redder.

Since the shooting distance is quite far and the photos have been compressed by Tieba, the clarity is greatly reduced.

These are all that can be seen.

But even so, Hu Qi could conclude that this was a strange beast.

But the premise is that this duck really exists, and it is not a fake picture created through some kind of photo-editing method.

Think of this.

Hu Qi added the other party without hesitation for a private chat.

The other party responded quickly.

Coincidentally, the other party is also in Qirong City.

By querying the other party's location on the navigation.

It was discovered that it was about thirty kilometers away from here.

Hu Qi didn't hesitate at all and quickly agreed on a time, ready to go to the other party's place to check it out later.

The Scarlet Modification Panel is his biggest secret and the basis for his survival.

Its effect is incredible.

But if you want to use it, you need to modify the value.

As far as the currently known method is concerned, only eating exotic beasts can provide him with modification values.

Moreover, this method was only a speculation before.

This is a good opportunity to confirm it.

Hu Qi finished his breakfast in a hurry, and before leaving, he bought a bottle of milk and some buns to eat.

When I got home, I had just finished eating the last bun.

I simply took a shower and changed into clean clothes.

So he set off towards the address given by the other party.

After half an hour.

In the west of Qirong City, on a road close to the suburbs.

As a green taxi slowly stopped.

Hu Qi got out of the car with a backpack on his back.

He raised his head and looked around.

Compared with the old city area of ​​Dongcheng and the core area of ​​Nancheng, Xicheng seems particularly desolate.

All I could see were some low gray-white buildings, and right in front of the road, there was a huge mountain rising high.

Against the backdrop of sunlight, it seems to be covered with a thin layer of green gauze.

Among the lush mountains and forests, there is a winding bluestone staircase.

Occasionally, you can see tourists walking slowly up the stairs.

There is a temple at the end of the stone steps.

The eaves of the temple peek out from the dense branches and leaves, and the blue-gray tiles sparkle with an ancient and mysterious luster under the sunlight.

In the temple, there was a faint smell of green smoke rising.

That is the famous temple in Qirong City. During important festivals, high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen would come to burn incense, and there would often be luxury cars parked below.

Hu Qi withdrew his gaze.

He walked a few steps forward and came to a three-way intersection. Opposite him was a vocational college.

However, because it was summer vacation, there were not many people in the college.

There was only an old security guard standing at the door smoking.

"Hey! I'm here now. Yes, opposite Peizhi Vocational College."

Hu Qi hung up the phone.

After a while, I saw a figure running hurriedly towards me from the side intersection.

This is a thin young man with dyed yellow hair, wearing a T-shirt and jeans.

There were a few silver earrings on his right ear, which reflected dazzling white light in the sunlight.

“Are you the rainy night?”

The young man looked Hu Qi up and down carefully and asked uncertainly.

"it's me!"

Hu Qi nodded.

'Rainy Night' is the online name he used when posting on Tieba.

"Take me to see that duck. If it's real, the price is negotiable."

Hu Qi didn't waste any time on politeness and went straight to the point.

"Okay, come with me!"

The young man nodded and immediately walked in front to lead the way.

along the way.

The two had a brief exchange.

It also gave Hu Qi a general understanding of the specific situation.

The young man in front of him was named Ding Yu, and he was the student from Peizhi Vocational College.

His family lives nearby.

But I usually live on campus.

The ducks this time were raised by his grandmother.

I also went home this summer vacation.

I realized that this duck was different from the others, and since I had read Hu Qi's posts online before, I thought about selling it for some money.

Soon, the two of them came to a village along a side path.

The village is not big, with only a dozen or so households scattered around, and they are far apart from each other.

Occasionally you can see a few elderly people gathering under the shade of the trees chatting leisurely.

soon.

The two came to a two-story courtyard made of gray-white stone bricks.

There is a duck coop built against the wall at the entrance.

It is built of simple bricks, stones and wood.

The roof is covered with blue-gray tiles, which appear slightly mottled after being weathered by wind and rain.

Some traces of soil can still be seen between the gaps.

The ground was paved with straw, and there was a small man-made pool on the side.

There are a few ducks swimming and playing in the water.

Hu Qi quickly scanned the area and soon saw a duck near the corner.

The duck was kept alone in an iron cage.

Its body shape is no different from that of a normal duck, but its feathers are dark purple, which makes it stand out compared to the ordinary gray and white ducks around it.

At this moment, it is putting its head between its wings, seemingly taking a rest.

suddenly.

It seemed that he had noticed the arrival of Hu Qi and the other two.

It suddenly raised its head, revealing a pair of red eyes, which seemed full of aggression.

The long, flat mouth is dark black in color, with edges as sharp as a blade.

When it saw Hu Qi and the other man, it opened its mouth and made a "ga ga" sound.

"That's it. This duck has a very bad temper. It has killed several ducks before, so we have to put it in a cage."

Ding Yu pointed and introduced.

At this time, a hunchbacked old man in his fifties or sixties walked out of the courtyard nearby.

After Ding Yu gave a brief introduction, the old man seemed to be a little hard of hearing. It took him a long time to understand what Ding Yu meant. He then waved his hand and let them handle it themselves.
