at last.

He heard the call of wild ducks.

Aquatic plants can obscure the view, but they cannot block the senses of farming.

"Ugh, those damn wild ducks, they call out every day, always trying to tempt us."

"Stop complaining. Wild ducks are too cunning. Even if we hear their calls, we won't be able to find their nests. Let's just stick to fishing!"

"It's all because the meadow was too big and the grass was too tall, otherwise we would definitely have found it."

Wan Ping'an overheard a few complaints.

In the early 1950s, there were large tracts of wasteland outside Beijing, and the riverbanks were covered with lush aquatic plants, providing a good hiding place for wild ducks.

It's hard to find wild ducks hiding in the vast grasslands.

You might accidentally fall into the water.

"Luckily, I have a knack for farming."

Even if there are aquatic plants blocking the view and you can't see the wild ducks, you can still sense their exact location.

"Everyone, I'm sorry."

"You can only hear the wild ducks calling, but I'm going to catch them."

"This is the season when wild ducks lay their eggs, so you might be able to harvest a nest of wild duck eggs along the way."

Wan Ping'an glanced at the complaining person, then turned and walked towards the large patch of grass by the river.

The aquatic plants are lush.

Some of the aquatic plants reached up to his waist.

Forget wild ducks, even a child running in would be swallowed up by the grass.

while walking.

A wild duck in front of us was startled and flew away.

“The monk may escape, but the temple cannot.”

"The wild ducks may fly away, but their nests cannot be left behind."

Wan Ping'an rushed over and, using the location sensory input from farming, quickly found the wild duck's nest, where there were six still-warm wild duck eggs.

"Great."

"Finally, we can eat eggs."

"If there are no chicken eggs, duck eggs will do."

Wan Ping'an picked out the wild duck eggs, put them all in his pocket, and continued searching for wild ducks.

"Look, hasn't that young man found something?"

"It's too far away to see clearly, but it looks like a few wild duck eggs. However, the wild ducks were scared away and will never come back."

"What a pity, it would be great if we could catch a wild duck."

Finding a nest of wild duck eggs is like winning the lottery; you expect to catch wild ducks?

None of the fishermen on the river had any hope for Wan Ping'an.

Wild duck eggs stay in their nests and won't run away, but wild ducks are different; they are very alert and will fly far away at the slightest disturbance.

Wan Ping'an didn't hear their discussion; he continued searching for wild ducks.

soon.

His farming instincts then focused on a wild duck.

It's right there in the water plants.

"We can't go straight there, otherwise the wild ducks will be scared away."

"We have no guns, no bows and arrows, no slingshots, and we can't get close. What should we do?"

"I've got it! I can use concealed weapon techniques to throw stones!"

Wan Ping'an remembered.

He is a master of Bajiquan, and has even used gene-enhancing drugs. His strength and body control far surpass those of ordinary people.

The stones he threw by hand, within a range of twenty or thirty meters, were no less powerful or accurate than those thrown by a slingshot.

He found a few small stones.

Targeting the wild ducks perceived in farming.

Whizzing!

Two pebbles were thrown one after the other.

The first pebble startled the wild ducks, sending them flying into the grass.

The second pebble hit the wild duck squarely on the head, and the duck fell headfirst.

Wan Ping'an was excited and quickly found the wild duck he had shot.

The wild duck was just stunned; it wasn't killed.

If you kill it, you won't be able to bleed it out, which will affect the taste. Just take it back alive, and kill it again whenever you want to eat it.

We harvested five more wild duck eggs, including one live duck.

"Holy crap, look! Did that young man catch a duck?"

"They actually caught him! How did they do it?"

“I saw it. He was holding a stone and smashed a wild duck to death from more than 20 meters away.”

"You must be mistaken. It's over twenty meters away. How could he possibly hit a wild duck by throwing stones, not firing a gun?"

"Why did I lie to you?"

The people by the river started arguing.

Nobody believed that Wan Ping'an could hit a wild duck with a stone.

They stopped fishing and started watching Wan Ping'an, wondering how he would catch the wild ducks.

Less than five minutes later.

Wan Ping'an used the same trick again, throwing two stones. One stone startled the wild duck into flight, while the other knocked it unconscious.

I caught three wild ducks.

Wan Ping'an stopped catching them; that was enough for him to eat for a few days. The remaining wild ducks would be kept by the river for now, and he could come back to catch them when he wanted to eat them.

"Young man, are you selling the wild ducks you caught?"

Just as Wan Ping'an was about to go home, two people came over and looked at the wild duck in his hand.

Unable to catch wild ducks themselves, they had to buy them from Wan Ping'an.

"Sorry, I need to take it back to my family."

Wan Ping'an told a lie.

He doesn't know the price of wild ducks. What if he gets scammed?

We'll take what we caught back and eat it first.

He'll decide whether to sell or not after he finds out the price.

Anyway, the wild ducks are right by the river, and he can catch them anytime he wants, so there's no rush.

How did you catch the wild duck?

Another person asked curiously.

"secret!"

Wan Ping'an smiled.

His understanding of farming is unique to him.

Even if he told him, no one would believe him.

There is also the risk of exposing the system.

The farming system must never be exposed, otherwise it will bring him danger. He cannot even tell his closest relatives; he must take the secret to his grave.

soon.

Wan Pingan returned to the courtyard house.

"I wonder if those beasts will be drooling over my meat and wild ducks?"

When we arrived at the gate.

Wan Ping'an then remembered that the bunch of beasts in the yard would definitely not be willing to watch him eat meat!
