Chapter 309 Rowing to Chase Wild Ducks
When Xu Ning woke up, it was already around three or four in the afternoon.
Xu Ning was sleeping soundly and didn't even notice that some of the wild ducks she had scared away had returned.
Until Xu Ning stretched, then slowly walked towards the lake carrying the pots and bowls that had not been washed at noon.
She squatted by the lake, gently scrubbing the pots and dishes with the lake water, making crisp sounds.
The noise of washing the pot scared out the wild ducks that had just returned to their nests. They rushed out of the nests in panic, running around in a panic and quacking sounds, as if expressing their dissatisfaction.
Then, Xu Ning was splashed with water in the face by a wild duck that ran out.
Xu Ning:......
"Hey! You old lady are really hiding in bed. You made me laugh! Let me see how I'm going to deal with you!" Xu Ning put the half-washed pot aside, exchanged it for a small boat and paddled to chase the group of wild ducks.
The wild ducks didn't expect that Xu Ning would actually chase them to their territory, and they were so scared that they flew around on the water!
Their quacking sounds echoed across the lake, making the entire surface lively.
Xu Ning rowed the boat, chasing the wild ducks closely. She tried hard to control the boat, trying to get close to those cunning wild ducks, but every time she was about to catch them, they always managed to cleverly avoid her.
"Quack quack quack!!!" The wild ducks quacked, as if laughing at Xu Ning's clumsiness.
Xu Ning was unwilling to give up and continued to chase the wild ducks, constantly trying various methods to catch them. However, no matter how hard she tried, the wild ducks always managed to easily escape her pursuit.
As time went by, Xu Ning was exhausted and panting. She sat in the boat, looking at the lake in the distance, feeling helpless.
In the end, Xu Ning caught nothing except a few duck feathers that floated over.
Xu Ning lay completely flat in the boat, breathing heavily, using his left arm to block the still dazzling sunlight, and just let the boat drift in the center of the lake.
The wild ducks that Xu Ning had driven away began to slowly return to their own territory, quacking as if celebrating their victory.
Xu Ning lay quietly on the boat, enjoying this rare peaceful time.
Soon, the wild ducks also fell completely silent. These animals are quiet in the wild because their noises would attract carnivores.
After being frightened by Xu Ning, they became even quieter.
Xu Ning had a smile on her face. The only sounds she could hear were the rippling water in the lake caused by the breeze, her breathing, and the rustling of leaves in the distance.
It was very peaceful, as if she was the only one left in the world. She felt a little lonely, but very free. Xu Ning really liked the feeling at this moment.
The boat gradually stopped rocking and stopped quietly in the center of the lake.
Xu Ning relaxed his breathing, but his heartbeat was unusually clear at this moment.
"Thump thump thump thump"
"quack"
"chirp"
"quack"
Various sounds gradually sounded, like a symphony.
The sun had gone down, and the glare of the sunlight was no longer visible. Xu Ning gently put his hands aside, and when he opened his eyes he saw the brilliant afterglow.
"It's the sunset. It's so beautiful." Xu Ning said softly.
She slowly opened her arms, as if to embrace it all.
The breeze also gently blew her hair at this moment. Xu Ning closed her eyes again, enjoying this moment of peace.
The boat floated slowly with the wind. In this quiet environment, time seemed to stop flowing. Xu Ning merged with nature and became a part of this beautiful scenery.
When she opened her eyes again, there was only a last ray of sunlight left in the sky.
Xu Ning took a deep breath and slowly sat up. Looking at the calm lake, an idea suddenly came to his mind: "Bao, are there any large carnivores in this lake?"
"Hello player, there is a water snake at the seven o'clock position on your right hand side." The voice of the treasure chest sounded at the edge of his mind.
"Oh, forget it." Xu Ning sighed somewhat disappointedly. He had originally thought of going down for a swim and relaxing, but now he had to give up this idea.
What Xu Ning fears most is snakes. When she thinks of the slippery snakes hiding in the lake, she can't help but get goose bumps.
So Xu Ning gave up his plan to spend the night on the boat and decided to go back to the shore where it would be safer.
The boat swayed back to the lakeside, and Xu Ning jumped easily and stood on solid ground.
She squatted down resignedly, picked up the half-washed pots and pans, and began to wash them carefully.
After washing, she refilled the small iron pot with clear lake water, carefully picked up the pot, and returned to the big rock where she had sat during her lunch break.
The pile of stones still lay there quietly, as if waiting for her return. Xu Ning dug out the ashes inside and quickly cleaned it up.
Then she skillfully lit a new fire, and the warm flames instantly illuminated the surrounding environment.
Xu Ning clapped his hands in satisfaction, brushed off the remaining dust on his hands, then carefully placed the small iron pot on the fire and started cooking.
While she was busy, she exchanged things with the treasure box: "Bao, help me exchange a pack of snail noodles, two packs of braised duck feet, a braised egg and half a bunch of water spinach."
However, the voice of the treasure chest interrupted her: "Hello player, we don't have any water spinach here."
Whose system is good to sell half a bunch of water spinach?
"Then just give me a whole handful, and put the rest in the space."
Xu Ning took the water spinach that was still dripping with water to the lakeside, simply rinsed it twice in the lake water, then cut it in half and placed it neatly in a porcelain basin.
Then he sat quietly by the side, waiting patiently for the water to boil and preparing for the next step.
Finally, the water boiled, and Xu Ning couldn't wait to put the rice noodles into the pot, and then added various seasonings one by one. As the aroma of the seasonings spread, her mood gradually became cheerful.
Finally, she put the washed water spinach into the pot and watched them change color in the boiling soup.
Xu Ning took the small iron pot off the fire and placed it on the stone. He took a deep breath, feeling the unique smell in the air.
"Hmm, it's stinky enough, that's the smell." Xu Ning showed a satisfied smile on her face, and couldn't wait to take out the spoon and drink the soup first. However, she found that there was only a faint smell of MSG in the soup.
"Baby, your snail noodles are not authentic. The soup is not broth." Xu Ning frowned, but still took the second sip.
Then, she picked up a sour bamboo shoot, blew it gently, put it in her mouth and took a bite. Instantly, the sour taste hit her, and she couldn't help but make a distorted expression.
This time, the treasure chest did not respond to her words as usual. Xu Ning felt a little strange, but she was too lazy to think too much.
She didn't want to wash too many dishes, so she threw the bowls and ceramic basins back into the space, then sat in front of the small iron pot with the spoon and chopsticks and started eating.
As Xu Ning ate, she sighed with satisfaction. She ate with gusto, completely immersed in the enjoyment of the food. Until she finished the last bite, the treasure box still made no sound.
Xu Ning felt a little confused. She washed the pot and put it back on the fire to boil water. Then, she sat on a big rock and looked at the calm lake in front of her quietly. A trace of doubt surged in her heart.
After a while, Xu Ning suddenly said, "Bao, you didn't say anything. Are you intoxicated by the snail noodles?"
After saying this, she was amused by her own thoughts. How could an artificial intelligence be afraid of stench?
But she didn't know that at this moment the treasure chest was hiding in the corner of the space. She covered the box humanely and looked at the pile of smelly dishes with disgust.
