Chapter Eleven: Catching the Rabbit
Chapter 111 Catching the Rabbit
Xiao Yu didn't know what Xiao Qiang and Taoist Master Bai were talking at home. At this time, he was concentrating on looking at the snow-white wheat field ahead.
"I heard from my dad that there are several rabbit holes in the wheat field in the south," Xiao Jie walked into the wheat field and whispered.
Xiao Yu also bent his body and moved forward slowly. Before a few steps were taken, he saw a row of rabbit footprints on the snow. The offset printing continued to extend forward, and there was no trace in the small hole beside a pile of soil.
"Everyone separated" Xiao Ping greeted, then took a small net and ran forward quickly. When he arrived at the entrance of the cave, he hurriedly covered a small net on the entrance of the cave, and the other children searched for other rabbit holes separately.
The so-called cunning rabbit has three holes, which is true at all. Not far away, several people discovered two rabbit holes again. Then several people sealed some of the rabbit holes, and then started to make a fire. Another child took out a palm fan and kept pouring the cigarette into the rabbit hole. After a while, the cigarette in the rabbit hole began to roll out.
"Here, come, stop it quickly," Xiao Jie shouted.
Several children cooperated well. When they saw the cigarette rolling out, they hurriedly picked up the prepared stones and blocked the hole. On the other side, Xiao Yu also hurriedly blocked the hole. Xiao Ping was lying at the hole with a small net, with his hands in claws, like a hunting wolf.
"Xiao Ping, be careful, it's over," Xiao Yu shouted.
At this moment, a faint smoke suddenly gushed out from the rabbit hole next to Xiao Ping, and then the rabbit rushed out like an arrow. However, as soon as it came out, it hit the small net at the entrance of the cave. The small net wrapped the rabbit up directly. The rabbit struggled and ran forward for two steps, but Xiao Ping grabbed the net rope.
"Catch it, catch it, it's great," a group of children said happily.
Xiao Yu stepped forward and looked at the rabbit. The rabbit was not big, probably only about two pounds. Now that he was surrounded by a few children, he was suddenly a little scared and began to tremble.
"Let's go, grab the next one, everyone work harder, go to my house tonight, we will eat braised rabbit meat," Xiao Yu shouted loudly.
"Okay, let's go."
But then, the few people were not so lucky. Although they saw the rabbit's footprints, the few places were empty before they were early. After working for a long time, they couldn't find anything! What's even more annoying was that when they found a rabbit hole, the rabbit actually knocked a hole into a bush, so the rabbit rushed into the dense forest under the gaze of the few people.
"What a cunning rabbit, this must be the rabbit king."
"Yes, this rabbit is so big, I think it's five or six kilograms."
"My dad said that if the rabbit king ran away, the rabbit would definitely report the message, and we couldn't catch it even if we were there."
The rabbit king, this is what the old man in the village said, saying that although this rabbit is an animal, it has spirituality. If you catch a rabbit and run away from the rabbit king, the rabbit king will tell other rabbits the news, so that the rabbit will hide far away.
"Okay, then let's go back. This rabbit will be raised tonight and we will eat it together tomorrow," said Xiao Yu.
At this time, Xiao Jie hurriedly said, "Xiao Yu, I know where there are rabbits, but I'm a little scared."
When a group of children heard that there were many rabbits, they all gathered around, looking at Xiao Jie and said, "Where are you lying?"
"Why are you lying to you? My grandfather said that it was on the mass grave. There were many rabbit holes in the grave, and the rabbits inside were all very big," Xiao Jie explained hurriedly.
Everyone in the village knew about the mass grave. Of course, these children knew where they were, but when they heard that it was that place, they were a little afraid. However, there were mounds of large and small. If ordinary people went, they would not know where it would be a mass grave. In addition, over the years, there have been people who farmed next to them, and nothing happened. So even though they were afraid, everyone still had a hint of expectation.
"Xiao Jie, are there really rabbits in that place?" asked a thin boy weakly.
"Of course it's true. My grandfather said that the rabbits there are more than ten pounds, and they are almost caught up with a piglet." If you are afraid, you can't go.
The thin boy is named Xiao Long, who is younger than Xiao Yu and the others. His parents are doing business in other places. He and his grandparents are at home, but Xiao Long is relatively thin and prone to illness. He usually stays at home. Today he sneaks out.
"Who said I'm scared? If you go, I'll go too, so I won't be afraid?" Xiao Long said with his head tilted and dissatisfied.
"That's right, we're not afraid! As long as Xiao Yu goes, we'll go, whoever is afraid of whom." Xiao Hong was wearing a red cotton jacket. Although she was a girl, she was still unwilling to fall behind and hurriedly stood up.
"Yes, I heard from Xiao Yu, he would go as soon as he said," Xiao Ping also stood beside Xiao Yu and said.
Seeing that these people were not afraid, they all wanted to go. Xiao Jie hurriedly said, "Okay, then listen to Xiao Yu, he can catch ghosts, let's listen to him."
Not only adults know Xiao Yu's current reputation, but even the children in the village admire him very much, so now everyone turns their attention to him and waits for his answer.
Seeing that the friends were all looking at him, Xiao Yu hurriedly said, "Since everyone agrees, we will try it tomorrow, but everyone must listen to me and don't run around casually. I won't care if something happens."
"Okay, we will definitely listen to you," a group of children nodded.
After working hard for a day, I finally got the goods. Although the rabbit is not big, it is better than going back empty-handed! So a group of children cheered and returned to the village, while Xiao Yu went to Xiao Ping's house. He was now a little impatient to see these puppies.
There are five dogs, three white, one black and one flower, all look good, and Xiao Yu can't pick puppies, so he booked the black one and took them back after the full moon.
"Uncle Xiao, how much does this dog cost?" Xiao said to the little black dog who had not opened his eyes.
"Oh, no money is worth it. It's all from the same village, and a puppy is not worth it. Just catch it," Xiao Ping's father said angrily.
A puppy costs 30 yuan, and five are only 15 yuan. Although it is not much, it is a considerable income in such a mountain village.
"How can you do it? You have to spend food even if you keep it."
"What can I eat at such a young age? This dog son will give you my uncle. When you are outside in the future, Xiao Ping hopes you will take care of him."
"That's right, it's just a beast, what's the money to give! Xiao Yu, come and have a meal," Xiao Ping shouted.
Everyone said this. If Xiao Yu refused the most, it would seem a bit disgusting, so he immediately agreed, "Okay, then thank you uncle. If you can use mine in the future, you can say that, I will definitely help if I can."
After hearing Xiao Yu's words, Xiao Ping's father immediately smiled happily and pulled Xiao Yu and said, "Okay, uncle is waiting for you to say this. Let's go and have a meal. You can try the braised pork that uncle cooks."
Xiao Yu grew up eating hundreds of foods since he was a child. He would eat from anyone who had prepared the food, so he didn't feel embarrassed. After all, he had eaten at Xiao Ping's house many times, and Xiao Ping often went to his house for dinner.
After dinner, Xiao Yu watched TV at Xiao Ping's house and then went home. However, halfway through, he released the little ghost and asked him to go to the mass grave to see if there was anything unclean. If there was anything, then don't mess with it. It would be better to do less than more.
