In the Apocalypse, Ke Meiyu was a “canary” kept by the big shot Ying Yan.
She resented the big shot’s domineering, indifferent, and ruthless nature, yet yearned for the freedom of an or...
She lifted her leg, and the rabbit, startled, hopped and skipped away.
The children chased after her in a flurry, shouting, "Aunt Yu, we'll get her back for you right away!"
From a young age, they ran wildly across the mountains and fields at great speed. Strangely, the rabbit would run and jump for a while, then stop to nibble on the dry grass. When the rabbit caught up with them, it would panic and run away. In this way, they led a group of silly children to the vicinity of the bamboo forest.
"We can't run anymore," they said, panting heavily, and stopped abruptly, their scalps tingling with fear as they looked at the desolate rows of tombstones.
The rabbit stopped as well, leisurely nibbling on a dry blade of grass and chewing on a dried flower. It turned its head to look at them, wiggled its rear end towards them, and acted arrogantly, as if it knew they wouldn't dare to approach.
A boy rolled up his sleeves and said angrily, "Grandpa said there are no demons or monsters in this world. When people die, they turn into a handful of dust. What's there to be afraid of?"
"If I don't catch this rabbit today, I'm not going home!"
"Yes, we must catch it and braise it for Aunt Yu!"
As soon as the children shouted, they immediately continued chasing the rabbit like calves.
Within minutes, they reached the bamboo forest. Staring wide-eyed at the herd of wild boars, exhausted and unable to grunt, stuck among the bamboo, they froze for a moment, then began to howl frantically: "Aunt Yu, Uncle Xia, Uncle Wan, Uncle Sui, come quick..."
There were too many children in the Ke family. Those who missed it didn't know what had happened, but that didn't stop them from wailing and howling.
Startled, Ke Yuanxia, Ke Yuanwan, and Ke Yuansui quickly grabbed their tools and rushed over.
When they arrived, they looked up at the pork stuck in the bamboo, just like Ke Meiyu and the children.
"Oh my god, how did they get up there?" Ke Yuanxia exclaimed in a daze.
"Uncle Xia, you're so silly! Of course they fell from the sky!"
A four-year-old child said in a childish voice, "I heard Aunt Yu tell others that this time the pork fell from the sky and no longer grows in the cracks of rocks."
The three brothers all turned to look at the girl.
Ke Meiyu chuckled awkwardly and touched her face, "I just said it offhand, I never thought the wild boar herd would actually get stuck here."
Some of the little ones had already started counting on their little hands, and the other children joined in, chanting: "One wild boar, two wild boars, three wild boars... thirty-six wild boars, thirty-seven wild boars..."
Goodness, there were only twenty-six last time, but this time there are thirty-six!
Because of the month-long difference, this wild boar herd was not only larger in number, but each one was also quite heavy.
"Quickly go to the village and call people to come and catch the wild boar!"
Ke Yuanxia patted his older nephew and grinned as he spoke.
The children all took off running back, and as soon as they took a step, they continued to shout excitedly at the top of their lungs.
