Second Brother Yun was also delighted. "Yiyi, these two rabbits are not small. One rabbit can be used as a meal. However, when stewing them, ask mother to put more potatoes and wild vegetables."
Yun Yiyi and Xie Zirui watched the rabbit scurrying back and forth in the basket, their eyes gleaming. This is meat!
Second Brother Yun turned to look at First Brother Yun, "Big Brother, do we have to wait a little longer? I wonder if all the rabbits in the rabbit hole have come out yet?"
"No hurry, let's wait a little longer. If no rabbit comes out, then there may be no rabbits left in the rabbit hole."
"Brother, let me add some more firewood to the rabbit hole."
Yun Yiyi ran back and stuffed several handfuls of firewood into the rabbit hole. Smoke began to billow out of the other rabbit holes again.
Yun Yiyi and the others waited for a while, but still no rabbit came out, so Brother Yun and the others put away the basket.
Yun Yiyi said excitedly, "Brother, we caught two big rabbits and four little rabbits."
Everyone looked at the rabbit running back and forth in the basket, their mouths stretched from ear to ear.
"Yes, I didn't expect to catch so many rabbits."
"These four little rabbits are not small. They can be eaten."
"There's really an extra meat dish tonight."
Everyone started talking excitedly.
In the end, it was Yun Yiyi who interrupted everyone's discussion.
"Brother, you guys should just smash these to death. We can't take the rabbits back alive. Besides, we don't have much water left at home. So we'll clean up the rabbits here and take them back."
"Okay, what Yiyi said makes sense. Second and third brother, take the basket and follow me. Let's go to the spring and kill the rabbit by throwing it there."
"Yiyi, Zirui, you two wait here for us first. Don't go over there. Children can't see it."
Yun Yiyi and Xie Zirui exchanged a glance and said, "Brother, Brother Zirui and I will grab some hay and go to another rabbit hole to wait for you."
"However, there aren't many signs of rabbit activity over there. I suspect it's an abandoned rabbit hole."
"Okay, then you go now. Don't come back to peek. You will have nightmares at night." Brother Yun warned worriedly.
"Don't worry, big brother, I won't peek."
Brother Yun and the others watched Yun Yiyi and Xie Zirui walk away with the hay, then they carried their baskets to the spring pit.
Brother Yun and his friends caught the rabbits, knocked them unconscious with stones, and finally tied up the rabbits one by one with the ropes they brought with them and placed them next to the spring.
Brother Yun and the others are very strong, and after the rabbit is knocked unconscious, it will not wake up for a while.
After all the rabbits were processed, the three Yun brothers went to find Yun Yiyi with empty baskets on their backs.
"Big brother, second brother, third brother, look, this is it. But the weeds at the entrance of the rabbit hole are so deep. I doubt there are any rabbits inside."
Brother Yun looked at the rabbit hole in front of him. The entrance was almost covered with weeds, and it would be impossible to find the entrance without careful observation.
He went to check the other caves and found that they were all in the same condition. Only one cave was closer to the rock, where the grass was shorter and there were more rabbits.
"Yiyi, you and Zirui should go to this hole. I guess this is the hole where rabbits often move around."
Second Brother Yun and Third Brother Yun also looked at all the holes, and they agreed with the opinion of First Brother Yun.
The Yun family and their friends go up the mountains and down the rivers almost all year round, so they are very familiar with how to find wild animals in the mountains.
"Got it, big brother."
Yun Yiyi and Xie Zirui carried hay to the entrance of the rabbit hole near the rock.
She lit some hay and stuffed it into the rabbit hole. Brother Yun and the others blocked the other holes with baskets.
"Yiyi, continue adding firewood." Brother Yun San shouted anxiously.
"I understand, Third Brother." Yun Yiyi said, and continued to stuff hay into the rabbit hole.
Xie Zirui was also busy stuffing hay.
After a while, smoke began to come out of several other rabbit holes.
Yun Yiyi became happy. It was almost time, the rabbit would come out.
Yun Yiyi kept stuffing hay in. More and more smoke came out of the other holes.
"Big brother, second brother, third brother, you must take good care of the basket."
"Got it, Yiyi."
"Oh, a big rabbit came out of my cave." Brother Yun San shouted excitedly.
Yun Yiyi and Xie Zirui stuffed a large handful of hay into the rabbit hole, and then the two hurried to Brother Yun San.
"Third brother, this rabbit is so big."
"Third brother, this rabbit can make a big pot of spicy rabbit meat."
Third Brother Yun gave Yun Yiyi and Xie Zirui a smack on the head, "You two actually told the truth."
After Third Brother Yun finished speaking, he also started laughing.
After a while, a big rabbit also ran out of the cave on Brother Yun's side.
"Yiyi, Zirui, a big rabbit also ran out of the cave on my second brother's side."
When Yun Yiyi and Xie Zirui heard this, they ran to Brother Yun's side to see the big rabbit.
The rabbits in Brother Yun's basket were also very large. It was autumn now, and the rabbits were all well-fed and slippery.
Everyone waited for a while, but no rabbit came out.
"Yiyi, I guess there are only big rabbits in the rabbit hole here, no little rabbits."
"Yeah. Big brother has a point. If it were just the big rabbits, there wouldn't be that many traces of their activities."
Brother Yun was delighted. "It's beyond our expectations that we were able to catch two big rabbits in this rabbit hole."
Brother Yun was a little confused. "Yeah, I didn't expect to harvest so many rabbits today."
Third Brother Yun was the most direct. "Brother, let's go and clean up the rabbits quickly. Let Mom prepare a dish for us tonight."
Yun Yiyi and Xie Zirui also looked straight at Brother Yun.
"Okay, let's go get the rabbits now. The sun is still high, so let's get them done quickly so we don't miss out on everyone having dinner."
"Brother, clean up all the rabbits and take them back." Yun Yiyi said, touching her chin.
Brother Yun nodded and said, "Okay, we don't have much water at home, and we can't clean it up if we take it back. There's water here, so it's just convenient to clean it up."
"Yiyi, Zirui, go look for some wild fruits in the valley. We're going to go get the rabbits now. I'll call you when we're done."
Yun Yiyi nodded and said, "Brother, let's go find some wild fruits."
"Go." Brother Yun and the others waited until Yun Yiyi and Xie Zirui were far away before they returned to the spring.
Fortunately, Brother Yun and his companions brought sickles with them when they went into the mountains, which could also be used to kill rabbits.
Brother Yun used to work with Yun the Butcher to look after the meat stall, so preparing rabbits was no problem for him.
So, Big Brother Yun packed up the rabbits, and Second Brother Yun and Third Brother Yun cleaned the rabbits.
Brother Yun also found a lot of large leaves, washed them with spring water, and used them to wrap the rabbits.
Brother Yun peeled off the rabbit skin, scraped off the meat with a sickle, rinsed it with water, and placed it on a large rock next to him to dry.
