Chapter 9 All Dead



What a pity for such a fat rabbit head.

But whatever his wife said was what he did, and he resigned himself to digging the trap.

By the time Jian Ning had cut off the rabbit's head and sharpened the bamboo sticks, he had only dug a shallow pit. Jian Ning, displeased with his slowness, took matters into his own hands, quickly finishing the job. He dropped the rabbit's head, sprinkled with spiritual spring water, into the trap and marked the area. The two of them then cut some grass and chopped some bamboo. Jian Ning also picked a few herbs. When he felt the area was almost ready, he called him down the mountain.

Ding Youtian had learned from the girl that she knew medicine, and he had always wanted to ask her where she was from and if she had any relatives in her hometown. However, because Jian Ning had always been rude to him, he didn't dare ask.

Now he had picked up a rabbit, and his wife seemed to be in a good mood, so he plucked up the courage to ask her on the way down the mountain.

Jian Ning: “…They’re all dead!”

He took two quick steps forward upon hearing this. "Luckily, your family escaped the famine. I wonder how your parents and your brothers and sisters are doing these past few years."

"They're all dead!"

"How would my wife know..." Ding Youtian realized before he finished speaking that his wife must be angry with them for selling her out, so she thought they were all dead.

Jane Ning really thought her parents were dead! Her family lived in a small town. Her parents divorced when she was very young, and then each remarried, and they were neighbors next door to each other.

Simply put, two families in the same corridor exchanged their hostesses.

After her parents remarried, Jane Ning had a stepfather and a stepmother, and later, brothers and sisters, but she felt she had no home. Neither of her parents wanted her, agreeing to let her live in each house for a month, but they kept pushing her back and forth. Often, she knocked on one door, but no one answered. Then she knocked on that door, but no one answered.

Later one day, her parents said they would take her to visit relatives in the provincial capital. They took her to a noodle shop and ordered a bowl of wonton for her. Then they went to the bathroom one after another and never came back.
