There was no one here, so the two siblings decided to deal with the chickens nearby before leaving.
But you have to go a little further inside and a little to the right.
In order not to leave too many traces, Ning Xiyue and her brother picked up their bicycles and walked forward to a well-hidden place where there was a small ditch.
The first thing to do after taking the chicken out is to wipe the chicken's neck to remove the blood stasis in the chicken's body.
When a chicken is beaten to death and has just died, the blood has not yet coagulated. The chicken will taste good only after the blood has been drained. Otherwise, over time, the blood will accumulate in the chicken meat, making the meat fishy and unpalatable.
After draining all the blood, the two siblings scalded the chicken with water from a kettle, burned it with fire, removed the chicken feathers, and only stopped when they had cleaned the entire chicken thoroughly inside and out.
Ning Xiyue cleared out the morels, placed leaves and grass around the backpack, put the chicken at the bottom of the backpack, covered it with grass, and then placed the morels on top of the chicken to cover it. The morels were also covered with grass.
Ning Qingyuan was still worried and took off his clothes to cover the opening of the backpack.
After cleaning up the traces here, Ning Qingyuan said happily while holding his bicycle:
"Sister, let's go back and stew the chicken. It's worth taking this afternoon off. We can have some meat to eat."
"Okay, we have to ride faster later. This chicken is obviously old and needs to be stewed for a longer time. I'm afraid I won't be able to chew it even after an hour or two."
Ning Xiyue also picked up the bicycle and walked back along the same route.
After walking for a while, Ning Xiyue suddenly heard two "bang" sounds in front of her, and Ning Qingyuan took a few steps back.
Ning Xiyue was startled and quickly helped her second brother to stand steady. She asked anxiously, "Brother, what's wrong? Are you okay?"
After Ning Qingyuan stood firm, he put down the half-lifted bicycle and looked down to see the gray rabbit's head stuck in the wheel, and the fat body behind it kept twisting.
"Hahaha, it's effortless. You deserve to die here today. Little sister, the rabbit just came to your door on its own."
Ning Qingyuan squatted down and pulled out the rabbit's head that was stuck in the wheel. Seeing the slightly deformed iron rod in the wheel, he patted the rabbit's head in anger.
Ning Xiyue was stunned when she saw the live rabbit with its legs kicking in her second brother's hand. This was the real-life version of the rabbit that hits the stake in the story of waiting for the rabbit by the tree.
"Brother, that's amazing. How did this stupid rabbit bump into you?"
"I saw a shadow jump out from the haystack in front of me, and it bumped into the metal casing protecting the chain in the middle of my bicycle. Look, right there, damn, it made a dent."
Ning Qingyuan saw that there was a small concave hole on it, and his smiling face suddenly changed. He covered his chest with his hands, feeling so distressed that the rabbits he caught were not tasty.
"What a loss! This damn rabbit smashed my precious bicycle. It hit two places at once. The first time it hit me, I was dizzy. Then it ran and bumped into my wheel. Little sister, I'm so sorry. It ruined a good bicycle."
Ning Qingyuan glared at the rabbit fiercely and grabbed its neck tightly to prevent it from escaping. If it escaped, he would lose everything.
"It's okay, it's okay, they are just small problems, I can help you with it."
Ning Xiyue comforted her second brother and squatted down to help him straighten the iron rod in the wheel. Fortunately, it was not too serious and it was restored after a few bends. There was no sign that the iron rod in this position had ever been crooked.
"Look, second brother, isn't that okay? Let me help you push that dent in the back out."
Ning Xiyue reached her hand into the bicycle chain, picked up a branch from the ground, and pushed hard against the protruding iron shell. After a few pushes, the iron shell bulged out.
Fortunately, the rabbit's head is round, and the hole it hit is also round, with no damage, so it is easy to clean the hole. Although it cannot be restored to its perfect state, it looks okay, at least more than 90% restored.
"It's almost done. The remaining bumps and bruises are not a problem. They are normal wear and tear and will not affect riding."
Ning Qingyuan looked at his bicycle being repaired by his sister, and his mood became a little better: "I really can't see much difference, thank you sister."
"Brother, this little loss is worth it in exchange for a rabbit. We should be happy. This rabbit is destined to end up in the mouths of my brother and me."
Ning Xiyue pulled the rabbit's ears to comfort her second brother.
He then used his feet to pull up the grass pile half a meter in front of him, revealing a dry cave entrance.
Ning Qingyuan looked at the hole and nodded in understanding: "So there is a rabbit hole here, no wonder."
Ning Xiyue looked at the rabbit hole and made a reasonable guess: "I guess the rabbit just jumped out of the rabbit hole, and you happened to walk here and bumped into it. This shows that you are lucky."
"I have to admit that I'm quite lucky." Ning Qingyuan smiled proudly, "Sister, what do you think we should do with this rabbit? We have chicken tonight."
Ning Xiyue thought for a moment, pulled out a packet of drugs from her pocket, and suggested, "Why don't we knock it out first, take it home, and raise it until we can eat a roasted whole rabbit tomorrow?"
"Okay, let's do it."
Ning Qingyuan poured out some medicine powder and forced it into the rabbit's mouth. Within three seconds, the rabbit's feet became motionless and the whole rabbit fainted.
"Put it in my bag."
Ning Xiyue took the rabbit and stuffed it into the cloth bag, then put the bag into the basket in front of her, with the cloth bag strap tied to the basket to secure it.
"Done."
"It has to be you, sister." Ning Qingyuan gave a thumbs up, picked up the bicycle again, and said happily: "Let's go back."
"Um."
