Chapter 19: Rabbits in the Forest
Even when she was admitted to a good university and needed money, the two of them avoided her like the plague, and when she was sick, they could not be contacted.
Xiang Yu has almost let it go after growing up. From now on, he will just treat them as strangers, as long as they don't bother him.
"What are you talking about? I'm your mother and you're my flesh and blood. Didn't your grandmother teach you how to talk? You're so uneducated."
Xiang Yu's eyes darkened and he walked towards Wu Yue, "You...what are you going to do?" Wu Yue's voice trembled, blaming Xiang Yu's eyes for being too terrifying at the moment.
With a clang, the gate of the neighboring grandmother's house opened, and two figures walked out of the house, followed by three little kids.
"Xiang Yu, why haven't you come into the house yet so late?" Uncle Xiang's voice came. In the dark night, a figure walked towards her with an umbrella in his hand.
Judging from his figure, it should be Xiang Yi.
Seeing this, Wu Yue turned around and ran to the path on the right. Xiang Yu watched her leaving with cold eyes. Wu Yue probably missed her and might come over again in the near future.
"If you have anything to say, just shout next door," Xiang Yi was standing next to Xiang Yu. He didn't see clearly who was looking for Xiang Yu just now.
But it is normal for Xiang Yu, a single girl, to be targeted in the current environment.
"Thank you, but I can handle it myself," Xiang Yu kept in mind the care her great-grandmother and her family had given her.
Not long after Wu Yue left, a flashlight light appeared on the path in the field, which showed that Wu Yue did not come alone.
Xiang Yi has become accustomed to Xiang Yu's distant attitude. It seems that she can talk to everyone in the village, but in fact, she is very distant from everyone and her attitude is very cold.
After not clearing the snow, Xiang Yu ran to the back mountain every day. Even though the heavy snow buried half of the mountain, the villagers still continued to go up the mountain.
Half of the trees on the back mountain have been cut down. Some time ago, they didn’t even want the small branches, but after the power outages started in the village.
They dug out even the roots of the trees.
He exercised at home in the morning and went to the mountain to cut trees in the afternoon. Near dusk, Xiang Yu met Xiang Cheng and his two friends.
The three of them were squatting in a snow pit, tinkering with something. After dark, the villagers on the mountain returned home one after another. At this time, only Xiang Yu and Xiang Cheng were left on the mountain.
The little boy was holding some green vegetable leaves in his hand, with his backpack half leaning against a tree stump. After the three of them had done everything, they hid in the snow pit and dug up some snow to cover their bodies.
Xiang Yu watched the actions of several people, and soon a white figure came running towards him from the snow pile nearby. Xiang Yu's pupils dilated instantly.
Even though the white figure was moving very fast, Xiang Yu could still see clearly what it was. It was a rabbit, and a fat one at that.
"It ran away, it ran away," half of the vegetables in Xiang Cheng's hand were taken away, and the rabbit was very fast and disappeared in a flash.
The three men came out of the snow pit and chased the rabbit. Xiang Yu grabbed the pile of dry firewood beside him, spotted the rabbit's escape route, and threw it hard.
"Squeak~~," the rabbit was hit by the dry firewood and fell directly to the ground and fainted. Rabbits are the most timid animals.
Even if you scare it a little, it can be scared to death.
Xiang Cheng and the other two looked at the dry firewood that fell beside the rabbit and turned their heads in surprise, "Sister Xiang Yu, you are too amazing."
The three men held the rabbit's long ears and walked to Xiang Yu.
"Sister Xiang Yu, you hit this one, so we don't want it," Xiang Cheng looked painful. Xiang Yu took the rabbit from his hand. This kid is quite principled.
"This is not just my credit. You also set a trap to confuse it. Let's split it equally," Xiang Yu took out an axe and was about to split it equally.
The three saw that Xiang Yu was not lying, and after looking at each other, they said, "Sister Xiang Yu, we don't want them, you can take them all, but can you teach us how to hunt rabbits?"
The three of them looked at Xiang Yu with shining eyes. Xiang Yu's move just now was so brilliant that they didn't even see how she did it, and the rabbit fainted.
"Sister Xiang Yu, actually we found a nest of rabbits here the day before yesterday. We tried to catch them for three days but couldn't catch any. Can you teach us how to catch them?"
"A litter of rabbits," Xiang Yu immediately became interested. Rabbits have a strong reproductive capacity. If he could catch two and raise them, he would never have to worry about having rabbit meat to eat in the future.
The mountain must have been blocked by heavy snow recently, and the rabbits couldn't find food, so they went down the mountain.
Xiang Yu promised the three people to teach them how to catch rabbits, and made an appointment with them to meet here at three o'clock the next afternoon.
The next afternoon, Xiang Yu took out the compound bow she had purchased on the website from her space. This bow cost her tens of thousands of dollars at the time.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, everyone was busy transporting firewood back home, so naturally no one paid attention to Xiang Yu and the children.
"Sister Xiang Yu, is this the bow and arrow mentioned in the book? It looks so cool," Xiang Cheng and his two friends looked at Xiang Yu excitedly.
Xiang Cheng and his two companions brought a slingshot and led Xiang Yu to the back mountain. "Sister Xiang Yu, this is where we found the rabbit."
Xiang Yu squatted down and reached into the snow with his gloved hands. After digging a snow pit, he found some rabbit footprints inside.
Even every one meter or so in the snow, you can see a small snow pit, which is the mark formed by rabbits jumping on the snow.
The three of them observed Xiang Yu's movements. "Shh," Xiang Yu put his index finger to his lips, and the three of them slowed down their breathing.
Following the marks left on the snow, the four of them walked all the way into the mountains.
After passing two pine trees, Xiang Yu subconsciously raised his hand to gesture to the three people behind him. Although the three people didn't understand, they still carefully hid behind Xiang Yu.
Xiang Yu took the compound bow off her shoulder and put the arrow on it. During the years when she lived in the apocalyptic world and there were no guns, the compound bow was her favorite weapon.
Xiang Cheng and the other two followed Xiang Yu's gaze and soon found three rabbits sleeping in the snow pit.
"So fat," Xiang Cheng muttered softly.
With a whoosh, the arrow in Xiang Yu's hand flew out instantly. Due to the close distance and the full force, the arrow directly pierced through the two rabbits.
The remaining one woke up, jumped high, and ran towards the forest. Its snow-white figure soon disappeared in the snow.
"Sister Xiang Yu, we hit two of them," Xiang Cheng and the other two walked to the edge of the snow pit. The rabbit was still struggling. Xiang Yu stepped forward, tightly grasped the bow and arrow in one hand, and pulled it out with force. The rabbit was dead instantly.
He put the rabbit directly into Xiang Cheng's backpack, and then "Let's go," Xiang Yu led the three of them to chase the runaway rabbit.
This time Xiang Yu did not use a compound bow, but taught them to use slingshots. The three of them also filled their bags with stones.
