Well, Meimei is still here, he can't leave her alone, he's worried about her. Qinghua should be able to take care of Song Lili.
But little did Li Qinghua know that Zhang Qinghua's entire attention was focused on the rabbit running ahead, and he didn't notice anything happening behind him.
Because Li Qinghua was there, he felt at ease and never expected that Song Lili would suddenly run away with him.
Zhang Qinghua ran faster and faster. He had trained for the past three years to achieve this speed. If he didn't run fast enough, he might die. He could only keep pushing his limits.
Song Lili was also surprised at this moment. She did not expect that her body could run so fast, which could be described as being like a flying man.
Anyway, Song Lili had never seen anyone around her run so fast before, which surprised her again.
Suddenly I realized that Song Lili is a real treasure trove; who knows when she might reveal a skill that will delight us.
In just a month or so, she discovered that not only was he incredibly strong, but he also ran incredibly fast, like a whirlwind. The surrounding scenery almost became a blur.
After the initial surprise, she became eager to try it out. She wanted to see how fast she could go, so she quickened her pace.
Now, the surrounding scenery was truly blurry; Song Lili could only see the general outlines, and the specific details were unclear, which surprised her even more.
Seeing the swaying plants ahead, Song Lili chased after them. It was the path Zhang Qinghua had just run along. She was fast enough that she wasn't afraid of losing him.
Zhang Qinghua's eyes were like those of a hawk, fixed on the prey in front of him. No matter how the prey changed direction, it could not escape his gaze.
He hadn't expected this rabbit to be so fast, keeping him chasing it for so long. But he could also guess that it couldn't run before because people had eaten all the edible things like grass roots and tree bark, leaving animals with nothing to eat and no strength to run.
The days of hunger are over. Last year's harvest was decent, just enough to keep people alive. Naturally, no one ate grass roots, so the animals were much more energetic.
It was really exciting! It had been a long time since he had felt this exhilarating running. Zhang Qinghua wasn't in a hurry to catch the rabbit; he just ran after it, seemingly determined to exhaust it.
Song Lili stayed close to Zhang Qinghua the whole time, even after they had run quite a distance. She was just finding it difficult as she was expending a lot of energy.
Soon, Zhang Qinghua lost interest in continuing the cat-and-mouse game and voluntarily ended the chase.
He quickened his pace, and seeing that the rabbit had obviously slowed down a lot, he threw out the hemp rope that had been tied around his waist and was neatly coiled up.
The hemp rope itself is quite heavy, and when all of it is coiled together, the impact force is comparable to that of a stone.
The rabbit was hit on the head and back, and began to stagger, as if it were drunk. It soon swayed and fell to the ground.
Zhang Qinghua used all his strength in that strike; if it landed, it would definitely be a fatal blow, so this result was not unexpected.
Only after holding the rabbit in his hands did Zhang Qinghua finally show a slight smile. Now he could treat his family to a good meal.
Zhang Qinghua carefully wove a rope from wild grass and then tied the rabbit up to prevent it from escaping if it wasn't dead.
As he stood up to go back to find Song Lili and the others, he heard a rustling sound behind him—the sound of people walking on the grass.
Zhang Qinghua raised an eyebrow, surprised that Li Qinghua was much faster this time, catching up with him so quickly.
In the past, he would only see Li Qinghua panting on his way back, but this time he did well.
He didn't seem to care, picked up the tied-up rabbit, stood up without turning around, and said, "Not bad this time, keep it up..."
Song Lili was also not at ease at this moment, panting heavily. She was still thinking with her hands on her hips that she had finally caught up with "Li Qinghua" when she heard Zhang Qinghua's voice.
"What?" she asked instinctively, then realized Zhang Qinghua must be referring to her speed, and proudly raised her chin, "I think it's pretty good too. I didn't expect I had this skill."
Song Lili's silence was fine, but her voice startled Zhang Qinghua, who immediately looked up and turned around, his eyes still showing shock.
How could it be her? Isn't it Li Qinghua?
Seeing Zhang Qinghua's startled expression, Song Lili assumed that her sudden outburst had frightened the focused Zhang Qinghua and felt somewhat embarrassed.
"Were you startled? I'm sorry." Thinking that she herself would be startled if she were alone in the wild and suddenly heard a sound, she didn't consider anything else.
Zhang Qinghua stared at Song Lili, speechless. It took him a while to recover. His first reaction was to lower his head. He swallowed hard several times before finally saying, "No."
Song Lili didn't understand what Zhang Qinghua meant by "not," because she saw the rabbit Zhang Qinghua was holding, but didn't know if it was dead or alive.
"Wow...you actually caught that rabbit? You're amazing! You even managed to catch a rabbit, that's incredible!"
Overcome with excitement, Song Lili rushed over and hugged Zhang Qinghua, jumping and patting his back to vent her excitement.
But Zhang Qinghua froze, as stiff as a piece of wood, his mind ablaze with a chaotic explosion of emotions.
Countless emotions surged within him, yet his face betrayed no trace of them. Of course, if Li Qinghua were here, he would have discerned something from his clenched fists.
Song Lili was too excited and just did it according to her usual habits, without noticing anything wrong with it.
