Chapter 9: Apricot Yellow (7) (3)
In the entire Xinghua Village, the first person to know that Mao Xiang was going out was only Xingzai. Mao Xiang told Xingzi about his preparation to go out of the mountain more than ten days ago.
It was still unusually cold. The "whirring" mountain wind poured in from the Beishan Pass, swirling snow fragments that swept through the village unscrupulously all day long. The people who went out involuntarily tightened their cuffs and necks, and walked with difficulty in the streets and alleys of the village and in the fields outside the village.
At that time, Xingzi had just learned the trick of setting up a trap to catch mountain rabbits with Jing'er, and it was when his interest was high and he was full of addiction. As soon as he had nothing to do, he cracked the thin steel wires on a piece of wire rope one by one and straightened them to make a shiny live rabbit sleeve. Then he slipped out of the house and climbed the mountains and mountains to see the path of the hare. Dozens of sets can be set up in a day. Although there are quite a lot of sets, there is little gain. For most of the winter, I have only caught a few skinny rabbits. In Jing'er's words, a blind cat touching a dead mouse and a blind rabbit by mistake is not a real skill. Jing'er's words did not extinguish the greed and enthusiasm that had already boiled in Xingzai's heart, but aroused him to be even more enthusiastic and delusional. Xingzi is still studying the production method of rabbit traps day and night, thinking about how to set up traps and how to catch those fat and attractive hares.
That day, Xingzi went to the mountains to set up a set and inspect the harvest of the previous day. After walking around Beishan for most of the afternoon, I actually harvested two blind rabbits, one large and one small, that collided with me. This is a fruitful result that Apricot has never had since he learned to set rabbits. Xingzai was so happy that he forgot what his surname was, and scurried down the hill. He wanted Jing'er to see if it was the rabbit who blindly bumped into him, or if his skills had improved by leaps and bounds.
As soon as he ran to the foot of the mountain, he met Mao Xiang, carrying a large bundle of dry firewood to the village, and dragging a bundle of small ones in his hand. Xingzi rushed up and took the bundle of dry firewood in Mao Xiang's hand, and walked towards the village together. He also happily showed off the two hares in his hand, and told how he had seen the way of the rabbit, how he had cleverly set up a trap, and how the hare might have fallen into his trap voluntarily into his trap. As he spoke, his eyebrows fluttered, his voice was hoarse, and the stars splashed everywhere, as if he was arguing with someone.
Mao Xiang listened quietly, did not interject, and let him speak energetically, with a gentle smile on his face. This stimulates the apricot boy to show off. It wasn't until the entrance of the neighboring village that Mao Xiang said, let's rest, I also have something to tell you.
The two of them sat down in front of a shack in a yard near the roadside. Although there is a slight cold wind sneaking in, occasionally rolling in, and the scattered snow is still much warmer.
Mao Xiang said that Xingzi told you something. As long as you know, you can tell others.
Apricot was a little surprised, but nodded anyway.
Mao Xiang told Xingzi that in a few days, when the affairs of the family were settled, he would prepare to go out of the mountain to see if there was a suitable guy for him. This time he may be a month or two, or it may be a year and a half, and he can't tell when he will be able to come back.
Xingzi asked puzzled, do you have to go out, can't you go. -- by:daliineda|112213890361589729|536 -->
