Chapter 0032: The Story of Waiting for the Rabbit
Seeing that Old John was so surprised, Xu Xiaoyu was very curious, thinking that there was something unbelievable over there, so he looked over.
In fact, there was nothing going on over there, that is, Ann Lina came out of the house, but, in her hand, she was carrying something.
This thing is nothing else, it is a basket with a big fat rabbit in it!
Old John scratched Bai Huahua's hair, frowned and said, "Xu, An Lina must have found some clues, otherwise why would she suddenly think of taking the rabbit to the city together?" β
"We have an old Chinese saying, which is called 'Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief'." Xu Xiaoyu joked to him: "You are suddenly so good to An Lina, it is normal for her to be suspicious." β
"Xu, you're talking nonsense." Old John rolled his eyes and said solemnly: "What do you mean that I am suddenly so good to An Lina, I have always been good to her!" Conscience of heaven and earth! The sun and the moon can be seen! β
"Well, I was wrong about that." Xu Xiaoyu shrugged his shoulders, learned from An Linna's tone, and teased: "Oh, John, what's wrong with your eyes?" β
"My eyes?" Old John was stunned, but now he finally realized that it was because of his own complacency, which exposed the horse's feet, and suddenly showed an embarrassed smile, and seemed to think of something, and hurriedly said: "By the way, Xu, how did you catch this rabbit?" β
"Have you ever heard that we have an idiom in China called guarding the plant and waiting for the rabbit?" Xu Xiaoyu teased him, he found that it was a very interesting thing to make a salty joke with Old John, entertaining others and entertaining the public.
"Waiting for the rabbit?" Old John thought for a moment and shook his head.
"I know the story of waiting for the rabbit, Ning told me it before, and then I saw it in books."
At this time, An Lina came over, and she said with a smile: "That is to say, there was a farmer in ancient China, one day he went to work in the field, and when he passed through a forest, he alarmed a rabbit, and this rabbit ran and ran and ran and ran and ran, and hit the tree and died!" The farmer was very happy to find a big rabbit for nothing. So he stopped planting, he stopped ploughing, he didn't do anything anymore, and he sat by the tree every day, waiting for the rabbit to hit the tree......"
After An Lina finished speaking, she asked Xu Xiaoyu: "Xu, why did you suddenly mention waiting for the rabbit?" β
Xu Xiaoyu pointed to the basket in her hand and said, "Isn't this rabbit the result of waiting for the rabbit." β
Old John's eyes lit up, and he guessed that he thought he was very clever: "You mean, this rabbit crashed into the woods of the pasture and happened to be picked up by you?" β
"John, you are really too smart and too smart, the 28 horses don't let you be the general staff, it's really a loss for the entire American empire!" Xu Xiaoyu praised nonsense: "As you said, this rabbit is exactly what I picked up when I went for a walk in the woods in the morning, was frightened, knocked unconscious on the trunk of the tree." β
Originally, Xu Xiaoyu's version of the story was that last night many herbivores surrounded the vegetable patch, coveting the fresh vegetable seedlings in the wire fence, and went to drive them away, but a rabbit panicked, crashed into the post of the cabin, fainted, and was picked up dead fish by himself.
Now Old John's naΓ―ve speculation is more in line with the script of 'Waiting for the Rabbit', so he will naturally use him, anyway, isn't he the one who amuses this thing?
"I've won awards, Xu, what you said is too much of an award." may have thought that because he had just gotten carried away, Anlena had insight into his plan, so Old John was rarely humble this time.
"John, you're too modest." Xu Xiaoyu smiled slightly.
An Lina didn't believe the script 'original' by Xu Xiaoyu and 'adapted' by Old John, and asked, "What you said is true, Xu?" β
Xu Xiaoyu said: "An Linna, I suggest that you go for a walk in the ranch woods in your free time, maybe one day, you will have such good luck." As he spoke, he said with a smile: "But I'm afraid that one day if you really pick up a rabbit that has crashed into a tree, you will learn from the farmer in the fable of 'Waiting for the Rabbit'." β
Old John chuckled.
An Lina had already seen that Xu Xiaoyu was making things up, and glanced at him with a smile: "Go, you just learned from that stupid farmer...... Alright, we're leaving, and I'll leave lunch to you, but I'm looking forward to coming back to a table of sumptuous dishes, just like the rabbit when I opened the door this morning...... As for the herd of cattle and sheep, you don't have to worry about it, Willy and Nick, who will take care of Haode with their companions...... If it's going to rain on another day, you ride Ricky and help them drive the sheep and cattle into the pen. β
"Don't worry, I wish you all a good time." Xu Xiaoyu smiled and shook his head, but there were a few black lines on his forehead, everyone else is a dog to assist people, and when they come to me, they will become human assistance dogs? Oh, it seems that I have time in the future, and I need to learn the experience of herding from old John Ann Lina.
Anlina smiled, opened the car door and sat down, old John looked at the basket she put under her feet, and said, "Anlena, what are you doing with this rabbit?" It smells weird in the carriage. β
"Drive your car, don't think I don't know what kind of intrigue you're playing!" Anlena glared at him.
"Intrigues? I've been honest and kind all my life, and this annoying word has anything to do with me? Old John muttered unconvinced.
When Xu Xiaoyu heard his words, he couldn't help laughing, this old man's face was really getting thicker and thicker.
"Let's drive." An Lina didn't bother to pay attention to him anymore, and waved her hand to Xu Xiaoyu: "BAY." β
"Xu, I'll leave everything to you." Old John made a sad face, pun intended, and waved his hand: "BAY." β
βBAYγβ
Xu Xiaoyu also waved goodbye, looking at Old John's virtue, listening to his words, Xu Xiaoyu really couldn't help but think about daxiao, and when Old John's Chevrolet was gone, he laughed out loud, this old man, it's really funny!
An Lina took the rabbit away, which did not affect Xu Xiaoyu's cooking of rabbit meat at noon, he took out the bow and crossbow from the pickup truck, and went to the stable to take out the Quart White Marichie.
After these days of getting along, the relationship between people and horses has become very harmonious.
Xu Xiaoyu took the bow and crossbow, turned over on the horse, and galloped towards the cabin, his riding skills became much more exquisite and proficient under the guidance of old John, and he was no longer like when he first came to Jinshan Ranch, sitting on horseback like a piece of wood.
From a relatively long distance, Xu Xiaoyu saw more than a dozen small herbivores outside the vegetable subway wire mesh, drooling in the vegetable patch.
Xu Xiaoyu asked Ruiqi to stop, dismounted, and quietly touched there under the cover of the grass alone.
When you are about 100 meters away from a fat hare, raise your bow, aim, and shoot!
Practicing the "Mind Cultivation Technique" has benefited Xu Xiaoyu a lot, including eyesight, his arrow accurately hit the target's head!
The target screams and falls to the ground and dies!
The movement alarmed the other herbivores, and they scattered in all directions, including a big gray rabbit, which ran wildly towards the hut.
Rabbits are very agile animals, and things like 'waiting for the rabbit' will of course only happen in fables. As for the moral of this story, it is both simple and thought-provoking.
