Chapter 49: The Rabbit

"Sister, let's go down, maybe we remember the wrong place, it's too high to come up today, in case we encounter a wild boar, it's over." Qi Shixiang said, "I'll ask Brother Lobby in the afternoon, they must know that they have been chopping wood." ”

Qi Shiyi echoed, "Second sister is right, eldest sister, let's go down, it's the first time we have run so high, if you let my brother know, we will definitely be said." ”

Modern mountains are all low, and the ones Qi Jiuli has been to have been developed into tourist attractions, so I never felt that there was much danger in the mountains.

However, nature is awe-inspiring, Qi Jiuli listened to Qi Shixiang and Qi Shiyi's words, saw the worried and scared looks on their faces, immediately nodded in agreement, and made a decision, it will definitely not come up so high in the future.

The three of them returned the same way, but they didn't take a few steps before they heard the sound of "Xisuo Xisuo", Qi Jiuli's expression was overwhelming, and he immediately opened his hands to stop Qi Shixiang and Qi Shiyi behind him.

"Don't move." Qi Jiuli said in a low voice, beckoning the two to move slowly to a slightly flat place, leaning against the big tree with their backs, and standing in front of the two of them again, his eyes fixed on the direction of the sound, and raised the machete in his hand.

Don't look at Qi Jiuli's posture, with a fearless look, but she was panicked in her heart, she wouldn't be so unlucky to meet a wild boar, she regretted it very much at this time, she shouldn't have blindly gone up the mountain to find any pine trees, she has a big heart, and she also affects her younger brothers and sisters behind her.

"If it's a wild boar, I'll stop it with a machete, and you two will immediately go down the mountain to find someone to help me." Qi Jiuli whispered, and Qi Shixiang and Qi Shiyi nervously clenched the edge of Qi Jiuli's jacket.

"I'm not leaving." Qi Shiyi replied.

"Silly ......" Qi Jiuli was consciously silent as soon as he said a word, because a gray arc instantly came into view, Qi Jiuli instinctively swung the knife, as if playing baseball, and slapped the gray shadow away with the knife surface, and his hands hurt a little after patting.

The gray shadow parabola fell to the ground, twitching on the ground, Qi Jiuli opened her round mouth, her heart beat faster, she seemed to have killed.

"Wow - it turned out to be a rabbit." Qi Shixiang quickly stepped forward and lifted the ears of the gray rabbit with both hands, and the rabbit kicked his legs, all in vain.

Qi Shiyi was also excited, "This rabbit is not small, it has to be five catties." ”

"I'm a little struggling to carry, it must weigh more than five pounds, about seven pounds." Qi Shixiang said excitedly, "Sister, you are really amazing, you shoot fast and accurately." ”

Qi Jiuli twitched the corners of her mouth, she didn't want such a compliment very much, "You're not dead, are you?" ”

"No, look at how happy this little leg is." Qi Shixiangle said, "Although I didn't find a pine tree, there is a big harvest, how can rabbit meat alone be sold for hundreds of copper coins, and this intact rabbit skin can be much more expensive." ”

"You know that, too?" Qi Jiuli asked curiously.

"The people in the village who caught pheasants and hares, they all went to the town to sell, and when they came back, they were happy to say, pheasants and hares are all on the mountain, and this copper coin is generally picked up for nothing, and the village will always look for it when they have the strength to go up the mountain to chop wood, and if they are lucky enough to catch it, they will make a lot of money." Qi Shixiang smiled so much that he couldn't see his teeth.

"Even if you don't sell it, you can let a whole family taste the meat, and many people in the village will always wander around the periphery of the mountain."

"But even if you have a lot of strength, you may not be able to catch the hare, because the hare can run fast, and the 'Xiu Xiu' will run without a shadow, so my sister is really amazing, just like this, I caught it all of a sudden." Qi Shixiang looked at Qi Jiuli with admiration on her face.

Qi Shiyi too, Qi Jiuli was a little helpless and funny, "Then let's go down quickly, I can still shoot the hare, the wild boar is coming, we can only run for our lives." ”

"Yes, yes." Qi Shixiang and Qi Shiyi followed Qi Jiuli, and the three of them quickly moved down the mountain.

"Wow, Toka, what about the rabbit in your hand?" Halfway through, I met my peers who were picking wild vegetables, and everyone was surprised to see the gray rabbit in Qi Shixiang's hand, after all, it was meat.

"Well, my sister caught it." Qi Shixiang said proudly, as if the person who caught the rabbit was herself.

"What, Jiuli caught it." Many people in the village couldn't believe it.

"It's just a matter of luck." Qi Jiuli said flatly.

"I'll tell you, my sister slapped the rabbit away with such a slapper, and the rabbit was dizzy, so we grabbed it." Qi Shixiang's eyes were shining, and he explained.

"Flying with a machete?"

When Qi Jiuli and the three of them returned home, they put the rabbit in the bamboo basket, threw some wild vegetables into it and covered it, and took it to the town to sell it when they were going to sell charcoal.

When Chi Lingmiao heard it, he came to the door as soon as he heard it, and before he reached the door, he shouted in a loud voice, "Jiuli, Jiuli-"

Qi Jiuli ran to open the door, and called with a smile, "Auntie." ”

"Are you alright?" Chi Lingmiao held Qi Jiuli's shoulders with both hands and looked back and forth several times.

Qi Jiuli was a little stunned, "What's the matter?" ”

"Did you go up the mountain?" Ji Lingmiao asked with a calm face.

Qi Jiuli choked and touched his nose embarrassedly, "I wanted to cut some pine branches." ”

"It turned out to be a rabbit." Chi Lingmiao said.

Qi Jiuli was a little surprised, "How did the eldest aunt know?" ”

"It's all over the place." Chi Lingmiao glared at Qi Jiuli, "You are not allowed to go up the mountain next time, if you want to go, you must have your brother or your uncle follow them together, how old are the three of you, in case you encounter something big, what is it." ”

"Not next time." Qi Jiuli reassured.

"Auntie, come and see, the eldest one." Qi Shixiang came out and saw that Chi Lingmiao was busy pulling people to see the hare in the basket, the gray rabbit was eating wild vegetables, and when he saw the person approaching, he stopped the movement in his mouth, and felt that he was not here to hurt himself, so he started eating again.

"Hey, that's big." Chi Lingmiao was also happy when she saw it, "When I go to sell charcoal, take it to the town, the game is very good to sell." ”

"Auntie, that's what we planned." Qi Shixiang nodded in agreement.

"Jiuli, I heard that you shot a rabbit, where are you?" Feng Diehua walked quickly, with a sense of joy under her feet, and saw Qi Jiuli at the gate, and couldn't wait to ask, "Oh, I'm worried that your fifth and sixth cousins have finally come to their house, what should I do to make up for them, I heard that you caught a big fat rabbit." ”

"By the way, your grandfather and they should have brought you delicious food when they came yesterday, and the rabbit will be given to your fifth cousin to eat, and the aunt will not ask you for nothing, and you don't have to pay back the copper money you owe before." Feng Diehua said with a smile.

"Yo, the third brother and sister are here." When Chi Lingmiao heard Feng Diehua's voice, she got up and walked out.
