CHAPTER 40

Following

An Xi got up from bed early in the morning and began to make all preparations for catching rabbits.

Yesterday, she promised Xiao Anxi to catch a cute little white rabbit as a pet for her, and today, Anxi wants to fulfill this promise.

In fact, Anxi doesn't know how to hunt, but he still wants to try it, what if he bumps into a rabbit with a stupid hat and picks it up? It's not impossible.

After a brief freshening up and talking to Mo, Anxi walked slowly towards the trail on the mountain.

This mountain is called Manxia Mountain, because every dusk, there is sunset on the clouds continuously.

Crimson clouds permeate the top of Manxia Mountain, giving it the feeling of a fairy's dwelling.

Everywhere the eye touches, there is a crimson smoke.

Manxia Mountain is also named after this.

On the trail to Manxia Mountain, there are not a few people.

Many people from the village come here to cut firewood or find some wild vegetables and herbs to sell.

When he was at home, no matter what time or festival, he often chopped firewood and picked wild fruits in Manxia Mountain.

Anxi, who was carrying a basket on his back, went up a steep slope out of breath.

At the corner, I found a mulberry tree, and the branches were full of bunches of fallen mulberries, red and purple, like jewels dotted on the leafy mulberry trees.

Anxi, who was a little tired, couldn't help but widen his eyes happily when he saw the fruit of the mulberry tree.

Hurriedly mustered up the strength and walked towards the mulberry tree, this is a small mulberry tree, about two meters high, compared with the big tree next to it, it looks more lolily.

Although he is short, he has a full fruit.

An Xi stood on tiptoe, stretched out his arms, picked a bunch of purple-red mulberries, and put them in his mouth, sweet and refreshing.

An Xi squinted his eyes and smiled sweetly, he was very satisfied, and picked a few more skewers to eat, thinking about picking some on the way back and going home for Mo and An Jiao to taste.

After eating a few bunches to quench his thirst temporarily, Anxi walked up the high slope ahead, where hares often haunted.

Take out the homemade cage prepared in the basket, and put the carrots and cabbage prepared in advance into the cage.

The method of making this small cage was obtained by Anxi asking Aunt Wu's son Zhuzi.

It's simple, but it should be useful, Anxi thought.

When everything was ready, Anxi hid the cage that caught the rabbit in the grass, which was a little high, and hid the cage.

An Xi lay on the edge of the big tree on the side of the more secluded, lying motionless, patiently waiting for the prey to take the bait.

Time passed like quicksand, and An Xi, who was hiding and hiding, was almost a little impatient.

"Gollum."

The stomach screamed unbreathlessly.

Anxi was a little depressed, it's been more than half an hour, and Tutu hasn't come yet???

The little hand secretly touched his belly, as if to appease it, don't bark, I know you're hungry, the key is that I'm hungry too, I should have some breakfast when I get up.

It's all on a whim......

Just as I was thinking about it, there seemed to be movement ahead.

An Xi hurriedly held his breath, kept his body still, and turned to slowly jump his breath, his eyes fixed on the front.

At the same time, I prayed in my heart that this stomach must be angry at this time and hold back! Don't shout!

Finally, Anxi saw the gray and white rabbits with four little short legs, sniffed their noses, and jumped to the cage she had arranged.

An Xi, who was hiding in the shadows, gradually curved a little bit at the corner of his lips, it seems that the rabbit has been fooled!

Two gray and white rabbits sniffed left and right at the cage door.

It seemed that the smell of carrots was becoming more and more obvious, and the white rabbit was the first to be fooled, jumping into the cage with one foot, and the two rabbit teeth bit the carrot and gnawed it.

The gray rabbit saw that the white rabbit was eating well, and was afraid that he would miss the delicious meal if he was one step late, and at the moment when the white rabbit jumped in, it also followed, puffed up his strength, and jumped into the cage to compete with the white rabbit for the carrot.

"Click"

Sensing the hook of the prey, the mechanism in the cage responded to the sound, only to hear a "click", and the cage door was attracted by the mechanism to shrink the gray and white rabbits into the cage.

The two little rabbits, who fell into the world of foodies, woke up slowly, and suddenly felt that the carrots in their mouths were not fragrant.

Clumsy riveted and banged his head against the cage door.

An Xi couldn't close his mouth with a smile, and he was not in a hurry, he slowly got up from the edge of the big tree, hummed a little song and walked towards the cage.

"Stupid little rabbit, stupid little rabbit, how can my aunt's cage be so easy to break free? But today I was really lucky to meet two greedy little fat rabbits. ”

An Xi didn't open the door of the cage either, just put the cage in the back basket, grabbed some grass to cover it, and then walked away satisfied.

Thinking that he had just arrived in the mulberry, Anxi was a little moved, and he went around twice to find a banana tree, picked up a few banana leaves under its roots, blew them, and blew them up to the dust.

Instead, he slowly came to the mulberry tree, picked a bunch of purple and dark purple mulberries and put them on the original prepared banana leaves and wrapped them.

Thinking of the help of the pillar, Anxi deliberately picked more more, so that she could send it to Aunt Wu when the time came, so that Aunt Wu's family could also taste it.

Anxi had a lot of fun picking and didn't feel tired at all, but her height was limited, and she couldn't pick it up any further.

In the end, under the whole mulberry tree, except for the top that could not be reached, there were some red ones that were not deep and purple enough, and the rest were wrapped in banana leaves by Anxi and put into the back basket.

Finally walked the longest and steepest slope, Anxi hurriedly had some soreness in his thighs and some numbness in his little feet.

Thinking that he would be home soon, he walked back slowly, without stopping a single step.

When she got home, Mo was weaving comfortable clothes in the house, and Xiao Anjiao was sitting on the steps with her chin in her hands and knees, looking very well-behaved.

There is some moss clinging to the stairs, and the grass color catches your eye.

Suddenly remembered Liu Yuxi's Burrow Ming, the moss marks are green, and the grass is green.

It is simple and simple, but it suddenly has a fresh and elegant feeling.

Anxi put down the basket and took out the wrapped mulberries again.

When Xiao Anjiao saw Anxi, she thought of the rabbit that Anxi promised her yesterday, and a light burst out in her eyes.

He got up from the steps and walked towards Anxi in a hurry.

Xiao Anjiao was a little excited and a little expectant.

Looking at the smiling An Xi, she leaned in and asked.

"Sister, did you catch a bunny?"

An Xi smiled at her and nodded, affirming.

"Of course, who is my sister, what I promised you will definitely be done, the rabbit is in the cage, come, eat this first, my sister picked it, it's delicious."

An Xi opened the wrapped banana leaves, and Xiao An Jiao looked at the purple and red fruits, and her eyes were a little excited.

"It's mulberries!"

An Xi smiled and picked up a dark purple one and put it in her mouth, and smiled and handed the big banana leaves in her hand with mulberries to Xiao Anjiao.

"Sister, go and send some to Brother Zhuzi, you can take this back to the house and eat it with your mother."

Seeing that Xiao Anjiao's other hand was still empty, Anxi took out two large banana leaves wrapped in mulberries from the back basket and gently put them into Xiao Anjiao's empty hand.

Xiao Anjiao nodded, and ran to the house.

"Mother, the mulberries picked by my sister are delicious, mother, you can eat them too."

Xiao Anjiao grabbed a purple-red mulberry and put it in front of Mo's mouth.

Mo stopped the busyness of his fingers, looked at the little daughter's face like a treasure, and she opened her mouth with a smile on her face to eat the mulberry.

"Mother, is it delicious?"

"It's delicious, Xiao Jiao'er is the most well-behaved, and if you have food, you will think of your mother."

The praised Xiao Anjiao was a little shy, but more happy.

The small pear vortex that bloomed appeared on her face from time to time, showing a sweet and delicate smile.

An Xi saw that her sister had gone into the house to share the mulberries with Mo's, so she gave the remaining three packets of mulberries to Aunt Wu's house.

After coming back, he cut the bamboo himself, and with the help of Xiao Anjiao, he cut the bamboo and made a fence.

Then he lifted up the cage covered with grass, and put the gray and white little fat rabbits into the pen and raised them in captivity.
