The Siheyuan of the Young Educated Youth

Qi Feifei and Chang Lihua walked back while digging wild vegetables.

Suddenly, there was a loud roar as if the camp had exploded.

"Quick, quick, quick, here, here..."

“Ah~ah~ah~run away, run away!”

"Block it quickly, block it quickly."

"Oh! Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

"Chase, chase, chase, quickly..."

……

Qi Feifei and Chang Lihua stopped digging wild vegetables and ran back with their baskets to see what they were catching.

When Qi Fei arrived, Liu Yuejin was blocking a hole next to the tree roots, and Wang Weiguang was shouting,

"Chen Jiwu, check if there is any hole nearby, quickly."

He also ran around.

They say a cunning rabbit has three burrows, so there must be at least three holes, right?

Qi Feifei, "What are you doing?"

Liu Yuejin said excitedly, "We just saw a rabbit run out from here, there must be more in the hole."

Qi Feifei, "I'll stay here, go cut some wormwood and bring it to me."

Chang Lihua put down the basket of wild vegetables and went to pick up hay, rotten leaves and so on.

Soon the three men started a fire at the entrance of the cave.

Qi Feifei asked Liu Yuejin to use his hat to fan the smoke inside.

"You two stay here and watch. Burn more."

Qi Feifei went around to look for other cave entrances.

Light a fire here, and after a while smoke will come out of the other hole.

Qi Feifei looked around and saw white smoke slowly coming out from under a fallen tree.

Qi Feifei ran over quickly, if he was slower the rabbit would have escaped.

As soon as Qi Feifei arrived, a big gray rabbit jumped out. Qi Feifei kicked it without even waiting to see it clearly.

The rabbit was kicked several meters away, and rolled onto the grass. The kick hit its hindquarters with such force that its waist was broken, but it was not dead yet. It kept scratching the ground with its front legs, trying to escape.

Liu Yuejin wanted to come over when he heard the noise.

Qi Feifei shouted, "Keep the fire going and fan the smoke in."

Liu Yuejin took a step forward and then stepped back, squatting down to continue making the fire, fanning it vigorously with his tattered hat.

Chang Lihua ran over happily to pick up the rabbit.

On the other side, smoke was also coming out from under a rotten tree stump. Wang Weiguang and Chen Jiwu ran there together.

Wang Weiguang took off his cotton jacket while running, held it in both hands, and knelt on one knee beside the cave entrance, waiting for the rabbit to come out and pounce on it.

After a while, another rabbit came out from Qi Feifei's side. This time Qi Feifei was prepared. As soon as it came out of the cave and jumped up with its hind legs, Qi Feifei was quick-eyed and quick-handed and grabbed the rabbit's ear.

The rabbit was hit hard against the fallen tree trunk and fainted immediately.

Immediately afterwards, a rabbit also ran out from Wang Weiguang's side, and he threw himself on the ground with his cotton jacket.

Chen Jiwu also rushed over to cover it, and the rabbit kept struggling under his cotton-padded jacket.

Neither of them dared to withdraw their hands, and they got on all fours, covering themselves with their cotton-padded jackets.

When Chang Lihua heard that there were rabbits over there, she ran over to help.

Just as they arrived at the place, another rabbit jumped out of the hole, jumped up, stepped on Wang Weiguang's back and jumped over.

Chang Lihua was so scared that she screamed "Oh my God!" and instinctively covered her face and squatted down to avoid the rabbit, which jumped over her head.

Wang Weiguang also instinctively reached out to catch the jumping rabbit.

Not only did he fail to catch it, but this thing also popped out from inside his cotton-padded jacket.

Fortunately, Chen Jiwu came with a big move and knocked the rabbit directly under his body.

After a while, no more rabbits came out.

Qi Feifei hung three rabbits on a tree and skinned them all.

Several people came over to watch and learn, each of them looking at it intently.

The rabbits in spring are not fat, but they are still meat, and everyone is very happy.

Especially for Wang Weiguang and his brothers, this is much better than stealing a chicken. To steal a chicken, you have to wander around for several days and find the right opportunity, and you may get beaten if you are not careful.

Let’s catch three this time. If I don’t make any mistakes, I should be able to catch four.

Just thinking about a big pot of rabbit meat makes me want to laugh.

Hey hey! Slurp! So delicious!

After taking care of the rabbits, I cut some hazelwood and tree branches.

Qi Feifei and a few others built a horse rack with firewood, and each person carried several bundles of firewood. Chang Lihua carried a basket of wild vegetables and a rabbit, and they returned home with a full load.

On the way, Chang Lihua was still full of regret.

"If I had grabbed him directly, I might have hugged him. I was just stupid at the time and didn't understand."

Wang Weiguang comforted her, "Your reaction is normal. I just reached out to grab it, and almost let the rabbit run away. You have to go back to Chen Jiwu, otherwise you will lose another rabbit."

After catching rabbits, Chang Lihua and Wang Weiguang became familiar with each other.

It's no longer like when we came, where no one spoke and everyone stayed far away.

Qi Feifei also said, "I had no experience in catching them for the first time, but I will get better after catching them a few more times.

Now is not the season to catch rabbits. They are too thin and their fur is not good. Rabbits are fat in the early winter and their fur is thick and smooth. "

Several people were eager to try and decided to go up the mountain to catch rabbits when winter came.

Must follow Qi Feifei.

Several people were interested in Qi Feifei's hunting.

Everyone was talking about this and that.

Qi Feifei is not a person who likes to brag and show off, and most of her fighting experience cannot be told to outsiders.

"Aren't you tired of carrying firewood? Go home quickly. I'll tell you more later when I have the chance."

Qi Feifei quickened his pace and walked forward.

She carries the most and walks the fastest.

Several young men quickened their pace and chased after him, each of them sweating profusely from exhaustion.

His complexion was better than before, no longer sallow but with a rosy glow.

When they arrived at Liu Yuejin's house, several people's cotton-padded jackets were wet and their legs were sore.

When Qi Feifei arrived, he went into the house to check Liu Yong's injuries.

It was quite obedient and didn't move around. It was a little calmer than in the morning.

"Take your medicine well and take good care of yourself."

Qi Feifei shouted outside again, "Liu Yuejin, Liu Yuejin."

Liu Yuejin was still outside talking to a few of his brothers about catching rabbits for Cai Ergou. He was so excited when he heard Qi Feifei calling and hurried in.

"Take some time to clean up your boxes. Cut him another piece of cloth like this, wash it, and replace this one with yours.

Be careful when you pack it. Never mind. I'll come over after get off work tomorrow to change it for him."

Liu Yuejin responded seriously. Now Qi Feifei was their "God". He would listen to whatever she said and carry it out seriously.

"The room is clean, wash the quilt if you have nothing to do."

Life is like living in a pigsty!

“Pick new wooden clips for the outside of the stick. If they are not enough, use the ones removed from the old stick.

It is also OK to use hazelwood or tree branches in the yard, which will save firewood.

Will it? Nail a few wooden stakes in the middle and use straw ropes to block it, it will be stronger. "

Liu Yuejin nodded in response.

After Qi Feifei finished giving the instructions, he left two rabbits for them, took one, and went back to Chang's house with Chang Lihua.

Aunt Chang was standing outside the yard chatting with a neighbor auntie. When she saw Chang Lihua and Qi Feifei coming back, she stopped chatting and came over to take the rabbit from Qi Feifei's hand.

Qi Feifei handed it to her without hesitation.

Aunt Chang's joy was tinged with a hint of guilt that she wanted to hide but couldn't.

Qi Feifei noticed it keenly.

What happened?
