063 Floating Clouds and Dark Sun (3)
After catching the first rabbit in my life, I walked for more than ten days. Under the afterglow, a majestic and magnificent mountain range gradually appeared in my field of vision.
No matter how difficult the road is, it will eventually come to an end. My mother told me this very early. However, when I finally got out of the woods, I was so happy that I almost jumped on her.
"Look, mother, there are so many trees!"
"I've seen it. Just be calm. It's still some distance there. Rush there now. Once it gets dark, you might be eaten. Just rest here."
After hearing this, my originally good mood instantly turned into disappointment, but I knew the truth behind it, and I was already close at hand, so I wasn't in a hurry for this night.
I pretended to be disappointed and slowly swayed to my mother's side. When I was about to get closer, I suddenly raised my head, laughed and rushed forward, hugging her feet tightly.
She struggled twice, but still couldn't take a step. I laughed even more heartily, tried my best to drag her back, and refused to let go no matter what.
"Okay, Shuangxuan, I surrender."
When I heard her say surrender, I let go of my hand, raised it high again, and said, "Carry me."
My mother leaned down and picked me up. Before I could react, she put me down again.
"I'll go look for a place to sleep, and then I'll play with you after I finish my work."
This kind of thing usually leads to nothing. I can never finish a series of things, and it doesn't matter if I have time left. I have never been in the habit of being entangled, so I just turn around and go on my own.
When I first stopped here, I noticed several suspected rabbit nests around me. Although it was not yet time for them to go out, I might be lucky enough to catch them.
These days, together with my mother, I have accumulated some experience.
I walked around the area several times, and after several decisions, I finally chose a location in the shade. There were more than a dozen holes on this side. The sand outside the hole was mixed with rocks, just like the scabs on my body, dry and dry.
It's so fragile that it becomes a piece when you peel it off.
If there is something in it, it is most likely a snake. No matter what, the snake will eat it anyway.
I found many small stones to block the entrance of the cave, and covered it tightly with soil, leaving only one exit. This was probably a stupid idea. According to my mother, it all depends on luck.
I picked up a handy piece of firewood and stood guard outside the cave. I thought to myself that this was just a game played when I was bored. It didn't matter what the outcome was, but I stared at it intently for most of an hour.
The sun had already set, the sky was gray, and the field of view was very limited, so I gave up, but in the end I was still unwilling to lie down at the entrance of the cave and look inside, thinking of taking one last look.
Wow.
As soon as he got closer, there was a lot of movement in the cave, and something flashed past.
Snakes don't make such a big movement. Apart from rabbits, we didn't see any other animals along the way, so that's probably it.
"Mother!"
I shouted loudly, wanting to call my mother for help. Before I could respond, a little head popped up at the entrance of the cave. My eyes never changed. While it looked at me cautiously, the wooden stick in my hand had already
fell heavily on its head.
With this blow, the wooden stick immediately broke into two halves. At the same time, accompanied by a scream, the whole thing rolled out, and it was a rabbit.
While I was happy, there was another sound coming from the cave, and something else! My mind was burning, so I hurriedly stuffed the two pieces of firewood into the hole, and in a panic, I stuffed everything I could pick up in.
When hunting, there is no need to think too much. Most of the actions are instinctive reactions. Now that all the cave entrances are blocked, I can at least feel at ease. If there are other cave entrances that I have not discovered, there is nothing I can do.
I was about to breathe a little, when suddenly there was a lot of movement from the entrance of another cave. The soil covering the entrance of the cave was moving out little by little. Did I think highly of rabbits in the past? Wasn't this a trap for me?
I looked around several times, picked up a hard stone, walked to the entrance of the cave, and when the prey came to the door, I smashed it down hard.
The two rabbits are not small in size, and there may be more inside. But at this moment, I can’t wait to run to my mother and show her my rich achievements.
Not far away, a fire light appeared and disappeared, and she arrived belatedly.
"What did you call me for just now?"
I rushed over without saying anything, the answer was already reflected in her eyes.
"Wow, I just set up the resting place, and you caught it before I even had time to find food."
After hearing this, I couldn't help but feel happy, after all, I had been looking forward to it.
"Let's go back."
…
I rested earlier than usual today, and I didn't waste much time on hunting. Therefore, I had a rare free time to play with my mother until I was exhausted. I lay on the flat ground and looked up at the endless sky. This feeling is amazing. You can see it when you raise your head.
, but rarely in memory.
"When I go in there tomorrow, I'm going to eat a whole deer until I'm exhausted, haha."
"What if there are no deer?"
"Hmm...then whatever you want, you can eat whatever you catch. Eat enough in one go. Where are you, mother?"
"I'm fine with it, whatever you catch is whatever it is, as long as it's not a rabbit."
"Ha ha ha ha…"
The little rabbit is simply not enough.
Looking back, the road I took these days was really strange. There were endless traces of various beasts, but there was no trace of them.
Either they were hiding too well, or they left not long ago.
I don't remember if I have encountered this kind of situation before. If it is the latter, I can roughly guess the reason.
It's possible that they encountered an unpredictable danger, so they evacuated on such a large scale. I don't know about those rabbits, and maybe there are ways to avoid them.
