Chapter 1370: Trap and Rabbit
Having said this, the girl took a deep breath.
In fact, the previous ones are just preparations.
She couldn't help but talk a lot.
However, she glanced at the boy opposite her, and she felt somewhat relieved and somewhat disappointed at his silence.
The conflicting feelings made her frown.
She gripped the umbrella handle even tighter in her hands.
Even after sitting down she did not put her umbrella aside.
The umbrella in her hand gave her a sense of security.
……
She had deliberately forgotten that incident for a long time, but now when she talked about it, she found that she still remembered it clearly.
The girl couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Sorry, I was a little distracted..."
……
Children have no scruples when they go crazy.
At first they just explored the woods and played hide-and-seek.
Later, someone brought a trap, saying that he wanted to catch wild animals.
Everyone is very excited.
Several traps were snatched away by the children.
Because the girl was a visitor from the city, she was also given a trap.
The girl was curious and eager to try something she had only heard of when it appeared before her eyes.
……
The children worked in groups, spread out to set traps, and then competed to see who could catch the prey? Who caught the more powerful prey?
The girl followed the brother and sister into the depths of the woods.
When it comes to familiarity with the forest and knowledge about hunting, the girl is naturally far inferior to her brother and sister who have been playing in the forest since they were very young.
She kept watching the brother and sister's every move with curiosity.
Watching them set up the traps skillfully, I felt eager to try it myself.
Seeing this, the brother and sister said that they would let her do the decoration next time.
The girl's eyes were surprisingly bright.
……
After dinner, the girl, who was still thinking about the traps, asked the brother and sister who had been with her during the day to take her to the place where they set the traps.
The scenery in the forest is all the same, making it difficult to tell the direction.
As soon as she entered the woods, she was stunned.
But the brother and sister obviously thought differently from her.
Looking at the brother and sister in front of her who seemed to be very familiar with the place and walked without any hesitation, the girl felt both admiration and a little unwilling.
This time, the girl took special care to memorize the route she took.
……
The traps were empty.
There is no prey.
The girl could not hide the disappointment on her face.
The brother and sister were not surprised.
They comforted the girl, saying that prey would not take the bait so quickly, and that there were fewer prey in the forest now, and it often took several days to catch a prey.
They did this, and the same was true for the traps set by other children.
The brother and sister were full of confidence and said that they would definitely catch the prey faster than the other children.
This place is a treasure they discovered.
The girl smiled and nodded.
What she actually wanted was that she could rearrange the trap after it caught its prey.
The brother and sister looked so cool setting up traps during the day, and she was somewhat envious of them.
……
The girl woke up suddenly.
She looked outside; it was still dark.
But there were more stars in the sky than in the city, dispelling some of the darkness.
The moonlight was bright, and the sky was also slightly hazy.
The girl looked at the time. It was not yet four o'clock.
But she couldn't sleep.
She had a lot of fun during the day and slept through the night these days.
Suddenly she thought of something and stood up.
Unable to sleep anyway, the girl walked out of the house in her slippers.
Headed towards the mountains.
She was still in her pajamas, but she didn't feel the cold at all.
In the early morning of midsummer, the air is still a little warm.
An occasional breeze blew by, causing the girl to squint her eyes slightly.
It's very quiet around.
Everyone is still dreaming.
The surroundings were noisy, with all kinds of rustling sounds looming, but the girl was not afraid at all.
She walked briskly and even ran at last.
The wind brushed her cheeks and blew her hair, and a huge smile appeared on her face.
……
Originally, the girl was worried about whether she had remembered the location of the trap, but after entering the forest, her feet seemed to have their own consciousness and led her to find the trap very smoothly.
She blinked, and blinked again.
The trap is not empty!
This is……
The girl trotted forward and squatted down.
It's a rabbit!
After a moment of surprise, the girl felt a little disappointed again.
After all, rabbits are not rare animals.
She has also raised rabbits before.
What she wanted more was to catch the fawn.
Thinking of the deer’s big, watery eyes, the girl felt even more regretful.
……
But soon, the girl started laughing again.
It doesn’t matter if you didn’t catch the deer this time. If you try a few more times, you will eventually catch a deer.
The girl is full of confidence.
Now, she had to get the rabbit out and rearrange the trap.
……
The girl's hand reached out to the rabbit.
One of the rabbit's feet was caught in a trap, and it was bleeding even more because of its struggle.
The snow-white hair was stained with blood, and the scarlet pupils were filled with fear and pain.
The girl's appearance and approach made it extremely frightened.
Even suppressed the severe pain in the leg.
……
The girl's hand passed the rabbit and landed on the trap.
The rabbit was stunned.
Hey?
The girl's breath was right beside it, and its whole body was tense and almost in spasm.
……
During the day, the siblings showed her how to open the trap.
Obviously she thought it was quite simple when she watched it, but when she tried it herself, she found with a blushing face that it was not easy at all.
Even though she used all her strength, the mouth of the trap did not budge.
The rabbit was shaking all over.
In order to open the trap, the girl's violent movements inevitably aggravated the rabbit's injuries.
The intense and continuous pain made the rabbit weak and it no longer had the strength to struggle.
……
The girl sat down to rest, panting.
My hand accidentally touched the rabbit.
A warm, shivering body.
She felt inexplicably uneasy.
She looked at the rabbit's hind legs stained with blood.
Does it hurt?
……
"wait for me a while."
The girl stood up suddenly.
She stopped trying.
Her hands were covered with red marks from using too much force, and a slight feeling of soreness spread.
She wants to go back and find someone to help.
……
The girl ran out of the woods.
As a result, because he was in a hurry and didn't look at the road, he tripped over a tree root.
The girl fell to the ground, her palms covered in blood as she frantically supported herself on the ground.
Her eyes suddenly turned red.
After lying on the ground for a while, she stood up with difficulty, and then she found that there was a large piece of skin broken on her knee, and blood was oozing out.
It hurts when I move.
She sat back on the ground, tears dripping down her cheeks.
I felt extremely wronged.
……
It was not until dawn that the villagers who had discovered she was missing found this place.
Seeing her disheveled granddaughter, the grandmother's eyes suddenly turned red.
The villagers who accompanied them also gasped.
Because it was summer, the girl was wearing short-sleeved shirt and shorts. The fair-skinned and tender city girl in their impression now had scratches of varying sizes all over her exposed arms and legs.
