Chapter 1371 Rabbit
Someone saw a pair of slippers dropped not far away, but there was only one of them, and no one knew where the other one fell.
The girl was barefoot and curled up in a ball, her eyes were swollen from crying, like walnuts.
It looked extremely miserable.
……
When the girl's parents heard about her situation, they immediately came to take her back to the city.
After all, she is a girl, and the scratches on her body cannot be treated carelessly.
After all, the medical level in the village is limited.
……
The girl's injuries were roughly treated.
With the comfort of her grandmother and friends, the girl calmed down.
Then someone asked why the girl was there alone?
The girl stammered.
Her grandmother had warned her before that she should not go into the woods alone because it was dangerous.
She saw that it was still early, so she thought of taking a look in the woods and then coming back before her grandmother got up.
But something unexpected happened.
Under everyone's questioning, the girl finally told the truth.
"Nonsense!"
Grandma couldn't help but sigh.
The girl did not grow up in the village and knew nothing about the situation in the forest.
If you are accompanied by children from the village, then it is not a big deal to go play outside the woods.
However, the girl was alone and ran into the woods before dawn. She was extremely daring.
No sense of danger at all.
There are wild boars deep in the forest, and it is said that some people have seen bears.
……
The grandmother scolded the girl for a long time with a stern face.
The girl hung her head. Seeing that her usually good-tempered grandmother was really angry, she didn't dare to say anything and could only listen obediently.
……
Two hours later, grandma finally finished her lecture.
The girl's eyes lit up and she felt greatly relieved, but she didn't dare show it on her face.
What if grandma thinks that her attitude of admitting her mistake is not right and scolds her again?
……
Grandma stood up and said, "Come in, everyone."
She looked at the children lying outside the door with an amused look on her face.
It was hard for these children to accompany her granddaughter and listen to her nagging for so long, as they all scratched their heads and looked anxious.
……
The children rushed in.
Grandma smiled and shook her head, leaving the place to the children.
……
At night, the girl tiptoed out of the room.
Her parents will come to pick her up tomorrow, so she doesn't have much time left.
The girl breathed a sigh of relief after walking out of the room safely.
Seeing the brother and sister already waiting at the door, a smile appeared on her face.
Having learned from the previous experience and having her grandmother’s repeated warnings, she no longer dared to go into the woods alone.
Besides, she couldn't open the trap by herself.
……
She was knocked unconscious during the day.
My body was in pain, and my grandma had scolded me for so long.
For a moment I forgot about the rabbit.
It wasn't until dinner time that she suddenly remembered this.
The reason why she was so anxious at that time was to come back and find help.
Noticing that the girl's expression was not right, the grandmother asked her what was wrong, but she didn't dare to tell the truth.
She knew that her grandmother would never agree to her going into the woods in her current state.
But she was worried about the rabbit.
So, she made an appointment with the brother and sister and went there secretly at night.
Originally the brother and sister disagreed.
They were also frightened by the girl's miserable appearance during the day.
What's more, they were outside listening when the girl's grandmother scolded the girl.
They didn't dare, at least they didn't want to take the girl to the woods again until the scratches on her body were completely healed.
The girl was worried about the rabbits, so they offered to go to the woods to check for her.
They knew the location of the trap better than the girl did. After all, they had set the trap themselves.
But the girl wanted to confirm the rabbit's condition with her own eyes, and she would be leaving tomorrow, and she didn't know when she would come next time. She wanted to go to the forest again no matter what.
Faced with the stubborn girl, the brother and sister had to agree to let the girl go with them.
The three children tiptoed out of the village.
When the house was out of sight, the children looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
The sky is clear on a midsummer night. The bright moonlight illuminates the dark night, and stars dot the sky.
There is no pitch-black silence, but instead a sense of peaceful and remote leisure.
The children opened their arms and took a deep breath.
There is a faint floral scent in the air.
The girl ran into the woods with the brother and sister, playing and joking all the way.
Unlike yesterday when she was alone, today there was a brother and sister with her, and the girl looked more like they were out for fun.
The tension that had sneaked out just now completely disappeared.
"It's right in front."
My brother spoke.
"Ah."
Having come here twice with her brother and sister, and once by herself during the day, the girl was already quite familiar with this road.
Her eyebrows were curved, and the moonlight fell on the ground through the gaps between the branches and leaves, outlining mottled shadows.
When you stretch out your hand, it feels like a beam of moonlight is held in your palm.
She raised her eyes, and the next second, the expression on her face froze.
The upturned corners of the mouth slowly straightened.
The eyes opened wider and wider.
Familiar location, familiar rabbit.
Nothing seems to have changed.
It was exactly the same scene as before she left.
However, the rabbit with red eyes closed its eyes.
His body fell to the ground.
The snow-white fur was stained with mud and became a little dirty.
The girl subconsciously wanted to go over, but her brother held her arm.
"Don't go there."
"It's dead."
"Well, he should have been dead for some time."
My sister squatted beside the rabbit and reached out to touch the rabbit's body.
The brother pulled his sister up angrily and said, "Don't touch me."
“It’s very dirty.”
"Oh."
The girl responded obediently.
She still listens to her brother very much.
The girl paid no attention to the conversation between the brother and sister.
She covered her mouth and her eyes slowly turned red.
The rabbit is dead.
If she hadn't forgotten about the rabbit, would the rabbit have remained alive?
Right?
rabbit
She slowly walked to the rabbit, stretched out her hand, and after a pause, she carefully touched the rabbit's body.
Unlike the warm feeling I had before, it was a strange feeling of being cold and stiff.
The girl suddenly felt nauseous.
"Hey, what's so good about touching a dead rabbit?"
The brother was somewhat puzzled by his sister's behavior with the girl.
"Okay, move aside, I'll put it-"
My brother's voice stopped abruptly.
"elder sister?!"
The younger sister looked at the girl who suddenly stood up and ran away, feeling surprised and confused.
"Chase."
The brother immediately withdrew his hand that was reaching for the trap, stood up, grabbed his sister's hand, and chased in the direction the girl was running.
The girl had fallen down near the woods during the day, or to be exact, in the early morning, and her body was covered with bruises. If another accident happened, she and her sister would be in trouble.
After all, they were the ones who secretly accompanied the girl to the woods.
