Chapter 113: Hitting the Rabbit
Came out of the water to wipe off the water droplets on his body, put on his clothes, walked to the bonfire, opened the pot lid and poked at the chicken meat with chopsticks, found that the chicken was not fully cooked yet, so he covered it again. Then he flashed into the space, from the various small foods piled up in the courtyard of the space, picked up the fishing net leaning against the wall, carried it on his shoulder, and went to the edge of the pond to start fishing.
As he pushed the net around the pond, he suddenly felt like there was something behind him, and he jumped in fright. Turning his head, he saw a large gray cow standing behind him, its head raised, with sweat beads on its pink nose. He reached out one hand to touch the cow's head, and this was the first time a wild cow had shown affection towards him. The cow then let out a low bellow and lowered its head to graze on the grass at his feet. As he stroked the cow's back, he felt the slightly prickly hair. He examined the cow carefully: its horns were a pale yellowish color, forming a crescent shape on its head, and its entire body was covered in light gray fur. The cow was much larger than those in his pasture, with thick muscles visible on its chest, and its four hooves shone like black lacquer. Its two large ears flapped constantly.
Let go of the big cow, and continue to use the net to catch fish in the pond. Unfortunately, there were no big ones, only three or four large green fish as long as an arm. After thinking about it, I estimated that it was enough, just need to wear a few more bamboo sticks. Carrying the net back to the yard, I arrived at the entrance of the grape arbor and turned my head to find that the big cow had also followed me. I couldn't help but feel annoyed, what's going on these days? Everything is following me, didn't I check the almanac before going out? Or have I become more handsome in the past few days? Even if I've become a bit more handsome, it should be girls who follow me, not a bunch of animals. I wanted to shoo the big cow away, but it didn't budge. I put down the small bucket and net, turned around, and pushed the cow's buttocks with all my might, trying to make it turn its body. Except for being lightly swept by the cow's tail a few times, I only heard the cow moo once, then turned its head, using one big eye to stare at me, panting behind.
Living a comfortable life, I suddenly realized that I'm a bit silly. Compared to the big cow, my small body is nothing. Looking at the big cow's skeleton, I estimate it weighs at least one ton, and of course, I couldn't push it.
Abandoned the idea of driving the big cow back, Ju'an put away things and entered the yard. Just as he was about to clear up space, he saw the big cow eating a plastic bag in the yard. Ju'an went over to take a look and found that it was eating corn on the cob from the plastic bag. He couldn't let this guy stay in the yard, or else all the things in the yard would be ruined. After thinking for a while, Ju'an came up with a few methods: either move all the things into the house and lock the door, or drive the big cow out of the yard and put up a fence gate, or take the big cow out of the space. After carefully comparing these three methods, he thought it would be more convenient to drive the big cow out of the space. It would be too much trouble to move all the things in the yard into the house. As for driving the big cow out of the yard, Ju'an had already tried that earlier and found it not feasible.
Ju An led the big cow out of space, giving the little fox family a big fright. Teddy and Wu Song, who often stayed in space, were not afraid at all. They looked up with their heads raised, then continued to play. Tiger Head and several others immediately stood up, but when they saw Ju An beside them, they shifted their attention. The big cow lifted its head and looked around, seemingly unfamiliar with the outside environment. Ju An patted the cow's buttocks and said, "Go eat grass over there." The big cow started walking, running to a nearby spot to graze. Ju An was stunned for a moment, holding his cowboy hat in hand and scratching his head. Was it easier to control this big cow when it was outside?
Picked up the small bucket, went to the edge of the pond and handled a few fish, returned to the bonfire, used several iron skewers to pierce the fish, took down the already stewed mushrooms and small chicken, then hung the fish on the frame and started roasting.
As soon as the lid was lifted, a strong aroma wafted out, and Ju An had just taken a sip of the soup with a small spoon. Before he could even appreciate his own craftsmanship, several foodies immediately gathered around him. With a glance at the corner of his eye, Ju An sighed and said that although they were all foodies, the first time everyone didn't have any tools, but now it's clear who is superior and inferior after comparison. The fox guest family brought a big bowl and squatted next to the pot, several small thieves' eyes staring at the chicken meat in the pot without blinking. The bowls by the bonfire were unknown which one to take. Wu Song and Teddy, who had been with Ju An for a long time, saw that it was time to eat and immediately each took a rice bowl. Wu Song even specially chose a large one, not knowing whether it was a tiger head or garlic head, and used a small branch to tap on the bottom of the bowl, making a loud noise. This bowl would be big enough for Wu Song to take a bath in if he were to use it as a tub. Teddy had his own bowl in his mouth, blinking his two small eyes at Ju An.
He took the basin from Wu Song's hand, threw the small branches aside, pointed to the basin beside the bonfire and said to Wu Song: "You come to join in the fun, go and bring all the basins for me." Then he saw Wu Song grinning with a forced smile, went over and brought all the basins, handing them over to Ju An.
Ju An put the basin at her feet, tore apart the chicken, and then started serving rice. After a while, several foodies had their share of food, and she also prepared soup for Hu Tou and others, with bread soaked in it. She specially tore apart two chicken legs and divided them among three guys.
When the time was right, there were only two chicken legs and mushrooms left in the pot. Of course, the chicken legs were intentionally left for himself. "If you don't take care of yourself, heaven will destroy you," he said to himself as he scooped the chicken legs into his own bowl, took a sip of the rich soup, then picked up one of the chicken legs with one hand and occasionally shook the grilled fish on the fire, watching a group of foodies gnawing at chicken heads, gnawing at bone racks. An said with a shake of his head: "Brothers finally know why chefs are all fat."
He slowly savored a chicken leg, having just eaten a few mushrooms and was admiring his own culinary skills. Who knew that extreme joy would lead to extreme sorrow? Teddy suddenly appeared beside him, shaking his big butt, stood up on his hind legs, and stared at the only remaining chicken leg in An's bowl. An glanced at Teddy's bowl and found it had been swept clean in an instant. He could only pick up the chicken leg from his own bowl and put it into Teddy's open mouth, saying: "You glutton, you'll eventually eat me into bankruptcy."
After finishing the fish, Ju An finally filled his stomach. To say that this person can't eat enough at noon, once he's full, he easily gets sleepy. The sun was still comfortable after three o'clock, so he took a blanket and cushion, and brought a group of foodies to sleep on the big stone by the river.
After sleeping for more than half an hour, Ju An woke up and put away the quilt and other things, returned to the camp, looked at the sun, and muttered to himself: "Hmm! Today's weather is not early, it's better to stay here tonight, just in time to go hunting with the remaining time."
He pulled out a rifle from his luggage, opened the cartridge box, loaded several small clips of bullets into the pockets on his body, and then called out to several foodies, brought Tiger Head, left Wu Song Garlic Head and Egghead in the camp to watch things, and the group headed into the woods.
At first, Ju An was still in good shape, bowing his waist and holding the Remington rifle in his hand. From time to time, he would greet the foodies beside him, reminding them to be careful not to make too much noise and scare away their prey. Then, from time to time, he would use binoculars to scan around, and after walking for a while, he found that they were all just wild chickens and whatnot. Ju An was afraid of getting into trouble, so he let them go. Occasionally, they would encounter a few deer, but they were all small, even the male deer didn't exceed eight antlers. It was really too far from Ju An's hopes, and since there was food and drink in his space, it was like hitting a male deer, did he really want to skin and stew it? Plus, he had to bring back the ten or so antlered deer head, that wasn't going to be twice the trouble for him to skin the deer meat, no way! No way, bro, I'm kind-hearted.
After a while, the small hunting team became, with the proud and mighty Teddy roaring from time to time, the foxes calling out a few times, only the tiger head bowed its body, advancing cautiously, except for this, a group of people like devils entering the village, rushing into the forest with a chaotic and lawless attitude.
At this time, Ju An used binoculars to observe the surroundings. Suddenly, a gray wild rabbit entered Ju An's line of sight. He quickly signaled to several foodies to be quiet and slowly moved in the direction of the rabbit. The foodies were infected by Ju An and followed him quietly. The rabbit did not notice the approaching danger at all. After walking for a while, Ju An put down the binoculars and took the rifle from his shoulder. He looked with his naked eye but couldn't see where the rabbit was. He nodded and aimed at the rabbit's head through the gun sight. After aiming for a while, he pulled the trigger and heard a loud gunshot. Through the sight, he saw a burst of blood, and the rabbit fell to the ground. Ju An immediately cheered and ran towards the direction where the rabbit fell, shouting loudly and rushing out first.
The tiger stood beside the rabbit, barking loudly at it. When An ran to the side of the rabbit, he found that, damn, the whole rabbit was almost beaten to pieces, except for its head, the rest was a bloody mess. Picking up a nearby branch, An poked and pulled at the rabbit, then scratched his head, was the power of the hunting rifle too great?
Several small foxes surrounded the rabbit's corpse and started to gnaw on it with relish. Teddy sniffed at it once, then lost interest and went to rub his back against a nearby tree trunk.
