Chapter 30 This Rabbit Has a Baby

"Brother Chen Hui, what are you thinking about?"

"I was wondering when you would call me hubby."

Roll your eyes, roll your eyes, roll your eyes.

"Just kidding."

"Normally, I'd need to stick some long sticks with sharpened tips underneath here."

"When the wild boar falls, the long wooden sticks will penetrate deeply into the wild boar's body under the action of its own weight."

"This way, the injured wild boar will definitely not be able to escape. We can wait until the wild boar bleeds out and dies completely before getting it out. We don't have to worry about being attacked by it."

Chen Hui said, gesturing at the bottom of the pit.

"Then what? Are you worried that we won't arrive in time and the dead wild boar will stink?" An Wenjing asked.

"That's one reason. After all, we can't come here every day. We can only come every few days at most."

"The main thing is that we're afraid that the trap will miss the pig and injure someone by mistake."

The pit is less than two meters deep.

Under normal circumstances, even if a person accidentally falls in, it is easy to climb out.

But if there are spikes underneath, the situation will be different.

"No one would come here at this time."

"If this trap doesn't catch any prey, can't we just dismantle it before the weather gets cooler?"

In summer, less firewood is needed, and sufficient amounts can be collected near one’s own farmland and vegetable garden.

It's busy farming season, and the weather is getting hot.

At this time, even the idlers in the village would choose to go to the sea instead of going up the mountain.

"You're right, but safety comes first."

"It doesn't matter if there's no prey, but it would be bad if someone gets hurt."

Chen Hui hesitated for a while and decided not to make the spikes at the bottom.

Use a small hoe to make an indentation in the side of the trap.

Four long logs were placed vertically and several short logs were placed horizontally.

The two ends of each piece of wood fit perfectly into the notch. After they are arranged, roll up some soil to fill the notch.

Then lay a layer of branches to fill the gaps between the wood, followed by the shoveled out grass roots and weeds.

Finally, he sprinkled a layer of dry fallen leaves collected by An Wenjing evenly, patted the dirt on his hands and said, "It's done!"

"Brother Chen Hui, I think if that pig had a little bit of intelligence, it wouldn't have run into such an obvious trap, right?"

An Wenjing looked at it and found that the color of the leaves and weeds on the trap was very different from the surrounding ones.

There were also several piles of soil left over from digging traps.

"Of course it's obvious if you look at it this way. Follow me."

Chen Hui took An Wenjing by the hand and walked to the place where she had just pulled the wood down.

"Wow!" An Wenjing exclaimed in surprise.

There are tiny grass roots, fresh grass and fallen leaves on the trap.

As the distance increased, the trap blended perfectly into the jungle.

If there hadn't been soil nearby, she wouldn't have been able to tell there was a trap there.

"Pigs have very poor eyesight, their vision is short and their range is small, and their recognition ability is also poor. This level of disguise is enough to fool them."

"But pigs have a very keen sense of smell. They can definitely smell the grass being plowed and the soil being disturbed."

"So it probably won't pass through here in the next few days. We can come back next week." Chen Hui explained.

"Huh?! So we've been busy for so long, but there are no wild boars today?"

An Wenjing was a little disappointed.

After working all afternoon, her face was red and hot.

A drop of sweat slowly slid down from the corner of his forehead.

"It's not that good of a thing. You can catch a wild boar just by digging a hole."

"But today's trip won't be in vain. Let's go catch some rabbits."

Chen Hui reached out and wiped the sweat off An Wenjing's face.

He took off his shirt and wiped the sweat off his head and face.

He returned to the place where he had dug the trap, put the remaining wood and dry firewood into the backpack, and walked back with An Wenjing in his hand.

"Where are the rabbits?"

Although there were no wild boars, An Wenjing became happy again when she heard there were rabbits.

She no longer had any doubts about Chen Hui's words and just wanted to know where she could catch a rabbit.

"Let me see!"

Chen Hui looked around.

Strictly speaking, he sensed it and took An Wenjing to the vicinity of the rabbit's newly dug nest.

Looking back at An Wenjing.

"Don't ask, I don't understand!"

An Wenjing had a smile on her face, which was shabby but very sincere.

"Okay, let's get started."

Chen Hui used a hatchet to cut three large clumps of grass and blocked all the entrances and exits he found.

Just when I was worrying about not bringing matches, the rabbits in the hole had already taken action, one ran away and the other ran towards An Wenjing.

Pretty smart, he actually learned how to do it and draw lessons from experience.

Chen Hui took off his shirt and chased after the rabbit that was running away.

At the same time, he shouted to An Wenjing: "There is a rabbit running out over there, catch it."

“Ah?! Aaaaah!”

Before An Wenjing could react, a dusty grey hare had already jumped out of the cave and fled towards the mountain.

"Don't run!" An Wenjing did not give up and chased the rabbit with big strides.

Chen Hui walked quickly and knew the rabbit's movements.

As soon as the hare in the cave ran out of the cave, it was covered with clothes that smelled of sweat.

The hare under him struggled violently.

The sharp toenails tore through the clothes and left several scratches on Chen Hui's chest.

"Ha, let me see what kind of rabbit it is, it's so fierce!"

Chen Hui reached into his clothes, grabbed the rabbit by the ears and lifted it up.

The captured rabbit had a round belly and was kicking its legs desperately trying to escape.

Chen Hui reached out and touched it, and was almost kicked again.

"Wife, the rabbit I caught seems to have a baby."

Chen Hui looked up and shouted, but saw An Wenjing standing blankly not far away.

After a moment, he sat down on the ground, holding onto a tree and laughing uncontrollably.

"What's so funny?"

Chen Hui grabbed the still struggling rabbit and strode to An Wenjing.

"Brother Chen Hui, look over there!"

An Wenjing stood up with the help of the tree trunk and saw Chen Hui with his upper body exposed.

He was stunned for a moment, held his breath, turned his head as if nothing had happened, pointed ahead and said: "Look over there, it's very funny!"

"You catch this rabbit first, and I'll put on my clothes."

"Huh? Oh oh oh."

An Wenjing took the rabbit from Chen Hui, looked at him again, and quickly turned her eyes to observe the rabbit in her hand.

"This rabbit's belly is so big, it looks like it's really going to give birth to baby rabbits."

"Well, take it home and show it to mom. If there really is a little rabbit, keep it first."

"Rabbits give birth quickly. They are in heat every six months and have a litter every two months. They can raise several litters very quickly."

Chen Hui put on his clothes.

He took off his clothes and put them on in a different direction.

Although it's a bit of a pain in the neck, at least it's not embarrassing.

After putting on her clothes, Chen Hui looked at the place where An Wenjing had been asking her to look. "Ah?! Why is this happening?!"

　Let me tell you a happy thing. I received a monthly ticket!
