Meng Qingping caught a glimpse, and Meng Laowu, who had always been submissive in front of him, grunted unhappily and said to his son, "Yu'er, go over there and take a look."
"Ah." Fu Yu also didn't want to go, but his father ordered it, so he could only respond helplessly.
"Yu'er, come back soon."
"Ah, son will be back soon." Fu Yu's words were not an excuse; their family had much more work than those people.
The others were properly leveling the land, while they were clearing wasteland.
"Daddy," Yu'er saw his father going to the other side of the river and wanted to follow, but Meng Qingping didn't agree. However, before he could speak, he heard his granddaughter calling her grandson.
"Yu'er, come here quickly. This looks like a rabbit hole."
Hearing his sister mention a rabbit hole, Yu'er immediately thought of the stir-fried rabbit meat his mother made. What was on the other side of the river was long forgotten.
He also knew how to call for reinforcements, "Brother Qi, come quickly! There's a rabbit hole here." Although Yu'er was young, he knew he couldn't help his sister, so he quickly called for Brother Qi to help.
"Coming!" Qi He's eyes lit up when he heard Sister Fu had found a rabbit hole. He stopped teasing the uncles and elders in the garrison and ran towards Sister Fu.
Before running off, he didn't forget to praise Fang Shi. "Auntie's stir-fried rabbit meat is delicious."
He left with these words, and the remaining people fell into endless speculation: "Is that stir-fried rabbit meat better than what Old Pan makes?"
Old Pan was the cook in the garrison. Their small contingent was helping to build houses here for the first time and had never tasted Fang Shi's cooking.
But this did not prevent them from knowing that Fang Shi's cooking was delicious.
Those who had eaten Fang Shi's wild chicken stew with mushrooms that day had talked about it for several days in the garrison.
Especially at dinner, the descriptions were very enticing. Even though they hadn't tasted it, it didn't stop them from drooling along.
Fu Xin Ci saw Qi He coming to help and didn't hesitate to order him, "Brother Qi, watch this area."
She had already used her wood element ability to weave a seemingly haphazard net of tough weeds and cover the entrance of the hole.
"Got it!" Qi He was accustomed to Sister Fu's orders and trotted to the spot she indicated.
"Yu'er, you stand back. The rabbit will rush out with great force, and it won't be good if it bumps into you."
"Ah." Yu'er obediently stood behind Brother Qi, waiting for the rabbit meat.
Seeing that they were ready, Fu Xin Ci then activated her wood element ability and began to poke from another hole.
"Hahaha, Sister Fu is coming!"
Fu Xin Ci: Can you explain that clearly? It's the rabbit that's coming, not her.
Qi He was so happy that his eyes were curved like crescent moons. He didn't have time to think too much. Didn't you see him holding down the rabbit's head, which was caught by the tough grass, and not daring to let go?
"Grandfather, come and help quickly." Yu'er, having spent a lot of time with his sister and Brother Qi, saw the trick of the matter and quickly asked his grandfather to help.
"Ah, hehe, coming." Meng Qingping nimbly picked up the willow basket placed beside him and was about to rush over to help, but unexpectedly, he was tripped by something that ran out from under his feet and almost fell.
"Hehe, there's another rabbit here." Meng Qingping realized and was about to catch it, but his old arms and legs were still too slow.
Fu Xin Ci had already made a move when her grandfather cried out "Ouch." When she caught the wild rabbit bound by the tough grass, she mumbled with some confusion, "We clearly blocked two holes, why, why?"
"Ci'er, have you forgotten that grandfather told you about the cunning rabbit having three burrows?"
Fu Xin Ci: Not only did grandfather say it, but the teacher also mentioned it, and it was mentioned many times in books. It's just that she seemed to have forgotten it just now.
At this moment, only she was troubled by the cunning rabbit's three burrows. Meng Qingping, Qi He, and Yu'er were all beaming.
Two big, fat rabbits! If they were made into stir-fried rabbit meat, it would be a huge pot!
Qi He and Yu'er looked at each other and smiled, their minds full of the delicious taste of stir-fried rabbit meat. Then they heard Grandpa Meng talking to him, "Xiao He, go and call your father over. Skinning rabbits is not something just anyone can do."
"Ah, I'll go find my father to help right now."
Qi He was looking forward to eating stir-fried rabbit meat at noon, so he quickly dragged his father over.
Qi Yuanshan was also happy when his son told him that the children had caught two rabbits. However, he didn't expect that these children would catch such fat rabbits.
He looked at his son, who was a little smug, Yu'er, who was sticking out his small tongue with a happy expression, and the little girl who was still in thought.
Qi Yuanshan suddenly felt that he was old, or that his skills were not up to par. Otherwise, how could these three half-grown children catch two wild rabbits so easily?
He glanced at Yu'er with his eyes, correcting himself, it was two and a half half-grown children.
Qi He didn't know what his father was thinking and secretly urged, "Dad, hurry up and prepare the rabbits. The rabbit skins must be intact, just like Uncle Zhuzi prepared them."
"Hehe, you little rascal, why are you so chatty? I wonder who you take after."
"Of course, I take after you."
After bantering with his father, Qi He quickly jumped aside, "Sister Fu, let's go find more good things."
"Okay." Fu Xin Ci had the same idea and immediately agreed.
"Sister, Brother Qi, I want to go too."
"No." The two of them remembered the incident with the eagle and refused in unison.
Yu'er pouted and was about to cry. Fu Xin Ci quickly coaxed him, "Grandfather is old, Yu'er needs to stay by Grandfather's side. Otherwise, if Grandfather needs help and no one is around, what will he do!"
"Mm." Although Yu'er still really wanted to follow his sister and Brother Qi, he thought of his grandfather needing company, so he reluctantly agreed.
Watching Yu'er walk away step by step, looking back, to be with his grandfather, Fu Xin Ci and Qi He stood still in perfect understanding.
Only when Yu'er sat down by his grandfather with a solemn little face did the two of them run away in a flash.
Yu'er: He raised his small hand and wiped away his tears. He felt abandoned by his sister and Brother Qi.
Only when they were out of Yu'er's sight did they lean on their knees and smile secretly at Fu Xin Ci, saying, "I really don't dare to take Yu'er to play far away now. That incident last time scared me to death."
Qi He still felt a lingering fear when he mentioned this. However, there was one thing he didn't say: he was afraid of Aunt Fu crying.
The scene that day was still vivid in his mind. Aunt Fu's fear at that time was something he still remembered.
It was no wonder Aunt Fu was worried and scared. Yu'er was too young to protect himself at all.
