"Shh, keep your voice down." Uncle Liu said quickly.
Xia Qianqian nodded vigorously. This was her first time hunting in her two lives, and she was so excited that she wanted to cheer. The two followed the rabbit's trail and finally found a cave.
There must be more than one rabbit in there!
Xia Qianqian thought excitedly, but as the saying goes: A cunning rabbit has three burrows, so there must be more than one hole.
"I'll go find the cave next to it, you stay here and guard it," said Uncle Liu.
"Okay." Xia Qianqian squatted in the snow, ready to pounce on the rabbit at any time.
Soon, Liu Bo found the other two holes and blocked them with something. Then they picked up firewood and started to smoke the rabbit holes.
"Get ready, the rabbit will come out soon. Rabbits are very agile. If you miss it the first time, it will be difficult to catch it again." Uncle Liu was also on high alert.
Xia Qianqian was nervous and excited, and was particularly eager to catch the rabbit.
Thick smoke drifted into the rabbit hole, and soon a rustling sound was heard, and then a big gray rabbit ran out.
Liu Bo and Xia Qianqian pounced on the rabbit at the same time.
boom!
Their heads collided, causing great pain, and the rabbit took the opportunity to escape.
"He ran away." Xia Qianqian sat on the snow in frustration, rubbing her forehead. Her first hunt in life was declared a failure.
"What a pity! There are several rabbits in this nest!" Liu Bo stood up and pulled Xia Qianqian up as well. In addition to the rabbit that jumped out from the middle, rabbit footprints appeared on both sides of the rabbit hole, extending far into the distance along the snow.
Xia Qianqian was even more depressed, feeling like the cooked duck had just flown away: "Uncle Liu, I'm sorry, I was too excited and pounced on the rabbit I saw."
"It's okay, we'll go find other prey. Next time we'll divide the work and cooperate with each other. We can't attack together anymore." Uncle Liu comforted.
The two continued walking into the mountains.
After the rabbit incident, Xia Qianqian's passion for hunting had been reduced by half. Liu Bo joked, "Don't be discouraged. If the small one escapes, there might be a bigger one waiting for us. It's like making tiles. If you fail once, you will succeed twice, and you will succeed three times. You will always succeed."
"Yes, we will definitely succeed! If all else fails, we can just take the bird eggs back." Xia Qianqian blew on her hands. Her palms were all scratched from catching the rabbit just now.
As the prophecy came true, they really encountered a big guy. Moreover, the big guy was not afraid of people and rushed towards them with a roar.
"Wild boar!" Liu Bo was startled and said to Xia Qianqian hurriedly, "Quick, climb the tree!"
Liu Bo said this and quickly climbed up the tree. However, Xia Qianqian couldn't climb trees...
"Hurry up, climb the tree!" Uncle Liu shouted anxiously, "This wild boar is very fierce!"
"I can't climb trees." Xia Qianqian hurriedly hid behind a tree and quickly picked up the crossbow.
Whoosh—
A sharply sharp wooden arrow flew through the air and shot towards the wild boar.
Liu Bo also shot arrows in a hurry.
The wild boar had thick skin and flesh, so the wooden arrows could only hurt it, like tickling it. Liu Bo's arrows were better, with iron-covered arrowheads, but they still couldn't kill the wild boar.
The external attack made the wild boar even crazier, and it rushed in the direction of the arrow. Wherever it passed, big trees bent and small trees fell, which showed how strong its attack power was.
"Oh my god, this is too much." Xia Qianqian couldn't climb the tree, so she jumped up, hugged the branch and used the force to curl up her body, hoping to avoid the wild boar's charge.
Seeing the wild boar rushing towards him like mad, cold sweat broke out on Liu Bo's forehead.
