Chapter 79: Chapter 79 Simply Insane Chapter 79: Chapter 79 Simply Insane Chiang Xiao’s heart was tempted, but she was also troubled.
She didn’t bring any tools for catching rabbits, so how could she catch them?
However, since she had already seen the shadow of a wild rabbit, it would be too much of a pity to give up now.
Her family hadn’t tasted meat for a long time.
Although they could eat a boiled egg a day now, the nutrition was still insufficient. Moreover, going without meat for a long time was taking its toll on their bodies.
Not to mention, she was craving it!
Now, you need meat coupons to buy meat in town, and her family had long since run out of meat coupons. Although the village wasn’t that strict and occasionally someone would secretly sell some surplus, meat was expensive and her family simply couldn’t afford it.
If she had known that she would come across wild rabbits just after walking here, she wouldn’t have prepared so little.
Now Chiang Xiao believed it; Bai Gu Mountain was indeed full of treasures everywhere.
In other mountains, a few wild rabbits would have long been caught by others, but since no one dared to come to Bai Gu Mountain, she guessed there must be quite a few of these small animals.
Chiang Xiao squatted there, her eyes rolling around, when suddenly an idea struck her, and she immediately took out the small notebook she drew last night from the Space.
Her eyes shining, she flipped through it until she reached a certain page.
Last night, she drew many things, and on this page, she drew a small pile of carrots!
Although she couldn’t really smell the carrots, the rabbits should be able to, right? The pile of carrots she drew was heaped like a small mountain, and each one looked fresh and crisp, making them seem sweet and crunchy.
The food drawn by the Magic Brush was almost irresistible even to her, let alone wild rabbits.
Chiang Xiao felt that this plan was a bit crazy, but she couldn’t rest easy without trying it.
She tore off that page, laid it on the ground, then flashed into the Space.
Inside the Space, she also squatted down and stared intently outside.
Soon, the grass ahead rustled again, and then she saw a fat gray rabbit emerge, hesitantly approaching from the grass.
Chiang Xiao’s eyes lit up.
It looked like it was working!
She held her breath as she watched the rabbit, ready to pounce as it drew near, but before she could move, two more rabbits emerged from the grass on the other side!
Chiang Xiao was thrilled and became nervous at the same time.
She only had two hands! How was she supposed to catch three wild rabbits?
Right, the carrying basket!
Chiang Xiao quickly took off her carrying basket, held it upside down in her arms, and watched the three wild rabbits closely.
The paper was very small, and if it really could attract the rabbits, they were sure to end up squeezing together; when they did, she would press the basket down, and she should at least be able to catch two, right?
Now she just hoped that Grandpa hadn’t noticed the commotion here; otherwise, his one shout might scare the rabbits away.
Chiang Xiao’s heart was racing, and her palms were sweating.
She felt somewhat amused at herself for being so nervous over three wild rabbits.
It seemed that the scent from the pile of carrots was quite enticing to the three rabbits; after initially being cautious, they noticed there was no danger and all of a sudden, they hopped over, indeed squeezing together, trying to bite the carrots drawn on the paper.
Chiang Xiao burst out of the Space like lightning and pressed the basket down hard on the three rabbits!
She fell to the ground with the whole basket thudding underneath her.
Chiang Xiao was about to jump for joy as she caught all three rabbits!
Meanwhile, Chiang Songhai noticed the commotion and, not knowing what was happening, rushed over while calling out, “Little Little!”
Chiang Xiao thought of the drawing and felt uneasy, quickly lifted the basket a little, reached in, felt for the paper, snatched it out, and threw it into the Space.
The next second, Chiang Songhai arrived, and Chiang Xiao inwardly breathed a sigh of relief.
If Grandpa had discovered that drawing, what would he think if she told him she used the drawn carrots to lure the wild rabbits? Would he think she was crazy?
Chiang Songhai came over and saw Chiang Xiao sprawled on the ground, still tightly pressing down on the basket, and he was immediately dumbfounded.
