The hare was in such a hurry that it didn't choose its way. It did not escape in the direction of Ba Jiao Mountain, but in the direction of the village, to be fair, it indeed had no choice. When it escaped, the direction to Ba Jiao Mountain had been blocked by us. There were also some trees and shrubs around the village, which were hard for us to find it once it made its way there.
"Block the direction to the Ba Jiao Mountain and prevent it from running into the mountains. It's still a long way from the village. Let's go after it." I called back to the three men behind me.
The four men spread out to catch up, completely blocking the hare's escaping route. However, at this time, the hare did not care about the direction at all. In order to escape, it desperately ran forward. While its strengths were weakened, we also were affected. Its running ability was still very good. If it were other children, they would only bemoan their inadequacy in the face of a great task. Unfortunately, who the rabbit met were us.
Although it was in the snow, I walked lightly. I was twice quicker than peers of my age. The hare hardly outperformed me. After running for more than two hundred meters, the hare began to lose its speed. It was not a very good long-distance runner. A distance of two hundred meters in the mountains was enough to let it get rid of most of its hunters. But this time, the two hundred meters wasn't enough to get rid of me. Not only did my speed not slow down at all, but I was speeding up, getting closer and closer to it. The hare looked back from time to time, which greatly affected its running speed. All I had to do was running to the rabbit.
It was getting nearer and nearer to the village, and the greatest trouble was that there was a grove less than five hundred meters ahead. That was where the hare ran to.
The hare sped up again, for it had seen the promise of life. It was a do or die situation . So it sped up again, keeping a distance from me all the time.
I could not help but accelerate the speed again. The distance to the hare was getting nearer and nearer. I was less than 50 meters away, that is, the distance of a ridge of field, from the hare. I had to catch it before it got into the woods, or cut its way to get into the woods.
The hare did its best to keep on speeding up. I was getting closer and closer to him, and so was its distance to the woods.
Although the forest had turned white, it was dark where the trees shaded it. The fields in winter were only black and white. So simple and so beautiful it was!
I sped up to my extreme. When I was about to catch the hare, a huge black shadow came over my face. We had come in front of the grove.
It was only a few steps for the hare to be able to get into the woods to hide from me.
Almost successful! I sighed in my heart.
But just as the hare was trying to get into the woods, suddenly, a loud sound that was like a ringing bell came up.
"Moo!"
It was Old Huang! Old Huang was not willing to be lonely, so he ran out! And he was just in time to do me a big favor.
The hare was startled by this sudden and loud noise. It lost its footing and fell to the ridge of the field that was more than two meters deep below. In this way, it would have to go a dozen more meters to reach the woods, but I couldn't give it another chance. I followed it to jump on the ridge of field and swooped to catch it. Directly I put it into the thick snow.

The hare, too, was so exhausted that it had no strength to push. It didn't resist at all, seeming to be waiting for the final moment. Being with a dying heart was perhaps the best word to describe the hare at that moment. But I didn't intend to let the rabbit go. It was my hunting harvest.
Huang Shulang came panting: "Master, let me throw this hare to death. It took us such a long time to run after to catch it."
"It wasn't the hare that got us to run a long time, instead, it was you. If you had tied it properly, the hare would not get away. Even if you didn't tie it well, if you held it tight, the hare still couldn't run away. You gave it a chance. How could it not run for its life?" I was not happy about Huang Shulang's behavior of s.h.i.+rking his responsibility.
Huang Shulang blushed and said nothing more.
"Here, take it. Don't drop the hare again." I tied the rabbit and handed it to Huang Shulang.
Thus Huang Shulang happily ran over to carry the hare.
Ma Jindong and Li Lijuan ran here following Huang Shulang almost at the same time.
"Thanks to Old Huang, otherwise today this hare would have run away." Ma Jindong went over and touched Old Huang's horn. They became pretty close, because normally it was not so easy for strangers to touch Old Huang like this.
"How did Old Huang come out too?" Li Lijuan asked.
"It must have seen the snow, so it came out to enjoy the fun. This guy likes to join in the fun." Huang Shulang laughed, saying.
Old Huang happily raised his head and made a few "moo" sounds to express the joy in his heart.
Old Huang used to be an ordinary bull, but it had become something different. Its body was much taller than the ordinary bulls, and the most prominent was its two horns. The horns of bulls in the village were not very long, and they grew on both sides, but the two horns of Old Huang were different from the rest of the flock. They were very big and sharp, and the two horns grew forward. This horn was extremely aggressive. The cows in the village dared not look at Old Huang in my house in the eye. When seeing Old Huang, either they flee or they became submissive to Old Huang's ruling. People in the village said that Old Huang at my house was not a common bull, but a Bull Demon King. Old Huang looked down upon the bulls in the village. Although he bullied the male bulls, he didn't bully the female ones.
"Oh, I'm starving. Hurry to go back to have breakfast." Huang Shulang's stomach rumbled. Early in the morning, he ran over to my house. After running so far just a moment ago, everyone had already consumed all the energy in their stomachs. Huang Shulang had a strong digestion ability, and his belly was empty, in addition, he was so fat, he was the one that could not bear hunger.
"Then go home first. Be careful, fatty. Don't let the hare run away again. If it ran away again, you will be responsible for catching it." I warned Huang Shulang.
"Don't worry. This time you tied the hare. Surely there would be no problems." Huang Shulang grasped the hare's legs tightly with both hands. The fatty was cunning. What he meant was that if the hare ran away, it was I to be blamed for I didn't tie it well.
"Woof woof, woof woof..."
"Chirps... chirps..."
In the direction of the Ba Jiao Mountain, the angry bark of the Black Bean family and the howling of the Red Autumn family came up at the same time unexpectedly. Either were they in trouble or they met a big prey!
"Fatty, you take the hare back, and then you eat something before coming back. By the way, you can bring some for us. Juanzi, you shall go home too. You are not of a great help anyway." I said quickly.
"Master, I don't seem to be hungry any more. You might just as well to let Juanzi to take the hare back. I'd better come along." Huang Shulang said in a hurry.
"All right. You just send the hare to my house, Juanzi. Get us something to eat. To roast some sweet potatoes is OK. As long as they can fill our stomachs, it's OK." I said to Li Lijuan.
Li Lijuan nodded: "Master, you need to be careful."
This time, Old Huang went with us.
"Master, what do you think it will be this time? Could it be a tiger?" Huang Shulang asked.
"Tiger? What are you thinking about? Were Black Beans stupid enough to mess with tigers? Still, when did tigers ever appear in the Ba Jiao Mountain?" I said sourly.
Huang Shulang scratched his head. It was said by the old men in the village that there used to be tigers in the mountains, but no one had seen tigers in the mountains for many years. So, it was not quite unlikely to meet a tiger.
"Wild, wild...wild boar! It must be a boar. There are a lot of boars in the Ba Jiao Mountain." Ma Jindong said.
It was possible. What made the two families of both Black Bean and Red Autumn feel tough must be a big game. The most likely species on Ba Jiao Mountain was the boar. And since the policy of returning farmland to forest these years was carried out, the boars in the Ba Jiao Mountains had become more and more.
If it were a boar, that was serious. If the boar became angry in winter, it would be no less ferocious than other beasts.
The sound of the Black Beans continued, indicating that they were not in danger.
"Run!" I was worried that the Black Beans might be hurt.
The bull started to run just like a horse, and its momentum was bigger than the general horse. With its strong legs stomped on the ground, you might feel as if the ground was beaten forcefully, though its speed of running was not slow at all.
The three of us tried to catch up, though we were all panting.
When we arrived at the location of the Black Beans, we immediately saw a huge black figure.
"Boar! It IS a boar! Aren't you a jinx!" Huang Shulang scolded at Ma Jindong plaintively.
The Black Bean family laid siege to the boar, not daring to let the boar come near. They kept provoking the boar to make it stay in fury, but they were so flexible that every time the boar rushed over, it could not touch them at all.
"Woof woof, woof woof!
Black Bean suddenly rushed at the boar, bit it on the neck before running away as fast as he could.
"Ho!"
Although Black Bean's bite didn't matter to the boar, the feeling of being provoked made the boar furious. He b.u.mped into Black Bean.
"Ah! Black Bean, be careful!" Huang Shulang made a surprised cry at this time actually. What a silly teammate!
Sure enough, after hitting the air, the boar's attention was attracted by Huang Shulang. Immediately it saw us standing at the foot of the mountain.
"Ho!"
The boar paid no attention to the Black Bean family any more. It rushed towards us like a tank.
"Quick! Get out of here!" I shouted loudly.
Huang Shulang ran very fast, but he ran to the open field.
I was able to avoid the attack of the boar easily, but I couldn't let Huang Shulang have an accident. I brought them out, and they had to be brought back safely.
I ran after him in a hurry.
The boar had rushed up towards me and Huang Shulang.
