Someone saw the slippers that had fallen not far away. There was only one slipper, and the other one didn't know where it fell.
The girl was barefoot, huddled up, and her eyes were swollen from crying, like walnuts.
It looked extremely miserable.
…
When the girl's parents heard about their child's condition, they immediately came to take the girl back to the city.
After all, she is a girl, so the bruises on her body cannot be treated properly.
After all, the medical level in the village is limited.
…
The girl's injuries were roughly treated.
With the comfort of her grandmother and friends, the girl calmed down.
Then someone asked the girl why she appeared there alone?
The girl moaned.
Grandma had warned her before that she could not go into the woods alone as it was very dangerous.
She originally saw that it was still very early, so she thought of going to the woods to take a look, and then come back before her grandma got up.
But something unexpected happened.
After being questioned by everyone, the girl still told the truth.
"Nonsense!"
Grandma couldn't hold back her anger.
The girl did not grow up in the village, and she knew nothing about the situation in the woods.
If there are children from the village with you, then it doesn't matter if you go to the outskirts of the forest to play.
However, the girl ran so boldly into the woods when it was still dark, all by herself, it was simply audacious.
No sense of danger at all.
There are wild boars deep in the woods, and it is said that some people have even seen bears.
…
Grandma scolded the girl for a long time with a straight face.
The girl lowered her head. Seeing that her grandmother, who had always been the most good-tempered, was really angry, she didn't dare to refute anything and could only listen obediently.
…
Two hours later, grandma finally ended her lecture.
The girl's eyes lit up and she breathed a huge sigh of relief, but she didn't dare to show it on her face.
What if grandma thinks she has a bad attitude in admitting her mistake and scolds her again?
…
Grandma stood up and said, "Come in, everyone."
She looked at the children lying outside the door, with a somewhat amused look on her face.
It's hard for these children to accompany her granddaughter and listen to her talk for so long, and they all look anxious and scratching their heads.
…
The children rushed in.
Grandma smiled and shook her head, leaving the place for these children.
…
At night, the girl quietly left the room.
Mom and dad will come to pick her up tomorrow, and she doesn't have much time.
After successfully walking out of the room, the girl breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing her brother and sister waiting at the door, a smile appeared on her face.
Learning from the past, she was repeatedly warned by her grandmother that she did not dare to go to the woods alone.
Moreover, she couldn't open the bear trap by herself.
…
During the day she was knocked unconscious.
My body hurts a lot, and I have been trained by my grandma for so long.
I forgot about the rabbit for a while.
It wasn't until dinner that she suddenly remembered this matter.
The reason why she was so anxious at that time was to come back to find help.
Noticing that the girl's expression was wrong, grandma asked her what was wrong, but she did not dare to tell the truth.
She knew that her grandmother would never agree to her going to the woods in her current state.
However, she was worried about the rabbit.
So, she made an appointment with her brother and sister to go secretly at night.
Originally, the brother and sister did not agree.
The girl's miserable appearance during the day also frightened them.
What's more, they had been listening outside when the girl's grandmother scolded the girl.
They didn't dare, at least they didn't want to take the girl to the woods again until the scratches on her body were completely healed.
The girl is worried about the rabbit, so they can go to the woods to check on the girl's behalf.
They know the location of the bear trap better than the girls.
After all, the animal trap was arranged by them themselves.
But the girl wanted to confirm the rabbit's condition with her own eyes, and she was leaving tomorrow, and she didn't know when she would come back next time. She wanted to go to the woods again no matter what.
Facing the stubborn girl, the brother and sister had to agree to the girl's journey.
...
The three children ran quietly to the outside of the village.
Until the house was no longer visible, the children looked at each other and then laughed in unison.
The sky is clear on a midsummer night, the bright moonlight illuminates the somewhat dark night, and a few stars dot the sky.
There is no darkness and silence, but instead there is a sense of tranquility and remoteness.
The children opened their arms and took a deep breath.
There is a faint floral fragrance in the air.
...
The girl ran towards the woods playing with her brother and sister.
Unlike yesterday when she was alone, there were two brothers and sisters with her today. It was more like the girl was out to play.
The tension that had sneaked out just now completely disappeared.
...
"It's right in front."
The elder brother spoke.
"Um."
Having come here with her brother and sister, and even once by herself during the day, the girl is already quite familiar with this road.
Her eyebrows were curved, and the moonlight fell through the gaps between the branches and leaves and fell to the ground, outlining mottled shadows.
When you stretch out your hand, it feels like there is a ray of moonlight in your palm.
She raised her eyes, and the next second, the expression on her face paused.
The curved corners of his mouth slowly straightened.
The eyes opened wider and wider.
...
Familiar location, familiar rabbit.
Nothing seems to have changed.
It was exactly the same scene as before she left.
However, the rabbit with red eyes closed his eyes.
The body fell to the ground.
The snow-white hair was stained with mud and became a little dirty.
...
The girl subconsciously wanted to go over, but her brother held her arm.
"Don't go there."
"It's dead."
"Well, he must have been dead for a while."
The sister squatted next to the rabbit and reached out to touch the rabbit's body.
The brother pulled his sister up angrily, "Don't touch her."
"Very dirty."
"oh."
The girl responded obediently.
She still listens to her brother's words.
...
The girl did not pay attention to the conversation between the brother and sister.
She covered her mouth and her eyes slowly turned red.
The rabbit is dead.
If she hadn't forgotten about the rabbit, wouldn't the rabbit have died?
Yes?
rabbit......
She slowly walked to the rabbit's side, stretched out her hand, and after a pause, she carefully touched the rabbit's body.
It was different from the warm feeling I encountered before, but a strange feeling of coldness and stiffness.
The girl suddenly felt sick in her stomach.
...
"Hey, what's so good about touching a dead rabbit?"
The brother is a little confused about the behavior of his sister and the girl.
"Okay, you guys get out of the way, I'll take it -"
My brother's voice stopped suddenly.
"elder sister?!"
The younger sister looked at the girl who suddenly got up and ran away, feeling surprised and confused.
"Chase."
The brother immediately retracted his hand reaching for the animal trap, stood up, took his sister's hand, and chased her in the direction where the girl was running.
The girl fell down near the woods during the day, or to be precise, in the early morning, and her body was covered with scars. If another accident happened, he and his sister would be in dire straits.
After all, they were the ones who secretly accompanied the girl to the woods.
