Zhang Tan stared at the group of children passing silently in front of the yard. Seeing that they didn't intend to speak, he could only ask them himself.
"What are you going to do?"
Bai Hualin stopped and opened his mouth to answer, but Xiaobai answered quickly.
"We're going to catch rabbits."
"Catch what?"
"Rabbit!" Xi'er said loudly.
Tan Jin'er, who was holding a broom, also appeared, standing next to Zhang Tan, looking at them and wanting to laugh.
"Where can we go to catch rabbits? It's snowing." Zhang Tan asked.
Xiaobai said proudly: "You don't know, we are going to the mountains to catch rabbits."
She couldn't explain why, because she didn't know how to catch it at all, or Bai Hualin told Zhang Tan that she had set a noose on the mountain, and now she was going to see if she had hit it.
Zhang Tan's eyes wandered over them, and finally landed on Xiao Xiaobai, who was at the end.
"Xiao Xiaobai is going too?"
Xiaobai said: "If you don't take her, she will cry."
It can be heard from the words that Xiaobai actually does not want to take her there.
But Xiao Xiaobai has a small tail and can't get rid of it.
Zhang Tan asked Bai Birch carefully where he wanted to see the noose. He heard that it was on the edge of the forest, but he was still uneasy.
Tan Jin'er asked him to go with him. When Xi'er heard this, he immediately loudly invited him: "Sister, you are going too. You are coming too, with your godfather."
In the end, Zhang Tan and Tan Jin'er also joined the group, just like going to the mountains to see the snow scenery.
It has snowed all night. At this moment, there is snow everywhere in the mountain forest. There is a thick layer on the branches. From time to time, you can hear the sound of crashing all around, which is the sound of the snow crushing the branches.
There are many pine trees in the mountain forest, which are evergreen all year round. Walking among them, you will not feel the desolation of winter.
The bushes were also covered in snow, and there were clumps of them.
No one comes to the mountain forest at all, and the snow keeps falling and accumulating naturally, so whenever small animals pass by, they can see their footprints.
After walking into the mountain forest, Zhang Tan and his party kept seeing strange footprints on the snow.
He couldn't recognize what kind of little animals these were, and of course, Xiao Bai and his ilk couldn't recognize them at all either. They could only make a whoosh and scare Xiao Bai.
But after a few glances at the birch forest, you can tell what kind of small animal the footprints left in front of you are, such as rabbits, pheasants, wild boars...
This reminded Zhang Tan of the text, "The Little Painter in the Snow".
"Come on, we still have to walk a little further, and that's where the first noose is." Bai Hualin said, "I didn't expect that walking in the mountain forest is more difficult than expected. Can you persist?"
"able!"
"No questions."
…
"Can't~"
A little girl's voice sounded out of place. Everyone turned around and saw little Xiaobai who was lagging behind.
It seems that Xiaobai was planted in the snow, and a pair of little jiojio disappeared under the snow, and both of their calves were missing.
Xiao Xiaobai was panting. Her calves were short and it was difficult to walk in the snow.
She is very honest and not pushy at all. If something doesn't work for her, she will say no loudly.
Xiaobai said: "I told you not to come, but you came anyway."
The little white tiger had a small face, full of shame, and secretly felt sad for his own uselessness.
Immediately, her little hand was grasped by a big hand, which was warm and full of strength.
She looked up and saw that it was her little aunt who had come to hold her hand.
"I'll give you a hand." Xiaobai said, "Don't be afraid."
Xiao Xiaobai became energetic and said loudly: "I will try my best!"
Xi'er also came over and took Xiao Xiaobai's other hand. The two of them led her and followed her all the way.
Zhang Tan and Tan Jin'er were at the back, watching this scene without speaking, trying to let them solve the problem on their own.
After walking for less than five minutes, we finally arrived at the location where the noose was set up in the birch forest. However, due to too much snow, the previous marks were covered and could not be seen, so we needed to search carefully.
It took a lot of effort and I found it under a bush. Unfortunately, the noose was not triggered and was empty.
"Oh haha~ No." Xiaobai was a little disappointed.
Xi'er and Xiao Xiaobai were particularly curious. Even if there was no prey, they would get closer and crane their necks to take a look.
Bai Hualin put the noose back on, and then led everyone to the next setting point.
When passing under a pine tree, there was a sudden crash, and the snow on the pine tree poured down, all falling on the heads of Xiaobai and Dunzi, almost turning them into snowmen.
Xi'er and Xiaoxiaobai, who were walking behind them, saw this and ran back immediately, running far away.
Xiaobai and Dunzi were both confused, they didn't expect such an outburst.
Fortunately, it won't cause any harm to anyone, just like losing a snowball fight.
Zhang Tan and Tan Jin'er stepped forward, brushed the snow off their heads, and helped them regain their souls.
The snow scene in the mountain forest is still very beautiful. Zhang Tan thought that there would be few animals in the mountain forest on a snowy day, but he did not expect that on the contrary, it would be quite lively.
There were constant sounds of birdsong and the calls of some animals in the woods. The birch forest said they were pheasants, and some even sounded in the bushes not far from them.
Children are like curious babies, feeling novel about everything around them.
As we walked along, we found five lassoes one after another, two of which contained prey, a hare and a pheasant.
Unfortunately, both the hare and the pheasant died, their bodies already frozen and buried under the snow.
Xiaobai took the hare and looked at it and touched it again and again. It was different from the rabbit she imagined. The fur of this hare was not snow-white, but gray, and it didn't look cute.
"Xiao Xiaobai~take it!"
Xiaobai said hello and received a crisp little milky voice in response.
"Okay, little aunt!"
Xiao Xiaobai has been coveting these hares and pheasants for a long time, and wants to get started, but it is not her turn, she is too young, and it is her turn after everyone has finished touching them.
It was her little aunt who understood her and let her carry the wild rabbit.
Xiao Xiaobai was shocked and carried the hare. His eyes were glued to the hare and refused to move away. He was amazed and amazed, as if he had never seen the world.
But she was very brave, not afraid at all, only curious and surprised. She kept touching the hare with her little hands, exclaiming that it was amazing that she had caught such a rabbit.
Suddenly, with a bang, the little friend accidentally fell into the snow, face down, and threw himself into the snow, not daring to move.
Zhang Tan and Tan Jin'er, who were walking behind her, quickly pulled their little friend up, curiously wondering if she was hurt from the fall.
Xiao Xiaobai was not hurt by the fall, she was just a little frightened.
"Where's my rabbit?"
The rabbit in her hand disappeared.
"hiahia, I picked it up."
Xi'er picked it up, but Tuji dropped it at her feet.
Tan Jin'er smiled and touched Xiao Xiaobai's head, telling her to be careful when walking and not to run away.
Xiao Xiaobai smiled at her and ran away immediately, chasing Xi'er.
Tan Jin'er was about to speak when her foot suddenly slipped and she almost fell down. She stretched out her hand and scratched in the air, but Zhang Tan, with quick eyesight and quick hands, grabbed her and helped her stabilize her body.
