Chapter 113 Catching Wild Rabbits

Qinyuan Middle School was established in the early 1950s, covering an area of ​​approximately 120 mu.

Chunsheng had heard his father say that the area where the school was located was once the ancestral cemetery of a large landlord family during the late Qing Dynasty.

The landlord had committed a crime, so he moved his entire family to the south, leaving only his ancestors' graves behind, which became unclaimed land.

This afternoon's all-staff action involved all 18 classes in the junior and senior high schools. Each class was assigned a specific area to be responsible for, based on the area defined by the school's perimeter wall.

Chunsheng's class, Grade 11 (3), was assigned to the area in the southwest corner of the school.

Apart from a small area that served as the school cafeteria's vegetable garden, the rest of the area was mostly deserted wasteland.

When Li Yufeng drew that area by lot, she was extremely frustrated.

Because in those desolate places where few people go, there is a high probability that large areas of the walls will be damaged, and once repaired, it will be very time-consuming.

Even if they were unwilling, they had drawn the lots themselves, so they couldn't blame anyone else, and they couldn't exchange places with any other class. They could only bite the bullet and go with their classmates.

When they arrived there, they certainly did not disappoint them.

The place was both desolate and dilapidated.

Looking around, all you could see were waist-high weeds.

In some places, the withered grass is even taller than a person, which shows how long it has been since anyone has come to this place.

Immediately, a student exclaimed in surprise, "There seems to be something in the grass over there?"

"What's the big deal? In such a desolate place, it would be strange if there was nothing in the grass!"

"It's probably a rat!"

As he spoke, squad leader Hu Aimin picked up the iron shovel in his hand and started beating the surrounding weeds.

Soon, all the students who had farm tools in their hands started swatting at the weeds in front of them.

Because the school used to organize everyone to work in the fields every afternoon, tools were standard equipment for every student.

Even though labor classes are no longer held, the school still keeps those farm tools in case they come in handy someday.

Sure enough, it came in handy today.

Chunsheng followed behind the crowd. Although he was also carrying a hoe, he did not move with everyone. Instead, he kept scanning his surroundings, trying to find the exact location of the thing hiding in the grass.

Because he had just noticed something moving in the grass.

Although he couldn't see clearly what it was, he was certain it wasn't a rat.

The commotion was so loud; if it really was a rat, it was far too much.

He soon noticed that the weeds under a wall about twenty meters away from him suddenly swayed.

"I saw it!"

After Chunsheng finished speaking, he picked up the hoe and darted over in one step.

Hongqin, who was standing next to him, asked in surprise, "What did you see...?"

Before Hongqin could finish speaking, Chunsheng had already run dozens of meters away.

"Gotcha!"

With a loud shout from Chunsheng, he grabbed a large gray rabbit by the ears and lifted it up.

"Oh my god! Why are there rabbits here?"

Soon, Chunsheng was surrounded by his classmates.

Someone immediately said, "It's been so long since I've had meat. This rabbit is so big, it must weigh at least ten kilograms. Stewing it would be absolutely delicious."

"Let's grill it; it tastes much better grilled..."

In an instant, everyone started arguing about how to eat the rabbit in front of them.

At this moment, Li Yufeng also came over. Looking at the rabbit kicking its legs wildly, its eyes filled with terror, she hesitated and said:

"The cafeteria is right to our north; could this rabbit be raised by one of the cooks there?"

"I don't think so!"

One student immediately said, "If it's a pet, it should be kept in a pen. If it's left outside like this, it'll run away sooner or later."

Then someone else said, "That's probably because nobody ever comes here, so they've turned this whole place into a rabbit hutch!"

Li Yufeng couldn't help but laugh, "If that's the case, then aren't we in a rabbit cage right now?"

"How about this, let's ask a classmate to see who raised it, and then we'll return it to them."

Hu Aimin shook his head and laughed, "Teacher Li, you think too highly of people. As long as someone asks, someone will definitely say that they raised them."

Immediately, a student agreed, "Teacher Li, we absolutely mustn't go! If we go, the wild rabbits will become domesticated!"

At this moment, Chunsheng said, "Actually, we don't need to ask to know whether this rabbit is someone else's pet or wild."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at him with curiosity.

Hu Aimin laughed and said, "You mean to say that as long as this rabbit is in our hands, it must be wild, right?"

Before Chunsheng could speak, Li Yufeng immediately rolled her eyes at Hu Aimin and joked, "That's not something the class monitor should say!"

Hu Aimin immediately realized that he shouldn't have made such a joke in front of the homeroom teacher; it was so unbecoming of his position as class monitor.

So he immediately reached out and lightly slapped his own mouth, scolding, "I'll teach you to talk nonsense again. If you dare to joke around like that again, I'll definitely beat you hard."

Hu Aimin has always been quite humorous, and everyone is used to it.

After a burst of laughter from his classmates, Chunsheng explained, "I think if we just release the rabbit and have someone follow it closely to see which way it runs, we can probably tell whether it's a pet or a wild one."

Li Yufeng frowned, looking puzzled. "Will this work?"

"Give it a try! Rabbits are very attached to their burrows. If someone is raising one, it will definitely run to its burrow, and maybe it will follow you all the way to the cafeteria."

"Alright then! But don't waste too much time; completing our mission is the most important thing."

After Li Yufeng finished speaking, she pointed to a few male classmates and said, "You guys go with Chunsheng, and come back quickly!"

Surrounded by onlookers, Chunsheng loosened the rabbit's ears.

As soon as the rabbit landed, it leaped into the grass and darted off towards the cafeteria.

Someone immediately remarked, "Looks like the cafeteria really does have someone supporting them."

However, after running only a few steps, the rabbit turned a corner and ran off in the opposite direction, heading straight for the wall to the south in the distance.

Where is it going?

Everyone stared wide-eyed, wondering where the rabbit was headed.

Chunsheng didn't rush to chase after it, but instead kept his eyes glued to the rabbit's escape route.

He shared the same thought as Li Yufeng, believing that the rabbit was most likely kept by someone.

This is a school, surrounded by walls, so the chances of wild rabbits appearing in a closed area are almost nonexistent.

Of course, there are also low-probability events.

That means the rabbit dug its own hole and crawled in from the outside, but that possibility is extremely small!
