Su Cheng asked, “What are yams?”
Su Ning replied, “I’ll explain later. I don’t know what they look like or their benefits, but Third Sister-in-law says they can fetch a high price!”
This news delighted Su Cheng, and he said, “Alright, I’ll join you soon.”
He picked up the firewood at a quicker pace, eager to see what yams were like.
Then, Su Cheng remembered something and called out to his sister, “Go check if there are any wild animals caught in the traps Second Brother set up.” They knew the chances were slim, but it wouldn’t take long to have a look.
“Okay, I’ll do that,” Su Ning responded.
The trap was placed near the water in the ditch. It was common knowledge among hunters that animals were more likely to be found near water sources.
Qin Zhenzhen had a sudden idea.
After all, her water was supposed to enhance the taste of food. What if she used the spirit water on plants that animals liked to eat? Maybe she could attract wild rabbits.
The thought of braised rabbit meat made Qin Zhenzhen even more interested.
“I’ll come with you,” she said.
Su Ning chuckled. “What if there are wild rabbits? Your family wouldn’t dare to catch them.”
Qin Zhenzhen smiled confidently. “You underestimate me! If we do find rabbits, I’ll catch them for you to see!” “Okay, I will wait and see!”
The two of them went to the trap happily.
On the way, Su Ning kept reminding Qin Zhenzhen.
“Be careful not to fall into the trap.”
“There are several traps by the water, all dug by people from the village.”
“Second Brother’s trap is the biggest, but we rarely catch animals. Fifth Brother and I come to check it out every few days.”
Qin Zhenzhen smiled.
What was the point of traps?
It was useless if they could not hunt animals.
She decided to give her spirit water a try and see if she could eat braised rabbit meat tonight.
Qin Zhenzhen picked some tender leaves that rabbits loved to eat.
Su Ning was confused. “What are you picking these for?”
Qin Zhenzhen smiled mysteriously. “I will tell you later!”
The two of them went to the trap, which was still disguised. Su Ning was very disappointed.
“I don’t think we have any animals.”
The purpose of putting a disguise on the trap was to let animals that came to drink water step into it.
But Su Ning was not convinced. She unveiled the leaves and soft grass and got a clear look.
There was nothing inside the trap, which was 1.23 meters deep and 1.23 meters wide.
Su Ning was really disappointed.
“There is nothing inside.”
Qin Zhenzhen had already dripped a few drops of spiritual water on the tender leaves she had picked.
She put the tender leaves into the trap, and then lifted the camouflage on the trap and put it aside.
Su Ning found that strange. “Third Sister-in-law, you want to use these tender leaves to lure wild rabbits down to eat?”
Qin Zhenzhen nodded. “True”
Su Ning couldn’t help but contain her laughter.
She wanted to mention that wild rabbits weren’t foolish enough to jump into such a large pit.
However, she kept her thoughts to herself.
Despite her doubts, Su Ning couldn’t deny that her Third Sister-in-law seemed to have an uncanny streak of luck.
From the astounding success of her pancakes to her Fifth Brother’s endearing innocence, remarkable things seemed to happen around her.
And who could forget their fishing expedition? The way they effortlessly caught those big fish felt almost surreal when Su Ning reflected upon it..
