Time Travel to Become Your Sweetheart novel Chapter 162

In the mountains, the air was fresh, mixed with the fragrance of soil. The sun was setting, casting a beam of red light through the branches of the trees.

"Wild rabbit!"

Jane sensed that the grasses beside her feet were moving and when she looked into, she found a fat gray rabbit there.

When the rabbit saw her, it was frightened and ran away quickly.

"Mommy, rabbit!" Dayton shouted out.

It was the first time he saw a wild gray rabbit. He chased with small steps, a little faster than the rabbit.

"Daddy, Mommy, let's catch the rabbit!"

Dayton laughed as he ran, chasing after the wild rabbit.

The wild rabbit was frightened and crawled into the grass, running quickly.

Jane went around the bushes, preparing to catch the rabbit on the other side. But she failed for scant experience. Instead, the rabbit slipped past her and jumped away.

"Want it?" William asked.

He did not look at his son but Jane.

Villagers often went into the mountains to hunt in the off-season from farming, so the preys would instinctively run on seeing people.

Some people of the Duncans were still living a relatively primitive life. Men and women were doing their part and unwilling to leave.

"Yes." They both said.

It was said that the meat of wild rabbits was particularly delicious, and this rabbit was very fat. They can eat to their hearts' content by stewing it with seasonings.

In these days, wild games were expensive. Moreover, most of the so-called wild games were actually domesticated.

"Okay," William said.

He leaned against a tree, bathed in the dim light emanating from the setting sun. With a fist-sized stone in his hand, he aimed it in the direction of the rabbit.

He raised his hand and threw it. The whole process was perfectly smooth.

On hearing the sound of the stone falling onto the ground, he said, "Let's go and check it." His voice was flat.

According to the sound, the rabbit should have got shot.

"You did it?"

Jane couldn't believe it. Did he really hit the rabbit out of a casual throw?

"Daddy, Mommy, the rabbit is dead!"

Dayton exclaimed. He was looking to play with the rabbit and feed it with grass. He whined, "Daddy is so bad!"

"Dead?"

Jane came closer and saw that the rabbit's head had blown up. She wondered how much strength William had used.

He was so handsome!

Dayton crouched down and rubbed the rabbit, with tears rolling down.

He was thinking, "Since they had had dinner and were not hungry, why must they kill the rabbit?"

The rabbit was just alive and kicking and the next minute it was dead.

Jane mourned for the rabbit for a second and then couldn't help smiling.

They all were a little tired from climbing the mountain today. After coming back, she would cook it as a reward.)

There were bamboo shoots in the mountains. He could stir-fry that with bacon. It would be very delicious.

But she thought that Dayton must be frightened by seeing this.

Jane looked at her husband with complaint. Even in the mountains, William was still meticulous. His shoes were still clean, without a touch of dirt, which really didn't fit in with the environment.

"You said that you want it." William retorted.

She could only see the rabbit this afternoon. And it was she who acted like having been hungry for a long time and saw a pot of delicious stewed rabbit meat in front of her.

At that time, he only wanted to make her happy.

"I do want it, but was it really that obvious?" Jane asked.

She touched her face and thought," Even if she wanted it, there was no need to kill the rabbit in front of their son. "

Children's world was pure and beautiful. There was no blood or slaughter.

"It makes no difference between dying now and dying later." William said.
