A Hit That Never Misses, Tonight We Can Eat Rabbit

Just then, [Ink Plum Like Painting] also came out.

She tipped a rocket and left a message: "Congratulations, streamer, on gaining a new companion."

"Xiao Qing is following you now, so make sure you treat her well."

"Haha, Sister [Ink Plum Like Painting] actually showed up."

"Rich lady, I'm hungry."

"Bro up there, stop dreaming. If you want Sister [Ink Plum Like Painting]'s attention, you first need the streamer's looks."

"Sister [Ink Plum Like Painting], look at me, I'm way more handsome than the streamer."

Lin Xuan glanced at the livestream room and noticed [Ink Plum Like Painting] had tipped him a rocket, so he said a thank you.

"Streamer, no need to be polite. This is a tip for Xiao Qing. Since she's with you, you better treat her well."

"Haha, you don't have to say it—I'll treat Xiao Qing well. Since she decided to stay by my side, she's family."

"Wow, I didn't expect the streamer to say that."

"Family? Streamer, I want to be your family too!"

"Up there, if you want to be the streamer's family, go reincarnate into a cute animal right now, then you can accompany him."

"Haha, that's hilarious."

[Ink Plum Like Painting]: "Streamer, I see you haven't signed with the platform yet. Have you thought about it?"

Seeing her comment, Lin Xuan was slightly taken aback, thinking to himself, could this [Ink Plum Like Painting] be someone from the platform?

He thought it over and answered seriously: "To be honest, I don't have any plans to sign with the platform for now."

"After all, as you know, I started the livestream room to show everyone my daily forest patrols and share the animals in the jungle, so people can protect animals, love little creatures, and not abandon them easily."

Ink Plum Like Painting: "I see. But if you ever want to sign with the platform, please let me know in advance."

Ink Plum Like Painting didn't say anything deeper.

Still, Lin Xuan felt that even if Ink Plum Like Painting wasn't part of the platform, she definitely had strong connections.

Thinking this, he smiled and said, "Then I'll thank you here first."

"Alright, everyone, for now I won't answer your questions, because we've arrived at our destination."

With that, Lin Xuan switched the camera to drone view. Through the drone's perspective, the viewers spotted at least five or six wild rabbits on the flat grass.

"Streamer, I see them! One, two... six, six wild rabbits total!"

"Wow, I see them too! The smallest of these six rabbits must be about two jin, right?"

"Two jin of rabbit meat—if you grilled it, one rabbit alone would cost at least seventy or eighty!"

(Yeah, seeing wild rabbits reminds me of the last time I ate grilled rabbit meat. The taste was really fresh.)

"Xiao Qing, stay here and wait for me. Soon we can eat."

The White-lipped Bamboo Viper, hearing Lin Xuan's words, crawled off to the side. It climbed onto a rock, raised its upper body upright, and stared ahead. When it spotted movement in the grass, its pitch-black eyes lit up.

Lin Xuan gripped a wooden stick and slowly approached step by step, trying not to make any noise.

Soon, he spotted a wild rabbit about five meters ahead.

He adjusted his grip on the stick, waited for the right moment, and the instant the rabbit leaped up, he hurled the stick straight at it.

Then, with a thud, Lin Xuan quickly walked over.

"Did he hit it?"

"Amazing, streamer! One shot, one kill!"

"With that kind of luck, it'd be a waste if the streamer didn't buy a lottery ticket."

"Yeah, he might even become a millionaire."

Lin Xuan reached the rabbit's location and saw lying on the ground a gray-furred rabbit with scattered yellow spots, a brownish-yellow back, and irregular black speckles along its spine.

He lifted the rabbit by its ears, gauging its weight—about three jin.

A three-jin wild rabbit meant a feast tonight.

"Streamer, how heavy is that rabbit?"

"Looks like about three jin, right?"

"If it really is that much, then you and Xiao Qing are in for a treat tonight."

Lin Xuan gripped one hand on the rabbit's hind leg and the other on its head, then twisted it against the ground, snapping its cervical spine.

"This rabbit is about three jin. Tonight, we're having meat."

After finishing that, Lin Xuan finally answered.

"Oh, I guessed right—it really is about three jin."

"What was the streamer just doing?"

"Just now, I was worried the rabbit wasn't dead yet, so I quickly broke its neck. That way, the rabbit is truly dead."

"After all, if it isn't dead yet, when we skin the rabbit later, it might suddenly jump back to life—that wouldn't be good."

"Haha, a rabbit coming back to life? I've never seen that."

"Upstairs, haven't you ever killed a chicken at home for New Year's?"

"I remember once going to an uncle's house. When they killed a chicken, they didn't cut deep enough into its throat, so it didn't die."

"When they scalded it with hot water, the chicken actually jumped out of the bucket and ran off."

"Haha, that actually happened? What then?"

"Then they killed it again, and it ended up on the table."

"Wild rabbits are pretty much the same."

"But wild rabbits are too fast. If it isn't dead, and since we're still in the jungle, once it runs off, it'll be hard to catch."

"This netizen is right. Out in the wild, once you catch a rabbit, you can use my method to finish it off quickly. Also, if anyone's camping outdoors and handling live prey, try not to kill it near your campsite."

"Otherwise, the smell of blood can easily attract other predators—and that's when things get dangerous."

Lin Xuan explained, not forgetting to remind the viewers.

"Thanks for the tip, streamer. Got it."

"I know now too. Next time I go camping, I'll stick to crowded spots. That way, if any wild animals show up, there'll be people to help."

"Right, everyone. If you're traveling and camping outdoors, it's best not to go alone. Having a few friends around makes things much easier."

Lin Xuan picked up the wild rabbit and left the thicket.

He walked over to the White-lipped Bamboo Viper, dangled the rabbit in front of it, and smiled. "Xiao Qing, tonight we can eat wild rabbit meat."

"Hiss~ hiss~"

Xiao Qing flicked its tongue, as if also pleased.

"Let's find a place with a stream. We'll skin the rabbit there, and once that's done, we can take it back."

With that, one man, one snake, and one dead rabbit set off together to find a spot with running water.
