SIAS Chapter 68.2

When they arrived at the place where the traps were set, Yi Qingqing started digging a pit nearby, and Yun Guyuan was also helping.

The pit was not deep or big, and the supporting branches were also chosen to be slightly higher in load-bearing capacity, ensuring that rabbits would be safe if they walked through, but people would fall if they stepped on them.

She even maliciously placed a few hard stones at the bottom of the pit.

She and Yun Guyuan had a tacit understanding. The stones they chose were all sharp and angular.

Yi Qingqing gave him a thumbs up, “Well done!”

The two people smiled at each other, like two children preparing for a prank.

They squatted together and worked on it.

They dug several such pits, and there were several around each trap.

Tomorrow morning, the person would definitely come to see these traps. As long as the person got close to one of them, the person would definitely step into the pit.

Suddenly, one foot sank, just like stepping on an empty staircase, and the whole person would definitely fall.

By then, the stones at the bottom of the pit would be enough to cause the person trouble, and it was not impossible that the person would step on several of them in a row.

When she goes to work tomorrow, she will see who has suddenly become lame or is absent from work, by then, she will be able to find that person naturally.

Just as she couldn’t complain about the person stealing her prey, the person couldn’t blame her for stepping on the trap, so the person could only swallow it.

If the person couldn’t take revenge directly, the person would have to swallow it, which would be great.

***

It must be said that it was a good thing that Yun Guyuan came out to help her, otherwise, it would take a long time to dig these traps.

With his help, they set up the pit before it got dark.

On the way back, Yi Qingqing picked up a nest of pheasant eggs.

Knowing that Yun Guyuan hadn’t eaten yet, they went to the abandoned hunter’s cabin, roasted, and ate the eggs before going down the mountain.

This time, they didn’t go their separate ways behind the educated youth point like last time.

To be on the safe side, Yi Qingqing still sneaked out of Yun Guyuan’s house through his back door, avoiding people along the way, trembling with fear as if she had done something wrong.

On the contrary, Yun Guyuan was very calm, with a smile on his face.

When they got to the house, he said carefully: “I’ll go out and help you see if there is anyone outside, so as not to be misunderstood and affect your reputation.”

Reputation? Reputation!

After hearing what he said, Yi Qingqing suddenly understood.

Didn’t they look like a pair of young people secretly having an underground love affair? No wonder she always felt weird about it.

She said stubbornly: “I’m not afraid of this. You should worry about your reputation!”

“I want it more than anything else.” Yun Guyuan said seriously, looking at her, his eyes sparkling in the candlelight.

Yi Qingqing: “…”

She couldn’t stay in this room for a second!

If she stayed any longer, she would be overwhelmed by Yun Guyuan’s sweet words!

Yi Qingqing chose to run away.

The first time was new, and the second time was familiar.

This time, she ran much faster than last time.

Yun Guyuan watched her run away helplessly and smiled happily.

Her attitude had softened!

But she was still young, so he couldn’t rush to scare her.

 

*****

The author has something to say:

—Sugar-Sprinkling Little Theater—

Yi Qingqing: Have you secretly learned the art of mind reading? How come you know everything I’m thinking?

Yun Guyuan: My heart is full of you, why do I need to read?

Yi Qingqing: …

The author’s inner thoughts: My male protagonist’s cheesy love words are so bad, should I tell him?

Yun Guyuan: You said it out loud (▼ヘ▼#)!
