Chapter Eight The Strange White Rabbit

At this time, little Yang Fan did not feel regret for breaking up with his father or boasting about those heroic words. His heart was just tightly wrapped in a layer of sadness that was so thick that he could hardly breathe. His mother because

Not long after his death in a car accident, the grandfather who loved him the most was murdered and tragically killed by his father two days ago. Just now, he finally broke up with his father and became enemies. This incident is like a bolt from the blue to everyone.

The most unfortunate thing in the world pressed heavily on him, and he was only a ten-year-old child, so how could he not be sad. But he never shed a tear, because his grandfather once said to him that tears are for the weak.

He's cool, and he will never be a weakling.

Maybe God is absolutely fair. Although he gave Yang Fan so much misfortune, he was lucky enough to meet Xu Baichuan and Mute.

The next day, in order to relax him, Xu Baichuan decided to take him up the mountain to hunt in person. Yang Fan seemed to have gotten over yesterday's sadness. He was very happy when he heard about it and hurriedly followed the mute to prepare hunting items.

The three of them brought two bows, two barrels of arrows, a shotgun, a steel fork, a dagger, and a rope. Xu Baichuan and Dumb each had a bow and a barrel of arrows. Yang Fan originally wanted to take a bow, but he

Even with all his strength, he couldn't pull the bow with the smallest draw weight, so he gave up the idea of ​​getting a bow and took a dagger and a steel fork. And the shotgun was what the mute insisted on bringing.

Although he had never brought a shotgun when he went hunting alone before, he always had a bad feeling in his heart when he went hunting this time. Perhaps he was worried that Yang Fan was still a child, so he decided to bring it with him.

Their luck was really good. Not long after they entered the mountain, they saw a big hare weighing at least 20 to 30 pounds and completely white. It was gnawing on the grass not far in front of the grass. It seemed completely oblivious to their arrival.

aware.

Xu Baichuan quickly took out an arrow from his quiver and put it on the string, but he did not draw the bow immediately. Instead, he looked at Yang Fan and asked gently: "Fan'er, how confident do you think we are about that rabbit?"

Hit it?"

Yang Fan, who was originally waiting to see where the arrow hit, didn't expect Xu Baichuan to suddenly ask him a question. He didn't react for a moment, thought for a while and replied: "Ten points."

Xu Baichuan seemed to have already guessed Yang Fan's answer. After hearing the answer, his expression did not change at all and asked calmly: "Why is there ten points?"

Yang Fan glanced at the still silent hare and replied: "Because the distance is very close and the rabbit didn't notice us, I believe that grandpa and the dumb uncle can hit it with their arrow skills."

Xu Baichuan smiled indifferently and said nothing, then he fully drew the bow and focused on the rabbit. This bow was made of rosewood like the "Ten Thousand Stone Bow" used by Huang Zhong during the Three Kingdoms period, although it was not as good as that one.

The "Ten Thousand Stone Bow", ranked ninth among the most famous bows in the world, has the power of two stones to be fully drawn, but it is no less than two hundred kilograms.

With a "swish" sound, the sharp arrow flew straight towards the hare with the whistling wind. Just when the arrow was about to hit, the hare suddenly jumped away extremely quickly, and then nimbly dodged.

He disappeared into the grass and disappeared.

Yang Fan didn't expect such a counterattack to happen, and he couldn't help but look surprised.

"Do you know why I didn't hit that rabbit?" The expression on Xu Baichuan's face was still very calm, as if he had known that the rabbit would miss.

"Is it because we alarmed it just now when we spoke?" Yang Fan asked thoughtfully.

"That's right." Xu Baichuan nodded and said, "This is a very smart rabbit. The reason why it didn't escape at first was because it was waiting for the best time to escape. When we thought it would never escape,

, it suddenly escaped and caught us off guard, so that it could escape smoothly. 'A lion fights a rabbit with all his strength', this idiom is enough to prove the rabbit's intelligence and cleverness."

"Grandpa, I understand. What you mean is that no matter what you do, no matter how small the matter is, you must try your best. Even if you are very sure about the matter, you must be prepared to be only 50% sure.

, right?" Yang Fanruo looked at Xu Baichuan with enlightenment and said.

"That's about it." Xu Baichuan nodded in agreement.

"A lion fights a rabbit with all his strength, but what about 'rabbit fights a lion'?" Yang Fan looked into the distance and sighed softly. There was no sadness in his eyes, but there was a trace of playfulness that was very inconsistent with his age.

.

This sigh and the hint of playfulness in his eyes were accurately captured by Xu Baichuan, who has long since matured. With Sun like this, Yang Taisui, you can die without regrets. It's just this knot between your son and grandson,

I'm afraid it will be difficult to solve, so little old man, I can only do my best and obey fate!

Xu Baichuan suddenly turned his head and looked at Yang Fan who was following him and asked: "Fan'er, how about I change your name?"

Yang Fan couldn't help but asked in surprise: "I wonder what name grandpa is going to give me?"

Xu Baichuan thought for a while and said: "Add a flat character between the two characters Yang Fan - Yang Pingfan, what do you think?"

"Okay." Yang Fan nodded in agreement. From then on, his name changed from "Fan" to "Pingfan". He didn't quite understand why Mr. Xu suddenly changed his name to him. This name didn't seem to sound better than the previous name.

The profound meaning was that even at the age of ten, he did not dare to speculate.

In fact, the meaning of Xu Baichuan's change of name for him is quite profound. Firstly, he wanted him to open a new chapter from now on. Whether ordinary or extraordinary depends not on his name but on his achievements. Secondly, he wanted to remind him that,

We must always pay attention to keeping a low profile and bide our time. Ordinariness is the outermost coat. What is important is what is wrapped inside the coat. The third reason is to let him truly understand what "ordinary" is one day in the future.

With a new name, Yang Fan, no, it should be Yang Pingfan, his luck seems to have really started anew with the name. The white rabbit that just escaped from death escaped from nowhere after committing some evil deeds.

There is a bunch of grass nibbling about three meters in front. From a distance, it looks like a piece of white snow, so white that there is no trace of color.

Yang Pingfan rubbed his eyes and asked Mr. Xu in disbelief: "Grandpa, this white rabbit seems to be the one just now, right? How could it appear here again?"
