Opening a Tavern in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 239: 1 Big Rabbit, 2 Fierce Wild Boars

After everyone rested for a while, they were about to get up and continue on their way when Yuyu suddenly became interested. Her eyes sparkled as she said, "Let's see what this pit is. I've been thinking about it the whole time."

Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaidao looked at each other and replied with a smile: "Okay, okay, let's take a look."

Yuyu went to the edge of the pit, reached out and gently touched the wall, then said in surprise: "It seems quite warm."

She peered in again, nodded, and exclaimed, "It's not only warm, but also furry."

At this moment, Li Hao suddenly shouted: "Oh, my hand seems to have been bitten by something, it hurts quite a lot!" When everyone heard this, their expressions suddenly became nervous.

Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaidao hurried forward and worked together to carefully lift away some weeds and loose soil covering the pit.

When they lifted the lid, they were shocked. There was a large nest of rabbits in the pit. The white, furry little rabbits were huddled together, staring at everyone with their round eyes.

Some of them even opened their three-petal mouths, as if protesting against everyone disturbing their peace. They looked very cute.

Cheng Chumo looked at the nest of rabbits and said with a smile, "Look, there are quite a lot of rabbits here. It's perfect to take them back and eat them. The wild rabbits shot in this hunting ground must be delicious."

When Yuyu heard this, she quickly waved her hands and said, "Eat? You're not going to raise it? It would be a shame to eat such a cute rabbit."

Li Hao explained, "This is a wild rabbit. It's wild and hard to tame, so it's hard to raise. Why not bring it back and let everyone taste it?"

Yuyu tilted her head and thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's right. Not long ago during the Mid-Autumn Festival, we got a bunch of rabbits from the Lantern Festival and brought them back to the tavern to raise."

"We haven't taken care of the rabbits in the tavern yet. This wild rabbit is really hard to deal with. I'll listen to you and bring it back to add to everyone's dishes."

Having said that, although there was still some reluctance on his face, he no longer tried to stop her.

After listening to everyone's words, Xiaoyu found some thin ropes from her body, squatted down, and gently tied up the rabbits' feet one by one.

As she tied the rabbits, she picked up a rabbit and said with a smile, "You little guys, we originally wanted to let you live freely in this hunting ground, but who told you to let us find you? You have no choice but to come with us. You have to behave yourself from now on."

The rabbit kicked its legs and struggled for a few times. Xiaoyu quickly comforted it, saying, "Don't move. I won't hurt you. I'm just taking you to another place to stay."

As he said that, he put the tied rabbit aside and continued to tie the remaining rabbits.

Seeing Xiaoyu busying herself, Yuyu came forward, tugged at the corner of Xiaoyu's clothes, and said coquettishly, "Mom, let me tie it too. It's quite interesting to watch."

Xiaoyu smiled dotingly, nodded, and said, "Okay, okay, then you have to be careful and don't let them bite you or break free."

Yu Yu responded excitedly, and then imitated Xiao Yu, picked up the thin rope, and carefully tied the rabbit's feet.

But the rabbits refused to obey and kept twisting their bodies. Yu Yu took a lot of effort to tie one up, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

But she was not discouraged, and she muttered, "Humph, I don't believe I can't cure you."

In this way, they tied up rabbits one after another. There were quite a lot of them, and they looked quite spectacular when piled together.

Yuyu patted the dust off her hands, stood up and said, "Okay, let's keep going. This is a wild rabbit, let me carry it, I have to hold it well."

Xiaoyu responded with a smile, then picked up the tied rabbit in her hand, stood up and followed everyone.

We walked along the hunting ground for a while, and unexpectedly, we saw the wild boar we had hunted before, lying on the ground.

Seeing this, Li Hao walked forward without saying a word, picked up one of the wild boar's legs, and easily carried it on his shoulder. As he walked, he said, "This wild boar is quite heavy, but it's good. Today's harvest is quite good."

As he spoke, he puffed out his chest, his face full of pride.

Everyone couldn't help laughing when they saw his expression.

As they were walking, they suddenly saw a cave in front of them. The cave looked neither small nor large, and it exuded a sense of mystery, as if it contained many unknown secrets.

Yuyu's eyes widened with curiosity, and he unconsciously walked towards the cave, saying, "Wow, there's a cave over there. Let's go take a look."

Cheng Chumo quickly reached out to stop him, saying sternly, "Don't go over there. The situation in this cave is unknown. It would be terrible if there is any danger hidden in it."

But at this moment, a "grunt" sound came from the cave, and then two sturdy wild boars rushed out.

Its fangs were exposed, its eyes were fierce, and it ran towards the crowd aggressively, as if it was defending its territory.

Everyone's face suddenly changed, and they quickly got ready to deal with this sudden danger.

When Yuyu saw the two wild boars charging out, she was so frightened that her face turned pale. She subconsciously took several steps back and cried out in surprise, "Ah! Why... why did these wild boars suddenly rush out!"

Her body was trembling slightly, her eyes were wide open, staring at the wild boar in horror. She stood there for a moment, not knowing what to do.

Her hands unconsciously clutched the corners of her clothes tightly, as if that was something that could give her a little sense of security at the moment.

Seeing this, Xiaoyu's heart skipped a beat. She quickly used her other hand, which was not holding the rabbit, to pull Yuyu's hind legs hard, and shouted anxiously as she pulled: "Yuyu, step back quickly, don't just stand there like an idiot. This wild boar is very ferocious!"

Her voice trembled slightly due to nervousness, and she increased the strength in her hands, trying her best to pull Yu Yu to a safer place, but her eyes were always vigilantly staring at the two approaching wild boars, not daring to relax at all.

Yuyu heard Xiaoyu's cry and said repeatedly, "Okay, okay."

She tried hard to overcome her inner fear and retreated hurriedly under the pull of the light rain.

His eyes were still fixed on the wild boar, and his heart was beating so hard in his chest that it seemed like it was going to burst out of his throat.

"Mom, what should we do?" she asked in a crying voice.

Yu Yu's legs wanted to walk but didn't, but she still struggled to move, and the grass under her feet was trampled into a mess.

Every step she took back was filled with the fear that the wild boar would pounce on her. Her mind was blank, filled with only an instinctive fear of danger.

She couldn't help but hide behind Xiaoyu, trying to seek more shelter. She held Xiaoyu's arms tightly with both hands, her knuckles turning white from the force: "Woo woo woo, where are the two wild boars?"
