Chapter 131 Watching the Fun

"How many little rabbits did Xue Tuanzi eat?" Jiang Zhu asked.

　　Fu Zai wiped his tears with his little hand: "One."

　　"Come on, take us in and take a look." Ye Anyian picked up Fu Zai.

　　The three of them entered the east room, where Ding Qiu was sitting on a small bench feeding Xue Danzi with vegetable leaves.

　　Hearing the noise, he said: "Brother Ye, sir, you are back."

　　"Yeah." Ye Anyian responded.

　　Next to Jian Xue Tuanzi's rabbit cage was a bamboo basket covered with hay and cotton wool. The eleven little rabbits were all pink, but they had already grown a short layer of down, and they were all crowded together.

　　He asked: "Did you separate the snow dumpling and the little rabbit?"

　　"Fu Zai was afraid that the snow dumplings would eat the remaining bunnies, so we made a new nest for the bunnies." Ding Qiu replied.

　　Jiang Zhu stared at the snow dumplings eating vegetable leaves for a while: "You two, when you are at home during the day, do you spend most of your time here watching the little rabbit?"

　　"Yes." Fu Zai replied. ?

　　"That's right. Xuetuanzi may have been frightened and felt that the surroundings were unsafe, which is why he suddenly acted like this."

　　"Does it think we are going to snatch its child?" Fu Zai's dark eyes widened.

　　"It's possible," Jiang Zhu said, "Another reason is that it is inexperienced in giving birth to cubs for the first time and feels that there are too many cubs for it to take care of itself."

　　"So that's it." The child looked surprised, "Then Brother Qiu and I won't stare at them every day in the future."

　　Ye Anyian: "Then let's put all the little rabbits back. They are so small and need to be fed by snow dumplings."

　　"Do you... still want to put it back?" Fu Zai suddenly became worried, "Then what if it still eats the little rabbit?"

　　"Wait, how did you separate them just now?" Jiang Zhu suddenly asked.

　　"I asked Fu Zai to bring a cotton muff to catch it," Ding Qiu said from the side. "Rabbits know the smell. We also put the muff in the snow dumpling's cage for a while before wearing it."

　　"That's good," Jiang Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, "Then you can put the little rabbit back."

　　"Okay." Fuzai agreed, and soon brought over a pair of worn-out cotton muffs.

　　Seeing him put on the muff to catch the little rabbit, Ye Anyian took the muff and said, "I'll do it."

　　Xue Tuanzi is now more wary of the two children, and he thinks it would be better to replace them with someone else.

　　"Let's not let so many people gather around here. Let's go out and wait." Jiang Zhu took the two children out first.

　　Ye Annian waited for the three of them to go out, gently closed the door, and then put on cotton gloves to catch the little rabbit.

　　The bunny is small, fluffy, and easy to hold in your hand. After a while, Ye Anyian put all ten little rabbits back.

But when it came to the last one, Xue Tuanzi suddenly became alert for some reason and rushed towards Ye Anian's hand holding the little rabbit.

　　Ye Anian was startled, fearing that the little rabbit in his hand would be knocked off, so he subconsciously used his other hand to block it, but was bitten by Xue Tuanzi on the hand without the cotton muff.

　　"Well..."

　　Feeling a burst of pain, Ye Annian waved his arm to throw the snow dumpling away, and then quickly put the little rabbit in his hand into the cage.

　　After locking the cage door, Ye Annian glanced at his bitten left hand. There were two deep blood holes on the back of his hand at the tiger's mouth, and blood flowed out immediately.

　　He found a clean cloth and wiped it, then simply bandaged it, then moved the rabbit cage to an inconspicuous corner of the east room, and then found an old cloth to cover the cage so that Xue Duanzi and the others could be more comfortable. Feel a little safer.

　　"Brother, brother, are you okay?"

　　Fuzai waited outside for a long time, but saw no movement. He lay outside the door and called Ye Anian softly.

　　"Okay." Ye Anyian wiped the blood off his hands with a cloth and opened the door.

　　Fu Zai suddenly jumped in: "Hey, where did you put the snow dumplings?"

　　"Under the table." Ye Anyian pointed to the wooden table placed against the wall, "I have arranged them all, don't worry."

　　"Yeah." Fuzai nodded when he heard this, and then retreated.

　　Although he wanted to take a look, he remembered what Jiang Zhu had just said and held back.

　　Sensing his worry, Ding Qiu said: "It will be good to wait until the little rabbit grows up a little bit. This is the first time that Xue Tuanzi has given birth to cubs, so he will inevitably be wary of us."

　　"Okay." Fuzai agreed, "Then let me and Brother Jiang take care of Snow Dumpling and Little Rabbit, and I'll take care of Sesame Ball."

In the past two days, I have been as neglected as copper coins. I squatted alone in a cage eating sesame balls from vegetable leaves:...

　　"Okay, you two go play and eat later." Ye Anyian touched the heads of the two children.

　　The soft cloth wrapped around his hand was soaked with blood. Ye Anian didn't expect that Xuetuanzi's bite would be quite harsh.

　　After sending the two children away, he went to the courtyard to get a water ladle, hoping to scoop up a ladle of water to clean the wound. As a result, as soon as he took off the cloth strips wrapped around his hands, Jiang Zhu came over.

　　"Bitten? Let me take a look."

　　Ye Anyian handed over his hand.

　　Jiang Zhu looked at his thin and white hands. The joints were clearly visible when touched, and the two bloody holes became more conspicuous.

　　He grabbed Ye Annian's hand, wiped away the blood from the wound, and then washed it carefully with acacia water.

　　"Does it hurt?"

　　Ye Anyian nodded: "A little bit."

　　"If I had known that Xuetuanzi would bite, I would have come." Jiang Zhu said.

　　Ye Anyian's mouth curled up when he heard this: "What's the difference? It will still bite when it needs to."

　　"I have rough skin and thick flesh, and it can't bite me."

　　"Tch, you must be thick-skinned."

　　The two were chatting and laughing. Jiang Zhu had already cleaned the wound on Ye Anian's hand, then went to get his medicine box, took out the trauma ointment and applied it thickly on him, and finally wrapped it with soft gauze.

　　"The shop is being watched by a tiger, why don't you take a day off tomorrow?"

　　"It's okay, this little injury won't be serious." Ye Anyian raised his wrapped hand and looked at it.

　　I have to say that when it comes to bandaging wounds, Jiang Zhu's bandage is better than his own.

　　"It's just a minor injury. I'll take a day off tomorrow and it will be almost healed the day after tomorrow." Jiang Zhu grabbed his wrist and pulled him into the east room to rest.

　　The work Ye Anyian had to do was either wood carving or jade carving, all of which were done with useless hands. Even if your hands are not injured at ordinary times, you will inevitably get them. Now that my hand is injured, it will be even more difficult for me to work again.

　　Seeing that Ye Annian was silent, Jiang Zhu pushed him down and sat on the kang: "I'm going to cook, that's it. Tomorrow I will go to the mountain to pick some herbs."

　　"Okay then." Ye Anyian was helpless. Thinking that he could teach Zhao Nan, Yang Chi and Xu Yan how to tie lanterns tomorrow, he agreed.

　　The next day, neither of them actually went to town.

　　Jiang Zhu went to the mountain to collect medicine early in the morning with a medicine basket on his back. Ye Anian lay in bed for a while before getting up.

　　After washing up, as soon as I left the main room, I smelled a fragrant smell.

　　Fuzai and Dingqiu were already sitting around the small table eating the morning meal. When they saw him coming out, Fuzai stood up quickly and served him a bowl of porridge, and peeled a hard-boiled egg for him.

Ye Annian looked at him with some surprise, and saw Fu Zai look guilty and said: "Brother, I'm sorry, it's all because of me that you were bitten by Xuetuanzi."

　　"How can I blame you? It was my brother who was careless."

　　But Fu Zai shook his head vigorously: "No. Brother Qiu clearly told me that it was best not to separate the little rabbit and the snow dumpling, but I was too worried and didn't listen to him."

　　"If I hadn't insisted on leaving the little rabbit alone, my brother wouldn't have been bitten."

　　The child sniffed and his eyes were red.

　　"Today's porridge and eggs were all made by Fu Zai." Ding Qiu said softly, "He is very worried about Brother Ye."

　　When Ye Annian heard this, he quickly pulled Fu Zai over and hugged him, showing him his bandaged hand: "Look, brother is fine."

　　"In fact, my brother doesn't understand these things about raising rabbits. It's not your fault. It's our first time to raise rabbits. We will get better at it gradually in the future."

　　"Yeah!" Fu Zai wiped away his tears and smiled with a painted face.

　　After finally coaxing the children, the three of them started eating together.

　　In the afternoon, Zhao Le brought Zhao Nan and Shitou over, and Yang Chi also brought Lingling. Xu Yan was the last to arrive, but there was no delay.

　　Ye Annian took the materials and taught them step by step how to tie lanterns.

　　"Brother Nian, speaking of which, you haven't told us about Ye Ansong's incident yet." Zhao Le came here to have fun, and he sat and watched a few people putting up lanterns while chatting.

　　"I heard from my father that you also went there that day. What was the scene like? Why did I hear that Ye Ansong was maimed?"

　　When he came along, everyone immediately started gossiping, staring at him without blinking.

　　Ye Annian was helpless. What happened that day was indeed quite ups and downs, but it was really difficult for him to tell. After all, there were many people involved and it was complicated.

　　While he was worried, Jiang Zhu came over with a tea tray, poured a cup of tea for everyone, and said, "I'm familiar with this matter. I went there that day. I'll tell you."

　　Seeing him coming to the rescue, Ye Annian suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. He sat aside and drank tea, listening to Jiang Zhu talking nonsense to them.

　　Time flies when we talk about this gossip.

　　A lot of lanterns were made, Ye Ansong had almost heard about it, and several people got up to say goodbye and go home.

　　Ye Anian and Jiang Zhu sent Zhao Nan and Zhao Le to the door. As they were chatting, they saw a carriage driving into the village along the path.

　　Although the carriage was not as elegant as the Wen family, it was not shabby either. It's just that the coachman drove the car very fast. Even if he saw a few of them standing at the door, he seemed not to see them.

　　"I don't know whose house you're going to," Zhao Le looked at Xian and guessed, "You're not going to whose house you're going to propose marriage, right?"

　　Ye Annian didn't know either and shook his head.

Jiang Zhu stared at the retreating shadow of the carriage and suddenly said "tsk": "If I remember correctly, this seems to be the Zhou family's carriage."

　　"Zhou family? Is it the Zhou family?" Zhao Le's eyes lit up and he immediately became energetic.

　　"Yes." After listening to Jiang Zhu's words, Ye Anyian also remembered, "It should be the one who has made a marriage agreement with Ye Chenghe."

　　"Hey!" Zhao Le slapped his thigh and pulled Zhao Nan to run, but he ran too fast and pulled Zhao Nan to stagger.

Zhao Nan staggered as he was dragged, raised his hand and slapped him hard on the back: "What are you doing? You're so stupid!"

　　"Watch the excitement!" Zhao Le blinked and looked at Ye Anyian and Jiang Zhu, "Let's go together."

　　Ye Anyian:...

　　Seeing that the two of them were motionless, Zhao Le came over and pulled Ye Anian: "Let's go, let's go. What can the Zhou family do here at this time? They must be canceling the engagement. This excitement must be good to watch!"

　　Ye Anyian pursed his lips, feeling a little shaken by what he said, and glanced sideways at Jiang Zhu.

　　Jiang Zhu directly closed the door with his backhand: "Then go and take a look."

　　"That's right."

　　Zhao Lele was so happy that he took out two handfuls of melon seeds from the cloth bag hanging on his waist and gave a handful to each of Ye Anian and Jiang Zhu. The four of them went to Lao Ye's house together.
