Qin Jiaoxi felt that Bo Jiming was almost exhausted. The female wolf finally stopped and cautiously got into the hole in the grass.
Bo Jiming took Qin Jiaoxi to the place where it disappeared: "It seems that the nest is here!"
He was about to dig the ground with a long knife in his hand, when Qin Jiaoxi suddenly grabbed his sleeve: "Can you let it go?"
Bo Jiming was a little surprised: "Why?"
Qin Jiaoxi's eyes darkened: "I heard that the rabbits in the royal hunting ground multiplied too much and destroyed the grass forest, so the Holy Lord had people catch wolves and raise them in the hunting ground. Later, he felt that it was dangerous if they multiplied too much, so he wanted to kill them again.
They were driven out of the hunting grounds and even killed to death!”
"From beginning to end, did they do anything wrong?"
Is it wrong to maintain your own home?
Aren’t people the first to let it live in such a place?
Just because humans are more powerful than wolves, do they have to control their destiny like this?
Bo Jiming seemed to hear her thoughts, and slowly let go of the long knife: "Okay, then I'll listen to you!"
Qin Jiaoxi looked up at him again: "But I want a wolf cub!"
Bo Jiming: "???"
Qin Jiaoxi sighed and said word by word: "I don't care, I just want it anyway!"
Her tone was calm, not even the slightest bit coquettish.
But hearing this rude request made Bo Jiming feel happy and relieved.
"Okay, since Xi'er wants it, I'll catch one for you!"
Although this wolf is not suitable for being kept in captivity, it is better to take it back as prey than to be left empty-handed.
Moreover, the cubs can still be played with, so there is no need to worry about putting them back when they grow up and are no longer easy to raise.
…
Late noon.
Everyone was hungry.
The hunt is almost over.
After all, the Second Prince and his entourage failed to catch up with the Wolf King and returned empty-handed.
As a last resort, we had to hunt some more hares on the way to make up for our losses.
The eldest prince took Xunwu on a different path and hunted many beautiful pheasants.
The seventh prince, with the help of the fourth prince and his ministers, unexpectedly hunted a beautiful deer.
Only the prince and Qin Jiaoyue found nothing. They rode a horse together and turned back slowly.
After everyone gradually met on the road, Bo Jiming was not seen.
Xunsi Ge was a little worried: "I don't know where that brat went..."
At this moment, Xunwu asked: "Fourth brother, didn't you take sister Xi'er hunting? Why did you come back alone?"
Xunsi Pavilion: "!!!"
There is no way to pretend to be deaf and dumb.
At this moment, the eldest prince suddenly stretched his neck and looked into the distance: "Eh? I seem to have seen Sister Xi'er!"
"Ah, that's right, it's Princess Meng'an and the young businessman!"
Suddenly someone exclaimed: "Eh? Look, what is Princess Meng'an holding in her arms?"
"Like...hunting a live deer?"
"It doesn't look like that..."
"How can a deer have such short legs?"
At that time, Xunsi Ge suddenly widened his eyes: "Isn't it right? Xi'er is holding a wolf cub? Am I blind?"
The ministers' pupils also tightened: "Wolves have always been the most ferocious in hunting grounds. No matter how big or small, once hunted, they are the well-deserved number one!"
"I didn't expect the young businessman to be so powerful——"
"Capturing wolf pups is harder than hunting wolves!"
Then, someone said weakly: "Is it possible that I'm the only one who discovered that the young master of the merchant is extremely protective of Princess Meng'an?"
Xunjiu'er, who had gathered the three hare colors again, suddenly turned his head and looked towards Qin Jiaoxi.
I saw Bo Jiming holding the horse and letting Qin Jiaoxi sit on the horse holding the little beast.
That protective gesture was indeed something she had never seen before in this life.
