When Die Jiu heard this, she was immediately overjoyed!

"really?"

"Hahahaha, would I, a grown man, use two rabbits to trick you? Girl, don't look down on me."

The masked man skillfully twirled the flute in his hand with his fingers and pointed at Die Jiu.

Die Jiu stamped her feet in anger: "Okay! You scold me! Don't think I can't hear it... You look down on people! You... you said I was a dog!"

"If you don't look down on me, then of course it's not."

The masked man raised the corners of his lips and said playfully.

Apparently, he was bored in the mountains, so he just teased the angry girl.

Die Jiu frowned and said, "Forget it! I have no reason to be angry with you for two rabbits! Just give it a try... If you can really catch them... I think you are awesome!"

"Oh, let's give it a try!"

The masked man put the flute to his lips and started playing again.

Die Jiu widened his eyes with curiosity. He was so absorbed in playing the flute that the sound was beautiful. After a short while, a strange noise came from the bushes again, and then a fat gray rabbit rushed out!

It was too late to say it, but it happened so fast that Die Jiu jumped towards the rabbit...

The rabbit moved faster and quickly dived into the cave next to the man!

Die Jiu missed his target and fell to the ground covered with dirt!

"Ouch..."

"No hurries?"

The masked man looked at Die Jiu's miserable appearance, put away his flute, quickly squatted on the ground, and reached his hand into the cave.

He actually pulled the fat gray rabbit out by its legs...

When Die Jiu saw that he had the rabbit, he shouted happily, "Great! You are really good at it!"

"Of course! Take it!"

The man pulled out a thin rope from his waist, tied up the rabbit, and stuffed it into Die Jiu's arms. Then he squatted on the ground and reached his hand into the stone cave...

He pulled out another fat rabbit...

Die Jiu widened his eyes and looked towards the cave entrance hurriedly.

The masked man tapped her head with his flute: "Don't be greedy, there are only two in this cave, that's all!"

"Oh!"

Die Jiu got up awkwardly, and the man tied up the other fat rabbit and gave it to Die Jiu.

He was very cool and just turned around and was about to leave!

Die Jiu held the rabbit with great effort and shouted hurriedly, "Wait a minute! Big brother... it's fate that I want to meet you today! Otherwise... otherwise, you can teach me your craft!"

She was thinking about the young lady's future life. If she could learn these two skills from the man, then the young lady would never lack game for her diet.

The masked man hit her head with the flute again: "Don't be greedy. I won't teach you."

Die Jiu was not willing to let go of such a good opportunity, so she begged, "Brother, I'm not greedy! It's just... it's just that my young lady caught a cold and is weak, and I'm afraid these two rabbits won't be enough for her to eat! If I can learn your trick, I can give my young lady some meat in the future."

Seeing that Die Jiu kept talking about her young lady, the masked man was quite interested.

"How old is your young lady? Is she married?"

"you……"

Die Jiu's face turned red with anger, and she said angrily, "You are talking nonsense again! My young lady...my young lady has someone in her heart, don't start thinking about her just because you see her! My young lady is not someone you can just think about!"

The masked man smiled foolishly and said with a reminiscence: "I'm afraid I won't forget it. Go back and tell your young lady that if she wants to eat game, she can come find me here!"

"You frame me!"

“I pass by here every afternoon when the sun sets.”

The masked man waved the flute in his hand, left without looking back.

Diejiu returned to Old Lady Chen's house panting with the two rabbits in her arms. Qiuju was sitting by the window, worried. The young lady had no appetite the whole day and had vomited twice. This was not a good way to go.

"Heart... come and help me... look what this is!"

As Die Jiu entered the yard, she shouted excitedly.

Xinyi's eyes sparkled: "Rabbit! What a big and fat rabbit! Diejiu...you are so amazing!"

Die Jiu stuffed the rabbit into Xinyi's hand and wiped the sweat off her forehead. "I carried them all the way back from the mountain. My arms are almost broken from exhaustion! These two rabbits can make a whole pot... Let's make a good braised rabbit for Miss!"

Xinyi didn't bother to ask more questions and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, let's make braised rabbit meat! Miss hasn't eaten meat for a long time, and today I must eat until my eyes turn red!"

When Wen Qiqi woke up drowsily, it was already evening.

The braised rabbit meat is ready.

The fragrant smell filled the whole house...

Die Jiu brought a plate to Old Lady Chen and left the rest to Wen Qiqi.

"Miss, look..."

A bowl of white rice and a large plate of braised rabbit meat were placed in front of Wen Qiqi. Wen Qiqi looked at her and Xinyi in disbelief: "Where did it come from?"

Die Jiu pursed her lips and said, "I went to the front mountain to get some game for the young lady, and I was extremely lucky... these two rabbits were killed at the same time!"

She lied on purpose...

The young lady is sick now. If she knew that someone had peeped at her while she was taking a bath that day, she would definitely be angry.

Besides, in order to satisfy the young lady's craving, I asked that person to help catch rabbits...

Forget it, this matter must not be told to the young lady. The important thing is just to let her eat something good and replenish her body as soon as possible.

"Miss, please eat quickly! Diejiu and I specially made the braised rabbit meat for you. It's so delicious!"

Xinyi sat next to Wen Qiqi and supported her attentively. Diejiu picked up a piece with chopsticks and brought it to Wen Qiqi's mouth: "Miss, try it quickly..."

Wen Qiqi took a bite and said, "It's delicious! Do you two want to eat it too?"

The three of them haven't eaten meat recently and are craving for something.

Seeing Die Jiu and Xin Yi licking their lips, Wen Qiqi guessed that they were definitely reluctant to pick up their chopsticks.

"Miss, we have all eaten and can't eat any more! The remaining rabbit meat belongs to you... leave it for you."

Xinyi said with a smile: "Diejiu and I can't wait, so we'll eat it as soon as it's cooked. Miss, please don't be angry."

"If you two don't eat, I won't eat either."

Wen Qiqi still couldn't guess what they were thinking. It would be strange if they were willing to eat some rabbit meat after finally getting it!

Die Jiuhe couldn't hide his opinion from the young lady, so he lowered his head and said nothing.

Wen Qiqi really pushed the rice bowl and rabbit meat far away...

"Miss."

Die Jiu's eyes turned red. "You are sick, so just eat it yourself! Besides... you are pregnant! It doesn't matter if Xinyi and I eat less, but we can't treat the young lady unfairly."

"Yes! Miss, just leave us alone."

She was so anxious that she almost cried: "If the old lady saw that the young lady is living in this shabby house and can't even have a decent meal, she would be so distressed!"

Wen Qiqi knew how they felt, so she didn't force them to eat meat. She just smiled and said, "It's a little bit harder now, but don't you two think that we are more comfortable than when we were in the Lu Mansion?"

"Yeah... I'm a hundred times happier than when I was in the Lu Mansion!"

"That's right, but I'm afraid Miss can't stand eating vegetarian food every day."

Wen Qiqi took Die Jiu and Xin Yi's hands and put them together: "I am not afraid of hardship! Since you two followed me to leave the capital, we can no longer take care of me alone like we did at home. When you are out, you must take care of yourself. Otherwise, if one of you falls, how can I go on in the future?"
