The sacred tree is about to pass, and the cannon fodder's wish countdown is coming

Although he decided to maintain a good brotherly relationship with Lu Shi, Qi Jin gave up the next day and lay on the bed with his eyes closed to rest.

Yesterday's fatigue has eased a lot, but his clothes are too dirty to be seen in public. Even after changing into new clothes today, he doesn't want to go up the mountain and get dirty again.

He felt that he was better suited to stay at home.

But he couldn't do nothing, so Qi Jin took out the piece of cloud silk and prepared to start his handicraft.

*

Lu Shi seemed to be very lucky today. Near noon, he found a nest of six rabbits in the grass. Two of them were fat, and the other four looked like they were just born. They didn't have much fur and must have been weaned.

The two big ones are just enough to serve as a snack for the villagers, but the others are too small and don’t have enough meat to fill their stomachs. It would be better to raise them for a while before eating them.

When Lu Shi was bringing the rabbit down the mountain, he met Qi Jin who was about to go up the mountain.

Qi Jin: There is no need to ask or tell, because I have nothing to eat if I stay at home alone.

After yesterday’s painful experience of starvation, Qi Jin felt that he could eat those dishes (smile).

He smiled brightly at Lu Shi: "My aunts asked me to call everyone down to eat."

"No need to shout, I just called out, everyone should be coming down the mountain soon."

"That's good."

Qi Jin looked at the two plump rabbits in Lu Shi's hands and asked, "Is there meat to eat?"

Lu Shi glanced at Qi Jin and raised his hand to weigh the rabbit in his hand.

"I probably won't be able to eat at noon, but I should be able to eat at night."

"it is good."

So look at what he does, it seems like he is so greedy.

Qi Jin was dissatisfied with his look but still greeted him with a smile. He always remembered his purpose, which was to become good brothers!

"What's that on your back?"

Lu Shi's mind moved, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He seemed to have found someone to raise them.

"It's a very cute little bunny. It suits you very well. I'm giving it to you."

Suitable for me? Qi Jin looked down at the backpack on the ground.

The four snow-white little rabbits snuggled together, and their soft and cute appearance immediately struck Qi Jin's heart.

He carefully took one out of the basket. The little white thing didn't struggle and nestled into his arms.

So soft.

It feels like it will die if it is pinched lightly.

Qi Jin was afraid of hurting the little rabbit, so he moved very carefully and didn't even dare to breathe.

Well, it's a bit exaggerated, but the result is wonderful and both parties are very satisfied.

In the days that followed, Qi Jin's attention was always on the rabbits. He named the four little ones: Dabai, Erbai, Sanbai, and Xiaobai.

Qi Jin squatted beside the nest he made for the rabbits, holding a handful of grass in his hand and muttering to himself.

"Dabai, eat more, or you won't grow up."

"Erbai Erbai, don't fight. You are the older brother and you should give in to your younger brother."

"And you, Sanbai, what are you doing? You have everything here, but you still want to snatch your brother's things. You've been spoiled!"

"Xiaobai, why are you the only rabbit that's so picky about food? You don't eat this or that. If you don't eat anything, I'll kill you first."

Lu Shi also didn't expect that a bunch of rabbits would control Qi Jin for so long.

Whenever Qi Jin had nothing to do, he would squat beside the nest and watch them. He would not be willing to leave even when his feet were numb, or he would bring a low stool and continue watching.

But how could the crown prince take care of small animals?

After five days of breeding, the first victim occurred.

Erbai died.

Because of Erbai's non-competitive character, its food is always plundered by Sanbai, who is closest to it. There is no food around it and it doesn't know to go to Dabai, who is not far away from it, to get it. Dabai has a small appetite and there are always piles of fresh grass around it that it can't eat.

In short, Erbai died of starvation and stupidity.

This was the first time Qi Jin experienced such a setback. After erecting Erbai's tombstone, he was secretly sad for a few days.

Just when he had finally recovered, he received the second piece of bad news.

Sanbai died.

The reason was that Sanbai had a huge appetite. He ate non-stop every day and took away Erbai's food, which led to constipation. After that, his loss of appetite was not taken seriously by Qi Jin. He thought Sanbai was sad about Erbai's death, and he also lamented the deep brotherhood between them.

The result was that the problem was not dealt with for a long time, and Sanbai passed away four days after Erbai.

A new companion has arrived next to the small grave.

Qi Jin learned his lesson. The consecutive loss of two little cuties made him start to pay attention to their relationship and diet. The remaining two should love each other and never bully each other.

He also feeds the two little cuties water on a regular basis every day, so constipation is impossible this time.

This time, the two rabbits are getting better and better.

But the good times didn't last long, and the third victim appeared.

Dabai also died.

The reason this time was not that complicated. As the year was coming to an end, the weather was getting colder and colder, and Dabai was frozen to death.

When Qi Jin woke up in the morning and went to check the rabbit hive as usual, Dabai's body was already stiff.

Because Qi Jin focused on cultivating the relationship between the two, Dabai protected Xiaobai tightly. Dabai was frozen but Xiaobai was still sleeping soundly.

Three small graves stand in a row.

Qi Jin, who had dug a hole again, was already numb.

He moved Xiaobai's nest from the yard to his room, and it should be safe now.

Lu Shi now doesn't know whether it is right or wrong to give him the rabbit. He is so nervous that he is even worried about eating. Later, he simply holds the rabbit in his arms and takes it wherever he goes.

One day, Lu Shi saw Qi Jin running towards him in the back mountain, his eyes wet and full of panic, and his voice choked with imperceptible sobs.

"Lu Shi, Xiaobai is dying, what should we do?"

Why can't he even raise a rabbit? He can't even keep one when there's only one left.

Qi Jin trembled and revealed Xiaobai in his arms.

Xiaobai was in a very bad condition. His little red eyes had turned slightly white and lost their luster. His small body was clearly having difficulty breathing. Taking deep breaths seemed to have no effect. His little head tilted back abnormally, and it looked like it was going to fall down in the next second.

Under the urging of Qi Jin's eyes, Lu Shi gently took Xiaobai, and the spiritual power slowly flowed through the small body.

After feeling the warm current, Xiaobai slowly shrank into Lu Shi's arms, with his two little paws tightly hooked on the clothes in front of him.

After its breathing gradually stabilized, Lu Shi fed it a small pill. Xiaobai closed his eyes tiredly and fell asleep in the warm space.

Qi Jin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems I'm not cut out for pets."

He spread his hands out in a helpless manner, his tone full of nonchalance. If you ignore the sadness and reluctance in his eyes, you might think he doesn't care.

Lu Shi smoothed Xiaobai's fur. The white and soft fur felt very good to the touch.

"Rabbits are sensitive and fragile animals. It must have been frightened after losing its brother."

It is very likely that Qi Jin carried it with him wherever he went, so it had a stress response to the ever-changing environment.

But he didn't need to say the following words to hurt someone's fragile heart.

"it will be fine after a while."

Lu Shi handed Xiaobai back to Qi Jin.

He injected some spiritual energy into the little creature and fed it a small pill. After that, its immunity would be greatly enhanced, making it less vulnerable to harm. If he was lucky, it might even develop spiritual intelligence.

What a pity! If it had intelligence, we wouldn’t be able to eat it.

Lu Shi held her impatiently.

Qi Jin hurriedly took Xiaobai and looked at Lu Shi seriously, then raised the corners of his mouth to reveal the first smile in recent days.

"thank you."

A gust of wind blew by, and the hair flew, blowing up the hems of their clothes. One green and one blue reflected each other, and they both fell into each other's territory.

"Need not."

Lu Shi lowered his eyebrows slightly, his smile was a little too bright...
