Chapter 286 The blind cat meets the dead mouse
No one paid much attention to the incident on the back mountain. Once Qin Xiaoxiao had enough of admiring the scenery at her feet, Jingheng was ready to take her down the mountain.
"Where's Heitan? Where's Heitan?" Qin Xiaoxiao didn't see Heitan. He looked around and called twice, but still didn't see it. He said with some worry: "Brother Li, let's go find it quickly."
Black charcoal!"
Jing Heng showed no trace of worry: "Don't worry about it, it knows the way back."
Qin Xiaoxiao was worried and pulled him to sit on a clean big stone: "Let's wait for Hei Tan to come back and go down the mountain together. Maybe Hei Tan can catch a fat rabbit!"
Jing Heng sneered: "It's almost like catching a rabbit."
Seeing Qin Xiaoxiao's confusion, Scissors on the side added: "Heitan can't catch rabbits, it can't even catch koi in the pond."
Anyway, after raising him for more than a year, he has not even seen a rabbit fur. Every time he comes back from outside, he is like a starving ghost reincarnated. It is certain that he has not caught any prey.
Qin Xiaoxiao was in disbelief, and said: "No, such a small cat can catch rabbits, why can't Heitan catch it? Is it because Brother Li didn't feed it enough, and it doesn't have the strength to chase it?"
Fuck a rabbit?"
Jing Heng frowned and finally realized the problem, so he ordered Scissors: "From now on, Hei Tan's food will be halved. If he can't catch prey within a month, halve it again!"
In short, it has to be reduced until Heitan can catch prey and be self-reliant. It's not that the huge princess mansion can't afford a black wild raccoon, it's that he doesn't bother to keep a useless cat that can do nothing but meow and howl!
"Brother Li, this is not good, Hei Tan will starve..." Qin Xiaoxiao did not expect that her casual words would push Hei Tan into a situation where he was about to starve, and hurriedly interceded for Hei Tan.
But in the middle of her words, Heitan emerged from nowhere, cried "Meow" and threw herself into her arms, rolling around and acting like a baby. The dirt on her paws made her clothes dirty.
"Heitan, have you caught the rabbit?" Qin Xiaoxiao held its front paws and used a slight force to expose its paws. He found that there was no blood or rabbit hair on it, and he opened its mouth and took a look.
, still clean and nothing.
The little girl felt sorry for Hei Tan, patted his head and encouraged him: "You will definitely catch the rabbit, just like your uncle Chubby!"
"Meow~" Heitan responded, turning over to reveal his soft belly. The intention of inviting Qin Xiaoxiao to scratch his belly was very obvious.
"It's so cute!" Qin Xiaoxiao happily indulged it and stroked its belly twice with her little paws. Before the third stroke could reach its tail, a rustling sound suddenly came from the dense bushes.
"Who?" Rock-Paper-Scissors stared at the grass in surprise, holding the handle of the knife at his waist tightly with his right hand.
The next moment, a gray rabbit jumped out and hit the big tree in front of them with a "dong" sound. Its hind legs kicked off and made no sound.
At this time, Hei Tan, who was lying in Qin Xiaoxiao's arms, suddenly jumped up, rushed under the big tree, fished up the dead fat rabbit, and happily ran to Qin Xiaoxiao and Jing Heng to claim credit: "Meow woo."
~”
He looked so proud, as if he had caught the rabbit.
"Li, awesome, Hei Tan is so powerful." Qin Xiaoxiao praised Hei Tan sincerely, and said to Jing Heng: "Brother Li, Hei Tan has caught a rabbit, don't reduce its food!"
Jing Heng was speechless for a moment, and when he saw Qin Xiaoxiao's smiling face that was looking forward to pleasing him, he had an idea and made a request: "Unless it can catch a rabbit every three days, let it starve and force it to hunt!"
Qin Xiaoxiao didn't know the "trap" in it. He patted Heitan on the head and said happily: "Heitan, you have to work hard. If you catch a rabbit in three days, you won't be hungry!"
"Meow~" Heitan rubbed the palm of her hand, then lowered his head and licked the rabbit, as if he understood.
From then on, Heitan really brought back a rabbit every three days, and these rabbits either hit themselves on the trees and died, or ran up to it and squatted down in front of it, and then were carried home by it.
In short, other black wild beavers can only catch rabbits based on their ability. Heitan can catch rabbits only because the blind cat hits the dead mouse. I have to say that this guy is very lucky. He will not starve to death if he is kicked out by Jing Heng one day.
.
Because of this, Jingheng was almost certain that the plague that did not appear at the beginning of the year was related to Qin Xiaoxiao, and he also had certain guesses about her abilities, which also made him finally understand the Qin family's anxiety of fearing that their secrets would be exposed.
After Heitan finished eating the fat rabbit happily, the group took it down the mountain with its round belly.
Before this year's little porcelain figures were made, Jingheng took Qin Xiaoxiao to the market and bought two little sugar figures. Then they went to the house of a craftsman who was good at making porcelain and made a pair of little ones similar to last year's.
Clay figurine.
But when they were pinching, Heitan lay on Qin Xiaoxiao's lap and refused to move. He was pinched all at once, so that the legs of the little clay figurine were covered by Heitan's huge body.
After making an appointment to pick it up two days later, Jingheng continued to take Qin Xiaoxiao for a stroll until nightfall before returning to the princess mansion.
After dinner, Jing Heng personally sent Qin Xiaoxiao back to the Number One Scholar's Mansion. When he arrived at the gate of the Number One Scholar's Mansion, he did not forget to tell him: "Next time you come to the capital, remember to find me at the Princess Mansion."
Qin Xiaoxiao nodded: "Brother Li, I understand."
Jing Heng rubbed her head and wanted to remind her not to make promises to others easily in the future. He just looked at her body that just reached her chest and finally turned it into a short sentence: "If you want anything or do anything in the future, just write it down."
In the letter, don’t say anything to others at will.”
Qin Xiaoxiao was puzzled: "Why can't you say it? Can't your grandparents say it too?"
Seeing her ignorant look, Jing Heng was very tired and deliberately threatened with a stern face: "You can tell your grandparents, but I also want to know. If I know that you tell others about the new dishes made by the cook,
It’s not your place to eat!”
Qin Xiaoxiao's favorite thing is the various snacks made by the cook of the Princess Mansion, and there are a lot of them on the carriage of the Number One Scholar's Mansion behind her. When Jing Heng threatened her, she was so frightened that she nodded her head: "Listen to you
Yes, I will listen to you and don’t tell anyone else.”
Jing Heng felt a little relieved and couldn't help but pinch her little face: "You little fool, grow up quickly."
Qin Xiaoxiao couldn't hear the worry in her words, and said cheerfully: "I will eat well, and I will soon be as tall as Brother Li.
Jing Heng rarely smiled and did not scold her for being stupid.
The next morning, Qin Xiaoxiao left the capital with Qin Shan. On the carriage were not only the festive gifts prepared by Qin He and his wife for the Qin family, but also gifts from the princess mansion.
Qinhe and his wife didn't ask for these gifts, so the father and daughter took them all back.
