Ang Lee hasn't skied for a long time, especially in the past few years when he went south to open up the Maritime Silk Road. There was no heavy snow at all, let alone skiing.
Although there have been heavy snowfalls several times this year, the thickness of the snow was not enough. Only this heavy snowstorm met the basic needs of skiing because too thin snow can't cover all the soil layers.
Seeing that Ning 'er and Yi' er were practicing well, Ang Lee also put on his skis and followed behind them, guiding them seriously with words. Li Yu couldn't bear it anymore and also took a skis and galloped in the snow.
However, Li Yu's skiing level is not good, and he hasn't practiced for a long time. So, after a while, in front of everyone, he performed a dog gnawing on the snow. After a long time, he got up. After all, he didn't wear protective equipment and fell a bit hard.
"Hahaha …"
Seeing Li Yu fall, naturally, many people laughed. The guard just smiled briefly and immediately restrained his smile. Ning 'er and Yi' er laughed out loud, but they were afraid of being scolded and immediately covered their mouths. Ang Lee laughed the loudest and most casually.
Li Yu was embarrassed in front of everyone, but this is also because he is not good at skiing, so he can't blame others.
"I haven't practiced for a long time, I'm actually so rusty, I was careless."
Li Yu was not very angry, and his tone was still gentle.
"It's okay, it's normal. When I learned to ski, I fell and hurt my face, haha!"
Ang Lee said self-deprecatingly to give Li Yu some face.
"They're back, they seem to have caught their prey."
Ang Lee looked at the figure in the distance and said.
That's right, the two guards that he had sent out were already on their way back with the prey.
"White, is it a little white rabbit?"
Ning 'er was looking forward to it.
"It should be, but it's a big white rabbit, not a little white rabbit."
Ang Lee explained with a smile.
After all, judging from the size of the rabbit in the guard's arms, it was definitely a big fat rabbit and definitely not an ordinary little rabbit.
"Assistant Minister Li, we followed the footprints and caught two white rabbits."
The two guards each caught a rabbit. They were all fresh rabbits, and their bodies were not damaged in the slightest.
"Capturing two White Rabbits alive can only be done when the snow is very deep!"
Ang Lee's eyes were filled with excitement.
The guard hurriedly said, "The snow is very thick. When we chased after them, although these two rabbits were very anxious to escape, they ran very slowly in the snow. When we saw this, we put away our bows and arrows and directly used our hands to catch them."
"Not bad, not bad, not bad at all. Eh, this female rabbit is too fat! Do you have a baby in your stomach? "
Ang Lee reached out and took a relatively large rabbit. He gently stroked its stomach and found that there was indeed something strange. There seemed to be a small rabbit in its stomach.
"Elder brother, is it a little rabbit?"
Ning 'er asked curiously.
"It is a little rabbit, and there is more than one. There is a nest of little rabbits, and the little rabbit even kicked me with its feet. It is quite strong. "
Ang Lee's words were half true and half false. At first glance, it was obvious that he was teasing the children. It was true that there was a nest of little rabbits in the mother rabbit's stomach, but the little rabbit kicking Ang Lee was made up by Ang Lee in order to arouse the interest of the two little girls.
"Really? Let me hug it, okay? "
Ning 'er asked.
"Of course, come, hold it. This rabbit is quite strong, be careful not to kick you."
Ang Lee said with a smile and handed the big white rabbit in his arms to Ning 'er. Although the big white rabbit was quite strong, it was after all just a rabbit. Its energy was still very limited, and it would not hurt Ning' er. Ang Lee was absolutely assured about this.
"Is there really a little rabbit in this big belly? Why can't I feel it? The little rabbit did not kick me! I touched it for a long time and it did not kick me once. "
Ning 'er frowned and looked at Ang Lee with a puzzled expression.
The little rabbit had not grown up yet. How much strength could the baby rabbit in the mother rabbit's stomach have? Naturally, it would not have the strength to kick. Moreover, even if it did kick, it would not be felt through the thick rabbit skin.
"Maybe the baby rabbit likes you, so it did not kick."
Ang Lee said casually.
"It is snowing heavily today, so there is no way to use the barbecue stove. It seems that we can only make a fire to roast the rabbit meat. The meat of the baby rabbit must be very delicious. There is no need to skin it."
Li Yu said.
Hearing this, Ning 'er begged, "Brother Wang, can you not eat the little rabbit? I want to take it back and watch the mother rabbit give birth to the little rabbit."
"Brother Wang, keep the little rabbit! It is too cute, and there is a baby in its stomach. "
Yi 'er also persuaded.
Li Yu smiled faintly, looked at Ang Lee, and said, "These two wild rabbits were killed by Assistant Minister Li's guards, so they naturally belong to Assistant Minister Li. You should ask him!"
"Brother Wang, can we?"
Ning 'er and Yi' er both looked at Ang Lee. It was obvious that they liked the little rabbit alive.
"Of course, as long as you like it, you can take it back and keep it. However, the rules in the palace are very strict. Can we keep rabbits?"
Ang Lee said.
"It's okay. We are very familiar with the palace servants in the woodshed. It will not be discovered if we keep it in the woodshed."
Yi 'er said.
"Okay! Then you can keep it! As long as you are happy. "
Ang Lee said, then looked at Li Yu and said, "It is not time for lunch yet. Let's enjoy the snow and ski here. Why don't you let the guards spread out to look for prey? You can ride or ski, and you will be rewarded if you catch any prey. "
Although he couldn't eat the little rabbit, Li An didn't want to eat the food he brought. It was better to eat some wild game to make him happy. At this moment, he had to stay behind to accompany the two little girls to ski, so the task of hunting could only be left to the guards. These guards were all experts in the army, so hunting wasn't a problem for them.
Li Yu nodded and said, "Okay! That's exactly what I was thinking. Leave six guards behind and the rest of you go hunting! "
Soon, a large group of people rushed to hunt. Li Yu left six guards, while Ang Lee only left two, a total of eight people. Including Li Yu, Ang Lee, and the two girls, there were only twelve people. However, they were safe in the forest. There was no need to worry about that.
"Little rabbit, why don't you eat the cake?"
Ning 'er put the delicious cake she brought to the little rabbit's mouth. Unfortunately, the little rabbit was still in shock and did not eat the cake at all. It just sniffed gently and then turned its face away. It seemed that it had no interest in this kind of food.
"Little rabbit, eat some candy, eat some!"
Yi 'er was even more powerful. She put a large piece of candy in front of the rabbit's mouth. However, the rabbit still did not appreciate it and did not eat it. Moreover, it was obviously a little flustered.
Li Yu couldn't stand it anymore and reprimanded, "You are really stupid. How can rabbits eat cakes? Rabbits eat carrots and grass. Someone, bring some vegetables over. "
When they set out, they brought a lot of food, whether it was meat, seasoning, or even vegetables, they brought a lot. Even if it was not too late to eat it, they still had to bring it. What if it was used? Obviously, it was used at this moment.
"Come, little rabbit, eat some vegetables!"
Li Yu personally fed the little rabbit.
However, this time, the little rabbit still did not give face. Moreover, it seemed to be even more flustered. It had no intention to eat at all.
"Oh, you actually went on a hunger strike. Eat, do you want to eat or not?"
Li Yu was angered and directly forced the little rabbit to eat. The little rabbit was frightened and struggled violently, trying to escape from Li Yu's claws.
"Hahaha! If the little rabbit doesn't want to eat, you don't have to force it. When it's time to eat, it will naturally eat. "
Ang Lee said calmly.
"When is the time to eat? When is the time to eat? Is it when it's hungry?"
Ning 'er asked.
"That's right, but that's not all. Also, the rabbit will only eat when it feels safe. If you hold the rabbit in your arms, it will be very scared. After all, it has just been caught and its heart hasn't calmed down yet. Of course, it won't eat. Come, I've prepared a cage here. Put the rabbit and the vegetables in the cage together. After a while, it will naturally eat."
Ang Lee said with a smile.
As he spoke, he placed the two rabbits into the rabbit cage that he had prepared beforehand. Li An had specially brought this cage with him so that he could store the live prey that he had caught. After all, the snow was very thick today. In this kind of weather, it was very realistic to catch live prey. Therefore, he had specially prepared this cage. If it was any other time, he would not have prepared it.
"It has been put in the cage. Why doesn't the little rabbit eat the vegetables?"
Ning 'er asked.
"The little rabbit is still very scared. Let's go further away and continue to ski. When we come back later, there will be no vegetables left."
Ang Lee said.
"Oh, let's continue to ski!"
It was rare for them to have such an unbridled opportunity to ski. The four of them skied together and skied back and forth in a rather large area. They had a lot of fun. When they were having fun, they almost forgot about the little rabbit.
It was not until several guards returned that Ang Lee and others remembered that the little rabbit was still far away, so they quickly went to see the little rabbit.
"More than half of the vegetables have been eaten. It's really time to eat."
Ning 'er said excitedly.
"Little rabbit, eat more. That way, you can grow faster."
Yi 'er also said.
"You actually caught a yellow sheep. You're good!"
Ang Lee looked at his guards and praised them.
"The snow in the north is much thicker than here. The yellow sheep can't run fast in the snow, but we were all going downhill. It didn't take long for us to catch up. We killed one with one arrow. When we killed the second one, we encountered a hillside. It was not easy to catch up with them. It was not easy to catch up with them, so we came back."
The guard replied.
"Well done. It's already very good. Two yellow sheep. This harvest is really not small. We can't finish it even if we have more. You guys take a rest first! Let the two of them deal with the yellow sheep. "
Ang Lee ordered.
Seeing this, Li Yu ordered the four guards under his command to pick up dry branches nearby and prepare to make a bonfire to cook the Mongolian gazelle.
Ning 'er and Yi' er were still playing with the little rabbit. They stuffed a lot of vegetables into the cage. They thought that the little rabbit was very cute. In the palace, they couldn't see the rabbit because the rabbit's smell was relatively strong. Raising rabbits would disturb others, but secretly raising rabbits in inconspicuous places is also okay, as long as there are not a lot of rabbits, they can be fed a little at ordinary times.
After the little rabbit calmed down, they began to eat vegetables because they were really hungry. If not, they would not run out to look for food in the winter.
According to the living habits of wild rabbits, in winter, they generally don't leave the nest because they will keep eating in autumn, making themselves very fat. Their whole body is covered with thick fat. In this way, after winter, they can survive for a long time even if they don't eat. But there are also some rabbits who don't eat well in winter, resulting in insufficient body fat.
So, in winter, they have to brave the cold to look for food. The rabbit that was caught in front of them was even more strange. It was actually a pregnant female rabbit. As a result, the body's need for various nutrients is even greater. It is obviously not enough to rely on body fat alone. It also needs additional food to ensure the normal needs of the body. Coming out to look for food in snowy weather is also a helpless act.
In this way, the little rabbit is also very pitiful. In order to survive, it did not hesitate to come out to look for food in snowy weather. It is very sympathetic, but rabbit meat is also very delicious. In the face of appetite, human sympathy is greatly reduced. After all, humans also need to survive. Eating rabbit meat is eating, but eating chickens, ducks and geese is not eating. Humans can't change their living habits to eat exclusively vegetarian! This is also not conducive to the health of humans.
However, it was also the fault of these two rabbits for not choosing the right time to give birth. In the early summer season, they could have given birth, which was also convenient to take care of. But now that it was winter, they actually continued to give birth, which was not very appropriate. After all, in winter, the weather was too cold, and it was very difficult to obtain food.
But rabbits were just small animals. In this era of the Great Tang, even humans didn't have good contraceptive measures, much less rabbits. And when a male rabbit had a need, he would definitely not hold back. He would directly pounce on a female rabbit, and after a round of pleasure, the male rabbit would be fine, but the female rabbit was miserable. She had a baby in her belly.
However, according to scientific research, when the weather is cold, all kinds of animals will adjust their body structure so that they will not be pregnant. In this way, naturally, the situation of rabbits carrying babies in winter will not occur. But there are exceptions to everything. The rabbit that was caught in front of them is a very unlucky pregnant rabbit. The fate waiting for this pregnant rabbit is to be captured by humans and lose its freedom forever.
"Enough is enough. Don't feed too much. If you feed too much, the rabbit will be stuffed to death. It's enough. It's enough."
Seeing that the two have been feeding the little rabbit, Ang Lee quickly advised.
