Chapter 153 Last night, again and again
Xie Yanli was like a vicious wolf last night.
He wanted nothing less than to tear her apart and devour her whole.
It's really scary.
Just a few days ago, she had been using her hands to help him...
"Miss," Xiaohe called out upon hearing a soft sound from inside, "Do you wish to get up?"
"What time is it now?"
Qin Jiuwei sensed something was wrong as soon as she spoke.
Why has her voice become so hoarse...?
It felt like it had been rubbed by rough sandpaper.
Qin Jiuwei couldn't help but recall the absurd scene from last night.
She was pinned to the edge of the bathtub, and no matter how much she begged for mercy, it was no use...
Xiaohe replied respectfully, "Miss, it's already noon."
Why didn't you call me?
"The young master said that Miss is tired and wants her to sleep more so that we won't disturb her." Xiaohe's voice was filled with joy. "The young master really cares about Miss."
Qin Jiuwei gave a soft hum.
If he truly cared for her, he wouldn't have done it again and again last night.
After washing up, Granny Song brought over a bowl of dark, murky medicine and placed it in front of Qin Jiuwei.
Qin Jiuwei didn't raise her eyebrows or eyes, picked up the glass and drank it down in one gulp.
She and Xie Yanli have reached an agreement on this matter; now is not the time to have a child.
This contraceptive medicine needs to be taken continuously.
After having some food, Qin Jiuwei lay back down on the soft couch to rest.
Xiaohe massaged her to help her relax.
"Where are the children?" Qin Jiuwei asked softly, her eyes still closed.
"Young Master Chun and the young master went hunting behind the manor, Young Master Jing is reading, and Young Master Jue is sleeping."
Qin Jiuwei nodded; she didn't need to worry too much about these three children.
It wasn't until the afternoon that Qin Jiuwei fully recovered.
Xie Jue had just woken up, so Qin Jiuwei took him out to play.
The hot spring resort is located in the outskirts of Beijing, in a very secluded area.
Correspondingly, there are also more small animals.
As Qin Jiuwei was strolling with Xie Jue, she saw a little gray rabbit dart past them.
"Mother!" Xie Jue's eyes lit up immediately upon seeing the little rabbit. "Shall we go catch a little rabbit?"
He tugged at Qin Jiuwei's sleeve and shook it gently, blinking his big eyes and pleading, "Please? Please? Please~"
Qin Jiuwei couldn't stand Xie Jue's behavior the most.
She reached out and pinched the soft flesh on his little face, and said gently, "Okay, Jue-ge'er likes little rabbits, so let's catch a little rabbit to play with."
Xie Jue chuckled; his mother was still the best to him.
After saying that, the mother and son got busy.
Qin Jiuwei found some thin branches and skillfully began to weave a simple trap frame.
To be honest, Qin Jiuwei had no idea how to catch rabbits.
In her previous life, she never even caught a butterfly in the palace.
The Imperial Garden is the most dangerous place in the palace, so she wouldn't go there unless there was something wrong.
But seeing Xie Jue so enthusiastic, she couldn't bear to spoil the child's fun.
Just consider it as playing along with him.
Qin Jiuwei's fingers moved nimbly among the branches.
Before long, a prototype appeared.
Xie Jue wasn't idle either; he squatted down beside him.
Her little hands carefully gathered the dry grass on the ground, and she muttered to herself, "I'll make a warm little nest for the little rabbit, and it will come in obediently."
The trap was set near a bush, and that's where the rabbit darted in.
Qin Jiuwei set up the trap and scattered some corn kernels around it to lure the rabbits into the trap.
Xie Jue opened his eyes wide, staring intently at the direction of the trap, not daring to breathe.
However, as time passed, there was still no movement from the other side of the trap.
Xie Jue's little face gradually fell, her little mouth pouted, and she looked at Qin Jiuwei with a wronged expression: "Mother, why isn't the little rabbit here yet?"
Qin Jiuwei gently comforted her, "Don't worry, let's wait a little longer."
After a while, a gentle breeze rustled through the grass.
Xie Jue was so excited she almost jumped up: "Mother, is the little rabbit here?"
He quickly went over to take a look, only to find that the trap was all alone in the same spot.
There wasn't even a trace of a rabbit.
Xie Jue was a little discouraged. She plopped down on the grass and kept tugging at the dry grass around her with her little hands.
Hmph! Bad rabbit! Stinky rabbit!
Not far away at that moment.
Xie Yanli was dressed in a dark, close-fitting outfit, the black clothes clinging to his broad, strong chest and muscular arms.
A wide leather belt around his waist accentuated his lean and powerful physique.
His dark hair was tied up high, with a few stray strands fluttering in the wind, making him appear even more aloof.
He held a powerful bow, its body made of tough rosewood, the bowstring taut, like a cheetah poised to pounce.
Xie Jingchun followed behind him, also dressed in a dark blue outfit.
With his hair standing on end and his slender face, his youthful spirit was even more pronounced.
He had a small dagger at his waist, the scabbard of which was intricately patterned; it was a gift from Xie Yanli.
They rode their horses through the woods.
The weather was fine today, so Xie Yanli took Xie Jingchun deep into the mountains and taught him some hunting techniques.
Xie Yanli's eyes were sharp as he keenly scanned his surroundings, not missing a single movement.
Suddenly, his eyes narrowed, and he raised his hand to signal Xie Jingchun to be quiet. There was a slight tremor in the bushes not far away.
Xie Yanli quickly nocked an arrow and drew his bow, the muscles in his arms bulging.
The bow was drawn to its fullest extent, the arrowhead gleaming coldly in the sunlight, pointing directly at the prey.
Xie Jingchun held her breath and stared intently at his every move, her eyes filled with admiration.
Suddenly, a wild deer leaped out.
Xie Yanli reacted quickly, releasing his grip.
With a "whoosh," the bowstring snapped, and the arrow shot out like lightning.
The arrow hit the wild deer with perfect accuracy.
"Excellent archery!" Xie Jingchun couldn't help but cheer, his eyes filled with excitement.
Xie Yanli didn't raise his eyebrows, seemingly not thinking there was anything wrong with it.
He turned to look at him and said in a deep voice, "What you need most when hunting is patience and sharp eyesight."
Xie Jingchun nodded vigorously, indicating that he had remembered.
After saying that, the two continued walking through the forest.
Before long, the sound of birds flapping their wings came from ahead, and a flock of pheasants took flight in fright.
Seeing this, Xie Jingchun couldn't wait to try his skills.
He quickly nocked the arrow and drew the bow, his expression very serious.
Xie Yanli watched quietly from the side, offering guidance when needed: "Keep your arm steady and keep your eyes fixed on the target."
Encouraged, Xie Jingchun took a deep breath, released the bowstring, and the arrow whistled away.
But in the end, the arrows failed to hit the pheasants, and instead startled them so much that they flew higher and farther away, fleeing in panic.
Xie Jingchun slumped his shoulders, looking somewhat annoyed and disappointed.
"It's alright," Xie Yanli said. "This is already very good for your first time hunting. You'll get better with more practice."
Xie Jingchun nodded vigorously after hearing Xie Yanli's words.
The two continued walking into the forest, their figures gradually disappearing among the dense foliage, leaving only the rustling sounds of their startled creatures.
Xie Jingchun is indeed extremely talented.
He only missed the first time, but after that, he never missed again. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was always right.
In just one hour, the father and son had a great harvest, having shot and killed quite a few prey.
But they didn't take the prey; they shot it and then left it alone.
Xie Yanli brought Xie Jingchun along only to train him.
If Xie Jingchun wants to go to the battlefield in the future, the patience and sharp eyesight required for hunting are extremely important in war.
After the two finished hunting, on their way back, they saw a large and a small figure squatting by the grass, doing something.
"What are you doing?"
A deep, pleasant voice suddenly sounded from behind.
