Opening a Tavern in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 184: A few white rabbits, caught and raised

Yu Yu continued walking in the lantern festival with Bichon Frise in her arms, and before she knew it, she came to a slightly quieter place.

This place is not as noisy and crowded as other places. There are potted flowers and plants of various shapes placed around. Under the light, they exude a unique elegance.

Just as everyone was looking around curiously, they suddenly saw a few white rabbits gathered on the grass not far away.

The white rabbit was snow-white without a trace of other colors. Under the halo of moonlight and light, it looked like an elf fallen from the sky to the earth, with a soft luster.

Some of them were lying lazily on the grass, their ears trembling slightly, as if paying attention to the movements around them; others were jumping around, chasing and playing with each other, and their lively appearance made people feel happy.

Yuyu's eyes lit up at once, and she walked over very carefully, afraid of disturbing these cute little guys, and said in a low voice: "Wow, look, there are so many little white rabbits, so cute."

Cheng Chumo also followed with light steps, saying with a smile, "Hey, there are actually white rabbits in this lantern festival, how rare! I guess someone brought them here to add to the fun."

Qin Huaidao nodded in agreement, his eyes full of admiration, and said softly: "It's really interesting. Look at how comfortable they are. It makes people's hearts melt."

Li Hao couldn't help but take out a small handful of green leaves he had bought earlier, and carefully handed them over, wanting to try to feed them.

A braver white rabbit saw it, and at first it pricked up its ears alertly, sniffing with its little nose. After a while, it probably smelled the fragrance of the vegetables.

It slowly came over and took a tentative bite of the leaves. Its cautious and greedy look made everyone laugh.

Xiaoyu looked at this warm and interesting scene and said with a smile, "It's rare to see such cute white rabbits. They really add a touch of color to this lantern festival. But let's not disturb them for too long. Let them stay here."

Although Yu Yu was a little reluctant, she nodded obediently, hugged the Bichon Frise and took a few steps back, then stood there quietly watching the white rabbits continue playing.

The white rabbits seemed to have sensed everyone's kindness and continued to move freely in this small corner.

Xiaoyu looked at the cute white rabbits and thought that although they were fun to watch in the lantern festival, it would be bad if they were accidentally hurt or got lost.

So, she whispered to Yuyu and the others, "It's really worrying to leave these white rabbits here. Let's take them back. It would be nice to keep them at home."

When Yuyu heard this, her eyes lit up immediately and she nodded repeatedly, saying, "Okay, okay, Mom, if you take them back, we can watch them every day. How interesting."

Cheng Chumo also agreed with a smile: "It's indeed a good idea. These white rabbits are so cute. Taking them home to raise will make the future more lively. If they are here, it will be terrible if they are separated by too many people later."

Qin Huaidao and Li Hao also thought it was reliable and nodded in agreement.

Xiaoyu did it right away. She first found an unused small bamboo basket nearby, cleaned the basket, and then she and Yuyu and the others carefully drove the white rabbit into the basket.

The white rabbits were a little frightened at first, jumping around, but with everyone's gentle comfort, they gradually calmed down and entered the bamboo basket one after another.

Xiaoyu gently lifted the bamboo basket and said with a smile, "Let's go. We'll take them home now. But we have to hold them steady and don't let them shake."

Yuyu held the Bichon and followed Xiaoyu closely. As they walked, she would occasionally look into the bamboo basket and mutter, "Little white rabbits, you will have a home in the future. There are so many fun things in our home. You will definitely like it."

Cheng Chumo joked, "Yuyu, you have to take good care of them. If the white rabbits grow meat, it will all be thanks to you."

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and they talked and laughed all the way, walking briskly towards home.

After returning home, Xiaoyu found a clean and spacious place, spread some soft hay, and released the white rabbits from the bamboo basket.

The white rabbits first looked around cautiously, and after a while, they began to move freely. Some rolled on the hay, while others gathered together, as if sharing their feelings about the new environment.

Yuyu looked at them and was very happy: "Hahaha"

She sat down beside them and looked at the white rabbits quietly.

Cheng Chumo looked at the sky, then at the white rabbits that were already moving freely in their new home. He smiled and said to Yuyu and Xiaoyu, "It's getting late. Huaidao and I have to go back, otherwise our family will be worried."

Qin Huaidao nodded and agreed, "Yes, it's really fun to visit the Lantern Festival today, but we should go back now. Let's go out and play together next time if we have the chance."

When Yu Yu heard this, an expression of reluctance immediately appeared on her face. She stood up and walked towards the two of them.

She pulled their sleeves and muttered, "Brother Cheng, Brother Qin, you're leaving so soon. I want to play with you for a while longer."

Xiaoyu walked over with a smile, patted Yuyu's head gently, and said, "Silly girl, they have to go home eventually. We all had a great time today. There will be plenty of opportunities to get together in the future."

Cheng Chumo scratched his head, looking at Yuyu's reluctant expression, and hurriedly comforted her, "Yuyu, don't be reluctant. We're not far away. We can meet again when we return to Zuixianlou the day after tomorrow. Today's Lantern Festival is so interesting thanks to you."

Qin Huaidao also smiled and said, "That's right, today's guessing of riddles, the lanterns, and meeting these white rabbits are all so unforgettable."

After hearing this, Yuyu's eyes lit up, and she slowly loosened her grip on their sleeves. She nodded obediently and said, "Okay, Brother Cheng and Brother Qin, be careful on the road, and don't forget to play together next time."

Xiaoyu also reminded: "Well, be careful when you go back and say hello to your families for us."

"I understand, Xiaoyu. Let's go now." After saying goodbye to Qin Huaidao, Cheng Chumo walked out the door, turning back and waving to Yuyu, Xiaoyu and Li Hao as he walked.

Yu Yu stood at the door, holding the Bichon in her arms, looking at their backs until their figures gradually disappeared into the night, then she turned around and went back to the yard.
