Transmigrated to Ancient Times to Raise Cute Babies

One moment, Min Yueqing was living like an ox or a horse in the post-apocalyptic world, desperately hacking at zombies. The next moment, a delicately carved, soft, cute little cub appeared before h...

Chapter 148 Wild Boar

Dragging such a large creature at high speed, even Min Yueqing was exhausted. She pulled out a sturdy leather rope from her spatial storage, tied it around the wild boar's neck, and then mounted the horse.

This time, she focused her strength on her hands, only needing to pull the leather rope all the way.

Around noon, Min Yueqing reached the only road between the potato field and the patrol station. She untied the leather rope and dragged the wild boar to a big tree by the roadside.

Seeing the obvious sharp weapon wound on the wild boar's head, Min Yueqing immediately decided to give Xiao Wei a chance to try eating meat.

Xiao Wei is over two months old and it's time for him to get used to eating raw meat. Min Yueqing originally planned to cut off another piece for him when they returned to the courtyard, but things didn't go as planned. So she had to let Xiao Wei take it a step further and try to eat it on his own.

Min Yueqing placed Xiao Wei on the wild boar's wound. Xiao Wei's instincts made it immediately sniff around the wild boar's head. When Xiao Wei looked at Min Yueqing, Min Yueqing made a gesture of opening her mouth to eat without any politeness.

Whether or not Little Wei truly understood, it didn't hesitate this time and opened its mouth to bite the wild boar's wound.

When Xiao Wei first started biting, its movements were clumsy and awkward, but after a short while, it seemed to have learned on its own and began to be able to bite meat out of the wild boar's wounds.

Min Yueqing let Xiao Wei eat to its heart's content until it stopped on its own. Only then did Min Yueqing rinse the blood off Xiao Wei's mouth and body with water, and then picked it up with one hand.

Despite how much effort Little Wei put in, he didn't actually eat much meat. He's still too small and in a stage where he has the will but not the strength.

No worries, tigers grow very quickly, and in a few months it will be able to feast. By six months old, it will be weaned and become a true carnivore, and by about a year and a half, it will be able to hunt independently.

After pondering her words for a moment, Min Yueqing decided to personally visit the potato field and check on how the potato seedlings were growing.

Min Yueqing rode her whirlwind a short distance back to the potato field. The jailer was leading his bandits in weeding when he heard the sound of hooves. He looked up and saw Min Yueqing.

The jailer looked around behind Min Yueqing with suspicion, but couldn't see Pei Han. He was startled and had an unbelievable thought: Could it be that Madam came alone?

The jailer rushed towards Min Yueqing, stammering, "Madam, did you come alone? Why didn't you tell me you were coming? If the magistrates knew, they would be terribly worried!"

Min Yueqing waved her hand casually and said, "It's alright, it's not far. These potato seedlings look like they're growing quite well, thank you for your hard work."

The jailer scratched his head and chuckled, "This is all thanks to the Madam and the Lord. We didn't have to work hard at all."

Min Yueqing continued, "Since you have no further questions, I'll head back now."

Upon hearing that Min Yueqing wanted to go back, the jailer immediately said, "Then I'll send two of my men to escort you. Please wait a moment, I'll have them come over soon!"

After saying that, the jailer hurriedly ran back to the fields to call for help.

When the two constables ran over, Min Yueqing slowed down her horse to match their pace.

Not long after, Min Yueqing heard a surprised exclamation, "Ah! Look! There's a wild boar, a huge wild boar!"

The two constables pounced on the wild boar like they were on fire. One of them shouted, "Heavens! The blood is still warm. It doesn't look like it's been dead for long. We're rich! We'll have meat to eat today!"

A yamen runner trotted up to Min Yueqing and respectfully reported, "Madam, there's a wild boar over there that just died recently."

Min Yueqing showed a perfectly timed expression of surprise, then instructed, "Go and inform the others to come over. Since we've run into them, we might as well give them an extra meal."

The constable grinned from ear to ear, hurriedly agreed, and ran back.

This time, the jailer arrived even faster. If Min Yueqing wasn't mistaken, the jailer also brought a string of bandits with him. Min Yueqing chuckled to herself, thinking that these despicable bandits could finally use their power in the right place.

The jailer greeted Min Yueqing first, "Madam, it might get a bit messy later. Why don't you take two people with you and go back first? I'll handle things here and make sure the wild boar is brought back safely."

Min Yueqing smiled and said, "Alright, then you all be careful."

The jailer bowed his head in agreement and stood there watching her leave.

"Mother, where have you gone?"

As soon as Min Yueqing entered the inner courtyard, Pei Ji, who had been waiting eagerly in the courtyard, rushed up to her with a wronged expression.

Min Yueqing patted the little one holding her and comforted him, "I just went to check on the potato field, and I'm back in no time."

Pei Ji was still somewhat sullen. "Why didn't you take me with you?"

As the baby grows up, it's definitely not good for them to always be too attached to their mother. Considering the psychological trauma this might cause, a gradual desensitization process is more feasible.

Min Yueqing gently persuaded, "You also have your own tasks. Didn't you have to practice martial arts this morning? Look, I just suddenly remembered this and went to check on things. Why disrupt your plans because of this?"

"Then... can't I make it up this afternoon?" Pei Ji was clearly wavering.

Min Yueqing picked up her little one and walked towards the main room. "But you have tasks this afternoon. Don't you have to study and practice writing this afternoon? If we keep postponing our tasks, won't we just fall into a vicious cycle of 'tomorrow and tomorrow'?"

Pei Ji hugged Min Yueqing's neck and softly rested his head on her shoulder. He didn't argue anymore, but silently pondered "tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow."

Min Yueqing did not intend to rush things. Seeing that Pei Ji was no longer concerned about the issue of not taking him out, she did not say anything more.

A smart child like Pei Ji often only needs a little prompting to realize his own mistakes.

Xiao Wei had eaten its fill today and was in a particularly good mood. When it saw that the little child had taken its place again, it unusually did not go up to compete for the child's attention, but instead obediently followed Min Yueqing's feet.

It was lunchtime, so Min Yueqing carried Pei Ji to the dining room and poured a bowl of milk for Xiao Wei to drink.

After sitting for a short while, Pei Han strode in and asked Min Yueqing as soon as he entered, "Madam, I heard from the jailer that you went out alone today?"

Seeing Pei Han's worried look, Min Yueqing replied casually, "I just went to the potato field. It's very close, and Xiao Wei was with me."

After she finished speaking, she affectionately patted the back of Wei's head, and Wei cooperated by raising his head and making a "gurgling" sound of enjoyment.
