It's getting dark.
Rabbit Mom, Rabbit Dad and his children are all waiting for news from Lang.
But after waiting for a long time, it still didn't come.
They couldn't help but start to feel disappointed and prepared to send Brother Rabbit away again.
Only Yan Xi was still sleeping soundly in the rabbit hole, looking so free and easy.
As the appointed time approached, everyone calmed down, wiped away their tears, and collectively sent Brother Rabbit out of the hole.
Just at this time, the person sent by the patriarch to take away the tribute rabbit arrived.
Seeing them, Mother Rabbit couldn't hold back her tears any longer.
She had already been forced to lose ten children, and she never expected to lose another one, her first child.
Hearing her crying, the others also sobbed quietly.
The rabbits walking towards them were all puzzled when they saw them like this. "Yu, Mo, why are you crying? Did you know that the tribe leader has ordered that your rabbits cannot be taken away, and are you crying with joy?"
"Of course we're crying because of our eldest brother... huh?" The rabbit mother was halfway through her words when she suddenly froze, paused in her tears, and suddenly looked up at them. "W-what did you say?! The clan leader ordered that your rabbits not be taken away? Is this true? Did I hear correctly?"
"Mom, you heard it right, I heard it too!"
"Me too, Mom, it's true!"
Rabbit's father was still a little worried. He stepped forward, took the man's hand, and asked anxiously, "Old White, is what you said true?"
"Yes, the chief said it was the Gray Wolf Tribe's intention. I don't know what's going on. To be fair, we've already told everyone, fearing that others might have objections. Mo, you didn't make any deal with the Gray Wolf Tribe behind our backs, did you?"
Hearing this, Mo stroked his beard and said dryly, "What kind of deal can we have? Didn't you see it all? We were also surprised to hear the news."
He couldn't say that a big bad wolf suddenly jumped out and said it wanted to mate with his little rabbit.
"That's right." Old Bai nodded thoughtfully. "But I'm still happy for you. I envy your family for being so lucky to have escaped such a disaster. Well, enough talking. I still have to go collect the rabbits and report back."
Lao Bai waved his hand and the rabbit soldiers behind him followed him away.
After they walked away, the rabbit father and his family jumped for joy and hurried back into the cave.
"Children, listen to me, keep your voices down. Although we escaped a disaster, others are still in dire straits. If we cheer and encourage each other now, it will only make others jealous. You must be humble these days and not get too complacent. Also..." Rabbit Dad stroked his beard and looked at Yan Xi's rabbit nest, feeling a little worried. "The big bad wolf fulfilled his promise, and we should also take concrete actions. Everyone, say goodbye to Xi as soon as possible."
"this……"
Everyone looked at each other in confusion. A rabbit sister stood up and said worriedly, "Dad, is it really okay to just give Axi to him like this? Will the big bad wolf bully Axi?"
Brother Rabbit: "Dad, I'm a little worried too. He's a wolf after all, wild and hard to tame. If Xixi follows him, I'm afraid... he might eat her one day."
"Mo..." Rabbit's mother looked up at him worriedly.
Rabbit's father sighed, "At this point, what else can we do except fulfill our promise? If we anger him, not only Xi but also we will be doomed."
"In that case, Dad, let's cancel this agreement and let me out." Brother Rabbit said seriously.
"No, since that big gray wolf was able to change the Gray Wolf Tribe's mind, his identity must be extraordinary. If we break the promise now, it will not only hurt our family, but the entire Rabbit Tribe, so this promise must be fulfilled!"
Brother Rabbit: "But Xi..."
"Brother, you called me again..." Yan Xi came out of the nest in a daze, rubbing his sleepy eyes, yawning and saying, "What's the matter?"
When everyone saw him come out, they immediately fell silent.
Big Brother Rabbit opened his mouth but before he could say anything, Father Rabbit spoke first, "Xi, your Uncle Bai just came to inform us that the clan leader has ordered that our rabbits should not be taken away."
Hearing this, Yan Xi instantly woke up and looked at him with sparkling eyes, "Really? It means Lang really did it! I didn't expect him to be so trustworthy. But... why do you look so worried? Shouldn't you be very happy?"
The boy scratched his ear in confusion.
Rabbit's father pursed his lips, his eyes complicated, "He fulfilled his promise, and we should also fulfill our promise."
"Oh, yes." Yan Xi nodded, "Let me do this. I'll go and fulfill the promise by myself. Oh, I'll go and prepare first."
Seeing him look carefree, everyone was a little confused.
"Xixi, do you really want to go? Don't you want to think about it?"
"Axi, this is a serious matter, you should think about it again."
Yan Xi smiled and shook her head. "No need. I've already figured out what to do. Now I just need to wait for him to come back to me. Dad, Mom, brothers and sisters, you've been frightened all day and must be very tired. You should go and rest first. I'll go back to the nest and prepare."
The boy said this and happily jumped back to the rabbit hole, feeling very good.
"Xi's behavior... does it mean we don't have to worry anymore?"
"That should be it. He seems to really want to mate with Lang, and he's wagging his tail with joy."
"Does Xixi like the big bad wolf?"
"Since he's so happy, let's fulfill our promise."
"I just hope that big bad wolf won't be too rude. Xi is so delicate, she definitely won't be able to handle it."
“…”
Everyone was talking at once.
Rabbit Mom and Rabbit Dad looked at each other silently, fingers intertwined. After a long moment, Rabbit Mom said, "I hope the big bad wolf will be nicer to Xi."
"Judging from his behavior yesterday, he probably likes Xi very much, don't worry."
At this moment, everyone felt relieved.
Only Yan Xi was kept in the dark and carefully prepared the list of ingredients.
Hehe, Lang is the Big Bad Wolf and he must like meat very much. Let’s have an all-meat feast today. I believe he will be so happy after eating it that he will be at a loss as to what to do.
