Is Qin Zeng coaxing her?
Li Qingyi was a little unsure.
Perhaps it was because he was sorry for her perfunctory attitude just now that he expressed it in this roundabout way.
"Thank you..."
Li Qingyi hugged the little fox tightly and responded softly to his words.
She didn't want to cause any further trouble, thinking that since the other party had softened her attitude, she would just take a step back.
But then I thought about it, in my previous life, I was like a little fox in his arms, trying to take advantage of his authority. She was careful to please her every day and never disobeyed, for fear that his authority would not blow her away. How dare you lose your temper with him!
After his rebirth, he actually had "hardened wings" and dared to play tricks with Qin Zeng!
Thinking about this, a little joy suddenly emerged in her heart.
Qin Zeng will care about her mood and will give her gifts to make her happy.
There is finally a little bit of equality between me and him.
Over the years, she has been accustomed to trying to please him, but she has never been able to put herself on an equal footing with him.
He is so powerful, just showing off his feathers can protect her from worries.
But Li Qingyi didn't want to hide under his wings forever. She also wanted to be able to protect him from the wind and rain at some point, to relieve him when he was confused, and to give him a bit of strength when he was vulnerable.
This is probably the original intention of Li Qingyi to solve everything by himself and try not to ask Qin Zeng for help.
Li Qingyi realized at this moment that she actually wanted to prove herself to Qin Zeng!
She wanted to walk side by side with Qin Zeng instead of relying on him forever.
After thinking about this, Li Qingyi's mood became clear and calm. She looked up at Qin Zeng and smiled, "Thank you for your trouble, sir. I like this little fox very much."
Qin Zeng saw the sudden change in her expression and was lost for a moment.
Just because he "took the trouble" for her made her so happy?
Qin Zeng felt a lot more at ease, "As long as you like it."
The two of them were in a better mood, which made everyone feel relaxed.
A few men moved quickly and set up a large fire again. On the rack were skewered venison, as well as the rabbit and pheasant that Song Yang had roasted just now. After a while, the venison also began to sizzle and drip with oil. Song Yang dutifully sprinkled salt spray on it. Song Yang and Lei Ye were turning the wooden sticks to try to roast the venison evenly.
Qin Zeng poked the fire with a wooden stick and adjusted the size of the fire from time to time.
The aroma of meat wafted away, and everyone's stomachs began to churn with greed.
Seeing that the rabbit on the fire rack was already roasted on the outside and tender on the inside, Gongsun Yi first divided the meat between Li Miaoran and Li Yuanzhi, then pulled off a rabbit leg and handed it to Li Qingyi.
Li Qingyi was holding the little fox and thinking about something when he suddenly saw the rabbit leg stretched out. He said softly, "Yeah" and was about to reach out to pick it up. Qin Zeng said: "She doesn't like eating rabbits."
When everyone heard this, they all looked towards Li Qingyi.
Li Qingyi was a little embarrassed. When did she not like eating rabbits?
Song Yang exclaimed exaggeratedly: "No wonder Miss Li was indifferent to the rabbit I roasted just now. It turns out she doesn't like eating rabbits. What a mistake! What a mistake!"
Everyone's attention was attracted to him, and Li Qingyi smiled apologetically at Gongsun Yi.
Qin Zeng had already told her what she could do, but she couldn't refute him.
Gongsun Yi shook his head and gave the rabbit leg to Chen Zheng. Chen Zheng took it and handed it to Zhen Zhen.
Zhen Zhen smiled sweetly at her future husband: "My cousin is so kind to me!"
Chen Zheng felt a little embarrassed in front of so many people and said in a nonchalant manner: "I don't like eating rabbits either, so I gave them to you."
Zhen Zhen glared and threw the rabbit leg to Chen Yan: "Second cousin, here it is for you!"
Chen Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He took a bite and said, "This rabbit is so delicious, so many people dislike it. Tsk, tsk, I must have committed evil instead of good deeds in my previous life."
Zhen Zhen's eyes widened: "If you do good deeds, you will be eaten by others. It's better not to do good deeds!"
Everyone laughed when they heard this.
Qin Zeng used a dagger to remove a deer leg, sat next to Li Qingyi, cut off the leg meat and handed it to her. Li Qingyi took it very naturally.
Gongsun Yi looked towards them, and Lei Ye suddenly stepped forward to block his sight, and also went to remove the deer's legs.
Chen Yan glanced at him and said with a smile: "Okay, you guys, while I was eating the rabbit, you took away the best deer legs! Do you still have any humanity!"
With that said, he started to grab the deer leg from Lei Ye's hand.
How could Lei Ye let him succeed? The two immediately started fighting, causing everyone to laugh and watch.
After everyone had eaten and drank enough, they went into the woods to hunt again.
After all, after coming to Xishan for a while, I always have to bring some trophies back.
This time Qin Zeng also followed Lei Ye and others into the depths of the forest. Li Qingyi's mood improved and he had a great time playing with Li Miaoran and the others.
When several hunters came out of the forest again, they not only had deer, but also wild boars and wolves. Qin Zeng even carried a snow wolf on his shoulders.
The snow wolf is huge, and at first glance it is the alpha wolf in the pack. It has thick tusks embedded in the purple-black teeth.
Chen Yan said regretfully: "It's a pity that we didn't meet a tiger. Otherwise, if we work together, we can easily hunt a white-fronted tiger!"
Song Yang had done a good job in raising the child today, and everyone asked him to pick out the trophies and bring them back to the Yongping Marquis Mansion.
Song Yang was not polite and picked a big wild boar.
Lei Ye smiled and patted his shoulder, "Yes, this suits you very well."
Song Yang didn't react at first, and looked at the wild boar for a long time before glaring: "What do you mean?"
Lei Ye turned around and ran away, Song Yang chased after him, and everyone started laughing again.
After playing until Shenshi, the group set off to return.
It took a long time for all the guards to load the trophies into the car.
When Li Qingyi arrived home, the sun had already hidden behind the mountains. Qin Zeng sent their siblings to the door of the house, and of course, the Snow Wolf King.
"I already have a little fox, you can take this snow wolf back."
Qin Zeng smiled and said, "Just think of it as a gift from me to your family."
What kind of relationship deserves a holiday gift?
Li Qingyi couldn't help but curl his lips. Qin Zeng was trying to draw him into a relationship with the Li family.
"Then I'll accept it."
Back at Qinghuai Courtyard, Li Qingyi collapsed on the bed almost exhausted. Changlan said with a smile: "The girl must have overplayed her game when she went back to hunt. She will be too excited now and will inevitably be tired. Fortunately, the girl is also normal on weekdays. Exercise your muscles and bones often, otherwise you won’t be able to get off the ground tomorrow morning.”
Heng Wu came over to cleanse Li Qingyi's face, and then asked Ji Lan to come over and pinch Li Qingyi's arms and legs together: "Kneading like this, the girl will not be so sore tomorrow."
Changlan said pitifully from the side: "Sister Hengwu, I am so tired and sore..."
Heng Wu couldn't help but laugh and said angrily: "Well, you Changlan, you don't try to persuade girls when you go out, but you still follow girls around and mess around. I haven't dealt with you yet, so you can come to my door yourself!"
Changlan made a face and said: "Sister Hengwu, you are wrongly blaming me. There is no place for me next to the girl. I can't even come forward!"
Li Qingyi blushed when he heard this and glared at Chang Lan, "Why don't you go down and rest quickly? Are you going to have to keep vigil tonight?"
Chang Lan was so frightened that he ran away quickly.
*****
Wei Mansion. ..
Tinglan Pavilion.
He'an incense curled up from the auspicious animal incense burner. Wei Laner stood in front of the landscape, flowers and birds, not knowing whether he was admiring the flowers and birds, or looking at the ink on the painting.
Bi Shu came in and reported in a low voice: "Girl, Miss Li did go hunting in the Western Mountains with Mr. Song Xiaohou today. Along with them were the Chen family brothers and sisters, and the admiral of Dongchang was also on the trip."
