Chapter 9 Farewell
Alan lay motionless on the bed, when there was a "squeak" sound from the cage of the lop-eared rabbit, and he jumped up when he heard the sound, and looked over there happily, only to find that the small round table was empty except for Qiuqiu's cage.
Feeling even more upset, he walked over and opened the cage and took the lop-eared rabbit out. The cub went home.
When the lop-eared rabbit heard the familiar name, its little ears twitched, and its body trembled reflexively, but it didn't see the "huge" figure that challenged its nervous nerves all the time, and it picked up Alan's chest with some confusion, and its little head looked around.
- What about the little bastard? Didn't the owner say it was home too? What about it?
It's back to its original home, not to our home. Alan kissed the little head of the lop-eared rabbit, I know, you will miss it, and maybe you will never see each other again.
Although the lop-eared rabbit was very happy to be kissed by its owner, it was sensitive to find that Allen was in a very low mood, so it raised its two small front paws, leaned against each other, and began to shake rapidly, as if it was giving Allen a "New Year's greeting".
In the past, every time it used this trick, Alan would immediately smile and praise it, and today is no exception, but there is a trace of bitterness in that smile.
Only the silent Alan and the lop-eared rabbit were left in the room, which seemed particularly quiet, in stark contrast to the excitement of the previous days
After lunch, Alan asked Daisy for instructions and finally got the "right to go out" for half a day. He packed the little snacks that the tiger cub and the lop-eared rabbit were going to eat in his backpack.
The little tiger was like a little tail, spinning around at his feet without stopping, and Alan was afraid of stepping on him, so he could only hold it in his arms with one hand and do things with the other.
When the preparations were ready, Alan walked to the round table in the room, opened the lop-eared rabbit's cage, Qiuqiu, and we went out to play.
The little tiger saw the "ball" nested in the cage, jumped down happily, pounced on the table, and the cage immediately sounded a terrible "squeak" sound, as long as the little tiger "harassed" it these days, it called like this, until it attracted Allen over.
It is precisely because the little tiger "squeaks" as soon as it gets close to the lop-eared rabbit, and Alan feels that the homonym of "squeak" and the name "cub" is very cute, so the little tiger has its own new nickname.
Hearing the lop-eared rabbit's cry for help, Alan quickly grabbed the little tiger back, patted its little buttocks and said, "Be nice!" You can't go out if you're not good!
The little tiger immediately tilted his head on Allen's arm, and the little one was very well-behaved!
The lop-eared rabbit completely ignores the two people (tigers) who are in high spirits, and it wants a rabbit to be quiet!
- Who wants to hang out with that little bastard! I don't know who it plays!!
Alan tried a few times to get the lop-eared rabbit out of its cage, and even used a small snack, but it still nested motionless.
If you force it out, it will immediately fall to the ground on its side, its two small front paws stretched out weakly, and its hind legs twitched twice and then stopped, indicating that "this rabbit has si, something to burn crispy fruit"
Allan.
Because the lop-eared rabbit has a tough attitude and resolutely refuses to obey, Alan can only go out alone with the little tiger.
When he went out to hide the little tiger in his backpack, it whined twice and looked at the small round table, Alan touched its little head and said, Qiuqiu doesn't want to go out today, let's bring it a gift back, okay?
Then one man and one tiger headed for a small town not far from the manor.
Allen, as usual, sent the latest batch of herbs to Mr. Gurney's shop.
The fourth-level Nash snake vine is still not ripe, but this batch has two third-level medicinal plants, mountain eggplant and thousand-petal camellia, and I believe that they can get a good price.
He bought some toys for the two little ones in the shop in town, and a cat scratching board for the little tiger, who had recently started to plague the textiles and furniture in the room.
Although the cleaning machine qì person will not say anything, it will definitely be discovered by the attentive Daisy when it takes the broken mattress to change.
After that, Alan still took the little tiger in the direction of Moondew Lake - the little guy is the "king of the forest" after all, so he must go and inspect his territory.
Entering Mount Abuna, the little tiger became even more excited, and it was running and jumping in the woods, so unhappy. Alan nervously followed, fearing that one would run away if he wasn't careful.
Fortunately, every time the little tiger ran away, he had to stop to find Allen, and only after making sure that Allen was following behind him did he start playing again.
This garden is so big, bigger than Elijah's garden, bigger than the garden at home!
Alan amusedly chased after the little tiger, watching it toss the little flowers and grass and the little squirrel that unfortunately passed by, and suddenly felt very guilty in his heart. His room was very big for Song Xiaoyang in the past, and maybe not small for the lop-eared rabbit, but what about the little tiger?
Just as he was thinking, the little tiger suddenly accelerated and ran forward quickly, and he immediately found it, and quickly chased after it, calling it while chasing, cub! Don't run!
Walking through the grove, Alan chased the tiger cub to a meadow, and his vision suddenly widened, and a silver-haired beauty in a robe stood in front of him, and beside him was the missing imperial leopard!
The little tiger is like a cannonball, rushing to the arms of the emperor leopard, the emperor leopard gently sniffs the little tiger, and the cub also licks the face of the emperor leopard affectionately, Alan looks at this warm picture, inexplicably a little sad.
Good afternoon! We meet again. Elijah greeted Eren with a smile.
Already knowing the identity of the person in front of him, Alan responded with some restraint but politeness, Good afternoon, my lord.
Hearing Allen's title, Elijah did not object, he stepped forward and had a cordial attitude like an old friend, I heard that Adrington applied for a recommended student place at the Imperial Royal Academy, is that you?
Rolf's children are talented and should be able to go directly to school, so it must be for his brother's only son, Allen, who can make Rolf go to the school board in person to speak.
Alan didn't notice that the imperial leopard on the side heard the name of the academy and glanced over here, and he replied embarrassedly to Elijah, let the family bother, it's me. I'm going to study at the Department of Historical Studies.
The Department of Historical Studies has always been a "storage house" for the children of those nobles who have poor qualifications but noble status.
And the so-called recommended students, except for those civilian students who are really sent by the branch school because they are particularly good, are just synonymous with "related households" in the first star area.
Although with Allen's qualifications, even if he goes to any school in the Third Star Region or the Empire, it is very difficult to get into a good major, even Elijah has to praise Rolf for choosing this very suitable.
But he would rather let his nephew stay in the first sector in such an capacity than send him to the third sector to be with civilians, it seems that he is still haunted by what happened back then
It's just that Elijah is even more surprised that Allen's tone is calm with a trace of sincere gratitude, and there is no trace of resentment, he can be so open-minded at a young age, which makes him like the boy in front of him even more, the Department of Historical Studies is good, your head of the department is Mr. Herman, he is a teacher of noble character and knowledge, I believe he will like you.
After a pleasant chat, Elijah revealed the true purpose of their trip, and that this time we had actually come out to find the little one.
Although he already had a hunch, when the reality came, Alan still found it difficult to accept it for a while
It seems that the child has a new name, Elijah glanced at the little tiger who was playing with the emperor leopard next to him, are you taking care of him during this time? On behalf of the parents of this child, let me express my sincere gratitude to you.
Parents?! Alan was surprised, he had been guessing that the emperor leopard had stolen someone else's little tiger, but he didn't expect that there really was such a pair of sad tiger parents and tiger parents!
During this time, the child is gone, and its parents are very anxious, fortunately there are you, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable, Elijah explained, this time we have to send it back to the parents.
Then this imperial leopard is
Elijah paused and said sternly that it was the little tiger's nanny
The Imperial Leopard listening to the conversation here.
Alan could tell that the cub and the emperor leopard were extremely close.
Because in the past, as long as he was by his side, the little tiger's attention would never leave him, even if he was playing with a ball, he would have to beckon Alan to play with him.
But just now, the little tiger was completely intimate with the emperor leopard, occasionally glanced at Allen, made sure that he was next to him, and turned around to continue to play with the emperor leopard.
Even if he was reluctant, Alan couldn't bear to let the little tiger be separated from his parents. He could only silently watch Elijah and the Imperial Leopard leave with the little tiger, and his heart was pale.
The little tiger was very happy to be reunited with his relatives, but when he left, he found that Alan was standing in place and did not follow, and he began to call in his direction anxiously, woohoo! Whew!
When Alan heard its voice, his body couldn't help but take two steps forward, and then stopped stiffly,
――Can't follow along! The little tiger is going home, back to its real home
didn't get the slightest response, and Alan didn't catch up immediately as usual, the little tiger was even more anxious, and his voice gradually became sad, woo woo! Whew
Elijah put his hand on its little head and said gently, "Good boy, you are tired, go to sleep, and when you wake up, you will be home."
Before he could finish speaking, the little tiger's little head slowly drooped, his eyes closed, and he fell asleep in a short time
Your Highness, the fleet has officially returned, and we will reach the Serentu Palace in thirty minutes. Deputy Captain of the Royal Guard, Hughes, reports to Kyle.
Well, got it. Kyle was sitting on the couch with a nursery next to him, and the little one in it was still sleeping, so there was no movement.
Originally, he was reading a book with a book, but for some reason, the picture just now always came to his mind - the young man with a smile showed such a sad expression.
He could feel the boy's deep affection for Little Tiger, which is why his reaction at that time was so moving.
Kyle glanced at the nursery, he always had a strange feeling that maybe they would meet again soon.
