(a)

For two days in a row, it was good weather.

The ghost still sits in the small courtyard of the bamboo forest, drinking tea, looking at bamboo slips, and enjoying the tranquility of the afternoon.

The warm sunlight shining on the body makes people a little lazy. Bai Ye lay on another bamboo chair, posed in a large figure, his eyelids half-open and half-closed, drowsy.

Nether glanced at him, and Phantom shouted, "Boye~"

Bai Ye was so shocked that he almost fell from a bamboo chair and flipped on his back. He steadied himself and said unhappily, "Why are you calling me?"

Netherworld brushed the bamboo slips, took a leisurely sip of tea, and asked, "Why don't you go back?"

Bai Ye got up and walked to the table, mixed himself with a cup of tea, and said seriously: "You have a bad plan against my mother, I have to watch you here." Besides, my birthday is approaching, and I want to spend this first birthday coming-of-age ceremony with my mother. ”

After finishing speaking, he took a shallow sip of tea, and immediately stuck out his tongue sideways. Oops, this tea is so bitter!

"This bamboo heart tea is not suitable for you, you should eat this. Nether took out a packet of honey from his wide sleeve and placed it on the table.

Bai Ye stuffed one in his mouth, and the sweet taste instantly spread in his mouth. While enjoying the sweetness, he blinked his eyes curiously and muttered: "You look cold on weekdays, but I really don't see that you actually like such sweet things!"

As he spoke, he stuffed another one into his mouth and asked curiously, "You made this honey?"

Netherworld didn't pay any attention to him, but moved his body slightly, and continued to look at the bamboo slips.

With a roll of his eyes, Bai Ye suddenly grinned evilly. Then, he deliberately smashed his mouth a few times, closed his eyes and tasted: "Hmm~ The honey you made is sweet, but the taste... It's really not as good as my dad did. ”

Netherworld hooked the corners of his lips slyly, turned to gently put down the bamboo slip, and said lightly: "This is made by Xiaobai." ”

"Bai Ye, is the honey I made really not delicious?" At some point, Bai Hua was already standing behind the two of them.

Hearing this, Bai Ye's whole body stiffened, and he suddenly opened his eyes. Oops, it's over, it's embarrassing...

At this time, Netherworld reached out and took one, put it in his mouth, looked at Bai Hua with a smile, and said, "Xiaobai makes it delicious." ”

Hearing such flattery from the shadow again, Bai Ye even narrowed his mouth, raised his hand to cover his forehead, and shouted in his heart: Dad~ Why do I suddenly feel like I have been framed by someone's design?

Early the next morning

As the first rays of morning light fell from the clouds, curling smoke rose from the medicine house.

Early in the morning, Bai Hua was busy in and out of the medicine house, in addition to boiling the decoction, he also thought about making some lotus soup for the two of them.

Shortly after the hour, Bai Ye yawned and came out of the room with sleepy eyes. I was just about to stretch my waist, but suddenly I heard a deep voice behind me.

"You can really sleep. ”

The arm, which was frozen in half, slowly retracted. Bai Yemu turned around suddenly, only to see the Netherworld leaning against the door, looking at him coldly.

A small face suddenly darkened, and Bai Ye crossed his waist with a displeased face and said, "You are not my father, I want you to take care of it." ”

"That's right. Netherworld nodded in agreement, and then turned his gaze to the medicine house not far away.

Seeing that he had been silent for a long time, Bai Ye rubbed his unkempt hair and rolled his eyes past him. But just as they passed by, they heard Nether's inquiry.

"Can you roast a rabbit?"

"Huh?" Bai Ye paused and looked at him with a surprised expression, "What did you say roasted?"

Nether repeated word for word: "Rabbit." ”

"You want to eat?" said Boye, who looked particularly surprised.

"Will you roast?" asked Nether again.

After a slight hesitation in his eyes, Bai Ye put his hands around his chest, raised his head arrogantly, and said, "No!"

"That's it. Netherworld shook his head slightly disappointed, turned around and whispered, "I wanted to give it to Xiaobai..."

"Wait!" As soon as he heard the word 'Xiaobai', Bai Ye immediately changed his attitude and asked, "You mean... My mother likes to eat roast rabbits?"

In the deep eyes, a strange light passed in an instant. Netherworld slowly turned around, his expression was flat, and said, "Hmm." ”

Bai Ye raised his hand and touched his nose, and said confidently: "My best thing is roast rabbit!"

"You... Are you sure?" Nether struck a look of distrust.

Faced with doubts, Bai Ye hurriedly rolled up his sleeves and slapped his chest with a clatter, "Let's go, catch the rabbit." ”

A pile of firewood was lit in the pavilion in the middle of the lake, and the scorching flame roasted the rabbit meat on the shelf.

"Well, I'm not skilled, right?" said Boye, crouching by the firewood, turning the wooden frame neatly.

The Netherworld took a leisurely sip of tea, nodded and praised, "It's really powerful." ”

"That's what my dad taught me, he's so much better than me. When it comes to Mengli, Bai Ye is extremely proud.

Netherworld changed to a posture of supporting his jaw with his hands, casually turned the teacup in his hand, and asked, "Bai Ye, do you really want to match your father and Xiaobai?"

Bai Ye never expected that he had already seen the little Jiujiu in his heart.

"You said this winter, how can this stupid rabbit come out to forage for food?" Obviously, he deliberately avoided the topic.

Nether squinted glance at the roast rabbit on the shelf, and then echoed, "Well, it's very strange..."

In a short time, the aroma of rabbit meat wafted through the air.

"Hmm~ It's so fragrant. Bai Hua held a wooden plate and stood outside the Huxin Pavilion, "What are you baking?"

"Mother, are you here?" said Boye with a grin, waving at her.

"Xiaobai~" Netherworld got up and took the wooden plate, and said, "Bai Ye has been busy for a long time in order to surprise you. ”

Hey~ It's really strange, how can this Netherworld God give me all the credit?Bai Ye's face showed a moment of surprise, but he quickly recovered.

Bai Ye felt that her mother had been working hard lately, so she prepared her mother's favorite food. Bai Ye smiled innocently.

"Oh?" Bai Hua glanced at the Netherworld meaningfully, then turned to face Bai Ye, and asked with a smile, "Then I have to see what good things Bai Ye has prepared?"

Bai Ye held up the roast rabbit hidden behind him in front of him, and raised his voice: "Your favorite roast rabbit !!"

"Rabbit... Rabbit?!" Bai Hua's face darkened instantly, and he asked in a deep voice, "Bai Ye, where did you get this rabbit?!"

Why did my mother suddenly change her face, could it be... Doesn't she like to eat roast bunnies?

Bai Hua's reaction seemed to be completely unexpected by Bai Ye. After secretly glancing at the Netherworld, he replied in a very innocent whisper: "The Nether God said that you like to eat roast rabbits, so I..."

"Like it or not, that's not the point, the point is, where did you get this rabbit?" Bai Hua continued to ask.

Seeing that her expression became more and more solemn, Bai Ye raised his hand and pointed to the bamboo forest not far away, and hurriedly explained: "I caught it in that bamboo forest with the Netherworld God. ”

"Really?" Bai Hua looked sideways at the Netherworld again.

Nether nodded and testified, "It was indeed found in the bamboo forest. ”

As he spoke, he seemed to think of something all of a sudden, "Xiaobai, is this rabbit..."

"That's right, this rabbit is a medicine rabbit raised by Zehuang!" Bai Hua frowned and snatched Bai.

"Then how did it end up in the bamboo forest?" asked Nether.

Bai Hua replied: "Last night, the wind was strong, and the bamboo door of the rabbit pen was blown open. I have searched for a long time today, but I have not found it. It's good to let you give..."

Hearing this, Bai Ye half-lowered his head and muttered in a low voice: "No wonder, I just said how can rabbits come out to forage in the winter." ”

Nether pursed her lips and shook her head, sighing, "That's really a disaster." ”

"Oh, how am I going to explain this to Ze Huang. Bai Hua covered his forehead helplessly.

Bai Ye raised his head suddenly, and said nonchalantly: "Isn't it just a rabbit? I'll just catch another one and pay him back, what's the big deal..."

"Shut up!" Bai Hua was furious, "You go back now and think about what you did wrong!"

"Mother~" Bai Ye presented a pitiful look.

"Don't go yet!" Bai Hua turned his head away and did not make concessions.

Seeing Bai Ye slumping his shoulders and shrugging his back, he walked into the bamboo house and closed the door. Bai Hua let out a long breath, looked sideways at the Netherworld, and said, "Did I act too fierce just now?"

Nether praised, "Your acting skills just now are excellent. ”

Bai Hua really couldn't bear it, "But Bai Ye, will he be very sad?"

Nether asked rhetorically, "Didn't you say you wanted to have a surprise on his birthday?"

Bai Hua wasn't quite sure, "This... Can you surprise him, and what if he finds out and gets angry?"

Nether gently patted her shoulder and comforted, "Once the wolf clan is over the age of one, it will be considered an adult. Bai Ye will be very touched when he sees the coming-of-age ceremony you have prepared for him. ”

"Your plan... It's a bit of a 'slap in the face, and a candy to eat'. After thinking about it, Bai Hua began to regret it a little, "We still shouldn't be so bad." ”

"The drama has been played, and it's useless for you to regret it now. Netherworld handed the roast rabbit to Bai Hua, and walked straight out of the Lake Center Pavilion.

Looking at the fat rabbit in his hand, Bai Hua was a little puzzled, "I'm curious, how did you find this rabbit?"

As he spoke, the corner of his eye swept to a gray rabbit fur in the corner. Bai Hua was shocked in his heart, and asked dumbfoundedly, "You... Nether Celestials, you... Aren't you... Really used Zehuang's medicine rabbit, right?!"

Hearing this, Netherworld didn't respond, but his steps were noticeably quicker.

"Nether Gods~"

Immediately afterwards, only Bai Hua's roar was heard, which resounded throughout the entire bamboo forest.
