Chapter 244 The Royal Hunt is Over, and the Lamb Goes Back

Yuyu laughed heartily, stuffing her mouth with roast suckling pig, and said to Xiaoyu incoherently, "Hahaha, Mom, look how delicious this tastes! This roast suckling pig paired with this drink is simply amazing, right?"

Xiaoyu looked at Yuyu's satisfied and slightly funny expression, and nodded repeatedly with a smile in response, "Yes, yes, it is indeed a rare delicious taste. I didn't expect that today in this camp, everyone gathered together to eat and drink, it would be so lively and interesting. These delicious food and wine really make us happy."

The ministers and guards around them all laughed after hearing the conversation between the mother and daughter. They continued to enjoy the delicious food and share interesting stories about the hunting process with each other.

Cheng Yaojin burped loudly, patted his stomach and said, "Burp~ This roast suckling pig is so delicious, but I'm full so quickly. I wanted to have another helping, but I really can't fit any more."

The Qin lord beside him said jokingly, "You, please don't be too greedy. It's not pleasant to eat too much. Why don't you go for a walk to help digest the food?"

Cheng Yaojin waved his hand and responded, "No, no, no, I'm too lazy to move now. Let's talk about it after we rest for a while."

At this time, Xiaoyu smiled and suggested: "Then you should go for a walk, walk around the camp, digest the food, and maybe you can eat something later. Otherwise, it will be uncomfortable to sit all the time."

Cheng Yaojin listened, thought about it and felt that it made sense, so he stood up, stretched and said, "Okay, then I'll go for a walk. I've eaten too much, so it's good to move around. You guys can eat slowly."

After saying that, he slowly walked towards another part of the camp, still savoring the deliciousness of the roast suckling pig as he walked.

Listening to everyone's laughter and chatter, Yuyu's eyes sparkled. She picked up the drink beside her, tilted her head back, and gulped it down in one gulp. After wiping her mouth, she said contentedly, "This drink is so refreshing. I was feeling sick of eating so much roast suckling pig, but after taking a sip, the sickness is gone. I feel like I can eat a few more pieces of meat."

Everyone around was amused by her cute and greedy appearance. Cheng Chumo joked, "Yuyu, you have such a good appetite. Aren't you afraid that you will be full again soon? Just now, Master Cheng was so full that he wanted to go for a walk to digest his food."

Yuyu pouted unconvincedly: "Humph, I won't do that. I'm still hungry and can still fit in a lot of delicious food. Besides, this drink is so refreshing, I'm sure I can still eat more."

Yuyu waved her hands and said quickly, "No, no, no, I'm really full now. I can't eat any more. I'll go check on the lamb. I don't know how it's doing now."

As he spoke, Yu Yu stood up, brushed off the debris on his body, and walked towards where the lamb was placed.

As she walked, she muttered, "That lamb looks so well-behaved. I wonder if anyone is taking good care of it and making sure nothing goes wrong."

Cheng Chumo looked at Yuyu's back and said jokingly with a smile: "Yuyu, you've just finished eating and you're thinking about the lamb. You really have a warm heart."

Everyone chuckled again, and then continued to sit together, enjoying the food or chatting.

Yu Yu walked briskly towards the place where the big sheep, the little sheep and the remaining rabbits were placed.

When she got there, she squatted down and carefully examined the lamb. She reached out and gently touched the lamb's head, muttering, "Little lambs, you've been so good here, haven't you been wronged? Everyone was busy eating the roast suckling pig just now and didn't have time to take a good look at you."

The lamb seemed to understand what she said. It bleated twice and rubbed Yu Yu's palm. It looked so well-behaved.

Yu Yu's face was full of smiles. She stood up and looked at the big sheep. The big sheep were also staying quietly by the side. Yu Yu checked the ropes that tied them and was relieved after confirming that they were very firm.

Then she turned her gaze to the remaining rabbits. The little rabbits were huddled together, furry and looking very cute.

Yuyu said softly, "You little guys, all of you are doing well. When we get back, I will raise you to be furry and fluffy."

As he was watching, Cheng Chumo came over and asked with a smile: "Yuyu, are they all right?"

Yuyu turned around, nodded and said, "Yeah, everything is fine. I just came to check on it because I was worried."

The two stood there, looking at these cute little animals for a while, then turned around and walked back.

Yuyu trotted back to where everyone was sitting, came to Xiaoyu, tugged at her sleeve, and asked, "Mom, are you home yet? I just went to see the big sheep, the little sheep, and the rabbit. They're all fine."

Xiaoyu looked up at the sky that was already tinged with twilight, stood up, patted the non-existent dust on her body, and said, "Well, let's get ready to go back. It's getting late, and we've been in this camp for quite a while. It's time to go back and get some rest."

When the ministers and guards around heard this, they all echoed it.

"Indeed, it's getting darker and darker. If we don't go back now, I'm afraid the road will be difficult to walk on."

"Today's hunting and barbecue feast were truly a feast. It's time to go back and savor the experience."

Li Shimin nodded slightly and said, "Then let's set off. Today has been truly wonderful. My dear ministers, please go back and settle down early. Don't be too tired."

So, everyone started to pack up their things, some carrying the remaining prey, and some holding unfinished drinks.

Yuyu carefully picked up a lamb and coaxed it softly, "Little lamb, we're going home now. You have to be good."

The lamb bleated twice, as if responding to her. Yu Yu had a smile on her face and followed the crowd briskly.

Xiaoyu was carrying the cage containing the remaining rabbits. As she walked, she turned back and reminded, "Everyone, walk carefully. Don't hurt these little animals."

She held a bundle of rabbits steadily in her hands, and looked at the rabbits from time to time, her eyes full of tenderness.

Li Hao let out a cry and hefted the remaining wild boar onto his shoulder. He walked forward with steady strides, jokingly saying, "This wild boar is really heavy, but we've caught so much today, it's worth the effort. When we get back, we can grill it and let everyone taste the unique flavor of this wild boar meat."

The Yu Yu family chatted and laughed, and walked back along the winding path with the rich harvest of today's hunting, with the afterglow of the setting sun shining on them.

The ministers, princes, princesses, concubines, and queens also walked out of the camp one after another, whispering about the interesting things that happened today. As the sky gradually darkened, the laughter and chatter slowly faded away on the way back.
