Chapter 68: Young Rabbit

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Last year’s winter came especially early. Many beasts did not have time to prepare enough food to survive the winter. They ate all the food they could eat at home. Later, they had no choice but to eat snow and bark to survive until spring.

The animals in the forest had already woken up from their hibernation. If the beasts wanted to eat meat, they had to hunt.

However, those herbivores could only eat grass. They really wanted to eat fresh fruits, but the fruit trees had just bloomed. There were no ripe fruits for them to pick.

When Bai Di and Shuang Yun placed the fruits on the table, many beasts immediately surrounded them and asked for the price.

The fruits planted by Lin Huanhuan’s family were especially big and bright. It was obvious that they were a new variety of fruit.

The most common way of trading in the market was to barter.

Most of the beasts used food and hides in exchange, but Lin Huanhuan did not lack these. With Bai Di and Shuang Yun around, the hides and food stored at home had already piled up into a small mountain.

She wanted herbs or crystals.

It was impossible for ordinary beasts to have crystals in their hands. As for medicinal herbs, the beasts did not recognize them at all.

Lin Huanhuan wanted to show them the sheepskin book and tell them what the herbs looked like, but Bai Di stopped her.

“Don’t let anyone see your sheepskin book,” Bai Di warned her quietly.

Lin Huanhuan was puzzled. “Why?”

“Words and books are extremely precious. It’s impossible for ordinary beasts to understand these things. If you rashly take out the book, you’ll cause some unnecessary trouble.”

Lin Huanhuan looked at his serious expression and quickly nodded. “Oh, I understand.”

Since she couldn’t use the atlas, Lin Huanhuan could only describe the appearance and characteristics of those herbs.

Most of the beasts were confused after hearing this. Only a delicate-looking young rabbit beast suddenly shouted, “I know this plant you’re talking about! I don’t know its name, but I have it at home. I’ll get it for you now!”

With that, he ran off.

Not long after, the young rabbit ran back. He placed a large handful of green grass in front of Lin Huanhuan, his red eyes filled with anticipation. “Look, is it this grass?”

Lin Huanhuan took the grass and carefully identified it. She nodded. “This is shellfish grass. It can clear heat and stop coughing. It’s one of the herbs I need.”

She put down the shellfish grass. “What do you want to buy?”

The rabbit boy could tell she was a female. Although he couldn’t see her face clearly because of the hide, he couldn’t help but blush. “I want to get some fruits for the females in my family.”

Shuang Yun looked him up and down. “You’re not an adult yet, are you? Little brat, you found a female mate so early?”

Facing the male wolf beast, the young rabbit immediately stopped being shy and replied generously, “I haven’t found a female mate yet. I want to give the fruits to my sister at home.”

Upon hearing that his family had a sister, the single males around him cast burning gazes at him.

The young rabbit seemed to be used to this. He was still smiling.

Lin Huanhuan said, “I only have crispy fruits and sweet fruits here. How many do you want?”

As soon as she spoke, the young rabbit immediately blushed again and said shyly, “I want 50 fruits. Can I?”

Lin Huanhuan agreed readily. “Yes, I’ll give you 30 sweet fruits and 20 crispy fruits. Is that okay?”

“Yes, yes!”

Shuang Yun quickly picked up 50 fruits. The young rabbit roughly checked them to make sure they were correct. Then, he put all the fruits into the hide bag he had brought.

After the young rabbit left, other beasts immediately surrounded the stall and asked about the price.

Most of the beasts didn’t really want to buy anything. They just wanted to take the opportunity to talk to Huanhuan.

Although it was a pity that they couldn’t see her face and figure, it was good to hear a female’s voice!

His voice was especially soft and sweet!

Bai Di could tell that the male beasts had ulterior motives. He was unhappy and reached out to push Huanhuan into the house. Then, he personally explained the appearance and characteristics of the herbs to the beasts.

After being disturbed by him, the beasts who wanted to seduce the female could only disperse resentfully.

Half a day passed quickly, but only one deal was made—the 50 fruits sold to the young rabbit.

Lin Huanhuan was not disappointed. In any case, she had only come to set up the stall because it was convenient. If she really could not sell them, she could still keep them in the space. If she put the fruits and vegetables there, she could guarantee that they would not rot for a long time.

At this moment, the young rabbit who had bought the fruits came again.

This time, he didn’t come alone. There were more than ten rabbit beasts behind him.

The young rabbit ran to the stall with vegetables and fruits. He looked around and was disappointed when he didn’t see the little female.

That little female had a beautiful voice. He wanted to talk to her more!

Bai Di saw his reaction, and his smile faded a little. “Why are you back here? Is there something wrong with the fruits?”

“No, no.” The young rabbit waved his hand hurriedly. He pointed to the hide pouch on his back. “Do you want more shellfish grass? We brought some more.”

Bai Di smiled. “Can you show me?”

Upon hearing this, the young rabbit and the other rabbit beasts behind him immediately placed all the hide bags on the ground. They opened the hide bags and revealed the shellfish grass inside.

Bai Di examined them briefly. They were all fresh shellfish grass. The mud on the roots had been carefully cleaned, and the leaves were intact. There were no wormholes or damage.

Bai Di was pleased with the thoughtful attitude.

He looked at the young rabbit. “How many fruits are you going to exchange for these shellfish grass?”

The young rabbit immediately discussed it with his companions and finally gave an answer. “200 each of crispy fruits and sweet fruits.”

Bai Di nodded. “Sure.”

He and Shuang Yun picked out 400 fruits and handed them to the rabbit beasts.

When the rabbit beasts saw so many fresh fruits, their mouths watered.

The young rabbit smiled. “My name is Dong Ya, the son of the rabbit tribe leader. We still have a lot of this grass in our tribe. If you want more, we can do another exchange in ten days.”

The fruits were of excellent quality, and their people loved them. Dong Ya planned to buy as many as he could.

Of course, Bai Di wouldn’t refuse a deal that came to him.

“Sure. From now on, we’ll set up a stall here every market day. If you need anything, come find us here.”

After buying the fruits, Dong Ya planned to go home. However, he suddenly noticed the tender vegetables and stopped.

Those vegetables looked very crispy and tender. They should be delicious…
