Lu Tong dropped the last Medicine Hammer, leaving it inside the jar, and Yin Zheng knew she had finished.
Lu Tong held the jar as she stood up, but she didn't immediately leave; instead, she took a turn around the courtyard, her gaze finally settling on a half-human-height bamboo basket in the corner.
She walked over, opened the basket, and lifted out a white rabbit with dark circles around its eyes.
The rabbit had been bought by Du Changqing a few days earlier; he said that he saw a girl selling rabbits at the Guanxiang Meat Shop. The girl was pretty and appeared to have a tragic backstory, which kindled Du Changqing's compassion, so he bought the whole basket of rabbits and brought them back.
After the purchase, they didn't know what to do with the rabbits; neither Yin Zheng nor Xiang Cao knew how to cook rabbit meat, so they decided to keep them in the courtyard, with Xia Rongrong and Xiang Cao feeding them daily.
