Lu Fangfang and Xiaohua walked along the river for more than two hours before they finally saw the birch forest in the distance.

It will take at least another hour to get there.

She found a dirt slope and plopped down on it.

"Meow~"

Xiao Hua slowly walked over and suddenly slumped next to Lu Fangfang.

The little guy was panting heavily, clearly tired from walking.

Lu Fangfang rubbed its head and sighed, "It would be nice to have a horse to ride."

She missed Xiaohong and Daheima a little, but they belonged to the government, and it wasn't appropriate for her to keep borrowing them.

After resting for a while, she got up, took Xiaohua's hand, and continued walking forward.

By the time the man and the leopard reached the birch forest, an hour had passed.

Lu Fangfang called out to Xiaohua and curiously entered the birch forest.

It's almost May, but the trees in the birch forest are only just sprouting. She looked around curiously but didn't see any animals.

She walked up to a large birch tree, patted the trunk, and looked up.

These birch trees are quite tall, and some of their branches are dry. They would be good to cut them down and use them as firewood.

The problem is that this place is too far from the family compound, making it difficult to transport things back.

There are many meadows along the way, and cars can't drive through them, so you can only use horses. In the autumn, you can borrow a horse-drawn cart to transport some firewood back.

After watching for a while, Lu Fangfang drew the dagger from her waist, used it to cut through the bark, and made a Y-shaped cut in the tree.

She took off the military water bottle hanging around her neck, unscrewed the cap, and went to the tree to collect the birch sap.

"Tick-tock, tick-tock..."

Lu Fangfang waited patiently for more than ten minutes before finally receiving a small amount.

Holding the water bottle, she tilted her head back and took a small sip.

She smacked her lips and then drank the rest of the birch sap in the pot in one gulp.

Um……

How to describe the taste? It has a slightly sweet taste and a woody flavor. It's quite delicious, especially in this day and age. It's practically wild fruit juice.

"Meow~"

Little Flower clung to the tree, watching curiously.

"Okay, I can't forget you."

Lu Fangfang collected some birch sap in her palm and fed it to Xiaohua.

Holding the dagger, she enlarged the tree mark on the bark, then hung the water bottle on the branch and slowly collected the birch sap.

Calling out "Xiao Hua," Lu Fangfang picked up her air gun and continued walking north.

"Little Flower, be quiet, don't make any noise."

Lu Fangfang hunched over and slowly walked to the lakeside.

Behind her, Xiaohua warily looked around.

"quack……"

In the lake upstream, a flock of wild ducks swam around.

Lu Fangfang was overjoyed. She hid behind a birch tree, raised her air rifle, and aimed at the wild ducks on the distant lake.

"Oh...ah...oh...ah..."

Just as she was about to fire, she vaguely heard a few strange cries.

Lu Fangfang was stunned for a moment. Was that a donkey braying?

She slowly stood up and looked around for the source of the sound.

Not far to her to the northeast, five or six reddish-brown donkeys were drinking water by the lake.

Lu Fangfang's grip on the rifle tightened. "Wild donkey? A Class I protected animal, the Tibetan wild donkey?"

Oh dear, she really regretted that what she had in her hand wasn't the real thing.

After hesitating for a moment, she crawled forward slowly.

Regardless of whether it's level one or level two, it's not illegal to eat it these days, so Lu Fangfang didn't care. If she could catch a wild donkey, she could eat it for at least a year.

Once she got closer, Lu Fangfang realized that the wild donkey was indeed quite large.

Those wild donkeys were taller than her, like military horses. If she were to be bumped into or kicked, it wouldn't feel good.

Looking at the air gun in her hand, she immediately turned the barrel around and prepared to use it as a hammer.

She drew the dagger from her waist, and using the cover, crawled forward.

In her hand was a military dagger with a bloodletting groove; if she could pierce the wild donkey's body, she could kill it.

Behind her, Xiaohua tilted her head, looked at Lu Fangfang, and then at the wild donkey in the distance, as if she understood something.

It didn't follow Lu Fangfang, but turned and walked towards the northeastern grasslands.

"one two three……"

Lu Fangfang counted them; there were five wild donkeys in total.

No, among the big wild donkeys, there was a little wild donkey whose back wasn't even as high as her buttocks. Lu Fangfang's eyes lit up, and she immediately had a target.

Tibetan wild ass

The big wild donkey is difficult to deal with, but this little wild donkey has a great chance.

She swallowed hard, put away her dagger, gripped the gun barrel tightly, and slowly crawled forward.

It would be a waste to kill such a small wild donkey, so she had the idea of ​​capturing it alive.

"Oh...ah..."

When they were still five or six meters away from the herd, the lead Tibetan wild ass suddenly brayed.

Before Lu Fangfang could react, the herd of wild donkeys turned and rumbled towards the grassland.

"Oops."

Lu Fangfang was startled and no longer cared about hiding.

She suddenly darted out and strode after the Tibetan wild ass.

"Oh...ah...oh...ah..."

As she chased after them, the herd of wild donkeys ran even faster, leaving the little donkeys far behind.

Lu Fangfang was so anxious that she was covered in sweat.

As the herd of wild donkeys ran further and further away, she swung her rifle and fired at the little wild donkey that had fallen behind.

These days, Lu Fangfang has been shooting guns and slingshots all the time, and her accuracy has improved, to say the least.

The air gun, weighing over six pounds, spun several times in the air before slamming solidly into the back of the little wild donkey.

"Oh...ah..."
