Chapter 166 The Tibetan Fox Delivers a Gift

Lu Fangfang clutched Zhuang Mingcheng's clothes, almost in tears.

She's easily moved to tears; she really can't bear to see this.

Seeing the large Tibetan fox about to run away, she put her hands to her mouth and hurriedly shouted, "Hey, I'll bring the child back to you after I'm healed!"

In the distance, the giant Tibetan fox didn't even stop before quickly disappearing from sight.

"well."

Lu Fangfang sighed and bent down to pick up the little Tibetan fox.

The little guy was still whimpering, but unfortunately the big Tibetan fox couldn't hear him. Judging from his appearance, the big Tibetan fox must have given up on the injured child. What a pitiful little guy.

"Let's go."

...

The two rode their chestnut horses and continued towards the family compound.

As she passed Tuboling, she saw a marmot making pitiful "ah ah" sounds on the earthen slope.

Lu Fangfang was stunned.

This marmot looks familiar; it must be the one whose companion was snatched away by the Tibetan fox earlier.

She glanced down at the little Tibetan fox in her arms and didn't know what to say.

Well, thankfully she transmigrated into a human body.

Otherwise, they'll end up like groundhogs and Tibetan foxes, possibly dying at the hands of their natural enemies one day.

The two rode their horses for a short while when they suddenly heard a familiar voice calling from behind them.

"Ah, ha, ah, ah~"

Lu Fangfang turned around and quickly told Zhuang Mingcheng to rein in the horse.

"Whoa~"

The large Tibetan fox, with a rabbit in its mouth, quickly ran to the chestnut horse, lowered its head, and released its grip.

It crouched on the grass, panting heavily.

It looked up at Lu Fangfang, cried out a few times, then turned and slowly walked away.

Lu Fangfang: "..."

She glanced back at Zhuang Mingcheng, and the two looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Fangfang, am I seeing things? That Tibetan fox brought us a rabbit? Is it to thank us?"

"Probably, it's probably to let us take good care of its babies."

Lu Fangfang didn't expect that she had guessed wrong.

It seems the Tibetan fox hasn't abandoned her child; for some reason, her mood improved.

"Mingcheng, pick it up. Don't waste their kindness. Besides, you didn't catch any rabbits either."

Zhuang Mingcheng paused.

He jumped off his horse, picked up the rabbit from the ground, and lifted it to test its weight.

This gray rabbit is quite big; he felt it weighed at least three pounds. He wished he had caught it.

He tied the rabbit to the horse and rode it quickly towards the regiment.

This time, there were no further incidents on the road, and the two returned safely.

Holding the two little ones, Lu Fangfang went to the medical room and asked the doctor to take a look at the Tibetan fox cubs.

"My hind leg bone was bitten and broken. I might be lame in the future. Let's see how it heals first."

"Poor child."

Lu Fangfang hadn't expected it to be this serious, so she could only stroke the little Tibetan fox's head and comfort it.

The doctor used a board to stabilize the baby Tibetan fox's hind legs, and then wrapped them with bandages.

The doctor also stitched up the wound on the little Tibetan fox's neck.

Having suffered such a great shock and pain, the little Tibetan fox had fainted.

Lu Fangfang carried it back to the family compound.

Once inside the house, she carefully placed the little Tibetan fox on the wooden bed in the outer room.

The little flower looked on curiously and jumped up.

"Little Flower, this little Tibetan fox will be with you from now on. Don't bully it."

"Meow~"

Lu Fangfang scratched Xiaohua's head, then turned and walked out of the house.

In the courtyard, Zhuang Mingcheng was tying up the little wild donkey.

The little guy has been staying with Old Xu for a long time and is still a bit unfamiliar with the yard.

"Oh...ah..."

Zhuang Mingcheng frowned, feeling increasingly annoyed.

The donkey's braying was truly awful, so he slapped its rump hard.

"Smack."

"If you keep yelling, I'll slap you."

The little wild donkey lowered its head and immediately stopped braying.

Seeing this, Lu Fangfang was overjoyed. She would use this as a threat if her stubborn little donkey ever disobeyed again.

Shaking her head, she took out the snow lotus from her cloth bag, carefully washed off the dirt with water, and then hung it in a shady place to dry.

This is a good thing. After it's dried in the shade, she'll boil some water and taste it with Mingcheng to see if it's effective.

There was also a large bundle of sweet potato vines on the cloth bag. She took them out and put them in the house, planning to share them with Sister Shufen later and plant them in the afternoon.

There was still more than half a bag of yellow mushrooms in the bag, so she poured some into the basin.

She poured the rest onto a tarpaulin, intending to dry it and save it for later consumption.

After finishing her work, Lu Fangfang smashed some beef bones, mixed some chicken feed, and fed the chickens, ducks, and quails at home.

The quails in the bamboo cage were very helpful; she used a gourd ladle to pick out six freshly laid quail eggs.

As for the chicks and ducks, they are still small and need to be raised for several more months before they can lay eggs.

She went back inside and put down the gourd ladle. She saw the rabbit that the Tibetan fox had brought hanging on the shed. She took out the dagger from her waist and decided to deal with it.

"No, don't bother, take a rest. Just give me the rabbit."

Zhuang Mingcheng hurriedly stopped Lu Fangfang.

As soon as he entered the house, he saw his wife busy at work, and she had been busy until now without a moment's rest. He felt tired just watching her.

"Mingcheng, if you're free later, come with me to the field and we'll plant these sweet potato seedlings together."

Lu Fangfang went back into the house and took out sweet potato vines, then started cutting them with scissors.

Aunt Guo gave her sweet potato vines that were quite long; cutting them shorter would allow her to plant more.

"become."

In the courtyard, Zhuang Mingcheng was skinning a rabbit, looking somewhat helpless.

His partner is working too hard; he needs to find a chance to let her take a break.
