Little Flower was still some distance from the pika when she leaped up and charged towards it.

rub!

It chose a good location; it's at a high point.

Using the terrain, Little Flower leaped like lightning to the side of the pika. Before the pika could react, a gaping maw came rushing towards it.

"Squeak~"

Little Flower shook her head, feeling that this hunt had been much easier.

It seems I did learn something from the snow leopard.

"Little Flower, you're great!"

In the distance, Lu Fangfang didn't hold back her praise.

This time, Xiao Hua wasn't chasing after the prey as relentlessly as before; she was much more agile.

"Meow~"

Little Flower is very proud of herself. She ate a lot of mutton this morning and isn't hungry now.

Spitting out the pika from its mouth, it strolled leisurely toward Lu Fangfang.

"Squeak~"

On the grass, the pika was soaking wet; it was completely terrified.

It wasn't until it saw Xiaohua leave that it realized what was happening and quickly turned and ran away.

"Meow~"

Walking up to Lu Fangfang, Xiaohua curiously joined her in digging up garlic from the ground.

"You little rascal, you have a really kind heart."

Lu Fangfang smiled and patted its head.

The rabbit's bewildered expression made her chuckle.

"Give it to me."

Picking up the garlic that Xiaohua had dug out, she took a shovel and dug up all the small garlic cloves in that area.

In the distance, Zhuang Mingcheng had also picked most of a bag of wild onion flowers.

Seeing that the little wild donkey was still munching on the tender grass, he turned around, walked over, and lay down next to the little flower.

"Meow~"

Xiao Hua held Zhuang Mingcheng's head and used her tongue to groom his hair.

"Fangfang, that's enough to eat. Stop digging and come rest."

Zhuang Mingcheng waved and then patted the grass beside him.

The two of them stayed in the valley for two or three days, and they didn't have a moment to rest; they were panning for gold the whole time.

The sand and gravel mixed with water were very heavy. Even as a grown man, he felt exhausted and didn't want to do anything. He just wanted to rest quietly for a while.

Lu Fangfang dug up some more, then clapped her hands and walked over.

"Little yellow dog, come here."

Seeing her husband resting his head on a small flower, she turned around and called the little Tibetan fox over.

"Awoo~"

The little Tibetan fox wagged its tail and ran over happily.

"Come closer, a little closer."

Lu Fangfang lifted Zhuang Mingcheng's head, pulled out Xiao Hua, and then stuffed the little Tibetan fox back in.

She rested her head on a small flower pillow and leisurely watched the blue sky and white clouds.

Today, the weather was nice, the sky was clear, and she picked some small flowers, feeling quite good.

Beside him, Zhuang Mingcheng laughed in anger, "Comrade Lu Fangfang, do you know that your actions have hurt two people?"

"Awoo~"

The little Tibetan fox meowed in agreement.

"I just wanted you two to get to know each other better..."

Lu Fangfang sounded a little guilty, realizing that what she was saying was indeed not a good idea.

She lifted Zhuang Mingcheng's head again, pulled out the little Tibetan fox, placed it beside her, and stroked its head.

Yes, that's much better.

"Awoo~"

The little Tibetan fox snuggled up to her, and this time it had no complaints.

"Comrade Lu Fangfang, what about me? What am I supposed to do?"

Zhuang Mingcheng looked resentful.

"Alright, alright, you have me, don't you?"

Lu Fangfang couldn't stand his gaze, so she had no choice but to offer her arm.

"snort."

Zhuang Mingcheng rested his head on his wife's arm and moved closer to her, feeling a little uncomfortable with a small Tibetan fox between them.

He sat up, picked up the little Tibetan fox, and tossed it to the other side.

He picked a small yellow flower and tucked it into his lover's hair. He admired it for a while, then lay down close to his wife and closed his eyes.

"Awooo~"

"Oh dear, Zhuang Mingcheng, how dare you say that to me? Look how angry you've made the little yellow dog. Alright, alright."

Lu Fangfang couldn't stop laughing.

She was petting the little Tibetan fox with one hand and her man with the other, with a little flower under her head—there just wasn't enough room for her to pet it all.

Under a blue sky and white clouds, with a gentle breeze, wild donkeys and chestnut horses grazed on tender grass in the distance.

Lu Fangfang touched the gold in her bag again and felt instantly satisfied. She felt incredibly happy with this kind of life.

...

"Oh...ah..."

She had just dozed off for a while when she heard a sharp braying sound from a donkey, and Lu Fangfang immediately opened her eyes.

I sat up and looked, and saw that the little wild donkey and the chestnut horse, with their bellies bulging, had already eaten their fill.

She raised her wrist to check the time; it was almost four o'clock. She quickly shook Zhuang Mingcheng awake.

The two little creatures, Xiao Hua and Xiao Tibetan Fox, were still asleep, so Lu Fangfang woke them up one by one.

"Get up quickly, you can sleep after you get home."

"Awoo~"

"Meow~"

After packing their things back onto the little wild donkey, the two of them, carrying the wild vegetables they had dug, rode their horses towards the family compound.

The chestnut horse and the little wild donkey, having eaten and drunk their fill, did not cause any more trouble and casually arrived at the gate of the family compound.

Upon arriving here, Zhuang Mingcheng dared not bring his wife with him anymore. He jumped off his horse and carried his wife down with him.

"I'm going back to the regiment to bring the chestnut horse back to the stable. You go home first, I'll be back in a bit."

"OK."

Lu Fangfang nodded.

She led the little wild donkey, along with Little Flower and the little Tibetan fox, into the family compound.

She had only been away for three days, but it felt like she had been gone for a long time. When she returned to the family compound, she immediately relaxed.
