Chapter 375 The Cheeky Look

After breakfast, Zhuang Mingcheng went to the regiment.

Lu Fangfang tidied up the house, then took her drawing board, called the little one in the house, and went to the farm.

"My goodness, what's wrong with this donkey's mouth?"

In the courtyard, Wang Shufen was startled when she saw the little wild donkey.

She walked up quickly, looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but want to laugh again.

"Girl, what did it eat this time?"

"Chili peppers, I don't know what this gluttonous donkey was thinking. He got addicted to eating chili peppers last night, and who knew that his mouth would be swollen this morning."

Lu Fangfang said helplessly.

Beside her, Wang Shufen covered her mouth, laughing uncontrollably.

Hearing the two men's laughter, the little wild donkey drooped its muzzle and turned its back to them.

After a while, Zhao Lanying also arrived.

Seeing the little wild donkey's appearance, she couldn't help but laugh.

The little wild donkey, with its ears drooping, walked to the west side of the yard and buried its head in the corn stalks.

Lu Fangfang looked at it and shook her head helplessly.

After talking for a while, the group moved the grass seeds from the house to the meadow outside to dry.

After finishing her work, Lu Fangfang inspected the breeding shed again.

The quail chicks that hatched a little over a week ago are all healthy now, and the shed is filled with their chirping. They've also grown quite a bit bigger.

The quails in the cage are doing well too; some are laying eggs.

After watching for a while, she went to the meadow outside to guard the grass seeds and continue drawing her comic book.

She pushed it in a little, then plopped down on the tarpaulin and picked up her easel.

Instead of drawing, she looked up at the distant grassland where soldiers were training.

Little Flower and Little Tibetan Fox were also there, running alongside the soldiers and having a great time.

"Oh...ah..."

"what?"

Lu Fangfang turned her head and saw the little wild donkey with its face drooping, nudging its own arm.

Suppressing a smile, she reached out and plucked a handful of wild grass, then brought it to the donkey's mouth.

The little wild donkey sniffed the air and reluctantly opened its mouth.

It chewed while crying out in pain.

"You big glutton, don't eat everything in the future."

Lu Fangfang reached out to comfort it, then lowered her head to think about what she wanted to draw.

The little wild donkey looked around and found it quite boring.

Once on the meadow, it lowered its head and took a bite, then winced in pain.

It glanced at the withered, yellow grass and walked back dejectedly.

The donkey's mouth was burning with pain, and it felt that it could no longer eat whatever it wanted as it used to.

"Oh...ah..."

It looked up and let out a cry of utter despair before collapsing beside Lu Fangfang.

"Disgusting behavior."

Lu Fangfang reached out and ruffled the donkey's head, then picked up a pen and quickly began to draw.

She was quite pleased to see the little wild donkey being so well-behaved.

With no one bothering her, she drew her little picture books very quickly.

When she got really tired, she would stand up and gaze into the distance for a while.

The little wild donkey, on the other hand, seemed listless the whole time. Even when she was eating lunch, it wouldn't come closer. It barely ate any grass all day.

Seeing it like this, Lu Fangfang felt a little worried.

In the afternoon, when she went back, she specially picked two large cabbages.

When she got home, she took a knife and chopped the vegetable leaves into small pieces, added some crushed corn kernels, and mixed them in a bowl.

Carrying the food to the little wild donkey, she quickly said, "Eat up, it's very juicy, it won't hurt your lips."

The little wild donkey looked down, then turned its head away, showing no interest in eating.

At this moment, Zhuang Mingcheng also returned. He looked at it with some curiosity and asked, "Fangfang, what's wrong with it?"

"This stubborn donkey is going on a hunger strike."

Lu Fangfang felt somewhat helpless.

She reached into her pocket, took out a small handful of sunflower seeds, and sprinkled them onto the greens in the basin.

She turned the donkey's head and made sure the little wild donkey saw it.

The little wild donkey looked hesitant.

After a while, it couldn't resist the temptation and took a bite.

Shaking its head, it seemed a little confused. Its lips didn't hurt as much as before, and it immediately became happy again, quickly eating heartily.

"You stupid donkey."

Lu Fangfang patted its head, then turned around and soaked a basin of dandelion water.

This stuff has heat-clearing and detoxifying properties, so it should be effective.

After the little wild donkey finished eating the vegetables, it was given water to drink.

By the next day, most of its donkey lips had disappeared and were no longer visible.

Once they reached the pasture, the little wild donkey quickly lowered its head and took a bite of grass to test it.

The burning pain on its lips was gone, and it could nibble on grass without any problems; it suddenly came back to life.

"Oh...ah..."

"Oh...ah..."

The little wild donkey brayed excitedly and rushed into Lu Fangfang's arms.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, you big idiot, you've torn my drawing paper!"

Lu Fangfang patted the donkey's head and pushed it out.

But the donkey's head was very strong, and she couldn't push it away, so she simply gave up.

Holding the donkey's head, she rubbed it vigorously. This silly donkey was actually quite amusing.

The little wild donkey nuzzled against her, cuddled for a while, and then immediately ran back to the pasture to eat voraciously.

After a while, it got bored again after eating its fill.

Looking up, it saw Xiao Hua and the little Tibetan fox among the soldiers training in the distance, and immediately ran over.

Upon reaching the training ground, it raised its head and neighed, catching up with dozens of running military horses ahead.

With its mouth wide open as if mocking, it sped up and quickly overtook dozens of military horses, becoming the fastest one.
