A charming military wife travels back to the 1960s, escaping famine across five provinces before finally reaching the cavalry regiment at the foot of the Qilian Mountains, where she begins her life...
"Oh...ah..."
The little wild donkey shook its body and looked at the big girl with some suspicion.
Beside her, Da Niu held a notebook and pencil, carefully observing the little wild donkey. She wanted to draw it but couldn't.
After a while, she stepped forward, looked up, and touched the little wild donkey's belly, slowly feeling it.
The little wild donkey looked down at her, then simply lay down.
This made things much easier for Da Niu. She touched the donkey's back all the way to its head, and even observed its tail.
After a while, she plopped down on the withered grass and started drawing diligently in her notebook with a pencil.
The little wild donkey looked on with great curiosity.
It peeked its head over and peered into the notebook, pushing Da Niu's head to the side.
"Little donkey, don't block my way."
The young woman reached out and pushed the little wild donkey away before picking up her pen again to draw.
...
Seeing the man and the donkey, Lu Fangfang couldn't help but smile.
Touching her belly, she felt a sense of anticipation for her future child. She planned to teach the child to draw, to recognize the animals of the Qilian Mountains, and to ride a horseā¦
By the way, Zhuang Mingcheng should teach you how to ride a horse; he already made that arrangement.
"Oh...ah..."
The little wild donkey couldn't help but bray as it watched the animals gradually appearing in the notebook.
It had already figured it out; the girl had drawn it.
The donkey nudged the big girl with its snout, looking somewhat disgusted; the big girl's drawing was really ugly.
"Hey, you stubborn little donkey, stop fooling around, I haven't finished drawing yet."
The girl patted the donkey's mouth, then lowered her head and continued drawing.
She had forgotten how her aunt painted, so she just did it her own way.
After a while, she quickly got up and ran to Lu Fangfang.
Her face was a little red, and she was a bit embarrassed.
"Hey girl, are you done drawing? Let me see it."
Lu Fangfang smiled and extended her hand.
She took the notebook from Da Niu, held it in front of her, and looked down at it.
"Pfft."
Lu Fangfang couldn't help but laugh after just one glance.
On the notebook, a little wild donkey grinned, its tail wagging high, making people laugh just looking at it.
The little wild donkey that Da Niu drew is very simple, just a few lines, and it looks quite naive, but she captured the characteristics of the little wild donkey and its sillyness.
The little wild donkey approached and nudged the notebook with dissatisfaction.
"Go away, go away, that's just how you are, and you won't let others draw you?"
Lu Fangfang reached out and pushed the donkey's head away, then glared at it.
"Auntie, is my drawing bad?"
"No, it's great, girl. You've captured the silly charm of the little wild donkey. Keep drawing like this from now on, practice for a while, and then learn something else."
Lu Fangfang offered some encouragement and then handed the notebook to Da Niu.
Next, the two of them, one big and one small, sat down on the grass and got busy.
Lu Fangfang held her drawing board and continued drawing the illustrations for the comic book.
As for Da Niu, she was looking at the little wild donkey in her notebook, wanting to draw it in a different way.
"Oh...ah..."
The little wild donkey glanced at the two of them and immediately felt bored.
It turned its head to the west and called out.
Soon, a light yellow weasel peeked over cautiously.
Lu Fangfang looked up and couldn't help but marvel. Her little wild donkey was really amazing; it could actually summon Xiao Huang directly.
Upon closer inspection, she noticed that the little weasel's belly and neck were somewhat similar to those of a wild donkey, all pure white, and quite pretty.
The weasel reached the little wild donkey, climbed directly onto its legs, and finally sat on its head.
The little wild donkey didn't mind. It turned back and brayed at Lu Fangfang before running off to the distant grassland.
"Is it using the wild donkey as a means of transportation?"
Lu Fangfang scratched her head, somewhat puzzled.
Driven by curiosity, she stood up and walked towards the little wild donkey.
Seeing this, Da Niu quickly grabbed her notebook and followed her.
The little wild donkey didn't go far; it was just a few hundred meters away on the grassland.
Lu Fangfang and Da Niu didn't go over there. Instead, they found a small hill and stood on it to observe.
Not far away, the little wild donkey spotted the two people.
"Oh...ah..."
Turning its head, it called out to them, then looked down at the burrow on the ground.
"What is this stubborn little donkey trying to do?"
Lu Fangfang looked around and found that Xiao Huang was nowhere to be seen on the meadow.
Without a doubt, they've gone into their burrows to catch pikas and rabbits.
Thinking of this, she suddenly paused.
Her little wild donkey is the biggest glutton, it even eats the "snacks" on the pasture, and the weasel is a master at catching pikas, could the two of them be working together?
On the grassland not far away, the little wild donkey was already wagging its tail excitedly.
bass!
A weasel, with a pika in its mouth, poked its head out of its burrow.
It looked around warily, then dragged the pika out and placed it in front of the little wild donkey.
The little wild donkey didn't stand on ceremony and rolled it right into its mouth.
"Oh...ah..."
The donkey called out again towards the hillside, and the little wild donkey, leading the weasel, ran to another pika burrow a few dozen meters away and got busy.
"Auntie, why is the little donkey eating pikas?"
The girl rubbed her eyes, still a little dazed.
Beside her, Lu Fangfang had the same expression; she really had seen a ghost.
It's amazing that this donkey and weasel actually cooperated to catch pikas; it seems the two little guys have known each other for quite some time.
"Auntie? Auntie?"
Lu Fangfang looked at Da Niu and shook her head helplessly, "There's nothing that this gluttonous donkey won't eat."
The donkey and the weasel worked so well together that Lu Fangfang was worried they would eat all the pikas on the grassland.
However, considering the terrifying rate at which pikas reproduce, she felt relieved.
Squinting, she looked into the distance, where Xiao Huang had made another discovery.
However, this time the little wild donkey was very loyal and didn't eat the pika that Little Yellow caught. Instead, it took Little Yellow back to the pasture in front of the farm.
Lu Fangfang was both amused and exasperated, so she had no choice but to take Da Niu back.
Sitting on the meadow, pen in hand, she couldn't help but glance at the little wild donkey.
At this moment, the little wild donkey had a bulging belly, having eaten and drunk its fill.
It lay in front of the two of them, squinting its eyes, looking sleepy.
Seeing Lu Fangfang staring at it, it wagged its little tail and moved closer.
"Go away, go away. If you eat pikas in the future, don't come near me."
Lu Fangfang gave it a disdainful shove, and it thought about buying a big brush later to give the little wild donkey a mouth cleaning.
She couldn't help but look at the little wild donkey again. She found that this gluttonous donkey had a lot of shortcomings, but it was actually quite lovable. By the way, it was not easy to win the favor of animals.
Who knows, she might have to ask the little wild donkey for help to seduce a Pallas's cat in the future.
