Chapter 488 A family of Tibetan foxes, and groundhogs after hibernation

"Sis, don't geese not eat meat? Why does it want to eat pikas?"

Xiuxiu was almost dumbfounded as she looked at the big white goose in front of her.

"Who said that? Geese don't eat meat?"

"That's what my mother said. She said it eats water plants and some small insects."

Lu Fangfang sat on the donkey cart and scratched her head. She looked at the big white goose and then at the little wild donkey.

No wonder they can hang out together; they're both a pair of quirky and lovable oddballs.

"Maybe it's a case of reversion to our ancestral forms? All the pets we keep at home are practically sentient."

After thinking about it for a moment, Lu Fangfang couldn't stop laughing.

The big white goose in my house weighs more than ten kilograms. It has a long neck and looks almost a meter tall. It is very majestic.

But now, walking alongside the little wild donkey, it looked dejected, as if it had suffered a blow.

"Alright, there are plenty of pikas on the grassland. Once we catch some, we'll give them to you two to eat first."

Lu Fangfang watched for a while longer, then couldn't help but offer a word of advice.

"Giggle~"

"Oh...ah..."

The little wild donkey immediately straightened its ears, and the big white goose also straightened its neck.

The two little ones turned to look at Lu Fangfang, then surveyed the surroundings menacingly.

"You two are such a handful!"

Lu Fangfang laughed and scolded.

I turned my head and looked at Xiaohua. She was walking beside the donkey cart, yawning.

Noticing that Lu Fangfang was looking at it, it turned its head and looked back.

"Little Flower, come up here."

Lu Fangfang waved to it.

At home, Xiaohua is the one that makes it the least worrisome.

"Meow~"

Xiao Hua leaped up and easily jumped onto the donkey cart.

Lu Fangfang hugged it tightly and then slowly began to stroke it.

"Meow~"

Xiaohua groaned comfortably and lay down.

"Sis, Xiaohua has grown even bigger again, hasn't she?"

Xiuxiu touched Xiaohua's tail and felt that not only had Xiaohua's body grown bigger, but even its tail had grown longer.

"Hmm, it looks like it's grown a lot bigger. Little Flower is over a year old now. Thinking back to when I first found it last year, it was just a tiny little kitten."

Lu Fangfang sighed, remarking on how quickly time had passed.

Rubbing her fluffy head, she looked ahead again.

Whether it was her bad luck or not, they didn't see any pikas for the rest of the journey.

The once-fierce white goose and the little wild donkey both became bored.

Soon, the group arrived at Tuboling.

...

At dawn, five Tibetan fox cubs were playing with each other at the entrance of their cave.

The mother Tibetan fox sat in front of her children, as always, her face full of melancholy.

Seeing the familiar two-legged creatures arrive, it yawned boredly, then pushed aside the little Tibetan fox in front of it and continued to watch the two-legged creatures.

"Sister, look! They've all survived the winter."

Xiuxiu was delighted to see the little Tibetan foxes.

Lu Fangfang felt the same way.

All five Tibetan fox cubs are still alive and have grown even bigger.

By summer, they will be able to live independently.

I looked at the mother Tibetan fox again; she had become much thinner.

It seems that feeding five children must have taken a lot of toll on it.

Ahead, the big white goose curiously glanced at the few Tibetan fox cubs, then turned back to look at the little yellow dog with a puzzled expression.

"Giggle~"

"Awoo~"

The little yellow dog ignored it, jumped onto the donkey cart, walked to Xiaohua's side, and snuggled into Lu Fangfang's arms.

"How old are you? You're still the same as before."

Lu Fangfang patted the little Tibetan fox's head and comforted it.

To avoid upsetting the little yellow dog, she watched for a while longer before letting the little wild donkey pull her along as she continued north.

"Awoo~"

"Awoo~"

A little Tibetan fox watched them go with curiosity, then went to play with its brothers and sisters.

The donkey cart swayed and wobbled for more than ten minutes before arriving at a small hill.

Just then, a groundhog was busy pushing soil in front of its burrow. When it saw the unfamiliar donkey cart approaching, it immediately straightened up and squeaked warily.

"Ah, ah, ah..."

bass!

The marmots that were foraging nearby immediately stood up like it and looked south.

"Whoa~"

Lu Fangfang stopped the little wild donkey and then looked at the hillside in front of her.

The groundhogs, which hibernated all winter, didn't look much thinner; they were still chubby and quite endearing.

"Big white goose, hurry up, that's a rat too, and it's really fat. If you catch one, you can eat it for a week."

"Giggle~"

Seeing seven or eight yellow rats that were heavier than itself, the big white goose, with its short, fat tail between its legs, turned around and hid behind the donkey cart.

It stretched out its long neck and looked around curiously.

The white geese had never seen anything like this before; they were so fat, they looked like little piglets.

Lu Fangfang glanced back at it and couldn't help but chuckle twice.

"Meow~"

Little Flower raised her head and looked at the groundhogs, seemingly eager to try.

“We won’t eat it. It’s filthy and might even have fleas.”

Lu Fangfang stroked the little flower's fluffy head and pulled it back into her arms.

Now, Xiao Hua weighs nearly 40 kilograms, making it very easy for her to hunt a marmot.

However, Lu Fangfang didn't want it to hunt groundhogs.

"Ah ah..."

The groundhogs discovered the snow leopard on the donkey cart.

The fattest one squealed a few times, and then the groundhogs all scurried back into their burrows.

Lu Fangfang was petting Xiaohua, feeling regretful, when she saw a male Tibetan fox with dull fur emerge from the shady side of the hillside.
